I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

resurrection?

This subtle word is like the subtle mentality of all the generals in the conference room.

The reappearance of pirates from more than a hundred years ago is not an unacceptable thing.

After all, some people do live far longer than ordinary people.

What's more, there are giants in this world who can live for three hundred years, and the number of one hundred years doesn't seem to be a lot.

Even if an old pirate who is over a hundred years old appears on this sea again, what kind of storm can he cause?

As powerful as Whitebeard is, he has become more settled over the years due to age and injuries.

Even though Xue Tong was such a legendary pirate in his time, he might not be better than a well-trained young soldier now.

"resurrection……"

He frowned, as if he thought of something, and said slowly,

"Sengoku, you mean he is still at his peak strength?"

"W-what!"

After He finished speaking, the Rear Admiral officer was shocked and said, "How is that possible? Does he have the blood of a giant?"

Brannew stood up straight, put his hands behind his back and said, "As far as I know, the Herman royal family is pure human blood."

"Then... why?" a general asked.

"I'm afraid it has something to do with his Devil Fruit ability, but how to 'resurrection' is not the point. The point is that he is active again now. Even Colonel Baron, the base commander of the G-46 branch, died heroically because of fighting with him...

What do you think of this matter? "

Sengoku glanced at everyone with a serious expression.

"That disciple of Zephyr, I remember that his strength is quite good, but actually..."

"Baron? He has been in the headquarters for almost twenty years since he was recruited into the army. He never expected to die at the hands of pirates."

Surprised whispers continued to sound.

"Since the other party is a pirate who has done many evil things, let's eliminate him as soon as possible in the name of justice!"

Akainu pressed his hat, his expression shrouded in shadow, "No matter what, we must not allow its power to grow and threaten justice!"

"I... don't agree with what Sakazuki said."

Kizaru, who never liked to talk, spoke unusually, and everyone including Sengoku looked at him in surprise.

"Porusalino, what do you mean?" Akainu said coldly.

"To deal with such a legendary pirate, I'm afraid we will have to face the same pressure as waging war against the Four Emperors."

Kizaru slowly crossed his legs and leaned back on the seat, "Can we bear the cost of weakening Marine's strength and breaking the current balance of forces?"

Seeing that all the generals were silent, he said silently:

"It seems that no one likes the work to suddenly become arduous. If the headquarters and various branches carry out high-intensity coordination and deployment, my off-duty time will be used to work overtime."

"Porushalino Admiral, do you mean that Marine just ignored it and turned a blind eye?"

The ghost spider looked at the Admiral who looked quite leisurely and at ease.

"What does it matter! That guy Balon has always had a bad reputation. I have long been unhappy with him. I don't know who has been recommending him. It is a good thing for him to die with honor!"

Garp spoke without hesitation.

"I recommended it."

Sengoku responded calmly.

Today, this seemingly peaceful and stable sea is actually like a damp red brick.

Once you pick it up, you can see dense ants crawling underneath.

In order to eliminate these endless pirates, Marine had to put "talent" over "virtue".

This is not what Sengoku means per se, but comes from a higher level.

but.

He doesn't tell anyone else this.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, it is also his duty to contain the darkness from behind.

"It turns out to be Sengoku, you bastard!"

Garp suddenly slapped the table and stood up, blowing his nose and staring.

"Sit down, Garp." Sengoku ordered.

"Hmph." Garp snorted and stopped talking.

"Currently, Xue Tong has not done anything too out of bounds. Instead of making Marine a powerful enemy again, it is better to let it go for the time being."

Momousagi looked at everyone's expressions with some hesitation, and then said, "Treat him the same way you treat Pluton Rayleigh."

Pluton Rayleigh has been living in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago since the Roger Pirates disbanded.

The middle and senior management of Naval Headquarters have also acquiesced in this matter. Although they have been sending people to monitor its actions, in fact, Marine has not made preparations for war with it for so many years.

Just like Kizaru said just now.

War has a price to pay.

"Gion is so right, I think so too!"

The tea dolphin chuckled, moved his chair, and moved closer to Momousagi.

The Admiral's back-up was not thinking about this matter at all at the moment.

He slowly shook his head: "No, Xue Tong is not like Rayleigh. His danger level has been obvious to all a hundred years ago. He is a world-class criminal."

"So, Xiaohe, what do you mean?" Sengoku asked.

He continued: "But fortunately, that guy has always liked to live alone and has not left behind a huge force, otherwise his energy may exceed...the revolutionary army.

Sengoku, this matter is very important. I can't give you a reasonable suggestion now. It's up to you to decide. "

"Xiaohe..."

It was also the first time that Sengoku saw the great staff officer He, who was always able to calmly analyze the battle situation, be so hesitant.

During the noisy and inconsistent discussion in the conference room, he suddenly realized that any decision made at this stage was still too hasty.

This matter is no longer something that Naval Headquarters can resolve on its own.

He had to go to Mariejois himself and report to higher-ups.

Sengoku took a deep breath: "Okay, I already have an idea on this matter, you don't have to argue anymore."

"What are you going to do, Sengoku?"

Garp crossed his arms over his chest and looked at his comrade who had worked with him for fifty or sixty years with a look of extreme displeasure.

The other generals all stopped arguing and looked at Sengoku.

"Marine will not take any action until I come back from Mariejois. Also, Xiaozuru, please go with me. You must also attend the Shichibukai meeting held by the World government."

Sengoku stood up and said, "Then let's break up this meeting."

After all the officials in the conference room dispersed in twos and threes, he looked at Brannew, who had been standing upright next to the backboard:

"Brannew, please inform me and ask Smoker to continue to monitor Xue Tong. Any actions must be reported in time!"

"Yes, Marshal Sengoku!"

…

"Is this Naval Headquarters' decision?"

Smoker held the telephone bug's receiver expressionlessly.

Tashigi looked around cautiously, fearing that someone would hear him.

"This is what the marshal means. You don't have to think too much. Just do this for the time being to avoid causing more trouble."

The phone bug's voice paused, "Hina doesn't want to see only your body the next time we meet."

"I know, that's it."

Smoker hung up the phone.

"Report, report!"

The urgent knock on the door made Tashigi tremble behind the door, and he nervously blocked the door with his body.

"Tashigi, let him in."

Smoker was puffing on his cigar.

The door to the captain's office was opened, and the soldier gasped out of breath. After seeing the familiar and generous figure, he stammered:

"Report, Report Smoker Commodore, we have discovered a pirate ship approaching, it is Seven Warlords of the Sea..."
