One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix.

Chapter 243 Justice reigns over the world

The calm sea water gradually rose up, and the overlapping waves gathered into more turbulent waves. Under the cloudless sky, the roaring white giant beast opened its teeth and claws and rushed towards the towering fortress in the distance.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

On the top of the majestic building complex, the white seagull flag flutters in the sky, telling the world the justice of the navy.

"That's what happened. That's what the pirate who calls himself the Blackbeard Pirates said."

In the Navy's conference room, Lafayette's performance at the Holy Land Marie-Joya was being played.

"It's scary! He's really a scary guy using his former companions to gain the position of the Shichibukai." Kizaru said meaningfully, crossing his legs and manicuring his nails.

"Ah la la, if we agree to his conditions, there will definitely be a huge conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates."

"After all, that guy with white beard," Kuzan paused mid-sentence, then continued, "he is the one who protects his shortcomings."

"Perhaps, this matter will cause a large-scale conflict between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates."

Faced with this serious problem, Kuzan, who has always been lazy and fishy, ​​also cheered up.

"Hmph! They are just pirates. They should have been eliminated a long time ago. Even if a full-scale war breaks out between the navy and the pirates, we will not hesitate. As long as the pirates can be eradicated, a little sacrifice is nothing."

Akainu, who never showed mercy to pirates, spoke as coldly as ever.

"Ahe, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

The Navy Chief Staff Officer He, who looked decrepit but was actually very energetic, thought carefully for a while and then said: "That old guy with Whitebeard regards his crew as his sons. If he knows that Fire Fist Ace and With the Foil Bista in the hands of our navy, it will definitely hit Imperialton."

"If this is the case, we can just take this opportunity to give the Whitebeard Pirates a heavy blow, reenact the struggle between the four emperors of the past, and provoke a new struggle for hegemony in the new world."

After expressing his opinion, Lieutenant General He turned his attention to Admiral Sengoku, who was sitting above and wearing a white seagull hat.

It can be said that the plan proposed by He, who is the chief staff officer of the navy, is very feasible, but the outcome of this war is hard to say.

The total number of the Whitebeard Pirates and the affiliated pirate groups under their command probably exceeds tens of thousands, and most of them are powerful pirates who have experienced the fighting in the New World and been selected.

The current strength of the Navy Headquarters alone cannot match it in quantity and quality.

Even if the Navy headquarters wins by chance in this war, it will cause irreparable damage to the headquarters.

Marinefando is not just a simple name, it is the holy place of justice in the eyes of all naval forces.

Standing in front of the table with his hands folded, the lenses of his toad glasses shining with white light, Seng Guo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"If this is the case, I plan to summon the elite navies from all over the world and the Grand Line, stage a battle in Marinevando, and publicly execute Firefist Ace and Foil Bista."

"Use this opportunity to completely destroy the entire Whitebeard Pirates, increase the reputation of the navy, and at the same time end this era of great pirates that was started by our mistakes."

The empty conference room was silent at the moment. The three naval admirals and He present looked at Sengoku with disbelief.

"Sengoku, this plan is too crazy and the World Government will not agree to it."

"You forgot, Drought Jack was released before, and Kaido, the beast who escaped accidentally some time ago, what the world government wants is balance in the sea."

"There's no need to say anymore, Kazuo. I've been a navy marshal for so long, so I naturally know the world government's attitude towards pirates."

Under the white lenses, Seng Guo's eyes revealed a firm look.

"The era of great pirates brought too much harm to the civilians on this sea. As the initiator, it's time for me to give them an explanation."

Looking through the conference room, he saw the plaque of justice hanging in the marshal's office, he saw the East China Sea in the far corner of the world, and he saw Roger kneeling on the execution platform, roaring to start the era of great pirates.

Taking off his glasses, Warring States rubbed his sore eyes, and suddenly remembered the question that An had asked himself through the phone bug.

"Grandpa Warring States, does this conform to our justice?"

Recalling his original answer, Warring States murmured to himself, "An, now it's my turn, grandpa, to pay the price for justice."

Putting on the toad glasses again, Sengoku felt like a different person, going back to the day when he took office as the navy marshal, and back to the day when he hung the plaque "Justice that Rules the World" in his office.

"Sakaski, go to Demon Valley Town in person and receive the two captains of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Feeling the determination of the Warring States Period, Akainu, an iron-blooded soldier, walked out of the conference room with sonorous steps.

The end of the great pirate era? What a courageous decision, Mr. Sengoku.

"Alala, Mr. Warring States, is there anything I can do?" This is the first time Kuzan has volunteered since the O'Hara incident.

"Bulu Bulu!"

The harsh call of a phone bug interrupted the two people who were about to have a conversation.

"At this juncture, something important happened again!"

The only ones who could make calls to the phone bugs of the Warring States Period were basically those five old guys.

"Moxi Moxi, I am Sengoku."

"Warring States! Charles de Saint-Germain was attacked by unknown enemies on the Gulan Tezzolo. Let the admiral set out quickly to ensure the life of Charles de Saint-Germain."

The reason why the Five Old Stars are so angry is not only because some people dare to attack the Celestial Dragons and provoke the world government, but also because Charles Dro Saint is the only remaining bloodline of the Celestial Dragon Clan family.

"Marshal Warring States, it's time to get off work, I'm leaving first!"

He stared intently at the big clock in the conference room. The minute hand had just reached 12. Before the bell rang, Kizaru, who saw that he might have to work overtime, turned into a golden light and flew out of the conference room.

Veins popped up on his forehead, and Seng Guo's eyelids twitched, and he cursed in a low voice: "This grease monkey."

"What Kizaru doesn't know is that even if he doesn't slip away, Sengoku will send someone else this time.

Gently patting Kuzan's cold shoulder, Warring States said meaningfully.

"Kuzan's mission this time will be left to you. After this war with Whitebeard, I will recommend you to the World Government as the next marshal of the navy. The rest is up to you."

If his plan succeeds, then the pirate force will suffer an unprecedented blow. Without the new people who go to sea every year, the pirate group will slowly die out over time, and even the world government cannot stop it.

On the contrary, if his plan fails, the navy's strength will inevitably be seriously damaged. The navy will definitely not be able to launch an attack in a short time, and it will even need to withdraw its garrison in the New World.

No matter which of these two situations occurs, Kuzan is more suitable to become the new navy marshal than Akainu.
