Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

In the ruined new naval headquarters, Sakaski casually burned his rotten cloak and looked with displeasure at the Liaoyuan Army ships and the Moby Dick that had disappeared in the distance.

It was almost there, just almost there, if not... he had the confidence to keep one of the three parties that came to the Naval Headquarters this time.

But...

laugh...

Sakaski lit a cigar, held it in his mouth and took a deep puff, then picked up the Den Den Mushi that had been connected for a long time, and said in a bad tone: "Give me a reason."

Who would have thought that Den Den Mushi's tone would be even more hostile: "Reason? You're asking us for a reason? Get to know your identity, Sakaski! Who gave you the right to disobey our orders? Are you really going to label the entire navy as traitors?!"

Facing the rebuke, Sakaski's tone did not waver at all:

"I thought you all understood what I said before, but it seems I need to say it again today." He said to Den Den Mushi word by word: "In front of the navy, the only priority is to eliminate evil. Apart from that, nothing and no one can stop us."

"Including you, the Five Elders!"

"It's because of guys like you who keep getting in the way that the Navy has been unable to completely eradicate evil."

"Do you know what you are talking about?! Sakaski!" The other side was obviously a little furious: "We sent three quasi-admirals to help you deal with Whitebeard, but what did you do? You almost beat them to death! If it weren't for your insistence, we would have publicly executed Whitebeard tomorrow!"

"On the premise of cooperating with pirates?" Sakaski interrupted the Five Elders' rampage: "Such things have been prohibited since Sengoku left the Navy. Whether it's the Shichibukai or Blackbeard, whatever you want with the World Government, don't think the Navy will cooperate with you. When faced with evil, the Navy will only do one thing, and that is to fight back with swords and guns."

"you!"

"Well, now is not the time to talk about this."

A second voice came from the Den Den Mushi, interrupting what the previous person was saying.

Perhaps it had calmed down, the voice just snorted and said no more.

Sakaski also brought up the topic again at this time: "I hope the reasons you will give next will be enough to convince me to stop eliminating evil."

At this time, a sigh came from the Den Den Mushi: "Don't go out of your way to provoke us, Sakaski. Since we have given you the power before, we will not regret it. Even you, you are not willing to lead the navy to stand against the World Government. So you don't have to show such indignation. You and I know that when you hit those three people, the mission was doomed to fail. Even if we didn't send people to stop you from going out to sea to hunt, you would end up with nothing."

After saying this, Sakaski's tone was no longer so aggressive: "I really prefer to talk to smart people, but I also know that the person before was just testing me, so I'll give you what I said just now."

If someone were here, they would just think that the city people are terrible.

That quarrel just now where he was about to curse his parents over a disagreement, was actually just a test of each other?

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point. Whose ass do you want the Navy to clean up this time?"

Den Den Mushi was obviously choked by Sakaski's dirty words, but in the end he didn't say much, and turned to the main topic: "Just two hours ago, Blackbeard's men raided Future Island, injured Vegapunk, and part of the laboratory was destroyed."

"Hmm?" Sakaski stroked his chin and thought, "Future Island is not your most precious place. Even the navy does not have troops stationed there for a long time. But the defense force there is definitely sufficient. Not only does it have the latest version of Pacifist, but there are also more powerful sea beast weapons in the surrounding waters. How did Blackbeard and his men raid and leave?"

"Alas, this is indeed our negligence." The Five Elders from Den Den Mushi sighed, which was rare. "They... landed directly from the air to the core area. We underestimated Blackbeard. He is even more cunning than Golden Lion!"

Yes, it's that simple.

As Vegapunk's research base, Future Island is heavily guarded, but these defense forces are all guarding against attacks from the sea. Who would have thought that Blackbeard's men would directly launch an air strike?

You know, at this time, Blackbeard is cooperating with the World Government!

Whenever they thought of this, the Five Elders felt a chill. Compared with Whitebeard, Luffy, Kaido and Big Mom, Blackbeard's methods were dozens of times more insidious.

Even Roger and Golden Lion of the previous era are not as good as him.

It's just... the same as Rocks back then.

The Five Elders then remembered that people like Blackbeard were real pirates, and were completely different from the bastard Whitebeard, the drunkard Kaido, and the fertility freak Big Mom.

Or maybe it's because the Five Elders have been facing these weirdos over the years, causing them to forget the tension and madness of fighting against real pirates.

"Humph, you are courting disaster."

Sakaski snorted coldly, and then said: "The World Government must have Blackbeard's accomplices, otherwise how could they have succeeded in the raid so quickly? You'd better clean up your own tail first."

Then he asked again: "What did they take away?"

However, Den Den Mushi fell silent.

After a long moment, a voice said, "This is why we are looking for you: we don't know what they took."

"Ok?"

"They obviously have an insider who is familiar with the layout of Future Island. It took less than 30 minutes from the time they attacked to the time they left, but they destroyed almost 80% of the laboratories. Their tactics were very clean, and we couldn't even restore the laboratories. So we have no idea what they took away. Or, we can assume that they took everything."

The voice in the Den Den Mushi continued, "Even if you don't care about Future Island, you should understand what is there."

"Bloodline factors, sea beast weapons, giant robot prototypes... every technology that is capable of bringing disaster to the ocean is there."

"Now, all these technologies have fallen into the hands of an ambitious person. If he is given time, the evil in this sea will be completely eliminated..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Sakaski interrupted with a snort, "This is originally your business. I am also tired of cleaning up your mess endlessly, but..."

Sakaski turned around and looked at the sea level in the distance. In his eyes, he seemed to see the sinful flames of the future that were about to rise in the future, and the man dancing in the flames, symbolizing ugly desires.

"I will solve this matter for the sake of justice!"
