Uchiha's opinion

After the naval military affairs meeting, Sengoku took Kizaru for a slow walk in the garden of the navy headquarters.

"...Why are you still unwilling to undergo limb splicing surgery?"

After the two wandered for a long time, Sengoku broke the silence between them.

"dislike."

Kizaru still looked lazy.

"do you know……"

Warring States did not continue to dwell on this issue: "Concerning the investigation of the Battle of Dongdao, CP0's report is very unfavorable to you."

"Is it……"

Kizaru still looked indifferent.

"Especially the blank time after the escape and before returning to the headquarters. You didn't say anything, but CP0 is also investigating your whereabouts and the people you came into contact with during that time..."

Sengoku stopped, looked directly at Kizaru and said, "Are you hiding something?"

"Maybe there is, but there is no reason."

Kizaru shrugged slightly: "It's not important anyway."

"Too……"

Warring States nodded, unexpectedly gave up and continued to ask, and then said: "Long is a good boy, it's better not to involve him."

"you all……"

Kizaru could no longer maintain his lazy expression.

"I have no idea."

Warring States shook his head and continued to pace in the garden with his hands behind his back.

Kizaru hesitated for a moment, then quickened his pace and followed him.

"What do you think of the combat arrangements in the new world?"

After the two of them walked around for a while, Seng Guo changed the topic again.

"If you just face Whitebeard or Kaido, it won't be a big problem even if their forces join together, but if the Four Emperors really form an alliance..."

Kizaru didn't say any more and just shook his head.

Moreover, according to Kizaru's calculations, if a war breaks out in the New World, the 'remnants of the huge kingdom' who are building large-scale construction projects in the East China Sea to build up their strength will definitely launch a large-scale offensive as a response. At that time, the navy will be caught in a naive dilemma.

"You are right, the Four Emperors Alliance is what we need to be wary of most."

Sengoku agreed with this: "Neither the world government nor the navy can withstand the blow of the fall of the New World, so a quick victory is necessary. Sakaski is right about this, but his method is too crude."

"That……"

Kizaru raised his eyebrows, very puzzled.

Since we know that the power deployed in the new world is insufficient, why do we still...

"I'm going to propose giving up Impel Down..."

Warring States asked seemingly casually: "What do you think?"

"...It's still not enough."

Kizaru thought for a moment, but still shook his head.

Although it is true that some of the trapped troops can be recovered after abandoning the impel city, this is still not enough to change the situation of the battle.

After all, Impel Down City is nominally an organization at the same level as the Navy, and the number of troops directly under its jurisdiction is not very large. We don’t care about the impact of taking back this part of the troops, but the real negative impact it will have on a global scale. deadly.

What's more, after abandoning the impel city, the fleet that the survivors are besieging will definitely be freed. If they turn around and enter the South China Sea...

"It doesn't matter, I will take action when the time comes!"

Warring States patted Kizaru's intact right shoulder and said leisurely.

"...By the way, if I get a mechanical prosthesis, should I change my name?"

Huang Yuan was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He took three steps at a time to catch up with Seng Guo, who was wandering leisurely. He said sincerely: "After all, Senior Zefa is known as the 'Black Wrist', so if I also get one, As for mechanical prosthetics..."

"Yellow wrist? It doesn't feel good!"

Kizaru shook his head and muttered to himself.

"The name I have now is pretty good. After all, you have to get it back if you lose it..."

A bright smile appeared on Sengoku's face.

"Too."

Kizaru nodded with deep understanding and said nothing more.

The reason why he said so much was just to express his feelings from the side, and he didn't really have the idea of ​​changing his name.

"By the way, CP0's investigation report on you arrived early this morning. However, their agent was very unfortunate and drowned in the port of the Shampoo Islands. Therefore, the report was soaked in sea water and the original handwriting was unclear, so I re-printed it. I wrote it and handed it in..."

Warring States said pointedly: "In addition, Long's subordinates don't seem to be so law-abiding and abiding by their beliefs. You need to remind him."

"...I, I understand."

Kizaru's scalp suddenly felt numb and he stuttered in reply.

For the first time, he felt that the 'good old man' Warring States in his past impression was actually so ruthless!

All I can say is that he is a blatantly wise general of the Navy!

‘You have to work hard from now on! ’

Kizaru calmed down and made a decision that went against his life creed.

…

Uchiha Tokumitsu sat on Don Island in the East China Sea for a while, and after confirming that the navy had no counterattack plan in the near future, he prepared to set off and return to the ninja world.

After all, as the emperor of the dynasty, it is not appropriate to stay on the front line all the time.

However, among the six frontier tailed beasts, he kept one Shukaku. After all, this big tanuki felt very uncomfortable even if he stayed on the island in the Demon Triangle Sea because the environment was too humid, so he might as well Let him stay on Dong Island and keep Asura company.

As for the ninjas in the Second Legion accompanying this battle, Uchiha Tokumitsu handed them over to Uzumaki Ichiraku and adjusted his position from the chief of staff of the advance army to the command of the East China Sea of ​​the Second Legion.

As for Asura...

He is very busy.

Busy gathering a group of people everywhere to build one republic after another.

Nowadays, there are as many as fifty established republics in the East China Sea. However, except for the initial thirteen republics on Dongdao Island and the surrounding areas, which have some armed forces, the thirty-seven newly built republics basically cannot even raise a few militiamen. Counting stuff.

But Uzumaki Ichiraku, who had just come to power to take over the defense, didn't care either.

After all, the existence of these so-called republics is just to hide their eyes from others. What the ninja world government needs are mines and deep-sea fish farms. As for the farmland, offshore fishing areas and even mountains and forests that were originally controlled by the nobles, Uzumaki Ichi is happy to acquire them. After Uchiha Tokumitsu agreed, he generously allocated all of them to various republics, and distributed them to the poor civilians under the leadership of Ashura.

As a result, Asura's reputation was at its peak, and he was regarded as a saint by the common people who were granted land.

"It turns out that it is such a simple thing to establish a regime and achieve stable rule."

The smug Asura said to Uzumaki Ichiraku.

"It's really simple, just be a human being."

Uzumaki Ichiraku replied: "But the problem is that the nobles in the past were too inhumane, or they thought they were human beings but in fact they were not human beings, or even they did not regard human beings as human beings; so when someone stood up, they were not recognized as human beings. People who are human will follow the situation."

…

The revolutionary army established by Monkey D. Long has been squeezed into a corner.

To the east of the revolutionary army's power, there is an invincible armored fleet patrolling the sea day and night. The sharp and fierce naval guns are enough to sink any ill-intentioned ship from a distance. Ordinary pirates or navy have no chance to fight back or engage in close combat.

To the south is the Navy's East China Sea Front led by Lieutenant General Karp, which controls the sea area centered on Rogge Town. The actual control area is roughly one-sixth of the East China Sea.

Therefore, if the revolutionary army wants to continue to expand, it must break out of this substantial encirclement.

But how easy is it?

After all, the Revolutionary Army is not very strong. If the main combat force is invested in other sea areas, it is very likely that the current controlled area will be easily annexed - especially when the news that the Republic camp in the east has begun to divide and grant land has spread to the Revolutionary Army. After the war broke out, many civilians became dissatisfied and strongly demanded to copy the operations of the Republic camp.

But Monkey D. Dragon couldn't do that.

Because among the supporters of his revolutionary army, there are a large number of businessmen and even members from small aristocratic families. Although this group of people is willing to join the revolution and overthrow the corrupt world government, they have never taken the initiative to wave to themselves. The courage and possibility of the knife.

So whether to stay or go becomes a question.

If you stay, the development of the revolutionary army will be out of the question; if you go out, today's old areas will most likely be occupied, and the risk is still very high.

Monkey D. Long was also unable to make a choice for a while.

But not long after, Kizaru, who had made an appointment with him to exchange news, took the initiative to send two phone bugs.

An ordinary phone bug used for long-distance calls, and a white phone bug used to attach to the ordinary phone bug and emit interference waves to prevent eavesdropping.

"This guy actually..."

Monkey D. Long originally thought that the 'exchange of news' that Kizaru said before leaving was just talk, but now it seems that Kizaru seems to be very serious...

He didn't hesitate long before he ordered someone to bring a plug-in module with fax function and mount it on the phone bug, and sent a photo of the room where Kizaru was being treated for his injuries.

"Dudududu!"

It didn't take long for the phone bug to receive a reply from Kizaru's selfie fax.

Moreover, Kizaru in the photo made a 'V' with his mechanized left arm, and the clock and calendar in the background also showed the current time.

Monkey D. Long was slightly relieved and determined that this was not a fishing operation by the secret organization of the world government, so he immediately picked up the phone bug and started calling.

"Dudududu!"

Soon the phone bug was connected.

"it's me."

Kizaru on the other side said proactively.

"I know……"

Monkey D. Long replied calmly.

"There is a mole within the revolutionary army."

Kizaru did not make any unnecessary pleasantries, and went straight to the point and told the information he learned from Sengoku.

"……How did you know?"

Monkey D. Long's eyelids suddenly jumped.

"...CP0 agents have already written the report and brought it back to the Shampoo Islands in person."

Kizaru on the other end of the phone said slowly.

Monkey D. Long couldn't tell Kizaru's mood at this time from his voice.

If what Kizaru said is true, then it is true that there is a mole within the Revolutionary Army.

After all, when Kizaru was rescued, there were also middle- and high-level cadres of the Revolutionary Army present. Although Monkey D. Long strictly blocked the news after that, after all, people had many mouths and some leaks were inevitable.

But he also had some vague expectations...

If Kizaru chooses to leave the navy because of this, wouldn't the situation be completely revitalized all of a sudden?

But he casually flipped through the phone's box, and it was clearly marked with words like 'Navy Headquarters', 'Top Secret', 'Valuables', etc. It seemed that Kizaru had no intention of running away...

So Monkey D. Long did not rush to express his opinion, but continued to listen to what Kizaru had to say.

"It's just a pity that the agent fell into the water and drowned..."

Sure enough, Kizaru changed the topic and his tone became funny and a little gloating.

"That's really gratifying..."

Monkey D. Long then felt that it was inappropriate to congratulate him, so he coughed and cleared his throat and said, "What a sad thing!"

"yes……"

Kizaru on the other side of the phone was also a little emotional: "But there is no way, this is life..."

"..."

Monkey D. Long really didn’t know how to answer the question.

"On your side, be prepared to migrate."

Kizaru continued: "The peace in the East China Sea will not last long."

"You're right……"

Monkey D. Long also understood what Kizaru meant.

But now the new revolutionary army has finally managed to secure a territory, and it is still surrounded by the navy and the 'remnants'. He is very worried that once he leaves, the existing sphere of influence will be immediately annexed.

"Let's go to the new world."

Kizaru said: "The North Sea and the West Sea are the places where there is great potential."

As for the South China Sea, which is also in the first half of the Great Route, it is the basic base for the navy to expand its armaments in the future. Its emphasis and deployment of troops will be greatly increased, and it is not suitable to become the next destination of the revolutionary army.

"Why?"

Although Monkey D. Long was a little moved, he still asked.

"...Don't make it difficult for Garp-senpai."

Kizaru came in silence for a long time, and then said quietly: "Don't make it difficult for me and the Warring States Marshal."

"you mean……"

Monkey D. Long was a little surprised and couldn't figure out why this was related to Sengoku, the marshal of the Navy Headquarters.

As for the relationship with his father, Lieutenant General Garp, it is easy to understand. After all, Kizaru's words both inside and outside revealed the scope of the Navy's future actions in the East China Sea.

But this is normal. After all, the World Government cannot tolerate one force - especially the 'remnants of the huge kingdom' with sworn hatred, separatist territory in the East China Sea for a long time.

"Well... Marshal Sengoku also put some thought into the matter of agent CP0 falling into the water."

Kizaru said: "But it can only go so far. It will definitely not work in the long run."

"Moreover, before the two major forces go to war, they will not tolerate the continued existence of a weak third party."

"I see……"

Monkey D. Long took a deep breath and made a decision: "So, when is the best time to leave?"

"In three days."

Kizaru also gave a clear time: "When the time comes, I will arrange it for you with the coater from the Chambord Islands."

"good……"

Although the time was very tight, Monkey D. Long agreed without much hesitation.

"By the way, give me a hint..."

Before he was about to hang up the phone call, Kizaru suddenly added another point: "There will be a power vacuum in the new world soon, so seize the opportunity when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, Monkey D. Long only heard a busy tone on his phone.

The Navy, the Four Emperors, and the Shichibukai, these are the three major forces in the new world...

So, how and where will the ‘power vacuum’ mentioned by Kizaru appear?

Monkey D. Long was puzzled. (End of chapter)
