Chapter 1236 Naval Initiatives
When the world was shocked by the final outcome of the Battle of Dark Island, the Navy Headquarters, which was the embodiment of justice on the sea, was also involved, and Akainu personally convened the most prestigious meeting of the headquarters to discuss the matter.
Due to the haste of the Battle of Dark Island, no one expected that the Straw Hat Pirates would take the initiative to attack the world's number one Blackbeard Pirates, even the Navy Headquarters did not think of it, so when they got the news of the Battle of Dark Island, the war was over.
The result of the war was even more than they imagined, the Straw Hat Pirates actually won the victory, defeating the Blackbeard Pirates head-on.
Before the war, anyone who said that the Straw Hat Pirates could defeat the Blackbeard Pirates would probably be called fools by everyone, although after the fall of the Red-Haired Pirates, many people began to call the Straw Hat Pirates the new generation of Four Emperors.
But in the hearts of the world, the perception of the Straw Hat Pirates is just a rookie pirate group, and the most famous is only the killing god Lin Tian, just a rookie pirate group, how can it defeat the red-haired pirates, and the Blackbeard Pirates who have a large number of strong people in the previous era.
The outcome of the war shattered everyone's eyes, the Blackbeard Pirates were defeated, and the Straw Hat Pirates emerged victorious and sat on the throne of the world's number one pirate group.
When this news reached the staff headquarters of the Navy Headquarters, the entire Navy Headquarters was shocked, and even when Akainu saw the news, he couldn't help but be stunned, and only reacted after half a ring, and then quickly convened a high-level meeting.
In the Akainu office, a huge space of hundreds of meters, in addition to the desk of the Akainu and a file storage cabinet on the side of the wall, there is only a set of sofas in the huge space, the Akainu is an iron-blooded soldier, the office is very simple, and the important documents are placed, and there is no one to find any miscellaneous things.
In addition to the sofa for the usual rest of the Red Inu, the Akainu will also hold meetings directly in the office at ordinary times, for example, at this time, the Admiral Fuji Tiger and the Yellow Ape, the Grand Staff Officer of the Headquarters, Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Governor of the Headquarters, Karp, who is in charge of the naval recruit drill, and the Vice Admiral Mole, the Ghost Spider, and Dauberman of the Navy Headquarters.
It can be said that the highest combat power that the Navy Headquarters can muster is basically all here, and these people are the top brass of the Navy and represent the entire Navy.
Due to the urgency of the matter, the Navy Headquarters has just collected the news, and now they are the only admirals above the rank of vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters, of course, Sengoku and Karp have no military ranks, but the qualifications and strength of the two are there, even if they retire, they can still occupy a place in the upper echelons of the Navy.
General Staff Crane dragged his hands to support his chin and said: "The news about the Dark Island must be clear to everyone, but I didn't expect the Blackbeard Pirates to be defeated, and even blew themselves up and died in the end."
"The growth of the Straw Hat Pirates exceeded our expectations, especially after two years of immersion, they have all undergone earth-shaking changes, in just one year, they have successively defeated Doflamingo, made trouble in all countries, and destroyed the Hundred Beast Pirates in the country of Wano, the Fish-Man Island incident, and now the Battle of Dark Island, everything is shocking the whole world and changing the world situation."
After a pause, Crane turned his words, his eyes crapped to Karp, who was eating roasted senbei, and said, "Karp, shouldn't you say something about your grandson's growth to the point where he has been?"
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of everyone in the room invariably focused on Karp, and the room was silent, and Karp was a little embarrassed to continue eating when so many people watched.
Touching his head and laughing, "Hahaha... My grandson is good, he defeated that bastard Blackbeard, and he didn't disgrace me."
Seeing Karp answering indiscriminately here, Lieutenant General Crane showed a warm look on his face and said, "Karp, don't change the topic for me, you know I don't want to tell you this."
"Bring it to me!" Suddenly, Sengoku snatched the burnt fairy shell from Karp's hand, grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth, and then smiled and said to the crane: "Little crane, don't worry about this old guy, he is like this."
"Damn, Sengoku, you bastard?"
Seeing that the roasted fairy shell was robbed, Karp was furious, waved his hand and got up and grabbed at the Warring States, who blocked Karp with one hand, and quickly stuffed the bag of the burned fairy shells into Karp's mouth with the other.
Seeing that the two seventy-year-old guys in front of him were still playing like children of several years, Lieutenant General Crane sighed deeply, and was already very helpless about the two of them, and did not continue to ask the previous questions.
Lieutenant General He Zeng couldn't understand that the series of actions and words of the Warring States were actually just touching the serious atmosphere just now and helping the two of them play a round, and the last words meant to tell Tsuru not to talk about the topic just now.
Boom... Boom...
Akainu slammed his right fist twice on the table, signaling everyone to calm down, and the quarrelling Sengoku and Karp suddenly calmed down, Akainu is the current admiral after all, and they all have to give Akainu face.
Seeing that everyone stopped, Akainu said slowly: "Everyone, I won't say much about the battle of Dark Island, everyone should have a general understanding, the main purpose of this urgent meeting is to discuss the impact of the fall of the Blackbeard Pirates, the impact of the Straw Hat Pirates after they take power, and what our Navy Headquarters should do next."
Akainu's voice fell, and the room was silent, and everyone did not immediately take Akainu's words.
The mole was the first to speak: "A few days ago, the Blackbeard Pirates defeated the red-haired pirates and became the world's number one pirate group, many pirates are attached to the Blackbeard Pirates, the pirate world has undergone great changes, only the remaining four emperors and some overlords are independent, and the new world has attracted a short period of calm."
"Now that Blackbeard is gone, and the Straw Hat Pirates have not made a statement, the dead and deterred pirate world will probably begin to fall into a period of chaos again, especially those who were originally attached to the Blackbeard Pirates' banner will be besieged by the rest of the pirates."
After the mole finished speaking, Fujitora immediately expressed his opinion, "After the Blackbeard Pirates are destroyed, the huge territory occupied by Blackbeard will become ownerless, and according to the Straw Hat Pirates' code of conduct, they are not interested in such things as territory."
"But now it's different, there are still seven pirates under the Straw Hat Pirates, even if the Straw Hat Pirates don't need territory, they must take into account the opinions of their pirates, that is to say, the next seven pirates under the Straw Hats will fight again with the pirates who are left by Blackbeard."
Changing the previous child-like impropriety, Sengoku said with a serious face: "Once the Blackbeard Pirates are destroyed, the situation that was originally slightly stabilized will become even more chaotic, and the change in the position of the world's No. 1 Pirate Group is enough to make the situation in the entire pirate world change dramatically."
After taking over the conversation, Crane said with the same serious face: "The most important thing is that after the Blackbeard Pirates are destroyed, there are only three of the Four Emperors left, and now there are basically no pirates in the New World who can be competent for the Four Emperors, the Four Emperors, the Seven Martial Seas, and the Navy Headquarters maintain the balance of the Great Route, and now that the Four Emperors have collapsed, the remaining two major forces will definitely be affected, and once the balance is broken, the entire Great Voyage will fall into the flames of war."
"However, we must now maintain the balance of the great route," the yellow ape suddenly interjected, without warning, and made everyone stunned, knowing that in ordinary meetings, the yellow ape rarely speaks.
I only heard the yellow ape continue: "Everyone knows the orders given to us by the world's top leaders, and we must maintain the stability of the great shipping route, especially at this time."
The yellow ape's voice fell, and the conference room fell into an eerie calm, and everyone's faces not only became solemn, but of course they knew what the yellow ape said.
The revolutionary army occupies 80 percent of the territory of the four seas, the world government occupies the remaining 20 percent and the great shipping routes, and the two forces of the revolutionary army and the world government dominate the world.
As the foundation of the world government, the great sea route has the most abundant resources in the world, the most powerful countries and fighters, and is the foundation for the current world government to survive and even defeat the revolutionary army.
Therefore, Kenichi Ogata and the other three five old stars gave a death order to the Navy Headquarters, and they must maintain the stability of the Great Route, and must not let the pirate world riot and break the stability of the Great Route.
It's a pity that how difficult it is to achieve this goal, how many pirates the Great Voyage has, no one knows at all, because of the recent relationship between the Four Emperors War, coupled with the leakage of the news of the map to the final island of Ralphdrew, the entire pirate world is crazy, these days, in order to suppress those excited pirates, the Navy Headquarters has been dispatched with all the troops, otherwise there will not be only a few high-level officials above the vice admiral.
After thinking about it carefully, Tsuru said in a condensed voice, "If that's the case, I think we can use that plan."
The room was silent again, and there was a look of shock on everyone's faces, they didn't expect Lieutenant General Tsuru to say that plan at such a time.
"Do you really want to use it?" said Fujitora, with a hint of inquiry and reluctance in his tone, after all, the price paid for that plan was something Fujitora didn't want to see.
After thinking very seriously in his heart, Sengoku agreed with Tsuru's decision: "So far, there is no better way, it is a rare opportunity to annihilate a large number of pirates in one fell swoop!"
"I think we can do that, too," Lieutenant General Dauberman nodded.
Lieutenant General Mole and Lieutenant General Ghost Spider glanced at each other, and the two nodded in unison to express their opinions.
There were nine people in total, and now five people agreed, and neither Karp nor Yellow Ape spoke, Fujitora objected, and in the end, only Akainu was left sitting in the first place.
Akainu didn't say anything immediately, leaning back in his chair, Akainu fell into deep thought, if that order was given, then the navy would be the biggest challenge and crisis ever, but this was not an opportunity, a chance to change the whole world.
Time passed slowly, and after a minute, Akainu finally spoke: "Okay, according to Lieutenant General Tsuru's opinion, use that plan, but move the main target from the Blackbeard Pirates to the Straw Hat Pirates, and definitely not let them, who have the map, pass through Deshengti Island and go to Ralphdrew."
