Location: Conference room at Navy Headquarters. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn because of the intruder. The low air pressure generated in that moment made even some strong men who were vice admirals feel like they couldn't breathe.
And the person who was staring at him subconsciously swallowed his saliva before reporting.
"Tell me, something. Sengoku retracted his eyebrows, even his heart was full of uneasiness, but at such a time, he could not behave in any way as a marshal. Especially before the advent of the Great War, as the highest decision-maker on the naval side, his every move will affect the morale of the military.
Facts have proved that Sengoku's acting skills are very successful, whether it is the calm and stable appearance, or the determination and confidence in the tone, the air in the conference room is clear.
"Yes!" The major general who came to report also looked a lot more relaxed, and after saluting a military salute, he began to report loudly, "Report to the Marshal of the Warring States! Because of the incident in the Chambord Islands, the nobles of the world have sent a reprimand, and now the person who came has arrived at the headquarters base ......"
"Damn! these ......" Sengoku glared, but opened his mouth, still holding back the urge to scold, but he was still angry and hammered off the table.
"Also, the world nobleman Rozward Saint ......" The major general, who was taken aback, suddenly weakened his voice.
"Let Yellow Ape deal with this kind of thing! Let him not use his injuries as an excuse! In addition, except for the things related to Whitebeard now, don't bother me with other things!" Sengoku waved his hand irritably, now he really didn't want to listen to those about the world's nobles. Especially combined with this act of directly breaking into the conference room, it made Sengoku suddenly feel like he had eaten a fly with one mouth.
"So, is there anything else?" Sengoku asked again, but his tone became a little unkind. He had already made a plan in his heart that he would definitely carry out a good purge of the navy after the war.
"Uh...... Report to the Marshal of the Warring States!" The poor major general hurriedly replied loudly, "I have also received a report from the Lieutenant General of the Ghost Spider that the empress 'Boya Hancock has been persuaded to return, and at this time, the six people of the Seven Martial Seas except Blackbeard have all arrived at Marin Fando!"
"Oh, that's good news...... Sengoku's body subconsciously sat up straighter, and the previous unhappiness was slightly reduced because of this. At the same time, there was a whisper in the conference room, which sounded quite excited.
However, it is no wonder that their mood has changed, at this moment when the big battle is approaching, every bit of combat power is precious enough, not to mention those people from the Seven Martial Seas. Although they also knew that these people would not go all out for the sake of the navy, their combat effectiveness was there, even if they were paddling, the waves stirred up were bigger than ordinary people.
With everyone a little worried, this is really good news. Even if he hinted in his heart that he wanted to be a stable Warring States, he couldn't help but be happy.
Juhokiel Mihawk, Bartholomew Bear, Don Quixote Doflamingo, Moonlight Moria, Boya Hancock...... And, Anilu ...... "Sengoku crossed his hands and dragged his chin, forcibly suppressed his mood fluctuations, and asked, "So, is there Blackbeard's whereabouts?"
Marshall D. Titch is still unreachable, seemingly deliberately avoiding the Navy's tracking. However, according to the news that came out, his ship seems to have been seen in the waters near Impelton!"
"Oops, such a big prison......" Sengoku was suddenly startled, and the uneasiness that had been suppressed in his heart before came out again, and even more than before, making his eyelids beat non-stop.
Just when Sengoku was frightened by his own speculation, another rush of footsteps came. And unlike before, this time the footsteps were more panicked than in the hurry.
"No, Marshal Sengoku!" the hoarse cry came in before the people arrived. At the same time, it also made the Warring States, who had just improved their mood, couldn't help but sink their hearts.
"There's a battle report from ahead!I found that Whitebeard has made a move!" the man rushed in, and he didn't have time to salute before he reported loudly.
"What?!, are you finally starting to act?" Sengoku was shocked, followed by a joy. What is known is never more frightening than what the enemy is not knowing.
"Specifics...... No, just take the report of the surveillance ship in, and I'll ask in person!" Pointing to the phone bug on the table, a trace of fierceness and determination flashed in Sengoku's eyes.
"No...... The ......," the visitor took a few sharp breaths before he said in a rather heavy tone, "the twenty-three naval warships scattered in the waters around Marinfando to monitor the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates...... Just ...... In less than ten minutes, all of them lost contact!"
"What?!!How could it be ......" Sengoku stood up suddenly, his face full of horror. I didn't expect that after being silent for so long, Whitebeard was so swift once he started to move, he was really caught off guard!
"Not only that, but the other pirates in the New World seem to be on the move...... In this way, it is completely impossible to grasp and speculate on the size ......of their ship, when they will arrive, from which route, and so on!
The person who came looked up nervously, even if this series of news came out of his mouth, it made his soul tremble, which belonged to human instinct, the fear of a strong enemy.
"Damn!Did the 'redhead' also want to intervene in this war? How dare he ......" In anger, the table in front of Sengoku was immediately smashed and shattered by a slap.
"Bastard...... It's been calculated! I'm already completely passive, I don't know where I'm going to attack, I don't know when I'm going to attack, and I can't target the attack at all......."
Taking a deep breath, Sengoku made a difficult decision as if it had gone through a battle between heaven and man.
"The order goes down...... The defensive ring was immediately tightened, and all the defensive arrangements were concentrated in the bay, and the large prison was temporarily abandoned...... In addition, let's spread the word to the outside world, the execution time is ...... earlier" Sitting back in his seat a little weakly, the Sengoku Governor sighed, "Akainu, the matter of escorting Ace is handed over to you, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes and omissions in the matter of execution!"
"Hmph, a wise decision. With a sneer, Akainu suddenly got up and strode away. And his movements, like starting pistols, suddenly attracted a lot of chaos.
And looking at the vice admirals who acted quickly, Marshal Sengoku couldn't help but sigh again. This time the big incident has completely exceeded his expectations, and he doesn't know if the navy will be able to survive it......
