Raymond never imagined that he would meet the final boss of the World Navy, Admiral Amon Merunez, who had been revealed in the game in such a way.

When he heard the words "chief instructor", he also understood the true identity of the third uncle. The old man in front of him, who is not good-looking, is also the chief instructor of the Navy Headquarters who stood at the top of the world's combat power decades ago, and one of the founders of the Navy Six!

However, looking at the look of the two when they met, it was obvious that the relationship was not harmonious.

Raymond was relieved as well.

At least, he, a little wanted criminal, won't be mixed doubles.

......

The third uncle raised his eyebrows, and seemed not to welcome the generalissimo too much, and his tone was very outward: "Why are you here?" ”

Merunez sat on the stool beside him, "Chief Instructor, don't come unharmed." ”

"Not good."

The third uncle plucked out his ears, "Hey, it's easy to get sleepy when you're old... If you have something to do, just say, it's okay, the old man is going to take a lunch break. ”

Obviously, before they could speak, the old man began to issue an eviction order.

Raymond was slightly stunned for a moment when he heard this, which could make the dignified marshal deflated, and this old man didn't give face at all. But what happened between the two that would make the old man so unwelcome?

"It doesn't seem to be very calm in the Grull Sea lately..."

Merunez clearly had something to say, and a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "It's not just the Grull Sea, but now the Endless Sea is not calm everywhere. Ever since the news of the 'One Piece Treasure' spread by that Capone guy, the whole world has been in a hurry. Many sea thieves who disappeared during the Delos period also appeared at sea, and there was a lot of trouble... Recently, there have been a lot of tricky pirate newcomers on the sea... The revolutionary army is also making a lot of noise in the West Sea... In short, our Navy Headquarters is very busy right now. ”

Third uncle: "Then you, the marshal of the navy, still have time to wander around in this remote sea?" ”

"No, I'll come and see the old instructor and bring you a message..."

Merunez smiled and said: "The Council of Veterans of the World General Government has decided to issue a world conscription order, and the headquarters will organize a large-scale clean-up operation against pirates and revolutionary troops in the future. No, a large number of conscripts, there is a shortage of excellent instructors like you, and those old guys from the General Mansion asked me to personally invite the chief instructor out of the mountain..."

The third uncle was unceremonious and said lazily: "Merunes, you go back." I'm an old bone who has long since reached retirement age, and the conscription order can't control my head..."

"The old instructor... We don't want to bother you either. However, I also acted on the orders of the General Assembly decision-making this time. The last time Helen refused a call for war, if I hadn't pressed her, she probably wouldn't have been stripped of her name. I think you should understand that..."

After a pause, a hint of sharpness flashed in Merunez's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Without the protection of the headquarters, I am afraid that this sea area of the pure Mao clan will be very troublesome." ”

"You don't have to worry about things here. You go back..."

The third uncle waved his hand, "Just tell those old guys that the old man's injuries in the Great War twenty years ago are not healed, and I am afraid that he will not be able to help much." ”

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and the small courtyard was quiet for a moment, and no one spoke.

The old man did not give face at all, and the face of the admiral was also a little gloomy.

Raymond was a little frightened when he heard it on the sidelines, afraid that the two guys would fight in the next moment.

Fortunately, the cold atmosphere of scraping bones came and went quickly.

Half an hour later,

"What a pity..."

The words were all said and done, and Merunez didn't say much, and spread his hands: "Chief instructor, the words have been brought, then I'll leave first." ”

Third uncle: "Don't send it." ”

The two parted unhappily.

The space door left, and Merunez and the vice admiral left the courtyard as if they had never been there, leaving no trace.

The jujube trees in the courtyard were rustled by the sea breeze, and under the shade of the trees, the old man's brows did not stretch for a long time.

"Whew... Finally gone. ”

As soon as the momentum of the rivalry in the small courtyard dissipated, Raymond breathed a sigh of relief. At first glance, he knew that the aura of resentment in Hayens would be useful to the Merunes boss. That kind of big man who exists, just disdains to crush an ant.

He digested the conversation between the two just now, and also grabbed some useful information, "'Great Purge'? Looks like there's been a big move in the Navy lately..."

Helen on the side naturally listened to all the words, especially those words that were obviously threatening, which also made the pure Mao clan elder look pale: "Hmph! You're welcome to Melunez, those guys... probably knew that there was something wrong with the Earth Demon Island, and now he came to threaten the third uncle again. ”

After a pause, she continued: "Aren't those insidious guys in the navy just afraid of our pure Mao clan and want to use those abyssal monsters to consume the top-level power of our clan. Now that the situation on Earth Demon Island is so bad, they probably want to use this to force the third uncle to comply..."

When Raymond heard this, he also had a few doubts in his heart.

Since this old man is the chief instructor of the navy, this person from the Twelve Sages camp, why does he have less favorability for himself without the "Heyence's Resentment" buff?

The position of chief instructor of the Navy Headquarters is already the position of the first and second in command of the core, even if he retires, he should have some real power. Why is the relationship with Admiral Merunez so stiff? Although the situation on Earth Demon Island is troublesome, it seems that now that as the third uncle's status as the "chief instructor" of the navy, if he really wants to solve the problem of Earth Demon Island, the world's government is as strong as a cloud, and he will definitely not be completely helpless.

It seems that those guys in the World Mansion must force him to apply, why is the old man unwilling to go...

On second thought, it didn't seem to hurt even if he responded to the call-up, right?

With the strength of this old man, even if he went to conscript the "Endless Eight Emperors", there was not necessarily any danger to him, why did he refuse to be recruited? Is it because of Capone's relationship?

Obviously, the old man's current camp relationship is very delicate, and I am afraid there are still a lot of hidden secrets in this.

At this moment, the third uncle sighed slightly, and said with a complicated expression: "Helen, will you blame the third uncle for not being conscripted by the war of the general government, which brought the disaster of extermination to the clansmen?" ”

Helen shook her head and said with a firm expression: "Third uncle, without you, our race would have been wiped out a long time ago. No matter what decision you make, we'll support you. ”

It is also true that the pure Mao clan does not have this Dinghai God Needle, where can they live in this sea area for so many years.

"Hey..."

The old man pondered for a moment, as if he had made a decision, and then he told a shocking secret, "Actually... The seal of the Earth Demon Island was secretly broken by someone. ”

"What?!"

Helen's face changed suddenly when she heard this, no wonder she felt that the timing and condition of the seal on the Earth Demon Island were a little bizarre, it turned out to be man-made!

"Damn, who is going to harm my pure Mao clan?"

She shouted angrily, but turned her face and wondered, "However, there have always been only our clansmen on that island, and the elders are also there, how can anyone sneak in and break the seal?" ”

Saying this, her face suddenly changed, could it be... Is there an inner ghost?

No way!

There will never be such a person among the pure Mao clan!

"Whew..."

The third uncle shook his head, did not answer directly, and said something that sounded inexplicable: "I won't respond, it's not that this old bone is greedy for life and afraid of death." It's just that I finally 'woke up' at the beginning, and now I do this because I don't want us pure Mao people to continue to be carried in that pit and not be able to jump out..."

As he spoke, the old man glanced at Raymond and said, "Since you are a descendant of Capone, you are naturally not an outsider. ”

After a pause, he asked, "Capone probably reminded you of something to keep you away from the world government, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Raymond knew that he was about to come into contact with a hidden history hidden beneath the light.

The third uncle nodded, then turned his face and asked Helen, "After I retired, the navy asked our pure Mao clan to respond to the conscription, and I didn't let the clansmen go under the pretext that there was something wrong with the Earth Demon Island. Later, due to pressure, you were asked to take on the title of 'King of the Seven Martial Seas', but you have not been allowed to join the World Navy, do you know why? ”

Helen shook her head, she had actually guessed that the third uncle's move had a deep meaning.

Third uncle: "The old man has lived for hundreds of years, and I am one of the few people in the world who has witnessed that period of history and is still alive." Of course, I didn't think there was anything wrong with that period of history... It wasn't until I reached this level of cultivation that I was qualified to question certain beings. This questioning only found that some of the beliefs that had been firmly believed in at the beginning had been 'deliberately distorted'..."

"I used to share the same belief in 'righteousness' in my heart. But twenty years ago, I had a fight with Delos, and that guy made me understand something. Looking back, I realized that I had done something that was completely contrary to justice..."

"The scary thing is... In the past two hundred years, I have not been aware of it at all, and I firmly believe that it is the 'righteousness' in my heart. ”

Speaking of this, the old man looked at Helen again and said, "I don't want you to join the World Navy, because I am afraid that you will lose your 'self' like I once did." The 'faith' of the Navy now seems to be very problematic, even a conspiracy at all..."

I see!

With that said, it seems that everything makes sense.

Raymond thought of what Boss Capone once told him, that the World Mansion has a plan to change people's perception of "devout believers"!

Suddenly, I also understood a little that the third uncle could refuse the conscription now, obviously because he "woke up", otherwise he would not refuse the navy that he had guarded for hundreds of years.

It can be said that the fact that the navy can now develop into the behemoth that spreads all over the endless sea has a lot to do with the fact that this old man has devoted himself to loyalty for hundreds of years!

Neither Raymond nor Helen spoke, quietly listening to a frightening fact slowly revealed by the third uncle.

"Although I still don't understand what is wrong with the top of the World Government, since I 'woke up', my former colleagues have become extremely hostile to me, as if I had turned my back on 'justice'. If it weren't for the fact that those guys couldn't suppress me by force, you probably wouldn't have had a chance to stand here and listen to me today. ”

"That Merunez, but I've ever been the most proud disciple!"

When the third uncle said this, he choked with some tears and sighed, "Did you see his appearance just now?" I'm afraid that if the World Mansion wants him to kill me, he will not hesitate to do it! ”

Helen remembered the arrogant face just now, and frowned: "At the beginning, it was the third uncle who single-handedly promoted him to the position of marshal." Hmph, ungrateful fellow! ”

"It's not all his fault."

The third uncle shook his head: "The reason why I'm so sure... Because I was, like him, unwavering in the righteousness of my conviction in my heart. Originally... I almost killed Capone without hesitation. ”

"What?"

Raymond was startled. He knew that this old man had a big battle with "One Piece" Delos, could it be that it was the battle of the One Piece fleet that attacked the Navy headquarters more than twenty years ago?

Third Uncle: "A hundred years ago, Capone and his brother helped my Pure Mao Clan solve a deadly crisis on the Earth Demon Island, and even Capone's brother paid with his life. But in that battle 20 years ago, I still shot mercilessly. If it hadn't been for that guy Delos who woke me up, I'm afraid Capone would have died at my hands back then..."

Raymond also quite understood.

It turns out that when the One Piece fleet was destroyed, Capone was able to not die back then, it seems that this old man released the water?

"Hehe... Now that I think about it, it's scary. I was going to kill the benefactor of a tribe with my own hands, and I didn't feel any fault at all. ”

The corners of the third uncle's mouth overflowed with a touch of bitterness, and the impact of the collapse of faith had not calmed his mood so far.

"And in the last one or two hundred years, I've done so many things for the Navy... exterminate a people in order to cover up some secrets; For some secret plan, countless innocent human beings have been implicated... Now it seems that those beings who once believed in 'evil' do not seem to be guilty of great evil, except that they are on the opposite side of the world government. ”

"Just like the fleet of Delos once was! At that time, if they hadn't reached the top of 'One Piece', the sea wouldn't have known how turbulent it would be. Their crimes, except for the hostile world government, now seem to be mostly ridiculous excuses..."

Raymond wasn't too surprised by this.

Judging from the things revealed in the game, the world government is glamorous on the surface, but it does do a lot of dirty things behind the scenes, whether it is CP9 or any virus transmission plan, it is definitely not 'justice'...

"Over the past twenty years, they've called me more than once to... Is it really as simple as being an instructor? ”

The third uncle shook his head, with a dilemma on his face,

"This time, the seal of the Earth Demon Island was broken, and I also found out that someone was secretly making trouble. They knew I couldn't let go of the group, so they wanted to force me to comply. If I don't go this time, those abyssal creatures will be able to consume our clan sooner or later. But if I go... I'm afraid that the entire pure Mao clan will fall into that kind of situation of being manipulated and ignorant for generations. ”

Decades ago, the Pure Mao clan has always had high-ranking officers at the rank of admiral in the navy! The Pure Mao Clan is a family of gods, and their talent is strong enough to make the world government jealous, and if this power is not held in their hands, it will be destroyed.

This is the source of evil.

I see

Both Helen and Raymond understood why the old man would do everything possible to shirk the naval call-up.

It's a dead end.

Raymond also guessed that the old man had probably made some kind of decision to explain these secrets to them now.
