The mood of the Warring States is very complicated.

Looking at the sail shadows of Whitebeard and the others disappearing in the sea, the naval marshal, who had always been in good spirits, suddenly seemed to be ten years old, and his eyes were completely devoid of brilliance.

And Akainu's face was extremely ugly, and there was nowhere to vent anger all over his body.

This anger unconsciously manifested into flowing magma, and endless heat poured out, scorching the glaciers within tens of meters around him and rapidly melting.

In the midst of the fire and mist, Akaiu turned his head uncontrollably and cast a look of implied anger at Galen.

"Huh?"

Galen was looked at a little uncomfortable: "Admiral Akainu, why are you staring at me like this?" ”

There was silence again.

After a long time, Akainu finally held back a sentence with a blue face:

"Nothing."

Although the answer was "nothing", the tone of gnashing teeth when Akainu spoke was as uncomfortable as if Galen owed him five million and did not pay it back.

With that, Akaiu ignored Galen and turned to leave alone.

"What do you mean..."

Looking at the back of the red dog in the distance, Galen muttered two sentences inexplicably:

"What does it have to do with me if I lose a war?"

Hearing Galen's words, the Warring States on the side couldn't help but cast complicated eyes on Galen's body:

Lost?

Judging by the outcome of the war: Titch was rescued, some of the prisoners of the Advance City escaped, and the Whitebeard Pirates were unscathed...

The Navy did lose, and it lost completely.

However, they did not lose the battle:

As soon as Whitebeard made a move, the heavens and the earth shook, the air and the sea churned, and he was extremely good at using fewer enemies to many, so that the siege of the top naval powerhouses such as Sengoku, Karp, and Akainu could not be advanced.

However, the focus of the "siege" is not on the "attack", but on the "siege".

Whitebeard is already old after all, and the three major generals of the navy's core combat power are still in their prime.

If that battle could go on forever, Sengoku would be nine percent sure that the legend of Whitebeard would come to an end.

But...

This great opportunity was all destroyed by the sudden poisonous fog.

The warring parties were still in the warm-up stage, and the war ended inexplicably.

Thinking of this, Sengoku couldn't help but feel a little more resentful in his eyes when he looked at Galen, and his face gradually changed to the same style as the red dog.

Galen felt the resentment implied in his eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly:

"Sengoku seniors, did I do something wrong?"

"Wrong?"

Warring States' face froze, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart:

Galen came here to suppress the rebellion before the navy arrived, and he desperately guarded the gates of the advancing city, contributing to the peace of the sea from beginning to end.

If it weren't for him blocking the enemy's way, I'm afraid this war would not have had a chance to start.

What is done is good, so what's wrong?

"Galen, you're doing well!"

Sengoku barely squeezed out a kind smile, and sighed again:

"If you hadn't arrived early with Kuzan this time, I'm afraid the prisoners in the city would have run away a long time ago."

"If all the heinous criminals are allowed to escape, then this sea will be..."

Saying that, the Warring States period was even more conscious:

If a Seven Martial Seas can do this for the sake of a just cause, why should the Navy accuse him of unintentional mistakes again?

"That's it!"

Warring States sighed, and a little firmness condensed between his eyebrows:

"It was my decision to start this war."

"The responsibility for the defeat should naturally be borne by me, the marshal."

He did not say this to Galen, but to himself:

The defeat of this war, although it did not cause any actual loss to the combat strength of the navy, had extremely bad political effects.

The Navy Headquarters not only did not break the myth of Whitebeard's invincibility, but instead discredited its own prestige and made the world government lose face.

Predictably:

In the next few years, the arrogance of the pirates will definitely become more arrogant, and the challenges for the world government will become more severe.

With such serious consequences, it is natural to find someone to take the blame and take responsibility.

Therefore, Sengoku knew very well in his heart:

I'm afraid that this already old admiral will not be long in coming.

And just as Sengoku was pondering, the phone bug on Galen's body next to him suddenly rang.

"Hello?"

Galen picked up the microphone and habitually asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Galen!"

Nami's somewhat anxious voice came out of the microphone: "We're in trouble!" ”

"Trouble?"

Galen's expression immediately became serious, and a deep worry appeared between his eyebrows.

At the same time, Galen was also a little surprised:

For when Galen was drafted by the Navy, he was a full month away from the original date of public execution.

Nami, Vivi, and Robin couldn't afford to come to the Navy headquarters, so after spending a few days in the Chambord Islands, they took the airboat and set out on the return trip.

Galen and Nami talk to each other on the phone every day to report their safety, knowing that they are all safe and sound, and they will soon arrive in the airspace of Alabastan.

And Nami and the others have been flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so how can they be in trouble?

Galen frowned slightly, and immediately asked in a deep voice:

"Nami, did you get into a plane crash?"

"No, there is no problem with the airship."

In Nami's slightly anxious voice, there was a little more irrepressible excitement:

"It's because on our way home, we stumbled upon the empty island you mentioned."

"Sky Island?"

Galen's heart sank, and his hand holding the microphone tightened a little:

"You can't have run into that middle two long-eared boy who can discharge, right?"

"yes!"

Nami nodded on the microphone, and said angrily:

"Not long after we landed on Sky Island, we were inexplicably attacked by the guy named Anilu with lightning."

"What?"

"That guy attacked you?"

Galen's worry became more and more serious, and he immediately asked impatiently:

"How are you doing? Has anyone been hurt? ”

"Don't worry, we're all fine."

As if sensing Galen's overly worried mood, Nami immediately soothed her tone:

"Anilu, we've been repulsed for the time being."

"Huh?"

Galen was slightly stunned, and asked in some surprise:

"How many of you... Can you repel Anilu? ”

Although I know that Anilu is indeed very watery, even Luffy, who has just debuted, can't beat it...

But with the thunder fruit, he won't be repelled by the three girls, right?

"Galen, yes, I fought him off."

The microphone was replaced by Weiwei's shyness, and there was a faint shyness and excitement in her voice:

"That guy's lightning can't cut through my sand at all, so there's nothing he can do with us."

"He slashed a burst of thunder and lightning, and then ran away in a huff."

"I see."

Galen nodded, figuring out why:

Vivi ate the Rustle Fruit and is now also a powerful natural ability.

In addition, Wei Wei herself is not a powerless princess, so she can quickly transform the sand fruit into considerable combat power.

"That's fine."

Galen's mood was much lighter, and he instructed Vivi:

"Since you're all safe now, let's get out of the empty island first."

"When I get there..."

A hint of coldness flashed in Galen's eyes: "I will help you teach him a good lesson." ”

"This..."

Vivi's tone became a little embarrassed:

"Anilu, he can't do anything about my sand, but I can't defeat this lightning-turning enemy."

"Besides, that guy snatched our airboat before he left..."

"Before snatching it, he was still saying strange things like 'even mortals dare to learn from me to build an ark', 'This is the authority that only gods can hold'."

“.......”

Hearing the two sentences relayed by Vivi, Galen suddenly had an intuitive understanding of the spiritual outlook of Anilu, the "god" of the Sky Island.

"Galen, you can rest assured!"

Nami picked up the phone bug's microphone again and said to Galen:

"That so-called 'god' can't do anything about us at all."

"We'll stay on this empty island for a few days while you come over and help deal with him."

"And..."

Nami's voice became excited again:

"This empty island is really as you said, there are mountains of golden treasures!"

"It's not just gold and treasure, but the text of history you said has also been found by Robin!"

"That's... So be it. ”

Galen said in a very serious tone:

"Protect yourself, I'll get over as soon as possible."

With that, Galen exchanged a few more words with Nami and hung up the phone.

After hanging up...

Galen finally noticed the strange look of the Warring States Marshal beside him.

"Robin?"

"Historical text?"

Sengoku looked at Galen with a sudden increase in his gaze.

"Uh..."

Galen's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Because Nami was "in trouble" as soon as she opened her mouth, he was so concerned that he forgot that he was now standing by the side of the Admiral.

And the "speaker" of the phone bug can't be switched to handset mode.

Seeing Galen's reaction, Sengoku immediately asked in a heavier tone:

"Galen, you're protecting that son of the devil?!"

“......”

Galen was silent for a moment, but the embarrassment on his face was all converted into indifference:

"yes."

His tone was as usual, as if he was saying something that should be said:

"Marshal of the Warring States."

"My justice is different from the Navy, and Nicole Robin is not a 'son of the devil' in my eyes."

"You!"

Sengoku was suddenly choked by Galen and speechless.

After a moment of stalemate, Sengoku asked Galen in a deep and angry voice:

"Galen!"

"Are you protecting that woman because you want to be an enemy of the world government!"

Galen's face still did not change, but replied in a flat voice:

"What I do, I ask myself to be worthy of my heart."

"As for... Enemies of the world government? ”

Galen chuckled lightly:

"Sengoku seniors?"

"You don't want to force me to be a pirate because of such a trivial matter, do you?"

“......”

Sengoku's face suddenly turned a little pale:

He remembered the golden-bodied giant Buddha that blasted open the sea before, and the poisonous giant soldier who forced both the navy and the whitebeard to flee...

These abilities, Galen can only temporarily borrow for three minutes.

But...

Others don't know!

After this battle, Galen is already an absolute powerhouse who can easily compete with the navy and is as powerful as Whitebeard.

And the plural fruit ability he showed made the Warring States feel extremely frightened.

Such a character is no longer a small role that the Navy can suppress.

Sengoku was silent, but Galen laughed again "with an innocent face":

"Warring States seniors, I just want to be a Seven Martial Seas who uphold justice."

"If you're going to force me to be a pirate..."

"Don't regret it then."

Sengoku's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

And then...

Warring States thought about it:

How long he can remain a marshal is a question.

And no matter how "ill-intentioned" Galen is, there is no harm to ordinary people on the sea.

Then why does he, a retired old man, do his best to wipe the ass of the world government like before?

"Ugh..."

Sengoku sighed lightly and turned away in a muttering voice:

"When I'm older, my memory is not good."

"What was I talking about?"
