Chapter 460: The Big Picture Has Been Decided
Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.
The preparations for the World Government began at the time of the Alliance's formation, and the full forces of the Navy, CP0, and the Scientific Combat Forces were gathered here.
Around Luffy, the Navy, League of Legends, Whitebeard Pirates, Shanks Pirates, and all the existing big forces on the sea were drawn into the whirlpool of war.
It's no exaggeration to say that Luffy's current card is bigger than the original One Piece.
He hadn't even walked the starting point of One Piece, but he came to the end of One Piece in one step.
And after learning the lesson of the last time Blackbeard Titch was kidnapped, this time the world government did not imprison the felony Luffy in Advance City, but placed him in the nearest naval headquarters, under the watchful eyes of a group of naval and government agents.
The Navy Headquarters is mainly a place for the elite of the Navy to live, train and work, and although it is also equipped with a temporary prison, it is not large.
After Luffy, who was comparable to One Piece, moved in, the prison was completely emptied and was exclusively enjoyed by Luffy.
"Luffy..."
Karp stood outside the prison with a complicated expression.
He had come to see his grandson.
He was accompanied by his old friend Sengoku.
After stepping down as the marshal of the navy, Sengoku held the important position of chief inspector of the navy.
The so-called big inspector, the usual work content is mainly in the word "supervision":
First, it is necessary to supervise the trend of public opinion in real time through the news media and grasp the latest changes in the situation.
Second, it is necessary to supervise the food supply of the Navy's logistics department through the quality of tea, senbei, and doughnuts, so as to ensure that the officers and men of the Navy can eat and drink well and be full of energy, thus demonstrating the Navy's people-oriented unit culture.
"Karp."
Although he is now a person who has the same heart for the universe as the yellow ape, Sengoku still took the initiative to persuade out of strong feelings for the navy and worries about his old friends:
"Be calm."
"I know it's your grandson, but..."
"I understand."
Karp's face could no longer find the smile of the old urchin, and every wrinkle was soaked with solemnity and pain:
"I'm still in the Navy after all..."
In the end, he resisted his inner impulse and stepped into the prison where his own grandson was held with Sengoku.
"Wait."
The CP0 agent in charge of the guard followed closely:
"Both, please be accompanied by our CP0 to visit the prison."
"Accompanied?"
Karp's brow furrowed even tighter.
He could understand that it meant to be watched with him.
"I'm sorry."
Agent CP0 read the displeasure on Karp's face, but did not give the Navy hero any face:
"It's the rule."
"After all, you're the grandfather of the prisoner inside, and you've been in the Navy lately..."
Needless to say, Karp and Sengoku can also understand the meaning of this agent's words:
Recently, in the navy, a major general has just mutinied.
Even a general can defect, and who else can't?
What's more, Karp is also the father of the bandit leader Dorag, and the suspicion of defection is greater than that of Akainu, who has repeatedly made reactionary remarks.
"Got it!"
Karp snorted coldly in displeasure, and even the Warring States beside him felt a little uncomfortable.
They are all old navies, and they have long known that the world government does not regard their navy as its own, and they have long been accustomed to the mean and unkind face of the world government.
But somehow, in the current situation, the dissatisfaction that Karp and Sengoku had suppressed all their lives suddenly broke out, and there was a faint trend that could not be suppressed.
In the end, though, they didn't do anything wrong.
Accompanied by CP0 agents, Karp and Sengoku make their way through the eerie and cold corridors and meet Luffy in the airtight underground cell.
Luffy: He...
It's been unrecognizable.
"Luffy!"
Looking at Luffy, whose appearance has changed drastically, Karp is in tears.
Luffy can't exercise with the Hailou Stone on his hand, and because of Marshal Kuzan's secret care, he eats and drinks well every day, plus he doesn't lose the amount of food that the sea kings eat...
Karp was frightened by his big fat grandson.
"Grandpa!"
Luffy smiled optimistically, as if he didn't know what he was being locked up here for.
Seeing such a naΓ―ve and optimistic Luffy, Karp didn't know what to say:
Luffy has no sin of his own, but he is going to be guillotined by the World Government.
This is not for justice in any case, but for the sake of profit, for the benefit of the world's aristocracy.
From a naval point of view, Karp has nothing to say.
And from the point of view of a grandfather...
What Karp wants to do most is naturally to smash the cell in front of him, tear the shackles on Luffy's body, and rescue his own grandson from the sea of suffering!
However, Karp just couldn't help but take a slight step forward, and the CP0 agents who followed him stopped him like a thief:
"Lieutenant General Karp."
"Please cooperate with us and don't get too close to the prisoners."
"You guys!"
The Warring States next to him finally couldn't stand it:
"Isn't it a little too much?"
"Karp and I have been in the Navy all our lives, will we still come to rob prisons?"
The CP0 agents did not speak, but put on a businesslike appearance, putting their indifference and ruthlessness to the bottom.
CP0 is a close minister of the Tianlong people, and he didn't have to give him too much face when he was a marshal in the Warring States, not to mention that the Warring States is still just a big inspector who drinks tea and reads the newspaper.
β......β
There was silence, and the atmosphere became tense.
Eventually, in this terrible atmosphere, the visit was over.
Karp restrained his impulses with his deep affection for the navy, but Sengoku was still able to feel the entanglement and pain in the hearts of his old friends.
By the time they got out of prison, the feelings of the two old navies had become extremely complicated.
Their deep emotional loyalty to the Navy was greatly shocked and faintly shaken in the face of the cruel and absurd reality.
This feeling of complete collapse of faith did not diminish until the two walked all the way back to the office, but gradually heated up and fermented over time.
And at this time...
A man seems to have been waiting for a long time, and found Karp and Sengoku when they had just finished visiting the prison and were at their most turbulent:
"Lieutenant General Karp, Sengoku Inspector."
"General Fujitora?"
"How did you get here?"
Both Karp and Sengoku are surprised by Fujitora, who suddenly appears in his office.
They are all idlers in the navy, and the only people who usually come to this office are some old friends who come over to drink tea and chat and eat donuts, and it is rare for a busy person like Admiral Fujitora to appear.
Moreover, they did not have much friendship with Fuji Hu, who had just joined the navy.
However, Karp and Sengoku also have an understanding of Fujitora's decent style and appreciate this admiral who truly represents justice.
"I don't hesitate to ask you both."
Fuji Tiger straightened his face.
He was not good at knocking on the side, so he said straight to the point:
"Do you think this war makes sense?"
"Is it really the word 'justice' behind us that our navy is guarding in this war?"
"You?"
Karp and Sengoku were both slightly stunned.
What Fujitora said is undoubtedly a reactionary statement that is not good for the world government.
If it was the Warring States who was the marshal of the Navy before, he would definitely slap the table with a cold face and make Fujitora stop quickly.
But now, Sengoku has just accompanied Karp to see his innocent grandson of the condemned prisoner, and because those CP0 agents are angry, how can they be in the mood to help the world government control any reactionary speech.
Not to mention Karp...
He was originally a 10,000-year-old lieutenant general because he hated the world government, and after seeing his grandson Luffy's "tragic situation", he didn't directly swing his fist and rob the prison was enough to give face to the world government.
Neither of them meant to accuse Fujitora, but was just shocked by Fujitora's remarks.
"Laugh."
Sengoku is a rare talent with balanced development of muscles and IQ, so he can naturally hear the deep meaning of Fujitora's words.
His head was running quickly, and he immediately helped Fuji Tiger skip the lengthy brainwashing and persuasion session, and revealed Fuji Tiger's fundamental intention:
"You're telling us this, are you..."
"Do you want us to emulate the yellow ape?"
"That's right."
Fuji Tiger readily admitted this, and went further:
"The officers and men of the navy are all righteous people, and they really shouldn't be compromised in this kind of unjust war."
"The two are highly respected and senior, and they have extraordinary appeal in the navy."
"If you are willing to stand up, we can avoid this pointless war."
"I see..."
Hearing Fuji Hu's clear statement, Sengoku Takeichi thought of Fuji Tiger's previous relationship with Galen, and couldn't help but feel a little more shocked in his heart:
"You were originally from Galen?"
"The name of the wise general of the Warring States Inspector is indeed true."
Fuji Tiger unabashedly recognized his undercover identity.
"Galen, this guy..."
Hearing Fuji Hu's admission, Sengoku couldn't help but sigh deeply:
"Since then, he has been thinking about dismantling the world government from within?"
"With a naval admiral taking the lead, if our two old men enter the game again, there is indeed a possibility of directly ending this war."
As soon as Fuji Tiger heard that Sengoku not only did not stop himself as an undercover German bandit, but also analyzed the feasibility of action in a decent manner, he knew in his heart that this matter was basically done.
"Sengoku Inspector... That? β
Fujitora asked symbolically.
Karp didn't speak, but his eyes were full of interest.
"We did it!"
Sengoku glanced at Karp, whose eyes were full of shakenness, and simply helped his old friend directly express his heart.
Karp still didn't say a word, but everyone understood that he was acquiescing to Sengoku's statement.
The two old navies, who had compromised with the world government for the sake of justice, finally showed their fists to the world government in a clear manner.
"Good!"
A familiar voice sounded outside the door.
Sengoku and Karp were just immersed in complex psychological changes, and they didn't even notice that there was an extra person outside the office.
And this voice made the Warring States, who have always been calm and calm, shocked:
"Kuzan?"
Although Kuzan was originally a loyal follower of Karp and Sengoku, he is now a real admiral.
The ass decides the head, how many bastards did he did when he was a marshal before, how can Sengoku not know?
However, what Admiral Kuzan said was this:
"Sengoku seniors, Karp seniors."
"Let's end this war together!"
β......β
The atmosphere suddenly became a little eerie.
"Y-You too?"
Sengoku and Karp were stunned.
Kuzan nodded without hesitation.
β......β
Admirals, Inspectors, Admirals, Heroes of the Navy...
The four were relatively silent.
After a long time, the Warring States sighed:
"The big picture has been decided!"
