Chapter 35 Cranes

"Justice will prevail." As the shouts in the conference room fell, this meeting was also the last meeting, and finally came to an end.

……

"Did Cap go to boot camp again?" With the departure of Sora and the others, only Sengoku and Tsurusawa were left in the conference room.

"Yes, you know Kapta......" Tsuru sighed helplessly.

Whether as a Navy colleague or a friend, Tsuru didn't want to see Karp become like this, but Tsuru also knew that the loss of his grandson was too big a blow for Karp, not to mention that he wanted him to do something to his only remaining grandson.

"I'll try to persuade him." Sengoku also understands that this matter is too cruel for Karp, but as a navy, no matter what, we can't let the sea fall into chaos again, the balance of the four emperors has been broken, if the world knows that there is still the bloodline of One Piece alive in the world, it will definitely set off a new wave of pirates and pirates, and the navy's efforts over the past few decades will be in vain.

"Karp, this guy, have you forgotten that he's still a soldier?" Zefa said with some dissatisfaction, Zefa's family also died in the hands of the pirates, he can understand Karp's pain better than Sengoku and Tsuru, but, too, Zefa doesn't want to see Karp like this, and he doesn't want his friends to fall like this.

"I'll leave Karp's business to you, as a friend, you don't want to see Karp like this!" Tsuru clasped his hands together and said that it was better to leave this matter to their men to solve, and Tsuru didn't believe that Karp would continue like this. "But, Sengoku, are you really ready to do this? Even if it's a bet on the entire Navy. ”

"Ah He, I don't have a choice." Looking at the eyes of Tsuru and Zefa, Sengoku said with some bitterness.

Only since he became the marshal of the navy, the strength of the navy has been continuously strengthened, and the pirates can be completely suppressed, but when the scale of the navy continues to expand, the five old stars continue to reduce the military spending of the navy in disguise and suppress the growth of the navy.

Even at the important juncture when the three legendary pirates were gone, they secretly supported the pirate forces.

In the end, the balance of the Four Emperors, the Seven Martial Seas, and the Navy Headquarters was formed.

Originally, I always thought that the five old stars were just worried that the strength of the navy was too large to control, when seven CP0 cadres appeared.

Only then did the Warring States thoroughly understand that the reason why the five old stars suppressed the growth of the navy was not at all because they were worried about the expansion of the navy's strength and it was difficult to control, but to ensure the balance between the navy and the pirates.

The calm sea is far less conducive to their rule than the chaotic sea, and only by using the pirates can they tell these civilians who is protecting them, and only by using the suffering brought by the pirates to cover up the pain that these high-ranking world nobles give to the commoners, after all, the people are always ignorant, and they are more willing to blame their suffering on those who have personally hurt them than the source of their suffering.

Especially when I experienced the strength of these CP0s, the Warring States completely understood.

The navy that he is indispensable for, and the justice he insists on is just a joke in the eyes of the five old stars.

If they wish, they can even re-build a new navy at any time. Keep the current navy, maybe it's just that the current navy is quite obedient! After all, even now, two-fifths of the people in the Navy belong to the faction close to the world government, and the proportion is still rising.

"Yes." When Tsuru heard Sengoku's words, he stopped talking, and as the chief of staff of the Navy, her wisdom can be said to be even more terrifying than Sengoku.

Tsuru also knows that the reason why the world government made a move this time is not that the strength of the pirates is too huge, but that the golden lion has touched the bottom line of the world government, and the world government can allow a dead One Piece, and will definitely not tolerate the birth of another living One Piece, or it can be said that the world government does not allow a second person to know the secret of Ralphtel.

The current power of the Golden Lion is too huge, and it is very likely to find a way to enter Raftel, and the Golden Lion, as the ability of the Piao Fruit, even the World Government has no way to easily find the Golden Lion randomly floating in the air at a height of 10,000 meters, and this time the Whitebeard Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates are the best opportunity for the World Government to kill the Golden Lion, not to mention the existence of a Sebas Tien who killed the Draconian.

Tsuru also understands how much effort the Warring States have put into the Navy over the years, but in the end it will be like this, and it is no wonder that the Warring States will be so desperate and gamble on the entire Navy.

……

"Okay, Sengoku, the things have been shipped back, I'll deal with it first, and Karp will get rid of you two." Tsuru broke the silence and walked out slowly.

Looking at the back of the crane leaving, Sengoku had some intention of giving up the plan, after all, this time it was not only his own life, but also the lives of 100,000 navy.

"Sengoku, let's go!" Zefa stood up and patted Sengoku on the shoulder. "Now let's go to that old guy Karp, I've got to punch him in the face, or I won't have this chance."

"Let's go. I'm going to give him a good beating up to make him understand how much trouble he's been causing me all these years. Sengoku knew that Zefa was supporting him, and immediately smiled.

"Hahaha, that's right, it's long overdue to clean up that old ghost." Zefa patted Sengoku on the back hard.

……

On a certain shore in Marinfando, three figures watched the setting sun, and there were large and small wine bottles scattered around them.

It's hard to imagine that these three men, covered in mud and bruises, could be the top figures of the Navy.

"Karp, you guy, you're really ruthless!" Zefa lifted a bottle of wine and put it in his mouth, and Zefa felt a slight pain when the alcohol touched the wound at the corner of his mouth.

"Whoever called you, old fellow, didn't say a word, and came up and greeted me in the eye." Karp had two black eyes, and said a little depressedly that he was staying well in the new army field, but Zefa and Sengoku didn't say hello when they saw him, and they came up and beat themselves to the ground.

"Warring States, you guy is still as insidious as ever!" Karp watched Sengoku just pour the drink into his mouth, and slapped Sengoku on the back fiercely.

"Ahem." The Warring States were unguarded, and choked on the wine directly. "Karp, you're embarrassed to say, who the hell is shameless."

"You don't want to see if you're the cleanest of the three of us." Karp didn't care about digging his nostrils, and then smeared it on Sengoku's clothes.

"Karp, or you will retire first and become the chief instructor of the recruits like Zefa!" Sengoku didn't care about Karp's movements, and after taking a sip of wine, he said slowly.

"Who's going to be like this old guy." Karp squinted at Zefa. "I'm not old enough to move."

"Karp, you guy, do you want to fight?" After hearing Karp's words, Zefa directly broke the wine bottle in his hand.

"Come on, who is afraid of you! If it weren't for the Warring States to sneak up on me with you, I would have let you press you to the floor and rub it with one hand, believe it or not. Karp said dismissively.

"I don't know who has been hiding in the recruit pile all day like a lost soul these days, I don't know if I think you're an instructor." Zefa took a look at the Warring States, which didn't matter, and still gave up his plan to fight Karp, after all, he had never won against Karp.

Hearing Zefa's words, the scene instantly fell silent, and Zefa also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he was about to speak.

Karp picked up a bottle of wine and talked to himself. "I've always taught that bastard kid to be a navy, and if he was a navy, it wouldn't be like this. I don't know that I died in that corner of the sea, I can't collect his body, I still remember when he was told by Shanks's little ghost that he wanted to be the king of the pirates, but I was so angry that I hung him up and beat him for three days, but he just refused to change his words, and I was almost angry and went directly to Shanks that little ghost to fight. After a few sips of wine, Karp burst into tears.

Sengoku and Zefa listened quietly while drinking.

"Later, I understood Luffy! Just like me, I have a very stubborn temperament, and I can't change the things I decide. I thought about it for a moment, this sea is like this, countless men are galloping on this sea, how can I stop him! I still remember when he was first rewarded, Sengoku, you scolded me well, just like Ace. Speaking of which, Karp took a look at Sengoku.

Sengoku also smiled at Karp, and after the two of them touched a glass, they drank it all before Karp continued.

"Later, when I knew that he was fighting with that little imp in Rogertown, I was worried for a while, you must know that that little imp of Smoker was trained by this old guy like Zefa, I thought I was going to see him in the big prison under the sea!"

Zefa also clinked a glass with Karp.

"Later, Luffy's imp actually defeated Klokdahl's imp, but I was so happy, I didn't expect him to be able to defeat that crocodile imp." At this point, Karp smiled unconsciously.

"But I didn't think of Luffy and him, and in the end I ......," Karp said, his voice choked.

"This sea is like this, Karp, you should be proud of your grandson, after all, he is also galloping on this sea, dying on this sea for his dreams."

"What kind of dream is it to be One Piece, if you want to be it, you will climb the position of marshal of the navy for me, there is no reason why my grandson of Karp can't be a position that you old ghost can do in the Warring States." Karp grinned, but the smile was ugly.

"I see that you Monchi family, if you become the marshal of the navy, the entire navy will be ruined." Sengoku said disdainfully.

"I don't know who trained my son as a future successor." After arguing with the Warring States all his life, he was used to arguing, and Karp took advantage of the situation to go back.

The scene fell silent.

"Dorag!" There was a hint of nostalgia in Sengoku's tone, and he remembered that the boy who called him Uncle Sengoku at the beginning had now become the biggest bounty of the world government.

"Maybe you're doing the right thing! Dorag, the world government is really rotten! Let me see what you said about the will of the people! Sengoku thought to himself with self-deprecation in his heart.

"I don't know, how did you give birth to Dorag, and it can't be where you adopted it from!"

"Fart, Dorag is exactly as smart as I am, and must be my species." Karp shouted loudly when he heard Sengoku's words. "You've grown up watching Dorag, and you're jealous."

"If you're like you, your family will be doomed sooner or later." Zefa couldn't help but choke, Zefa couldn't see Karp's smug look, after all, Dorag was most like his mother.

"Zefa, you...... Forget it, don't care. ”

……

There were more and more empty wine bottles on the ground, and after Sengoku opened a bottle of wine, there was a hint of wine in his voice.

"Karp, can you really make a move on Ace?" Sengoku hesitated, but still said the cruelest thing for Karp.

Zefa and Sengoku looked at Karp and didn't speak, although they knew that Karp had temporarily walked out of Luffy's death, but now they weren't sure, and they couldn't bear to let their friends experience this pain again, after all, the last time Ace was imprisoned in the Great Prison under the Sea, Karp's appearance.

"Ace!" Karp poured another bottle of wine into his mouth. "Warring States, don't forget, I'm also a veteran!"

"Ace, don't blame grandpa, since you have chosen the path of pirates, you have to be responsible for the path you have chosen. Still, I guess Roger would be happy to see you now! ”

……

"Mind adding me one." Behind the crane, followed by a cart of drinks. "And I think you're not drinking as well!"

Tsuru smiled and looked at Sengoku, Karp, and Zefa in front of him.

After dealing with the goods brought from the New World, Tsuru followed, and Tsuru still didn't feel comfortable handing over Karp to Sengoku and Zefa personally, but when he saw them drinking, he knew that Karp had already walked out.

"You go down first."

"Yes, Lieutenant General Tsuru." The navy soldiers pushing the cart saluted Sengoku and the others and then retreated.

"It's Ah He." Karp patted his ass and made room for the crane. "Haven't you been drinking for a long time? How did you think of having a drink with us now? ”

"Time flies! I remember the last time we got together for a drink was when Sengoku was about to become a marshal. After taking the wine handed over by Sengoku, Tsuru sat down and drank it all in one gulp

"That's right, I still remember that he vomited me all over the Warring States!" Karp filled the crane with another glass.

"Karp, you're embarrassed to say. Who added ingredients to my wine? ”

"I'm down with Zefa."

"What, Zefa you have a share too!?"

"Don't listen to Karp's nonsense, he did it alone."

……

Tsuru watched the three of them quarrel with a smile on the sidelines.
