Chapter 7: The Storm is Coming

Night is approaching, and the Whitebeard Pirate Ship, which has ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed, has entered Whitebeard's territory, and the sense of crisis and urgency that hangs in everyone's hearts has also dissipated. Sitting alone on the deck, looking at the magnificent sea in front of him, Marco turned to his deputy and asked, "Vic, have you heard of the Arte family?" ”

"House Arte? Quite familiar, which side, Captain? Hearing Marko's question, after thinking for a while, he only felt more and more familiar, but Vic, who just couldn't remember, scratched his head and asked Marko.

"Well, I guess, it's from the Navy." Hearing Vic's question, Marco also scratched his punk head and said casually.

"The Arte family, the Navy's Arte family, aha, captain, you're talking about that "stupid family"! Vic, who suddenly came to his senses, slapped his leg and said loudly.

"Huh? The Fool Family? Looking at his deputy speechlessly, Marco asked speechlessly: "According to the ingenuity of that little ghost, a single round of wisdom can play more than one of the two of us, what kind of stupid family do you say?" So what are we? Idiot? ”

"Ahh It is said that there is still a kingdom of his own on the great voyage......" Hearing Marko's words, knowing that he would be mistaken, Vic hurriedly added.

------------ Dividing Line------------

Marin Vando, in the office of the Marshal of the Navy Headquarters. Seeing that the entire office was filled, except for two who were invited by themselves, the rest were uninvited admirals, even with the wisdom of the Warring States felt a headache at this moment.

Arte Frendo Koya, the name of this six-year-old boy appeared on the report on the Kosakuye incident, Sengoku didn't pay much attention to it, although a six-year-old child suddenly appeared on the navy's patrol fleet, it must mean that he was a descendant of the admirals in the navy, but the situation at that time not only involved the Four Emperors, but also the Whitebeard Pirates, who were the top strength among the Four Emperors, and Sengoku didn't care too much.

"It's just a six-year-old child, if it's dead, it's dead, is it possible that someone dares to come to my office and question me? You must have thought so at the time, right? Marshal of the Warring States. ”

Looking at the old woman sitting on the sofa not far from the desk, even if the Warring States was the supreme commander of the navy, she had to get up and deal with it carefully.

"Two lieutenant generals, five major generals and three brigadier generals, plus this man who is within the world government and serves as a senior liaison officer...... Is this the power of the Arte family within the navy? No, or maybe that's just the tip of the iceberg. He put his finger on his glasses, and the white light refracted by the mirror blocked the jealousy in the eyes of this Buddha's Warring States. After being silent for a long time, Sengoku said solemnly: "I am deeply sorry for what happened before, and I will promise you on behalf of the navy that I will do my best to rescue Arte Frendo Koya, and for this, even if I send a general to fight!" ”

"Since there is the phrase Marshal of the Warring States, then the old body can rest assured, the Arte family may not be able to help others, but if you want to pick up the first soldier and fight to the death without retreating, compared to our Arte family, everyone knows about this entire great voyage." As the voice of the Warring States period fell, the old woman who sat on the sofa and got up slowly walked out of the office with the support of the younger generations of the Arte family.

Pushing open the door, the old woman, who was not in a hurry to go out, looked back at the Warring States and said meaningfully: "Where it is useful for our Arte family, the Marshal of the Warring States can just give orders." ”

"Well, I will."

"So, it's time to leave."

......

Looking at the clean office that left in an instant, and the heartless bastard eating pancakes in the corner, the annoyed Sengoku smashed the desk in front of him with a fist, and his usually calm face showed a rare look of annoyance.

"It's rare to see you have such a big temper, it seems that you are really angry with that old woman of the Arte family, Sengoku?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, Karp! You know it's not this that I'm angry about!! "Listen to Monchi... D. Karp's banter, the furious Sengoku roared angrily.

"Ah, I know." Looking at the angry Warring States calmly, Karp changed his previous style of not doing the right thing, and said with a solemn expression: "All this, all of this is the handiwork of the five old men of the world government, I can see this, you can also see it, the old woman of the Arte family who just left can also see it, and even the whitebeard who is estimated to have gotten the news now." ”

"All of this, including the Kosakuye incident, including all the soldiers of that entire fleet, and even the kid named Koya, are just pawns, pawns caught in the heart of the storm."

"The World Government wants to use this as a start, and wants to use the power of the Navy to their advantage, to help them complete a temptation." Looking at the terrible Warring States with a gloomy face, he casually threw away the remaining half of the pancakes in his hand, stood up, and stood up like an insurmountable mountain, and said with a sneer: "They want us to test it, to confirm it, and use the blood of our soldiers to verify whether that monster, the monster known as Whitebeard, is really defeated by time, whether it is really old." ”

Quiet, death-like silence shrouded the entire marshal's office, and the Warring States of the Buddha, Monchi · D. Karp, these two old navies who had fought in One Piece for half their lives looked at each other and were silent.

"To do this, it is likely, no, it is completely playing with fire, killing yourself!! Yes, they are killing themselves, they want me to push my soldiers to the road of death!!! ”

Karp: "......"

"This time, please, Karp......"

Looking at the old comrade-in-arms in front of him, who had faced strong enemies countless times, and now he was so tired, Karp didn't say anything, just waved his fist vigorously, and left the office without looking back.
