"So, there are a total of eight lieutenant generals who found out that they had obtained the Devil Fruit ability during the meal."

Sengoku looked at the document in front of him with a calm face: "Moreover, all of them are ordinary animal-based devil fruits below the horizontal line, and the best one of them is actually Lieutenant General Karp's dog fruit, Dalmatian form?" ”

"This is the final result after the check-in."

On the sofa opposite Sengoku, the gray-haired Lieutenant General Tsuru said calmly: "And, according to the descriptions of the lieutenant generals, they are all dining with their friends or subordinates, and there are many colonels or major generals among those people, and most of them are not Devil Fruit abilities, and everyone does not share the meal, but-"

She paused: "These eight Devil Fruits were accurately subdued by the eight lieutenant generals. ”

Sengoku's face darkened completely.

"Tsuru, how do you think this kind of thing is done?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru said without hesitation: "If you want to do this kind of thing, there is only one possibility, that is, the other party has completely mastered the eating habits of the eight lieutenant generals and the officers who dine with the lieutenant generals. ”

Not only that, but the other party also precisely controlled the time of poisoning, so that by the time someone reacted, everyone else had already been hit. It is worth mentioning that Lieutenant General Karp was the first to be hit, and the opponent obviously took him the most, and his time was two minutes earlier than the others. ”

"It's a pity that his first instinct was not to inform others, but to put on his hat."

Sengoku: "."

"Don't mention him."

"So, I can be roughly sure that the other party's undercover agent in Marin Vando is probably not just one or two people. At least eight people who delivered food to the lieutenant general had problems, and the back kitchen was the hardest hit area, otherwise it would not be possible to control the time so precisely. ”

Sengoku closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "The Whitebeard Pirates. What a means. ”

"Although it cannot be ruled out that it was done by other forces, after all, this kind of behavior is not like Whitebeard's style, but, in terms of consequentialism, the suspicion of the Whitebeard Pirates is the greatest."

Lieutenant General Tsuru analyzed:

"After all, all the Navy soldiers have been background checked since the audition, and they want to install so many undercover agents, and they are all gathered in Marinfando. If it weren't for the big loopholes in our navy's recruitment system that we don't know about, I'm afraid that the other side would have been infiltrating Marin Fando a few years ago. ”

"After such a long period of infiltration, but brazenly attacking at a sensitive time like this, the only reason is tomorrow's war."

Sengoku sneered: "So, even if I didn't start a war on the grounds of Ace, did the other party already plan to attack the navy years ago?" ”

"Forget it, the focus now is what they will do in the future."

Lieutenant General Crane replied quickly: "All the soldiers and officers involved in this incident have been isolated and questioned separately, and through comparing confessions, in addition to the eight logistics soldiers who delivered meals to the eight lieutenant generals, fifteen undercover agents have been preliminarily identified, and they are basically distributed in various positions in the officer's canteen——"

Lieutenant General Tsuru paused: "I'm afraid that's not all. ”

"Good! Very good! Sengoku gritted his teeth: "Marin Fando, the most important base of the navy, has been infiltrated into a sieve, it seems that I can take the blame and resign!" ”

"Sengoku-"

"Keep talking!" Sengoku waved his hand and said, "I'd like to hear how they came in undercover." ”

“.” Lieutenant General Tsuru was silent at this time.

It wasn't until Sengoku began to get a little impatient that she said in a dry voice: "For the time being. Haven't gotten any meaningful information yet. ”

"What do you mean by not getting information?" Sengoku stood up suddenly: "Haven't you already found more than twenty undercover agents?" Hours have passed since the incident, and the interrogation has not yet begun? ”

"A few hours ago, the interrogation of eight logistics soldiers had begun." Lieutenant General Tsuru sighed: "However, they didn't say anything. ”

"And the fifteen soldiers who followed were the same, even if there was conclusive evidence that they were involved in the incident within their duties, but. They also don't say anything. ”

"What is the Inquisitor doing?" Warring States slapped the table angrily: "More than twenty mouths, none of them pry them open?" ”

Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded slowly: "It's incredible, but it's true. ”

"These people have the determination to never betray those behind the scenes, even if they die, and our only gain is that we found an object with the logo of the Whitebeard Pirates in the dormitory of a non-commissioned officer."

Sengoku slowly sat back in his chair.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Dead?" ”

"It's not like a pirate can do it."

"It seems that we can't hope for the results of the investigation, and we must at least make a plan before tomorrow. Tsuru, what do you think the other party wants to do at such a big cost to let eight lieutenant generals eat the Devil Fruit? ”

"Those animal-based Devil Fruits have little effect on the strength of the Lieutenant Generals, especially for Lieutenant General Karp, it is meaningless except that they no longer need to wear dog-headed hats."

"Moreover, we can easily find that in the Navy Headquarters and all the lieutenant generals of the various branches summoned this time, except for those giant lieutenant generals, there are exactly eight lieutenant generals who have not eaten Devil Fruits, and in addition, whether it is you and me, or the generals, they are all Devil Fruit abilities."

"Then the other party's purpose is obvious."

Lieutenant General Crane said slowly: "For the sake of the lieutenant generals. It's just a weakness. ”

"You think the same thing as I do." Sengoku Road: "The weakness of those with Devil Fruit abilities"

He paused: "As long as I come into contact with the seawater, I will instantly become weak, even if I fall into the seawater and no one rescues me, I am afraid that I will drown." ”

"That's right, after this incident, all the generals above the lieutenant general level in Marin Fando are all Devil Fruit abilities." Lieutenant General Tsuru said.

"Does Whitebeard want to use this to defeat the Navy?" Sengoku frowned, "I've fought with Whitebeard many times, this kind of method is not at all like what Whitebeard would do, in my expectation, he should face off with the navy in a dignified manner." ”

"Moreover, most of the cadres of the Whitebeard Pirates, including Whitebeard himself, are also Devil Fruit abilities, right?"

Lieutenant General Crane was silent for a moment and said, "You know Whitebeard, I understand, I know how attached Whitebeard is to his family. ”

"Sengoku, when you decide to publicly execute Portcas· When D. Ace, you should be mentally prepared to face a man who gambles everything he has in order to save his son. ”

"And, a decent duel?"

"The tsunami that flooded the entire Marinfando is itself the Devil Fruit ability of Whitebearded Edward Newgate."
