"Sting!"

A fine flash of lightning suddenly fell from the sky above the harbor of Marin Fandonay, and landed on the warship with a golden scepter on the bow with incomparable precision.

"Buzz!"

A slight tremor suddenly came from the warship, and then, a thin arc of electricity shuttled along the golden scepter, on the deck, on the mysterious golden lines above the ship.

"Zizi Zizi!"

The sound of electric arcing suddenly became loud, and the entire warship shook violently. The propeller, which had been stagnant for nearly a decade, suddenly began to spin rapidly.

"Boom!"

A series of thunderous roars resounded, and one after another thunderbolts quickly slashed at the warship, making its calm hull quickly active, as if it had been activated.

This scene alarmed the navy stationed nearby.

"What's going on?"

"What happened to the Sander?"

"Thunderbolt, where did this thunder and lightning come from?"

The soldiers who were originally chatting and resting widened their eyes and turned their heads one after another, looking at the huge warship in front of them, showing shocked expressions.

This is indeed unusual, after all, they know very well that this once significant warship has been parked for a long time, as if it has fallen into a permanent slumber.

But at this moment, the other party moved strangely again.

Then, in their even more incredible eyes, the rudder of the Sander turned rapidly, and then turned the bow of the ship to aim at the gate of justice.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could react, the ship had already shot out and disappeared in front of him, as swift as thunder and lightning.

"Hurry!!"

"Tell Vice Admiral Maynard that there is an abnormality in the Sander and that it ran away!"

"What are you kidding, the ship ran away on its own, who would believe it?"

"Moreover, Lieutenant General Maynard is now participating in a major headquarters meeting, and we can't go in at all!"

“······”

At the same time, at a meeting of the headquarters of the Navy.

A solemn and dignified atmosphere permeated the spacious conference room. A group of high-ranking generals and officers were silent, staring at the important documents in front of them.

At one end of the long table, Sengoku, who already had a little white between his hair, slowly spoke with a heavy face.

"Captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace!"

"Former Captain of the Spades Pirates!"

"Naturally, the ability to burn fruits."

"At one time, he refused the invitation from the World Government to His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas."

"A bounty of 550 million berry!"

The words reverberated in the conference room, with a great sense of power.

"Such a crucial figure in the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly appeared in the first half of the Great Passage, what mission does he have?"

"Or what purpose did Whitebeard send him here?"

Sengoku glanced at the generals present.

Of the three generals, only Polusalino, codenamed Yellow Ape, was present, and although he looked like he was listening attentively, he knew very well that this guy had already wandered into the world.

The lieutenant generals, who have entered middle age, have serious faces.

He sighed slightly.

I still can't count on these guys!

Compared with the current situation on the sea, the strength of the navy is still weak, and from the comparison of comprehensive strength, there is a huge gap between the combat power of the top level and the pirates.

And internally, there are many problems.

The three generals, not to mention the mavericks, are even more difficult to count on the lieutenant generals.

Just a fire fist Ace makes the entire headquarters like a great enemy.

Sometimes, Sengoku wondered if he was not fit to sit in this position at all, and he also felt tired and powerless countless times.

"If you want to have a decisive battle with one of the four emperors."

"Is there a high probability of victory in the current navy?"

With the passage of time, the Warring States have also entered aging, and their strength and energy are obviously inferior to those of previous years.

He is already thinking about abdication.

But before abdicating, he was also eager to do a big thing and leave the last glory for his career.

Just like when Marshal Sky was in office, he captured countless pirates and executed One Piece Roger, which is perfect.

Although he is a wise general and lacks combat power, he also longs for his marshal career and leaves no regrets.

"Do you have any suggestions on this matter?"

Sengoku said slowly.

"Perhaps, we should arrest this sea thief."

"It is conceivable that once the Fire Fist Ace is captured, it will also be a serious deterrent to the Whitebeard Pirates, who are famous in the world!"

A lieutenant general said in a deep voice.

"I don't think it's appropriate, easily moving a captain-level figure of the Whitebeard Pirates can easily lead to a war between the Navy and it, which will affect the stability of the entire world!"

"Moreover, who can capture such a powerful figure as Fire Fist Ace?"

"Send a general?"

Soon, one of them spoke.

"Ridiculous, are you afraid of Whitebeard?"

"Even the Fire Fist Ace is afraid, worried about starting a war with the pirates?"

"When did our navy become so unbearable?"

A lieutenant general angrily rebuked, his gray beard and, though old, a well-known hawk.

"Impulsiveness doesn't solve the problem, it only complicates the situation in the world."

A faint voice sounded.

Looking at the group of lieutenant generals in front of him, listening to the warm exchange of opinions between the two sides, and even several parties, Warring States' brows gradually furrowed, and his face was even more ugly.

"In my opinion, grab Fire Fist Ace and use this as an opportunity!"

"Start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates, and completely take down the oldest and most famous force among the Four Emperors!"

"In this way, the pirates who shock the whole world can show the strength of our navy!"

"This is the best solution to this matter!"

A sonorous voice sounded, and Sengoku looked ahead.

The person who said this was a middle-aged lieutenant general, with a firm and resolute look in his eyes, which was also somewhat in line with his heart.

"Why?"

He asked aloud.

"One, the cadre-level members of the Four Emperors Regiment will not be left alone easily, give us this opportunity!"

"Fire Fist Ace is going out alone, no matter what the reason, if our navy can seize this opportunity, the chances of capturing him will be very high!"

"Second, among the four emperors, although Whitebeard is the most famous and powerful, he is known as the strongest man in the world, and he is one of the three legendary pirates."

"However, he is getting older, and with the erosion of time, the hidden diseases of his youth have inevitably appeared, and our informants have brought information."

"This legendary pirate now relies on hanging bottles every day to stay alive."

"That is, he used to be maybe the strongest man, but now."

After a pause, the lieutenant general laughed.

"Not necessarily!"

Sengoku's eyes narrowed, and he thought carefully.

"Three, the Whitebeard Pirates, there is no successor, a group of captain-level powerhouses, maybe they are old, and their strength is strong, but compared to other imperial groups, they may not be stronger!"

"If we have enough courage, we have a considerable degree of confidence to take down this old lion group!"

The lieutenant general chuckled.

"The old lions?"

Sengoku rejected this description, and for a moment felt that it was quite appropriate, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Whitebeard is already dying, and the cadres under his command are not brilliant enough to inherit the huge family business he has created.

Compared with the other three imperial groups, it is still at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is the most powerful moment, and the contrast is indeed obvious.

"So, what about the arrest plan for Fire Fist Ace?"

His face softened a little, and he asked out loud.

For the Whitebeard Pirates, it is indeed a good suggestion. If the situation reached that point, he would also have enough courage to fight a decisive battle with this Four Emperors.

In this way, he will leave a successful and heavy glory for his marshal career, which will also shock the whole world and open the next era!

It is conceivable that once one of the Four Emperors is eliminated by him. Then in the future, the successor marshal will be able to control the situation at sea more easily and better.

"Fire Fist Ace can quickly grow from a newcomer two years ago to the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, it is conceivable that he is not to be underestimated in terms of talent or strength!"

"Therefore, I think the navy is a delicate plan, mainly ambushes and group attacks."

"If you don't make a move, you will definitely have to use the power of thunder to completely win the other party."

"As for the candidates, I suggest."

As he said this, Sengoku suddenly frowned and looked at the door of the conference room.

"Dadada!"

The dull sound of footsteps came, which was heard by the generals who were doing it, and there were expressions of dissatisfaction and anger on their faces.

No one will be allowed to interfere with major naval meetings.

"Bang!"

In the next second, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

A young school officer, dressed in an atmospheric manner, propped his hands on the doorknob, looked at the conference room, and the generals looked at him in unison, and couldn't help but tremble.

There is no doubt that being stared at by a group of naval bigwigs is extremely terrifying.

But soon, he gritted his teeth and looked at everyone bravely.

Because, the next incident will set off a shock and shock in the entire high-level circles of the Navy.

"Report, report to the Marshal of the Warring States!"

"I just got news from Advance City."

"Xia, General Xia Le is out!"

Taking a deep breath, the young officer shouted.

"General Charlotte is out!"

"The general is out!"

"It's out!"

The aftermath lingers and reverberates.

The entire conference room suddenly fell into absolute silence, and the pins could be heard.

On the faces, the angry and indifferent expressions of the previous moment are changing rapidly. Some people are afraid, some are shocked, some are sluggish, some are numb, some are excited.

Even the Warring States had a trance when they heard the name that was almost forgotten.

His whole body stiffened for a moment, and it seemed that his brain was a little down.

Immediately after, his body was a spirit, and his eyes were fixed on the school official in front of him.

"You're talking about Charlot?"

The officer nodded heavily.

"It's General Charlot!"

"Half an hour ago, he took the Advance City supply warship, and left with the former captain of the Sun Pirates, Fisher Tiger, his former subordinate Colonel Bucky, and a woman named Guina!"

"For sure."

"This is the first time in nearly ten years that General Xia Le has left Advance City!"

The school officer's voice was a little excited and trembling, which also made the hearts of all the generals beat faster.

At this moment, the Warring States clenched his fists silently.

The man.

It's finally back again!
