The news that Smoker was taken away by the Navy's Criminal Investigation Division for investigation soon spread among the cadets of the same period.

Although the other people in the naval academy did not know why the best person in their class was taken away for investigation, the young naval cadets who were sitting around the school yard and chatting together that afternoon guessed why, and everyone was in danger for a while.

"You're saying that Smoker was taken away because he spread that 'rumor'?"

In the office of the chief instructor of the Naval Academy, Zinfa and several naval cadets stood respectfully at their desks.

After learning that Smoker was arrested, they came to Zefa, on the one hand, they had a good relationship with Smoker, and wanted to inquire about Smoker's whereabouts and possible future treatment.

Another reason is that these young people want to seek Zefa's help, and they don't want this matter to affect their careers.

In the Navy Headquarters, even the sons and nephews of those senior generals need to walk around the Naval Academy after going through the experience of the grassroots level.

Only young officers who have graduated from the naval school will have a better upward course in the future. In fact, the naval school is not only a place to learn "advanced management techniques" and "higher-level combat skills", but also a place to expand horizons and expand social circles.

Compared with those ordinary "big-headed soldiers" in the four seas, the cadets who graduated from the naval academy have any advantages, and everyone who understands them.

In the naval school, the most famous and powerful person is undoubtedly Zefa.

Although he only manages the Naval Academy, no one will doubt Zefa's influence in the navy.

Marshal of the Warring States and the hero Karp are Zefa's partners at the same time, old comrades-in-arms, and the three major admirals of the current navy are all disciples of Zefa, the backbone of the navy, those lieutenant generals and rear admirals in the headquarters have basically been trained in the naval school under him, and even the former admiral with a bounty of 5 billion Bailey, I heard that Zefa was trained by Zefa.

The young students knew very well that if there was anyone who could help Smoker and help them, it would be Zefa.

The instructors of the naval school are basically only officers at the rank of colonel or even lieutenant colonel.

Those instructors simply have the ability to fish people out of the Navy's Criminal Investigation Division, and they don't even have to say anything in front of the leaders of other departments, after all, the section chief of the department is a lieutenant general!

Smoker was taken away for investigation, and Zefa only learned about it after the students told him.

Glancing intently at the young men of Hina, Zefa's eyebrows showed a little anger.

"Mr. Zefa, Smoker really doesn't mean anything else."

"He's just a little quicker."

Hina, who had disagreed with Smoker on the school field before, instead covered Smoker when facing Zefa and said good things.

Of course, she didn't hide anything from Zefa, and under Zefa's questioning, she told Zefa exactly what had happened before, and also retold some of the things she remembered that Smoker had said before.

Listening to Hina's report, the anger between Zefa's eyebrows did not subside, but instead slammed his fist on the desk, and scolded in a low voice:

"Bastard thing!"

"Those idiots in the Crime Investigation Division are full of food every day, what are they doing with nothing?"

"With this spare time, it is better to go to sea and run for a walk, and inspect and inspect the naval branches of the four seas to see if there is anything illegal and undisciplined!"

"You actually put your hand into our naval school, did you ask me!"

"Don't you take me seriously?!"

Smoker was arrested, Zefa was quite angry, not angry Smoker, this kid doesn't know the severity, talking nonsense, young man, immature, it's normal. He was angry that the Navy's Crime Investigation Division had actually extended its tentacles to his naval school and arrested his students without even asking his opinion, which he could not accept.

Although Zefa has been on the back line for many years, no one has ever gone wild on his turf after so many years!

Even if the Warring States wanted to assign these students to work in the local area, they also needed his signature and approval before they could be transferred!

It was the first time for them to see Zefa make such a big fire, and they sneaked a glance at the sunken table on the desk, and they all lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Zefa is a kind and kind person, and he thinks about the cadets wholeheartedly, but at the same time he is also a serious person, and the training cadets are also very strict, and the naval cadets respect and fear Zefa's feelings.

The office fell silent, no one spoke.

Zefa groaned a little, then grabbed the phone bug, started the phone, and after a busy tone, the phone was connected.

"Bastard, did you let people come to the Naval Academy to arrest people?!"

"Where are the people now?"

As soon as the call was connected, Zefa roared angrily.

On the other end of the phone, Sengoku had just picked up the receiver, and he heard the roar of his old comrades-in-arms coming from it, and Branny, who was standing in front of him and was reporting on the "recent movements of the new navy on Thunder God Island", also heard Zefa's roar, silently lowered his head, pretended not to hear, and then quickly exited the office.

"Arrest? What kind of arrest, I don't know? ”

"Who? Don't get excited, make it clear. ”

Sengoku was stunned by Zefa's roar, and asked strangely.

"You don't know?!"

"Smoker, it's my cadet at the Naval Academy, who was taken away by the Navy's Crime Search Division!"

"That's your direct department!"

"Without your nod, they dare to arrest people from me?"

Zefa's voice was not small, and when he heard this, Warring States was stunned at first, and then lowered his eyelids, and said: "I really don't know about this matter, I want to ask Tianzheng." ”

"Wait for my news, I'll give you an answer when I investigate clearly."

Sengoku's answer obviously did not satisfy Zefa, Zefa's voice dropped, and he replied in a deep voice: "No need, I'll answer myself!" ”

When the words fell, there was a busy sound from the earpiece in the hands of the Warring States.

"What is this guy going to do?"

"I arrested people and reported them before, but this time I actually dared to arrest people by me?"

Sengoku's heart sank, and then he didn't stay in the office anymore, and just got up and left from his seat.

The Crime Investigation Division of the Navy Headquarters is a part directly under the Marshal of the Navy, and its function is to investigate violations of law and discipline within the Navy.

The world government has been standing in the world for 800 years, and it has two strongest departments, one is the navy and the other is the CP.

After so many years, how can it be that every successive ruler of the navy will be honest? There has long been a rift between the Navy and the CP.

And the Five Old Stars, as synonymous with the highest power in this world, how could they allow their own side of the power to grow infinitely. The Navy and CP restrain each other and check and balance each other, which is essentially the handiwork of the five old stars.

The power of the criminal search division comes from the marshal, and the Sengoku uses this knife very carefully, and if Tenmasa wants to arrest people, he basically needs his consent.

"Do you smoke?"

Crime Investigation Division, among the Heavenly Administration Office.

Navy cadet Smoker was invited to tea, and on the sofa, Tianzheng took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to Smoker, who was sitting precariously, and asked softly.

"I don't smoke."

Shaking his head, Smoker looked up at the "leader" in front of him, who was wearing a blue suit and sunglasses indoors, and observed it carefully.

"Well, it's a good habit not to smoke, and I didn't smoke before."

"It's just a few days ago."

"When the pressure is high, it is inevitable that some means will be needed to alleviate the pressure."

Tianzheng said, took back the cigarette case, gently shook one out of it, put it in his mouth, and was about to light himself, then raised his head and asked Smoker:

"Do you mind if I have one?"

Hearing this, Smoker glanced at Tianzheng in surprise and shook his head: "You are free." ”

"Thank you."

Tianzheng bit the cigarette and smiled, then lit the cigarette.

After taking a slight breath, Tianzheng leaned lightly on the back of the sofa, looked at the ceiling, looked like enjoyment, and groaned a little, before Tianzheng continued to speak: "Smoker, right?" ”

"Relax, please come, just chat, you don't have to be nervous."

"Do you know why I invited you?"

As he spoke, Tianzheng lowered his head slightly and asked.

"I know."

"No matter how many times you ask me to say it, I'll say it."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the behavior of the general of Ji Guoyuan!"

"Wouldn't the Celestial Dragons do something wrong?"

"No matter how many times you want me to say it, I'll answer it this way!"

Smoker put his hands on his shoulders and said bluntly, and after speaking, he closed his eyes, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

They have all come to the office of the Crime Investigation Bureau, what else is there to hide?

Lie?

That kind of thing, Smoker didn't bother to do at all, not to mention, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, just to tell the truth.

When the words fell, the office fell silent, and Tianzheng didn't mean to reprimand Smoker, he glanced at Smoker slightly, and smoked a cigarette by himself.

A few minutes later, Tianzheng smoked a cigarette and pressed the cigarette butt gently into the ashtray.

And Smoker didn't see the other party speak for a long time, and slowly opened his eyes.

"You're right, the Draconians will also do wrong."

"Following the country's fate. Ji Guoyuan's behavior, in his own opinion, is also right. ”

"Even, in the eyes of many people, it's right."

"Hmm"

"I admit it, and then what?"

Tianzheng crossed his hands in front of his chest, crossed Erlang's legs, and finally asked out loud.

"And then? What then? ”

Smoker asked with a frown.

"I think I'm right, I kill the Holy Land, and then what?"

"The pirates are still wandering around and plundering, the Draconians have been killed a lot by him, and the slaves have indeed been liberated, but the world, this world."

"Oh, he's wanted, he's no longer an admiral."

"So."

"Has he changed anything?"

Tianzheng asked.

Hearing Tianzheng's words, Smoker immediately straightened up, and his eyes showed shock.

For the first time, he knew exactly what was going on on the Holy Land. If it was just some rumors and what he thought was speculation, then when these words came out of Tianzheng's mouth, there was no doubt about the truth.

Lieutenant General of Tenmasa

Rumor is one of those who witnessed it.

However, after being shocked, Smoker also noticed the other party's question, and then replied with a contemplative look:

"I've heard that he built a new navy after he left the navy."

"Even if he leaves the Navy, he is still carrying out his own justice, is this?"

Before Smoker finished speaking, Tianzheng immediately interrupted: "New navy? ”

"Do you know how many years the world government and navy have existed?"

"800 years!"

"The new navy? According to the information I received, his new navy only has one or two thousand people in total, and the territory under his control is four islands, no, now there are only two and a half left, he has withdrawn from Dressrosa, Fish-Man Island, can only be counted as half. ”

"It's not that I'm talking badly, any big group of pirates in the New World with a bounty of more than 500 million is more than others."

"It's such a new navy, how can it overwhelm the world government?"

"Or how long will it take for him to overwhelm the Navy Headquarters and the World Government?"

"Give him a hundred years, can you do it?"

"Did he live for a hundred years? If the new navy loses Jiguo Yuanyi, it will be wiped out of this world in minutes, do you believe it? ”

"Now I'm going to ask you the same thing: 'And then?' ”

By now, Smoker finally understood the meaning of Tianzheng, and his young mind was flying at this moment, and he felt that he had no way to argue, and he frowned, and asked, "Then do nothing?" ”

"Draconian"

"Isn't it necessary to correct the mistakes of the Celestial Dragons?"

Hearing this, Tianzheng suddenly laughed, got up from the sofa, walked to Smoker's side, patted Smoker's shoulder gently, and said:

"You know what it means, Admiral?"

"Do you know what it means to be a marshal?"

"Do you know how old he was when he got the rank of admiral?"

"He had a better choice, he just chose a different path."

"You're different, you're still young, you can take a different path."

With that, Tenmasa left Smoker's side, went to the back of his desk, and then sat down on his chair, and said to Smoker, who was not far away:

"You must be in a complicated mood right now, right?"

"There's a fire burning in your chest, and your mind must be trying to figure out how to refute me."

"But none of this matters anymore."

"Because of some of your remarks, you may be sent out early."

"Your path to ascent after that will also be full of thorns."

"But I don't think you should care about this kind of thing, Smoker, no matter how strong a person is, there is a limit to what he can do."

"I hope you will be able to recall our conversation today for the rest of your naval career."

"I'm not here to hit you, I just want you to know what choices a mature navy should make."

"Only when you take the right path can the ideals and ambitions in your chest be realized."

"If it's okay, you're good to go."

Tianzheng pointed to the door of the office, but Smoker, who heard this, just sat on the sofa in a daze, without saying a word. Tianzheng didn't mean to urge, and began to deal with the documents on his own.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud bang exploded in the office, and the door of the office was kicked away, and in an instant, sawdust flew all over the place.

A tall figure walked quickly into the office, looked around, and his eyes fell on Smoker's.

Behind the desk, Tianzheng saw someone coming, under his sunglasses, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help complaining:

"Teacher Zefa, it's good if you just push the door in, why break the door!"

"Isn't it like I won't give it to you?"

Seeing that Smoker was intact, Zefa turned a deaf ear to Celestial's complaints, walked to Smoker's side, grabbed Smoker's shoulder with one hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, boy, I'm coming to pick you up!"

"My students, no one dares to move without my permission!"

Smoker's gaze had a little focus, looking at the figure in front of him, Smoker suddenly felt that the fog in front of him had dissipated, turned his head, and said to Tianzheng:

"Thank you, I'll take your words to heart."

With that, Smoker stood up and turned to leave, Zefa didn't know what Tianzheng said to his students, but Smoker was finally safe and sound, and Zefa didn't trouble Tianzheng anymore and left with Smoker.

Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Tianzheng showed a light smile.

And not long after Zefa and Smoker left, Sengoku hurried over, and when he saw Tianzheng's somewhat messy office, most of the anger in his chest disappeared, but he still didn't forget his purpose, and asked Tianzheng:

"Why didn't you ask me?"

Faced with the question of the Warring States Marshal, Tianzheng only smiled and replied, "I just invited him to come and chat." ”

"And you're not worried about me, aren't you?"

"I rejected the invitation of Admiral Ji Guoyuan and returned to the Navy Headquarters~"

"By the way, Marshal, Spandain seems to be very well-informed."

As he spoke, Tianzheng and Sengoku glanced at each other from afar, although they didn't say it thoroughly, but Sengoku reacted instantly, and his face was suddenly clouded.

New world.

A small warship with full sails sails is moving fast on the sea.

"What kind of person is that Vegapunk?"

This small warship was the same as Ji Guoyuan and the others who were heading to Eggtip Island, and as the destination approached, Luo couldn't help but get nervous, came to the deck, walked to Ji Guoyuanyi's side, and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know—"

"I haven't dealt with it."

"He's a great scientist, his technology is at least 500 years ahead of the world!"

Ji Guoyuan replied with a smile that when most people in this world were still using single-shot flintlock pistols and reloading artillery, he had already used clones and laser weapons, and it was still too conservative to say that he was five hundred years ahead of the world.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Luo looked at the sea with some expectation, and his worried heart calmed down a little.
