A few days later, in the town of Rogue, the admirals of the East China Sea gathered again in the conference room to review the failed operation.

However, this time it was not Smoker or Karp who organized the meeting, but the Admiral Sengoku, who was far away in the naval headquarters.

A telephone bug was placed on the podium, with a beard that hung to the ground, and the angry voice of the Admiral was now playing outside.

"What the hell are you doing? The last time I reported the situation, I said that I had laid a net, why did I let David Jones and his gang fly over Upside Down Mountain? You know what that bastard Morgans does in the newspapers do about it? Come, I'll read you a few titles. ”

There was the sound of turning pages in the phone bug.

"'The navy is incompetent, and the legend of hundreds of years ago returns to the great route and will regain supremacy at sea'!"

"'The hero Karp is suspected of having suffered a tragic defeat, and David Jones and his gang already have the 'Four Emperors' combat power?!"

"'One of the Seven Martial Seas' Klokdal said that if the 'Hades of the Deep Sea' dares to offend Alabastan, he will do everything in his power to defeat it!"

"Listen, what do the newspaper headlines say about our navy?" Incompetent', 'big defeat', and the 'Seven Martial Seas' need to take action to rub our butts for us! I haven't stopped answering the phone for the past few days! ”

The entire conference room was silent, and all the Admirals bowed their heads, except for Karp, Smoker, and Tina from the Admiralty Headquarters, who were still sitting upright.

Sengoku in the phone bug scolded angrily.

"Sengoku, you can't blame them all this time." Karp spoke up at this point.

"It's good that they can come up with such a plan in a short period of time."

"Second, there is a serious lack of intelligence, and David Jones obviously has more hole cards that have not been revealed."

"Thirdly, and most importantly, I was not there at the time, and I have the greatest responsibility."

Karp took the initiative to take the blame, causing many of the admirals present to move their bodies in their chairs in disapprup.

There was silence on the other end of the phone worm for a while, so that the generals thought that there was a signal problem, until the voice of Sengoku came again.

"Karp, you go back to the Navy Headquarters immediately and accept the review and punishment." Sengoku's tone had regained his calm, "The rest of the people will also write a review report and send it to the Navy Headquarters immediately." ”

Write a review again? Karp frowned, but it shouldn't be a big problem to think that he could hand this over to his friend Tsuru.

Unexpectedly, Sengoku was like a roundworm in his stomach:

"Karp, I warn you, this review report must be written by you yourself! You are not allowed to look for Lieutenant General Tsuru, and you can't find anyone else, you have to write it yourself! ”

Karp frowned.

However, the generals were relieved that no one had been demoted or dismissed because of this defeat, and they were only subject to internal punishment and review, which was fine.

Just when they thought that the Navy Headquarters would raise the board high and put it down gently, they heard the tone of the Sengoku Marshal suddenly become more serious.

"Captain Rat, 16th Branch of the East China Sea, out of the ranks!"

The mouse sitting in the far corner of the conference room was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and gave a military salute in the direction of the phone bug.

He got up. Karp lazily shouted at the phone bug, as if he had known this was going to happen.

Sengoku did not hide his displeasure:

"Colonel Mouse, is it true that you are now accused of being passive against the enemy on the battlefield, abandoning the ship and escaping without firing a single shot, and not having a bit of military demeanor from beginning to end?"

The rat shouted directly without even thinking about it, and has turned lying into instinct:

"Marshal of the Warring States, this is not a fact, someone must have framed me!"

However, the fact is that in the naval battles under the upside-down mountain, almost all the admirals were hung up to varying degrees.

Brynbrin broke his head and is still wrapped in a bandage.

Lipa has a broken leg.

Smoker was badly wounded and lost a lot of blood.

Tina was also mentally tortured.

Even Karp, who arrived last, bent his waist.

Among the people present, only the rat was not injured at all, at most it was soaking wet.

There were quite a few witnesses to passive combat, retreating to the rear of the warship formation, and abandoning the ship to escape without firing a single shot.

The admirals at the scene all stared at the rat with unkind faces, and finally found a place to vent their anger because they had lost the eradication war.

"This deserter ......," Lipa muttered in a low voice, "not as reckless as Monka." ”

The rat was about to argue, and Sengoku interrupted him.

"In addition, it has been reported that you have colluded with a group of fish-man pirates to carry out an eight-year reign of terror on more than 20 villages and towns, and you will collect money every month, and those who disobey will be retaliated by you. What about this matter? Is it true? ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked in their hearts.

If the previous incident was a desertion scandal and had to be court-martialed, then this incident is quite appalling.

Collusion between the Navy and pirates?

And for eight more years?

Is this really going to happen?

Moreover, these pirates are still fishmen, and since the war with David Jones and his gang, the term "fishmen" has become quite sensitive.

Even the Warring States deliberately ignored one of the newspaper headlines when they read them.

"'Judging from the 'Upside-Down Mountain and Sea Battle', are the fishmen the best race?'"

The "Draconians" are not counted, they are gods.

And the rats are colluding with the fish-people.

Could it be that there is something strange about the defeat in this naval battle?

As soon as Bryn heard Sengoku's words, his mouth opened wide in shock.

He looked at the mouse, incredulous.

Because he had just proposed to the rats not long ago to join forces to exterminate the fish-man pirates......

And the marshal of the Warring States said that the rats and the group of fish-man pirates had long colluded with each other?

The rat's face turned pale, and he couldn't understand where the news had leaked.

For so many years, Aaron has controlled the area well, plus he intercepted the report letter, and did not let anyone successfully report the news.

What went wrong?

He could only continue to shout: "Marshal of the Warring States, I have been wronged...... Someone is trying to fabricate accusations against me! ”

"Are you willing to confront the whistleblower?" Sengoku asked coldly.

"They're in Rogue right now. The Aaron Pirates have been exterminated, and the victims have managed to escape from control and have come to Rogue Town to report in person. ”

Smoker didn't know about this, he had been recuperating from his injuries for the past few days, and he couldn't help but look up in surprise when he heard this.

The villagers from Aaron's stronghold found Dusty first, then Karp all the way, and finally the whole thing was stabbed to the naval headquarters.

The Aaron Pirates have been exterminated?

The whistleblower is in Rogue Town?

The mouse was in a cold sweat, only to feel that his hands and feet were shaking and numb, and he sat down on the chair a little weakly, silent.

Sengoku's voice came from the phone bug:

"Colonel Rat is suspended for investigation, as are all the Navy soldiers in his precinct. Brigadier General Brynn! ”

"Marshal Sengoku, I'm here!" Brymblin, with his head bandaged, stood up.

"You are in charge of investigating this matter with full powers, there can be no omission, there can be no favoritism, I need to know the truth of everything within a month, understand?"

"Yes!" Bryn Bryn glared at the mouse and said indignantly, "Marshal, I promise to complete the mission!" ”

The rat's lips pursed, his head in his hands, and he had fallen into despair.

Sengoku began to talk about the last item of the meeting.

"Now, I announce that given the danger and bad influence of David Jones and his gang, their bounty will be raised!"

"Their new members have been discovered this time, and after the identification of the villagers who reported Colonel Mouse, it has been confirmed that they are the remnants of the Aaron Pirates, 'Octopus' Hachi and 'Manatee' Moo, so a reward of 10 million Bailey and 5 million Bailey are offered respectively!"

"'Iron Rod' Yarrita, the original bounty was 15 million Bailey, but now it has been increased to 25 million Bailey. Hundreds' Chloe, the original bounty of 16 million Baileys has now been raised to 26 million Baileys. ”

"'Joker' Bucky, the original bounty of 25 million Bailey, is now increased to 45 million Bailey."

"'Hades of the Deep' David Jones, the original bounty of 50 million Bailey, is now increased to 80 million Bailey!"

"In any case, the justice we represent must defeat the evil represented by the pirates! That's all for this meeting, adjourned! ”

The crowd was also shocked at the frequency of the Davy Jones and gang's bounty increases, and the Sengoku Marshal announced the dissolution of the meeting and hung up the phone.

They had no choice but to leave the meeting in confusion.

The rat, who was already unable to get up, was dragged away by the two naval soldiers, receiving the disgusted gaze of everyone.
