Hearing Fleet Admiral Sengoku's words, Kuzan did not say anything immediately.
He understood that this matter... did sound rather unbelievable, but that was the truth. He had not concealed anything.
Everything he said was true.
Of course~
Not long after.
"I suspect this is only for show!"
Looking at Sengoku's Den Den Mushi, which seemed to want to say something but did not know how to say it, Kuzan sighed and continued, "Although the Land of Grass intends to have me form a navy belonging to the Land of Grass and has appointed me as the first Fleet Admiral, they do not truly trust me. They even assigned me an assistant! I suspect that guy... is someone the King of the Land of Grass sent to watch me!"
As soon as he said that.
Immediately.
Upon hearing Kuzan's words, Sengoku's Den Den Mushi visibly relaxed.
That was right!
A dignified Marine Admiral had suddenly joined the Land of Grass. How could he gain such trust from them without even doing anything?
If it were him...
He would not even feel secure sitting in that position without personally killing a Celestial Dragon!
"It seems they intend to make you a puppet Fleet Admiral. That way, they can use your status to drive a wedge into Navy Headquarters and recruit Marines from within! After all, no matter what, you were once a Marine Admiral of Navy Headquarters!"
Sengoku's Den Den Mushi became grave again. "Still, I never expected the Land of Grass to say such a thing. That is the position of Fleet Admiral! No matter what, it represents the authority of the Marines! Of course~, the fact that a mere East Blue nation dares to form a navy also shows the ambitions of the King of the Land of Grass!"
Sure
