"Fleet Admiral Kuzan!"
"Mm!"
Seeing that the Land of Grass Navy still saluted him so respectfully, Kuzan finally let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed...
It was not as he had imagined!
At the very least, these people still appeared to obey his orders!
Come to think of it, he and old man Sengoku... had always communicated one-on-one.
And they had used anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi!
It was not strange for the Land of Grass to guess that he was an undercover agent, but there was no way they could have known about such secret communications and their plans!
Could it be...
That spies had infiltrated the Navy as well?
And that one of those spies had even joined the Anti-Grass Special Task Force?
No matter how he looked at it, that was impossible!
After all, the Anti-Grass Special Task Force only had a few people. Aside from Rear Admiral Danzo and the other three, who had only recently joined, the rest were Navy personnel whose backgrounds were well known.
And Rear Admiral Danzo...
If he truly were a Land of Grass spy, why would he work so diligently to help the Navy oppose the Land of Grass? And why would he have dug such a massive pit for the Land of Grass this time?
Kuzan swept his gaze around. After noticing Issho sitting quietly to the side and Kisame Hoshigaki wearing an indifferent expression, he looked back at the Land of Grass Navy before him. "What are you doing here?"
"Reporting to Fleet Admiral Kuzan... setting up camp!"
"There is still some distance left to our destination. Why are you setting up camp here?"
"Because... it is safe?"
"..."
Safe...
They had specifically come out for live combat training, to capture pirates. Their destination was still so far
