As Zephyr said, when he decided to lead the students to quit Navy Headquarters and go against World Government, it was impossible for them to come back.
And as World Government who rules this sea, it is impossible for Zephyr to do nothing after they come back.
If this is the case, what should other navies do if they follow suit?
Defected without any punishment?!
At that time, what face will World Government have to rule this sea?
Even if Zephyr finally expresses his repentance to World Government, World Government's trip to the military court is inevitable.
And by then... Zephyr may not be punished too much because of his past achievements and status, but the group of students who defected with him may not be so lucky.
Therefore, leaving is indeed the best choice for them!
And Edward Weibull... if Zephyr comes back, we won't be able to take action against him.
After all, that is the King Shichibukai who was just chosen by World Government!
It didn't take long. If he was killed by the navy like this, wouldn't it be a slap in World Government's face?
Of course~
This is what I think as a former old friend.
But if you are Grand Inspector of the Navy, then you have to say... If Zephyr is sacrificed, Navy Headquarters and World Government are the best choices!
After all, Zephyr's identity is really special!
So, no surprise...
When Warring States returned to the navy and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Minister Anbu, who was solely responsible for the operation, Lieutenant General Danzo, came directly to him.
"Why didn't you kill him on the spot?"
Danzo, who has been promoted, seems to be much more confident. He is no longer as nervous as when he first came to the navy, and looks directly at Warring States in front of him with a serious face.
"You should know how important his identity is! Especially to the navy, once the navy discovers that he has defected to our enemy Land of Grass, how great will it be in Navy Headquarters?!"
"I know! But I can only say sorry!" Warring States sighed, "The situation at that time was too special. Land of Grass was over there. I must be wary of those crazy people really messing around, and World Government has also issued a notice."
Shaking his head, "We are not allowed to have any conflict with Land of Grass now, so we couldn't move at all at that time..."
However.
The words are not finished yet.
A cold voice sounded.
"Do you not want to kill, or do you have no chance?"
"?!"
Looking at Lieutenant General Danzo questioning him in front of him, the helpless Sengoku's face suddenly darkened. He slammed the table and said, "Lieutenant General Danzo, are you questioning me?"
"Zephyr's identity is really too special. For Navy Headquarters and World Government, he must die!" As for his current status, as the minister of Anbu, he is on par with Danzo from the Warring States Period to a certain extent. This time, he did not give in at all and still said seriously.
"According to my speculation at that time, if General Kuzan hidden in Land of Grass took the opportunity to take action, you would have a very good chance of killing Zephyr..."
Nothing more.
This time it was Danzo's turn and he didn't finish speaking.
Warring States directly interrupted Danzo, still looking at Danzo with a gloomy face, "You should know that Kuzan has other tasks!"
"His lurking is so obvious! I believe you also know...Land of Grass has already guessed his identity~"
Facing the Warring States Period, whose tone became more gloomy, Danzo still showed no fear and said calmly, "If it weren't for Land of Grass's ulterior conspiracy, I now doubt whether General Kuzan really took refuge in Land of Grass!"
"That's enough! General Kuzan will not betray Navy Headquarters easily!" Warring States slammed the table and stared at Danzo in front of him, "As partners of justice, we should not question our comrades!"
"Then... at this critical moment, as a member of the navy, it should be his turn to sacrifice!"
"Lieutenant General Danzo!" After hearing Danzo's gloomy words, Warring States eyes narrowed again, with a heavy tone, "The word [sacrifice] is not so easy to say, not to mention that General Kuzan was also handed over by Zephyr! You should not say such words!"
"I'm doing this all for World Government!"
"Then you should believe in Kuzan, just like I believe in him!"
"No! I believe my judgment on Land of Grass even more! Those guys are definitely more terrifying than you and I imagined! What's more, if you really believe in him, you should give an order for him to take action, and then directly blame Land of Grass for killing Marine Admiral and the chief naval instructor! Instead of leaving a hidden danger to Navy Headquarters like now!"
"Shut up, I will take charge of this matter and explain it to World Government myself!" Warring States looked a little ugly, but he still took a deep breath and looked at Lieutenant General Danzo in front of him who seemed to be exuding a strange aura. "Also, Lieutenant General Danzo, I am the person in charge of the anti-grass campaign!"
The words fell.
"..."
After hearing what Sengoku said, Danzo fell silent for some reason, but looking at the serious face of Sengoku in front of him, he also understood... now is not the time to really have a stalemate with the navy veteran.
After letting out a long sigh, he said calmly, "You will regret it!"
With that said, he walked outside step by step on crutches!
Until... he closed the door smoothly, but did not leave directly.
Instead, he stopped outside the door, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time.
Hiruzen, who have been inseparable since they came to the navy, saw Danzo like this, and walked up curiously, asking, "How is it? With this expression... Could it be that Land of Grass is causing some big trouble again?"
The words fell.
After hearing Hiruzen's words, Danzo also came back to his senses. He looked at Hiruzen who was sitting in a wheelchair next to him. After a complicated look flashed through his eyes, he shook his head, "Not yet! It's just..."
He sighed, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"Looks like our plans have to change again!"
Believe it?
That's because you don't know how scary Land of Grass is!
If this continues... Even if Navy Headquarters is full of thieves tomorrow, he won't doubt it!
"Warring States, Garp, Zephyr..."
A trace of melancholy flashed by!
[This is all for World Government!]
And the other side.
After Lieutenant General Danzo left, Warring States sighed helplessly, shook his head, and then his face was also full of despair.
Don't trust anyone?!
Is this the so-called person who carries darkness?
Of course~
He was not angry at Lieutenant General Danzo.
After all, he also knew that Lieutenant General Danzo was really good for Navy Headquarters.
I have to say that it is indeed a good idea to let Kuzan kill Zephyr and then put the blame on Land of Grass.
but.
After all, he still couldn't bear it!
After all, no matter what, Zephyr has been his comrade for many years and has been with him through life and death for so long!
Yes, he actually still has some selfish intentions in his heart.
And this time is not an opportunity!
Maybe Zephyr can take this opportunity to really sneak into Land of Grass and have a round of cooperation with Kuzan!
You must know that this is different from Kuzan at that time. This time World Government really abandoned Zephyr!
Kuzan At that time... it was indeed a bit obvious.
And as long as it succeeds, Zephyr and his students can directly take the blame and return to World Government.
only.
He still believes in what Kuzan said!
Kuzan has his own justice in his heart and will never betray World Government easily!
"Speaking of which, why do these two people suddenly suspect each other? Everyone is obviously doing it for Navy Headquarters!"
Warring States rubbed his forehead helplessly, looked at Den Den Mushi at his hand, and thought for a while not to contact Zephyr, lest he be discovered by Land of Grass later.
But then I remembered Beasts Pirates, hesitated for a moment, took Den Den Mushi directly, dialed a number, and said calmly, "Shanks..."
As he spoke, he seemed to notice something was wrong on the other side, so he stopped, frowned slightly, and asked in a slightly doubtful tone, "What happened to you over there?"
"Hahaha, eh? It's the Warring States Period! What's wrong with me?" Red-Haired Den Den Mushi, who had three scars on his face, let out a cheerful voice, "It's nothing, he's just wanted by Land of Grass!"
The words fell.
"?!"
Land of Grass?
Sengoku's expression suddenly changed, with a gloomy tone, "Land of Grass came to your side and took action against your pirate group?"
Another Sea Emperor?
So what exactly does Land of Grass want to do?
Disturbing the entire sea and diverting the navy's attention?
Just when he was about to ask about the situation on the other side.
After hearing what Warring States just said, Red-Haired Den Den Mushi seemed a little confused and said, "Come to our side? Well, that's not the case, it's just that we arrived at the East China Sea..."
"East China Sea? What are you doing over there now?" Warring States was stunned, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "So, it's not that Land of Grass declared war on another Sea Emperor, but that you arrived at Land of Grass's territory and were discovered by Land of Grass.
Then, Land of Grass took action against you? That's right, you are all a group of pirates after all, and you have entered Land of Grass's territory. It is perfectly normal for Land of Grass to attack you! Then you still said that you did not declare war? "
He said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"This has already begun! Why hasn't war been declared yet?"
"A fight? There's no fight! Land of Grass didn't declare war on us either~"
"We didn't start a fight. Didn't you say that Land of Grass has launched a wanted arrest against you?"
"Oh, that's right, it's just wanted! This doesn't mean..." After hearing Warring States' inquiry, Red-Haired Den Den Mushi seemed to smile a little sheepishly, "Declare war!"
"There is no declaration of war? Then why did Land of Grass launch a wanted search for you? Captain Shanks, this matter is very important. If possible, for the sake of Gorosei, please tell me the situation immediately!"
"Okay! I don't know for sure, but it seems like... illegal entry, driving on the wrong side of the road, running a red light, and a hit and run!"
"???"
