A few days later.
"Do you know what you are doing?"
A roar came from the anti-grass special secret office!
As the general leader of the anti-grass special team - Fleet Admiral Sengoku, at this time, he slapped the documents in his hand on the table with an angry look.
Then he looked at the four people in front of him and slammed the table angrily, "Look what you have done? In just a few days, you have captured so many sailors?"
"Can one Land of Grass rebel against so many Navy Headquarters marines in such a short period of time? What do you think of Navy Headquarters's justice?"
"This is simply humiliating!"
"If Garp hadn't suddenly made a big fuss, I wouldn't have known about it until now!"
As he spoke, he opened one of the documents, glared at the four people in front of him, and with a 'pop' sound, he pointed his right index finger on the document.
"Look who you arrested? Garp! Lieutenant General Garp! Do you know what Lieutenant General Garp represents to the Navy? He is the hero of the Navy! Hero of the Navy, do you know how he got the title of hero? Even World Government doesn't dare to do this to him. Don't you think Navy Headquarters is not enough?"
However.
The words fell.
Facing the angry face of Warring States, Danzo, who had been prepared for a long time, stood up without any panic, looked at Fleet Admiral Sengoku in front of him calmly, and said, "The operation was authorized by Gorosei! It is a legal and compliant operation, and in order to ensure the confidentiality of the operation and prevent the news from leaking, we did not tell you!"
"Legal and compliant? Authorized by Gorosei?" Hearing Danzo's words, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's face became even more gloomy. "Then tell me now... Gorosei gave you the power just to let you use it to slander your colleagues? Tell me why you arrested people without evidence?"
"Although we do have no evidence, we are doing this to ensure that no Land of Grass spies sneak in and prevent the operation from being exposed!" Danzo looked at Warring States with a righteous face, shook his head, and said with emotion.
"Think about it... if Land of Grass spy jumped out at a critical moment, how harmful it would be to us?! So..."
With a righteous tone, "We must eliminate the possibility of this danger as soon as possible!"
But this kind of words...
"It's ridiculous! There's no evidence? And what's the harm? These are things that have never happened before. Don't you scaremongering in front of me?" Warring States rowed the tables again without hesitation and glared at the four people in front of him.
"Arresting your colleagues just because of some unreasonable things? Do you really think that such a thing will happen?!"
"..."X4
"Originally I thought there was justice in your hearts, but now I am very disappointed in you. What's wrong? Now you don't dare to speak? Are you silent? Are you aware of your fear? Keep talking to me!"
Eventually.
"Cough cough cough!" Facing the roaring Warring States Period, Minister Root - Danzo still sighed and stood up with a cane in both hands.
Then after pretending to cough twice, he said with a serious face, "Although... such a thing has indeed not happened yet, but we are doing this to prevent such a thing from happening. After all, once it happens, I believe you should also know how harmful it will be to Navy Headquarters and World Government!"
With a decisive tone, "Once it really happens, it will be too late! World Government is working on a secret weapon, and you also know it. If Land of Grass knows about this... then you can imagine what will happen!"
Having said this, he sighed with emotion and shook his head, "I am doing this all for Navy Headquarters~"
Looking deeply at Warring States, "I thought you would understand us! Fleet Admiral Sengoku~"
As soon as these words fell.
Suddenly.
"..."
Warring States also fell silent.
He also knows the dangers of spies~
There are indeed many secrets in Navy Headquarters and World Government, secrets that can even subvert the sea.
Just look at the Ohara incident and you will know that it was ordered to be destroyed by World Government because he knew too much.
Once a spy is infiltrated and the secret is exposed, the harm will be very great indeed!
And just as Lieutenant General Danzo said just now, World Government is conducting secret research in secret. This is also very important for the next fight against Land of Grass, and it must not be exposed like this!
But...
This is the case with spies!
Now there is no evidence at all. If you are just messing around like this, is it because you think Navy Headquarters is not messy enough?
He sighed and said, "You will cause the navy to fall into chaos!"
"It's just a little labor pain!" Danzo said righteously, "If we can prevent Land of Grass spy from sneaking in, it will be worth it!"
"... If you catch the wrong person then, your consequences will be very bad!"
"For Navy Headquarters..." Danzo said without hesitation, "I would not regret dying!"
These words.
This tone.
This look.
"?!"
Warring States fell silent again. Looking at Danzo who stood proudly and independently in front of him and said this without any hesitation, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Although Danzo went a little too far this time, but... I have to say that everything he did was for Navy Headquarters!
Even if it means sacrificing your own reputation!
only.
He sighed again, "Although I can understand you, Garp he..."
"I know that Garp's identity is extraordinary, and he also made contributions to World Government!" Danzo interrupted him directly, shook his head, and took out a document from his arms.
"But his suspicion is also very high. Today's Land of Grass island is his former hometown. I also found out that his grandson is now working in Land of Grass, and another grandson who has no blood relationship with him is a pirate. At the same time, this pirate's identity is the grandson of Pirate King!
If I remember correctly, World Government ordered the arrest of that child back then! And what about him? "
He spread out the document and slapped it directly on the table.
"What is this? This is simply a blatant disobedience to World Government's orders! I also heard that when the pirate Ace was captured, he ignored the navy's regulations and caused a scene in Navy Headquarters. Look~, it's true that he has merit! But this is no reason for him to ignore World Government's orders."
"Today he dares to cause trouble at the Navy Headquarters for his grandson, and tomorrow he dares to betray the Navy Headquarters for his grandson, and secretly embezzles public funds to buy donuts. What else he will dare to do in the future... I can't even imagine it!"
"... Exaggerated! Exaggerated!" Warring States looked at Gen's investigation of Garp on the table, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Isn't this... just established not long ago?
How come it was even found out that Garp secretly asked the logistics department to buy donuts?!
This is amazing!
He pretended to cough twice, "Although Lieutenant General Garp has some bad habits, I can be sure that he will not betray Navy Headquarters. After all, he is a hero of the navy!"
As he said that, he looked at Danzo in front of him who seemed to want to say something else, and said quickly.
"Let's put aside the matter of Lieutenant General Garp for now. He is indeed suspected, but..." He turned to the next page and pointed at the young man with silver hair and a gentle smile.
As if he had gained confidence again, he stared at Danzo again and said seriously, "What's going on with this kid, Major General Kabuto?"
"..."
