Devil Fruits in Hand, Garp, Do You Even Have Me in Your Eyes?

Could it be that Garp and Zefa were just sitting around doing nothing?

The Five Elders responded with another round of mockery, leaving Kong with a terrible headache. He could only explain slowly.

My lords, you all know about Zephyr and Garp. Zephyr is only a Marine instructor now, while Garp is such a scatterbrain. Though he has the strength, there are times when even we cannot command him. The Five Elders had long known this. Although Garp and Zefa both possessed Admiral-level strength, their tempers were far too stubborn, which gave them quite the headache. In the end, they simply let them do as they pleased.

Kong, are you saying you still do not want to be promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Entire Army?

The Five Elders had actually always wanted to promote Kong to Commander-in-Chief of the Entire Army. Not only did Kong possess strength and intelligence, but most importantly, he was obedient. Especially regarding the CP organization—they had long wanted someone to manage it on their behalf. Every major and minor matter within CP had to be reported to them. As a spy intelligence organization, it gathered far too much information every day, and they had long since grown sick of dealing with it.

Who were they? How could they be bothered with such trivial matters?

And Kong was the perfect candidate.

Seeing that the moment seemed right, Kong immediately put on an act.

My lords, I truly apologize, but I simply cannot put my mind at ease.

My lords, just look at it. Golden Lion's attack on Marineford alone caused us grievous casualties. If the remaining Sea Emperors joined forces, I cannot even imagine what would happen!

I only hope my lords can understand. Everything is for the stability and peace of the seas.
