Judge's Call

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zephyr had arrived at the branch where Dalmatian was located, and Dalmatian was reporting to him on the situation of the Tokikake branch.

"As expected... he still couldn't escape!"

Zephyr's expression was extremely grim, but he seemed to have expected it all along. He wasn't surprised at all that Tokikake and Yukimura had been defeated by Cavendish.

It's not surprising that the Marine 33rd Branch was occupied.

What puzzled him was that Cavendish had somehow managed to get Tokikake and Yukimura, just like Bastille, to join his ranks.

He simply couldn't understand how Cavendish had managed it.

Moreover, Bastille, Tokikake, and Yukimura successively joined his ranks.

Cavendish's strength is already quite considerable. With such strength, he could establish himself as a powerful figure in the New World. Of course, he is still far from being comparable to the Pirate Emperor.

However, as long as you don't provoke the Pirate Emperor.

Even in a chaotic New World, one can thrive.

Dalmatian: "Teacher, what should we do now? Should we launch a counterattack?"

At this moment, he was somewhat impatient.

With the two major branches occupied, the Navy's position in the North Blue was already precarious. If it weren't for Zephyr's arrival, which temporarily intimidated everyone, the situation would have been very difficult.

I'm afraid North Blue is already in complete chaos by now.

The remaining naval branches will also be breached one by one. After all, the navy has 113 branches in the North Blue, and these 113 branches represent 113 small islands.

Some of these are quite prosperous islands.

While not at the kingdom level, there are still many at the town level. These are nothing special in the eyes of the major kingdoms.

But in the eyes of other forces, those were pieces of fat meat!

Who wouldn't dare take a bite?

Those pirate crews, if they occupied one or two small islands, could easily grow and expand...

It wasn't just them; the morale of the Marine Branch was also wavering. Therefore, a victory was needed to boost morale.

Only in this way can North Blue be restored to its former state.

Zephyr could easily understand what Dalmatian was thinking, and it wasn't just Dalmatian thought this way.

The same applies to Ain, Binz, Shuzo.

The three of them were now looking at Zephyr, waiting for Zephyr to make a decision.

Zephyr frowned slightly. Yes... this was indeed the only way to do it... but he still felt something was off.

However, for a moment, he didn't know what was wrong.

After careful consideration, he said, "Alright then! Binz, come with me to retake Marine 33rd Branch first. Ain and Shuzo, you two stay here and assist Dalmatian in defending this last of the three major branches in the North Blue. There absolutely cannot be any more accidents, otherwise even I will be unable to restore the morale of the North Blue Navy."

Ain, Binz, Shuzo exchanged a glance, then said in unison, "It's Teacher Zephyr."

"Very good!"

Dalmatian was overjoyed. In his view, as long as Zephyr made a move, Cavendish would be no problem at all.

After all, Zephyr is a veteran Admiral.

As for the Admiral, he has to be one of the navy's highest combat power!

What's so special about a tiny Cavendish?

"Brubru..."

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on the table next to Dalmatian rang.

"Brush..."

Dalmatian, Ain, Binz, Shuzo, and Zephyr all looked over.

At this point in time...

Zephyr: "It should be the Sengoku!"

Dalmatian, Ain, Binz, Shuzo all nodded in agreement; they thought so too, and were probably just asking if Zephyr had arrived yet.

"Card..."

Zephyr picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered it.

But, to everyone's surprise, the caller wasn't Sengoku at all. The Den Den Mushi had transformed into Judge's appearance. "Moshi moshi, this is Judge from Germa 66. Are you Vice Admiral Dalmatian?"

"Ah?"

Zephyr was also greatly surprised by the differences between Dalmatian, Ain, Binz, and Shuzo.

They simply couldn't understand what it meant for Germa 66 to call at this time.

After all, everyone knows that although Germa 66 is Affiliated Nation of the World Government, it is one of the most unstable factors in the North Blue.

They all had a bad feeling.

However, what Judge said next caught them all off guard.

Judge, "As Affiliated Nation of the World Government, we are allies with your Navy. Therefore, Germa 66 is willing to lend a helping hand in the trouble you've encountered this time."

The group was shocked, and also very surprised and confused.

Zephyr gave Dalmatian a wink, and Dalmatian immediately understood. Zephyr didn't want Judge to know for the time being that he had arrived at his branch.

So he immediately took the Den Den Den Mushi: "I've been in North Blue for several years now, do you think I don't know what kind of person you are, Judge?"

Judge laughed upon hearing this, "Hahaha... Don't misunderstand. I, Judge, wasn't a good person before, I'm not now, and I certainly won't be in the future. Of course, there are conditions for helping you this time."

Dalmatian, Zephyr, Ain, Binz, Shuzo all thought to themselves, "Just as I expected..."

Dalmatian: "Then tell me, what are your conditions?"

Judge laughed, "Four kingdoms... I want four kingdoms."

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

They actually want kingdoms, and four of them at once! What does this guy think kingdoms are? Besides, although the East Blue is vast, there are only about twenty kingdoms.

One-fifth of it will be gone in one go.

That's outrageous!

Zephyr, Ain, Binz, and Shuzo exchanged glances; it was clear that Judge was trying to take advantage of the situation.

But will he allow it?

Absolutely impossible!

Otherwise, would they still be considered a navy?

Judge, as if he had anticipated this, immediately added, "Of course, I'm not asking for this for nothing. First, Germa 66 will send troops to help you reclaim a branch. This is Germa 66's way of expressing our sincerity."

Secondly, I have another crucial piece of information. This information concerns the future situation of the entire North Blue. It's truly worth the four kingdoms... Moreover, after these four kingdoms give us Germa 66, the taxes they pay to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons' Heavenly Tribute will only increase, not decrease, compared to before...

So, think about it carefully!

"Major intelligence concerning the future of the entire North Blue?"

Dalmatian, Ain, Binz, Shuzo, Zephyr exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock. They simply couldn't fathom what kind of intelligence this was.

Is it enough to influence the future of the entire North Blue?
