The Navy really was a strange organization. Traitors—or people who left because they could no longer see eye to eye with it—had appeared in every era. It was a subject that never went away.
Loa had no interest in digging into when it had first started. Even looking only at the tumultuous Great Pirates Era, the twenty years since Roger's death, the Navy had suffered three major betrayals.
And that was counting only Marine Headquarters, not any of its branches.
In terms of impact, first place was beyond dispute.
