While Shanks and the others arrived at the World Government World Government to negotiate with its officials, Zesi returned to Hachinosu. "Should Shanks handle the negotiations?"
"Yes, but recent signs suggest that the World Government seems to have its eye on Shanks!" Spencer said.
" The World Government has its eye on Shanks?" Zesi asked, puzzled.
"Yes, although the negotiations had some twists and turns, they went smoothly overall. But for some reason, the World Government kept wasting time on trivial matters, as if they were stalling for time or testing something Benn Beckman First Division called to say that Shanks seems to be being targeted by the Navy, and he even fought with Thunder Python yesterday. However, it seems that the other side is mainly testing us now."
"Is that so? It seems the World Government has seen Shanks ' potential. That's a bit troublesome, but it's alright. Order the Third Division and Fourth Division to assemble and conduct naval training. Make a scene for me, and I'll handle the rest!" Zesi said.
Just in case, Zesi ordered the Third Division and Fourth Division to assemble for a large-scale naval exercise.
Zesi then left Hachinosu.
The G-1 Branch of the Marine Headquarters is a major division of the Navy in the New World.
It is also currently the Navy's only large branch in the New World.
After establishing a foothold in the New World, the military did not continue to expand, but instead reclaimed its other major divisions.
Firstly, although the Navy launched a counterattack on the New World, the situation New World remained chaotic, and the Navy dared not disperse its forces too much.
Secondly, after Zesi returned to the world, voices expressed the hope that all parties in the New World, including the Navy, would exercise restraint in order to maintain the stability of the New World.
In addition to some other reasons.
Therefore, the navy did not immediately expand on a large scale.
Of course, they have already established small bases in some World Government Member States.
Those small bases are not important; their main purpose is to guard against small pirate crews.
"I heard that the Red Line was cleaved in two by the Azure Emperor's sword, and now the New World can directly connect to the first half of the Grand Line!" In the G-1 Branch's mess hall, some naval officers were eating heartily while discussing something.
"That's the Red Line! It was cleaved in two with a single sword strike. The Azure Emperor is truly terrifying!"
" The World Government is currently negotiating with the Azure Emperor Pirates regarding the ownership of Azure Dragon Pass. However, I doubt it. Given the Azure Emperor's domineering nature, it will be difficult for the World Government to seize Azure Dragon Pass from Azure Emperor!"
"Furthermore, Azure Dragon Pass was originally established by the Azure Emperor, so the World Government would have little reason to claim it."
"What are you talking about? That's near Mary Geoise, the World Government's headquarters. How can we allow others to sleep soundly right next to our bed? Besides, it's far from the Azure Emperor Territory. Unless the Azure Emperor or Bullet personally garrison it, the World Government can wipe out their personnel at any time."
"Wouldn't that mean we'd be going to war with the Azure Emperor?"
"A war with the Azure Emperor?" a naval officer exclaimed, his face turning pale.
The others also fell silent, even though they were all valiant naval soldiers.
However, the thought of going to war with the Azure Emperor Pirates and the Azure Emperor made them hesitate.
The Azure Emperor once wiped out a large fleet led by Fleet Admiral Kong in one fell swoop.
That battle even resulted in the death of Fleet Admiral and the heavy casualties of 100,000 elite naval troops.
Some of the naval personnel present were also from that battle.
That power to stir up the sea and unleash tsunamis is still vivid in their minds, and has even become a recurring nightmare for them.
"Hmph, just a pirate. Look how scared you are. With the Navy's massive power, do you think we're afraid of a mere pirate?"
"Exactly! The Navy now has Fleet Admiral Sengoku, two Admiral, and Vice Admiral Garp. Are we afraid of him?!"
"What happened when Big Mom and Kaido of the Beasts attacked the G-1 Branch simultaneously Four Emperors time? Big Mom is still unconscious!"
"If you ask me, our navy should use Thunderbolt force to wipe out the Azure Emperor Pirates and the Azure Emperor Territory, and not let them grow stronger again!"
Some of the newly drafted naval officers were quite disdainful...
They felt that the Navy had won both of their previous battles against two Four Emperors- level pirate crews.
This made them think that even the Four Emperors were nothing special.
With the Navy's current strength, what is there to fear even if they face the Azure Emperor Pirates?
I think those former Marine Headquarters officers were really too cowardly.
Hearing their mockery, the former Marine Headquarters officers became displeased.
The two sides immediately started arguing.
The surrounding navy officers looked around but didn't seem to care.
This happens several times a day.
Ultimately, the reason is that the two navies are not on good terms and need to work on their relationship.
But they're all in the navy, so after they fight a few times, they'll be fighting comrades again tomorrow.
Therefore, the naval officers did not stop it when they saw it.
Men's friendships can be strengthened during battles.
Meanwhile, in the senior officers' conference room at G-1 Fortress.
All the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, including Sakazuki, broke out in a cold sweat.
They stared in shock at the person who had appeared before them. "How did you get here?"
" The Azure Emperor!" Sakazuki said, looking at the person in front of him.
The person who appeared before everyone was Zesi.
"Heh heh heh, I'm getting a little impatient with the negotiations up in Mary Geoise, so I'd like to ask you guys to help urge things on!" "Also, tell those five old men not to try anything funny if they want to start a full-scale war." Zesi said with a faint smile.
