Chapter 231 Death News

Raleigh, Jabba, Sol.

These three are all remnants of the Roger Pirates.

But in terms of the meaning of execution, it is not as good as Whitebeard, who has died in battle, and Ace, the bloodline fire fist left by Roger.

That being said, if Rayleigh, Jabba, and Sol were publicly executed, it would still have a deterrent effect on this sea.

That's what public executions are all about.

But the problem is-

There is an inseparable bond between these three and Maud.

If the Navy Headquarters decides to publicly execute the three Rayleighs, it will inevitably lead to a massive attack from Maud.

Even the Four Emperors Red Hair would not sit idly by.

In this way, the Navy Headquarters can only gather troops from all over the world again, or launch a world conscription, in order to prepare for an all-out attack by the Maud Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates.

With the advantage of the location and the people, the naval headquarters is confident that all the enemies, including the Maud Pirates, will be solved together in the public execution.

But if even the Red Hair Pirates were involved, the results would be hard to say.

Even if they could win, it would be a tragic victory that the Navy Headquarters would never accept.

As a matter of fact, since the end of the Marin Vando war, what the Navy Headquarters should do now is to restore its vitality as soon as possible and accumulate strength that can continue to maintain stability.

It would be unwise to provoke the hostility of the Maud Pirates and the Red-haired Pirates at this juncture.

Not to mention, Maud holds the life-and-death switch of the three Draconians.

Therefore, even if Akainu decides to eliminate criminals at all costs, I am afraid it will not get the support of the World Government.

at this point……

"You should know that too, Sakaski."

Tsuruaka raised his eyelids, looked at the expressionless Akainu on the main seat, and muttered to himself.

Forced by the situation, there are not many choices for Rayleigh, Jabba, and Sol.

And Akainu threw this issue at this meeting,

Undoubtedly, it shows that he wants to take a risk.

The Warring States period was seated beside Lieutenant General He, and his thoughts were basically the same as those of Lieutenant General He.

"Since the news of the arrest of Rayleigh, Jabba, and Sol has been completely suppressed, there is no need to make more troubles, as long as they are secretly thrown into prison."

While the others were temporarily silent, Sengoku, a former admiral of the navy, made the gentlest and most prudent proposal.

Hearing Sengoku's proposal, Akainu's expression did not change at all.

Even if he has slightly restrained his previous extreme style of acting after taking up the post of Marshal, there is no way for him to listen to the relatively mild proposal of the Warring States Period.

Akainu did not express his position directly, but waited for the opinions of others.

"I think the Chief Inspector is right, as long as these three people are secretly detained in prison, after all, these three people have a relatively close relationship with the Maud Pirates and the Red-haired Pirates. if……"

"It's good to have concerns, but to overdo it is to back down."

"Back off? Then you mean to make this public? Then lead to the crusade of the Maud Pirates and the Red-haired Pirates?"

"Why not? Since we can defeat the Whitebeard Pirates in the Marin Fando war, we can also defeat the Morde Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates!"

"Idiot, it looks like you have muscles in your head."

"What did you say?!"

After just a few words, the admirals quarreled tit-for-tat during the banquet.

With your words and my words, soon, the room was divided into two distinct factions.

One side advocates radical, the other side advocates conservative.

Looking at the colleagues who were arguing fiercely below, Akainu remained expressionless and listened to everyone in silence.

Lieutenant General Crane did not participate in the quarrel, just like Akainu, quietly watching.

After everyone had almost vented their emotional statements, Lieutenant General Crane reminded him aloud:

"The identities of Rayleigh, Jabba, and Sol are more sensitive. How to deal with them is another matter, but don't forget that Maud holds the life and death of the three Dragons in his hands."

"..."

Hearing Lieutenant General Crane's reminder, the colleagues who held different opinions later realized this important matter that they had ignored.

But after a few breaths, the room was quiet.

At this moment, Akainu finally spoke.

"It depends... whether the other party attaches more importance to the safety of the 'hostage', or we attach more importance to the safety of the 'hostage', whichever loses its calm first will lose the first opportunity."

"So, what are you going to do?"

Admiral Crane looked at Akainu with a calm expression.

Akainu took a deep breath, the flame at the end of the cigar suddenly lit up, and thick smoke came out of his mouth and nose.

"You are the general staff, and I want to hear your opinion first."

"..."

Hearing that, Lieutenant General He was silent for a while, his eyes were lowered, and his face showed a thoughtful look.

Everyone in the field could not help but look at Lieutenant General Crane who was thinking.

A few seconds later, Admiral Crane looked up at Akainu, and said, "While Reilly, Jabba, and Sol are being held in secret, announce to the world the 'death news' that the three of them were defeated by Barrett and died."

"Um!?"

Akainu's brows moved without a trace, while the others were slightly startled.

And Lieutenant General Crane, who made this suggestion, had a calm expression on his face.

Sengoku glanced at Lieutenant General Crane beside him, pinched his chin, and pondered the benefits of this proposal.

The fighting on the Chambord Islands was fierce, compared to the complete suppression of news...

Announcing the "death news" is not only more convincing, but also at the juncture of the Mord Pirates' declaration of war on BIGMOM and the beasts at the same time.

As a result, the already unstable situation in the new world should be turned into a mess.

Furthermore, no matter what kind of turmoil may arise, the navy, who is completely out of the way, is completely sitting on the sidelines and watching tigers fight, and even acts on the basis of opportunity.

"Instead of secretly sending the 'hostage' to BIGMOM and the beasts, so as to speed up the progress of the Mord Pirates' war with BIGMOM and the beasts, it may be safer to announce the 'death news' directly according to Crane's suggestion."

"In this way, at least we can ensure that we stay out of the way, and we won't get on fire."

Sengoku thought silently in his heart.

As long as the Maud Pirates and Barrett, BIGMOM, and one of the beasts are fighting fiercely, the navy who still holds the "hostage" can completely continue to fuel the flames according to the changes in the situation.

The problem is that--

As Akainu said just now, given the importance that Maud places on "hostages", will he lose his composure because of the "death news".

If so.

It was the result that the Navy Headquarters wanted to see most.
