Chapter 1776 The Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea (7)
This is also the reason why scientists from all over the world basically choose to join those big forces.
After all, under the protection of big forces, they can not only obtain sufficient financial support, but also have a relatively safe research environment.
Now, relying on the strength and influence of Whitebeard II, Bakin has successfully obtained the status of Shichibukai.
This result put the Navy in an extremely embarrassing position because they were unable to take open action against Bakin and his accomplices.
This undoubtedly made the navy's top brass extremely angry.
As the supreme commander of the navy, Zhan Guo's anger can be imagined.
Without hesitation, he called the Five Elders and tried to express his dissatisfaction and protest to them.
However, the Five Elders were unusually indifferent to Warring States' call. They ignored Warring States' complaints and simply ordered Warring States to obey their decision.
This kind of ignored treatment made Zhan Guo furious, but he could do nothing about it.
After all, the Five Elders hold a vital position in the World Government, and their orders are almost impossible to disobey for the Navy.
The headquarters of the navy - Marinford, this naval base that was once severely damaged and almost shrunk by one third has now been rebuilt.
In the new marshal's office, Sengoku was arguing fiercely with the Five Elders.
He argued with reason and tried to persuade the Five Elders to change their minds, but the only response he got was a cold sentence: "This is an order."
After saying that, the Five Elders hung up the phone mercilessly, leaving Zhan Guo alone in the office, with nowhere to vent his anger.
He could only sit back in his position as marshal dejectedly, his heart filled with helplessness and resentment.
"The Navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the World Government!"
Zhan Guo muttered to himself, the relationship between these three made him feel extremely entangled.
"No, there is only one spot left among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the last spot must belong to Law!"
Sengoku suddenly thought of Law, the pirate he had always been optimistic about.
In fact, Sengoku has been thinking about this issue ever since he learned that the World Government was openly recruiting pirates on the sea to become the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Zhan Guo has always had a special feeling and expectation for Luo.
He always hoped to save Law from the path of pirates and bring him back to the right path.
At the beginning, Zhan Guo told him the truth about Rossinandi's death in order to enable Luo to break free from the shackles of the Rockefeller Kingdom and walk out of that dark world.
Sengoku hopes that Luo can inherit Rosinante's will and become a righteous navy.
However, when Sengoku learned that Law had come out of the Rockefeller Kingdom, he did not come to find him as he wished, but instead chose another path - to establish the Heart Pirates and become a pirate.
This news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zhan Guo, and he felt extremely disappointed.
Despite this, Zhan Guo did not give up his attention on Luo.
After all, Luo was the person whom Rosinante protected with his life, which made Zhan Guo always maintain a special attitude towards Luo.
In the process of dealing with Law, Sengoku always deliberately avoided direct conflicts with Law. Even at such a critical moment as the Battle of Marineford, he ordered Kizaru not to harm Law.
This order made Kizaru become timid in the battle because he knew how much Sengoku valued Law.
From this we can see how important Luo's position is in the hearts of the Warring States period.
Rather than saying that Zhan Guo was helping Luo, it would be more accurate to say that he was using this method to make up for his guilt towards Rosinante.
For many years, Zhan Guo has been brooding over the death of Rocinante.
He had no children in his life, and Rocinante was his only adopted son. They had a deep father-son relationship.
The departure of Rosinante became an eternal pain in Zhan Guo's heart, and his special care for Luo might be a way for him to heal his inner pain.
"Let me help you one last time!"
Sengoku held the Den Den Mushi tightly in his hand, as if it was the only link between the past and the present.
His eyes were a little confused, and he didn't know whether this sentence was said to Luo, or to Luo Xinanti who had passed away many years ago.
Zhan Guo took a deep breath and dialed Luo's number.
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone, as if the caller was waiting for the other party to answer.
At the same time, on the fifth route, the Heart Pirates were engaged in a fierce battle with an approaching pirate ship.
Luo stood at the bow, holding his signature wrecker in his hand, but did not make a move.
He watched his men fighting the enemy quietly, with no expression on his face.
Suddenly, a rapid ringing of bells broke the noise of the battlefield.
Luo frowned slightly, he turned to look at the Den Den Mushi beside him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He was somewhat surprised by the call.
After hesitating for a moment, Luo slowly reached out and picked up the Den Den Mushi.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
Luo's voice was calm, without any emotional fluctuations, as if the call was just an ordinary interruption to him.
On the other end of the phone, Sengoku's voice came clearly: "Luo, you have seen today's newspaper, right? Kidd and Whitebeard II have become Shichibukai. With this status, the navy cannot attack them. Now there is only one spot left in Shichibukai, I hope you can fight for it!"
Zhan Guo's tone was direct and decisive, not leaving Luo much time to think.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Luo said this calmly, as if he didn't take the Seven Warlords of the Sea seriously at all.
He had only one thought in his mind, which was to find Doflamingo and take revenge on him.
However, he also knew clearly that with his current strength, he was far from being a match for Doflamingo.
During the Battle of Marineford, Law personally felt the huge gap between himself and Doflamingo.
It was an unbridgeable gap, which made him realize that if he wanted to take revenge, he must constantly improve his strength.
Therefore, apart from the pursuit of power, Luo has almost no interest in other things.
In his world, there was only hatred for Doflamingo and a desire for strength.
However, Luo's attitude seemed to anger Zhan Guo.
Sengoku roared in anger: "Are you planning to be a pirate for the rest of your life? Are you worthy of Rosinante?"
Hearing the name "Rosinante", Luo's expression suddenly became a little dazed.
This name means a lot to him because it is the name of a man who has always taken care of him and protected him with his life - Mr. Corazon.
