Chapter 809: Turning against guests

...

"... Let's make it clear to our new marshal, the navy! Whose navy is it!!"

"boom!"

As soon as Saint Satan finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and then a tall figure wearing a cloak of justice strode in.

The old men in the conference room suddenly fell silent. The five of them looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed for being caught gossiping about someone behind their back.

The blond Five Elders took out his pocket watch and looked at it, cursing in his heart, "Didn't this bastard say on the phone that it would take at least half an hour to come here? How come he's here so quickly!"

How long has it been since?

Two and a half minutes?

Could it be that this guy had actually been squatting at the door and eavesdropping on their conversation?

"Ah! It's so tiring. My legs are weak after running all the way here."

Ajin didn't hesitate and walked straight to the sofa and sat down while speaking.

"Then, I wonder what important matters the five adults need to be instructed on?"

"Forehead…"

The five of them looked at each other and secretly discussed how to teach this disobedient young man a lesson!

Ajin looked at the curly-haired old man with a cane sitting opposite him and asked first.

"By the way, Saint Satan, what did you just ask me to figure out? I was a step late and didn't hear it clearly."

"Humph!"

Saint Satan was also stunned for two seconds before he reacted and said seriously.

"Since you didn't hear clearly, I'll say it again! I hope you can figure out how to be a Marine Admiral!"

Saint Satan pressed his crutch hard on the ground with his hand, poking a small hole in the floor tile next to his feet.

"Don't forget that the Navy is just an agency under the World Government! And we represent the highest authority of the World Government. Why didn't you strictly follow the orders we issued?!"

"Wait! You can say that I didn't do well enough? After all, this is my first time as a Marine Admiral, but you saying that I disobeyed the orders of the World Government is pure slander!"

Ajin retorted loudly.

"Haha, don't act aggrieved here. Slander us? Do you think we are all fools? Then why don't you tell me how you carried out the orders?"

"Okay, don't get so excited. Didn't you come here today just to explain these things to me in person?"

The five elders with long beards tried to stop the fight in a calm tone.

"Okay, let's do it one by one."

Saint Satan sat up straight and continued to question.

"After the Battle of Marineford, we immediately ordered your navy to dispatch troops to annihilate the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and capture the escaped Fire Fist Ace! We must not give them any chance to breathe and prevent the Whitebeard Pirates from making a comeback. But several months have passed. May I ask what you have done, Marshal Jin?"

"You're talking about this, but our navy has done a lot!"

Ah Jin leaned back on the sofa and said calmly.

"It is precisely because of our navy's relentless pursuit of the Whitebeard Pirates' remnants that they were forced to completely disintegrate and flee on their own."

"Now, the Whitebeard Pirates have disappeared from the sea. Isn't this an excellent fulfillment of the order to "prevent them from making a comeback"?"

"Haha, that's just far-fetched talk. It seems like you haven't captured any of the Whitebeard Pirates worth mentioning?"

Satan Saint didn't buy Ajin's argument at all.

"Isn't what I said the truth? If it weren't for our hard work, do you think the Whitebeard Pirates, those captains whose fathers died, and Ace the Fire Fist who was the fuse that caused the war, would be able to completely calm down like they are now? Are you kidding? I'm afraid they would have started to go crazy and take revenge on the Navy and the World Government!"

"this…"

The Five Elders looked at each other again, and they all felt that what Ajin said made sense, and for a moment they didn't know how to refute it.

"By the way, our navy has made an invaluable contribution to this matter. Since you just mentioned it, I have a list of promotions and rewards for the meritorious officers and soldiers in this mission. I have already arranged the promotions, but the rewards involve a large amount of money. I would like to trouble the Lord of Finance to approve it."

As Jin said this, he took out a folder from his pocket and placed it on the table, then pushed it towards Nasu Shoulangsheng and smiled.

"Of course, we will definitely take full responsibility for this matter! If the Whitebeard Pirates dare to cause trouble again, or if the CP department can find their whereabouts, our navy will definitely send troops to attack them immediately! We will completely eliminate them!"

"Hehe, except for the positions of admiral and above, ordinary promotions, demotions, rewards and punishments are internal affairs of your navy! You can arrange it yourself!"

The bald Five Elders used the handle of a knife to push the folder aside, and the meaning was very clear: the World Government would not pay for this!

"Let's not talk about the matter of wiping out the Whitebeard remnants for now!"

Although Saint Satan looked reluctant, he racked his brains to figure out the reason for the Whitebeard Pirates' series of abnormal behaviors, so he could only move on to the next question.

"Second, in order to deal with the increasingly chaotic situation on the sea and the hostile forces hidden in the dark, haven't we already issued an order to your navy to expand its forces as soon as possible, strengthen training, and strive to improve its overall combat effectiveness?"

"And you? Not only did you not do what we said, you even deliberately did the opposite! According to the reports we received, in the few months since you took office, the overall size of the navy has shrunk by nearly one-fifth. Whether it's the lower-level soldiers or the grassroots and mid-level generals, many of them have been sent to prison by you!"

Satan said with a wry smile.

"Haha, Marshal Jin, thanks to you, Impelton is bustling again! What on earth do you want to do?!"

"Hahaha, respected Five Elders, don't you really know why I do this?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you need to call you in for questioning if you know that we still need you? You must give us a reasonable explanation for this matter!"

Saint Satan continued to question.

"Gudong, gudong!"

Ajin picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea to quench his thirst.

"Snapped!"

Ajin put the cup back heavily on the table.

"What are you going to do!"

The five old men narrowed their eyes, and the bald five elders couldn't help but tighten the scabbards in their hands!

"Young man, don't be too impulsive!"

The Whitebeard Five Elders once again played the role of good guys.

He killed Edward Newgate, the former strongest man in the world, and repelled an enemy who might be even more powerful than Whitebeard. The young man in front of them did have a record that made them feel fearful.

"Humph! Compared to the five adults, I am indeed too young, but you don't really think of me as a young boy who knows nothing, do you?"

Ajin had a serious expression on his face. He looked around and spoke coldly.

"Humph! You say you want our navy to expand its forces and improve its combat capability, but what's the reality? In the past few months, you have been looking for all kinds of reasons and excuses to cut the navy's military spending! You still have the nerve to ask me what I want to do. I want to ask you what you really want to do?"

"you…"

Faced with Ajin's loud questioning, the Five Elders couldn't help but widen their eyes.
