Chapter 943 Forgetting the Original Intention

...

Marine Headquarters Marineford

Inside the Marshal's Office

"Crack! Click!"

Admiral Kizaru crossed his legs and was leisurely trimming his nails with a mini nail clipper in his hand.

Chief of the Navy General Staff, Vice Admiral Ahe, folded his arms across his chest and sat quietly on the sofa beside him with his eyes closed.

"Hey! Garp, this last piece is mine. You've eaten enough!"

"Hahaha, how could I possibly give it to you! Sengoku, the last piece of senbei is the most delicious!"

On the side, the Navy Inspector Sengoku and the Navy Hero Garp were fighting fiercely for a piece of senbei.

"Bulu Bulu Bulu..."

"Ka-chan!"

Ajin quickly picked up the microphone.

"It's me, go ahead."

"Marshal Jin! We encountered an obstruction in the waters near our destination..."

The anxious voice of the flying squirrel came from the Den Den Mushi, and the office suddenly became quiet. Zhan Guo subconsciously let go of his hand and listened to the report carefully, while Monkey and Garp took the opportunity to put the last piece of rice cracker into their mouth with a triumphant expression on their face.

"I understand. Don't worry about any orders for now. Prioritize the safety of the soldiers. I will bear all consequences."

"Yes! Marshal!"

"Crack!"

Den Den Mushi slowly closed its eyes.

"Hiss… Kouwa Ine~! The NEO Navy? Has it developed to this point?"

Kizaru opened his mouth wide, his expression slightly exaggerated.

"Damn it! That old bastard Zephyr! We originally left them alone because we thought they were fighting pirates and upholding justice on the sea, and they shared the same goal as our navy. I didn't expect that now they would directly stand against the navy!"

Zhan Guo rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache.

"Ahahahaha! Pretty capable! That Zephyr guy! The World Government's order was blocked by a veteran marine! How interesting!"

Garp held his stomach and laughed heartily.

"Shut up Garp!"

Lieutenant General He glared at his old friend, then turned to look at the expressionless young man behind the desk and asked worriedly.

"Don't you need to send reinforcements? Wouldn't it be hard to explain to the World Government if we just abandoned the mission?"

"Explain?"

Ajin shook his head and said calmly.

"The Navy has already dispatched three admirals, 20 warships, and tens of thousands of elite marines. What else does the World Government want? The fact that they can still be stopped proves that the situation is beyond our control."

"If those five old guys think this isn't enough, then let them fight on their own! As a naval marshal, I won't let my soldiers die in a meaningless battle just to give those five old guys an explanation!"

The righteous words made everyone present fall silent at the same time, and the two navy soldiers standing guard at the door unconsciously straightened their backs.

"Hahahaha, not bad, not bad! That's not a good point!"

After a long while, Karp slapped his thigh and laughed.

"As expected of the youngest Admiral in history! Much better than that old bastard Zhan Guo! You're so aware! We old guys are relieved!"

"Hey! Garp!"

"What? Am I wrong?"

Garp picked his nose nonchalantly.

"hateful!"

Zhan Guo calmed down a bit, then stroked his braided white beard and sighed with relief.

"Okay, maybe I'm really not suited to this position! Even I feel that my life has become much more comfortable after retiring!"

"Ahahahaha! Really? I told you long ago that this kind of thing should be left to the young people to worry about! We old guys should just step back and enjoy life!"

Garp patted Sengoku's back hard, and the two good friends began to hug each other again.

“Blur, blur, blur!”

The Den Den Mushi on the table rang again.

coming!

Zhan Guo narrowed his eyes slightly, and he already knew in his heart that not many people could call the Navy Marshal's office directly. The call at this time must be from the Five Elders who came to hold him accountable. He was very familiar with this business.

"Ahem! There shouldn't be anything for us here, right? Most of the troops were withdrawn from the headquarters at once, and Marinford is at its most depleted right now. I'd better go and inspect it, otherwise I'll be worried."

"Yes! I'll go too! Leave the defense to us!"

Not wanting to stay and listen to the Five Elders' scolding, Sengoku quickly stood up and walked out, followed closely by Garp. Although this old man seems a little dull at ordinary times, his reaction is faster than anyone else at critical moments.

"Then why don't I..."

Watching the two of them walk away, Kizaru also wanted to slip away, but he saw the Den Den Mushi dressed as a pharaoh on the desk shouting anxiously.

"Marshal Jin!"

"The Pirate Emperor Gekko Moriah and his Shadow Army are attacking Impel Down!"

"They have already invaded Level 2 Beast Hell. Deputy Director Magellan is leading the jailers in a fierce resistance, but the situation remains grim. We need reinforcements from the navy! Impel Down must not be breached by pirates again!"

"Huh? Gekko Moriah invades Impel Down? At this time?"

Kizaru stopped when he heard that.

"I understand! Please hold on, the navy reinforcements will be here soon!"

Akin put down the Den Den Mushi and looked up at Kizaru.

"It's an emergency, so I have no choice but to ask you to make a trip, Brother Borsalino!"

"Well, I see."

Kizaru didn't waste any words. He picked up the cloak of justice on the chair and put it on his back. His body turned into a ball of golden light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only the Admiral of the Navy and the Chief of the General Staff were left in the Marshal's office.

"Da da!"

Lieutenant General He frowned and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and asked.

"Don't you think it's a little strange, Marshal Jin?"

"What do you mean?"

Ajin looked puzzled.

"The World Government's demon-killing order against Golden City must have been a covert operation, right? The Navy also received the order at short notice."

Lieutenant General He supported his chin, looked at Ajin and continued.

"But what happened afterwards, whether it was the sudden appearance of the NEO Navy and the interception of the Navy Demon Slayer Fleet, or the sudden attack on Impel Down by Gekko Moriah at this time! It can't all be just a coincidence, right?"

"You mean... there's an undercover agent from Golden City in the World Government? And he's in a high-ranking position, with access to confidential information?"

Ajin asked seriously.

"No, it's normal for an undercover agent to leak information. After all, public relations and bribery are what Golden City is best at."

Vice Admiral He shook his head. As the world's number one entertainment city and an absolutely neutral place, Golden City is a place frequented by dignitaries, senior officials of the world government agencies and some naval generals. It is not difficult to corrupt and develop some spies.

"I think what's more noteworthy is the sudden intervention of the NEO Navy and the Five Emperors, Gekko Moriah. Pirates are fine, but why would the NEO Navy be so eager to help the Golden City?"

"this…"

Ajin pondered for a moment and answered against his conscience.

"Perhaps, Mr. Zephyr has changed. The NEO Navy has been able to grow to its current size in just two years. It's very likely that he received funding from the Golden City. Otherwise, where would he get the funds to grow?"

"Is that so? That makes sense..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but begin to suspect that Zephyr had forgotten his original intention after leaving the navy.

“Blur, blur, blur!”

The voice of Den Den Mushi broke the silence again. This time there was no surprise. As soon as King Kong answered the phone, the roar of Saturn Satan Saint came from the other end of the phone!
