Chapter 387 It doesn’t matter whether it’s fake or not~

The careful general seemed to notice something was wrong and said:

"Marshal, and everyone else, it seems that most of these arrested generals and officers were recommended by local kingdoms. They are from branches within the local kingdoms and have close ties with the kingdoms. Even if they are collaborating with the enemy, they should be collaborating with their own countries, not with the King of the New World!"

As soon as these words came out, some generals who were unwilling to give up seemed to have grasped at straws to save their lives:

"Yes! It makes sense! There must be something fishy going on here! Marshal, we should stop the Thunder God immediately and investigate the cause first!"

Zhan Guo snorted coldly:

"madness!!"

"You are still unaware that your home has been stolen by the enemy. Not only are you pleading for the traitor, but you are also blinding yourself, making one mistake after another! ~ Is my navy full of stupid officers like you?! ~"

Zhan Guo said in a tough tone:

"It is precisely because they are all generals recommended by the local kingdoms that they are more easily infiltrated by the enemy. Even before they came to Marinford, they were already the enemy's pawns. Don't you know the control that Leon Lex has over the local kingdoms?!"

Zhan Guo's last words were a wake-up call to the generals present.

Yes, it is precisely because they are all generals recommended by local kingdoms that they are more likely to be infiltrated. Some of them were even the enemy's hidden pawns before, and were promoted all the way to generals after being arranged into the headquarters!

Especially those generals from the West Sea, South Sea and even the New World, those are the hardest hit areas, after all, they are now Leon Lex's territories!

Zhan Guo did not explain any more and started to drive them away:

"Alright, everyone, retreat now. Go back and reflect on why you were deceived by the traitor and why you were so ignorant! Come back to me after you've reflected on it!"

Zhan Guo gave the order to expel them. The generals had complicated looks in their eyes and left the marshal's office like a tide, just as they had done when they came to complain in a threatening manner.

In less than a moment, peace returned to the marshal's office, leaving only Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru, as well as an old goat chewing a newspaper beside Sengoku.

He was the first to break the silence:

"Zhan Guo, there must be some hidden secrets that we don't know about. Even if these generals are traitors, things won't be that simple."

Zhan Guo's expression remained unchanged, and he answered tiredly:

"Of course I know, but what can we do about it? Do we have to argue with the Thunder God to protect these generals? What if we present the evidence to the Five Elders? Are you and I going to be dismissed and investigated by the Five Elders for protecting these generals?"

The last sentence Zhan Guo said in a declarative tone, which was enough to prove that he was physically and mentally exhausted at the moment.

There's such a big mess in the Navy Headquarters, and outside, CP Chief Thor is arresting people in a hurry. Just now, a group of generals came to argue crying out for injustice. Who knows what other troubles will happen in a while.

Things had become a tangled mess at this point, but the Warring States period did not have a sharp sword to cut through the mess.

Because at this moment, the initiative is in the hands of Thunder God Enel, in the hands of an unknown enemy.

Zhan Guo knew that the water here was deep, and even he, a naval marshal, could not withstand the ups and downs here.

There are probably only two possibilities:

First, there is irrefutable evidence that the arrested generals are indeed naval traitors.

Second, there is something fishy going on here, the information is false.

Sengoku could accept and endure the first situation. At most he would apologize to the Five Elders and say that he had just taken office as the Navy Admiral and had not had time to investigate the headquarters, so there were a few traitors. Fortunately, most of the generals were still good.

He didn't dare to think about the second Warring States period, he didn't dare to think deeply about it.

If all this evidence is false, then who forged it?

Who is the person who has such great power that he can create proof of contact between Leon Lex, Dream Maker Roy, Agulas Gut, and Momotosa Gion, and even send this evidence to CP President Lei Shen overnight and ask him to execute it?

Zhan Guo didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to say it, the answer was too obvious.

Zhan Guo and Vice Admiral He stood high up and saw far, so they naturally thought of the second possibility, but they could not say anything and could not complain to the Five Elders.

That would not only make it difficult for them to protect themselves, but also offend the Five Elders and Leon Lex, and even lead to an even more terrifying fact - CP General Manager Thor Enel is also Leon Lex's man!!!

Otherwise, Thor would not have suddenly taken action overnight and arrested those people. Of course, it is also possible that Thor had investigated the evidence during his previous secluded days, and this possibility cannot be ruled out.

The choice now is very simple. Zhan Guo chooses to believe the first one because he simply does not have enough ability to face the second possibility.

Vice Admiral He standing by had a clearer understanding and her thoughts were even more delicate.

She had almost determined the truth of the matter. Such a large-scale operation, no matter how well it was hidden, would have loopholes. He, as one of the most intelligent people in this ocean, would naturally be able to detect it.

She laughed at herself:

"Oh, that's good. It seems that he still cares about the friendship with the navy and did not eliminate the real elite troops of the headquarters. As for those local kingdom factions, most of them are not real navy. They are just factions fighting for the right to speak for their respective kingdoms."

"That's right... I can't help but feel a little sorry for those truly righteous people..."

Sengoku looked at He:

"Xiaohe, you mean, really--"

He interrupted directly: "It doesn't matter. Even if it is, what can we do? We might as well devote our energy to arranging new candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Warring States Silence:

"I was too weak to fight against Mary Joa and Lex."

He's eyes were gentle. The Sengoku in front of her joined the navy at the same time as her. They had struggled together all the way, gone through several eras, and supported each other all the way to the pinnacle of naval power today, becoming the spokespersons for justice in this sea.

He knew very well what kind of person Zhan Guo was. She heard his voice and comforted him:

"Don't blame yourself. There are many things in the world that should not be done. We can do what we should do and have a clear conscience. If we really get carried away and reveal the truth now, it won't just be those generals who will die, but the entire navy."

"Xiaohe..."

Zhan Guo felt somewhat relieved, but still conflicted. He had just taken office as marshal for a short while when he encountered such a major blow. He couldn't help but worry about the future. Fortunately, Xiao He was always with him, helping him and the navy with advice.

Bang! ——

Just as Zhan Guo and He were looking at each other affectionately in the office, the door was kicked open, and a certain unscrupulous lieutenant general said angrily:

"Damn little thunder devil!! How dare he arrest so many navy officers and say they are all traitors! I will punish this arrogant little thunder devil! Zhan Guo, let's kill him together! ~"

Garp clenched his fist of justice as big as a sandbag, and the big black fist covered with armament color was ready to strike, but he was immediately taken away by a big Buddha shock wave from Sengoku:

"Garp!!~ You bastard kicked my door down again!! Also, stop making those dangerous comments! Go home and eat your donuts!!"

Bang-!

Before he reached Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp flew out of Marinford along with the gate.

Zhan Guo was still a little worried:

"Xiao He, you just found a random excuse to send this bastard to the East China Sea. It's really worrying."

Lieutenant General He was also amused by the two of them. They were still like this after half a lifetime. They were truly a friendship worth risking their lives for.
