Chapter 1460: Found the Watcher

That evening, as darkness fell over the Navy Headquarters, senior naval officials gathered in the brightly lit conference room, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

"Marshal Aokiji, it's probably a little late to suddenly change the route now, right?" said a lieutenant general with a worried look on his face.

"Yes, Marshal, we will reach the entrance to the new world in one day. If we change the route now, how much time will we waste!" another lieutenant general echoed.

"Aren't we in a hurry to raid Thunder God Island?" another lieutenant general questioned.

"In this case, will Blood Blade get the news in advance and leave Thundergod Island?" More lieutenant generals spoke up, and the conference room suddenly became noisy.

The reason was nothing else but a sudden decision made by Marshal Aokiji in the afternoon - to change the route. They were originally traveling along a relatively safe and convenient road, and expected to reach the entrance to the New World in another day. However, Marshal Aokiji issued a new order at this time, requiring the fleet to change to a route that almost no one cared about.

This sudden decision shocked the navy officers and soldiers. They really couldn't understand why the marshal chose such a path full of unknowns and risks instead of the near one. Therefore, under the strong request of the vice admirals, Marshal Aokiji had to hold an emergency meeting to explain his decision.

Looking at everyone's excitement, Aokiji sat there expressionlessly, not saying a word, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with him.

Vice Admiral Tsuru rested his chin with the back of his hand and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was concentrating his strength, and was completely deaf to the arguments of the crowd.

Kizaru and Fujitora were also silent. They sat aside and did not express any opinions, making it difficult to guess what they were thinking.

As time passed, the discussion gradually died down, as everyone was exhausted from talking.

However, Aokiji still sat quietly, his eyes scanning everyone but never spoke.

Finally, someone couldn't help but break the silence. The vice admiral with his slicked-back hair said cautiously, "Marshal..."

Before he could finish his words, Aokiji suddenly stretched out a finger, put it to his lips, and made a "hush" gesture.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he did this.

Aokiji slowly put down his hand and said, "You are all wondering why I changed the route, right?"

"That's right." Everyone answered in unison. They were indeed confused and puzzled by this decision.

"Then none of you noticed that we were being monitored from the moment we set out?" This statement came like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed almost at the same time. They looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

At this moment, Kizaru in the room suddenly turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the window as fast as lightning!

High in the sky, the clouds were hazy, and a vulture with a backpack on its back was staring intently at the ground below. It seemed to be completely unaware of Kizaru's approach.

However, just as the vulture was concentrating on observing, Kizaru's voice suddenly sounded behind it: "It turns out to be a bird."

This sudden sound was like a heavy hammer, hitting the vulture's heart hard. It was so scared that it trembled all over and turned around with a start.

"Ah~!" A piercing cry cut through the sky, and the vulture flapped its wings in fear and fled desperately. Its eyes were full of fear and despair, as if it felt the approach of death.

Kizaru stared at it quietly, his eyes revealing endless indifference and murderous intent.

He slowly raised his hand, and a powerful force gathered at his fingertips, as dazzling as a laser, and shot out in an instant!

"Boom!!!" With a loud noise, the vulture was instantly transformed into a blood mist in the laser, leaving no residue. Kizaru's move was clean and neat, without any delay.

In his opinion, even if he caught the vulture, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of it, so it would be better to just kill it and be done with it.

After dealing with the vulture, Kizaru did not leave immediately. Instead, he floated in the air, closed his eyes, and sensed everything around him with his observation Haki.

His aura was steady and powerful, as if he could see through everything in the world. After more than ten minutes, after confirming that there were no more hidden guys around, he flew towards the warship with confidence.

Back in the meeting room, Kizaru sat lazily in his seat with a faint sneer on his lips.

"There is only one bird. It should be Morgans's men." Although his voice was flat, it revealed an unquestionable power.

"Someone is really monitoring us!" someone suddenly screamed, his voice full of disbelief and panic.

"This is too outrageous!" another person echoed, his face also full of astonishment.

"Marshal, when did you find out?!" Everyone's eyes were focused on Aokiji, eager to know how he realized that someone was spying on them.

Aokiji looked at Fujitora solemnly, then said slowly: "It was Fujitora who discovered it."

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Fujitora, with puzzled expressions on their faces. However, a few people who knew about Fujitora's abilities showed expressions of sudden enlightenment after hearing this answer.

"Yes, Fujitora can even pull down a meteorite, so this level of surveillance should be easy for him to discover." One of them said, and the others nodded in agreement.

"So..." Aokiji paused and continued, "We have to change our route." His tone was firm, without any hesitation.

"If we continue along the original route, it is conceivable that there must be a large number of pirates lying in ambush at the entrance to the New World, or even the entire Kuro Pirates!" Aokiji's words were like a gust of cold wind in the winter, making people shiver.

Everyone looked at each other, and a chill surged in their hearts. If they had been under surveillance without realizing it, then if they blindly rushed into the new world, they would probably be faced with a catastrophe.

Those pirates hiding in the dark will pounce on them like hungry wolves and launch the most violent attacks without mercy.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room became extremely solemn, and the originally noisy discussions disappeared without a trace. The senior executives present all realized the seriousness of the situation, and they had to make a decision quickly to avoid this potential disaster.
