Chapter 380 Travel at public expense

but......

The most important thing right now is how to deal with this sudden predicament.

Originally, his plan was to infiltrate the Whitebeard Pirates, gradually get close to Whitebeard by pretending to be loyal, and eventually seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

However, now this road seems to be half blocked by rumors in the newspapers.

"Once this newspaper comes out, Whitebeard might already know me. If I want to sneak in, they will probably become suspicious of me."

He thought coldly, a gloomy smile on his face.

Although there were changes in the plan, he was not without a strategy to deal with it.

However, he has to rearrange his plans to deal with possible changes.

Blackbeard slowly stood up and looked through the window at the sea level in the distance.

His ambition is still burning, and no matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will not give up easily.

After all, in this world, only the strong can have the last laugh.

"Hahahahahahahaha... Looks like I have to act quickly."

He sneered, as if he had already planned a new journey in his mind.

No matter what, he won't let anyone stop him from moving forward.

Those who attempt to sow discord will eventually become stepping stones under his feet.

"The world is mine!!!"

......

After Jin'an set out from the West Sea, the journey was calm. He sat on the deck of the warship, leisurely enjoying the coolness brought by the sea breeze.

Although he had just gone through a complicated operation, he seemed unusually relaxed at this moment.

As the outline of the Marine Headquarters, Marineford, became clearer, Jinan knew that he was about to face another "battle".

"Marine Headquarters, Marinford."

He whispered the name, feeling vaguely that a storm of varying degrees of severity was waiting for him.

a few days later.

When Jin An walked into the Marshal's office, the atmosphere in the office seemed particularly solemn.

Zhan Guo stood behind the desk, his eyes fixed on Jin An's figure.

The office was silent and the atmosphere was as tense as a guitar string about to break.

"boom!"

Zhan Guo slapped the desk hard, making a dull sound.

A clear slap mark suddenly appeared on the table.

Jin An glanced at the table calmly, nodded secretly, and thought: "The table is not broken, it seems that he is not so angry anymore."

Zhan Guo naturally didn't know what Jin An was thinking. He pointed at Jin An with a sharp gaze, and said with long-suppressed anger: "You actually ran to the West Sea!"

His low voice seemed to contain suppressed anger, and every word seemed to hit Jin An's heart hard.

"You just became a general and you're already going on a tour at your own expense, right?"

Zhan Guo continued to roar, his anger obviously not subsiding yet.

Although Jin'an's actions quelled the pirate rebellion in the West Sea, the private actions of an admiral of the Navy Headquarters could easily arouse suspicion and concern from above.

This unconventional behavior made the Warring States period feel very difficult.

Jin An showed an innocent expression on his face. He spread his hands, as if to show his innocence: "I just became an admiral, so of course I have to let those pirates know."

His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

Then, he added in a low voice: "Otherwise, it will be very embarrassing when you go out and no one knows you."

This sentence caused a subtle change in the room.

"Pfft..."

Karp couldn't help laughing first, and his deep laugh broke the tense atmosphere in the room.

Veins were throbbing on Zhan Guo's forehead, and it was obvious that Jin An's words had completely ignited the anger in his heart.

"Garp! If you want to laugh, go outside and laugh!!!" Zhan Guo's voice rose again, his chest heaving violently, obviously he was very angry.

Seeing that Sengoku was angry, Garp still looked indifferent. He even took out a bag of senbei from his pocket and chewed them slowly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. You are the one who brought about this kind of atmosphere!" Zhan Guo had no place to vent his anger, so he directed his anger at Garp.

Garp was chewing senbei while smiling disapprovingly, and his leisurely and complacent look made Sengoku even more furious.

Jin An looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although he knew that Zhan Guo's anger was justified, at this moment, he only felt that this "reprimand" was more like a "farce".

Zhan Guo looked at the two heartless guys, one big and one small, in front of him with hatred, and felt a dull pain in his chest, as if there was an air stuck there that couldn't go up or down.

He frowned, and the veins on his forehead ached slightly. In his eyes, Garp and Jinan in front of him were simply a pair of trouble makers.

Especially Karp, this old guy not only does not help with discipline, but always adds fuel to the fire.

Garp seemed to be completely unaware of Sengoku's anger that was about to erupt. After finishing the last senbei, he wiped his mouth casually, as casually as if he was in his own kitchen.

Then, without warning, he slapped his desk with such force that the papers on it jumped.

Jinan took a look at the table and secretly admired its quality.

"Jin'an," Karp said seriously, but his tone was still too relaxed, "Apologize if you should apologize, admit your mistakes if you should admit your mistakes, and write a self-criticism if you should write a self-criticism."

As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Zhan Guo, as if he was assessing Zhan Guo's anger level.

Cap's wrinkled fingers tapped the table, and the sound echoed softly in the office.

"Anyway...you have to have the right attitude."

He continued, his tone as nonchalant as if it was just a trivial matter.

Jin An couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He knew that Garp was helping him out, but this way of helping him out was a little too casual.

Zhan Guo's eyes had already turned cold, as if he was going to throw the two people in front of him into jail in the next second.

"By the way," Karp suddenly changed the subject, with his usual smile on his face and his eyes slightly narrowed, "Did you bring back any local specialties from the West Sea?"

Jin An was stunned when he heard this, and almost couldn't help laughing. He never thought that Garp would mention local specialties at this time. This topic change was really unexpected.

He subconsciously touched his pocket and found that he actually had a little gadget in his hand.

He looked at Garp's expectant eyes, then at Sengoku's expression that seemed about to explode, and suddenly felt a little amused.

Zhan Guo's face turned even darker, and he shouted in intolerance: "Garp! You bastard, is this the time to talk about local specialties?! You really are..."

However, Garp didn't care about Sengoku's anger and continued to smile to himself, as if he didn't hear what Sengoku said at all.

Jinan felt the wonderful "chemical reaction" between the two of them, and he finally understood why Garp could always easily resolve various situations, and even people like Sengoku were helpless in front of him.

In this wonderful atmosphere, Jin An grinned and shrugged: "I brought some things back, but they are just some small things. If you... don't mind..."

Garp's eyes suddenly lit up, while Sengoku showed an extremely helpless expression.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and decided not to care about it for the time being.

After all, he knew that arguing with these two people would only make him more tired, and the result would always be fruitless.

"You two guys..." Zhan Guo muttered in a low voice, and finally waved his hand helplessly, "Okay, get out, I don't want to see you again."

Jinan and Garp looked at each other, stood up at the same time, bowed respectfully to Zhan Guo, and then quickly left the office.

Outside the door, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

Jin An sighed softly, secretly glad that today's incident was finally over, while Karp chuckled and patted Jin An on the shoulder: "Young man, you should be more careful in the future."

Jin An smiled and nodded, but he was thinking in his heart: With Garp by my side, this kind of "discipline" is really safe.

He silently kept this lesson in mind, and at the same time he couldn't help but admire Garp's ability to resolve awkward situations.
