Chapter 688
This, this voice...
One of the Five Elder Stars, the God of Science Defense... Jaygolucia Satan Saint!
Zengoku froze in place, a chill ran down his spine, and a drop of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Sorry! Lord Satan Saint!!"
He stuttered and explained hurriedly:
"I was just scolding my subordinates..."
"Well, forget it."
On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, Satan Saint, wearing a black flat hat, leaned on an old, mottled cane with both hands, and said lightly.
Sengoku heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and quickly changed the subject to report:
"The battle on Miracle Island is over. I'm really sorry that my subordinates were incompetent and let Roger, BIG MOM and Kaido escape!"
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"Although we have achieved good results overall, I, as the commander of this mission, must bear the greatest responsibility for the failure of this operation. I am willing to bear any punishment!"
Things have developed to this point, and Sengoku can only bite the bullet and take the blame.
You can't just blame Garp, right?
That guy almost stopped the entire Roger Pirates by himself, and even immediately chased after the Oro Jackson after it escaped.
The most important point is that as the commander of this battle and the highest-ranking person in the navy, Sengoku can't shirk responsibility anyway.
It's better to accept the reality honestly.
"We have all learned about the battle situation on Miracle Island through intelligence."
At this time, the voice of the God of Justice, Vouchuri, came from the military Den Den Mushi.
The powerful God of Justice, who controls the judicial power of the World Government and all CP sequences, said indifferently:
"The strength of Kaido and BIG MOM is indeed somewhat unexpected. The intelligence is wrong, and the responsibility is not on you."
"After all, the three brats Sakaski, Borsalino and Kuzan have not grown up completely, and it is normal for them to be frustrated for a while."
Zhan Guo was stunned for a moment.
This, just brush it off so casually?
He breathed a sigh of relief quietly. For a moment, he didn't expect the Five Elders to be so easy to talk to.
But soon he remembered another thing, and cautiously tried to probe:
"But my lords, regarding the Roger Pirates... According to the information we have found, Roger has completely mastered the four historical texts of the road signs to the "Final Island".
"He has now successfully escaped from the battlefield of the Miracle Island. It is estimated that it will not take long for him to find the location of the Final Island through the coordinates of the road sign historical texts."
Zhan Guo's eyes gradually became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"If he really reaches the legendary Final Island, will it cause any huge trouble?"
"Or I will immediately lead a large force to continue to encircle and hunt down the Roger Pirates..."
As the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Zhan Guo can more or less understand some of the secrets and taboos of the World Government.
Especially the secrets of the historical texts, the World Government has always been very secretive and has expressly prohibited anyone from studying ancient characters.
And the new member of Roger's pirate group, Kozuki Oden, a down-and-out samurai from Wano Country, is a talent who can interpret the historical text.
Sengoku didn't know what kind of secrets the so-called "Final Island" was hiding, or what unimaginable treasure it was.
But since the World Government went to such great lengths to prohibit the study of historical texts, it must not want anyone to reach the Final Island.
In this case, Sengoku made this suggestion decisively.
After all, although the responsibility for this war was lightly passed over, Sengoku still wanted to prove his ability.
If he could get rid of Roger before he arrived at the Final Island...
"No need."
Satan Sheng's indifferent voice made Sengoku stunned.
"Why?"
He asked without thinking.
"This is not something you should ask, Sengoku."
Satan Sheng's voice gradually spread with a sarcastic sneer.
"As the admiral of the navy, your only mission is to unconditionally carry out what we have told you to do."
"Besides that, you don't need to do unnecessary things, and you shouldn't ask unnecessary questions."
Zengoku fell silent.
After two seconds, he took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Yes, my Lords."
He clenched his hands behind his back unconsciously.
"Well, very good."
On the Den Den Mushi side, the Five Elders seemed very satisfied with Sengoku's attitude, and a smile appeared on their faces.
"Let Garp handle the Roger Pirates. The situation has developed to this point. Even if most of them are mobilized,"If we send a team to encircle and suppress them, the possibility of success is close to zero."
"The sea area of the New World is dangerous, treacherous and complicated. There is no need to make a big fuss against a dying person."
"Besides, even if he finds the so-called "final island", what will happen?"
"He lacks a key... It is doomed to fail and a futile act."
"Gol D. Roger... His so-called life and dream are just a funny joke. "
Missing... a key?
Zhan Guo was shocked, and his eyes were filled with deep fog.
What key did Roger lack?
His brain started to work quickly, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he found nothing.
The information he knew was extremely limited. Even as an admiral of the navy, he did not have enough authority and qualifications to know many secrets of the World Government.
It was just that the Five Elders were so sure that Roger would fail in the end, and Zhan Guo felt a huge confusion.
He knew very well how strong Roger's will and strength were.
Not to mention that he had gathered Gathered a group of amazingly powerful crew members, galloping on the sea, no one can stop it.
But this enemy, which is enough to make the entire Navy headquarters on high alert, is just a joke in the eyes of the five old men sitting on the top of the world.
Zhan Guo suddenly felt a bottomless chill that suddenly enveloped himself, as if falling into an ice cave.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the dark sky with heavy rain.
It seemed that in the dark, there was an invisible huge net, like this thick thundercloud, covering the entire sea, and no one could escape its control.
"I understand."
Zhan Guo exhaled a long breath, the cold rain slid down his cheeks, and whispered:
"Then I will rest here for a while, and then lead the fleet back to the headquarters."
"No, there is no need to return."
Satan Sheng's tone was flat.
"We have the latest mission arrangements for the fleet. "
Zhan Guo straightened his chest and said in a deep voice:
"Sir, please speak."
He stared at the Den Den Mushi in front of him with burning eyes, full of vigor and vitality.
Swish...
The heavy rain fell, rebounded on the ground, and mud splashed on the military pants of the admiral.
The sound of thunder and rain drowned out the sound of the Den Den Mushi.
Accompanied by the opening and closing of the mouth of the military Den Den Mushi, it seemed to give orders like a god.
Zhan Guo was stunned there as if struck by lightning.
He maintained an upright posture, his whole body tense and stiff.
The hot and bright look in his eyes disappeared bit by bit.
Instead, it was deeply unbelievable.
And...huge panic, uneasiness and guilt.
He stood blankly in the heavy rain, like a statue that gradually lost its soul, letting the wind and rain blow, motionless.
Hands, unable to stop trembling.
This storm... seems to last forever.
————
At the same time.
On the high-speed Ark spaceship.
Darren was naked, with blood-stained bandages, revealing his gnarled and explosive muscles, and exuding a fierce blood.
He sat on the bow without any posture, biting a lit cigar in his mouth, holding a Den Den Mushi that had just resumed its sleep in his hands.
His eyebrows were tightly knitted.
The Ark spaceship fell into silence.
Others looked at his back quietly, speechless for a while.
Only Doflamingo flashed a cold light under his sunglasses, sneering.
At a certain moment,
The vice admiral of the navy suddenly laughed, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"The Five Elders... want to see me?"

I ask for everything, and I am grateful.
