#228 - The Navy Headquarters is shocked!

More than an hour later.

Smoker's warship set sail, carrying everyone towards the Marine Headquarters.

Originally, the highest-ranking officer on this ship was Smoker.

But now, it had temporarily become Admiral Kizaru!

This uncle of Luffy seemed very curious about Zhao Zheng and planned to go to the Marine Headquarters with him.

Along the way, Kizaru kept pulling Zhao Zheng aside, asking all sorts of questions.

Fortunately, Zhao Zheng had seen the plot and was not unfamiliar with the pirate world, so he could barely answer Kizaru's questions.

However, with so many questions, there were bound to be some omissions.

Especially the word "Marine" on the giant climbing tower wall, which was very impressive, and just looking at it, one could feel the weight of this fortress.

"How did they build it?"

"With the industrial level of this world, it's incredible to build such a military fortress."

"Don't forget, there are giants in this world, maybe the giants helped build it?"

"That makes sense..."

Amidst everyone's discussions.

The warship smoothly docked.

Afterward, Smoker's deputy, "Tashigi," took away all the newly recruited recruits to help them settle down first.

Of course, this did not include Zhao Zheng.

"Little Brother Zhao, come with me! I'll take you to see Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

Admiral Kizaru said with a smile, "I believe Fleet Admiral Sengoku will be very happy to see a powerhouse like you join the Marines... I can also complete my task smoothly."

Perhaps it was due to the influence of the Spirit Realm.

Before the war at Marineford arrived, both Whitebeard and Fleet Admiral Sengoku had issued orders to gather powerhouses.

On the Marine side, many generals had received tasks in this regard.

Including Kizaru.

Hearing Admiral Kizaru's words, Smoker next to him indicated that he had something to say.

Zhao Zheng clearly appeared at the recruitment point he was in charge of, so it should be his credit!

Kizaru, you are so shameless!

Unfortunately, he was an admiral.

Even if Smoker was not convinced, he could only endure it.

Afterward, Zhao Zheng was taken away by Kizaru.

...

At the same time.

Inside the Fleet Admiral's office, it was very lively.

Many important generals were brainstorming for the upcoming war.

They even argued because of disagreements.

For example, Admiral Akainu suggested that as soon as the Whitebeard Pirates arrived, they should directly kill Ace, not giving Whitebeard any chance, and let that old pirate watch Ace be executed before his eyes!

This suggestion immediately aroused the anger of Vice Admiral Garp.

Ace was his grandson, whom he had raised single-handedly!

Although he wasn't his biological grandson...

He didn't want to see Ace die tragically.

In fact, Garp secretly hoped that Whitebeard could successfully rescue Ace.

If Sengoku really adopted Akainu's plan, then Ace would definitely die.

"What a stupid suggestion, Sakazuki, don't forget that we are the Marines, the representatives of justice! If even we are not punctual, do you want the reputation of the Marines to become a laughing stock?"

"Vice Admiral Garp, our opponent this time is Whitebeard! This war will have a huge impact, and we must not fail! For the victory of this war, we must use all useful means."

Speaking of this, Akainu changed the subject, his triangular eyes staring at Garp, "Or is it that Vice Admiral Garp has selfish motives and doesn't want to see Fire Fist Ace being executed?"

"What did you say? You bastard!"

Hearing Akainu question his position, Garp was immediately enraged, instantly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed towards Admiral Akainu, "You magma bastard, I'm going to duel you!"

"Vice Admiral Garp, calm down."

"Vice Admiral Garp, don't be impulsive."

"Admiral Akainu is just making a suggestion..."

Many generals nearby ran over to hold back the furious Garp.

Garp didn't really want to fight.

Otherwise, with his strength, no one around could hold him back.

However, even so, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's face was as black as the bottom of a pot as he watched the two arguing.

"Enough!"

He slammed the table and stood up.

Just as Fleet Admiral Sengoku was about to say something, his subordinate suddenly walked into the office.

"Fleet Admiral, Admiral Kizaru is back."

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the office, where a fight was about to break out, the subordinate quickly reported, "Admiral Kizaru said that he brought a surprise."

"A surprise?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku was stunned.

When the others heard this, they also showed curious expressions.

...

A moment later.

Zhao Zheng followed Kizaru to the office and saw a group of Marine executives.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Akainu, Vice Admiral Garp, and some other vice admirals.

All of them were big shots of the Marine Headquarters!

And also the top powerhouses of the pirate world!

As for Admiral Aokiji, he wasn't here, he must have been out on a mission and hadn't returned yet.

Zhao Zheng's height of 1.85 meters was definitely not short among humans on Blue Star.

But in this office, he looked really thin and small, and weak...

"Borsalino."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku glanced at Zhao Zheng and then asked, "Is this the surprise you brought back?"

Hearing this, Kizaru immediately said, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, don't underestimate him! Don't look at his ordinary appearance, he is a veritable monster!"

Everyone looked at Zhao Zheng in surprise.

Kizaru was an admiral, and his strength was even more top-notch. Among the super powerhouses of the Marine Headquarters, he could at least rank in the top five. To be praised as a monster by Kizaru, he must be extraordinary.

"Is that so?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku was a little uncertain.

Because the current Zhao Zheng had completely restrained his aura and looked like an ordinary person.

At this time.

Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke, "Whether he is or not, won't you know after you try?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned.

As a newcomer, Zhao Zheng's words were really impolite, at least without any humility of a newcomer.

Only Kizaru showed a slight smile, not taking it seriously.

A powerhouse!

It's normal to have a temper.

If Zhao Zheng had a humble and flattering appearance, he would have suspected whether he was a spy sent by Whitebeard.

"Kid, it seems you are very confident!" A vice admiral who was over five meters tall asked, "What's your name?"

This guy was not only tall, but also strong beyond words.

Compared to him, Zhao Zheng was like a little dot.

"Zhao Zheng."

Zhao Zheng said calmly.

This vice admiral was very unhappy with Zhao Zheng's attitude. He originally wanted to say something, but Fleet Admiral Sengoku spoke first.

"Borsalino, since his strength is good, you can arrange a corresponding position for him."

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this is the difficulty I am facing now!"

Kizaru spread his hands and said helplessly, "His strength is stronger than mine, I really don't know how to arrange him!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was shocked.
