Marineford.
In the Marine Fleet Admiral Office.
Sengoku put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand. His face was surprisingly ugly, and he even looked a little angry, which made the people next to him couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
As Fleet Admiral, Sengoku basically never lost his temper in Marineford unless he was angered by his old friend Garp to the point of exploding.
"Did something happen?"
A look of worry appeared on Tsuru's face.
"It's fine."
Sengoku adjusted his glasses and snorted, "That little brat Kabuto made a small report in front of those old guys from the World Government. What a childish method..."
However, this kind of childish method was very effective.
In the call just now, the Five Elder Stars directly asked the Sengoku and the marine to cooperate with Kabuto's CP department unconditionally and accused Sengoku of recklessly promoting a weak person like Uehara Naraku.
Sengoku closed his palm and said with an ugly face, "Starting tomorrow, Kabuto will be relieved of the position of Marine Staff Officer and will serve as the Chief Inspector of the Marine Headquarters.
This new Chief Inspector has the authority to order all Vice Admiral and below. He can even mobilize Buster Call to any country or island in the world..."
This power...
He could already challenge this Marine Fleet Admiral!
Tsuru couldn't help but frown when she heard this, "If that's the case, whose orders should those little guys listen to in the future?"
"The marine already has a different voice."
Sengoku shook his head and sighed, "Tsuru, in these past few years, many people have chosen to support him. It's just that we thought that he was the future of the marine and did not see through this ambitious little guy..."
Kabuto was willing to do anything in order to obtain power.
This was also the most painful thing for Sengoku.
The fall of a new generation of Wise General meant that the future of the marine might be uncertain. The most troublesome thing was that this Kabuto had a very high probability of becoming the superior of the entire marine...
Kabuto was not very strong, but he was very intelligent, so he became the best chess piece in the hands of the Five Elder Stars.
Because once Kabuto showed any abnormal momentum, the Five Elder Stars could easily get rid of him. This kind of person who could bring great benefits to the World Government but was very easy to control just happened to be the talent that the Five Elder Stars needed the most.
Especially this time, Kabuto's plan...
Although because of the lack of cooperation of the marine, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey. D. Dragon, escapes the capture operation. He even leaves the second in command of the Revolutionary Army and escapes in a sorry state which was a big loss for the World Government in capturing the number one criminal.
This time...
The marine was being held accountable, but Kabuto was promoted.
"In fact, you can't say that..."
Tsuru sighed faintly and comforted her old friend, "Little Kabuto's temper is not that bad. At least everything he has done has not violated justice... Moreover, he has been working hard for the marine in the past few years!"
"..."
Sengoku was speechless for a moment.
Indeed.
There was nothing to criticize about Kabuto's actions in the past few years. It was because of this that Sengoku felt even more bitter. He could not pick out Kabuto's problem.
Everyone clearly knows that Kabuto has changed...
But when he was about to criticize Kabuto, he found that there was nothing wrong with him, not even a little tail that was caught by someone.
Every time Sengoku confronted Kabuto, it always made people feel that he is attacking political enemies in order to promote himself to the commander-in-chief of the army...
He was obviously doing this for the future of the marine!
"Forget it; let's not talk about this anymore."
Sengoku picked up a document on the table and fed it to the little goat beside him. He sighed and said, "Tomorrow, Kabuto will come to Marineford. We will have a secret meeting.
The Five Old Stars hope that we cooperate with the CP department and take the initiative to launch a war to capture a Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group and the Revolutionary Army..."
"Initiate a war with Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group?"
Tsuru furrowed her brows and said, "Those five old fellows must have gone crazy. The sea is barely able to maintain its balance."
"Tsuru..."
Sengoku shook his head. His expression gradually turned heavy, "This kind of balance is never what the marine wants. We only have one goal, to end the great pirate era that Gol D. Roger opened and let justice rule the world..."
Just as Marineford's two old people were discussing the order of the Five Elder Stars with a heavy expression which was too exhausting for the two of them. Kabuto, who proposed to start the war, was still leisurely drinking afternoon tea in Enies Lobby.
Enies Lobby.
In the Supreme Commander's office.
Kabuto and Nico Robin were playing chess.
In the past few years, Nico Robin had been staying in Enies Lobby, helping Kabuto to clear out all original agents of the CP department bit by bit and slowly put Wano Country's Anbu in.
Dove occupies a magpie's nest.
Akatsuki's members seem to be very good at this trick.
"Miss Robin, you lost."
Kabuto put down the chess piece in his hand and calmly adjusted his glasses, "What a pity. In the future, we can no longer play chess as leisurely as we are now..."
"Yes..."
Nico Robin nodded slowly and whispered, "Tomorrow, I'll be heading to the sea at the entrance of the Grandline..."
Kabuto looked up at Nico Robin and said, "I heard that Naraku-sama ordered you to go to the sea at the entrance of the Grandline and find a way to join the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"That's right."
Nico Robin nodded and whispered, "According to Mr. Uehara's order, I will guide them step by step to fight against the world until the pirate Straw Hat Luffy is eligible to be publicly executed by the marine..."
"Is that so?"
Kabuto pushed up his glasses and smiled, "I can give you some good suggestions here. A war will start in our hands soon. It's better to be faster, and don't let him miss this feast..."
"Huh?"
There was some doubt in Nico Robin's eyes.
Kabuto spread out his palm and continued with a smile, "According to the plan that I am about to implement in the future, the Revolutionary Army's chief of staff, Sabo, will enter the list of public execution.
During this period of time, Portgas D. Ace, the Captain of Whitebeard Pirates 2nd Division, has entered the first half of the Grandline. According to my calculations, he has also become a chess piece that fell into our trap."
Kabuto grabbed a chess piece on the chessboard and slowly held it in his hand. The smile on the corner of his mouth was a little strange, "I heard that Straw Hat Luffy is the sworn brother of the two of them. I want the three of them to reunite on Impel Down and the execution platform. Let's not waste their brotherhood... Miss Robin, what do you think?"
"..."
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Nico Robin's forehead.
Wasn't this kind of thing a bit too cruel?
How could three brothers reunite on the execution platform?
To be honest, as Nico Robin and Kabuto stayed together for more and more time, she gradually discovered how terrifying the number one subordinate of Uehara was. Even Nico Robin occasionally feared Kabuto's methods.
"I will try my best."
Nico Robin nodded slowly.
Kabuto looked at Nico Robin and continued with a smile, "If you need anything, the CP department is all our people. You can ask them to cooperate at any time. The agents of the CP9 are your old subordinates and have been following your orders."
"Yes."
Nico Robin nodded and whispered, "I understand. When I see Straw Hat Luffy, I will let them cooperate with me..."
"Actually, this kind of thing is not so complicated..."
Kabuto slowly released his palm and placed the chess piece in his palm back on the chessboard, "Let Straw Hat Luffy kill a Celestial Dragon; this charge must be enough..."
"..."
Nico Robin's expression was subtle.
When this Kabuto said that he was going to kill a Celestial Dragon, it was as if he was saying that he was going to slaughter livestock. He didn't put the Celestial Dragons in his eyes at all!
Even Nico Robin didn't dare to ignore the World Nobles!
Looking at Nico Robin's expression, Kabuto smiled and pushed up the frame on his nose. He said in a low voice, "There's nothing to be surprised about, right?"
"That's a World Noble..."
Nico Robin frowned and said, "Even if they are just attacked or even frightened, there will be an Admiral from the Marine Headquarters to help..."
Well, it seems that there was nothing to be surprised about...
Because all the Admirals was a member of Akatsuki!
"The life of the Celestial Dragons is indeed important to World Government."
Kabuto shook his head and continued with a smile, "Because the only use of this group of Celestial Dragons is to use their lives to use Mary Geoise's sacred artifact. Unfortunately, Akatsuki does not need Mary Geoise's sacred artifact."
Kabuto's eyes gradually revealed a glimmer of light, "Right now, this world is about to undergo a drastic change, and after this world changes, it is the new world that Akatsuki wants."
At this point, Kabuto's gaze darkened again, "Before the new world appears, everything in the old world will be swept clean. Before this group of Celestial Dragons is executed by Naraku-sama, Miss Robin might as well use their trash lives!"
"..."
Nico Robin still frowned. She slowly shook her head and said softly, "Let's wait until I see the members of the Straw Hat Pirate. I don't really like this..."
She hasn't seen anyone yet...
This could be considered directly controlling their fate from a distance, right?
At least she has to see what kind of people Straw Hat Luffy and his companions were, lest there were some innocent people implicated like in Ohara.
"You don't like this?"
Kabuto touched his chin and smiled, "That's right, maybe they are also a good group of friends for Miss Robin!"
After saying that, Kabuto smiled and continued, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, I might need to remind you. Don't fall too deep into the pit like Sasuke-kun and can't tell the truth from the fake..."
Sasuke was a negative example of an undercover agent.
They clearly wanted Sasuke to be an undercover agent that went deep into Whitebeard Pirates' inner circle, but in the end, this guy actually perfectly integrated into Whitebeard Pirates. Sometimes, he even forgot his own identity.
Originally, Sasuke stood at a very high position...
However, this guy chose to jump into the mire on his own.
"Forget it; maybe I was too talkative."
Kabuto tapped his finger on the chessboard and smiled, "Miss Robin is a chess player, so she shouldn't think about jumping into the chessboard and turning into a chess piece being manipulated..."
