"Damn Morgans, he really wants the world to be in chaos…"
Navy's Headquarters, Marineford —
In the Fleet Admiral's office, looking at the World Economic Newspaper that was just delivered and the above report about the Navy's massive massacre in Sabaody Archipelago made Sengoku's face livid and angry. He seemed to have aged several years overnight and no longer had the same high spirits as before.
"Damn Blood Demon·Ren! Wouldn't it be better for him to just roll into the New World? It's so frustrating!" He put down the newspaper heavily, sighed in annoyance and asked directly to the Vice Admiral Tsuru in front of him and said, "Where is Garp?"
"In a fit of anger, he went to the sea on a warship."
"Do you think I did something wrong? Tsuru…" Sengoku clenched his fists tightly. His voice was a little low, and he asked with a wry smile.
"As the Navy's Fleet Admiral, you did nothing wrong." Vice Admiral Tsuru pursed her lips and continued: "Because, even if you didn't accept the order, they would have overstepped the command and directly ordered Sakazuki. Doberman and other officers of his faction will definitely obey the orders of the World Government. Even you, the Marine Fleet Admiral, couldn't have stopped it!"
The Navy right now didn't work solely on the Fleet Admiral's words. Over a long period of time, the World Government has quietly inserted countless chess pieces. Even if Sengoku had directly disobeyed yesterday, the Five Elders would've been able to depose him as Fleet Admiral immediately.
Kong, the former Fleet Admiral and the current Commander-in-Chief of the World Government Army, would've come over to stabilize the situation. As the largest armed organization under the World Government, the Navy was huge, with large and small bases, strongholds, and military fortresses spread all over the world. In total, they had millions of troops and various warships.
Such data could make any force feel numb but why was the World Government never afraid of the Navy rebelling? Was it because the Navy's finances have been firmly controlled by the World Government, which had a tight grip on the Navy's neck?
Or whether it was because the production of weapons and ammunition, or the construction of warships, the control of these industrial chains has never been in the hands of the Navy?
They were all produced by the World Government itself or ordered from other channels and then uniformly deployed and allocated to the Navy. Even the Navy's warship orders in the Water 7 were allocated a corresponding share by the World Government to the Navy every year and are then settled uniformly by the financial department under the World Government.
If the budget exceeded the allocation, they needed to apply separately and it was likely to be directly rejected by the World Government. At the same time, the Navy was not monolithic inside and the various forces and factions were intertwined.
They have already been penetrated by CP like sand. Not to mention those hawkish faction officers, even if it was discovered that some important officers who were from the dovish faction were CP agents directly under the World Government, neither Tsuru nor Sengoku will have any surprises.
In fact, she had secretly discovered that many Marine officers were related to CP but she could just stay silent and pretend she didn't know it. Even the Fleet Admiral, who was usually very impressive and always spoke his mind but facing the Five Elders, who were the highest power controllers in the World Government, he had no ability to resist their decision.
"Would the Fleet Admiral be deposed or something else..." Sengoku put his hands on the desk and said quietly: "Once I disobey, the World Government will be furious and it won't be as simple as just one or two Marines being purged!"
He was somewhat disheartened by the cruelty and tyranny of the World Government but he knew very well that if he, the Marine Fleet Admiral, tried to directly disobey orders. By then, the Navy will be cleaned by the furious Five Elders, from top to bottom, inside and out.
The Navy will definitely be severely weakened by then. His single move will affect the whole world. After years of hard work, the situation in the sea, which has finally been suppressed and stabilized, may once again fall into the turmoil and chaos like at the beginning of the Great Pirate Age.
The ambitious pirates of New World were even more unlikely to let go of such an opportunity, and were bound to expand their territory. How many innocent people will die by then? The justice of Sengoku comes back to the justice of the "majority".
Just like the Buster Call incident in West Blue·Ohara, in this case of Sabaody Archipelago, although he was extremely conflicted in his heart, he finally made up his mind. A trade-off was made. Furthermore, Sengoku was very clear. Although he was an old subordinate of Kong but the other person was not childless and carefree like him.
Although the position of World Government Army Chief was nominally in charge of the Navy, Holy Land Guards and other forces but relatively speaking, it was just a sinecure specially established by the World Government for high-level military officials like Kong who have made outstanding contributions and worked hard to provide them with honors and preferential treatment.
However, Kong's children were also granted hereditary noble status in some affiliated country by the World Government. He had to agree that the World Government was really good at winning people's hearts.
"Not to mention that bastard Ren..." Sengoku frowned and asked directly: "What do you think about the 'Blackbeard' thing?"
Just this morning, "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach's subordinate Lafitte suddenly came to Mariejois claiming that they captured Firefist Ace, the captain of the second division of Whitebeard Pirates and were willing to hand it over to the World Government as a trade off for "Blackbeard" to join as a Shichibukai.
The Admiral Candidate of Navy, Gion, has already gone to take Ace. This allowed Sengoku to see an opportunity. An opportunity to minimize the negative impact of the Sabaody Archipelago incident, restoring the just image of the Navy and re-establishing its prestige.
"Bulu~~~Bulu~~~" Vice Admiral Tsuru has not spoken yet but the Den Den Mushi on the desk suddenly rang.
Glancing at the color of the Den Den Mushi, Tsuru said, "Well, I think someone is thinking the same thing as us!"
"Moshi-Moshi, Fleet Admiral Sengoku speaking…" Although there was a lot of unpleasantness yesterday because of the Sabaody Archipelago incident but Sengoku still sorted out his emotions, suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and restored his former calmness & composure.
"Sengoku, it's us."
"Your Excellency Five Elders, may I have any instructions?"
"Since the beginning of the so-called Great Pirate Era, those pirates, like locusts, constantly make trouble everywhere. They have indeed become more and more arrogant! It's time to show the Navy's powerful heritage and severely shock these ambitious guys who want to challenge the majesty of the World Government and let them know who is the real overlord of the sea!"
"What do you mean by this, your excellency?" Sengoku's expression perked up. Obviously, the other party had the same idea as him.
"About 'Blackbeard' Marshall D Teach's gift…" The majestic voice of the Five Elders came out from the Den Den Mushi: "The World Government has just made a decision to publicly execute 'Fire Fist' Portgas D. Ace, who has been confirmed to be the son of Pirate King Roger and has the blood of the devil flowing in his body. It will be broadcasted live around the world. It's best to attract the Whitebeard Pirates and take the opportunity to completely annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
"Then where is the public execution place?" Sengoku said with a stern look.
"Haven't you Marines been preparing for a long time? The location should be at Marineford! This time, don't let us down again!"
