Chapter 256 Naval Operations
Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.
In the general's office.
Click, click...
The sound of crunching and cracking senbei kept coming from the sofa, along with the sound of gurgling water.
Buddha Zhizhi Warring States held a stack of thick white documents in his arms. As soon as he entered the office, he heard a noise that sounded like firecrackers.
At a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, Warring States' eyebrows frowned tightly together, and at the same time, his face became dark and gloomy.
"Garp!"
Warring States glared angrily at Garp who was half lying on the sofa in the office, and shouted angrily.
"Why did you come to my office? And you even stole my senbei!"
"Because I've finished eating my own donuts... Kacha... I thought you might still have some in stock, so I ran here... Gulu... ah! I've finished eating! It feels so good!"
Garp, who did not have the demeanor of a lieutenant general in his headquarters, threw the empty senbei bag aside, picked up the teacup and drank heavily, and then made a pleasant and comfortable sound.
Veins sprouted on Warring States' forehead. He silently moved the position of the document in his arms, and was about to free his right hand to give this old monkey-like bastard a "friendship-breaking fist".
But at the next moment, Garp's words successfully calmed down Sengoku.
"It was Ahe who told me that your office has a new batch of black pepper flavored senbei... Well, it does taste very good!"
"Ahe? Did she tell you?"
Sengoku walked quickly to the desk, put down the files, put his arms on the table and crossed his fingers.
"It seems that she has something to discuss with us."
As a fellow naval officer and having fought and worked together for decades, Sengoku understood Crane's character very well.
"Ah? Really?" Garp scratched his head in hindsight and said unclearly, "Do you want to discuss the taste of new senbei?"
"Discussing the taste of snacks?" Warring States looked at Garp speechlessly, "To discuss this, it is better to talk more about Newgate's silly son!"
"Hahahaha! Warring States, it seems that you also think that little fool is an eyesore!"
Kapton burst out laughing, with tears in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that a guy like Newgate would give birth to such a big fat boy!"
Some time ago, the news that Golden Lion Shiji had escaped from Impel Down City suddenly caused huge waves on the sea.
Garp and Sengoku were ordered to lead the warship to the New World. While responsible for destroying the remnants of the Sky Pirates, they also needed to meet with Whitebeard Edward Newgate.
Let's see if there will be any exchange of information between the two old-era pirates.
The first purpose of the operation failed.
When Sengoku and Garp tried to find the remnants of the Flying Pirates who had been in desolation for a long time due to the loss of their leader based on the navy's secret intelligence, they unexpectedly came up empty.
The group of flying pirates, who now only have two or three big cats and kittens, disappeared completely a few days ago.
Also missing was an island in the new world where the Flying Pirates were stationed.
The place where the island used to be has turned into a sea of rolling waves.
Even Garp, who is very nervous, can know that this is definitely a good thing done by Golden Lion Shiji!
Being able to make an entire island disappear so easily. Currently, except for Shiji, the golden lion who ate the fluttering fruit, no one else on the sea can do this.
After searching the nearby waters, Garp and Sengoku still found nothing, so they had to divert to the current location of the Whitebeard Pirates.
After experiencing a shocking battle like a "meeting ceremony".
Sengoku and Garp also successfully learned from Whitebeard that Shiki the Golden Lion did come to the Moby Dick after escaping from Impel Down City, and confessed his ambitions to Whitebeard without reservation.
Golden Lion Shiji wants to disappear temporarily on the sea for a while, and then let this warm new era feel the terror of real pirates.
Although Whitebeard didn't know what the hell that guy Shichi was planning, he still informed Garp and Sengoku about the matter.
It's not that he can't keep secrets, but this is Golden Lion Shiji's plan.
"If those guys from the Navy come to you, tell them this. I will let them immerse themselves in unknown panic every day... Jie hahahaha!"
Both Garp and Sengoku are very aware of the difficulty of Golden Lion Shiji, especially his Piaoliang Fruit, and they all attach great importance to this information.
But their attention was still inevitably attracted by the new tall boy who appeared on the Moby-Dick.
Because, the fat boy who looked a little taller than White Beard called White Beard - "Dad"!
You know, although Whitebeard has always hoped to have a united "sea family".
But those "sons" or "daughters" who are accepted into the pirate group will always call him "daddy"!
This is the first time a fat boy calls "Daddy"!
Garp and Sengoku even knew the name of the fat boy - "Edward Weibull"!
In the general's office.
Sengoku didn't laugh as wildly as Garp showed, but had a serious expression.
"Although I really don't want to admit it, you can tell from that kid's name and physique that even if this 'Weeble' is not Newgate's biological son, he definitely has a close relationship!"
With Garp's temperament, how could he care about these insignificant things? Instead, he asked with interest:
"Sengoku, who do you think the Newgate guy's wife is? What does she look like? When did they get together?"
Warring States looked at Garp who had no eyesight in annoyance, and said sarcastically: "Speaking of this, monkey, where is your wife?"
"Ahem!"
Kapton suddenly blushed and coughed violently.
Just then.
Holding a compiled document in his arms, General Hezhong knocked on the door and entered the office with a calm expression.
"Sengoku, Garp, what are you two talking about? You can hear that exaggerated voice from outside the door."
"Nothing! Ahe, why are you here too!" Garp jumped up from the sofa in a hurry, and changed the subject in a panic, "We are talking about the new flavor of senbei."
"Huh? Really?"
Lieutenant General He glanced back and forth between Garp and Sengoku, deciding not to expose the private topics between the two middle-aged men.
Warring States pushed up his glasses and said nonchalantly: "Ahe, did you find out any new information when you asked Garp to come to my office?"
"There is a little bit about the latest movements of Golden Lion Shiji," Hezhong pulled out a few documents from his arms and handed them to Warring States. "A few more islands have disappeared on the Grand Route. According to the calculated route, it should be It’s towards the windless zone.”
"Is that guy Shiji going to hide in the windless zone for a while?"
Sengoku frowned.
"Not even the navy has the ability to drive a fleet there. For him, it is a quiet and undisturbed place."
"The Ministry of Intelligence has no further explanation on this point. Who knows what Golden Lion Shiji's true inner thoughts are?"
Lieutenant General He shook his head and handed the remaining pile of information to Warring States, holding only the remaining two thin pages in his hand.
"This is the information collected from the Sihai Branch in recent times, about the 'immortal refugees'. Those strange and immortal people have disappeared at the same time."
Warring States flipped through a few pages of information in his hand, then raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything important about these immortal refugees?"
"What is really important is not this group of undead refugees, but a certain person that this group of undead refugees may be related to."
He Zhong will hand over the last two pages of information in his hand to Sengoku.
"White Ghost."
"White ghost?!"
Warring States immediately tensed up and took the information with a serious face, only to find that it was all about the introduction of members of a small Xihai gang.
"The local Razor Gang in Xihai? The name of a small gang that I have never heard of."
Lieutenant General He said: "This is the intelligence information I asked the Xihai Naval Branch to secretly collect after O'Hara's demon-slaying order more than half a year ago."
Warring States looked calm and listened with peace of mind.
Garp stopped laughing and playing.
"According to branch intelligence, when White Ghost first became famous in the West Sea, it was based on the destruction of the [Capone Gang]."
"After the demise of the Capone gang, a new gang [the Razor Party] was quickly born on Otephe Island, the original home base of the Capone gang."
"Although there is no direct evidence, the leader of the Razor Party, Tommy Shelby, possesses the superhuman ability of the Explosive Fruit; and this fruit appeared at an auction in the North Sea more than two years ago; At that time, the White Ghost seemed to be operating within the North Sea for unknown reasons.”
Lieutenant General He said clearly and clearly, while she glanced at Sengoku lightly.
"In addition, the host of that auction was the Don Quixote family, and the highest leader of the family was Don Quixote Doflamingo."
Warring States' pupils shrank slightly. This familiar surname reminded him of his adopted son.
General Hezhong continued: "In addition, according to intelligence, there is a large amount of trade between the Don Quixote family in the North Sea and the Razor Party in the West Sea. They are one of the few gang organizations that can trade across the sea."
"It's just that compared to the unlimited Don Quixote family, the Razor Party will only do some normal business transactions, and at most it will only involve arms transactions. This is... very rare among gangs!"
Warring States asked: "Ahe, do you suspect that White Ghost is the person behind this 'Razor Party'?"
"I don't doubt that."
Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General He shook his head.
"But I think White Ghost is the person who promoted the establishment of the Razor Party. And the real person in charge is still Tommy Shelby."
"What do you two mean by saying this?"
Cap interjected.
"I remember that White Ghost has been active near the G13 branch recently? He wiped out all the pirates in Magic Valley Town, and then went to the Navy branch to forcefully demand the bounty... Hahahaha, a pirate like him is really It’s quite interesting!”
"That brat from Huoshaoshan was almost scolded to death by Zefa!"
General Hezhong brought the topic back on track.
"This is also the reason why I deny that White Ghost is the person behind the scenes of the Razor Party. The trajectory of White Phantom's activities has too little involvement with the Razor Party, which lives deep in the West Sea."
"I don't quite understand, Ahe."
Warring States frowned and clarified the information and reports in his hands one by one.
"Golden Lion, Undead Refugee, Razor Party, White Ghost... There seems to be no relationship between these four, right?"
Lieutenant General He said: "Except for the golden lion, the last three are involved."
"If you have read the report carefully during the Warring States period, you will know that most of the strength of the Razor Party is supported by the undead refugees."
"In the recent period, the undead refugees have disappeared collectively. The Razor Party, which lacks a large amount of immediate combat power, will undoubtedly face a wave of impact from other forces in the West Sea."
"If the Razor Party was originally founded by the White Ghost, as I suspected, then if they cannot withstand the attacks of other forces, they will most likely ask for help from the White Ghost."
"By then, we will be able to successfully find the traces of the White Ghost!"
Garp asked: "It seems that gangs are not within the jurisdiction of our navy, right?"
Lieutenant General He calmly replied:
"What's the big difference between gangsters and pirates? Although the Razor Party has a pretty good reputation locally, gangsters are still gangsters after all. Besides, I'm just going to quietly add fuel to the flames and see what happens. It can’t be done.”
Warring States looked serious and said: "Ahe, how sure are you about this matter?"
"Actually, to be honest, I'm not sure." Lieutenant General He shrugged, "All these are just my guesses. I'm just fulfilling the duties of the Intelligence Department."
Looking at his two old comrades, Lieutenant General He added: "However, this is the only one we know of at present, and there may be a chance to find traces of the White Ghost."
"It's too dangerous to let a pirate with a bounty of more than 1.6 billion Baileys wander around and be a lone ranger with no fixed address, isn't it?"
Sengoku finally reacted. He first looked at Garp, then turned to look at Crane.
"Ahe, do you want to give it a try and execute the [Demon Slaying Order] against White Ghost again? Just like what Marshal Kong did to the aloof Red Redfield?"
"No!" Lieutenant General He denied, "White Ghost is not the Red Count. His abilities are more troublesome than the Red Count. If you want to deal with him, the huge scale of the Demon-Slaying Order cannot have any blocking effect."
Lieutenant General He said her plan, "If possible, I would rather have Sengoku and Garp go to the West Sea alone and wait for the opportunity in secret."
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Garp actually said: "This...could he be too optimistic about the strength of the white ghost?"
"Garp, if you have never fought against the White Ghost, you really can't understand how difficult that kid is."
Warring States stood up calmly and sorted out the information and reports in his hands.
"I'm going to see Marshal Kong right now."
