Chapter 127 Actions Between Powers
Marie Gioia, Between the Powers.
Nasu Shoulang Sheng frowned with a long sword on his shoulder. He had a big problem in the power situation today.
As the God of Finance, he is responsible for the collection and distribution of heavenly gold.
"The ship from the East China Sea that was escorting Tian Shang Jin has disappeared."
"Missing?"
Saint Satan looked up and said, "Because of Garp, there haven't been any pirates in the East Sea in recent years. On the CP0 side, who is responsible for escorting the East Sea side?"
The God of Law and War, Saint Vochuli, replied: "Navalta. His two-color Haki training is OK, and his Observation Haki has broken the limit and he has some special abilities."
Compared to Armament Haki, Observation Haki is to some extent the same as Conqueror Haki, for example, some insects are born with it.
Roger's ability to listen to the sounds of all things and the woman eighty-six years ago who could change people's hearts, these are all innate abilities of seeing and hearing.
As for Navalta, after practicing his Observation Haki to a certain level, he gained the ability to predict the future.
Saint Satan, the god of scientific defense, had a gloomy look in his eyes.
Recently, Germa was brought back, and Vinsmoke Judge has been working diligently in Punk Hazard. There are many places in scientific research that require money.
Although they can freely obtain resources from this world, the meaning of their existence is the stability of the ocean.
Bugs are still bugs, but they will not trample on the rules they set.
So... Bailey is still needed.
"Is there no clue from the CP side?"
Nasu Shoulang Sheng shook his head slightly and gripped the hilt of the knife: "The escort ship disappeared without a trace in the East China Sea. Even the person in charge of CP0 escorting Tian Shangjin this time only discovered the problem when they were in regular contact."
Mazi Saint said: "If a dog loses its sharp teeth, there is no meaning for the dog to exist."
Nasu Shoulang nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement: "Then who will be responsible for CP0?"
In just a few words, the fate of a CP0 leader was determined.
Peter Saint suggested: "During the last North Sea operation against Germa, Spandine from CP9 was in line with the meaning of CP's existence."
Saint Satan then spoke up, "I second the motion. The South China Sea Operation and O'Hara's Demon Killing Order both reveal his inner thoughts."
Saint Vochuli, who is in charge of legal affairs, nodded slightly: "Then let him investigate and be promoted to the person in charge of CP0. He doesn't need to have strong force, but he must obey. This is an obedient dog."
It's a matter of course, as if this kind of cognition is innate.
Like all celestial beings, they do not consider themselves to be the same species as ordinary people. Those who obey are dogs, and everyone else is a bug.
"The East China Sea doesn't have extremely bad weather. The escort ship has Navalta, so it won't be so easy for the pirates in the East China Sea to kill it."
Saint Satan continued, "There is not much Heavenly Gold in the East China Sea. But if the other party feels it is easy in this situation, then the next transportation of Heavenly Gold will be even more dangerous."
Saint Nasujuro slowly pulled out his long sword and wiped it gently.
"If you're a bug, you need to be a bug. If you show up again, you'll be crushed."
"There's one more thing."
Saint Vouchuri said with a deep look in his eyes: "Kaido was defeated in Wano Country, and only Kaido and a cadre were killed in the Beasts Pirates. One of the former MADS members, Quinn, is missing. This was originally one of our options."
"As mentioned before, the intelligence agency has calculated the core temperature of the battle in Wano Country at the research institute... 6,000 degrees."
After the words were spoken, the other four people in power were silent for a while.
In the past eight hundred years, no insect has been able to survive after having the blood of God on its hands three times.
Even Rocks was the same back then.
But there is only one person whose true appearance the World Government has not figured out even now, and the bounty orders issued by the Navy can only be temporarily represented by the cloaked man.
And since that incident in the Sabaody Archipelago, the next time it appeared should be in Wano Country. The flames were so high that it couldn't have been from anyone else.
Because even for Sakaski, the user of the Lava Fruit, the temperature of his lava is only one thousand five hundred degrees.
"It's been several months. If we go there now, we should be able to see if Wano Country has been occupied by the Revolutionary Army."
"Before this, CP agents were able to enter Wano Country safely because of their cooperation with Kaido, but now they need the ability to fly."
"You can also go up there by Moon Step, but it will be easy to be discovered once you go up there. What we need to know is whether the Revolutionary Army has replaced Kaido and occupied that place."
"Wano Country is very special..."
"If this was intentional, then the Revolutionary Army, these bugs, must know too much..."
"Not afraid of the teleportation ability of P-substance, nor the 6,000-degree high-temperature flame, the Institute has focused on developing equipment that can counter the Cloak Man's abilities."
"The technology to isolate space is not easy."
"Ever since Roger was executed in Rogue Town, this sea has become increasingly chaotic."
After the words were spoken, the five people fell silent again.
The responsibility of the five of them in power in Mary Joa is to maintain stability while maintaining power and plundering resources.
There must be pirates in this sea, because without the oppression of pirates, those bugs will not obediently surrender. Some of the idiots in the navy will also have other ideas.
The best situation is when pirates and the navy have formed a certain balance.
But now, because of Roger's words, more and more pirates from all over the world are pouring into the Grand Line, but this is not the most troublesome thing.
For months, maybe even years, the issue of the cloaked man has been at the center of discussion among the powers that be, and now there's a revolutionary army that has disappeared.
Revolution... What these bugs want to overthrow is Marijoa's power to rule the world for 800 years!
"Except for Wano Country, CP's agents have no more clues about the Revolutionary Army?"
Saint Satan asked.
"some."
Nasujuro Sei's eyes narrowed slightly: "In fact, it's not just Wano Country. The reason why Wano Country was singled out is because of the existence of the cloaked man."
"Since the last time the Revolutionary Army withdrew from the Five Nations, the Revolutionary Army has been present in the Four Seas and the Grand Line. CP agents have also captured members of the Revolutionary Army several times. But..."
He didn't finish his words, but the other four people in the power room understood.
At this time, Saint Vochuli said: "According to the intelligence, the members of the Revolutionary Army that have been captured so far have no intention of revealing any information about the Revolutionary Army."
"Severe torture and torture cannot change the will of this group of people. In addition, CP also inadvertently learned a situation about the Revolutionary Army: that is, most members of the Revolutionary Army have dual-color domineering."
At once, several people looked over.
They know the source of their dominance, and only with an unwavering will can they awaken this power.
In this case, it seems understandable that the torture did not yield any information.
Nasu Shoulang sheathed the long sword: "Keep searching. As long as we know the headquarters of this group of insects, it will be their doom."
Saint Vochuli nodded and said, "We can give it a try. Although two of the five people were rescued and three committed suicide, this is not enough to prove that all the revolutionary army members are determined."
……
One week later, at the Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Garp, who came back from the East China Sea, was unhappy and kicked open the door of Sengoku's office.
"You can't even let people rest properly during holidays. Sengoku, just because you don't have a grandson, do you think everyone else doesn't have a grandson like you? If I don't finish all the senbei you hid today, I will..."
As soon as he came in, Karp held back the words he had not finished speaking.
Even this guy Zefa is here?
Then he found a seat and sat down carelessly: "What's the matter? Isn't it just that the Celestial Dragons' gold was robbed? It's just a drop in the bucket for them, why are you so sad?"
Zhan Guo didn't have the heart to pay attention to him at this moment.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was sitting below, picked up a document and handed it over. On it was an order to siege the waters of Wano Country.
Surrounded?
Karp was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed as well.
At the same time, he also understood why all the old guys were sitting in this office today.
Because only the older generation of navy officers would know what such an action order means.
After flipping through the command document, Karp was a little confused by the contents.
The Navy cooperated with the CP organization to blockade the waters of Wano Country to prevent any life from escaping. Apart from that, there was no requirement for a demon-slaying order, nor was there an order for the Navy's high-end combat forces to engage in combat.
Sengoku rubbed his forehead: "It is obvious that the higher-ups are planning to wipe out Wano Country."
Erase.
They knew exactly what this word represented. More than ten years ago, the Valley of the Gods was wiped off the map overnight, without leaving any trace.
"It seems that the cloaked man is not an exception..."
Garp sighed and said, "He killed three Celestial Dragons and still got away with it. It seems that the cloaked man will be no exception."
He didn't think that the cloaked man could withstand an attack that could destroy an island in one blow. That was not a force that one individual could contend with.
"If the purpose of erasing Wano Country is the Cloak Man, then the World Government is still planning to use the Revolutionary Army to contain his teleportation ability."
Vice Admiral Tsuru paused for a moment, then continued, "Due to the special surrounding environment of Wano Country and its policy of isolation, it is difficult for intelligence personnel to enter except through the harbor. So now the World Government has learned that the Revolutionary Army and the Cloaked People are in Wano Country?"
As soon as the words fell, Zhan Guo understood instantly.
There are two possibilities for this order notification. One is that the intelligence has been confirmed that the Revolutionary Army has occupied Wano Country and the Cloaked Man is also there.
That's why they used such a powerful weapon to completely kill the Cloaked Man and the Revolutionary Army, and buried the entire Wano Country with them.
The other situation is that the world government has not confirmed it either, but once it confirms it will immediately launch a plan to erase it.
Once and for all?
Together with the special Wano Country.
Thinking of this, Sengoku dialed Den Den Mushi directly and connected to the office of the G5 branch base chief.
"Bulu Bulu... Bulu Bulu..."
The voice of Den Den Mushi rang out, and the marshal's office became very quiet.
"Crack!"
The Den Den Mushi was connected, and a lazy snail wearing sunglasses appeared in front of them.
"Marshal Sengoku, has the previous bounty been paid? The pirate hunters here have come several times. If you don't pay them, they will dismantle the G5 branch."
"You know, G5 is a poor place with bad water and poor mountains. There is no income at all. I can't do anything even if I use the navy's salary to advance it!"
"The other pirate hunter with the knife is very strong. I can't beat him. He warned me before that if I didn't pay him, he would rob the branch and become a pirate directly."
A lot of babble came directly from the Den Den Mushi. Zhan Guo tried to interrupt several times but failed. Instead, his brows furrowed more and more.
A pirate hunter with a knife? A pirate?
Do you really think that our headquarters doesn't know about the executioner's old tricks in the West Sea?
Those with bounties below 30 million are forgotten, but those with bounties above 100 million are definitely killed by this guy himself.
And how could Kevin, who had always been ruthless towards pirates, become a pirate?
It's impossible to be a pirate even if you are in the Revolutionary Army!
"This headquarters has a mission for you, Lieutenant General Kevin!"
Sengoku's voice made Den Den Mushi pause.
But soon Kevin's voice sounded again: "I can't go out recently! That pirate hunter hangs around the door every day. If I leave, this branch might be dismantled by him."
Just as Sengoku was about to continue speaking, Zephyr, who had remained silent, interrupted him.
"Kevin."
"Hmm? Why does this voice sound so much like old man Zefa? Generally speaking, isn't there only Vice Admiral Tsuru in the Marshal's office? You two are the ones who use your brains, so you usually don't bring people who use their muscles, right?"
Zefa's forehead was bruised. "Okay, it's me. We need you to go to CP and ask for a job investigating Wano Country."
Immediately afterwards, Vice Admiral Tsuru also spoke up: "If you can make yourself the head of the investigation of Wano Country and complete this mission, the previous bounty can be paid to the G5 branch in full."
These words changed Kevin's expression on Den Den Mushi.
"Okay, no problem. I'll call Spandine right now, but I don't know if it will work."
Zhan Guo's face changed: "Why? I remember your relationship with that Spandine..."
"Mr. Marshal Zhan Guo."
Kevin interrupted him: "Good relationships also require money to maintain. CP is different from our Navy Headquarters. It is similar to some branches. It costs money to do things."
Crane said, "Give it, but the upper limit is 5 million Baileys. Also, if the money is spent but the work is not done, then the headquarters will not pay any bounties offered by the G branch in the future."
Kevin, who was on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, spread his hands, which means that this old lady was the hardest to fool in the entire headquarters.
"Understand. We are all family. How can family members betray each other? I am a vice admiral of the navy, not a member of the CP."
He frowned. From the tone and expression on the phone, she felt that if she hadn't said that just now, the other party might have really been calling her a jerk for taking the money without doing any work.
