Chapter 186 It’s the Revolutionary Army!

A knock on the door interrupted Zhan Guo's thoughts.

"Come in."

"Click."

The door of the office was pushed open, and a colonel from the intelligence department of the Navy Headquarters walked in, bowed and handed Zhan Guo a document.

"According to the intelligence just sent back, 60% of the pirates who originally attacked the naval branches and towns in the Grand Line evacuated this morning."

"The pressure on the vice admirals who were sent out to support the headquarters has been reduced a lot. The pirates in the four seas have also calmed down. The number of pirates pouring into the entrance of the Grand Line from Upside Down Mountain has increased sharply today."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo began to look through the documents.

After a while he looked up and asked, "How's the tracking of those owls going?"

The colonel replied: "The intelligence personnel have been tracking them for a long time, but these newspaper delivery owls seem to have been strictly trained. After selling all the newspapers, they will fly above the clouds. And... they will pay attention to whether someone is following them."

Zhan Guo frowned slightly.

Will you pay special attention to whether someone is following you?

Morgans of the World Economic News, the bird-bird fruit albatross form, cannot achieve this level.

The ability of the flying fruit itself is rare, and the navy's intelligence department can only rely on numbers, but this group of owls actually has the awareness to get rid of tracking.

And flying above the clouds... this is not the habit of birds like owls.

"Got it. Keep observing for a while. The channel of this newspaper is very important, and the intelligence department needs to keep at it for a while."

The colonel saluted: "Understood."

After the intelligence department people left, an anti-wiretap Den Den Mushi on Zhan Guo's desk rang.

"crane."

"Sengoku. Maybe... the Revolutionary Army."

It was just one conversation, but Zhan Guo's eyes were slightly focused.

After the Four Emperors' bait was thrown, all the pirates were in a frenzy. Even Vice Admiral Tsuru set sail and left the headquarters.

Of course, He also received the newspapers that were spread all over the world last night.

This reminder made Zhan Guo, who was already known as a wise general, instantly think of many things, such as the strange stance revealed in the entire newspaper.

Yes, only the revolutionary army would help the navy while not forgetting to step on Sakaski.

Only the Revolutionary Army could divert the pirates' attention away from ordinary people in this way.

It now seems that the easy-to-understand analysis throughout the article was intended to make the pirates understand that killing civilians is useless and that if they want to become the Four Emperors, they must achieve the goal of reducing the number of pirates.

After sighing, Zhan Guo asked, "How long will it take you to come back?"

Crane replied, "It will take some time. The Don Quixote family in the North Sea is making a big move. They have already shown interest in being a broker in the underworld. I have tracked down clues about Doflamingo."

Zhan Guo hesitated for a moment and replied, "Okay. If you need support, you can contact the headquarters at any time."

Den Den Mushi hung up and Sengoku looked out the window.

Compared to Zephyr and Garp, of the four people who fought together at the beginning, only Crane is still reliable. Just one phone call solved the troubling doubts.

Revolutionary Army?

Such a group of people have begun to master powers that they should not have. The five people on Mary Geoise are not fools.

The Navy was able to know that the revolutionary army was behind the newspaper just by guessing without any evidence, and the Five Elders were able to guess the same.

……

At the same time, Kuzan left Sengoku's office and walked towards the headquarters cafeteria with a newspaper in his hand.

Is this the surprise Kevin mentioned?
So the family should have the power to deliver newspapers to the whole world just like the Newsbird.

It was noon, and Kuzan walked into the cafeteria, causing the originally noisy scene to suddenly become quiet.

Looking around, Kuzan found a familiar figure and sat down.

The huge round table was filled with meat, and a giant lieutenant general was eating and drinking with big mouthfuls.

Lancelotti glanced at Kuzan and said, "Everyone is discussing Sakaski's affairs. Yesterday's newspaper had a big impact. And now that you, who is also a candidate general, are here, the atmosphere has become a little cold."

Kuzan took a bone and chewed on it, then gulped down a glass of wine. "That guy and I are not from the same era, and he should all know about my dispute with him in O'Hara, right?"

The obviously amplified sound made the cafeteria gradually become lively again.

And within a few minutes the topic returned to the newspaper that was spread all over the sea last night.

"Only Vice Admiral Sakaski survived the entire voyage..."

"The other party is BiGMOM, what else?"

"The reason why it's BiGMOM should have been something Vice Admiral Sakaski could have figured out from the beginning, right? No one else could have survived except him."

"So you think Vice Admiral Sakaski is going to kowtow to a pirate? BiGMOM, but he's a pirate with the ability to fly!"

"But……"

"No buts! Don't be influenced by that weird newspaper! Inciting people and making the plans of the World Government and the Navy public is also a crime!"

The sound of discussion coming from the table on the left could be heard. Kuzan and the other two showed no expression and continued to eat meat and drink.

On the other hand, the results of the discussion were completely opposite.

"We shouldn't provoke BiGMOM in that situation. Ordinary marines are also colleagues. Their deaths are meaningless."

"The entire warship was split in two, and the power of BiGMOM burned everyone. The pain can be imagined."

"We all grew up from the bottom of the marines. If we don't care, then ordinary marines are really just consumables?"

……

For a while, there were constant discussions in the cafeteria.

Information circulated quickly, and even the middle-level navy already knew the capabilities of the Four Emperors.

For example, regarding BiGMOM’s flying capability, in fact, if mid-level lieutenants are not qualified to attend the meeting, they are basically unaware of it.

But at this moment, whether it is BiGMOM, Whitebeard or Kaido, their special abilities other than the three colors of domineering were also interpreted in detail by the newspaper.

The discussion was not just about the report on Sakaski, the front-page article "Four Emperors as Bait" was also being discussed.

"Using a name as bait to induce pirates to kill each other, this plan is too shocking."

"Have you forgotten the Marshal's title? The wise general Zhan Guo, this could only be the Marshal's idea."

"Haha! Do you know how many towns were massacred by pirates and how many people died in just half a month?"

"During this period, each of us has been on a mission. Didn't you see the tragic situation in those towns? Didn't you see the corpses scattered all over the ground?"

"For the sake of future stability, these are necessary sacrifices, right?"

An obviously weak voice argued.

But then...

"boom."

The tabletop was slapped, and a lieutenant stood up with red eyes: "So this is your reason? Necessary sacrifice? Then what is the meaning of the navy's existence? Is it to make ordinary people have to make necessary sacrifices?"

As he spoke, the lieutenant raised his hands tremblingly and gestured to a distance of about seventy centimeters.

"Such a young child! A child not even one year old was impaled on a knife and nailed to the wall, with her parents' heads decapitated right below her! So... so this is also necessary?!"

It seemed that his pent-up emotions exploded at this moment. He pointed his finger at the major who had just spoken, without caring about the other party's rank at all, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

"As a navy, what are our responsibilities and obligations? The food piled on the table and the drinks in front of you, aren't these given by them?"

The major took up the glass and drank it all. "These are the funds given by the World Government, including your salary, my salary, and the benefits of the navy. Also, watch your attitude! Lieutenant!"

"boom!"

The wine glass that he had just put down was slapped away by a slap. The lieutenant stared at the other person with his eyes wide open.

"Don't you know where the funds allocated to the Navy by the World Government come from?! Those days..."

Before he could finish his words, a chill broke out in the cafeteria.

The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared above the lieutenant, and with one hand covered with armed color domineering, he pressed his head on the table.

Lancelotti suppressed the lieutenant so that he could not raise his head, but he smiled at the major in front of him and said, "This guy really needs to be disciplined. Tell your superiors that I will take good care of him."

The major was stunned for a moment when he looked at Lancelotti, who was holding the rank of major general in front of him, then he quickly stood up, saluted and agreed.

Although the chill just now was only a touch away, he knew very well who made that move. Thinking of the rumored Lieutenant General Kuzan, it would be better to hand this fool over to the Major General in front of him.

Nodding, Lancelotti twisted the lieutenant's arm and turned to leave the cafeteria.

Next to Kuzan, who had just stopped eating for a while, if his friend had not helped him, he might have thrown the bone in his hand over.

Soon, after finishing his lunch, Kuzan signaled to Lacroix and left. Three minutes later, Lacroix also got up and left.

After the chill just now, the entire cafeteria, including the chef, fell silent.

It wasn't until all three of them left that it resumed.

"You really dare to say anything..."

"Do you really think you are Mr. Garp? How dare you call... those people directly."

"Young people's blood is not cold yet, isn't it normal?"

"So sometimes I envy them because their will is strongest at this time."

"So you want to try Mr. Garp's way? Let's go to the warship port and see those warships that were smashed by fists first."

"Hey... it's just talk."

……

Lancelotti twisted the lieutenant who was just full of vigor and spirit out and put him down: "From today on, you will be on my warship. I will retrieve the files later."

The lieutenant was put down and rubbed his neck. He couldn't make any sound under the force just now.

But this doesn't mean he gave in.

He is a lone man, and his only purpose in joining the navy is to take revenge on pirates.

However, yesterday's newspaper shattered all his fantasies about the navy.

Ever since the chaos of pirates on the sea began, he has been providing support day and night at sea.

Countless towns on the Grand Line were massacred by pirates. Each scene reminded him of his past, and every time he wished he could eat those pirates alive.

However, even though he was so tired, he could feel his will becoming stronger, because as a navy he was always on the road to hunt pirates.

It was not until yesterday that he read the newspaper and learned that the reason for the massacre in the town was actually due to the wrong planning of the World Government and the Navy.

And after the mistake, they chose to abandon some of the people, abandoning those lives that might be wailing and waiting for rescue.

Such truth dealt a huge blow to his will, and that was why he had such an emotional outburst today and angrily scolded his superiors.

"Giggle..."

The lieutenant sitting on the ground laughed out loud. His eyes, which had not slept since yesterday, were bloodshot. He raised his head slightly and looked at the major general in front of him: "So you think so too? And Lieutenant General Kuzan?"

Without waiting for Lancelotti to answer, he laughed to himself, "The entire navy is rotten! Even Vice Admiral Kuzan, Mr. Garp's disciple, looks at ordinary people in this way."

Obviously, although he was only a lieutenant, he also knew the source of the chill.

At this time, a lazy figure walked over.

"So you are prepared to die as a martyr? But your death will probably not have any effect. You are just a small lieutenant. Even within the navy, no one will change because of it."

Kuzan looked down at him and said, "Even Mr. Garp started to insist on his own ideas after he became a hero of the navy. You are just a lieutenant. Do you know what kind of impact your words just now will cause?"

"You think the navy is rotten. But when you finish saying that, do you know how many people will start to pay the price and save you because of your ignorance?"

The lieutenant was stunned when he heard this, and stared at Kuzan with red eyes.

"You are not the only one who is righteous, it's just that others are smarter than you."

After he finished speaking, Kuzan didn't say another word and walked towards La Croix with Lancelotti.

But the lieutenant who was standing behind him suddenly laughed.

His body kept shaking, but when he was in great despair, he saw hope.

……

"Hahaha!"

Lacroix smiled and said, "Kuzan is really a gentle person."

Lancelotti sighed: "There are many young people like this in the navy. What they have seen and heard over the years has changed many people's initial righteousness."

As he said this, he looked at Kuzan, thought for a moment, leaned over and whispered, "What about the newspaper...what's going on at home?"

Kuzan nodded slightly without leaving any trace. "Take care of that kid. Don't mention anything about family matters for a while. Just keep his will firm. For now, we'll focus on keeping him stable, but we can also arrange for some potential members to be on board."

Lancelotti responded: "Who is that... Black Arm? Teacher Zefa?"

Kuzan glanced at him and said, "Why don't you go ask Mr. Zefa?"

……

In the afternoon, at the youth training camp of the Navy Headquarters.

As the chief instructor of the youth training camp, Zefa has been living in the youth training camp. His family has long been gone, and naturally he has no home either.

A newspaper was placed aside at this moment, and Zefa was looking at the students in front of him with a fascinated look.

In the outdoor training ground, the new batch of students are sweating profusely. They take Kevin as their target and want to fight for justice.

The implementation of the Shichibukai system was a desperate risk on the life of the vice admiral.

They also want to become that kind of navy, so they work so hard.

At this moment, Zefa had paragraphs of text flashing through his mind, as if those words had special magic.

General?
But a general who values ​​life is sometimes not a qualified general.

The title of not killing the general has become the greatest shame for him since the day his relative died.

Now, his hatred for pirates is no less than anyone else, and he has regretted his previous persistence more than once.

"teacher."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Zefa was not angry when his thoughts were interrupted. Compared to Kevin's youth training camp, Zefa's attitude towards the students was much more relaxed now that he was older.

The student wiped the sweat off his face with a smile, then asked hesitantly, "Is that black-armed general in the newspaper referring to you? Or is he based on you?"

Zefa was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "I don't know, I don't even know who wrote this newspaper. But don't hold back on pirates, that's my advice."

If I had not insisted on not killing at that time, then my wife and children would not have died, right?

The student nodded in confusion and left. He could feel the change in Zefa's mood.

Ze Fa Ze sighed, looked at the newspaper again, and thought to himself that the general named Black Wrist might make a different choice.

……

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village.

Kevin spent the morning practicing swordplay here and doing some typing.

The response to the first issue of the New Era Newspaper was very good from within the Navy's perspective. The analysis that revealed the intentions of the World Government and the Navy also made the pirates believe what was said in the newspaper.

At least now there are not so many attacking pirates from the G5 branch. Judging from this, the situation in the entire ocean has also eased.

However, the first issue of the newspaper did not contain many new ideas, and was more of a form of entertainment for ordinary people.

The story of the Black Arm General has just begun, which means that the King of the Celestial Dragons has not yet started to exert his power, and the image of the general needs to be built up in the early stages.

"Bulu Bulu..."

"Click."

"Now, immediately, immediately, appear in front of me!"

“No, I want to write.”

Kevin refused decisively.

Ginny, who was imitated by Den Den Mushi, immediately changed her expression and looked sad.

"So... the kid who was raised by borrowing milk from every household is unwilling to accompany me to choose a wedding dress at such an important time?"

"It was so difficult back then. I couldn't even get enough to eat, and I had to carefully raise a crying child. Now you're not even willing to do this?"

"Wow... So I don't have any relatives, and now even the child I raised with my own hands is unwilling to accompany me through the most important milestone of my life?"
