Chapter 396: Rifts in the Navy Alliance

Navy League Headquarters,

Marshal Zhan Guo's face was gloomy. Even the white doves that usually coiled on his head could not withstand the low pressure and flapped their wings and flew away.

When he first received the news, he even suspected that the Intelligence Department had been invaded by the enemy and was spreading false information.

Until the navy returned to the headquarters to report,

And there was no sign of being controlled by illusion, so Zhan Guo accepted the fact.

"Sengoku, the most urgent thing is to contact Aokiji. Nothing has been determined yet."

The elderly but wise and elegant Staff Officer Crane showed a rare look of worry.

Although she tried to persuade Zhan Guo, she herself found it difficult to remain calm.

The general defected.

Once it is confirmed, the nature of it will be extremely bad.

There have been defectors from hundreds of naval branches across the world, including the naval headquarters.

For example, Iron Fist Garp’s own son, Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

Another example is Axeman Monka, an elite cadre under the current Flamingo Pirates and formerly the colonel of the East China Sea branch.

Defection is not new;
However, the sailors who were awarded the title of admiral were carefully selected by the Naval Alliance, symbolizing the majesty of the navy patrolling the four seas.

Aokiji's defection was a huge blow to the navy's reputation.

Zhan Guo took a deep breath, his eyes continuously emitting golden Buddha light, and he managed to calm down and asked: "Tell me in detail what happened in the zombie world!"

Staff Officer He is right.
Nothing has been concluded yet. Although Aokiji turned a blind eye to the naval battle, there may be other hidden secrets.

Moreover, they simply ignored the battle and did not attack the navy directly.

In this situation, leaving aside the final words of wanting to leave the Navy, the worst that could happen is a salary fine.

"In Jiangjia Town, a dark gold-level zombie was suspected to have been discovered. Admiral Aokiji fought with the Straw Hat Pirates, and was then stopped by the sudden appearance of Red-Haired Shanks..."

"There was no fight between the two, but after Admiral Aokiji came into contact with the other party, he said he wanted to leave the navy."

Shanks? !

Zhan Guo's face turned pale, and his clenched fist slowly fell on the conference table.

Boom.

The Buddha's light surrounding the surface of the fist touched the table, and the table seemed to be pressed down by a thousand-pound rock and shattered under the weight.

"Keep calm, Sengoku. Anger will interfere with your reason."

Staff Officer He frowned, looked at the Buddha's light, and said, "Although the Buddha's light of [Warrior Monk Lv. 35] is powerful, there is a risk of demonic possession. We must maintain a calm state of mind."

"I see."

Zhan Guo adjusted his emotions and gradually calmed down.

It's Shanks again.
They actually dared to instigate the admiral to defect. This is simply lawless. Does the Adventurer's Guild want to die?

"Although Shanks and Hawkeye are strong at the Adventurer Headquarters, it would be easy for the Navy Alliance to defeat them..."

No matter how powerful a tiger or leopard is, it cannot defeat a pack of wolves.

The advantage that the Navy Alliance relies on is a steady stream of elite players and dozens of branch commanders who have the strength of [first-class players].

Staff Officer He shook his head repeatedly and said, "However, attacking the adventurer headquarters will definitely anger the adventurers all over the world."

adventurer,
It’s just like the pirates setting sail in the Great Pirate Age.

However, these adventurers are different from the vicious pirates, as most of them have dreams.

There are a large number of them, and they are a neutral group.

There is a group of adventurers in the Navy Alliance. If the adventurer headquarters is destroyed, these adventurers will definitely regard the Navy as an enemy.

Zhan Guo asked in a deep voice: "Has Aokiji's Den Den Mushi been contacted?"

"not yet……"

The voice has not fallen,

The Den Den Mushi in Sengoku's arms opened its eyes, and after the call was connected, Aokiji's voice was heard.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period..."

"Aokiji, you bastard, do you really want to betray the navy?!"

The Buddha's light lit up again in the conference room. Zhan Guo tightly held the Den Den Mushi and questioned angrily.

"It's not me who betrayed the Navy, it's the Navy that betrayed me."

Aokiji's voice sounded like he was suppressing his anger.

Warring States was stunned.

"Civilians were captured and turned into slaves, injected with various drugs, and infected with corpse poison and turned into zombies..."

Even through the Den Den Mushi, one could imagine Aokiji's furious look.

"Marshal Zhan Guo, aren't you aware of what these noble groups have done?"

Zhan Guo's heart skipped a beat.
The scolding that came to my lips felt like my throat was being pinched and I couldn't make any sound.

"The noble group..."

Zhan Guo stuttered, and finally managed to adjust his mood, and said in a deep voice: "The Navy Alliance is absolutely just, and it has absolutely no collusion with the noble group!"

He naturally knew these things.

The aristocratic group controls the country and civilians, but they do not have strong people who can deter pirates and ambitious people, so their assets can be easily plundered.

So you need to find a strong person to rely on.

Those commanders of naval branches who have already broken free from the control of the World Government are undoubtedly the best umbrellas of protection.

"The Navy League has never done anything against justice!"

The meeting room was very quiet.
The branch commanders present, including Jonathan, are all receiving resources from the Noble Group.

It is indeed as the Warring States said,
The Navy took no active part in these dirty deeds.

However, the navy receives its share of the resources that the aristocratic group extracts from the common people.

Therefore,
When saying this, Zhan Guo's voice was not so powerful and seemed a little lacking in confidence.

"Navy League? How ugly..."

"Originally, they were bound by the World Government, so they had to turn a blind eye to the evil Celestial Dragons. Now that they have broken free from the World Government, they turn a blind eye to their enslavement of civilians because the noble group can provide reward points?"

"It would be better to let the Navy continue to be the dogs of the World Government. At least the number of Celestial Dragons is not as large as that of the noble group."

"Warring States!"

Finally, there was the sound of Aokiji gritting his teeth.

I can vaguely hear the noise coming from the Den Den Mushi.

"Aokiji? Damn it... We've paid protection fees, stop it now!"

"What is going on? Is the Navy going to violate the agreement?"

Explosions and wailing.

Before Zhan Guo spoke, the faces of the branch commanders changed drastically.

He stood up suddenly and said sternly: "Aokiji, are you crazy? You actually slaughtered the navy's allies?"

The noble group is the cash cow that can give them a steady stream of reward points.
After being messed up by Aokiji, who would still trust the commander, and who would still be willing to pay?

How to become stronger without money?

If we are not strong enough, how can we protect the Naval Alliance?

"Report, the video Den Den Mushi shows that two islands in the West Sea were attacked one after another, and the royal courtyard and noble manor were completely destroyed."

"The criminal is... General Aokiji!"

The navy officer from the intelligence department knocked on the door tremblingly and reported anxiously.

The two commanders of the West Sea looked livid, and asked the silent Sengoku, "Marshal Sengoku, the two islands destroyed in the West Sea were allies protected by the branch. Aokiji, you must give us an explanation for this!"

The Warring States felt overwhelmed.

On one hand, Aokiji is asking about the just will of the Navy Alliance, while on the other hand, the branch commander is asking for an explanation.

Even the most powerful force, the Naval Alliance, is not completely united.

If it cannot be handled properly, it will be very easy for someone like Red-Hair Shanks to take advantage of it.

In a flash,

Zhan Guo, who possesses the strength of a [first-class player] and is surrounded by Buddha's light, has not changed at all, but he looks older.
