Chapter 70 The Navy's Dissatisfaction
The generals present didn't care about Sengoku and Garp's banter; what mattered was that Sengoku's statement was true, and that he wasn't joking.
Silence reigned. The naval commanders were completely silent, their eyes burning with anger. Who on earth had destroyed the 16 branch islands?
"Who on earth dares to destroy 16 branch islands? Isn't this a provocation against our Marine Headquarters?" Sakazuki roared.
At this moment, Sengoku didn't mention Sakazuki either, because he was also very angry.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely tense; it was like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.
Seeing that no one answered him, Sakazuki questioned again, "Where's Aokiji? Wasn't he supposed to be in the East Blue suppressing pirates? How could this happen?"
"Alas, Aokiji is injured and is still unconscious," Sengoku said bitterly to Sakasugi.
Ok?
When Zhan Guo said this, it shocked all the generals present. They even doubted whether they had heard correctly.
"What exactly happened, Sengoku? How did Aokiji get injured and unconscious?!" Garp immediately stood up and asked Sengoku.
"After the destruction of the 16th Branch Island, Aokiji went to investigate the reason for the island's disappearance, but he did not expect that a huge tsunami and waterspout would occur in the waters of the 16th Branch."
"In order to prevent the tsunami and waterspout from destroying the surrounding islands, Aokiji stood up alone, and then this happened."
After finishing his sentence, Zhan Guo took out a newspaper and said, "Take a look!"
Anxious, Garp immediately grabbed the newspaper and checked it. The picture showed the 16th Branch Sea Area, but it was now an icy world.
After reading it, Karp remained silent, and the newspaper was passed around until everyone had read it.
No one spoke for a long time in the meeting room, which made the atmosphere even more serious.
"Now, do you know who destroyed the 16 branch islands?" Sakazuki asked seriously.
"Currently, the most likely guess is that little killer brat," Sengoku said, looking quite troubled.
"It's that brat Killer again!" Sakazuki roared angrily.
The other naval soldiers frowned and were quite annoyed when they heard it was that Killer guy again.
It seems that ever since this killer appeared, their navy has been having a lot of bad luck.
They were just ridiculed by pirates in the New World a few days ago, and now that the 16th branch island has been destroyed, wouldn't they lose face again?
Most of the naval officers were quite unhappy at the moment.
a long time.
"Activate the Buster Call! Find that brat Killer and use the Buster Call directly," Sakazuki said with a serious expression.
"No, the Buster Order is too serious and cannot be used lightly." Sengoku refused without hesitation.
Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Sakazuki flew into a rage and retorted, "This won't do, that won't do! What exactly do you want?!"
Before Sengoku could say anything, Sakazuki questioned again: "Back then, I was asked to go to the East Blue, but Aokiji disagreed. Now that such a major incident has occurred, Aokiji bears a great responsibility."
Sakazuki's words immediately caused everyone present to freeze in shock; Sakazuki was clearly looking for trouble with Aokiji.
Upon hearing that Sakazuki was planning to cause trouble for Aokiji, Sengoku quickly interjected, "Sakazuki, don't get agitated! Aokiji is still unconscious!"
"Hmph." Sakazuki didn't bother to say anything to Sengoku, snorted coldly, got up from his seat, and left the conference room.
Sakazuki's sudden departure from the conference room left the naval commanders looking at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to say.
The meeting, which was originally going well, was abruptly ended because of Sakazuki's departure.
"Ahem," the Warring States Marshal said bitterly, "Let's call this meeting for now!"
...
Let's go back to the present.
"Oh, Aokiji! What should we do now?" Sengoku said bitterly.
Just then, that wretched voice of the communications officer rang out again from outside the door.
"Come in?" Sengoku was now afraid even of the messenger's voice, fearing that something big had happened again.
The messenger came in and said directly, "That Sengoku period admiral, Smoker, has returned with Admiral Aokiji?"
"What? You said Aokiji is back?" Sengoku said excitedly.
"Yes. Marshal Sengoku, but it seems that General Aokiji has suffered a very serious injury and is currently in the treatment room."
Ok?
Sengoku wondered to himself, "What's going on with Aokiji this time?"
And so, Smoker, Aokiji, and the other two returned to Marine Headquarters.
……
The next day.
Minos woke up to the gentle voice of his smart home assistant.
A dazed Minos stood on the yacht, gazing at the sea ahead.
From the initial fun to the later boredom, and finally the slight despair, the experience is indescribable to outsiders.
Ah!
Minos seemed to see a newsbird flying in the sky.
Minos immediately became interested; it was time to watch the drama unfold again.
Thinking of all this, Minos leaped directly in front of the News Bird and looked at him curiously.
The news bird was nearly scared to death by Minos; it was clear that the news bird recognized who this guy was.
Moreover, President Morgans has already given instructions that anyone who encounters Minos must treat him well, and the newspaper will not charge him a single penny.
The news bird gave Minos a newspaper, which puzzled him greatly. Didn't it cost money?
Back on the yacht, Minos watched the news bird depart and silently remarked, "There are still good birds in the pirate world." (Actually, you've already been identified as the biggest piece of information. (⌒▽⌒)
Minos opened the newspaper in his hand and looked at it. For a moment, Minos did not know whether to be happy or cry. The newspaper actually recorded in detail the scene of his fierce battle with Kaido in Loguetown.
Moreover, and most importantly, there are pictures to prove it.
Minos, in particular, was drawn to several of the headlines.
Shocking! A Battle of Two Dragons – A Perfect Ending!
Shocking! The sky has been split open – is this a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay?
Shocking! Is the Era of Five Emperors About to Descend?!
After reading it, Minos exclaimed, "Whoever wrote this title is a genius!"
What bothered Minos most was the inscription proclaiming the arrival of the Age of the Five Emperors. While this seemed like a deliberate attempt to flatter him, it actually had a slight benefit for him.
Now he'll have a reputation, won't he? Everyone who sees him will have to call him Lord Minos, the Fifth Emperor!
"Ha ha!" Minos laughed loudly. "King Minos is quite famous now."
Minos, brimming with confidence, said to his smart assistant, "Accelerate our journey toward the Grand Line!"
"Yes, master, accelerating." The smart butler's voice was as gentle as ever.
……
Not only was Minos attracted by the title, but the other pirates were even more shocked.
The New World, Moby Dick.
It was the same Marco as always, buying newspapers as before.
Marco was so shocked after reading the newspaper that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Marco's strange behavior was quickly noticed by the other captains, who all wondered what was wrong with him!
Amidst the whispers, Whitebeard noticed their reaction. He was also curious; how could Marco, who was usually so composed in the face of danger, have lost his composure like this?
"Kurara, Marco, have you discovered something?" Whitebeard laughed loudly.
"Yes, Captain Marco, what happened? Your dad is very worried about you!"
Amid the shouts of the other captains and Whitebeard, Marco gradually snapped out of his shock, though he still couldn't hide the horror on his face.
