From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 149 Zhan Guo wants to retire
"Didn't you see yesterday's newspaper, Mr. Lieutenant General?"

"I think I saw it this morning. The entire table in the base commander's office was smashed to pieces."

"If it was the Vice Admiral, it would be understandable that he would be so angry. After all, the Vice Admiral hates pirates the most."

"Don't you hate it?"

"According to Mr. Lieutenant General, those bastards are the troublemakers in this ocean!"

"So we are...shit?"

At the training ground of the G5 branch, the sailors of the 03 unit were startled by the sudden loud noise, and after hearing the curses coming from the window, they began to discuss in low voices.

However, in the current G5 branch, nearly % of the navy are the Revolutionary Army, and most of the islands under its jurisdiction have become bases for the Revolutionary Army to lurk.

The other 30% are also feeling disgusted by what was reported in yesterday's newspapers.

Next to the training ground, Smoker, who had also finished his daily training, glanced at the base commander's office upstairs: "The situation at the headquarters should be similar. Teacher Zephyr should be very angry."

Tina frowned: "Being angry and furious is useless. The navy can only obey the orders issued by the World Government. Even Marshal Sengoku can't make the higher-ups change the implementation of this system."

Smoker glanced at her and said, "You are getting calmer now. In the past... you seemed to be much calmer than me."

"Not calm down, Smoker."

Tina continued, "In comparison, you and I are not as knowledgeable and wise as Vice Admiral Crane and Marshal Sengoku. Even we know the real root of the problem in this sea, how could they not know?"

After that, Smoker fell silent.

It has been nearly two years since he followed the lieutenant general from the headquarters to the G5 branch. He has seen much more than he did in the headquarters.

The naval branches in the four seas have simple powers. Although due to distance and communication reasons, there is a possibility that the base commander will become dominant and cause trouble to one side, compared to here in the New World.

There is a huge difference between sin and darkness.

In the past two years, the Navy has once again established another branch in the New World.

But just like the original G5, those navies should perhaps be called pirates.

Because they will...plunder non-member countries.

There are countless islands in the entire ocean, and many of them can be called countries, but there are only a few hundred countries that can afford to pay the sky-high gold.

This number changes every year. Some people withdraw because they cannot afford to pay, while others join because they are able to hand over the money after slaughtering the population.

But for those who cannot afford to pay and withdraw, there is a 50% chance that their country will be destroyed later, either by being plundered by neighboring countries or by pirates or the navy.

Yes, the navy can also plunder non-member countries.

For countries whose population has plummeted after the massacre and whose labor force has declined, they are left with only two options: either rob others or become a non-member country and be robbed by others after being unable to pay.

The cycle repeats itself, causing suffering and despair to recur. Only in places as large as Dressrosa or Alabasta in the middle of the Grand Line, where the king is still a human being, can one survive.

In the past two years in the new world, Smoker and Tina have truly seen the darkness of this world.

"Yeah, they do."

Smoker sighed, then took out a cigar and lit it. "So sometimes I wish I could be simpler. After all, I'm just a navy minion, so I just need to do the navy's classified work, right?"

Tina glanced at him and said, "Do you want to be as righteous as Vice Admiral Garp? You are just deceiving yourself."

After saying that, Tina turned and went towards the base commander's office.

As far as she could remember, the Lieutenant General had never been so angry.

Even when he first came to the G5 branch and slaughtered batch after batch of the remaining naval forces here, Marshal Sengoku from the headquarters personally called to reprimand him, but he was still pushed back by the Lieutenant Admiral.

Mr. Lieutenant General, there is little sign of table-banging.

……

Base Chief's Office.

When Kevin saw Tina coming in, he said directly: "Prepare the warships, let's go back to the headquarters!"

These words made Tina stunned for a moment, but when she saw Kevin's eyes turned red and his hands clenched with green energy, she immediately understood.

As the fourth marine in the youth training camp to be awarded the title of monster, Kevin became a vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters and the base commander of the New World G5 branch when he was only in his twenties. His past was also well-known in the Navy.

Born in the West Sea, his family and the village he lived in were destroyed by pirates. Only the Vice Admiral survived among the dead.

After wandering and begging, he eventually joined the navy in the town of Rathgap, and thus began the origin of the name West Sea Executioner.

Because of his experience of wandering in his childhood, he did whatever it takes to climb up, obeyed the orders of the World Government, and even stated bluntly that he was a dog of Marijoa during his youth training camp.

But also because of his background, he has been ruthless to pirates since the West Sea. Even if the fruit ability users should be sent to Impel Down according to the rules, he will still kill them without hesitation.

So... in the end, hatred for pirates overwhelms loyalty to the World Government?
"Mr. Lieutenant General."

"Ah."

When going to the port of G5 branch, Tina followed Kevin all the way, and at this time she seemed to have made up her mind: "Tina wants to go back with you."

Kevin shook his head slightly and said, "Your current rank is only major in this unit, so you won't be of much use if you go back."

Soon the two men were under the ship, and the navy on the ship was ready to sail.

Tina stopped and looked at Kevin: "But if Vice Admiral goes back, it won't be of much use, right? The orders of the World Government cannot be changed even by the Navy Headquarters. Didn't Vice Admiral say that during the Youth Training Camp?"

"Ah……"

Kevin grinned and gave a dry laugh. He hadn't drunk any water for a long time because of this image. Fortunately, the sun was very strong in the G5 branch today.

"Tina...some things have to be done by someone. If no one does it, then such absurdity will become a habit in the future."

"Using one person's gain and loss to let everyone know that there are people who are fighting, and there are people who fight desperately because the system of the Seven Warlords is wrong. This is the meaning of it."

"Then Tina can help you!"

Tina's expression was firm: "Mr. Lieutenant General should know that even after being transferred from the headquarters to the G5 branch, the number of letters I received has never decreased!"

This silenced Kevin.

Facts have proved that there are really a lot of dogs toadying in this world, and the pink-haired girl is really beautiful. It seems that she has been doing dogs toadying since the youth training camp.

Only a straight man like Smoker can be friends with such a pretty little girl.

But then again, if Smoker wasn't straight, Tina might not have become friends with him.

Putting aside the thoughts that have gone astray, I thought that my reputation in the headquarters is really not that good. The implementation of the plan will be much better with the support of such a group of bootlickers.

"Let's go."

Kevin waved, turned around and got on the boat.

Tina hurried to catch up as the cloudy sky turned to clear, and as the warship began to sail, a figure carrying a suitcase rushed out from the base.

The reason why it was "running" was that Smoker was holding a cigar in his mouth and his entire body and back were covered with white smoke except for his head and the hand holding the suitcase.

"Wait for me, you guys!"

"Stop the boat! Come on, you two!"

A stream of white smoke rushed onto the warship. Smoker put down his suitcase and looked at Kevin and Tina. "We came together when we came here. It's ok when we report back to the headquarters, but we have to come together when we are in trouble! You are really not nice!"

Tina rolled her eyes. "When you were in the academy, you relied on the nature challenge every day. How do you think you can help? Do you have as many connections as I do in the headquarters?"

Smoker choked at these words. He scratched his head and replied, "I am very strong now!"

Kevin on the side glanced at him and said, "This time when we go to the headquarters, Marshal Zhan Guo will be left to you to deal with."

(#Д)
Smoker was confused: "Just go back and rebel?"

"Snapped."

Tina waved her hand and slapped him: "What are you thinking? You said you are very strong. If your personal strength is useful, then go and deal with Marshal Zhan Guo."

Smoker came to his senses and muttered, thinking that he must be isolated. …

Three days later, Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

"Snapped."

Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi in his hand with a scowl on his face: "What does this bastard want to do! He just abandoned the G5 branch and went back to Marinford. Does he want to come back and rebel?"

Kuzan, who had just returned, was dazzled but soon became lazy.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. Kevin is not stupid. It's probably still about the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Haven't many officers recently finished their work and returned?"

Kuzan yawned as he spoke: "I've been doing a lot of things lately, so I want to take a couple of days off. This is where I'll use my vacation this month. I'll be leaving first, Marshal Zhan Guo."

Ignoring Zhan Guo's murderous look, Kuzan stood up and left the office on his own.

Zhan Guo sat in the chair and rubbed his forehead with his hand.

Of course he knew why Kevin had deserted his post and ran back, and he also knew why many officers from the headquarters had returned to Marinford after completing their missions during this period.

Even that bastard Kuzan took two days off at this time, also because of the issue of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But what can I do?
There is no way out! The World Government issued a notice to the Navy, but there was no mention of negotiation.

Sengoku felt that he missed the days when he was the admiral more and more. Although he would occasionally go against his original intention in the Sabaody Archipelago, the troubles he encountered were definitely not as many as in his current position.

So that old bastard Garp is really smart!
Yes, and Cap!
The veins on his forehead bulged and throbbed slightly, and Zhan Guo looked at a piece of ordinary intelligence he had just received today.

This is a general intelligence from the East China Sea about the suppression of new pirates, which highlights the heroic deeds of the navy hero Garp in successfully eliminating pirates in the East China Sea in the past few years.

The head of the East China Sea branch obviously wanted to praise Garp in this document, but when the time point in this document was combined with the other documents that Sengoku knew, new content emerged.

asshole!

How dare he? !

He really dares! Is there anything else that old bastard dares not do?
This is not the first or second time that he has cursed the Celestial Dragons. If it weren't for the influence of his title as a marine hero, this old bastard should have been sent to Impel Down ten years ago!
[Note: In the original novel, Ace was actually saved by Whitebeard. After he went out to sea and became a supernova that year, Sengoku was about to take action but was interrupted by Whitebeard. In addition, Garp cursed the Celestial Dragons in front of Sabo's brother Stelly. This behavior was often mentioned later, and it was clearly stated that it was the influence of the navy heroes that saved him.]

"Wow..."

Zhan Guo took three documents in a row and handed them to the goat with a bell hanging beside him.

The document was quickly chewed and eaten, and Zhan Guo let out a breath and looked out the window.

"Just live your life as an ordinary person. This is the best choice for you."

The bloodline of the Pirate King survives in the world, and the South China Sea incident that year had already caused a huge uproar.

Fortunately, the operation was leaked in the end, and considering the impact, the group of pregnant women were finally released. The dissatisfaction of the middle-level navy was also focused on Kevin, and the situation finally calmed down.

If that child could live an ordinary life and not become a pirate, Sengoku would choose to keep this secret to himself.

But as long as he chooses to become a pirate, he must be killed as quickly as possible before his secret is exposed.

The Great Pirate Era is becoming more and more turbulent. The Pirate King Roger, who was once executed in Roger Town, has become a mythical legend in the hearts of all pirates.

If his bloodline becomes a pirate and this secret is exposed, this child's appeal will be incomparably terrifying!
As the Admiral of the Navy, my greatest responsibility is to ensure the stability of the ocean.

But now, both Cap and that little bastard Kevin are doing things to make the sea chaotic.

None of these guys are considerate of me, they are all bastards!
"Dong dong dong."

"Come in."

There was a knock on the door, and Zhan Guo looked at his goat, and saw that the document had been eaten.

"what's up?"

"That... Marshal... Lieutenant General Kevin of the G5 branch... is back."

The navy who came in was a little hesitant.

Zhan Guo frowned and said, "That bastard was AWOL. I told him to come to me when he got to the headquarters. What happened?"

The navy officer who came in didn't know what to say: "Marshal, you should go and have a look yourself. Vice Admiral Kevin may not be able to come now."

???

What does it mean?
As a naval marshal, I still need to go and greet that little bastard in person.

After thinking about it, Zhan Guo walked to the window on the other side, and was stunned the moment he opened it.

At the port of Marinford, a bastard kid wearing a cloak of justice was holding a banner with another kid and was being watched by the navy from headquarters.

[The Navy is not so weak that it needs pirates to enforce justice! Oppose the implementation of the Shichibukai system! ]

On the funny red banner, these words were written in an equally funny font.

However, such outrageous behavior has brought down the middle and senior management of the Navy Headquarters.

Among the younger generation of the navy, no one is willing to admit that the navy is weak, and no one is willing to admit that they have reached the point where they need pirates to enforce justice.

This sentence seems funny, but it directly points out the essence of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system.

In the Great Pirate Age, the navy's military strength was dwarfed by the rest, and using pirates to intimidate pirates was essentially letting pirates execute the name of justice.

"Snapped."

Zhan Guo slapped himself on the forehead, and the blue veins on the back of his hand, which had just relaxed, throbbed even more violently this time.

He was known as a wise general, but with just these few words, he knew what kind of trouble this little bastard was about to cause.

And when did the major from the headquarters who was originally sent by He to keep an eye on that bastard betray him? Why didn't they inform the headquarters of such a big move?
If he had known in advance, he would have gone to G5 by moonwalking to keep the bastard Kevin in the G5 branch and prevent him from coming back to cause trouble!

At this time, Vice Admiral He walked into the office, raised his hand to signal the navy who had just reported to go out, and then stood by the window and looked at the port in the distance.

"At this time, arresting them directly is not a good option."

Zhan Guo sighed: "It's easy to rush down and pin this little bastard down and lock him up now, but this will prove that we, the top leaders, agree with this statement."

"But if you ignore it..."

Zhan Guo paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

The crane behind him glanced at him and said, "Nothing will happen if we ignore it, right? This kid is very smart. He won't and dare not lead a group of people to attack Mary Geoise, and no one will be willing to follow him."

"It is certain that the middle-level officers of the headquarters are dissatisfied with the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but since they have reached the level of the headquarters, they will all understand what the World Government means to the Navy."

"Will even Zephyr agree to follow him in making trouble? Or will Kuzan and Borsalino, two lazy guys who insist on ambiguous justice, follow him to Marijoa to protest?"

Zhan Guo's eyes narrowed slightly: "Returning to the headquarters in such an outrageous way, is this action itself part of his calculations... In that case... Sakaski!"

"Did you think of it?"

He looked at Tina who was helping Kevin hold the banner at the port. "Earlier today, Tina asked if Sakaski was at the headquarters. Because of Zefa, many people have come back early to report on their work recently, even Sakaski, who has an average relationship with Zefa, has come back."

Zhan Guo exhaled, "It seems that he is too eager to improve. This bastard has a really bad reputation in the headquarters."

……

At this time, Kevin, who came down from the port, held his head high. He had not drunk any water for a day and had been on the boat all day, so his skin had turned white, dry and peeling.

There was some blood on his chapped lips, mainly because he tore them himself. Otherwise, with his current physical condition, Kevin found it difficult to pretend to be exhausted both physically and mentally.

As soon as they got off the boat at the port, a group of people saw the banners they were holding.

Among them, the word "weak" has particularly stimulated the sensitivity of the younger generation*.

No one was willing to admit this, so many people gathered around. And since the law does not punish the masses, more and more navy gathered at the port.

"Why do we feel like we're going to be beaten?"

Smoker originally felt ashamed, but now he was a little panicked.
