From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 151: Vice Admiral Tsuru's Doubts Are Interrupted

The battle between Kevin and Sakaski lasted for quite a long time. From landing in Marinford to achieving their goal, it lasted from morning to after three o'clock in the afternoon.

When Kevin was carried away by the medical staff, Sakaski's words made Smoker, who had just left the center of the battle, anxious, and he was about to rush out to question him.

"Shh."

The black cage trapped Smoker, and Tina pulled him back.

"What do you want to do?"

Smoker said anxiously, "The boss lost and I have to take him away! You go drive the boat and we will go back to the G5 branch."

Tina's eyes twitched: "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Mr. Lieutenant General will be fine."

Smoker thought about it, and then the white smoke in his lower body turned into a solid entity.

"Bringing back the banner, will the boss be okay with all the commotion? Lieutenant General Sakaski just muttered something, will the boss be imprisoned and pushed into the city?"

"Unless Marshal Sengoku really wants to see the navy in complete chaos."

As Tina spoke, she also released the restraints of the prison and looked at the lieutenant general who was being carried away.

At this time, the navy, who had been watching the conflict since morning, were also talking about it.

"Is Lieutenant General Kevin going to be okay?"

"Faced with the Shichibukai system issued by the World Government, we could only remain silent, but Vice Admiral Kevin, who used to claim to be a loyal dog of the World Government... unexpectedly stood up."

"Because...some things require someone to stand up. If no one objects, it will become the Navy's tacit consent, which is also a shame for the Navy, isn't it?"

"Even if he deserted his post from the G5 branch, even if he was just one person, he dared to express his protest at the Navy Headquarters."

"He... is doing this for the glory of the entire navy."

"From today on, I will no longer call him a scum of the navy. The navy's responsibility is to eliminate pirates and eradicate all evil. This is Vice Admiral Kevin's attitude towards pirates!"

……

At this time, Diruda walked to the center of the battlefield, raised one arm and clenched his fist.

"We are the navy! We never show weakness in the face of pirates!"

"And now, Vice Admiral Kevin has told everyone with his actions that the Navy is not weak and does not need the Shichibukai system to fight pirates with pirates!"

"We are all dissatisfied with the orders of the World Government, but we don't have the courage to oppose it. Now someone has stood up, so I want to stand behind him!"

"Everyone, if we continue to remain silent, then what awaits us in the future will be endless silence... So, I don't want to remain silent any longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Diruda was the first to head towards the building of the marshal's office.

Behind him, all the sailors looked at each other.

"So are we going?"

"Then you have to ask yourself, if you want to face such a situation in the future, will anyone stand up?"

"Let's go find Marshal Zhan Guo!"

"No matter what, Lieutenant General Kevin must not be punished."

"If there is really no place for reason, I will quit this crappy navy!"

"Count me in. The navy is allied with pirates. This is not the justice I think of, nor is it true justice!"

The crowd surged, and everyone headed towards the headquarters building.

Seeing this scene, Smoker looked at Tina and said, "You guessed it a long time ago? I was wondering why you weren't panicking at all when you saw the boss being defeated? Normally, you should be the first one to run to Vice Admiral Crane."

Tina glanced at him and said, "It's not certain whether Lieutenant General has lost!"

Obviously, the focus of their conversation did not overlap.

But Tina knew very well that in the confrontation between Lieutenant General and Lieutenant General Sakaski, the Lieutenant General definitely let him win in the last blow.

In the past two years, the Lieutenant General has teased Smoker like he did just now more than once or twice.

When teasing Smoker in the G5 branch, the purpose was to encourage him to continue to stand up. So, was the purpose of deliberately losing to Vice Admiral Sakaski just now because the purpose of making his attitude clear had been achieved?
At this time, Smoker on the side also thought of the feeling of being teased in the past, and always falling short.

"So what does this mean, Boss? You came back with so much fanfare, and now you should be over it by deliberately getting defeated, right? Does it make sense?"

Tina sighed: "If Lieutenant General Sakaski cannot defeat Lieutenant General, then what should we do next after returning from the G5 branch with the banner?"

doing what?
Of course, let...

That is impossible.

The system of Seven Warlords of the Sea was not established by the Navy, and the Navy does not have this authority.

The Navy can only execute the decisions made by the World Government and there is no possibility of changing them.

So if the boss wins, they will rush into Marshal Zhan Guo's office.

So at that time... I will really have to face Marshal Zhan Guo by myself?
"Hiss...cough cough cough!"

Smoker was choked by the cigar in his mouth. After coughing repeatedly, he threw the cigar head on the ground and stomped it out.

"So this is the end of our trip back here?"

Tina raised her head slightly and her eyes met with Vice Admiral Tsuru on the building.

What happened in the Navy Headquarters today will spread throughout the Navy in a very short time, and even be known to everyone in the world through the Navy's various branches around the world.

Because even Marshal Sengoku wanted to let the whole world know that the entire navy was opposed to the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The Navy doesn't want to take the blame for the World Government.

The establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system and the emergence of the legal right of plunder will lead to ordinary people being legally plundered on the sea in the future, and the frustrated navy watching the pirates plundering.

The navy of the future will be more dissatisfied with the world government, and will not feel that the navy is also the same.

This was the reason why Marshal Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru had been watching coldly, and why Vice Admiral Tsuru had watched him return to the headquarters and cause this chaos together with the Lieutenant General.

……

On the high building, Zhan Guo withdrew his gaze and returned to his desk.

After thinking for a while, he took off his glasses, opened the drawer, took out a bottle of eye drops, and quickly dropped a few drops into both eyes.

He and Tina looked at each other and left the window. After seeing Zhan Guo's actions, they said, "So once you reach a high position, you will learn these things without a teacher."

Zhan Guo blinked his eyes: "Look, look, are my eyes red?"

Crane sighed, "Rub it again."

Zhan Guo, who listened to the advice, rubbed his eyelids vigorously and said, "Just allow that little bastard to act? If it weren't for Sakaski, let's see how he would end up."

Crane replied, "It is precisely because he knew in advance that Sakaski was at the headquarters that he made such a plan, right? It is obvious that he knows Sakaski's character very well, and he also knows that his strength can withstand the attack of lava."

Zhan Guo's red eyes were slightly solemn.

"In this case, this guy's prestige in the navy is too high. And this prestige was helped to rise by us."

With just a few words, Zhan Guo, who was also known as a wise general, understood what He meant and what Kevin meant.

It was a farce-like chaos, but he had to go along with Kevin's plan, which made him very dissatisfied.

"if not?"

Crane said as he reached out to take the eye drops and completed the process of reddening the eyes in a few seconds: "The first person to stand up will be a hero, and the second one will no longer have such influence. When he came out of the port holding a banner to attract attention, we were already set up."

"At the same time, he is still a member of the World Government. Because he was defeated by Sakaski, this matter only reached the level of candidate vice admiral, not you, let alone Marijoa."

"He is a good dog who has shown his loyalty before and has gained great reputation in the navy. Do you think such a small matter that does not affect the implementation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system will make Marijoa give up on him?"

Zhan Guo shook his head slightly.

Obviously, the world government would not do such a stupid thing.

Even that bastard Garp had been able to live safely for so many years because of his influence in the navy, not to mention Kevin, their loyal dog.

"The cooperation with Wano Country has shown us the possibility of cooperation, which is one of the reasons why we help him. In our opinion, he is not a loyal dog."

Hearing this, Zhan Guo looked at He: "So where do you think he stands?"

"do not know."

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead: "From Bartnom's past, the changes in the G5 branch in the past two years, and Tina's recognition of him, I don't think he will be on the same side as the World Government."

"But from the South China Sea incident, the O'Hara incident, and the well-known ones..."

He paused for a moment. Well-known?

What is widely known? Sometimes only what is deliberately shown is widely known!
He is lustful, alcoholic, lazy, and would find excuses to arrest beautiful women on trumped-up charges whenever he saw them passing by. Are these stories true?
The female scholar before the O'Hara incident...

"Maybe he just wants to destroy all the pirates."

Sengoku's voice interrupted He's thoughts.

It seems like I have grasped something, but I haven't.

And Zhan Guo continued: "His life experience determines his attitude towards pirates. The whole village was slaughtered by pirates and he was the only one who crawled out of the pile of corpses. It is not surprising that he has always killed pirates directly."

"He also knows very well which is bigger between the World Government and the Navy. His path to promotion has been extremely smooth and even very fast over the years."

"After this, his strength will be revealed after the fight with Sakaski, and he will be able to obtain a code name and become a candidate admiral, as long as he can convince the World Government later."

These words made He's thoughts wander away, and after thinking along the lines of what Zhan Guo said, he confirmed this position.

So he said, "Kevin's presence is beneficial to us. After knowing his position, we can make the best use of him..."

At this time, both of them stopped talking and rubbed their eyes again.

Soon, there was a knock on the door that He had just closed.

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of navy troops swarmed in.

"Marshal, Lieutenant General Kevin is right. We..."

"We can't let the navy get cold..."

"We in the Navy never..."

Before anyone could finish their prepared words, they saw the marshal, who used to stand straight and straight with an imposing manner, standing behind his desk, now hunched over with red eyes.

There was also the veteran Vice Admiral Tsuru standing by. He was different from ordinary Vice Admirals. As a contemporary of the Marshal, Vice Admiral Tsuru was the think tank of the Marine Headquarters...

At this moment, his eyes were red and his body was hunched, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

"Master Marshal...what's wrong with you?"

Zhan Guo forced a smile, wiped his glasses and put them on: "It's okay, I just talked to the World Government. Don't worry, as the Marshal I will continue to argue with reason!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru said solemnly: "Although they still haven't changed their minds, we are the navy and the barrier to protect the people."

As he spoke, Vice Admiral Tsuru stood up and bowed to all the navy men who had gathered around him.

"As high-level officials, we will continue to communicate with the world government. But this world cannot be without the navy. Countless islands and people cannot lose the protection of the navy."

"If they lose us, they will only be able to face the slaughter and plunder of pirates, and there will no longer be any justice floating in this sea."

"We endure humiliation and move forward. Even if we are misunderstood by the world, we still uphold the name of justice. We are true heroes."

Bear the humiliation and move forward...

For a moment, these words echoed in everyone's mind.

The officers of the Navy Headquarters are not fools. They know very well that the orders of the World Government cannot be changed. They are here only for Kevin's punishment.

But seeing this scene, these two veteran naval officers devoting their lives to the name of justice, most of the naval officers had tears in their eyes.

Yes, without them, the pirates will become more unscrupulous.

In the future, the Shichibukai who have the legal right to plunder will probably be everywhere.

Therefore, bearing humiliation and carrying heavy burdens is also a kind of justice!
"Your Excellency the Marshal..."

A young female captain wiped her eyes and said, "You must take care of your health!"

A young male lieutenant at the headquarters beside him was already crying loudly: "Marshal, we will never forget the shame of today and work harder to uphold justice!"

For a moment, the navy who rushed into the office and everyone in the corridor outside the door were very excited after learning about the situation in the office.

"Vice Admiral Tsuru, we will definitely inherit your will and become a great navy!"

"Vice Admiral Kevin has awakened us. I will never forget the humiliation that the Shichibukai system has brought to the navy!"

“It’s easy to be quiet, but those who stand up are heroes!”

"Lieutenant General Kevin is a true hero for letting us know that there are people resisting!"

……

Zhan Guo, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his eyes deliberately and remembered the guy who helped Kevin gain reputation at the beginning.

It seems like they are from the same period as those in the youth training camp?
Well...there are also Tina's suitors.

Are these people stupid? Isn't this clearly aiding the enemy?

You still want to chase after the girl under He with this brain? Eat shit!
Outrageous!

……

Soon, the huge scene in the office of the naval marshal was easily resolved by a few drops of eye drops.

After getting the promise from Sengoku that Vice Admiral Kevin would not be punished, a group of young people from the Navy Headquarters went to the training ground as if they were injected with chicken blood.

As for how many of them can persist, Zhan Guo doesn't know, but as long as there are more than ten of them, the future backbone of the Navy Headquarters will be a leap forward.

Is this eye drop expired?
Zhan Guo looked at the packaging of eye drops over and over again. His eyes felt sore and uncomfortable.

Could it be that I just dripped too much?

“This enthusiasm for training seems to be a pleasant surprise.”

Crane said as he found a place to sit down again.

Zhan Guo glanced at her and continued to study the eye drops. The effect of this thing was too strong. He easily blocked the questions he was originally supposed to face and also took the blame for himself.

"Are you free today? Not going to be busy?"

Crane replied: "We will be noticed if we go out now, and we need to be cautious about spreading this matter. We are different from that kid. To some extent, our attitude represents the loyalty of the Navy to the World Government."

"Hehe...loyalty?"

Zhan Guo put down the eye drops.

When he was an admiral, he indeed obeyed the orders of the World Government, otherwise he would not have been given the position of marshal.

But in some ways, Kevin is a lot like him.

For the stability of the ocean and for ordinary people to survive, he chose to be obedient, but loyal?
How could a person with domineering Haki be a loyal dog of the World Government?

It's just because he is aware of the power of the world government, and knows that the greatest luxury for the world is to maintain stability.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Zhan Guo looked out the window and said, "Bartelnomi is here at the headquarters this time, right?"

Crane replied: "In the name of visiting Zefa. After all, if it wasn't for Zefa at that time, he might still be in Marijoa. No, if he was taken to Marijoa, he would be dead by now with his personality."

Being taken to Marijoa as a slave of the Celestial Dragons, given Bartelnomía's personality, he probably wouldn't survive more than a month.

But it is precisely because of this kind of character that I made such a choice.

The crane then spoke up, "I will go and check on the boy later, while Bartelnomi is here."

Zhan Guo looked at her: "Can't you confirm his position yet?"

He replied: "I just want to see why this kid who was recognized by Nomi would choose another path with the same stance. But in comparison, he is indeed much smarter than Nomi."

……

In the hospital of the Navy Headquarters, Kevin lay leisurely on the hospital bed with his hands wrapped in bandages.

The last attack by Sakaski caused some burns to the skin and muscles because he deliberately removed the defense of Armament Haki.

But he had just applied medicine and bandaged himself, and he was healed now. But he still wanted to do the whole show, so he had to stay for two more days.

The planned farce has come to an end, and all we can do now is wait for events to unfold.

I have never remembered when the Shichibukai system started. I only remember that Crocodile should be in the first batch, but I have no idea when it started.
