From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 153 Going to Mary Geoise for Accountability
As time goes by, the events at the Marine Headquarters in Marinford are slowly fermenting.

Ohms, who had been serving as the reporting office of the Navy Headquarters, had already reported the whole incident.

Upon learning about this, Spandine, who had already been promoted, immediately took out the Den Den Mushi to communicate with Kevin.

"Do you know what this means?"

"The news has reached me. It involves a lieutenant general in the headquarters of a New World base commander. Even I can't cover up this kind of thing for you, bastard!"

"Kevin, you should know that everything you have now was given by the World Government, right?!"

"Then you should know clearly that your actions represent your position! What does the implementation of the Shichibukai system have to do with us? Do those shitty pirates dare to attack us?"

"What does it matter to us if more ordinary people die? Don't you want to make money, bastard?"

……

Spandine, who was imitated by Den Den Mushi, was very angry because this was related to his income.

In addition, he was the one who recommended Kevin to join the Marine Headquarters, and he was basically involved in every promotion for the World Government.

Now that this guy, who had cooperated happily for a long time, had made such a mistake, Spandine, who was already tied up, couldn't make any cuts at all.

Kevin distanced himself from the roar of Den Den Mushi, and waited until Spandine had finished venting his anger before approaching and asking, "So do you think what I did worked?"

Spandine snorted and mocked, "Who do you think you are? The cloaked man from the Revolutionary Army? Even that guy is just a rat in the gutter now, and dares not show his head. No one can change the decision of the World Government, no matter the Navy or those rats."

Kevin looked strange, but he still said as planned: "No one can change the implementation of the Shichibukai system. In this case, they don't care about my approach. What they care about is my attitude."

"I am a member of the World Government. Since I entered the Marine Headquarters, I have been labeled as a member of the World Government, right?"

Den Den Mushi was silent for a while.

Spandine's tone also calmed down: "So what exactly do you want to do, you bastard?"

Kevin replied: "After being labeled as a member of the World Government, my reputation in Marinford is very bad. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to make further progress, because even the higher-ups need to consider the issue of prestige."

Spandine asked in a deep voice: "Alternate general? This position is not difficult. Your combat power is sufficient, and your contribution to the steady development of the G5 branch in the past two years is also enough..."

"But the alternate general doesn't need me to do these things."

Kevin interrupted Spandine and said, "It's not impossible to be an admiral or a future marshal, right? An action that the higher-ups don't care about can completely reverse my reputation in the navy. If I am promoted based on my reputation, the higher-ups will get a navy that truly implements the justice of the World Government."

After he finished speaking, Spandine was stunned.

A few years ago, he was just a small lieutenant in the West Sea Branch, but in just a few years, he had already begun to covet the position of Navy Admiral.

Such ambition is exactly in line with the above thinking.

Power, in the eyes of those people, is given by them, because the whole world is nothing but insects in their eyes.

A petty admiral, once heard of, is but a bone to feed a loyal dog.

"You really have a big heart, Kevin."

Den Den Mushi imitated Spandine and sighed.

Kevin replied: "Kevin, the scum of the navy in the past, could not be an admiral or a naval marshal. Even if he was promoted, he would not be able to convince the people. But Kevin, the hero of the navy now, is capable of holding any position in the future, and he is a loyal dog."

Loyal dog.

This was Kevin's own account, and Spandine obviously understood the meaning.

He calls himself a loyal dog and has not awakened his domineering aura. I'm afraid that the will of such a person is to climb up by any means necessary.

Spandine felt that he was a little afraid of this partner. After all, his promotion speed was much faster than his.

But it's the Navy...

The most powerful world government violence organization in the entire ocean, even CP cannot compare to it.

If Kevin really becomes a naval marshal in the future, wouldn't I also be considered half a marshal by then?

"Gu..."

The Den Den Mushi imitated the effect of swallowing saliva. Kevin smiled. It was obvious that the other party was caught while weighing the pros and cons.

"Don't make any more moves from now on. Wait for my news. You just need to remember what you just said. I will take care of the rest!"

"Of course, we're in this together, aren't we?"

"Next time this happens, tell me in advance. You almost scared me to death this time, you bastard. I just got promoted, you bastard!"

"Snapped."

The Den Den Mushi was hung up, and Spandine began to think of a way to explain.

Kevin also breathed a sigh of relief after putting down the Den Den Mushi.

If it was just rumors of rebellion in the Navy Headquarters, or being hailed as a Navy hero, these were actually not important to him.

What’s important from beginning to end… is the further deepening of the Navy’s resentment towards the World Government, and then the position of Admiral in a few years, or the future position of Navy Marshal.

……

A week later, Tina and Smoker had returned to the G5 branch.

The farce at the Navy Headquarters was exaggerated as a protest, which was spread throughout the Navy by Sengoku through various branches of the Navy, and would even reach the ears of ordinary people later.

As a result, the title of naval scum that was once attached to his head was removed, and his reputation for bravery spread like wildfire.

As for the new name, it is still under consideration.

A week had passed and there had been no contact from Spandine, and Kevin knew the reason.

The power of the entire navy is a temptation to Spandine, but it is definitely not enough to tempt the five old immortals in the power.

They want a navy that is obedient and they don't care about the navy's opposition to the Shichibukai system, but they care about Kevin's true attitude.

Is he a truly loyal dog? Or does he have other intentions?
If it was just ambition, they would be happy to see it happen. But Sengoku publicized this incident to the entire navy, letting them see that this would make the navy even more dissatisfied with the World Government.

Although I have always been dissatisfied and it is useless.

"After that incident, Zhan Guo still hasn't contacted you. You should know the reason, right?"

Zefa looked at Kevin who had been discharged from the hospital. Although the bandage on his arm was still there, he knew at a glance that there was no injury on it.

In the residence reserved for the lieutenant general, Kevin smiled and replied, "Marijoa's decision has not come down yet, so it's not time to criticize me yet, right?"

"The incident was passed on by word of mouth after the order was given, and the entire navy knew about the struggle that took place at the headquarters. In addition to me, he and Vice Admiral Tsuru also bore the humiliation and endured the heavy burden."

"To endure the humiliation from the Shichibukai system and bear the heavy responsibility of fighting against pirates and protecting ordinary people throughout the ocean is the duty of the admiral and the navy."

Kevin said jokingly, "Teacher, what do you think of this passage?"

Zefa understood what Kevin meant, exhaled, and looked at his hands.

The powerful arrogance that was once known as the Black Arm has been declining, and his past insistence on not killing has also been denied by himself.

What's more serious is that he has not yet found his new will, or rather, the situation in this world prevents him from finding it.

His wife and son were killed by pirates, but his sense of justice was shaken and he still hated pirates.

But completely killing all the pirates is not something the World Government wants to see, and now they have introduced the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

His will has been completely worn out, and the level of his dual-color domineering power is no longer even enough for the position of admiral, the highest combat power in the navy.

"Sengoku has his considerations, and he also has the justice he has always upheld. Although he is filled with hatred for pirates in his heart, I know that his choice is correct."

This was Zefa's answer.

Kevin also agreed. After all, after learning about some of Mary Joa's power, this approach would allow most people to survive.

Chronic death is always better than the destruction of the world due to cleansing. This is the understanding of Zhan Guo and others.

Zefa exhaled and raised his head slightly, looking directly at Kevin: "In fact, I find that I have never really understood you. Is your purpose to change your reputation even further?"

Kevin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied in a deep voice: "If he is just a miscellaneous soldier, then no matter how strong he is, he can't influence the situation of the world, right? Only by becoming a senior member of the navy and connecting with the world government can he do something for this world."

Looking at Kevin, Zefa felt a little upset.

Do something?

When we were young, the four of us, along with Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru, were considered the geniuses of that generation of the navy. We wiped out pirates on the sea, and at that time we all wanted to do something for the world.

But later, the improvement of their positions and power allowed them to see many things that they were previously unaware of. As they grew older, their past recklessness turned into caution.

Although Zefa still believes that the boy in front of him will be in vain in the end, it may also bring new changes to the navy.

"Then do it."

Zefa stood up and said, "I will continue to serve as the chief instructor of the youth training camp and inject fresh blood into the new generation of the navy. I will watch you and see what changes you will bring to the navy in the future."

"Don't mock the decisions of Zhan Guo and his people. When you reach their position, you will naturally understand what they mean by bearing humiliation and carrying heavy burdens."

Zefa was about to leave, but after thinking for a moment he turned back and said, "The owners of the bubble bath club and the love bar in the Seven Waters City are all my former students. Although it's not a serious industry, it's a mutual agreement. After all, there are many people who come here to wander and can't make a living."

"So... I know all your spending records in these places. I've already dealt with them for you a long time ago. If it weren't for this, do you think you can really establish your image as a scum of the navy just by self-deprecating on the surface?"

⊙_⊙

Kevin blinked as he watched Zefa leave.

The last sentence was a response to his previous teasing. How long ago was it? These old guys really can't be underestimated. Even Zephyr, who was dragged into the movie and lost his mind, is not really a fool.

After a long period of contact during the youth training camp, it was obvious that this guy knew him better than Zhan Guo and He.

……

At the same time, this insignificant farce at the Navy Headquarters was finally brought to the center of power.

Yes. Even if the Navy Headquarters protested against the World Government's Shichibukai system, it was just a trivial matter in Marijoa's eyes.

Unless Sengoku leads the entire navy to declare war on the World Government, in their view, this matter is just a few hundred insane bugs trying to change God's decision, which is meaningless.

"A marine praised by the navy for his heroic resistance. He was recommended to the navy headquarters by a captain of CP0. His past performance has proven that he is obedient."

Mazisheng put the document down and said, "And this incident is also due to the past entanglement with CP0, which has led to a very bad reputation within the navy. It is impossible to make further progress."

Saint Satan said, "He was also included in the last investigation of Wano Country, right? The person recommended was Spandine from CP. The marine saved his life during the North Sea Germa incident."

Saint Vochuli's eyes narrowed slightly: "A loyal dog who wants to eat meat can better serve his master. He wanted to go one step further, so he made such a move."

Nasujuro Sei still held his sword: "A dog should have the awareness of a dog. A dog that acts on its own may not be a loyal dog, even if that's what he calls himself."

Peter Saint shook his head slightly: "The more ambitious people there are, the better it is for us. He has been labeled a loyal dog from the beginning. The most important thing is that after he eats the meat, he will be obedient and not do other things like a daze."

Nasujuro Sei looked over and said, "This incident he caused will also make the Navy even more dissatisfied with the World Government."

Peter Saint replied: "Without this incident, would those bugs be so obedient? Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and even the three strongest reserve navy fighters, even Sakaski, who is the most righteous among us, are also unruly."

Before Nasujuro Saint could refute, Satan Saint spoke up: "Instead of choosing a person from among the navy to control the navy, why not let Kevin, who claims to be a loyal dog, try."

Mazisheng raised his head and said, "It's good that he has the ambition to climb up. As long as we give him food, he will do things according to our ideas. He is also a loyal dog."

Saint Vochuli also agreed: "It's just the attitude of the Navy. Their so-called justice is never the justice of the World Government. If you are still a loyal dog in the future, the next candidate for the Navy Admiral will be easy to choose."

Nasujuro Sei frowned, but did not object.

The number of five people between the powers is intended to enable quick decisions to be made when there are disagreements.

But he still believed that the guy who called himself a loyal dog would not be a good dog.

But it doesn't matter, it's just an unimportant discussion, any decision will do, they don't care if it's right or wrong.

……

Soon, a day later, Kevin received a notice from Spandine.

Go to Marijoa to be held accountable.

But during Den Den Mushi's imitation, Spandine's expression was full of excitement.

"Why aren't you afraid?"

Kevin smiled and said, "Your expression and voice have already betrayed you. The so-called accountability should just be a formality, right?"

Spandine felt depressed for a moment. He originally wanted to scare this guy, but the sudden situation last time almost made him unable to hold on.

I was doing something and was almost scared to death.

Power is hard-earned. If he were to die tragically because of being implicated, he would come back as a ghost and drag this bastard to die with him.

But then I thought that maybe in the future there would really be an ally at the level of a general... Pah! A marshal-level ally, money and the like would be nothing.

By the way, I have to return some of the treasures that my good brother sent me last time. Although I am reluctant to do so, the needs of both parties have begun to reverse and move towards a balance.

"You've always told me that you wanted to go to Marijoa, and this time it really happened as you wished, although there's nothing fun there for us."

Kevin replied: "Some things are not just fun. Spandine, the place where all the power in the world converges, the pinnacle of the world. Just thinking about it, I can't help but want to go and see it."

Spangdine?

Calling him by his name also made Spandine understand what the other party meant.

Although they were brothers before, he was the only one who called Kevin by his first name. Kevin, who might become an admiral in the future, would be much more important.

There were quite a few senior executives in the CP organization who asked Ohms to contact Kevin.

"We will go to Marijoa in three days. You should dress formally. The higher-ups asked me to take you there for a formality, but you should be able to meet an adult."

Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly. "Of course, I have always known you, brother. It would be great if I could have you introduce me to Mary Geoise this time."

One is reminding, the other is acknowledging and repeating.

The two of them understood each other tacitly, affirmed the basis for continued cooperation in the future, talked happily, and seemed to have gotten what they wanted.

After being notified of the specific time, Spandine said that he would wait for him in advance and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Kevin was also in a good mood. Going to Mary Joa under the guise of the Navy was naturally the best choice.

At the same time, he could also test what specific defenses Mary Geoise has against him.

The huge mechanical soldiers that broke in there two hundred years ago are also one of the goals. Before going there, you have to get the chicken talisman back.

In the vice admiral's residence at the headquarters of the navy, Kevin stood at the window and quietly thought about what to do three days later.

He had no choice but to be careful. In that place that had ruled the entire world for eight hundred years, although most of the Celestial Dragons were useless slugs, the Knights of God still had the Five Elders and Im behind them...

The power these people possess and the power hidden behind them remain a mystery.

……

Just the next day, Kevin, who was still staying in the Navy Headquarters, was summoned by Sengoku.

Obviously, Mary Joa's decision has been made, and Zhan Guo also needs to affirm Kevin's attitude.

Although because both sides needed it, the Navy publicized the farce to all naval branches, allowing Kevin's reputation to be restored and continue to rise.

But at the same time, whether he can go one step further, or even become a general, Sengoku and He need to convince Kevin of his position.

A navy that is connected with the World Government, what they want is Kevin who is in the Navy but can communicate with the World Government.

Instead of Kevin, who is on the side of the World Government but serves as an admiral in the Navy.

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in."

As soon as he entered the door, Kevin turned around and gently closed the door.

In the Marshal's office, there were only two people, Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Um…and a goat with a bell.

"Going to Mary Geoise the day after tomorrow to hold her accountable is just a formality."

Zhan Guo’s first sentence proved that he also had his own information channels.

"Don't worry. It's clear that the top leaders of the World Government don't care about your behavior. And after this, the Navy will move your file to the candidate admiral. You can come up with a code name of your own, but it must follow the regulations of this generation of the headquarters."

Codename?

Kevin really wanted to directly use the revolutionary army's fire, but this was tantamount to stupid behavior.

But he really has trouble naming, and the code names of this generation of candidate admirals in the navy are all the same, color plus animal.

Red rabbit?

Although it meets the two points of red and rabbit, it is too feminine, and peach rabbit already exists.

"We can think about the code name later."

At this time, He's voice sounded, and then he picked up a document on the desk.

"There is something I think I should tell you."

Lieutenant General He handed the document directly to Kevin.

The knock came.

After just one glance, Kevin was surprised and asked, "How is this possible?!"

But in his heart, he was more surprised at the efficiency and speed of the navy. In just over a week, after Bartelnomí returned to the West Sea, he directly explored and dug into the details of him.

There were no conclusions marked on this document, but every page showed that Bartelnomy's position had serious problems and that there was a high possibility that there were hidden revolutionary forces.

Lieutenant General He said in a deep voice: "Perhaps Lieutenant General Kevin is still unclear about Bartelnom's past. It is precisely because of this that we have obtained this analysis report."

The document was retrieved by He and then handed to Zhan Guo who was standing nearby.

Zhan Guo handed the document directly to the goat next to him and it was eaten.

"Of course we don't doubt Vice Admiral Kevin's intentions. After all, Vice Admiral Kevin came to the Navy Headquarters eight years ago and rarely returns to the West Sea."

Lieutenant Tsuru continued, "Also, Bartelnomi's current analysis is not enough to prove that there is something wrong with his thinking, so we did not take any action."

"The purpose of letting Vice Admiral Kevin know is to make him have less contact with them in the future. After all, the Navy needs evidence, but the World Government does not."
