One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

The calm sea water gradually rippled, and the overlapping waves gathered into a more turbulent wave. Under the cloudless sky, the roaring white beast pounced on the towering fortress in the distance with its fangs and claws.

Marine Headquarters, Marinford.

On the top of the magnificent building complex, the white seagull flag fluttered in the sky, proudly telling the world about the justice of the navy.

"This is what happened. The pirate who called himself the Blackbeard Pirates said so."

In the meeting room of the navy, Lafayette's performance in the holy land of Marijoa was being played.

"It's still scary! Using a former companion to seek the position of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, what a scary guy." Kizaru, who was crossing his legs and doing his nails, said meaningfully.

"Ah, if we agree to his terms, there will inevitably be a huge conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates."

"After all, that guy Whitebeard," Kuzan paused halfway through, and then continued, "is the most protective."

"Perhaps, this incident will cause a large-scale conflict between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates."

Faced with this serious problem, Kuzan, who has always been lazy, also perked up.

"Hmph! They are just pirates. They should have been eliminated long ago. Even if a full-scale war between the Navy and the pirates breaks out, it doesn't matter. As long as the pirates can be eradicated, a few sacrifices are nothing."

Akainu, who never shows mercy to pirates, speaks as coldly as ever.

"Ah He, what do you think about this?"

The Navy's Chief of Staff, He, who looked old but was actually full of energy, thought carefully for a while, and then said: "The old guy Whitebeard regards his crew as his sons. If he knew that Fire Fist Ace and Flower Sword Vista were in our Navy's hands, he would definitely attack Impelton."

"If so, we can take this opportunity to give the Whitebeard Pirates a heavy blow, recreate the four emperors' competition in the past, and provoke a new hegemony competition in the New World."

After expressing his own views, Vice Admiral He cast his eyes on the Navy Marshal Sengoku who was sitting above and wearing a white seagull hat.

It can be said that as a Navy's Chief of Staff, He's plan is very feasible, but the outcome of this war is hard to say.

The Whitebeard Pirates and its affiliated pirate groups together probably have more than tens of thousands of people, most of whom are powerful pirates who have experienced the fighting in the New World and have been selected.

Relying solely on the existing forces of the Navy Headquarters, it is simply impossible to match them in terms of quantity and quality.

Even if the Navy Headquarters wins the war by chance, it will cause irreparable damage to the headquarters.

Marinford is not just a simple name, it is the holy land of justice in the minds of all navy.

Standing in front of the table with his hands crossed, the lenses of the toad glasses are shining white, and the taciturn Sengoku suddenly speaks.

"If so, I plan to summon the elite navy of the four seas and the Grand Line, set up a battle in Marinford, and publicly execute Fire Fist Ace and Flower Sword Vista."

"Use this opportunity to completely destroy the entire Whitebeard Pirates, strengthen the reputation of the Navy, and at the same time end this era of pirates that was opened by our mistakes."

The empty conference room was silent at this moment, and the three admirals and Crane present looked at Sengoku with disbelief.

"Sengoku, this plan is too crazy. The World Government will not agree to it."

"You forgot about the drought Jack who was released before, and Kaido who escaped accidentally some time ago. What the World Government wants is the balance on the sea."

"No need to say more, Ahe. I have been the Admiral of the Navy for so long, and I naturally know the attitude of the World Government towards pirates."

Under the white lenses, Sengoku's eyes showed a firm look.

"The Great Pirate Era has brought too much harm to the civilians on this sea. As the initiator, it is time for me to give them an explanation."

The eyes penetrated the conference room and saw the plaque of justice hanging in the Marshal's office, the East China Sea in the corner of the world, and Roger kneeling on the execution platform, roaring and opening the Great Pirate Era.

Taking off his glasses, Sengoku rubbed his sore eyes and suddenly remembered the question that An asked himself through the Den Den Mushi.

"Grandpa Sengoku, is this in line with our justice?"

Recalling his original answer, Sengoku muttered to himself, "An, now it's my turn to pay the price for justice."

Putting on the toad glasses again, Sengoku seemed to have changed into a different person, back to the day when he took office as the Admiral of the Navy, back to the day when he hung the plaque "Justice Reigning Over the World" in his office.

"Sakaski, you go to Magic Valley Town in person to receive the two captains of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Feeling Sengoku's determination, Akainu, as an iron-blooded soldier, walked out of the conference room with a sonorous and powerful step.

Ending the Great Pirate Era? It's really a bold decision, Mr. Sengoku.

"Alala, Mr. Sengoku, is there anything I can do!" This is the first time Kuzan has volunteered since the O'Hara incident.

"Bru Bru!"

The harsh cry of the Den Den Mushi interrupted the two people who were about to talk.

"At this juncture, what important thing has happened again!"

The five old guys are basically the ones who can call Sengoku's Den Den Mushi.

"Moshimoshi, I'm Sengoku."

"Sengoku! Charles Drozan was attacked by an unknown enemy on the Gulan Tezoro. Let the admiral go quickly and make sure Charles Drozan's life is guaranteed."

The reason why the Five Elders were so angry was not only because someone dared to attack the Celestial Dragons and provoke the World Government, but more because Char Derosheng was one of the few remaining bloodlines of the Celestial Dragons' Char family.

"Marshal Sengoku, it's time to get off work. I'm leaving first!"

He stared at the clock in the conference room. As soon as the minute hand pointed to 12, before the bell rang, Kizaru, who might have to work overtime, turned into a golden light and flew out of the conference room.

Veins on his forehead bulged, Sengoku's eyelids twitched, and he cursed in a low voice: "This greasy monkey."

"What Kizaru doesn't know is that even if he doesn't slip away, Sengoku will send someone else this time.

Gently patting Kuzan's cold shoulder, Sengoku said meaningfully.

"Kuzan's mission this time is handed over to you. After this war with Whitebeard, I will recommend you to the World Government as the next Marine Marshal. The rest depends on you. "

If his plan succeeds, the pirate forces will suffer an unprecedented blow. Without the newcomers who go out to sea every year, the pirate group will slowly die out over time, and even the World Government cannot stop it.

On the contrary, if his plan fails, the strength of the navy will inevitably be severely damaged. The navy will definitely not be able to launch an attack in a short time, and may even need to withdraw its garrison from the New World.

Whichever of these two situations occurs, Kuzan is more suitable than Akainu to become the new Navy Admiral.
