Chapter 1248
Xuan shrugged and said, "I just sent me here to see you because of the currents. As for staying for a while, I will be free. I think I will leave the new world for a while. As for where to go, let's talk. A new era is coming soon Whitebeard, but I think it's your big time for a long time, so good luck."
"Ku la la la la... It's better for Xuan to speak nicely, Marco, the banquet is ready. Take out the treasures I robbed of the Champagne Kingdom, and everyone will drink openly tonight." Edward laughed loudly.
The eyes of Marco and the others lit up, and they hurried to the warehouse. They could vaguely hear their conversation, "It's been a long time since Dad snatched it last time. I heard that even the king of the champagne kingdom would not be willing to drink it. It's a hundred-year-old wine. Hehe, last time I just smelled a little smell With drunkenness, let me tell you this is definitely the best wine you've ever seen."
Xuan looked at all this with a light smile, and felt very relaxed. As he said, he just stopped by to visit an old friend.
The banquet at night is naturally extremely grand, pirates are such a group of people, they can come to the grandest banquet for any reason, and then get drunk while bragging loudly.
"Ku la la la, boy Xuan, let's drink to you for coming to see me today." White Beard laughed while holding up a cup more than one meter high.
Xuan raised the wine glass in his hand and touched it with him.
It has to be said that the wine that White Beard brought out this time is indeed a high-quality wine, and even Xuan sighed in admiration from the bottom of his heart. It's almost catching up with the stock of the golden treasures enshrined to the gods.
That night, the entire Whitebeard Pirates partyed all night, and Whitebeard's inventory was also exhausted overnight.
After staying on the Moby Dick for two days, Xuan left this sea area again in his small boat. With the current drifting freely, he left the new world through the red earth continent.
It's just that this time he didn't try to dismantle Marie Gioia again. After the goal has been achieved, he is not a saboteur.
But Xuan didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts. Wu Laoxing received the information immediately when passing through the Red Earth Continent.
When they got the news, they almost peed in fright, but after Xuan left, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 97 The Nervous Navy
When Xuan left the new world, a big news ignited the whole world again.
It stands to reason that over the years people should have been used to the big news that comes out from time to time. But this time the news was unusual.
The Roger Pirates, the pirate group called a miracle by many pirates, finally successfully set foot on Ralph Drew, and successfully returned to the new world after that.
For countless people, this is equivalent to a bolt from the blue. The title of One Piece was added to Roger's body, and the whole pirate world boiled for a while.
For countless years, countless big pirates have gone looking for Ralph Drew, wanting to be crowned as the One Piece King, and wanting to be a truly free person in this sea.
But without exception, everyone failed. In repeated failures, the pirates even doubted the truth of the legend, and the existence of Ralph Drew was once questioned.
And under such circumstances, the pirates gradually deviated from the path of chasing their dreams, and became violent, bloodthirsty, and rebellious.
They began to burn, kill, loot, do all kinds of evil, and even attacked merchant ships and civilians time and time again.
The navy is against it, and it is its mission to maintain justice at sea. During hundreds of years of fighting, pirates have become synonymous with evil.
But there are always some people who are special, they stick to their dreams and fight for them.
Even their identities as pirates can't hide the dazzling light on them.
There is no doubt that Roger is that kind of person.
With the discovery of Ralph Drew and Roger's coronation, the whole world of pirates became excited. They seemed to see the goal of the original pirates again, and they seemed to have found the meaning of their existence.
In comparison, the entire navy cannot calm down.
Pirates and the navy are always in opposition. Now that the other party has become active and excited, they must make a statement, otherwise the foundation of the existence of the navy will be shaken.
Because of the momentum of the Pirates over the past few years, I heard that the quality of the newly recruited naval cadets has dropped significantly.
Among Zefa's current students, the highest potential student was actually only a student with lieutenant potential. This worried the entire senior navy. With this kind of next generation, can they really fight against the increasingly powerful pirates? Do they really have the power to maintain the justice of the sea?
...
"How's that guy Garp doing? Is the injury still healed?" the current Marshal Kong said seriously at the Navy Headquarters.
Present here are the two current generals, Sengoku, Zefa, and Lieutenant Admiral Crane, the chief of staff of the Navy, and about ten lieutenant generals including Kizaru, Aokiji, and Red Dog, basically all of the Navy's headquarters. High level.
Sengoku whispered, "Not yet, he has been seriously injured since the battle with Roger. In addition, he was wandering alone at sea at that time, so it was already a miracle that our navy could find him. When he was discovered, he had already Dying, if he can be rescued, his life will be great."
"Damn it!" Kong slammed his fist on the table, showing how bad he was in this moment.
"Forget it, leave Garp alone, what do you think about Roger finding Ralph Drew and becoming the One Piece?"
Following Sora's gaze, some lieutenant generals lowered their heads subconsciously.
As the chief of staff, He coughed lightly, "Marshal, I think we must take action on this matter. Since the Battle of Seven Waters three years ago, the prestige of our navy has been hit repeatedly, even to the point of crisis.
For hundreds of years, we have fought against pirates at sea, protecting the peace of the great waterway and even the world. It depends on our own strength and our insistence on justice. However, we must also face up to the problem of insufficient overall strength of our navy. This sea is too big to accommodate countless pirates. Fortunately, they have never integrated their forces for so many years, so we can break through each other and form a check on each other.
And now, Roger has become the Pirate King. With his prestige, he may be able to gather unimaginable terrifying power, and the balance between us and the pirates may be broken because of this. Therefore, I suggest to concentrate high-level forces and carry out a crusade against Roger! "
"En!" Kong fell into deep thought after listening, but did not express his opinion immediately.
"I don't agree with Lieutenant General He's opinion." At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared, and everyone subconsciously looked sideways, seeing the general Zhan Guo.
"Oh, Sengoku, do you have a different opinion?" Sora said softly.
He has special expectations for the Warring States Period. As Sora himself grew older, he desperately needed someone to step up to take over the position of Admiral of the Navy.
But according to the rules of the navy and the world government, the admiral must be selected among the generals. However, there are only two generals in this generation, Sengoku and Zefa.
Well, Garp can become a general at any time if he wants. But the admiral never considered Karp for such a matter.
God knows what would have happened if Cap had been in charge of the entire navy, it would have been a disaster just to think about it.
Among the remaining Warring States and Zefa, Zefa is too old, and his personality is a bit extreme because of his experience when he was young, so he is not suitable to be a marshal to lead the navy.
At this time, only Sengoku was left on the list to choose from, and Sora naturally hoped that Sengoku would have more of his own views, and stand up to lead the entire navy at critical times.
"Yes, Marshal." Sengoku nodded, "From the current situation, our navy has not yet reached the point where we must put all our eggs in one basket. The key lies in Roger."
"Huh?" Sora's eyes narrowed, "Go ahead."
Sengoku nodded and continued, "For so many years, it is Garp who has been chasing Roger, but I have also dealt with Roger a few times. He is a complete dreamer, and what he wants is absolute freedom.
It can be said that he has seldom actively attacked the navy over the years..."
"Admiral of the Warring States Period!" Crane suddenly interrupted at this time, "I must remind you that Luo Jie attacked the navy when he was a monk, and took away Marshal Kong's main ship 'Philip' at that time."
"Of course I know!" Zhan Guo snorted softly, "That's why I said he rarely attacks, but it's not that he never attacks."
Chapter 98: Great Qing Suppression
"Staff Crane, let Zhan Guo continue." Kong said in a deep voice, stopping the quarrel between the two.
Sengoku Asora nodded and continued, "Yes, Roger once attacked the navy and took away the 'Philip' more than 20 years ago, but this doesn't explain anything. It only proves that he is bold, The Navy has never been placed on an equal footing in mind.
This can also be seen from his later behavioral style. No matter it is against any force, Roger is unscrupulous. He is truly acting from the heart. "
