One Sword Superman of One Piece World

The news that the former Vice Admiral and Chief of the Criminal Investigation Division had been assassinated did not spread among the Navy headquarters.

It was already a troubled time, and it was impossible for the Warring States Period to let such news leak out. If the sergeants of the headquarters, whose morale was already low, knew that such a thing would happen in the headquarters, it would only reduce the sergeants' trust in the headquarters.

At the same time, Warring States more or less guessed who was behind the assassination. Not long after the meeting ended, Tianzheng encountered such a thing, which was enough to show how powerful the power behind the scenes was hidden in the Navy Headquarters.

Not only the lower-level officers have people from the other side, but also those people are hidden among the top brass of the Navy.

The assassin was killed and the other seriously injured. Warring States had no intention of being careless and ordered a thorough investigation. However, this matter was only entrusted to Kuzan to investigate on his own. No matter what the result was, he was only allowed to report it.

Although Zeng Guo already had a guess in his mind, if something like this happened, it still needed to be investigated. At least Zeng Guo himself needed to have a bottom line. After all, guesses could only be guesses. No matter what the truth was, he had to know it.

In fact, Warring States could roughly understand why the other party would choose to assassinate a former high-ranking naval officer in a place like his headquarters. It was probably to scare the monkeys and show his strength to the generals in his headquarters.

But the consequences of this incident may not develop in the direction that those behind the scenes want.

"This is simply adding fuel to the fire."

"Tianzheng must be sent away from the Navy headquarters as soon as possible. The longer this guy stays at the headquarters, the more variables there will be."

In the temporary marshal's office, Warring States raised his head and looked at the ceiling and sighed heavily, thinking about the case in his mind.

The original intention of the Warring States Period was naturally to try their best to cover up this matter. If such an incident happened at the Navy Headquarters, it would also have a huge blow to the prestige of the Navy Headquarters.

But it is a pity that the headquarters has already had complex roots. The generals have their own networks and intelligence lines. How could such a major event be hidden from others?

"What did you say? Lieutenant General Tianzheng was assassinated?!"

"The assassin failed in the assassination, killing one and wounding the other?"

Among the ruins of the headquarters military building, Lieutenant General Dauberman was leading people to clean up the ground. When he heard the news from a colleague with whom he had a good relationship, his whole body was shocked.

"Keep your voice down, are you afraid that others won't hear you?"

"It seems that Tianzheng was convicted because of his words."

Nichama Goodman is an old navy man who entered the naval school at the same time as Dauberman. However, after he became a commodore, he focused on the drill camp. His development over the years could not keep up with Dauberman, and he was only promoted to the rank of rear admiral. That’s all.

Although Nichama Goodman is not well-known among the many generals in the headquarters, his relationship network and intelligence network are extremely strong. As soon as the assassination incident occurred, he even learned about the news faster than Sengoku.

"Quilified by the introduction?"

"Hasn't the marshal already punished him!? Not to mention being demoted, he was also 'exiled'."

"Isn't it enough to do this?"

"Must Tianzheng die?"

Dauberman lowered his voice, frowned, and there was a hint of anger in his tone. Dauberman was a serious man, and the most profound impression the navy had on him was probably his fierce face.

He is a hawk, and like Sakaski, he believes in absolute justice, and the justice in his eyes is the Navy and the Navy Headquarters itself.

After hearing what happened to Tianzheng, he felt that the treatment of the Warring States Period was somewhat unfair due to his upright personality. It was really a loss of points to engage in such things as assassinations, which was completely contrary to the "justice" of their navy.

If Tianzheng's outrageous remarks were really to be blamed, he could simply order the arrest in a generous manner. Why use such a method?

"What are you thinking about? Dauberman, can you please use your brain?"

"I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with the Warring States Marshal. If he wanted to deal with Tianzheng, why would he use such methods?"

"Even if it's a bit ugly to arrest them directly, wouldn't it be easier to give the Tianzheng faction some life-or-death tasks?"

"And there won't be any criticism."

"There is someone else who ordered the assassination."

Nichama Goodman whispered in Dauberman's ear, giving him some advice. Dauberman was not a stupid person. When his friend said this, a sudden realization came to his mind and he understood.

With anger on his face, Dauberman cursed in a low voice:

"Asshole, those guys actually dare to interfere in the internal affairs of the Navy?!"

"They even planted spies in the headquarters?!"

Dauberman's chest was full of anger. The more he thought about this matter, the bigger the secret behind it became, and he was secretly shocked.

The Vice Admiral, who is always on the front line, would not pay much attention to these things in normal times.

It was only in recent years, as the reputation of the New Navy following Kuni Enichi became more and more famous that some people in the headquarters began to think deeply about the so-called "position."

"Planting spies? How can it be so simple?"

"It would be nice if the world government's control of our navy was just that simple"

"This matter is not over yet, Tianzheng is not dead, and those people's goals have not been achieved yet."

"Just wait and see, there are still many good shows to watch."

Nichama Goodman assumed a posture of watching from the sidelines. When he said this, he didn't care about the life and death of his former colleagues at all. The deep look in his eyes made his old friend Dauberman couldn't help but look at him more. Eye.

"A good show?"

"We are all naval officers, how can we allow such a thing to happen?"

"We just won the war with the Whitebeard Pirates with great difficulty. The headquarters suffered heavy damage and the personnel suffered huge casualties. Isn't this the time when we need to unite and cooperate to tide over the difficulties together?"

"How could you"

Dauberman was a little dissatisfied with his good friend's words, but before he could say the question, he was interrupted by Nichama Goodman:

"No, now is not the time for unity and cooperation, it is the time to assess the situation!"

"Taking sides is an art, and you guys don't understand it at all."

"Now, there are three paths before us, if we choose well."

Dauberman could only understand part of Nechama Goodman's words: "I can understand what you said about assessing the situation."

"But...how are there three roads?"

"World Government and Marshal, aren't there only two ways to go?"

Nichama Goodman shook his head slightly, stretched out a finger to remind: "The third path Tianzheng takes is the third way."

"Originally, it was a dead end, but now it seems that it is not as dead as we imagined."

Upon hearing Nechama Goodman's words, Dauberman's pupils shrank and he looked at his partner in shock.

"Can there be any major development in this three-acre area of ​​the Navy Headquarters?"

"You are a lieutenant general and I am a major general."

"Your ability is indeed outstanding, but the lieutenant general is over. I'll give you a general position. Do you dare to sit down?"

"I also have a very clear understanding of myself. If I become a major general or a lieutenant general, it will be the end of my life."

"There seems to be some power and fame, but in this system, who doesn't know who is who? Your lieutenant general still has some value. What's the use of a major general like me?!"

"A major general leading hundreds of people? Ridiculous!"

"But if you open your eyes and look at the world, you will find that the world is really too big, and there are so many places with huge power gaps."

"Dauberman, I don't want to get rich or live a luxurious life."

"I joined the navy to see the scenery above!"

Nichama Goodman's eyes were blazing and fiery, and Dauberman saw vigorous ambition on his face. He had a new perception of his old friend. He had never thought that his partner would be such a person.

He didn't even recognize him.

"Do you want to completely lean towards the World Government?"

Dauberman pondered for a long time and asked aloud.

"World government? Eight hundred years have passed, and power has long become a pyramid, unbreakable!"

"I'm not a Celestial Dragon, so what's the point of leaning towards the World Government?"

Upon hearing this, Dauberman nodded slightly to express his approval, but the next second, Dauberman's pupils shrank suddenly and he quickly turned his head to look at his old friend.

If not the world government, then the navy? But isn't he now a rear admiral? If it is not the case, then

"Although the new navy has been established for some years, its development speed is not very fast. It is not possible to follow the national destiny and not think about it."

"Is it his strength and resources that restrict him? No."

Nichama Goodman didn't speak clearly, but Dauberman understood what the other party meant immediately. And it was precisely because of this that Dauberman was so shocked.

"Now, let's take a look at the new navy's methods!"

"If Ji Guoyuan cannot protect Tianzheng, their new navy will have no value."

Nichama Goodman seemed to be sinking into his own emotions. He patted Dauberman's shoulder lightly, murmured and turned to leave.

Dauberman was silent for a long time as he watched Nichama Goodman leave.

That night, many senior officials in the Navy Headquarters who were not satisfied with the status quo lay awake.

Tianzheng's words at the meeting shattered the shell of "the sanctity and inviolability of world government" in people's minds.

People who have tasted the taste of power will never be satisfied with the status quo.

The new navy is in a period of rapid development. The rapidly expanding power must have a sufficient number of managers. In this three-acre area of ​​​​the headquarters, there are too many flower vase generals with empty military ranks.

That night, Tianzheng, who had just been assassinated, did not act rashly and stayed peacefully in his room, seemingly grounding himself.

Although the Warring States Period did not send anyone to monitor Tianzheng, Tianzheng knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the headquarters.

For several days, Tianzheng did not do anything eye-catching. After being dismissed from the Criminal Investigation Section, he had some free time. From time to time, he would help the grassroots navy clean up the ruins, or go to the wounded barracks. He helped the military doctors change dressings for the wounded.

These actions of his were also seen by those who were interested.

Nothing unusual.

Two days later, the official transfer order regarding Tianzheng finally came down. The news that Tianzheng was about to leave the headquarters was known to many people.

Some of the navy officers who had been taken care of by Tianzheng during this period also came to the port to see him off. Although he was no longer a vice admiral, he was still the base commander, wasn't he? No one could guarantee that such a young Tianzheng would never rise again.

There were not many people who came to see him off, only a few dozen people. The Crime Investigation Division was an offensive department, and Tianzheng didn't have many close friends in the headquarters, only some grassroots officers he had just met.

There was no grand farewell scene, nor any sensational words. After a few simple conversations with these people, Tianzheng boarded the warship and prepared to leave the headquarters.

Until Tianzheng's ship disappeared on the sea level, everything was normal.

Not long after Tianzheng's ship left, Nichama Goodman slowly walked out of the dark and looked at the departing warship. He couldn't help wondering: "Just leave like that? Nothing done?"

"The World Government didn't take action again?"

The people in the headquarters expected that Tianzheng might contact some people privately to shake some people's positions, and also expected that the World Government would take action against Tianzheng again, but unexpectedly, none of these things happened.

"Wow--"

Just when Nichama Goodman was wondering, there were bursts of light noises in the sky. Nichama Goodman looked up at the sky and saw dense newspapers falling from the sky. The newspapers formed a rain of paper and slowly fell from the sky.

Nichama Goodman was stunned, his pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly reached out to catch a newspaper:

"Big Recruitment?"

Nichama Goodman looked at the newspaper in his hand carefully, and just reading a title, he couldn't help but feel a wave of doubt in his mind, but as he read more, Nichama Goodman's face suddenly changed.

The content of the newspaper was actually the new navy of Tsugukuni Yoshiichi promoting its own recruitment activities.

But if it was just that, Nichama Goodman would not have such a big emotional fluctuation, but some small "entries" in this recruitment propaganda attracted his attention.

"If the navy of the headquarters has no bad records, they can retain their military ranks and directly join the new navy, automatically promoted by half a level, and their treatment doubled."

"The recruitment work will be in charge of Tianzheng, the former vice admiral of the headquarters of the navy and the current candidate for admiral of the new navy."

"Once recruited, the military dependents can move to the islands of the new navy's sphere of influence, such as Wan Guo, to live."

The completely inconspicuous entry caused Nichama Goodman to be shocked. For ordinary navy officers, the third item of this conscription information is quite tempting.

Only the families of high-ranking officers in the navy are eligible to live in Marinford, and other families can only live in their hometowns.

If the family is in the four seas and the local situation is stable, then there is no problem, but if it is a country with a bad living environment and strong aristocratic oppression, it is completely hell.

In this world, as long as there is gold in the sky, how many countries can have citizens who live carefree?

There are only a few countries with favorable climatic conditions and rich natural resources.

"Wow--"

Just as Nichama Goodman was carefully examining the conscription "advertisement" in his hand, there was a slight sound in the sky.

A group of news birds flew through the air, and a thick newspaper flew through the air.

Nichama Goodman casually caught a newspaper and read the content on it:

"Shocking, the secret God Valley incident!"

"The defense of the arrested criminal: I originally wanted to be a good person! 》

《Exclusive revelation, the secret of Marinford's corruption! 》

《A vice admiral's autobiography: Why I left the headquarters. 》

One after another "small essay" was published in the newspaper, and the author was written under the title of each small essay.

Nichama Goodman looked at it carefully and found that the author of these articles was the same person

Former head of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Navy Headquarters, Vice Admiral Tianzheng!

Behind Zhan Guo's office, a subordinate brought two newspapers to be thrown at Marinford. Looking at the contents of the newspapers, Zhan Guo's hands trembled slightly, and his veins jumped.

"Assholes, those guys are assholes!" After a roar, Zhan Guo leaned weakly on the chair, covering his head, and felt a headache.

At the temporary station of the Naval Academy, the cadets were talking while reading the newspapers. A little further away, Zefa was sitting on a piece of gravel, and did not order these young cadets to stop reading these contents because he himself was holding a newspaper and reading Tianzheng's masterpieces carefully.

"Teacher Zefa, are these all true?!"

A young student came to Zefa's side with a nervous look on his face and asked softly.

Looking at the other person's young and slightly immature face, Zefa pondered for a moment and sighed softly:

"There is basically no problem with the authenticity of the incident."

Zefa's words attracted a lot of discussion among the young people.
