The Pirate Garen

Navy Headquarters.

"Crocodile dead?"

"Moonlight Moria is missing?"

"Rayleigh the Pluto is coming back?"

Seeing the bad news that came one after another, the Marshal of the Warring States Period couldn't help but become solemn.

The wise brain of Zhijiang Warring States began to work continuously, and began to think about the conspiracy and crisis that may be hidden behind these big news:

Why did Raleigh the Pluto come out of the mountain?

As soon as he came out of the mountain, he attacked Qiwuhai, a legal pirate recognized by the world government. Could it be to demonstrate to the navy?

Will the other retired One Piece crew members follow suit?

The more the Warring States thought about it, the more frightened and dignified it became. There seemed to be countless undercurrents crazily surging behind that opened corner, ready to destroy the great rivers and mountains ruled by the world government at any time.

The semi-retired Lieutenant General Karp does not have the tension of "there are always troublesome people who want to harm me" in the Warring States Period.

He comfortably swallowed a whole donut with a cup of hot tea, and finally said with some emotion:

"Rayleigh?"

"It's been a long time since I saw him on the sea."

While talking, Garp laughed heartlessly again:

"Hahaha, it seems that the era of us old men has not passed!"

Zhan Guo helplessly looked at this old friend who used his office as a tea restaurant, and couldn't help shouting angrily:

"You still have the nerve to laugh?!"

"How many days has it been? The new star of the East China Sea you are optimistic about has already killed a Qiwuhai king!"

Garp calmly ate another donut under the staring eyes of the Warring States Period, and said indifferently:

"Isn't that good? It's upholding justice!"

"Besides, the king of Alabasta has come forward to prove Galen's heroic deeds. Do you want to hold him accountable for a pirate who steals the country?"

"this"

Warring States' questioning was choked back by Karp lightly.

Indeed, this Crocodile, which even the member countries of the world government dare to steal, has actually violated the code of conduct that Shichibukai should have.

Fortunately, the success of stealing the country is considered to be the Alabasta royal family's inability to govern the country and being overthrown by its subjects. Anyway, in the eyes of the world government, it is just another individual paying taxes.

But since he failed and was killed in the process of stealing the country, it means that he deserved his death, and the world government can't stand up for a pirate who endangers its allied countries.

In short, this is the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

And the act of "Hero of Alabasta" Galen killing the thief Crocodile was flawless both legally and logically.

Not only that, but what surprised the Warring States period was:

Unlike the information about the disappearance of Moonlight Moria, the internal information about the death of Crocodile was delivered to Sengoku almost at the same time as the news papers that were distributed across the sea.

Those who are strong enough to kill Shichibukai are generally not as eager to become famous as those little pirates, and naturally they will not take the initiative to pay attention to those annoying reporters who are like flies.

In the eyes of the reporters, their traces are as elusive as the clouds in the sky. It is quite rewarding to be able to barely capture a few photos, and it is almost impossible to interview the parties directly.

But the Alabasta hero did things differently

Before the reporters who smelled the big news had time to show their heads, Galen took the initiative to hold a press conference with Alabasta officials, and released all kinds of news about Crocodile's stealing of the country in an open and transparent manner.

Not only that, Galen seems to be very happy to accept interviews and questions from reporters, and told reporters face to face the legendary story of him defeating the Crocodile criminal group's conspiracy to steal the country with his own efforts.

In the past, reporters who had to practice professional skills such as lightness kung fu, concealment, and cross-dressing, and had to follow behind big shots to take pictures were overjoyed.

For the first time in their lives, they discovered that being a reporter can be so easy:

The news materials were sorted out and sent to the hands, and the parties involved personally added the storyline, and there were valuable "red envelopes" to take after attending the press conference.

Naturally, there is no custom of red envelopes in this world. It is Galen who single-handedly polluted the purity of the local press with the practical method passed down from his hometown.

Therefore, the reputation of the hero Galen for killing the people quickly spread throughout the Great Channel through the mature communication channel of Newsbird, and it didn't take long for the Great Channel to cover the whole world.

When the Warring States Marshal saw the news, people all over the world knew the story of the brave man slaying the dragon.

"It's true"

Warring States put those few newspapers with exactly the same tone aside, and couldn't help sighing:

"The world government's propaganda methods are not as sophisticated as this guy!"

"When such news is released, people all over the world will know the legitimacy of his beheading Crocodile."

The world government and the navy are very weak in manipulating public opinion, otherwise those newspapers would not have become pamphlets of legends about great pirates.

Warring States shook his head again, and expressed his thoughts in front of Karp without hesitation:

"The behavior of this guy is indeed beyond reproach, and there is absolutely no way the Navy will hold him accountable for this incident."

"However, the impact of Crocodile's death is very bad."

"In just a few days, the two kings Qi Wuhai died and the other disappeared."

Warring States unconsciously stroked his twist-shaped beard, and sighed with some headaches:

"If this kind of news spreads, the deterrent effect of the Qiwuhai system under the king will be almost gone."

The Shichibukai under the king is originally a group of powerful neutral pirates who are willing to accept the canonization of the world government, recruited from the pirates by the world government in order to reduce the power of the pirates.

While Shichibukai and the world government guard against each other and use each other, the biggest role they play is the invisible supplement to the power of the world government, and the deterrent effect on the little pirates on the sea derived from this.

"Isn't that nice?"

Karp, however, had no intention of sharing his old friend's worries at all, and just said with disdain:

"I have long been displeased with these legitimate pirates."

"This disgusting system should be abolished as soon as possible!"

Karp, who has always acted like a retired old man, has rarely expressed his views clearly.

As an old navy who has fought against pirates all his life, Karp deeply hates the "legitimate pirates" created by the world government to maintain stability.

"I see."

Sengoku actually agrees with Karp's idea, but the position of Admiral of the Navy makes him have to think more about it:

"But this is the decision of the world government and the five old stars, and there is nothing I can do about it. And"

"enough."

Karp suddenly stood up from the sofa, his burly and strong figure brought him natural power:

"Stop talking, Sengoku."

The breath of the Warring States period was stagnant, and a bit of surprise could not help but appear in the eyes looking at Karp.

Although his semi-retired old friend would come to his office every day to drink tea when he was bored, Garp had always simply drank tea and listened, never asked about the affairs of the Navy, and would not be as serious as today. Comment on things.

Sengoku looked at Garp solemnly, looking forward to his next performance.

I saw Karp put down the cup in his hand silently, looked at the Warring States with piercing eyes and said:

"Sengoku, I'm out of donuts."

"Do you still have any in stock?"

"."

Warring States helplessly covered his face.

He felt that his IQ might have deteriorated just now, so he thought that Karp, an old non-priest, would take it seriously.

"No!"

Warring States slapped the table angrily, then pointed at Garp's nose and cursed:

"If you want to drink tea, go out for me, this is the office of the Admiral of the Navy!"

"oh"

Garp agreed casually, but walked to the front of Zhan Guo on his own.

In front of Sengoku, Garp opened the sacred and inviolable desk drawer of the Admiral of the Navy, and under Sengoku's gloomy face, he took out the top secret of the navy hidden in it.

"It's not donuts this time."

Karp shook his head in disappointment, but said with emotion:

"Forget it, the senbei is also good."

The crisp chewing sound suddenly rang out in the office.

Zhan Guo's face was extremely ugly, and the snacks he prepared for himself when he was fishing at work were picked up by Karp again.

"well"

Warring States reluctantly shielded Karp's unbeatable face from his mind, and independently analyzed the slightly severe situation today:

Crocodile is completely cold, and Moria's life and death are unknown.

The position of Qiwuhai under the king suddenly became two vacant.

"It is necessary to select a new Shichibukai."

Many long-established masters and rising stars in the sea appeared in the mind of the Warring States. After careful consideration, they couldn't find a single candidate who might join Qiwuhai.

The masters who have been famous for a long time have their own powers, and it is extremely difficult for them to be the eagle dogs of the world government.

But this year's Pirate Rising Stars are not good in quality and lack of prestige, and they can't find anyone who can be worthy of the name of Shichibukai.

The more the Warring States thought about it, the more headaches became, and he couldn't help feeling sad:

"Can't we find a strong man who can compromise with the world government in this sea?!"

"Warring States."

Garp's voice of chewing the senbei suddenly stopped.

"what?"

Sengoku asked angrily.

"I'm bored if you don't talk to me."

Garp pointed to the newspaper on the table of the Warring States Period solemnly and said, "Help me bring two newspapers over here to read."

"."

Warring States resisted the urge to transform into a Buddha, and picked up the newspaper he had just thrown aside with an ugly expression.

But before Warring States threw the newspaper in Garp's face, his eyes were firmly locked on the news report he had just read in the newspaper.

The author of this report is King Wallace far away in the East China Sea, and the title also has Wallace's usual official style:

"Law-abiding Citizen Galen: Fighting to the End with the Pirates Who Want to Destroy the Order of the World Government"
