Pirate: Eternal

"Sabo, it turns out this kid is still alive..."

All the generals remained silent, except Garp who stared at the faxed newspaper from the West China Sea and muttered to himself.

Facing the silence of everyone, Chief of Staff He knew as well as Ming Jing that he was afraid that if he said he didn't believe it, he would be given an excuse to suppress his subordinates.

When military officials reach a certain level, they are basically no different from politicians.

Because it was about Dorag, Sengoku, who was paying close attention to Garp, happened to hear his muttering, and suddenly the veins on his forehead bulged and his fists became hard.

"Garp, don't say that this Sabo is also your grandson!"

More than a month ago, a straw hat boy named Monkey D. Luffy appeared in the East China Sea. He first defeated Aaron, a former member of the Sun Pirates who had a bounty of 2000 million Baileys, and then attacked Navy Captain Mouse.

In the East China Sea, known as the weakest sea, Monkey D. Luffy's first bounty reached 3000 million Baileys, reaching a height that many pirates could not reach in their lifetimes.

What many people don’t know is that such a talented pirate is the blood grandson of the naval hero Lieutenant General Garp!

Now something happened to the Revolutionary Army. The leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dorag, is Karp’s biological son. It just so happened that Garp knew the young man from the Revolutionary Army in the newspaper...

"Uh."

Garp pondered for a moment, then laughed and touched the back of his head and said,

"This kid can be considered my grandson!"

Although he was laughing, Garp's eyes were slightly misty, and memories flooded back to the East China Sea Windmill Village in his mind.

Three naughty little guys became sworn brothers. They supported each other and grew up together, until one little guy started making trouble and went to sea at a young age. It happened that that day he encountered the Tianlong people's ship...

It's good to be alive!

Different from Garp's emotion, Sengoku vowed in his heart at this time that if time could go back to when he and Garp fought side by side, he would definitely kill this guy first with his backhand.

Chief of Staff He glanced at the two people, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and continued to preside over the meeting:

"There are two issues that need to be resolved now. The first is what to do with the captured revolutionary army. Should they be publicly executed or imprisoned in Impel Down City?"

"Secondly, according to my investigation, Colonel Statham is completely controlling the situation in the Xihai branch. We only know a lot of the information he wants us to know. We don't know anything he doesn't want us to know. If we continue, Xihai will be out of our control at any time."

"Disposal of the revolutionary army..." Kizaru lowered his head and cut his nails and said slowly: "Hasn't the Wulaoxing side issued an order yet?"

The navy basically has no say in what to do with the revolutionary army. The final result still depends on what the World Government says.

Chief of Staff He shook his head and laughed at himself: "Even we only learned about the situation in the West China Sea after Colonel Statham reported it. Wulaoxing and the others probably only got the news now and are discussing it."

"Then let's not discuss the revolutionary army for now." Warring States continued, "Let's talk about the arrangements for Colonel Statham."

"Since Colonel Statham became the branch chief, although various incidents have continued in the sea area he is responsible for, the pirates who have appeared have been killed or arrested, and we have never received a complaint against Colonel Statham."

"Wealthy businessmen from the West Sea often call our headquarters to express their gratitude to Colonel Statham for retrieving the goods plundered by pirates, and offer to sponsor the construction of the West Sea branch."

"I seem to have only seen such a beautiful resume in the previous General Aokiji. Even General Kizaru and General Akainu are far behind."

"With Admiral Akainu's method of fighting pirates, it's normal for him to receive many complaints."

"The words of General Kizaru..."

A certain lieutenant general was about to answer when he suddenly noticed that Kizaru, who was cutting his nails, raised his head to look at him, and had to swallow the words that came to his lips.

"..."

In this way, the generals looked at Colonel Statham's resume and information placed in front of them, and started to express their opinions.

"I'm asking you to express your opinion, not asking you to repeat it based on your resume. I know the words!"

After listening for a while, the Warring States Marshal who couldn't stand it finally couldn't help but interrupt.

Anyone who can get into the position of general in the army is a good person. Even if he is not good at the beginning, he will be forced to do so if he stays in the position for a long time.

Marshal Warring States knows that these guys know that Colonel Statham's background will never be as clean as his resume, but there is currently no evidence to prove that Statham's hands and feet are unclean. It can only be said that Statham is very controlling and ambitious.

In the current situation where Statham has made great contributions, no one will deliberately target him. If Statson applies for an investigation and fails to investigate anything, Statson happens to be promoted from Xihai to his subordinates. If there is a gap between him and his subordinates, it is not to find fault for himself. Accept it?

Especially on the battlefield with pirates, you have to be wary not only of pirates but also of your own subordinates, and the reason for all this is because of that extra word.

Unless they have a grudge or are really unruly, no one would do such a thankless thing.

In fact, the meaning of the Warring States Period is very obvious, that is, they want all the generals here to apply to investigate Statham, so that even if nothing is found later, no one will say anything about them when all factions are involved.

However, no one answered the call...

No one is stupid. Regardless of whether Colonel Statham was responsible for capturing the second-in-command Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, he will soon be commended by the Five Stars of the World Government.

Just like the surrender of Roger the Pirate King, the world government is always known for being arrested by the navy to put money on his face.

When investigating Statham under such circumstances, even if something really comes out, anything that is not too egregious will be downplayed or even ignored.

If you want to investigate, Marshal, you can do it alone. If we don't wade into this muddy water, we won't turn potential colleagues and partners into potential enemies.

As for Warring States himself bringing it up, this is simply impossible. As a good leader, he can only go along with the situation.

After all, if nothing is found in the investigation, the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the Navy will question him and whether he can continue to serve as marshal.

A leader can never make mistakes!

Seeing that Warring States was a bit unable to get off the stage, Chief of Staff He sighed helplessly and opened his mouth to come to the rescue:

"I propose that Colonel Statham be promoted to the rank of major general and transferred from the West China Sea to serve in the headquarters."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals present nodded in agreement. Sengoku was so angry that his fists were clenched and he stared at Garp with murderous eyes.

If it weren't for the connection between Garp and the Revolutionary Army, Garp would actually be the most suitable person to apply to investigate Statham. But when this matter involves the Revolutionary Army, everything Garp says will change.
