The story started when he just found the trace of the Golden Dragon.

It was impossible for the Navy Headquarters to make a deal with a pirate, so Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, who had come to pick up the Empress, naturally didn't know about it.

But he already knew about the Straw Hat Pirates' domineering ship. Although it was not clear what happened in the Sabaody Archipelago, Flying Squirrel knew that the Straw Hat Pirates were not something he could deal with.

After the message was passed up, it was also delivered to Sengoku's hands as soon as possible.

He was in a huge conference room at this time, holding a late-stage combat meeting with Crane, Garp, the three admirals of the headquarters, and the main vice admirals. He had just returned from the holy land of Marijoa.

After much persuasion and the promise of resigning after the war, he persuaded the Five Elders not to involve Xia Chen in the subsequent war, otherwise it would be hard to say what the situation would be like.

Sengoku's strength may not be as good as Garp's, but he focuses on tactics and management.

In this regard, even if 10 Garps were tied together, they could not catch up with Sengoku.

It is precisely because of this that Sengoku's prestige in the navy is getting heavier. The World Government hopes that the navy can balance with the pirates and not break it easily, but it is also unwilling to see a person who has a deeper and deeper control over the navy sitting in this position for too long.

As for promotion, how is this possible?

Sengoku's predecessor, the general marshal of the army, Kong Gang, is still alive and well!

Although Kong is now very obedient to the management of their Celestial Dragons.

However, as a military organization, the general marshal of the army. This

It has reached the top. If he wants to go up, will he have to switch from military to civil? Isn't this a waste of talent?

Besides, some of the darkness in the World Government is not suitable for the Navy to know. Therefore, in the eyes of the Five Elders, it is best for Sengoku to resign, but not to leave the Navy.

The Navy can use Sengoku's ability at any time.

Of course, the Five Elders themselves are not representatives of credibility. They promised Sengoku and did not withdraw the candidates sent to provoke Kaido.

For many years... No, for hundreds of years, no one dared to scold them like this.

They are really impatient to live. If it weren't for Lord Im's request, they really wanted to peel Xia Chen's skin now.

They think that Xia Chen is strong, but it depends on who he is compared with. At least in the eyes of the Five Elders, they think that the strength of the five of them is superior to the three admirals and the four emperors.

What's more important is that they are immortal!

It's a pity that these people have been at the top for too long and don't understand that the sea is changing with each passing day.

Apart from Xia Chen, who has cheats, there are only a few top warriors in the sea, and they can even be said to be at the same level as the emperor.

Of course, this same level does not represent the real combat power.

It is just a saying.

Of course, the strength of the general and the emperor is on the same standard, but the emphasis is different in various aspects.

There are very few hexagonal warriors without shortcomings.

——

After returning from Marijoa, Zhan Guo held an emergency tactical meeting again. Although they temporarily transferred Xia Chen away, they still had to consider the risk of the other party suddenly joining.

It was just that at the beginning of the meeting, most of the important eyes fell on Garp.

This was the first time that Garp showed his face in front of everyone since he came back last time.

Slightly curved blue hair, red nose, loose red and white clown costume, plus the same red cloak with strange patterns.

The old man didn't care about the solemn occasion and ate senbei crunchingly.

The veins on Sengoku's forehead were throbbing.

But considering the actual situation, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Those who were dozing opened their eyes, those who were sitting with their legs crossed and rubbing their nails straightened their postures, and especially those who were smoking cigars, they also slowed down their breathing and rhythm.

"Okay, stop looking. This is Garp's personal hobby. Let's talk business now. Sakaski, what are the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Marshal, the Whitebeard Pirates are still operating within their original range and there are no signs of them moving out." Sakaski's voice was low and serious.

"Maybe they don't know about our arrest of Ace yet." A vice admiral said.

"It's possible, so let Big News Morgans cooperate with the publicity, and you will be responsible for this matter, Crane!" Sengoku said.

Then they discussed other things.
, just when the meeting was halfway through, a messenger rushed in and delivered a piece of intelligence.

Zhan Guo only glanced at the beginning, flying squirrel?

Didn't this guy go to pick up the empress?

So what's wrong with the empress again, this woman...

Currently, the only seven warlords of the sea who have arrived are Gekko Moriah, Hawkeye, and Tyrant Bear. The rest have either not left yet, are on the way, or have died.

In fact, if Crocodile hadn't died inexplicably in Alabasta, Gekko Moriah might not have come this time.

The specific strategic goals have not been told to them, but it was just said that the call for the seven warlords of the sea had been launched, and there was a war that needed them to join.

Because of Xia Chen's intervention, too many things deviated from the original.

After reading the conclusion, God gave him a bolt from the blue. Xia Chen actually ran to Amazon Lily.

Did Xia Chen know something?

The collection of intelligence about this kind of big pirate has been going on. He knows that Ace has been to Alabasta for the purpose of chasing Blackbeard. He is not sure whether he has any intersection with Xia Chen.

And except for him and Crane, no one knows the relationship between Ace and Garp. All this will be gradually exposed when Garp goes to the Deep Sea Prison to escort Ace.

In fact, it can be seen from this aspect alone.

The intelligence organization of the Navy, and even the entire World Government, are quite lame.

Zhan Guo did not deliberately suppress it, so everyone present heard it, and then fell silent. Now it seems that the probability of Xia Chen joining this battle has increased again.

Crane suddenly remembered something. He asked Zhan Guo, did the 'Tyrant' Bartholomew Big Bear tell him the specific location of Xia Chen's companions?

Zhan Guo shook his head. How could this be possible?

It was not his instruction that Tyrant Bear took people away. In fact, according to his original plan, it would be best to capture all the people to Impelton.

Even if Garp's grandson Luffy is among them, as long as he stays in Impelton for a while and finds a reason to report his disappearance to the World Government, he can release the kid.

But Tyrant Bear showed up halfway.

Tyrant Bear and his men have been in Marijoa since they arrived. In addition, he has a special identity, so Sengoku thought it might be an order from the World Government.

At that time, he was quite glad that Tyrant Bear just took the man away and didn't kill him. In this way, even if Xia Chen makes trouble, he has a reason to shirk responsibility. This is not cowardice. Everything must make way for the next war.

But he didn't expect Xia Chen's combat power to be so strong!

According to the reports of Aokiji and Kizaru in the later period, it takes at least two admiral-level combat power to contain Xia Chen, so he doesn't want to let Xia Chen join in now.

And this is just containment. If you want to defeat Xia Chen... I'm afraid that the three admirals of the navy will have to go together.

What a joke?

The strongest man in the world is obviously Whitebeard. Even when facing Whitebeard, according to his tactical arrangement, he did not let the three admirals join forces to continue the attack.

After all, Edward Newgate is just an old pirate with a serious illness!
