The period between the end of 1520 and the beginning of 1521 was destined to be turbulent.
Guan Liyuan was "forgotten", so many news did not reach his ears.
Not long ago, when the World Government was weak, the Navy was defeated and surrendered to the enemy, the Five Elders were forced to "re-activate" the General Marshal of the Army, Kong Gang.
Although Kong has always occupied the throne of the General Marshal of the Army, and his status in the World Government is second only to the Five Elders, after Roger was arrested, the World Government has been restricting Kong's power, especially in terms of military power, and will not allow him to contact the Navy if he can isolate him from the Navy.
Just like in the original work, as the General Marshal of the Army, Kong recommended Aokiji to be the Navy Marshal, but was also refuted very shamelessly...
However, this time, seeing that the situation was out of control, especially the emergence of the "real navy", the legitimacy of the World Government's exercise of power on the sea was greatly challenged.
And the performance of the Warring States was really unsatisfactory. Although there were people like Akainu who were loyal to the World Government at the local level, it was difficult for them to set things right.
Unfortunately, the eighteen countries on the continent were not completely united at this time, and even had conflicts. The "rebellion" that Kong led the new army to quell had the shadow of the eighteen countries' agents behind it...
and the World Government's army was not good at naval warfare, so in the end the Five Elders decided to reuse Steel Bone Kong.
After some exchanges of interests, Kong finally gave in and said that he had quelled the rebellion and pulled the new army back to the holy land of Marijoa, which is the center of the World Government's control of the sea!
And the navy was once again under the direct control of Marshal Kong...
Immediately before the new army went out to sea, Sengoku had already taken full advantage and recaptured Impel Down and Judicial Island. Garp could only defend the headquarters in Marinford.
It's not that Garp, the Governor of Marinford, is not strong, but there is a hard gap in the strength of the two sides.
Whether in terms of quantity or quality, the "real navy" is far inferior to Sengoku. Before, they were just stunned by a wave of attacks, and their morale was completely off. After the World Government appointed a large number of governors, the situation stabilized on the surface, and the navy led by Sengoku was repaired, this gap emerged.
After all, the real navy's manpower is just what Sengoku picked when he conquered the Road Protection Alliance! Moreover
, among the top masters, Sengoku's naval headquarters has an absolute advantage. Garp and Sengoku are evenly matched. Later, Sengoku has Admiral Aokiji, a candidate for admiral, and a string of vice admirals in the headquarters, while Garp has only a few vice admirals...
It is said that they will recapture Impel Down and Judicial Island, but in fact, Garp knows the gap in strength and dares not start a three-front war at all. He is only prepared to defend Marinford.
At the same time, they also asked for help from the "real navy" in various places. Some navies that changed to the flag of the real navy continued to gather...
However, these local navies not only had a passion and combat power that could not be compared with the headquarters, but also could not help the nearby fire.
There were also navies in the local area that still supported the original navy, such as Smoker, who was entrenched in the area of the Kingdom of Kalezi. Although he was suspected of taking advantage of the chaos to split the country, he wrote a letter to Sengoku to express his support, blocking many new navies who joined in the fun.
However, just when Marinford was about to collapse, the Dressrosa incident broke out. The situation at sea had gradually turned to the side of the revolutionary army, and Sengoku's offensive also stopped! Guan
Liyuan also had a secret report from the Anbu...
Sengoku's stop was not as simple as it seemed. In fact, Marshal Kong secretly ordered Sengoku to suspend the offensive. Sengoku was suspicious of Kong's order and sent a vice admiral to Marijoa, hoping that the Five Elders would give him the power to independently take charge of the recovery of Marinford. As a result, even that vice admiral was detained by Kong!
If it was a year ago, Sengoku could have completely ignored the weird orders of his old boss, killed first and then reported, and conquered Marinford first.
However, now in the Navy Headquarters, there are gradually voices of dissatisfaction with the World Government. After the Dressrosa incident, under the leadership of a certain Aokiji, the vice admirals began to work without effort, but Sengoku could still suppress it.
At this time, even Marshal Kong, who represented the World Government to hold the Navy hostage, said that he would stop. Sengoku still wanted to bypass Kong, and I am afraid that some of his subordinates would not agree.
You must know that Kong's order is not just a phone call, but Zefa came in person!
In terms of prestige in the Navy, Zefa is slightly lower than Sengoku, but it is limited. Sengoku wants to play dumb and continue to attack without any chance.
The Five Elders made a big mistake this time. If they believed in Sengoku more, Marinford might have been recaptured. Instead, it was difficult to reverse the situation after giving power to Kong...
Under the urging of the Five Elders, Kong's new army not only had no intention of going to sea, but secretly ordered Sengoku to temporarily retreat to Dongcang Island!
At this time, even the Sabaody Archipelago, which is near Marijoa, has begun to see the Revolutionary Army...
The maritime nations, from nobles to civilians, who originally hated the Celestial Dragons but were afraid of them, suddenly started to resist after the World Government fell behind!
Although Sengoku suspected that Sora and Garp had a private connection, otherwise he would not have received the order to retreat. The real navy began to hang around Impel Down and Judicial Island, but did not take the initiative to attack - it looked like I would wait for you to leave before entering.
But Sengoku was powerless at this time. More and more "navies" became "real navy", and the official order was to let him retreat. If he didn't leave, Sengoku was afraid that the last headquarters navy would also become "real navy"!
After the Dressrosa incident, Guan Liyuan just learned about the dilemma of Marinford a week later, and before the Revolutionary Army came back to help, the crisis of Marinford had been resolved, and Garp won the victory and regained Judicial Island and Impel Down.
A week ago, Guan Liyuan in Dressrosa learned the secret of the Celestial Dragons and told Dragon - because Guan Liyuan felt that this "secret" would greatly affect the next decision of the Revolutionary Army!
On January 19, 1521, including Guan Liyuan and Dragon, the ten most core cadres of the Revolutionary Army were discussing the impact of the Marinford incident and the secret of the Celestial Dragons on the future actions of the Revolutionary Army and how to drive the World Government out of the sea as soon as possible. At this time, a person who Guan Liyuan did not expect appeared in Dressrosa and asked to see Dragon...
"Rob Lucci? Isn't that the commander of CP9? What are you doing here to see Mr. Dragon?"
Kerla heard the news and muttered in confusion when she saw Sabo taking Lucci to the direction of the council in the former Dressrosa Palace - unfortunately, she was not considered a core cadre and did not attend the meeting at all.
Let alone Kerla, Guan Liyuan didn't know why Lucci came at this time, he only knew that he was definitely not representing the World Government!
Otherwise, with the level of information of the Anbu members in Marijoa, it is impossible that they didn't even get the news that Lucci was coming to Dressrosa in advance.
It can be seen that Lucci came here in a very secretive manner. If he represented the World Government, he would not be so hidden so deeply.
Facts have proved that Guan Liyuan's speculation was correct. Lucci was visiting the Revolutionary Army on behalf of Sora Ayaka, and his purpose was beyond Guan Liyuan's expectation. Sora Ayaka, as the commander-in-chief of the World Government, proposed to join forces with the Revolutionary Army to "persuade" the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons to give up their power over the sea and Marijoa and make a peaceful transition...
