Headquarters, Conference Room.
During the Warring States period, three generals and a crane sat down at a long table.
"That damn Garp! He just quit like that, he didn't even come to the meeting!"
The Warring States period shouted angrily.
"Let's be lenient with this old man who has lost his grandson," He said slowly.
These words saddened Sengoku for a moment. He thought of the young man with blond hair and a cheerful smile, the one he had treated like an adopted son, who had died somewhere.
Sengoku sighed, rallied his spirits, and said, "Let's have a meeting then. Pirates are rampant all over the world right now. That damned Newgate, he couldn't even give us a break before he died."
The headquarters didn't suffer much damage, but Whitebeard's dying words still caused the number of pirates around the world to double again.
Akainu's fist erupted with a fiery red heat as he said in a deep voice, "It should have been over by now, those pirates..."
"Don't say such foolish things, Sakazuki. We should face reality. There are just too many unexpected events right now, and headquarters' forces are already insufficient."
Sengoku distributed the documents to several people and said, "Take a look at the terrible things these pirates have done."
The document above lists some of the crimes committed by pirates in various places, including but not limited to plundering towns, attacking the navy, and challenging the world government.
The situation is somewhat better on the Grand Line, since the headquarters is located there. However, the problems in the four seas are becoming increasingly serious, especially in the West Blue and the North Blue, because they can only be reached from the other end of the Grand Line, the New World, which makes support very untimely.
In addition, the local customs of the North Sea and West Sea are much more fierce than those of the East Sea and South Sea, and the pirates who come from there are basically a headache.
"Ever since Monkey D. Luffy, more and more people have started to take pride in challenging the World Government, it's really..."
The Warring States period was marked by a painful facepalm.
He's retiring, he's retiring!
In the end, we still have to deal with this mess.
"That's really scary." Kizaru looked at the document with a surprised expression.
"Oh dear, there are too many of them, this is so troublesome." Aokiji scratched his head.
"They must all be wiped out!" Akainu's voice was filled with anger.
"I brought you here so you could manage your own forces. Borsalino, wasn't Kuro going to the West Blue? Let him go. The West Blue and North Blue are rather troublesome places, so having someone guard them would be good," Sengoku said.
“That’s right, sending Kuro over is no problem,” Kizaru said.
"I also want to mention someone."
Kuzan raised his hand and said, "Smoker wants to go to G-5."
Sengoku thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "G-5, huh? Sure, it's time to let these new generation members get some experience."
Then, everyone turned their attention to Akainu.
Akainu was silent for a moment, then said, "I have nothing to recommend."
Yes, there are some, but compared to Crossmog, the ones he can recommend aren't very famous.
I simply won't recommend it.
Who wouldn't want a high-quality subordinate?
Borusalino has Kuro.
Kuzan has Smoker.
Tsuru has Tina.
Warring States Period...
The Warring States period was a marshal; he didn't need one.
As for Sakazuki, he has many subordinates, but most of the capable ones are lieutenant generals. The new generation doesn't really have anyone worth mentioning.
I must become a marshal!
However, aside from the likes of Kuro and Smoker, he could get involved with the rest of the Marines because their quality was roughly the same, making it easy for them to be assigned to different seas for deployment. Those with more fame would go to the North Blue and West Blue, while those with less fame or insufficient strength would go to the East Blue and South Blue.
"As for this Kuro..."
After distributing all the documents, Sengoku looked at Kuro's information, then at the documents in the Western Sea, and finally pulled out a document, pointed to it, and said, "This is it, the Twin Horse Kingdom."
"The Kingdom of Two Horses?"
Aokiji was taken aback. "I've heard that there's a war going on there. The enemy country is not a member of the World Government. After a third of its territory was destroyed, it was then occupied by the pirate alliance. It's a very troublesome place."
"If it's not too much trouble, I'll just give it to him."
Crane said from the side, "The ordinary navy can't solve the problem in that place. He's the only one with a suitable position right now. Let's give him some responsibility. If he doesn't understand what command and control means, he won't be promoted."
“That’s right, we should give him some responsibilities, otherwise he’s likely to cause trouble if he’s idle.”
Sengoku looked at Kizaru and said, "What do you think, Borsalino?"
"No, I have no objection. Kuro asked me to apply to go to the West Blue, and as for where in the West Blue, it's fine with me," Kizaru said with a smile.
"Too lenient, Borsalino."
Akainu said, "As a powerful individual, Lucilfer Kuro should be given more trials so that he can grow into a qualified Marine who can handle all aspects of a role."
"Taking on all fronts? That's really scary." Kizaru scratched his head.
"However, the Twin Horse Kingdom is also acceptable."
Akainu said, "It's Pegasus Island, right? According to reports, there are quite a few pirates there. Sending Kuro there would be suitable. That place is also close to Reverse Mountain, which can effectively contain the pirates."
In Akainu's eyes, Lucilfer Kuro showed no mercy to pirates. That's why he always liked Kuro. If Kuro went there, the environment in the West Blue would definitely improve significantly.
"Then it's decided... Sakazuki, you went after Blackbeard last time, right? Did you fight him?"
