Chapter 129: Questioning the crime!
The sudden appearance of the World Government's ships on the sea attracted the attention of the navy, who were busy at the port. After the news of the World Government's ships' arrival was reported to the navy level by level, it reached the ears of Admiral Sengoku.
At that time, Sengoku was discussing with Garp in the office behind the main ship about pursuing the Roger Pirates. The two high-ranking navy officers had a big disagreement on whether to continue pursuing the Roger Pirates.
According to Garp's intention, they should not continue to pursue the Roger Pirates. Garp took into consideration that the Roger Pirates had not done anything too outrageous in the past. The Navy's spending a lot of manpower to hunt down such a powerful pirate group would not be of any substantial help to the Navy in maintaining peace on the sea.
In Garp's eyes, attacking some "corrupted" nobles was not a heinous crime. At best, it could only be regarded as "eliminating harm for the people."
However, Sengoku has more things to consider than Garp. The title of Pirate King has now become the "flag" that pirates pursue. If their navy captures Roger, the Pirate King, at this time, it will be able to greatly curb the pirates' arrogance.
Over the years, the deeds of those great pirates have been frequently exposed through the "unrestrained" media, and more and more people have begun to yearn for the pirate life that drapes the banner of "freedom" and relies on plundering to get rich.
Sengoku feels that if the Roger Pirates can be crushed, the worldwide impact will be immeasurable. It will at least make some people who have "pirate" fantasies realize that even if they go out to sea and become pirates, they cannot act recklessly and will still be punished by "justice."
While Sengoku and Garp were arguing, a subordinate knocked on the office door. After being allowed into the office, he reported to Sengoku and Garp the news that the World Government's ships had arrived at Suishen Island.
"A World Government ship?!"
"The war just ended, and you're already so impatient to jump out!"
"It seems that they are well-informed. Nothing that happens on Shuixian Star Island escapes their eyes."
After hearing the news reported by his subordinates, Garp sneered and said with a tone full of contempt.
In this ocean, the official forces are composed of many aspects. The most important leadership role is played by the World Government, a large organization led by the Celestial Dragons and jointly established by hundreds of countries in the world.
Under the World Government, there are two military agencies.
One is a CP intelligence agency directly led by the Celestial Dragons, which is responsible for a series of tasks required by the Celestial Dragons, such as spying, assassination, and protection.
The other is the Navy, a righteous organization that fights against pirates and other evil forces. The Navy's top leader is Admiral Kong.
On the surface, the Navy is an institution parallel to the World Government, but in reality, the Navy is also controlled by the World Government. In many cases, the Navy's status is even lower than that of the CP's intelligence officers.
As vicious dogs in the hands of the Celestial Dragons, the CP is more capable of implementing the will of the Celestial Dragons. However, the Navy, due to its overly dispersed personnel and diverse ways of recruiting personnel, is not as useful as the CP in executing orders.
For the Tianlong people, a useful dog naturally has a high status.
The relationship between the Navy and the CP faction is equivalent to that between the police and spies.
This time, the encirclement and suppression operation against Roger's pirate group was planned by the World Government. The main combat force was the navy, and the CP people were responsible for assisting.
However, from the beginning to the end of the war, the navy did not receive any help from the CP intelligence officers. They, the navy, were the "first bird to stick their head out" and bore the direct wrath of the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.
Therefore, Garp had nothing good to say about the World Government, which did not appear until the end of the war.
"That's only natural. How could an intelligence agency directly under the World Government have poor intelligence capabilities?"
"Let's go and see what 'instructions' those people have for Shuixianxing Island."
As Zhan Guo said this, he stood up from his seat and went to the deck with Garp.
In the time it took the two of them to walk out of the office, the World Government's ship had already entered the port.
This is a giant snow-white warship, but calling it a warship is not accurate enough because this ship is too new and luxurious compared to warships specially used for combat.
At this time, the naval warships docked in the port, regardless of the extent of damage, had obvious signs of seawater erosion on their hulls.
There is a noticeable color difference between the hull above and below the waterline.
But the World Government's warships that entered the port at this time were a little different. They were snow-white all over, with no signs of seawater erosion at all. Even the hull of the ship was as bright as new, and could even reflect dazzling light under the sunlight.
"Yo, new ship."
"Look at this snow-white ship! It's not even on the same level as our navy's ships!"
Garp and Sengoku had already walked onto the deck. Garp leaned on the railing with both hands, looked at the approaching shuttle, and said with a smile.
There was a lot of sarcasm in his tone.
Zhan Guo did not respond, but silently watched the World Government ship that stopped beside his warship.
After the ship stopped, a black shadow suddenly flashed on the opposite deck, and four people flew out of the deck and flew towards the warship where Sengoku and Garp were.
"Da da da da."
After a few soft sounds, four people landed on the deck and stood not far behind Sengoku and Garp.
"CP0?"
Zhan Guo turned his head slightly, saw the clothes of the person coming, and recognized his identity.
The four people who boarded the boat were dressed in white. Even though it was summer, they were all covered in white cloaks. Furthermore, they all wore masks of various shapes, covering their faces.
The leader had a mask on his face that was half crying and half smiling, which was extremely weird.
"General Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp."
"Nice to meet you, please take care of me."
The CP0 wearing a mask of laughter and tears took off his hat while speaking, and bowed slightly to Zhan Guo and Garp, greeting them. When he bowed to Garp and Zhan Guo, the three CP0s behind him also took off their hats and bowed slightly.
Although it is an intelligence agency affiliated with the World Government, it now acts like an aristocrat.
"What's going on?" Karp looked at CP0 in front of him with a puzzled look, and began to wonder in his heart.
"Yeah!" Zhan Guo also nodded slightly, stood there and accepted the other party's greeting, waiting for the other party's next words.
CP0 didn't come to Shuixianxing Island just to pay him a visit, did they?!
"General Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp."
"I heard that the two crew members of the Roger Pirates captured by your navy were rescued by Roger and his men?"
"Not only that, the Roger Pirates escaped unscathed from your navy."
"I know the navy must be under tremendous pressure facing both the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates at the same time."
"But there's one thing I don't understand. Since they've successfully lured Roger to the island, why didn't the navy immediately execute the two pirates they captured? Instead, they waited for Roger's pirate group to come and rescue them."
"I understand the Navy's failure, but could you two help me answer this question?"
"We came to Shuixianxing Island this time to investigate this matter!"
As they spoke, Garp and Sengoku looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
CP0, seems to be here to call for an explanation?
Just because of CP0?
"You two, we, CP0, need to take those marines guarding the prison away for investigation."
After the leading CP0 finished speaking, he looked at Garp and Sengoku.
"hehe."
"I am the one guarding the prison!"
Garp sneered twice, folded his arms across his chest, raised his chin slightly, and replied arrogantly. His words suddenly made the atmosphere on the deck extremely depressing.
