Sakaski suddenly stood up and left, but no one in the office was affected at all.
Everyone knows Sakaski's personality, so it's not surprising that he would react like this.
He is a man with a distinct personality and stance, and he never hides his thoughts on people or things that he dislikes.
As the Admiral of the Navy, Sengoku actually made such a decision, which was a naked betrayal in Sakaski's eyes. Although Sakaski was full of dissatisfaction with the Celestial Dragons, he would never stand directly against the Celestial Dragons like Sengoku did.
He even became an assistant and accomplice of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
"Magellan, you go and take a look."
"You shouldn't continue to get involved in this matter."
Zhan Guo glanced at Magellan beside him, pointed at the office door, and spoke.
This was his own personal decision, and he didn't want to drag the other two admirals into it. Regardless of success or failure, he would inevitably lose his position as Grand Admiral. If he could successfully help Tsugikuni Yoshiichi eliminate the Celestial Dragons, then the Navy Headquarters would be merged with the New Navy. Neither willing nor unwilling, they would inevitably form a new leadership team using the New Navy's personnel as the backbone.
If Tsugumi Yoshiichi fails and the Celestial Dragons are still able to control the Marine Headquarters, the only one to be liquidated will be Sengoku.
Such a large naval headquarters cannot be without strong people guarding it. Sakaski and Magellan will definitely continue to be used by the Celestial Dragons. Even if the two of them participate, it is impossible to abandon such two powerful forces just because of speculation.
As for the position of Admiral of the Navy, it is likely to fall on Borsalino.
Because in the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, Borsalino seemed to be the most innocent of the three generals.
This is also the reason why Zhan Guo only called Magellan and Sakaski to the meeting, but did not call Borsalino. He had already arranged the entire plan and was just waiting for Ji Guoyuan to nod.
He has also entrusted the future of the navy entirely to young people like Borsalino, Ace, and Sabo.
Mesozoic Era, Cenozoic Era.
Sengoku believed that even without him, the Navy Headquarters would be able to continue to bring peace to the world under the leadership of these people.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's eyes never left Sengoku until Magellan and Borsalino left the office one after another. Then Yoriichi slowly withdrew his gaze, changed to a more comfortable posture, and leaned back on the sofa.
Tsugakuni Yoriichi has already seen Sengoku's determination.
In the end, he still underestimated the generation of Zhan Guo and others, thinking that these old guys would eventually become like Garp, with deep path dependence, and only want to maintain the current world order without seeking change.
But Zhan Guo's decision was beyond his expectations.
In fact, if it weren't for the deaths of Garp, Cyborg Sora and others, Sengoku would not have been stimulated to make such a change.
The reason why Zhan Guo gave up everything and made such a decision is actually because he was disheartened after witnessing the death of his comrades.
"Is it really okay to do this?!"
"I'm afraid your decision will affect Rocinante?" Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's tone was a little emotional, but the scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at Sengoku remained unchanged.
He believed that Zhan Guo was indeed determined to do so, but he had to be extremely cautious when dealing with the Celestial Dragons together.
Zhan Guo is not an "invincible" person in the strict sense. He has ties in this world, and his adopted son Rosinante is his concern.
When the crisis really comes, the Celestial Dragons will use any means. It is possible that they will control Rosinante and threaten Zhan Guo with his life.
When family members are held hostage, gentle people are often forced to submit.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni didn't want to have to deal with Sengoku's rebellion while fighting for his life.
Although with his current strength, Sengoku may not pose a fatal threat to him personally, but if the enemy is Im, Sengoku's help is likely to help Im and pose a threat to Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
The reason why he was so cautious in dealing with the Celestial Dragons was not because the Five Elders were so powerful, but because Im's ability was strong enough that a little help would allow Im to gain an advantage over Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
It is precisely because of this that Yoriichi Tsugikuni tried his best to clip Imu's wings.
This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yuichiro Tsugikuni. He must make use of everything he can while also eliminating unfavorable factors as much as possible.
"Rosinante?"
"Haha, he went out to sea with Luo a long time ago."
"Now even I don't know where they are."
"The world is so big, it's not that easy to find them."
"And there's one thing you don't have to worry about. Both Rosinante and Luo are very good. They won't become weapons for others to attack me."
"What's more, there are some situations you don't know yet."
"Rosinante is a Celestial Dragon family. The Celestial Dragons won't do anything to them."
It was obvious that Sengoku had prepared for this day, although there were many things in his words that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi disagreed with.
For example, Tsugukuni Yoshiichi totally disagreed with the statement "The Celestial Dragons won't do anything to them". He knew too well what kind of species the Celestial Dragons were. In front of Im and the Five Elders, a fake Celestial Dragon like Rossinante was simply a pawn that could be discarded at will.
Even the Five Elders are nothing in Im's eyes, let alone Rossinanti.
However, receiving such a reply from Sengoku was enough to make Tsugumi Yoshiichi feel relieved.
It’s good that Zhan Guo is prepared. Even if the Celestial Dragons want to capture Rosinante to threaten Zhan Guo, they probably won’t be able to react in a short time.
"I will go to the Holy Land tonight, Marshal Zhan Guo, if you want, please come with me."
Now that things have come to this, it is natural for Tsugikoku Yoshiichi to make a decision.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo nodded silently, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Zhan Guo didn't want to, nor could he, completely rely on Ji Guoyuan to avenge his old comrade. If he couldn't participate, it would be a regret for his whole life.
"Yuichi, me too."
When Zefa saw that Sengoku was actually going to the holy land with Tsugaru Yoshiichi, he also had some thoughts in his heart. On the one hand, he was worried about his disciple and wanted to provide some help to Tsugaru Yoshiichi. On the other hand, he had the same idea as Sengoku and wanted to overthrow the Celestial Dragons with his own hands.
But before he could finish his words, Yunyi gently placed his right hand on Zefa's shoulder and interrupted him:
"Teacher Zefa, please stay at the Marine Headquarters for the time being."
"Whether I can come back tonight or not, you must bring your 'wife and children' back to Wan Guo early tomorrow morning."
"I feel relieved that you are in charge of the overall situation in Wan Guo."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to go to the Holy Land with peace of mind."
Tsugikuni Yoriichi did not hide his purpose in front of Sengoku and Tsuru, and spoke directly.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, who had not participated in the discussion of this matter, suddenly spoke up: "Zefa, just do as Tsugikoku Yoriichi wishes."
"Tomorrow morning, I will bring people to take you to Wanguo."
A gleam flashed in He's eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"What?!"
"He you."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo's face suddenly changed. He actually didn't want to drag He into the quagmire.
Although He said that he would take people to send Zephyr away tomorrow, Zhan Guo understood that He's words actually had a hidden meaning. Once He left, he might never return to the Marine Headquarters.
In fact, it means defection.
However, going against the World Government involves huge risks, and people in Crane's position don't need to take such risks at all.
No matter what kind of turmoil occurs in the Marine Headquarters, as long as Crane does not openly participate and the World Government is still in power, Crane's position will not be shaken.
But if he defected, all the efforts of He in the first half of his life would be wasted.
"No need to say anything, I have made up my mind."
"My son and daughter-in-law died on the battlefield."
"They only left me one granddaughter."
"It's unfortunate that my granddaughter is now a new navy officer. She was originally just an undercover agent, but three years later, she no longer wants to come back."
"But it's fine this way. Since she doesn't want to come back, I'll go over there."
"I am already half buried in the earth, and I only have a few hopes left in this world."
He acted very calmly at this moment, and his words made Zhan Guo blush slightly, revealing a look of guilt.
He was the one who made the decision.
At night, dark clouds covered the sky, and there was no moon or stars to be seen.
The darkness of today seems deeper than ever before.
Zefa sat on the porch in front of his house, with a kerosene lamp lit at hand, the pale yellow light illuminating half of his body.
Zefa tilted his head back, looked at the sky with gloomy eyes and a worried look on his face.
"I don't know if that kid can succeed."
"Joey Boy the Savior"
"Are there really any prophecies in this world that will definitely come true?!"
"There might be people in the Holy Land who Yoriichi can't deal with, but can Luffy deal with them?!"
"If even Yunyi can't succeed, is there really anyone else who can?!"
Perhaps due to the rainy weather, Zefa's mood became a little uneasy at this time.
He silently prayed for his disciple in his heart, hoping that everything would go well for Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and that he would return safely.
New World, a certain sea area.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the calm sea, and the lights on the Sunny were bright.
Luffy, Chopper, Usopp and the others gathered on the deck. They sat on the soft lawn, singing happily with their arms around each other's shoulders. Beside them were some unfinished snacks and drinks.
Sanji was busy in the kitchen, but standing in front of the stove, he would look out the window from time to time to see the ladies who were watching the moon outside.
On a quiet and peaceful night, everyone on the Sunny was enjoying their current life. The feeling of living and traveling with their companions made them feel extremely safe and comfortable.
Wanguo, the new naval headquarters on Cake Island is brightly lit.
The rapid expansion of the new navy has turned the management of the headquarters into "oxen and horses" with no free time. Even at night, countless people are still working overtime at their posts.
But what supports them is not only the overtime pay, but also the dream of protecting world peace in their hearts.
Mihawk took a break from his busy schedule and sat on the lounge chair on the balcony, with his hands on his chest and his eyes closed. There was a half-full bottle of red wine on the small table next to him.
Compared to Yixiao who was still busy with paperwork at night, Mihawk was enjoying life.
Sometimes Mihawk also sighed in his heart, this guy Yunyi really doesn't regard Yixiao as a disabled person.
The red earth continent towers into the clouds.
The location of the holy land of Marinjoa is even above the clouds.
Unlike the gloomy sky that Marinford saw, there was a bright moon hanging high in the sky above Marinjoa, and brilliant stars stretched across the east and west.
It’s just a pity that the Tianlong people in the holy land are interested in everything, but the thing they are least interested in is the beautiful night view that can be seen every day.
Ordinary Tianlong people live a life of drunkenness and dreams. The stimulation brought by alcohol and sex is far stronger than the so-called beautiful scenery. The desires nurtured by power and violence are no longer attractive to natural scenery.
However, not all Tianlong people can enjoy the present moment so peacefully.
At the original site of Pangu City, there is only a tower several tens of meters high left. Compared with the magnificent Pangu City, this tower now looks so petite.
In a room in the building, Karin Sei, who had barely escaped from Tsugikuni Yoriichi's hands, was tossing and turning in bed.
Insomnia like this has been happening since he returned from Fishman Island.
Whenever Saint Galin closed his eyes, the deaths of Saint Satan and his men flashed before his eyes.
After becoming one of the Five Elder Stars, he and the other four Five Elder Stars possessed the ability to share perceptions. Garin Saint also saw the scenes that Satan Saint and others saw before they died, and he could also empathize with the fear in their hearts before they died.
And it is precisely because of this that Jialin Sheng always feels that his life is hanging on a rope that may break at any time.
Even he himself didn't know when the rope would break and his life would come to an abrupt end.
The longer you live, the deeper your attachment to this beautiful world becomes, and the stronger your fear of death becomes.
Jialin Sheng prides himself on being a man of strong mind, but these days the fear of death has been lingering in his mind and has not been able to dispel it for a long time.
After learning that several other Five Elders died on Fishman Island, Im did not show much emotional fluctuation. He was only slightly surprised to learn that Yoriichi Tsugikuni did not die in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
To her, the death of the Five Elders was just the loss of a few insignificant chess pieces.
Jialin Sheng also remembered Yim's indifference firmly in his heart.
It was not until now that Garin Sheng understood that the so-called high and mighty Five Elders were nothing in the eyes of people like Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Im.
This sense of status disconnect also troubled Jialin Sheng and exacerbated his anxiety.
