Sakaski's words shocked all the navy officers in the conference room.

As expected of the most resolute man in the navy, even when faced with something like this, Sakaski displayed traits consistent with his personality.

Whether it is to negotiate with the new navy represented by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, or to gather all the strength of the Navy Headquarters to attack Wan Guo.

No matter which of these two options the Navy Headquarters chooses, it is likely to bring disaster upon itself.

The Celestial Dragons would never allow the Marine Headquarters to compromise with the New Navy. Everyone present understood this because such a thing had happened once before.

Before Yoshiichi Tsugakuni disappeared, the new navy played a trick of "small players entering the big players" and tried to achieve comprehensive control over the headquarters of the navy. However, that plan also failed with Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's disappearance in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

After that, the Celestial Dragons, who had regained control of the Marine Headquarters, also carried out a major purge in the Marine Headquarters.

Some generals who leaned towards the new navy were cleared out of the headquarters of the navy. Perhaps only the top-notch people from the Borsalino faction, whose position is unclear, can continue to work in the headquarters of the navy.

And those dismissed sailors were not able to live a peaceful civilian life. Within just a few years, they encountered various accidents, either disappeared or died, and almost no one could be contacted.

Everyone understands that this is the consequence of betraying the Celestial Dragons.

No one knows what kind of trump card the Celestial Dragons, who have ruled the world for nearly 800 years, have. When Tsugakuni Yoshiichirō entered the Marine Headquarters, everyone thought that Tsugakuni Yoshiichirō had won, but the final result allowed the Celestial Dragons to make a comeback.

This time, Jigokuen is back with a vengeance, and the new navy is more powerful than ever.

But even so, no one dared to say that the new navy would definitely be able to defeat the Celestial Dragons.

Eight hundred years of heritage is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Sakaski, is there anything else you want to say?"

Even Sengoku didn't know which one to choose from the two options given by Sakaski. Even though he was known as a wise general, it was impossible for him to make an immediate decision on such a matter.

After pondering for a long time, Zhan Guo asked Sakaski.

Compared with Borsalino's one-sided stance, Sakaski's position is always more positive.

"Marshal, I think we must make decisions quickly."

"Four of the Five Elders have died at the hands of Yoriichi Tsugakuni. This is definitely a golden opportunity for the new navy."

"Tsugukuni Yoriichi and the Celestial Dragons are real enemies. He will never give up so easily."

"If my guess is correct, the new navy should have already started large-scale operations by now, preparing to attack the Holy Land."

"From our perspective, we must mobilize now and strengthen the defense of the Sabaody Archipelago."

"If you think we have other options, Marshal, I think we can ascend to the holy land together when Tsugakugo Yuichi takes action!"

Sakaski's words were shocking, and his words also caused gasps in the conference room. No one expected that Sakaski would be so bold as to say such words in such an occasion.

These words are more explicit than those of Borsalino before. If Borsalino is just a swing man with unclear position, then the second half of Sakaski's words are even more outrageous than those of Borsalino.

"General Sakaski, be careful with your words!"

At this point, even He couldn't help but let out a low growl as a reminder.

However, Sakaski remained calm and continued:
"Is not it?!"

"The conflict between the New Navy and the World Government has long been irreconcilable. For our Navy Headquarters, do we really have many options?"

"If our position is firm, then we should firmly stand by the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!"

"Knowing that Tsugakuni Yoriichi has killed the Celestial Dragons, we should do our utmost to strike the New Navy and Tsugakuni Yoriichi, even if it means death."

"But what about now?!"

"A large group of people gathered here to discuss how to deal with Yoriichi Tsugikuni and his new navy!"

"Doesn't this just show that our position is wavering?"

"Since there is no way to firmly support the World Government, then I will just stand on the side of the New Navy!"

"If you act like a fence-sitter, you will end up pleasing neither side. You will not be able to gain the full trust of the World Government, nor the New Navy."

"Do you think that after people like Tsugakuni Yoshiichi enter the Navy Headquarters, you wavering people will still be able to continue to sit in your current positions?"

At the end, Sakaski's voice became much louder, and his last sentence was a question to everyone present.

As Sakaski said, there is no way for the Navy Headquarters to maintain so-called neutrality in this matter.

If they really do that, after the outcome of the battle between the New Navy and the World Government is decided, none of them will be able to stay in their current positions.

Even if the other party's methods were more ruthless, these senior executives would probably have to be liquidated.

They have to choose sides and their naval headquarters has no way out.

Even though their naval headquarters still has several admiral-level strongmen in charge and can be considered a top force in the entire world, they are the relatively weaker party in the game between the new navy and the world government.

And
When Sakaski made these words clear at a high-level meeting, the time left for Zhan Guo to make a choice became even shorter.

Don't underestimate the Celestial Dragons. Even if their strength has been greatly reduced, they still have a lot of spies in the Marine Headquarters.

In this conference room, although no one showed anything unusual, Zhan Guo knew that after the meeting, everything said by everyone in the conference room would be known to the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land.

It would be fine if the headquarters had already made a decision before this, but if not, who knows what kind of tricks the Celestial Dragons will have waiting for them.

As Sakaski finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence.

Everyone has already anticipated the possible consequences, and everyone's face has become very ugly.

Borsalino was probably the only one who could remain relaxed.

His strength gave him confidence, and unlike others, he had already made his choice, so he didn't feel conflicted at all when facing this kind of problem.

Afterwards, several lieutenant generals expressed their opinions.

Some of them advocate standing firmly on the side of the world government, and hold up banners such as "the government represents justice" and "the twenty kings created the world", hoping that their ideas can gain more support.

However, there are also some people who, even after listening to Sakaski's words, still hope that the Navy Headquarters can "carefully" think about it. This is the so-called "delay" tactic. They should think carefully until the new navy takes action, and think carefully until the outcome of the battle between the new navy and the World Government is decided.

This group of people are aware that the Marine Headquarters is powerful, and believe that the Celestial Dragons will never do anything to harm their Marine Headquarters at this critical juncture, so they force the Marine Headquarters to the opposite side.

By the time the World Government and the New Navy decide the winner, generals of their age will probably have reached retirement age.
No matter who wins in the end, I'm afraid they won't be held accountable.

Among the people present, the younger ones are nearly 40 years old, and the older ones are in their sixties or seventies. They really don’t have to worry about what happens “after death”. Those troubles are for the young people who come after them, and they also believe in the wisdom of those who come after them.

In fact, it is impossible to reach a conclusion by discussing such an important matter at a meeting like this.

In fact, Zhan Guo was very clear about this in his heart.

But he still chose to hold a high-level meeting. The reason was actually very simple. He wanted to see the voices of different factions within the Navy Headquarters and the extent of the conflicts between them.

Judging from the course of the meeting, the voices of the hardcore supporters of the Celestial Dragons were clearly much weaker.

This result was more or less beyond the expectations of the Warring States period.

He had thought that after the purges in previous years, there would be more die-hard supporters of the Celestial Dragons, but what he had not expected was that when personal rights reached the level of a top lieutenant general, he would already be considered an institution builder.

Some of these people did rise to power by relying on the support of the Celestial Dragons, but after reaching this position, they would have their own ideas and would not be willing to continue to be vassals of the Celestial Dragons. No one would like to have a wild father above their head.

Celestial Dragons? Creators? Twenty Kings?
In the face of power, these things are meaningless.

Not to mention those powerful and influential generals, even if an ordinary person is given the slightest bit of power, he will "make good use of it".

This meeting lasted for several hours, from noon to evening.

However, apart from causing a quarrel between people from different factions, there was no substantial result.

However, Zhan Guo was not disappointed. After the meeting, he kept He and the two most senior admirals in the navy to discuss countermeasures in private.

Just as the navy's top brass were racking their brains over the future of the navy.

The young men of the Navy Headquarters were indeed training and living as usual.

Sabo and Ace, who had just returned from Fishman Island, got together, and Sabo enthusiastically talked to Ace about everything about Luffy.

From Luffy's beautiful pirate ship to Luffy's interesting partners, Ace will listen carefully as long as it is about Luffy.

This younger brother has long been one of the people that Ace and Sabo care about most in this world.

After the topic about Luffy ended, Sabo ignored Magellan's gag order and told Ace about the battle between Yoriichi Tsugakuni and the Five Elders that he saw on Fishman Island.

Ace was very excited when he heard that Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who had been missing for many years, had reappeared. However, when he heard that four of the Five Elders had died at the hands of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Ace's excitement subsided and he became worried instead.

He realized that the world was going to be in chaos.
Ace, who has received an orthodox education in the navy, is like his father, and can be said to have "the world in mind". However, Pirate King Roger chose to use a drastic method to break up the existing world, hoping that the people can wake up on their own.

He uses the great secret treasure to attract all the dreamers and ambitious people. As long as the great secret treasure is not found, countless people will pursue the truth of this world.

Ace, on the other hand, somewhat agrees with the ideas of Sengoku and others, and hopes that the world can be less turbulent.

Because any change will be accompanied by a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice.

In Ace's eyes, he knew that Yoriichi Tsugakuni was the one who wanted to break the existing order and create a new order.

Since his debut, Yuichiro Tsugakuni has directly or indirectly caused countless casualties.

Ace admires Yuichi Tsugakuni and is grateful for his cultivation of him, but this does not mean that he will approve of everything Yuichi Tsugakuni does.

Everyone who can awaken the Conqueror's Haki is a person with a strong sense of autonomy, and Ace is no exception.

"We must find a way to stop Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi from continuing his actions."

"If the World Government no longer exists, who will mediate conflicts between countries?!"

Listening to Sabo's story, the young and passionate Ace couldn't sit still. He hurriedly left the room and rushed towards Sengoku's office. Sabo wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so.

night.

Someone knocked on the door of Zhan Guo's office.

Ace pushed the door open and saw Zhan Guo, who was sitting behind the desk with a tired look on his face.

"Well?"

"Ace, why are you here so late and not sleeping?"

Zhan Guo's tone was gentle. When he was talking to Ace, he didn't speak like he was talking to other subordinates. Instead, his tone when talking to Ace was like he was talking to his own children or nephews, very friendly.

"Marshal, we must find a way to stop Tsugikoku Yoriichi's actions."

"If we don't do this, countless people will be affected by his actions."

As soon as he entered the door, Ace said urgently.

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Zhan Guo also uttered a sigh, looked up at Ace, and after a long while, he sighed softly:

"Has Sabo told you? That kid didn't take Magellan's orders seriously at all!"

"Don't ask too much about this matter. This is not something you should care about."

"You should train your subordinates well and prepare for the conquest of the new world!"

It was obvious that Zhan Guo had no way to fool Ace with such words, or rather, Ace was already past the age where he could be fooled with such words.

"How can it be something I shouldn't care about? This matter is closely related to all the navy, right?!"

"If we don't stop Tsugikuni Yoriichi, the Navy Headquarters will have a war with the New Navy. Doesn't this have anything to do with me?!"

"I'm not a marine anymore?!"

Ace's tone was fierce. Among all the young men in the navy, perhaps only the three brothers dared to speak to Sengoku in such a tone.

"Who told you that if we don't stop Yoriichi Tsugakuni, our navy will be at war with his new navy?!"

"We, the Navy Headquarters, have always stood on the side of justice."

"If the new navy claims to be righteous, why would they start a war with us?!"

Zhan Guo put his hands behind his back, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he asked slowly.

And his words also made Ace look stunned.

"What does this mean?!"

"What's going on?!"

Sengoku's attitude was obviously beyond Ace's expectations, and his brain circuits were somewhat insufficient.

"Ace, the struggles in this world will not disappear just because a certain force disappears."

"Similarly, the peace in this world does not exist because of the existence of a certain force."

"Whether it's the World Government or the New Navy."

"all the same."

“The difference is who holds the power.”

"Do you think it is better for ordinary people if the Celestial Dragons have the right to speak, or is it better for ordinary people if the new navy has the right to speak?"

"Our Navy Headquarters."

“I will stand on the side that is beneficial to ordinary people”

Zhan Guo's eyes were deep, and in front of Ace, he did not hide anything and revealed his feelings.

Multiple choice?!

No, ever since the day Garp, Sora and others died on the Island of Origin, Sengoku has completely stood on the opposite side of the Celestial Dragons!
