Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 298 Good face

"The Overlord of the East Sea——Hegonglaongman D. Mok?!"

Navy Headquarters, in the Admiral's Office.

Looking at the news in his hand, Marshal Zhan Guo was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "What is this guy doing in the East China Sea again?"

He had just attacked the recruiting point of the Navy Headquarters some time ago, and his good brother was thrown into prison. How could he still have the mood to run back to the East China Sea now?

Could it be some conspiracy or plan?
Speaking of which, this overlord of the East China Sea seems to like staying in the East China Sea very much!

It took it nearly ten years in the East China Sea before it entered the Grand Line, and it went in and out the first two times. But when it finally began to conquer the Grand Line, it quickly broke into the New World, faster than the supernova Portgas D. Ace back then, and it also brought huge trouble to the World Government and the Navy Headquarters!
Blackfoot did say that these two guys were half brothers. To be honest, if he didn't know what kind of person Roger was, he would have believed the lies of Blackfoot.

"Whitebeard really found a terrible son!" Zhan Guo smiled sarcastically, shook his head and said, "He can tell any lie to survive, and even betrayed Whitebeard and the brothers who came to save him! If Whitebeard knew, would he regret saving this rebellious son? As expected...pirates are all a bunch of scum!"

There was a hint of emotion amidst the sarcasm.

Son... made him think of the child he had back then. What a pity! What a good child!
I wonder if that kid will regret it when he sees that the kid he protected back then has now become a pirate?
Come to think of it, that devil fruit was also obtained by a terrible pirate!

In an instant, he couldn't help but... all kinds of annoying things flooded into his mind, making Zhan Guo's eyes red. He took off his glasses, pinched his nose, and then quickly recovered.

But when he saw Garp sitting on the sofa, playing with the armored Den Den Mushi invented by the East China Sea Navy and eating snacks, he felt annoyed again, "Can you please stop coming to my office to eat food all the time?"

"Because I've finished my snacks."

"Asshole, am I asking you why you came to my office?" Zhan Guo raised his eyelids, but still calmed himself down. He frowned again, pondered for a moment, and said, "Why do you think the overlord of the East China Sea keeps going back to the East China Sea?"

"Who knows? Ahahaha, maybe we can go to Red Romance!"

"Can you be more serious?!" Looking at Garp who was talking nonsense without even thinking, Sengoku raised his eyebrows again and said in a suspicious tone, "Did Roger arrange something in the East China Sea? If not, why would an ambitious pirate who obviously has the ability to enter the Grand Line stay in the East China Sea? Why did he go back to the East China Sea again and again?"

Then, he looked up at Garp, who seemed not to care about what he said, and said seriously, "What did Roger tell you back then?"

"Ahahaha, don't you know?" Facing Sengoku's question, Garp still didn't care at all, and said cheerfully, "Didn't that guy just ask me to help take care of his son?"

"No more? Garp, I hope you are clear about your identity. The ocean is entering a critical moment now. If you have any intelligence, as a friend of many years, I still hope you can tell me!"

"Oh, there is indeed more!"

"What is it?"

"He also asked me to take good care of his beautiful young wife. What a pity!"

"..." Hearing Garp's words, the expectant Sengoku twitched his lips, sat back, sighed, and ignored the unreliable guy. He crossed his hands in front of his chin, frowned again, and muttered to himself, "What on earth is the East China Sea Overlord going to do in the East China Sea this time?"

Unfortunately, with the development of the so-called East China Sea Navy, the Navy Headquarters' control over the East China Sea has gradually decreased during this period. And according to reports from the only remaining branch navy in the East China Sea, the East China Sea Navy seems to have begun to advance into the other half of the East China Sea.

Taking the waters surrounding the Kingdom of Goa as the dividing line, the East China Sea Navy originally only occupied the waters behind the Kingdom of Goa. But now it has begun to set its sights on another sea area?

It was just as they had guessed.

What an ambitious guy!
only.

Although the East China Sea Navy has not yet taken action against the East China Sea branch, it is time to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Especially since there is a Kingdom on the Bridge (Workers' Kingdom) in another sea area, which has been arranged by the World Government for hundreds of years. Moreover, that sea area is close to the red earth continent of Marijoa. We absolutely cannot let that sea area fall into the hands of the East China Sea Navy.

As if he remembered something, he looked at Garp and said, "Speaking of which, how is the Pirates' Union set up by the East China Sea Navy going? I calculated the time... The first batch of certified pirates should be graduating soon!"

Speaking of this, Zhan Guo couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Let the pirates verify it?

I really don't understand what that guy wants to do?
Is this just wishful thinking?
In the face of Sengoku's question, Garp still didn't raise his head and said casually, "Pirates' Guild? What is that? Oh, I remember it, what's the matter?"

"Forget it, it's nothing, just have fun by yourself!" Zhan Guo said with a headache.

That’s right, what do I expect from this old guy?
After thinking for a while, he picked up the Den Den Mushi beside him, made a call directly, and said, "Has Colonel Smoker sent back any information about the Pirates' Union during this period?"

"Yes! That's right, the ones from the East Sea! Oh, yes! Have the first batch of students graduated? Did three pirate groups escape from Colonel Smoker?"

"The three: the Kurokun Pirates, the Gini Pirates, and the Taimei Pirates? How strong are their captains, and who are their main crew members?"

"That strength sounds ordinary! Are you kidding me? This is the only pirate that could escape from under the nose of that brat Smoker? Was it just carelessness that allowed those three pirate groups to enter the Grand Line?"

"Okay, I'll go ask in person!"

"dududu~"

As the Den Den Mushi was hung up, Marshal Sengoku frowned again, as if he was thinking about something, then picked up another Den Den Mushi and dialed another number!
Colonel Smoker's Den Den Mushi number!
Due to the emergence of the East China Sea rebels, although the Navy Headquarters is temporarily unable to deal with the East China Sea Navy due to the chaos in the sea, the Navy Headquarters also attaches great importance to the situation in the East China Sea.

Therefore, he specifically ordered Colonel Smoker, who was stationed at the important gateway into the Grand Line in the East China Sea, to keep a close eye on it, and also specifically granted him the right to report directly to the Admiral and the Marshal of the Navy if anything major happened. After a while, the Den Den Mushi was connected.

But before Zhan Guo could speak, the Den Den Mushi with a bandage on his face gasped, "Hiss, what are you doing here? Get out of here! I'm fine!"

Then he seemed to react and said impatiently, "Hello? Who? If you have nothing else to say, I'm hanging up!"

"…I, Sengoku!"

"Marshal Sengoku?" The bandaged Den Den Mushi was stunned for a moment, then he became a little more serious and asked, "What's the next mission?"

"Nothing, are you... injured? It looks like it's serious?"

"..."

"I didn't expect that three rookie pirate captains who had only practiced for two and a half years could cause you such serious injuries?" Seeing Smoker fall silent, Sengoku knew that he had guessed right. With a sigh and melancholy tone, he said, "Is there going to be another bad guy in the East China Sea?"

As he spoke, he looked at Smoker who was still silent, shook his head, and his tone became serious.

"Colonel Smoker, the Marine Headquarters is very disappointed in you this time! Of course, it's not because you let the three pirate groups enter the Grand Line, but because you...actually weakened the other party's strength for the sake of your own face. If I hadn't called to ask, I guess you really concealed the truth from the Marine Headquarters and didn't pay attention to those three pirate groups!"

The tone of his voice changed again, becoming earnest and earnest.

"Colonel Smoker, I remember you weren't like this before. To be honest, the Navy Headquarters attaches great importance to you. I hope you can think about it carefully!"

"???"

What are you thinking about?

But before the bandaged and confused Smoker Den Den Mushi could say anything.

"Dudu!"

The Den Den Mushi was hung up by Sengoku again, and then he shook his head with a melancholy look on his face, "It's only been a few years, and Smoker...how come he seems to have changed! Is the naval environment in the East China Sea really that bad?"

……

And at this time.

the other side.

Just as Smoker was staring at the Den Den Mushi in his hand in a daze and was about to say something.

"You can't stand this little injury? Didn't you say you've improved a lot during this period?" At the door... Teacher Zefa walked in with a serious face, "Smoker... I remember you weren't so concerned about your reputation before!"

"..."

Who has good face?!

If that bastard hadn't exposed his weakness, he would have captured those pirates long ago.

But before Smoker could say anything, he looked very unhappy.

"You're still upset! You think it's because your weakness has been exposed!" Zefa saw what Smoker was thinking at a glance, shook his head and said, "But after so many years... Don't you know this weakness yourself? Or do you think it will never be discovered?"

He looked at Smoker earnestly.

"Although I am no longer an instructor at the Marine Headquarters, as your former teacher... I still hope that you can grow up well and work hard to overcome your weaknesses! Even if you want to hide, you can't do it this way. You have to learn from that brat. Until now, I still don't know what his weakness is. In order to hide himself, that brat even created a female pirate to conceal it!"

Smile.

"What a cunning boy! Think about it carefully! I believe this will be a good lesson for you!"

The words fell.

Smoker: ...

Also fell silent.

I have to say, this is indeed a good lesson!
It's so embarrassing!

Then he said impatiently, "I know!"

"Well, I've beaten him up and taught him a lesson. I won't say anything more." Zephyr looked at Smoker curiously and said, "What does that old fellow Sengoku want you to do? Of course, if it's a secret of the Navy Headquarters, it would go against your justice if you tell it to others. It's okay if you don't tell me!"

"Nothing!" After hearing what Mr. Zefa said, Smoker raised his bandaged head, looked at Mr. Zefa with a dim gaze, and said, "Just like you, you said that I am a bit too proud!"

"???"
