One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 481 Questioning
“Knock, knock, knock” “Come in!”

With the sound of the door opening, Sakaski walked into Sengoku's office with a gloomy face, and Gion followed closely behind him, but her face was not gloomy. On the contrary, she was full of satisfaction and couldn't help licking the corner of her mouth, as if she was savoring something, and her eyes were even a little blurred.

"Sakaski? How come you have time to come to my place and Gion?"

Zhan Guo raised his head from a pile of documents, because no one knew when Marshal Kong would be ready to leave. As the only candidate for marshal, Zhan Guo had already been designated as the next marshal. So, Kong always threw a lot of work that was supposed to be done by him to Zhan Guo, on the grounds that you were the future marshal and needed to adapt to the identity and responsibilities of the marshal, and then he went to slack off. As a result, the lights in Zhan Guo's general office were on every night. Many people doubted whether Zhan Guo could hold on until the day he succeeded the marshal, or die suddenly before his time.

"General Sengoku, I need an explanation."

Sakaski walked to the desk and stared at Zhan Guo. His voice was calm, as if he was just asking a small question, but the anger in his eyes was visible to everyone.

"Explain? What?"

Zhan Guo raised his head in surprise and adjusted his glasses. Sakaski was the most rule-abiding person among the three generals who were designated as the next generals. He always acted within the scope of the rules and never did anything that was not allowed or offensive. (You just didn't see it.) But what happened today? If it was Kuzan or Borsalino who asked the superior about this, it would be acceptable. Why did Sakaski do this?

"Commercial Street, Baique Department Store, I think General Zhan Guo should know what I'm talking about, right?"

Sakaski still explained with a gloomy face, and at this time, Gion had already run to the sofa next to her and sat down. She was indeed a little "full" at noon, and she needed to rest. Anyway, with Sakaski here, she would definitely be able to find out the situation, so why should she bother? Just watch the show.

"Oh, you mean that? There's nothing we can do. Baique was selected through normal bidding. We can't stop it. After all, the bidding unit was the World Government. Of course, you can rest assured that according to the agreement, Baique only supplies goods and collects money. All employees must be local people from the Navy Headquarters, that is, the families of officers. We won't let them do anything wrong."

Zhan Guo put down his pen, picked up the glasses cloth beside him, took off his glasses and wiped them gently while speaking. As he spoke, he looked into Sakaski's eyes. Sakaski did not see any evasion or hesitation here.

"But they are pirates."

The anger in Sakaski's heart had been half extinguished by Zhan Guo, but the remaining flame still made him say this. This is Sakaski's character.

"I know, you know, and the people above know, but so what? Sakaski, those guys don't care about pirates or not, as long as they can bring them benefits. As for who provides these benefits, they don't care at all. I can also tell you one thing, those guys are even planning to create a legal pirate, a legal pirate recognized by the World Government. If it weren't for the fact that there are not many suitable candidates, they might have already implemented it. Don't tell anyone about this, Marshal Kong told me this in secret."

Zhan Guo sighed a little tiredly. Which navy officer didn't join for justice at first? But the higher you climb, the further you find yourself from justice. For example, didn't Marshal Kong stop the Hundred Sparrow Department Store this time? But the World Government didn't listen at all. They only saw their own interests. Even the fact that they couldn't let the people of the Hundred Sparrow Department Store run it was Marshal Kong who argued for it. At the beginning, they really planned to let the people of the Hundred Sparrow Department Store come and go freely in the Navy Headquarters. This was simply the stupidest thing in the world.

"Legal pirates! How dare they!"

This time it wasn't just Sakaski. Gion, who was just squinting his eyes to savor the moment, couldn't help it either. He jumped up from the sofa, rushed to Sengoku's desk, slapped the table and yelled. The documents around him began to fly around with Gion's movements, making Sengoku anxious to get the documents back before they fell to the ground. Once they fell to the ground, his goat would think they were edible and eat them all.

"I told you, this thing didn't work out, don't get so excited, the World Government guys don't consider us when they do things, they will always only consider their own interests, I can't guarantee that they won't have sudden ideas in the future, I'm just reminding you so that you can be mentally prepared, Sakaski, you've already experienced it once, right?"

Zhan Guo's words instantly deflated Sakaski, and a gloomy atmosphere enveloped Sakaski. Yes, he already understood what kind of bastards those guys were. Why should he still have illusions about them?

"Are you okay, Sakaski?" Seeing Sakaski suddenly become gloomy, Gion patted Sakaski's shoulder with some concern. This time, she did not use the usual teasing name. In Gion's eyes, Sakaski's expression at this time was like a wounded big dog, which made Gion feel a little distressed, although she didn't know what Sakaski was sad about.

"I'm fine, those things are in the past, and I won't dwell on the past."

Sakaski shook his head and said nothing more. His complexion looked better and he seemed to have recovered. However, Gion was still a little worried and began to consider whether he should contact Ekaterina in the evening to ask about it.

"By the way, why are you two here together? Could it be that..."

At this time, Zhan Guo was looking at the two of them with a smirk on his face, his tone full of ridicule. It was simply the most magical thing in the world that a woman could be so close to Sakaski, and this person was neither Ekaterina nor an enemy!
"Ah, Big Red Dog bought me lunch because I did him a favor."

Gion smiled and turned back, with an almost perfect smile on her face, but her words did not dispel Sengoku's curiosity but made him even more surprised.

"Big Red Dog? What's that name? Wait, Akainu? Pfft—"

Zhan Guo was stunned for a moment, but as a wise general, he reacted quickly. Then, he covered his mouth as quickly as possible, trying his best not to laugh out loud. He didn't want Sakaski to get impatient and burn all his documents. After all, he had less work to do today and he was almost done. He would be able to have a good sleep soon. If he let Sakaski come, all his work would be in vain.

"Hmph." Sakaski had a cold face and squeezed out a sound from his nose. Then he turned around and left without looking back. Although it seemed nothing happened on the surface, it could be seen from his slightly hurried footsteps that Sakaski was definitely not as calm as he looked. He almost ran away.

"Hahahahahahaha!" The moment Sakaski went out, Sengoku couldn't help it anymore and started laughing wildly. This name was so funny, the Big Red Dog, Gion was definitely a genius.

"Okay, calm down, General Sengoku." Gion looked at Sengoku speechlessly. She had just said that to ease Sakaski's mood, but is it really okay for you to laugh so unscrupulously?
“Hahahaha, okay, cough cough, hahahaha, okay, I won’t laugh anymore, phut.”

Zhan Guo tried very hard to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't help it and chuckled from time to time.

"Forget it, I have no right to interfere with you, General. But General Sengoku, can you tell me what happened to Sakaski that you just mentioned?"

Gion held her forehead helplessly. She had expected these dishonest behaviors of the high-ranking navy officers. She was not in the mood to care about it at the moment. Another thing made her even more curious.

"Um, you're talking about this. Sorry, I promised Sakaski that I can't tell anyone about this unless he asks for it. But Gion, have you really thought it through?" Gion's words finally made Sengoku stop smiling. He pursed his lips, but in the end he didn't tell Gion.

"What, is it not possible? Sakaski is very handsome, isn't he? I like tough guys like him." Gion slammed the table, looking very heroic, but a blush still appeared on his face.

"Okay, of course, I don't care about that, but does He know?"
