One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 912: General's Response

"A pirate wanted by pirates?"

Not long after Sakaski heard Ace's report, his sister Ekaterina also sent information. Both were about the same thing, all about Teach. After all, Whitebeard's bounty was a big deal, and the navy could not have done nothing. It's just that the reporting time at all levels was a bit slow. After all, not everyone could get through to the navy admiral directly like Ace.

"It's a bit troublesome. According to our current records, this person didn't do anything, so our wanted price can't be very high. But now the pirates are offering a reward of 200 million berries and have announced this guy's situation. If we set the price too low, people will find fault with us, but if it's too high, it won't comply with our regulations."

Kuzan, who was sitting opposite Sakaski, was even unwilling to take off his blindfold. He lazily lay in the recliner and spoke, but the problem he was talking about was indeed this problem.

"These pirates give us problems every day!"

Sakaski slapped the desk and said angrily while holding a cigar.

"Sniff, you're smoking a cigar again, aren't you afraid that Gion will say something about you?"

This time Kuzan took off the blindfold. Everyone knew that since Sakaski and Gion got married, Sakaski's habits had changed. For example, he smoked secretly and never smoked in a confined space. He also drank secretly. The feeling of drinking, chatting and gossiping all night long was gone forever.

"Humph, Gion isn't that kind of person."

When Sakaski heard Kuzan's words, his face turned gloomy. These guys always liked to tease him when they had nothing to do. Maybe this was the evil friend.

"Tsk, just brag. Alas, we are not from the same world. You are married and don't understand us singles. But speaking of which, are you sure you don't want Ace to come back? You know his identity. Although we have been hiding it, he is a member of the Whitebeard Pirates and has been there for many years. He may have seen what Roger looks like. Ace is now more and more like Roger back then. If he is exposed..."

"It's just good publicity to expose it. The son of the Pirate King is a marine. This further proves that the marines are righteous."

Sakaski didn't care about this at all. Ace's identity was no secret to the high-ranking naval officers. To them, Ace was not the son of the Pirate King. After all, he had never even seen his own father. The child had even expressed his hatred for the Age of Discovery more than once. When the child first learned of his identity, he was depressed for a long time and even ran to find Sengoku and others to surrender himself.

Fortunately, Zhan Guo and others were sensible. Sakaski beat Ace on the spot to punish him for his irresponsibility with his own life and for ignoring the feelings of those around him who cared about him, because he did not discuss this matter with anyone and it was entirely his own personal behavior.

Afterwards, with the guidance of many people, Ace finally got out of his dilemma, but now he hates the Age of Discovery even more, and expresses his desire to end this sinful era and let justice return to the sea.

Only the top navy officials knew about this, not the World Government. In fact, Kuzan's meaning was very clear. It was naturally not a big deal for them, the elders who had watched Ace grow up since he was a child, but if the old stubborn people in the World Government knew about this, it would probably be difficult to handle.

However, Sakaski doesn't care much about this. In fact, the Navy and the World Government have become more and more estranged in recent years. Now there are some organizations called Adventurer's Guild, Explorer's Guild, and Pioneer's Guild emerging on the sea, which can guarantee that people will not be considered pirates while sailing overseas. The driving force behind these unions is actually the Navy. While they are reducing the number of pirates in this way, they are also gradually dismantling the World Government's blockade of the entire world. It can be said that the Navy and the World Government are now only one step away from a formal break.

In fact, the World Government also understands this matter, but they can't say anything. Although they really want to change a knife now, because of the Four Emperors, they simply cannot cut off one of their own arms under such circumstances. They can only hold their noses and bear it, pretending not to see it, and continue to delay time, waiting for a certain adult to wake up. As long as that adult wakes up, everything will be fine!
"Okay, I don't understand these things, and I'm relying on you to worry about them. But here is another piece of very interesting information. Do you want to take a look?"

Kuzan said while looking at Sakaski.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, say it quickly."

Sakaski said dissatisfied.

"Just this morning, the base in the Sabaody Archipelago discovered a ship floating up from the water. It came from the New World. Guess who it is?" Kuzan didn't care about Sakaski's threats at all and continued to keep the suspense.

"New World, the ones coming down from the water are the second generation group of the Beasts?"

Sakaski is no pushover either. This much information is enough for him to guess the situation. If it was an unknown little pirate, Kuzan would definitely not say anything. If it was a big shot like the Four Emperors, he would definitely be notified at the first time. But in this situation it is obviously neither of them. So the biggest possibility is that there is only one, the second-generation small group called Yamato Squad.

"Bing Gou! That's right. The base commander of the Sabaody Archipelago reported to me and asked about the situation. I told them to ignore these people. As long as it's not the Celestial Dragons being beaten or a direct attack on the naval base, I will ignore them. Even if they demolish the Sabaody Archipelago, it doesn't matter."

Kuzan said, snapping his fingers.

"Hmm... It's the right choice. Although they are just a group of second-generations, their strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, the Four Emperors have the ability to quickly provide support. Avoiding conflict is the best choice at this stage."

Sakaski said after a moment of silence.

"I know. I'm not stupid. I know this kind of thing. But speaking of it, it seems that fewer and fewer Celestial Dragons are heading to the Sabaody Archipelago these days. It can even be said that fewer and fewer Celestial Dragons are leaving Marijoa."

Kuzan thought back to the past two years and said.

"Humph, I hope they never come out and die in Marijoa. The reason they don't come to the Sabaody Archipelago is very simple. The slave trade has been secretly cut off by us and the Four Emperors. Now the slave traders' ships can't even get close to the Sabaody Archipelago. They have lost the greatest fun. How could those guys go there for such a thankless job? Didn't you notice? Now that they have left Marijoa, they are almost heading straight to the Island of Joy. It seems that it has become a new slave trading market."

Sakaski said.

"So? Are you going to find someone to suppress it?"

Kuzan said.

"Hmph, we? No, we won't do anything, but we can let others do it. Didn't Vice Admiral Garp's grandson, your little apprentice, become a pirate? Let him go, let Ace and the others stop patrolling the four seas, go to the Grand Line, find the location of Straw Hat Luffy, and force him to the Island of Joy. I believe that with that kid's personality, he will not sit idly by."

Sakaski said with a sinister smile on his face.

"You... it seems like it might work. Given that kid's personality, if he knew about the slave auction, he would probably make a scene. But if we tell Vice Admiral Garp, will he also run over? If Vice Admiral Garp makes a scene again..."

Kuzan looked at Sakaski, the look in his eyes was self-evident.

"Hahahahaha! Interesting suggestion. But Kuzan, if Vice Admiral Garp knew that you tricked him, he would probably beat you up."

"How can this be called a scam? I'm helping an old man fulfill his dream of seeing his grandson, right?"

Suddenly, two sinister laughs were heard in the general's office.
