Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 328: Headquarters is shocked! (14)

The plan executors were in place, but bigger problems followed.

As Smoker established the "Integrity Act of the Navy's East China Sea Branch" under Ron's name and the privileged agency "ICAC" was established in Rogue Town, the flying squirrel, who had been resting peacefully and training Tashigi in the past few days, immediately came to the door angrily.

"Ron, do you know what you are doing?!"

"Don't get excited, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel. Who made you angry?"

Ron was not surprised by the flying squirrel's reaction. He walked over with a smile and served tea and water.

"Hmph! Stop talking to me like that!"

The flying squirrel took the tea and said angrily: "Why didn't you discuss this with me? You know that based on what you did now, I can report you to the Marshal and send you to Judicial Island for trial!"

As the prosecutor of the headquarters responsible for inspecting the East China Sea branch, Ron does have great power, but it is not so great that he can bypass Flying Squirrel and Sengoku to set up a new organization without authorization.

This is a naked power grab!

If the Flying Squirrel didn't trust Ron, he would have labeled Ron a traitor without hesitation, and would have brought him to justice even if he knew he couldn't win!
"It's not that serious, Admiral Flying Squirrel. This is just an attempt. If it doesn't work, you can cancel it at any time."

Ron was not angry, he was even a little touched.

It was impossible to make the pedantic flying squirrel accept this matter immediately. Now he only came to him to ask for an explanation because of their past friendship. Otherwise, he could really do as he said and send Ron to Judicial Island for trial.

"I have considered this matter for a long time before deciding on it. I will explain it to the Marshal in person later. If the Marshal disagrees, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

"No! We have to go now!"

The flying squirrel took out a special Den Den Mushi from his pocket with a sullen look on his face, and dialed the headquarters number directly under Ron's twitching gaze.

This is the “bigger problem” that follows!
What the ICAC needs most to prove its worth is time, and it is obvious that the flying squirrel will not give it this time.

Grand Line, Marinford.

No one expected that during this rare period of peace when they defeated all the beasts and the Golden Lion died, the senior officers of the navy were once again gathered together by the Warring States.

Aokiji met Garp in the corridor and asked curiously, "Mr. Garp, what's the matter with the marshal suddenly calling us over?"

The Four Seas Investigation has been going on for more than two months and is coming to an end. In front of the high-end combat power sent by the headquarters, no matter whether it is the ferocious beasts or the corrupt branches, they can't cause any waves. The situation is very good!
Aokiji couldn't figure out what could have happened at this moment that required them to gather urgently.

Is there something wrong with the new world again?

But I haven’t heard of it?!
Garp was also confused. He had just returned from Puke and wanted to ask Aokiji, but he didn't expect that Aokiji also didn't know the answer.

Since most of the lieutenant generals were sent out and Kizaru was out on a mission and had not returned, there were only four or five people in Sengoku's office.

First up is Marshal Sengoku… Well, it would be strange if he wasn’t here!

Tsuru, the chief of staff of the Navy Headquarters, is indispensable in all matters, big or small.

It's not surprising for Akainu and Aokiji to be called over when something requires their intervention or their opinions.

Cap... This is just to make up the number and to show respect for the place where the incident happened.

Zefa...

"Eh?! Why are you here when you're not here to nurse the new recruits?"

Garp looked at Zefa in surprise. The latter was wearing a colorful beach T-shirt today, a straw hat on his head to protect himself from the sun, a small teapot in his hand filled with wolfberries, dates and daisies, and flip-flops on his feet.

If it weren't for his open shirt revealing his muscular body and shocking scars, everyone would have thought he was a retired cadre who came out to fish in good weather.

Edward Wilbur, the Golden Lion, Zefa's biggest wish in life has been fulfilled, his great revenge has been achieved, and his disciples have grown into independent and outstanding naval officers. Now he is no longer as extreme as in the original book.

Not only did the Pirate Guerrillas disappear, he even rejected Vegapunk's proposal to make him a prosthetic limb, and his entire temperament became more easy-going.

If he had been bullied by Garp in the past, Zephyr would have taken action without saying a word, but this time he just glanced at Garp indifferently and then took a sip of tea.

Just ignore it!

Garp: "..."

Ignored? I was ignored, right?!

I was ignored by Zefa? ! !
A bite of donut choked in his mouth, Karp's expression twisted, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten feces.

"Ahem, now that everyone is here, I'll make it short!"

At this time, Zhan Guo coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"I called you all here today for no other reason. Ron has set up an independent commission against corruption in the East China Sea. You can take a look at the information and share your thoughts."

ICAC???

A group of people took the information in confusion, opened it and quickly scanned it.

Zefa was not surprised by this, as Ron had discussed the corruption problem of the Sihai branch with him a long time ago. In the past, his influence was not taken seriously, and the matter was only discussed. Now that he was officially in power, it was normal for him to take action.

So Zefa was not surprised, but felt that Ron had seized a godsend opportunity.

You must know that the person who took the initiative to propose a thorough investigation of the Sihai branch plan was Marshal Zhan Guo. He just went with the flow and made some additions to the original plan while achieving his own goal in the process.

This strong sense of cunning revealed Ron's usual style, which made Zefa very satisfied.

Where can you find a disciple who is both capable and intelligent? !

But the others were not as calm as him. Garp's face was distorted and Aokiji was also frowning.

The data clearly stated that the Navy Headquarters and the four seas were far apart, which made the branches feel that they were far away from the emperor and had a sense of luck, so corruption was rampant. Therefore, Ron thought that a supervisory agency representing the headquarters should be set up in each of the four seas to deter the scum of the Navy and solve the corruption problem from the root.

It seems like a good thing, but the Navy already has a regulatory agency responsible for its branches, and even the World Government has intervened. All parties coordinate and supervise, and the emergence of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is dividing their rights!

“I agree to set up an ICAC!”

At this time, the first person to speak was Akainu.

This is both unexpected and reasonable. The hawkish officers can be said to be the hard-line faction within the Navy that is least likely to produce bad elements. They are cold-blooded and ruthless because of their "extreme justice", but they also cannot tolerate anything that tarnishes justice.

Akainu had long been dissatisfied with the existing regulatory agencies of the Navy, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption established by Ron was just what he wanted.

and……

Although the ICAC does not have any command or management authority over the branches, it does have a higher level of supervisory power, and the character of the managers is of paramount importance.

Based on this, if we ask who in the Navy Headquarters is more suitable to be in charge of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, who else but us, except the Akainu faction? !
He is going to be a marshal!

Akainu will naturally not let go of this good opportunity to legitimately intervene in the world and achieve "absolute justice"!
So when Akainu spoke up to support this plan, everyone present was just slightly surprised for a moment and then took it for granted.

“But if we do this, wouldn’t the existing institutions be unnecessary?”

Aokiji looked worried: "Everyone knows that the power and position of the Judicial Island is equal to ours. Once the Independent Commission Against Corruption is established, it is hard to say what will happen to the Five Elders, but it will definitely be a problem for the various officials."

In the eyes of the World Government, or many government officials, the navy is a watchdog with lower authority than them.

Now the slaves want to turn the tables and become the masters of their own house, but as high-ranking government officials, they naturally will not agree.

Aokiji expressed the helplessness of the navy. It’s not that they don’t want to intervene, but that they don’t have the right to do so.

The power of the Judicial Island is equal to that of the Navy. In the past, all the Navy who made mistakes were tried by the Judicial Island. As long as the government issues an arrest warrant, they can even arrest the Navy Marshal.

"You should have made a decision, right, Sengoku?"

At this time, He raised his head quietly, his eyes full of a look of seeing through everything. Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhan Guo, with some surprise on their faces.

"Hmph, of course!"

Zhan Guo raised the corner of his mouth, and his eyes behind the toad glasses were fixed on Zefa, and he said lightly: "You really taught a good disciple, Zefa!"

"In a few years, he may be the true wise commander of the navy!"

Zephyr: "Meow meow meow?!"
