Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Gion's beautiful big eyes widened in disbelief, accompanied by a soft touch, and she responded awkwardly.

"

Her eyes, which had been wide open just moments before, were now completely closed, leaving only her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Raleigh opened his eyes slightly, looking at the beautiful face in front of him.

Her snow-white skin was flushed with a rosy blush, just like a ripe peach.

After a long while, the two finally separated from their previous state.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time, but don't tell anyone else."

Gion Ban feigned anger, baring her little fangs and fists at Raleigh.

"If you dare tell anyone, I'll beat you up."

Having said that, he hurriedly ran away without waiting for Raleigh's reply.

Raleigh smacked his lips, savoring the sweet taste of Gion on his tongue. He wished he could experience this more often.

St. John's Mary, in a three-story villa.

The spacious hall was not decorated in any fancy way; everything was designed with simplicity and elegance in mind. The room was furnished with only a sofa and a table.

All the decorations that were supposed to be used here are gone.

A tall, bald man in a kimono put down the confidential documents in his hand, adjusted his glasses, and said:

"How many stupid people have infiltrated the government? I recommend that all these officials be executed."

"A bunch of useless idiots. They couldn't even find a group of lowly commoners. They sacrificed their intelligence personnel from Beihai in vain."

Although a long time has passed since the events in the Kingdom of Eryo, the Navy's reports have always been too vague, and World Government officials have also been evasive, which has greatly displeased the Five Elders.

Finally, the CP organization members who had been dispatched sent back detailed information after conducting their investigation.

However, most of the events lacked supporting evidence and could only be based on reasonable speculation. Izambaron V. Nassus, the Saint, acted cleanly, but they overlooked one thing: we didn't need a reason to execute them.

"A chubby Five Elders said slowly and deliberately."

He is the Sorcerer God of War among the Five Elders - Topman Vochuli Saint. In fact, this is precisely the confidence they have as the Five Elders, the five most powerful people besides Im, the Lord of the Void, as the rulers of the World Government.

They don't need any reason to kill someone, nor do they care about the person's identity.

A naval admiral? He can be killed!

A king of a member state of the World Government? He can be killed!

They even have the power to punish Guan Longren.

The naval admiral certainly can't escape responsibility for this. I remember that guy's name is Borsalino, right?

The environmental war god with an extremely long beard, Marcus Mazs, spoke Borsalino's name and wrote it down in his notebook.

Bring me the information on Borsalino.

After Marcus Mazsan gave the order, a reply came from a corner of the room.

A short while later, a man dressed in a white suit and wearing a white mask walked in from outside, carrying a thick stack of files, which he placed on the table.

This contains a detailed investigation of Borsalino by the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

In fact, even things Borsalino couldn't remember were recorded here.

"Hmm, this guy has some potential for development."

The most powerful agricultural warrior, Shepard X. Petr Saint, glanced at Borsalino's file and calmly remarked, "This guy has great respect for the World Nobles. Look at how well he's performed in carrying out missions with the World Government and the World Nobles."

After Shepard X. Pitt Saint finished expressing his opinion, the scientific defense war god - Jaigolusia Satan Saint, who had been silent until now, slowly spoke.

"Don't touch Borsalino yet, I need him to do something."

"I heard he has a younger brother in the Navy, right? Let the Air Force issue a military order to transfer him to the G5 branch of the Grand Line so he can keep that magma brat company."

Our most important task now is not dealing with these ambitious people, but with Vegapunk, whom we summoned earlier.

The Agricultural God of War, Shepard X. Pitt Saint, glanced curiously at Jaigolusia Satan Saint, seemingly not quite understanding his meaning.

Upon seeing this, Jaygolucia Satan took out several photos from his pocket and placed them on the table.

The picture appears to have been taken secretly; outside a steel-cast base, several people in research suits are escorting several prisoners.

"It was CPO's shield who personally led the charge, swimming alone across the Calm Belt to find Vegapunk's base."

"Vegapunk's technology has reached unprecedented heights; he has touched upon forbidden territory."

Izanbaron √ Nasshou, holding the demon sword in his arms, said coldly!

That's the realm of the gods. Since he's touched it, just send in the navy to destroy him.

After listening, Jaigollucia Satan Saint smiled and said;

"No, Izambaron V. Nassuro Sei. It would be such a waste for a genius like Vegapunk to die like this."

Top scientists like these, who may only appear once every few centuries, are better suited to serve the stability of our world government's rule.

After hearing Jaigolusia Satan's answer, the other four Elders nodded.

They don't care whether anyone actually has the ability to touch forbidden areas, as long as these people are under their control and become their helpers.

That's settled then. Two orders will be given to the Navy. One order is to transfer Borsalino's brother to the G5 branch.

Another order was for the Navy to find a way to cross the Calm Belt and capture Vegapunk and his crew.

Suddenly, a CPO member in a white suit appeared in the corner, bowing his head and kneeling on the ground, answering the call to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

Inside the marshal's office, Kong stared speechlessly at the two orders laid out on the table and the arrogant CPO members before him.

"Fleet Admiral Kong, this is an order just issued by the Five Elders. You are to carry out their orders immediately."

The CPO member, dressed in a white suit, looked arrogantly at Kong, who pleaded, "Please convey my message to the Five Elders: both of these orders require time; they are not matters that can be resolved quickly."

Kong thought about the wording in his mind for a moment, and then said it out loud.

Do you know what you're saying? The Five Elders' orders should be obeyed immediately, not discussed here as a way to figure things out.

Some members of the CPO organization were angry.

In their eyes and hearts, the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, are descendants of gods.

The Five Elders are practically the representatives of God on Earth, so they do not tolerate anyone who goes against their will. Even those who delay the orders given by the Five Elders will be reprimanded mercilessly, regardless of their status.

"Are you courting death, you Celestial Dragon's lackey?"

An incredibly hard hand suddenly grabbed the CPO member's shoulder, squeezing it so hard it cracked.

"What are you doing? Garp, release the World Government personnel immediately."

After waiting for a long time, Sora finally began to persuade Garp to release the CPO members under his command.

"Hmph, a dog is a dog. It doesn't change its species because of its master's nobility. Someone as insignificant as you, who doesn't even recognize his own worth, won't have anyone avenge you if you're killed."

Sengoku, who followed Garp in, made a blatant threat.

At this point in the Warring States period, there was no need to consider so many things. Seeing their teacher being humiliated, it was natural that they could not suppress the anger in their hearts.

"Alright, let him go."

I don't want to make a big deal out of this; I just want to teach him a lesson.

Knowing they were outmatched, the CPO members quickly turned and ran outside after hearing Kong's words.

As he ran, he secretly vowed to make the navy pay the price.

After seeing off the CPO members, Kong looked at the two orders on the table with a serious expression and said, "I have read the Five Elders' orders. I will briefly explain them first."

"Because Borsalino didn't do a very good job in the North Blue, a workers' uprising broke out in the Kingdom of Eryorobu, which destroyed the World Government's intelligence base, causing some dissatisfaction within the World Government."

But Borsalino is currently aligned with Sengoku, and their attitude towards Borsalino is somewhat ambiguous. I suspect the reason Raleigh was transferred to the G5 branch was as a warning to Borsalino.

Kong and Sengoku, who had dealt with the World Government and the Five Elders for many years, immediately saw through this: the World Government simply wanted to save face and test whether it could control Borsalino.

In their eyes, Raleigh was nothing more than a dispensable pawn.

However, Sora couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Raleigh's incredible abilities:

That guy always manages to surprise us. Wherever he goes, he can find a way to resolve chaos. I really hope he can make something of himself in the G5 branch.

Neither Sora nor Sengoku cared about Raleigh going to the G5 branch.

Although Raleigh is relatively weak and the G5 branch is quite dangerous, the G5 branch is currently under Sakazuki's command.

Both Sora and Sengoku had complete confidence in Sakazuki.

We can just follow the World Government's orders; it won't have much impact on the Navy's internal affairs.

Return to the second command.

This command is indeed quite difficult; there isn't much good technology available right now to cross the doldrums.

Vegapunk and his crew have already developed technology to traverse the Calm Belt. If we capture Vegapunk, we might be able to acquire that technology in the future.

Upon hearing Kong's troubles, Garp immediately shouted loudly;

"What's so difficult about this, Void Master? We'll send out a few strong warriors to swim over there, and they'll be fine in no time. We'll capture Vegapunk there, then sail their ship back."

Garp's words seemed to have given Sora a new direction.

But after thinking for a moment, he shook his head. Sengoku, sitting on the sofa, then spoke up:

Those strong enough to swim across the Calm Belt have eliminated many. Excluding those with Devil Fruits, currently only you and Zephyr from Headquarters can do this.

Zephyr has already set off for the New World and he doesn't have time to come back for the time being.

And since you have no sense of direction, even if you could swim across the Calm Belt on your own, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to find your way around without anyone with you.

Sengoku was well aware of Garp's unreliability.

If it weren't for the technical staff on the ship, this guy might never have made it back to headquarters on his own.

While some of Karp's suggestions were useful, his ideas were too simplistic.

The main problem is that they don't know Vegapunk's exact location; otherwise, Garp's suggestion might have been implemented.

How did the World Government find Vegapunk's base? Do they have the technology to cross the Calm Belt or are they powerful enough to be Admirals?

Sengoku was somewhat puzzled. He looked at Kongtikong, whose brows were furrowed and who was solemnly recalling the secrets he had read:

I'm not sure if the World Government possesses the technology to traverse the Calm Belt, but it certainly has admiral-level combat capabilities.

'However, compared to general-level combat power, I thought of another possibility: perhaps the CF player who discovered the location...'

The members of Organization 0 are either merfolk or merfolk hybrids.

Sengoku and Garp both nodded.

"But our navy doesn't seem to have anyone like that. Shall we go look for them?"

Just then, He pushed open the office door and walked in.

Xiao He, it's perfect that you're here. Help us with some advice.

After Sora repeated the story, He roughly understood what had happened and went to the bookshelf, pulling out a nautical chart.

World Government intelligence personnel have stated that this island is not very far from the edge of the doldrums.

He swam for about four hours and arrived, which is about 70 nautical miles.

The crane marked the sides of the calm zone and then marked several islands in the North Sea.

This is a place Vegapunk and his crew often frequent; I guess it's one of the islands closest to their base.

With the progress made by Crane's hypothetical method, a small area was quickly circled on the nautical chart.

This is the most likely hiding place for Vegapunk and his crew.

After carefully comparing the distances, Crane suddenly spoke;

The distance here isn't very far, and the method Karp mentioned can also be achieved.

But I have another idea, which is to let Kuzan give it a try.

"Kuzan's Devil Fruit ability is the Ice-Ice Fruit, which allows him to turn the sea into ice so people can walk on it."

Upon hearing this, Kong couldn't help but nod and say:

"Kuzan's abilities are very suitable for this situation, but it's uncertain whether Kuzan's stamina will be sufficient to reach Vegapunk's island."

"Then let's give it a try. I have faith in Kuzan's abilities."

Garp confidently stated that although Kuzan was not his apprentice, Kuzan often followed him around and was someone who shared his interests.

Furthermore, during the long battle, Garp also greatly admired Kuzan's strength.

"Kuzan now possesses the strength of a lieutenant general; creating an ice path shouldn't be a problem for him."

After some discussion, the group decided that Garp would lead the team, with Kuzan assisting, to capture Vegapunk, while Sengoku would stay behind at headquarters.

Kong decided to call Raleigh himself to inform him of his promotion to rank at headquarters.
