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

Several days have passed since Sengoku was promoted to admiral, and the positions of the three new admirals in the navy have all been filled. Their posters have also been broadcast around the world.

The vice admirals who appeared in the Battle of Marineford were gradually promoted from rear admirals.

After the Marineford revelry, most of the naval soldiers and officers gathered and embarked on journeys to various parts of the world.

They firmly believed that under the banner of justice, pirates and other evil forces would be wiped out by the valiant naval soldiers.

In the newly renovated marshal's office, Sengoku had changed into his marshal's uniform. He sat in the previously empty seat and, mimicking Sora's manner, began to review the files.

Kamikami.

The veins on Zhan Guo's forehead were throbbing, and the pen in his hand seemed to be under immense pressure, becoming somewhat deformed.

However, the person who made the sound didn't seem to notice and continued eating heartily.

Kami kami...

!

Sengoku could no longer bear it and slammed his hand on the solid wood desk, making a loud noise.

The person making the noise was startled; the rice cracker in their mouth even got stuck in their throat, causing them to forget to swallow.

Click

Seeing Garp baring his teeth and brandishing his claws, Sengoku unleashed his fury, punching Garp in the face.

boom.

Karp's head hit the sofa.

Gudong.

Catching the force, Garp swallowed the senbei in his mouth.

He was panting heavily, and said with dissatisfaction:

"Sengoku, you almost killed me."

Sengoku clenched his fists again, his eyes filled with danger as he said:

"Who told you to eat senbei while I was working?"

"Don't worry, if you choke to death on a rice cracker, I absolutely won't cover for you. I'll publish reports to the whole world saying you died from eating a rice cracker, and I'll also promote someone else to replace you."

Seeing the enraged Sengoku, Garp shrank back. He was stubborn, but he knew when to back down. Sengoku had basically been in a position of suppressing him all along.

Whether it's physical actions or words, Garp is a bit lacking.

Garp, who dared not speak, took out the senbei in his hand again, ready to start eating.

The senbei in Garp's hand instantly appeared in Sengoku's hand, leaving Garp, who was about to eat the senbei, staring blankly at his empty left hand.

Sengoku tilted his head back and poured all the senbei into his mouth, then began to eat them heartily.

"You bastard Sengoku, you stole my senbei!"

"hateful!"

After exchanging insults, the two of them fell silent.

After hesitating for a moment, Sengoku said:

"Garp, do you remember when Raleigh talked about Dragon's Revolutionary Army?"

Garp was taken aback. He had no recollection of the Revolutionary Army founded by Dragon, especially since it was Raleigh who had mentioned it.

At that time, Garp almost had a falling out with Raleigh and Sakazuki because of Roger's offspring. Because of that incident, Garp was confined to his quarters and stripped of his title as a Marine Hero.

I remember Raleigh once said that Dragon had set up a revolutionary army in a country in the North Sea, but that was just small-scale fighting; no army could compare to our navy!

"Karp said proudly."

Currently, the Navy is at its peak. The previous three admirals, Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr, have not yet reached the point of diminishing their strength, while the new three admirals are all climbing to their peak.

We also need to add a chief of staff whose abilities are no less than those of a general—Kuzan.

That's right. Because Kuzan failed to snatch the position of general from Borsalino, Sengoku gave Kuzan the position of chief of staff, a position higher than Tsuru's.

The chief of staff had considerable authority. During the first high-level generals meeting held in the conference room in the name of the Yuan Shi during the Warring States period, the chief of staff's authority was explicitly stated, and the relationship between Kuzan and him was subtly revealed.

Sengoku believed that anyone who could understand would treat Kuzan with the same respect as an admiral. Furthermore, because he was not an admiral, Kuzan achieved a similar status to Garp, not needing to be stationed in Marineford, and could organize his fleet to sail according to his own ideas.

Garp, you may not know this, but Dragon has now built an extremely powerful Revolutionary Army.

Sengoku took a file from the table and said to Garp;

This is information gathered by our naval intelligence personnel regarding the area of ​​activity of the revolutionary army.

Within the four seas, the revolutionary army has already amassed a considerable popular base. Although they haven't yet risen up in rebellion, who can guarantee that they won't in the future?

The Five Elders have their eyes on Dragon's location. Before they order the Navy to attack the Revolutionary Army, go find Dragon.

Sengoku looked at Garp in front of him and said with a complex expression.

Frankly speaking, he was also unwilling to go to war with the Revolutionary Army, especially since the leader of the Revolutionary Army was Monkey D. Dragon.

Seriously speaking, Ryu really was a child that Sengoku had watched grow up.

Especially before Ryu left the Navy, Sengoku had always groomed him to be his successor. Now that Ryu has retired from the Navy, he can still find the knowledge that Sengoku taught him in his newly created forces.

Garp was unusually silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice;

"Okay, send me the specific address. I need some time to go and ask Long."

Zhan Guo nodded; he had no objection whatsoever.

Before the Revolutionary Army fully reveals its threat to the World Nobles, Sengoku hopes that Garp can persuade Dragon to abandon the Revolutionary Army.

This way, the Navy and the Revolutionary Army wouldn't end up turning against each other. Dragon, who was far away in the North Sea and was figuring out how to rescue Ivankov and Lightning from Impel Down, never expected that the first thing Sengoku would do after assuming the position of Grand Master was to send Garp to find him and ask him to disband the Revolutionary Army.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Karp's jovial demeanor vanished. He sat on the sofa without moving, only taking a moment to make a phone call to his adjutant, instructing them to move the supplies from the warship onto the ship first.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, we have new intelligence."

The messenger pushed open the door and entered the Warring States period's office, carrying several nautical charts and documents.

"What's the rush? Is it something from the New World?"

Sengoku frowned. He was most afraid of problems in the New World because the Four Seas, or the first half of the Grand Line, were simply easy opponents to conquer in the face of the current naval power.

Only pirates from the New World could give Sengoku a run for his money.

The enormous nautical chart was quickly unfolded on the coffee table, and at the same time, a messenger handed over the top-secret intelligence to Sengoku.

Reporting to Marshal Sengoku, according to intelligence relayed by our informant from the New World.

"Kaido led his crew of pirates to the territory of the Red-Haired Shanks Pirates, who had only recently entered the New World."

Sengoku reviewed all the intelligence he had, then began analyzing something by comparing it with the islands on the nautical chart.

"Shanks, isn't that the red-haired brat from Roger's ship? How did Kaido end up targeting him?"

So far, no pirate has been given the title of "Four Emperors".

Because of the original Four Emperors, Whitebeard Newgate had already been killed by the Navy.

The remaining captains, such as Marco, were unable to defend the Whitebeard Pirates' vast territory, so they had to give up some less important islands in exchange for absolute control of the core island.

"Who should we send?"

Sengoku was somewhat conflicted. The situation in the new world was unclear, and no matter who he sent, there was a possibility of casualties in battle.

Suddenly, a smiling face flashed through Sengoku's mind: "Let's go with Raleigh."

"Rayle is now an admiral, and his abilities and physical skills are extremely strong. His swordsmanship is also quite good. It might be better to send him to the New World to handle things. Sengoku is currently relying solely on Rayle."

After all, Sakazuki is a battle maniac. If he were sent to the New World, he would definitely be fighting pirates every day.

The Warring States period enjoyed the feeling of strategizing, and he wouldn't actively try to burst the bubble before things had developed to that point.

"Go and give this letter to General Raleigh."

Sengoku returned to his desk, picked up his pen, and began signing the orders.

He then handed it over to the messenger, instructing him to get to the New World as quickly as possible to maintain stability!

"Red-haired Shanks? He was just an apprentice kid on a ship back then."

Raleigh didn't think much of it. In his view, both Shanks and Kaido were tests on his path to becoming Fleet Admiral. The fact that they were sending him directly into the New World was wonderful.

Raleigh stood up excitedly and looked at the nautical chart displayed in his office.

"Naruto, if you want to go to the New World, you either have to take the elevator that's unique to Jogmari, or you can only get coated in the Sabaody Archipelago and then use Fishman Island as a springboard to get to the most chaotic place in the New World."

Once the issue of whether or not one can enter is resolved, there are no other problems.

"So what if Kaido of the Beasts and Shanks, for the first time ever, actually fight each other? Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Even after Raleigh was transported to this other world, his desire to watch the drama unfold remained unchanged.

"Are you leaving again, Raleigh?"

Upon learning the news, Gion rushed over from the warship to ask.

Raleigh reached out and pulled Gion into his arms, holding her tightly as he said:

This is the first time the Warring States Master has ordered me to go to the New World, no matter what.

But don't worry, with my strength, as long as Charlotte Linlin, Kaido of the Beasts, and Shanks don't team up at the same time in the New World, I have nothing to fear.

Raleigh knew that Gion was also going on a mission.

When she was with Raleigh, she hadn't captured any pirates for a long time and didn't have enough battle achievements, so Gion was still a Rear Admiral instead of becoming a Vice Admiral like Kakei.

Now she plans to go to the first half of the Grand Line to accumulate some battle merits, and then be promoted to Vice Admiral.

"Then you must be careful on the road."

The two looked at each other affectionately, and then kissed.

Punk Hazard, an island in the New World.

This is the Ice and Fire Island that Wang Luffy once visited.

However, Punk Hazard remains unchanged, just like any other island in the ocean.

The reason it turned into a world of ice and fire was because Sakazuki and Kuzan were dueling here, which made Raleigh suddenly remember someone, a Gas-Gas Fruit user who liked to play with poison gas - Caesar Clown.

It was through his collaboration with the Don Quixote family that they acquired their various weapons and potions.

However, after closing his eyes and using his Observation Haki and the Hurricane Fruit's abilities to search the area, Law found nothing and the search ended.

He went to Punk Kazakhstan because someone was waiting for him there.

"Long time no see, Rat, Cleveland."

Yes, it was Rat and Cleveland who appeared here. Cleveland hadn't reached the rank of Major General, while Rat had been promoted to Lieutenant General.

In recent years, due to the influence of the North Blue Mafia, most pirates have been able to purchase only small amounts of supplies in the North Blue, resulting in Cleveland's military achievements not increasing significantly.

Inside the cave, besides the rat and Cleveland who had arrived earlier, only Raleigh, the newly arrived general, remained.

"How are you, Rat and Cleveland? Long time no see, I've missed you two so much!"

Raleigh stepped forward and asked if the source of the intelligence had been verified.

"Rayle asked jokingly."

The rat pointed to a structure pieced together from clay and sand, which represented the terrain and landforms of all places along the Grand Line, as well as their character weaknesses.

At this moment, the entire world model has been completed, with the rat and Cleveland having planted their flags.

Red represents the revolutionary army's sphere of influence, blue represents the navy's sphere of influence, and there is also a significant guest who has not yet appeared.

That represents the strength of the black-clad pirates.

Pirates do indeed have their flags everywhere, but their flags are not continuous, and in fact, most of them are located within the sphere of influence of the Navy or the Revolutionary Army.

Cleveland asked with interest:

General Raleigh, this perspective is more apt; the Revolutionary Army is indeed a behemoth.

Seeing that the Revolutionary Army had already occupied a third of the territory, Raleigh didn't seem to mind. Instead, he explained to Cleveland:

"Cleveland, those are just little tricks to amuse ourselves."

Although they appear powerful now, both the World Government and the Navy could easily break them with the slightest touch.

"It's truly astonishing that the dragons could develop to this extent without any support."

However, the dragon was already prepared for battle.

Instead of secretly infiltrating several member states, they discovered from within that these were all within the revolutionary army's territory.

"As expected of a dragon, it always seems to see the outcome of things at a glance."

"It's no wonder the World Government arrested his commander; it's already developed to this point, what will happen if it continues to develop like this?"

After exchanging a glance, the mouse and Cleveland asked a question.

"What's wrong, Raleigh? Do you think the dragon can't accomplish what it wants to do?"

"Originally, I wanted to use Jianlong's idea to develop our strength."

Raleigh shook his head, then said:

"It's not true that the more people the better; an organization cannot expand recklessly solely through this development model."

"Before they could gel as a cohesive unit, the revolutionary army's fighting capacity was steadily declining."
