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

Raleigh seemed to have gained some understanding as he listened to Borsalino's words.

However, the current logic chains are all intermittent.

Even if there are some ideas, they are not logically connected.

However, Raleigh was certain of one thing: the World Government wanted to make things difficult for him.

He himself may not be the primary target of the world government, but there is one thing that can be accomplished through him.

Raleigh found it very mentally taxing.

I haven't used my brain for a long time, and now I'm finding it a bit difficult to reason.

After thinking about it, Raleigh decided to call the flying squirrel.

"Flying Squirrel, I've roughly guessed some things, but I don't have a complete logic yet, so for now, you should focus on protecting Bellemere's safety. By the way, is Professor Zephyr with you?"

"Yes, that's right. Should we let Professor Zephyr know about this?"

"Hehe, it's good to let Professor Zephyr know. I suspect that his purpose in going to the East Blue isn't that simple. As an admiral, it's illogical for him not to be capturing pirates on the Grand Line, but instead to go to the East Blue to find you."

The phone call from the flying squirrel helped Raleigh clarify some of his thoughts.

No wonder, Zephyr was supposed to be guarding the Grand Line or the headquarters.

Suddenly, they appeared in the East China Sea without anyone noticing.

A general of this caliber would be under the watchful eye of the world government for every move he makes.

According to normal procedures, it would be reported to the World Government.

Then, he would have a large fleet at his disposal in the naval branches across the four seas.

Now, Zefa has no soldiers besides his adjutant.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem reasonable.

Raleigh guessed that the Marine Headquarters had also guessed that the World Government might use the killing of the Kingdom Guard as a pretext to take action against the Marines.

The economic sanctions mentioned in the phone call just now also made Raleigh think of the issue of naval spending.

However, because his rank was not high enough, he was unaware of many classified information.

So Raleigh hasn't yet guessed that the World Government intends to use his identity as a springboard.

If any evidence is found that Raleigh had even the slightest connection with the Mad Blade Pirates, they will immediately use him as a pretext to target the entire Navy.

CP9 targeted Raleigh not because they actually had evidence against him.

In fact, they had already decided in their minds that Raleigh was the reason for this plan.

They can find the evidence slowly.

Actually, CP9 had many targets at the beginning, including Duncan, the base leader of Branch 127.

But after Steele eliminated those people step by step, only Bellemere and Raleigh's group remained.

Bellemere is too low-level; bringing up someone like that is not convincing.

Raleigh was formerly the head of the 133rd branch and is now the vice admiral.

The head on the shoulder was neither too big nor too small, just right for this reason.

Moreover, according to CP's intelligence, there are very few people in the Navy who are close to him.

Aside from Borsalino and Momonga, there isn't much of a high-ranking naval connection.

Even if Raleigh is convicted, the Navy won't necessarily react violently.

(The Navy was suppressed too much by the World Government, and before Raleigh showed his monstrous talent, they were just ordinary admiral-level personnel.)

However, even Steele did not expect that they would stumble upon the real mastermind.

"Damn it, it seems my brain just happens to meet their standards."

Although Raleigh didn't understand what the World Government wanted to do with his identity, he still felt very unhappy.

He wanted to overthrow the rule of the world government.

But just as Raleigh was planting trees and building barracks, the World Government set its sights on his crystals.

That's just so illogical.

Raleigh had no intention of running away from the Navy to become a pirate or a revolutionary.

Although Dragon's departure from the Navy was a secret, Borsalino had discussed it with Raleigh.

Monkey D. Dragon recently went to Jorgmali to serve as her bodyguard at the World Conference.

After that, Dragon seemed to change. Within a few months, he suddenly left the Navy, and no one knew where he went after that.

However, Raleigh knew that the Dragons had now formed what was known as the Self-Defense Force.

Furthermore, as Long travels the world, he will gradually build up the foundation of his future revolutionary army and become the naval commander of the four seas.

He thought of Bello Betty on his own ship.

If she hadn't met Raleigh back then, she would most likely have been taken away by Dragon and become the future commander of the East China Sea Navy.

In Raleigh's eyes, the current Self-Defense Forces are not even as good as pirates.

They were like a makeshift troupe, without a revolutionary program, revolutionary goals, or revolutionary slogans.

It was simply a loose alliance formed by a group of people who were disillusioned with the world.

There's no way Raleigh would run away to join the Revolutionary Army.

He stroked his chin. Since the situation was so awkward, he figured he might as well just tell his older brother.

Let the naval leadership handle any matters.

Anyway, I was born a member of the Navy... Death? It's impossible for me to die!

If the Navy can keep its own life, it will stay in the Navy and slack off. If it really can't keep its life, then Raleigh can only leave and then think of another way.

It doesn't matter, there are still many years to go.

Raleigh has no shortage of time; he has plenty of time to wait for the seeds to sprout.

Just like the flying squirrel and the naval seed that came out of his 133rd branch.

"Hey bro, Momonga just called me and said the World Government is investigating my file. You should talk to the higher-ups about it."

With a free mouthpiece available, he wouldn't bother arguing with the higher-ups.

Moreover, given the higher-ups' thinking, Raleigh could guess what solutions they would come up with without even having to think.

They'll definitely transfer Raleigh to Marine Headquarters.

Because it's difficult for the World Government to make a move only at Marine Headquarters.

The thought of going to Marine Headquarters made Raleigh scratch his head in frustration.

There are few high-ranking officials in the entire country; the highest-ranking official in Beihai right now is my own elder brother.

Once you get to headquarters, you'll find a bunch of higher-ups above you.

Lieutenant General, General, Marshal, etc.

Even if they have nothing to do with Raleigh, just thinking about it is annoying.

Raleigh had just graduated from military academy and, besides wanting to develop his own power, was also simply fed up with his superiors.

He would come over every day and lecture Raleigh.

Even if Raleigh doesn't listen, they still can't help but talk back, eager to be know-it-alls.

It seems that in their eyes, being able to educate a lazybones like Raleigh to be motivated is something to be proud of.

Thinking about it carefully, what Garp did doesn't seem so strange.

When someone is given the title of naval hero and becomes an admiral, everyone has to treat them with respect.

He wasn't an admiral, didn't need to be stationed at headquarters, and didn't need to care about the lives of the Celestial Dragons.

He accepted a mission to capture Roger and set off.

They drift on the sea all day, and they don't even know if they've caught anyone.

This is equivalent to being paid by the company to go on fieldwork without having to worry about whether or not you can complete the task.

After all, handing over a few petty pirates that he could easily capture was enough to satisfy his mission, and he could go wherever he wanted whenever he wanted.
