Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 533 Various Aspects of Headquarters

"Marshal Sakazuki, please have your meal!"

"Hmm!" Looking at the simple meal laid out in front of him, Sakazuki frowned slightly, but didn't dwell on it too much. He nodded lightly, picked up the bowl, then looked up at the smiling, pink-haired youth holding the plate. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your name is..."

"Koby, my name is Koby." Upon hearing Sakazuki's words, Koby stood at attention, saluted, and said with his head held high, "Marshal Sakazuki."

"I remember you used to be Garp's subordinate?" Sakazuki said slowly, munching on his food. "Why didn't you defect with that old man?"

"I am indeed Mr. Garp's subordinate, but I am also a Marine," Coby said, head held high and without hesitation. "I will not leave until Marine Headquarters fires me!"

"Fire?" Upon hearing these two words, Sakazuki scoffed, saying calmly and self-deprecatingly, "We can't pay wages anymore, so it doesn't matter whether we fire them or not!"

"I didn't join the Navy Headquarters for the pay!"

This unwavering and firm answer startled Sakazuki, but he then slowly picked up a piece of fish and said casually, "I didn't expect there to be such an idiot as you in the Marine Headquarters."

"Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, I'm not stupid. There are many others at Marine Headquarters who, like me, such as Admiral Polissarrino, Vice Admiral Gion, and Vice Admiral Kakei, are still holding their ground here!"

"..."

Sakazuki remained silent, watching Koby, who didn't seem to be saying anything against his conscience. He didn't say anything more, calmly picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then said indifferently, "Did you prepare lunch today?"

"Yes!"

"Did you catch these fish?"

"Yes!"

How long can the food supply at Naval Headquarters last?

"As long as the Naval Headquarters can hold out, we can hold out for as long as possible. Please trust us, Fleet Admiral Sakazuki!"

"..."

Hearing Koby's arrogant words, Sakazuki shook his head helplessly again.

A while ago, the value of the world currency, the Berries, collapsed, causing many people to leave the Marine Headquarters, and the same thing happened at the cafeteria.

He originally thought that from now on he would have to find his own way to get a meal, but he never expected that a group of young navy men would volunteer to cook for him.

Of course, he wouldn't trust a naval captain so easily!

It's important to know that food is extremely expensive at sea these days. Although there is still cheap food available in the East China Sea, they no longer accept Berries; they only accept the currency issued by the East China Sea. Therefore, the Navy Headquarters cannot purchase any food there.

Sakazuki paused for a moment, then said, "I heard you're from the East Sea?"

"Yes!"

"Why not join the East China Sea Navy?"

"...It was the East Blue Navy Commander who recommended me to join the Marine Headquarters to Garp." Hearing Sakazuki's words, Koby scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Commander Shattrath said the Marine Headquarters could uphold my justice, but little did he expect that the Marine Headquarters would be on the verge of collapse..."

At this point, seemingly realizing he had said something inappropriate, he quickly bowed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, I didn't mean the Marine Headquarters..."

"I've already finished eating." Sakazuki had no intention of listening to him anymore, and waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, go on."

"Yes, Marshal Sakazuki!"

Without any delay, Koby breathed a sigh of relief, quickly tidied up the tableware, and was about to turn and leave.

A calm voice suddenly came from behind, "The food is delicious! I'll leave the cafeteria to you."

Although his voice was flat and tinged with indifference, his words excited Koby. He turned around again, bent down, and said happily, "Leave it to us!"

After saying that, she didn't linger and skipped away with cheerful steps.

Watching that happy figure disappear into the distance, Sakazuki remained silent for a while before shaking his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he looked at a piece of paper on the table.

The paper listed names one after another, clearly the list of naval personnel still stationed at Naval Headquarters.

Finally, Sakazuki's gaze fell on one of the names, and he muttered to himself, "Borsalino... I didn't expect you to still be here!"

……

"Uncle, aren't we leaving yet? We're really going to be so broke we won't even be able to afford rice balls anymore."

"We haven't even been paid yet." Hearing Sentomaru's words, Borsalino remained nonchalant and said, "Isn't it a waste to just leave like this?"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"What can those Berries do now besides cleaning up messes?" Sentomaru looked at Borsalino with a helpless expression. "Many have already left and joined the East Blue Navy. With your strength, Uncle, as long as you join the East Blue Navy, you'll definitely be able to earn it back quickly!"

"Although many have left, quite a few have stayed," Borsalino said, glancing sideways at Sentomaru. "You think you can just leave like that? I'm a Marine Admiral, how can I just leave so easily? That would be going against my own sense of justice!"

"No, Uncle, when did you become so stubborn? I don't remember." Sentomaru retorted irritably at Borsalino's answer, but seeing his uncle's resolute gaze, he could only sigh helplessly. His eyes hesitated for a moment, then hardened, and he sat cross-legged, arms crossed. "Since we already know Master is in the East Blue, then I'll stay here like Uncle. I, Sentomaru, am also a man..."

however.

Before he could finish speaking...

"Pulling pulling~"

Borsalino's Den Den Mushi rang, his eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he answered it immediately.

When a familiar figure was projected, Sentomaru was immediately stunned.

That was none other than the former Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and Chief of Staff of the East China Sea Navy—Sengoku!

A moment later, after listening to Borsalino's conversation with the other party, Sentomaru finally couldn't hold back anymore. His face instantly darkened, and looking at Borsalino, who was happily hanging up the Den Den Mushi and lying down again with satisfaction, he roared, "Uncle, where's your justice?!"

Why didn't you bring him along?

……

Just when everyone at the Navy Headquarters was in a state of panic.

the other side.

On the sea near Marie Vanderbilt.

Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Chief of Staff of the Naval Headquarters, sat aboard the warship, staring in astonishment at the guy who had just hung up the Den Den Mushi. He then said with a strange expression, "When did you, old man, get involved with Borsalino?"
