Chapter 98 Sengoku and Garp's Approval, Hina's Advance

"The shipwrights of Water Seven are forging a new ancient colossal warship—Pluto, the Hades!" Shen Jue said, his fingertips tracing the sea chart, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Kaido and Charlotte Linlin's resources will soon be enough to fill the gap."

Shen Jue looked towards the direction of Wano Country, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Another Pluto warship lies dormant there; the combined power of the two forces is enough to shake the world.

Aokiji and Kizaru exchanged a glance, sighing inwardly: So Shen Jue had already planned for this day. In that case, Xiaotian, the Fallen Beast, had already allied with Shen Jue.

No wonder Xiaotian's style of doing things is so similar to Shen Jue's.

Now everything makes sense.

Kizaru felt frustrated, believing he had been beaten for nothing.

Shen Jue's confidence was not unfounded.

Despite the terrifying power of the Ancient Weapon Uranus in the hands of the World Government.

"We're not bad either," Shen Jue said in a low voice, recalling the message King Neptune sent through the golden, anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi.

Under Princess Shirahoshi's guidance, Fish-Man Island is forcibly relocating the Sea Kings to a new world, and the power of Poseidon has been awakened.

"Marshal Shen Jue." Hina suddenly interrupted Shen Jue's thoughts and took the urgent intelligence handed to him by a naval officer.

"The Fallen Beast, Howling Sky, has formed the King Hunter Guild and publicly offered a bounty on the Celestial Dragons!"

"He also encountered Akainu in the first half of the Grand Line. Akainu was seriously injured in a short time. If Vice Admiral Garp hadn't arrived in time, Akainu would have been kidnapped by Xiaotian and taken back to the King Hunter Guild!"

Aokiji and Kizaru tensed up instantly.

Despite their aversion to Akainu's extreme sense of justice, as comrades-in-arms, neither of them wanted to see him perish at sea or become a prisoner.

Kizaru knew even better how terrifying Xiaotian was; having fought him head-on before, he still felt lingering fear.

And how strong has Shen Jue, who is on par with Xiaotian, become now?

He didn't think too deeply about it, but just thinking of Shen Jue, who was on par with Xiaotian, he understood that the so-called two of the Four Emperors of the Pirates were simply unable to stop the expansion of the new Navy.

The prelude to overthrowing world governments and the oceans has begun!

"The World Government has issued a massive global conscription order!"

"The number of Warlords of the Sea has been expanded!"

"The Revolutionary Army launched a large-scale armed revolution across the seas in the first half of the Grand Line!"

Everyone silently processed the information until the Den Den Mushi in Shen Jue's arms rang.

"The caller is former Fleet Admiral Sengoku," Shen Jue said, taking out his Den Den Mushi and answering the call decisively.

Kizaru and Aokiji remained silent, feeling helpless.

"Shen Jue".

The Den Den Mushi's signature beady eyes now seemed to have transformed into serious crescent-shaped eyes, and Sengoku's slightly aged yet still dignified voice emanated from it, accompanied by the sound of waves crashing against the ship's side in the background.

"You've caused too much of a commotion," Sengoku said bluntly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"You are not only challenging the authority of the World Government, but also forcing the navy officers and soldiers to choose sides."

Shen Jue chuckled softly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, the rhythm faintly overlapping with the roar of the Hades warship being forged in the distance.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, no, perhaps I should now call you Master of the Warring States Period."

"The rebuilding of order is always accompanied by growing pains. The Navy should uphold true justice, not be schizophrenic, becoming a tool of the Celestial Dragons' atrocities while firmly believing in the so-called forces of justice."

"I see..." Sengoku's voice was full of exhaustion, but the tension in his tone inexplicably dissipated as he said, "I'm not making this call to warn you."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a rougher, more impatient shout: "Hey! Give the phone to that kid! Hurry up! Stop dawdling like an old woman!"

Shen Jue's smile deepened.

"Lieutenant General Garp?" Shen Jue asked.

"Ah! It's me!" Garp's voice still sounded strong and energetic, as if he had just gone on a picnic after fighting Xiaotian in the first half of the Grand Line.

"Shen Jue, you did a great job! The Navy's job is to catch pirates!"

"Once you've wiped out all the pirates in the New World, who wouldn't recognize you as the Fleet Admiral?!"

"Garp!" Sengoku snatched the Den Den Mushi back again, seemingly glaring at Garp from the side.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's get down to business. Listen, Shen Jue, Karp and I are in a rather delicate situation right now."

"Akainu is seriously injured, Marine Headquarters is in chaos, and the World Government is frantically consolidating power, even trying to eliminate us as well."

"So?" Shen Jue's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Therefore, we have reached a consensus." Sengoku's voice became low and solemn. "For the future of this sea, and to prevent the Navy from becoming the Celestial Dragons' private army, Garp and I have decided to remain 'neutral'."

"Neutral?" Aokiji and Kizaru were dumbfounded.

Navy hero Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku have declared neutrality towards the new Navy? This is more absurd than the sun rising in the west.

"That's right, it's neutrality." Garp interrupted, laughing as he explained, "Simply put, the Marine Headquarters will no longer launch attacks against the new Marines!"

"Shen Jue, kid... I hope you don't forget your sense of justice! Hahahaha!"

Shen Jue understood. This was hardly neutrality; it was clearly the two naval leaders using their own methods to withstand immense pressure from the World Government.

This has completely opened a breach for the arrival of a new era.

They cannot directly interfere with the World Government's decisions, but they can use "inaction" to undermine the World Government's encirclement and suppression of the new navy.

"I understand," Shen Jue said in a deep voice. "Thank you both for your understanding."

"Don't thank me too soon," Zhan Guo said in a deep voice. "Shen Jue, since you've chosen this path, show the resolve to bring this era to an end."

"Of course," Shen Jue said.

"Because the order of the new era should not echo the old."

The phone hangs up.

Shen Jue held the Den Den Mushi, feeling the lingering warmth in his hand, and turned to look at Aokiji, Kizaru, and Hina, whose expressions varied.

"Did you hear that?" Shen Jue tossed the Den Den Mushi back onto the table, a smile playing on his lips. "Naval hero Garp and Mr. Sengoku understand us."

Xiaotian led his team to join forces with the Revolutionary Army to declare war on the World Government in the first half of the Grand Line, while Shen Jue attacked pirates in the New World to buy time for development.

The core of this plan lies with Shen Jue himself.

In Shen Jue's view, the only thing about the World Government that he was wary of was the Void King Im, a behind-the-scenes ruler of the World Government who had lived for 800 years.

Based solely on Im's current abilities, Shen Jue has no worries.

But he intends to solve the problem once and for all.

For example, they could gather the strongest warriors on this vast ocean to launch a righteous attack on Im.

To crush the ambitious schemers on this vast sea once more.

Everyone happily and peacefully holds a grand banquet together.

After establishing the goals of the new navy and the next steps in the action plan, former Admirals Kizaru and Aokiji left the temporary operations room full of energy.

The new navy was initially established, and there were many complicated and tedious tasks involved.

Using the naval personnel on Shen Jue's warship as the core, the original naval personnel were temporarily gathered together and transformed into a new navy.

During the day, it took Shen Jue a great deal of effort to appease the captured navy.

Even though it was late at night, Shen Jue was still working on documents in the room that Rina had prepared for him.

Shen Jue was focused on processing documents at a rapid pace when Hina walked into the room carrying some snacks.

Hina, who is usually so capable and calm, had a slightly flushed face at this moment.

"Brother Shen Jue, I want to ask you something," Hina said, mustering her courage. Her hands nervously gripped the hem of her skirt.

Shen Jue put down the documents and smiled as she looked at Hina, who was wearing a lace dress.
