One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

“Kahn…”

Zephyr thought to himself, "This isn't my fault. I can't betray the Navy. I discovered Garp's affair by accident... Didn't you also discover it? Although Garp brought that child to the Navy, making it difficult for you to deal with, it's a headache for us Navy as well."

Not far away.

Several people watched Zefa's predicament but did not offer to help.

“Kahn”.

Katakuri asked, "Are we bullying an honest person?"

"Ah."

Kahn answered without expression.

He was angry.

The kind that can't be coaxed.

It's outrageous that Zephyr didn't tell him this news. If Shiki the Golden Lion hadn't accidentally discovered Garp's movements, he wouldn't have known that Garp had taken Roger's child to the East Blue and hidden him in another town.

All that effort he put into watching Windmill Town was for nothing. That bastard Garp didn't even leave his child in Windmill Town to be raised. Garp's own grandson, Monkey D. Luffy, was taken to another place to be raised.

Both of his grandsons have now been taken to Navy Headquarters.

It's very difficult to get rid of Roger's bloodline.

There is only one relatively good approach now, which is to declare war on the navy directly.

Chapter 358 A Different Kind of Marineford War!

Mary Geoise.

CP0 discovered information about Garp secretly possessing Roger's bloodline, which greatly surprised the Five Elders.

This naval hero is incredibly bold.

A navy officer made a deal with that bastard Roger.

"Our chance has come."

The Five Elders of the Golden Beard spoke up: "Naval hero Garp has kept Roger's bloodline hidden away and brought that sinful and lowly bloodline back to Marine Headquarters for protection. The remnants of Rocks will definitely not let go of anyone related to Roger, and there will inevitably be a conflict with Marine Headquarters, or even a major fight between the two sides."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, we should cooperate with the Navy to eliminate the threat of Kahn. Although his elevation of the status of half-Celestial Dragons is somewhat beneficial to us, his actions always give me a bad feeling. We need to deal with him as soon as possible, otherwise it will inevitably lead to disaster."

"..."

The other five elders fell silent. They had never really known how to deal with Kahn, or rather, how to handle the issues surrounding Kahn.

The main problem was that Kahn's behavior always seemed out of line, yet somehow harmless. He kept teetering on the edge of their defenses, and after a while, it made them feel uncomfortable.

But Lord Im just wanted to keep playing with Kahn.

They couldn't very well tell Lord Im what to do.

"I'd rather get rid of that bastard Garp than Kahn."

The five elders, one with a sword, the other bald, and the other without a beard, offered a different opinion: "What do you think about deepening the conflict between the Navy Headquarters and the remnants of Rocks, making them go to war, preferably a fierce one, killing all the disobedient Navy high-ranking officers like Garp, and replacing them with a group of obedient Navy high-ranking officers? That would be more beneficial to us."

"This way, we can better control the navy and weaken the remaining Rocks faction, which is very beneficial to us."

"It's just that going to war between the Navy Headquarters and the remnants of Rocks is quite risky and could easily lead to uncontrollable consequences. Moreover, the pirate alliance is watching us closely, and that madman Red, who is no less than Miller, will definitely take advantage of the situation."

"Our world government's reputation at sea has improved considerably over the years, but most of that good reputation was built up with the help of the Navy Headquarters. I think the Navy Headquarters is becoming increasingly difficult to control; their strength and prestige are too great, especially since the Army is showing signs of decline. The Army is simply no match for the Navy, and the two sides cannot form a balance of power..."

"..."

This Five Elder analyzed various pros and cons, all from the perspective of the World Government and their interests.

The other five elders agreed.

They also didn't want the Navy Headquarters to become too powerful, but the Army was incompetent and couldn't form a balance of power with the Navy. The Navy Headquarters was getting a sense of being too big to handle.

The Five Elders absolutely loathed the so-called 'Naval Hero' Garp. The more they looked at him, the more they disliked him, and they wished they could kill him. However, Garp's prestige and reputation as a 'Naval Hero' were too high.

It's difficult to handle.

"The pirate alliance is indeed a threat."

The intellectual-looking Five Elders interrupted the other Five Elders' argument, saying, "Although Lord Im said he wants to have some fun with Kahn, we still need to help deal with some issues."

"Let's take this opportunity to reorganize the power of the sea. The sea has been quite peaceful recently, and our new system (imitating and drawing on the systems of the Revolutionary Army, the Salvation Army, and Kahn) is very effective. Under our efforts, the entire sea is developing in a better direction."

"But in such a good world, with such a stable order, there are some malignant tumors. We should go and pull out these tumors. We absolutely cannot leave them."

"That bastard Garp did something stupid. This is the perfect opportunity. We should take this chance to get rid of Garp, the Pirate Alliance, the remnants of Rocks' crew, and all other forces."

“Kahn doesn’t hate everything about Roger, so let’s create momentum for them and give Kahn a bigger reason to kill that Roger bloodline. Garp wants to hold onto that kid, right? Then let him drag the entire Marine Headquarters into this mess and have an earth-shattering battle with the Rocks remnants. No matter who wins or loses, it will benefit us.”

"If the Navy wins, then the Navy Headquarters is a force under our World Government. If the Rocks remnants win, we can adopt a policy of appeasement to stabilize Kahn and the other Rocks remnants..."

"..."

The five elders, like intellectuals, spoke eloquently about the most advantageous situation for them.

"But the pirate alliance..."

The Five Old Stars with the mustache asked, "What should we do with them? The pirate alliance is now a force no less powerful than the Rocks Pirates back then, posing a considerable threat to us."

"The Pirate Alliance..."

The Five Elders, who seemed like intellectuals, sneered twice and said ruthlessly, "We'll handle it ourselves. While the Navy Headquarters is fighting the remnants of Rocks, and the whole world's attention is being drawn to them, we'll take the Army, the Holy Knights, and the CP organization to uproot the Pirate Alliance."

"Completely destroy this pirate alliance. Although this pirate alliance is very powerful, as long as we eliminate its main fighting force, the so-called pirate alliance will collapse on its own and will soon disintegrate."

"The surviving members of a dismantled pirate alliance will be hunted down by various forces. Without strong fighting power, a pirate alliance is just a laughable force to be slaughtered and used to vent anger."

"During the great battle between the Marine Headquarters and the remnants of Rocks' crew, we dealt with the pirate alliance as quickly as possible, without any delay, and went directly to the Marine Headquarters to announce that we had destroyed the pirate alliance."

"Even if the Navy Headquarters is defeated and asks why our World Government didn't send reinforcements, we can find a reason to join forces with the Navy Headquarters with the support of the whole world to attack the remnants of Rocks."

"Even if we can't wipe them all out, we can still defeat the remnants of the Rocks gang led by Kahn in front of a live broadcast around the world."

"That is our victory. Without the pirate alliance, the remnants of Rocks' crew led by Kahn are not enough to hold on alone. They will eventually surrender to our World Government and become part of us."

"After the great battle with the remnants of the Rocks gang led by Kahn, the Marine Headquarters will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Garp may even die on this battlefield. This would make it easier for our World Government to control the Marine Headquarters."

"Isn't this a win-win situation?"

"..."

The other five elders nodded in agreement, agreeing that the suggestion from these intellectual elders was excellent.

If successful.

It's all good for them.

…………

a few days later.

The Kingdom of Drums and Porcelain.

"Zefa".

Kahn asked, "Have you read the newspaper?"

"Looked."

Zephyr nodded and said, "This matter has caused quite a stir recently. The whole ocean knows that Garp adopted Roger's child. It's hard for you not to take action. You're not really going to go against our Marine Headquarters, are you?"

"This is clearly a conspiracy by the World Government. You mustn't fall for it."

"..."

Zephyr didn't want to see Kahn storm the gates of Marine Headquarters and confront them head-on; that would be difficult for him to handle.

"It makes sense."

Kahn said, "I'm going to fall for it. If your navy doesn't hand over that kid, I'm going to kill him. I won't let Roger go, and I won't even let Garp go. Don't try to persuade me. If you want to persuade me, get the hell out of here."

"..."

Zephyr said with a dark expression, "I'll go back and try to persuade Garp. Maybe I can convince him to hand over the child."

"Do you really think you can hand it over?"

Kahn sneered, "That's Roger's child, a symbol of the romance between Garp and Roger. If it were any other child, the child of an ordinary person or commoner, Garp would have long since abandoned them. In his eyes, Roger's child's life is far more precious than the lives of other children."

"Can you stop being sarcastic?"

Zephyr replied, "I'm not familiar with Garp."

He was quite saddened because Kahn's words were indeed a bit sarcastic, but they were the truth. That bastard Garp... and Roger, sigh, Zephyr didn't even know how to describe him.

Although he had a good relationship with Kahn, Kahn was different from Roger; Roger was completely insane.

I really don't understand why Garp and Roger are so close.

"Do not worry."

Kahn comforted him, "Zeffa, the World Government is dreaming. Any plan requires cooperation. Without cooperation, the plan is just empty talk. My going to cause trouble for your Navy may not be in line with the World Government's wishes."

"I call this turning the tables on them."

"..."

Zefa looked suspicious. You call this a counter-strategy? Are you sure you don't already have a grudge against their Navy Headquarters and want to cause trouble for them?

"You wait."

Zephyr said goodbye, "I'm going back to Naval Headquarters first. Wait for my good news."

Kahn yawned.

The Navy, for the sake of justice, and with Garp, a naval hero, in the middle, said that if Garp were to get serious and say that the child must be protected, that child could become a naval officer, it would be beneficial to both justice and the Navy.

The Navy Headquarters and all the major naval forces have to give Garp this face.

If they give Garp face, they certainly won't give face to Kahn and the others. After all, in the eyes of the Navy, they are pirates, so why should the Navy give face to pirates? This will only ignite the Navy's fighting spirit.

"Oh~ giggle giggle."

Kaido asked, "Should we wait for Zephyr to bring us good news?"

"Wait my ass."
