However, their actions angered Kahn and his men, giving them a reason to attack their naval headquarters. If they made a wrong move, Kahn would surely destroy the naval headquarters.

Because their naval headquarters is a subordinate agency of the World Government.

In the eyes of the entire ocean.

Their navy is nothing but the lackeys of the World Government.

But what about Ryder, and the World Government...? What are their thoughts? Could it be...?

During the Warring States period, the cranes exchanged a glance.

They realized something ominous was about to happen; a real upheaval was about to begin, and their navy would become the casualties.

But at this moment, no one dared to say it.

It could easily shake the already unstable morale of the navy.

…………

New world.

Near Ryder's territory.

"Kahn."

The Five Elders, who seemed to be intellectuals, spoke up: "He has indeed been hiding his true intentions very well. We should take action as well."

"This is not good."

The Golden-Bearded Elder was the last to read the message and said coldly, "We need to think this over carefully. He actually guessed our actions and sent us a message hoping we would help deal with Ryder and the others."

"What does this mean? This signal is very dangerous. It means that Kahn may have guessed our actions a long time ago, even included us in his calculations, and guessed that we would use the Navy as a pawn!"

"..."

In this era, the pirate era gradually came to an end, and the Navy naturally became less important, so there was no need for its existence.

The Five Elders are very wary of the Navy's strength.

The army, in particular, has been in a slump.

It cannot counterbalance the navy.

Rather than keeping the navy as a potential threat, it's better to abandon this subordinate organization and weaken Kahn, buy time for their actions, and attract the attention of the rest of the world.

I never expected Kahn to guess it.

The Five Elders became wary.

Some of the Five Elders, including Golden Beard, felt a growing sense of unease.

"Hahaha!"

The Five Elders, who seemed to be intellectuals, suddenly burst into laughter: "Isn't this good? It shows that Kahn has no connection with Ryder. He clearly guessed our purpose, yet he sent us the message."

"This proves one thing: we've been wondering whether Kahn was connected to Ryder, and now it seems we have the answer, which is good for us."

"..."

The other five elders also laughed.

No matter how monstrous Kahn is, as long as he has nothing to do with that guy Ryder and treats them well, Kahn and Ryder's forces already have a grudge against each other, and he can't wait to wipe out Ryder's forces.

Guessing that their World Government wanted to abandon the Navy Headquarters, they sent the message, probably also intending to use someone else to do their dirty work.

Borrow their knife.

Eliminate Ryder and all of his forces.

The Five Elders, two Army Generals, the newly appointed Army Marshal, the strongest CP0 member who participated in God Valley, the CP Chief, the Holy Knights Commander, and many other powerful figures are ready to completely annihilate this powerful force and eliminate this thorn in their side.

…………

Naval Headquarters.

Marineford.

Kahn intimidated the Navy's top brass with his hundreds of thousands of troops, making them believe that he had revealed all his trump cards.

This is for the world governments to see.

Most of the people who came to fight were recruited from the army along one route of the Grand Line, as well as troops trained by Alabasta, and some war criminals and criminals captured by the Endless Barrett War Nation who had not yet been reformed...

None of the truly elite personnel cultivated over the years have been brought over.

Kahn never wanted to bring his resources to the forefront to confront the Navy head-on.

no need.

The losses would be too great, making it difficult to deal with the World Government.

All those who came were high-level combatants.

The military units in the Eight Divisions have already taken shape and are specifically designed to deal with the army. They are willing to suffer losses and annihilate the entire army. Kaido, Katakuri, and their elite troops are naturally sent to deal with CP0 and the Holy Knights.

This troop deployment was decided long ago.

King against king, general against general, soldier against soldier.

The final war has not yet begun, so they will not reveal all their trump cards. Coming to the Marine Headquarters is obviously to make the World Government think that they have revealed all their trump cards.

As soon as Kahn finished speaking, many soldiers at the Navy Headquarters felt the pressure. Some high-ranking naval officers were not too keen on fighting this war. In recent years, things have changed rapidly, and all sorts of ideas have emerged, which have also affected the Navy.

Even if the world government has given an order forbidding contact.

But in this extraordinary era, the naval high command would be exposed to new ideas to some extent, and some even took the initiative to seek them out. This group of naval high command was very dissatisfied with Garp for keeping Roger's child.

Especially for Roger's child, their navy is going to war with a terrible enemy.

Moreover, the Five Elders of the World Government had given an order that either that child would be killed, or a group of children would die. Garp knew this, but believed that while one child was innocent, the others were not.

They simply don't understand.

One life is insignificant compared to many lives, let alone that child being Roger's child, the child of a scumbag.

why?

Why would their navy risk their lives for a scumbag's child?

Their navy's lives matter too.

The other party had already given them enough face, bringing a bunch of stupid pirates to their naval headquarters to die, giving their navy a chance to show off their power, and even trying to reason with them.

If we miss this opportunity, then it will be a matter of politeness first, then force; there won't be much room for reasoning.

Facing the gaze of the entire world.

Kahn and his crew have already given the Navy enough face. If the Navy didn't give them face, they would be ignorant. The orthodox pirate era on the high seas has long since disappeared.

What remains are two major forces that exist solely for the purpose of exercising ruling power.

Not pirates!

The two major powers do not acknowledge their status as pirates and have gradually begun to reveal some of the World Government's past history to the outside world, subtly influencing and changing the world, a trend that even the Five Elders of the World Government cannot stop.

There have been many changes over the years.

Their navy is gradually falling behind the times. Pirates are obsolete. In the end, the next thing to be eliminated should be their navy, because the navy is a force that was born because of the existence of pirates.

Without the threat of pirates, their navy is worthless.

Is this war really worth fighting?

Many naval personnel were caught in a dilemma.

"I'm very curious about that child from the Warring States period."

Kahn made a condition: "Bring that child out so I can see him. I want to know what Roger's child looks like. I want to see if it was worth the huge cost your navy went to to save him."

"You all say that the boy has reformed and wants to become a Marine. I want to hear him say for himself whether he wants to become a Marine, after all, his father was the great pirate Roger."

"..."

On the high platform.

Sengoku's face grew even uglier. He had asked Garp and even met the child himself. The child was completely unyielding, determined to become a pirate, and even dragged Garp's grandson into the idea of ​​becoming a pirate as well.

This has led to both Garp's grandson and that scoundrel wanting to become pirates.

No matter how much the high-ranking naval officers tried to persuade him, there was nothing they could do; that brat was determined to become a pirate.

He clearly hates his father, yet he wants to become a pirate.

These high-ranking naval officers simply couldn't understand the boy's thinking. These days, people would rather be bandits than pirates, yet you, a pirate's son who hates that your father is a pirate, still insist on becoming a pirate.

This is also why their navy didn't let that child and Garp's grandson show up; it could easily cause a major blow to their navy's prestige.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Kahn had long suspected this; fate existed in this world, and for the D clan, some things were destiny, but he could use that destiny.

That kid must be a born thief. He had a choice, a chance to become a navy officer, a chance to survive. But some fools are just stubborn and won't give up until they hit a brick wall. He just wants to die. He just wants to be a thief!

Kahn despised this kind of person the most!

People like Wang Zhi, Rocks, Charlotte Linlin, 'Whitebeard' Newgate, Kaido... none of them willingly went to sea to become pirates. They were all pirates who had no choice in their own destiny due to the great era and the great background.

"navy."

Kahn's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said, "I have already given you a chance. Just like what Rocks said during the God Valley War, the Navy and pirates have similar experiences. We are all people who are struggling in this era."

"But some people are different, especially some members of the D clan. They actively pursue so-called freedom for the sake of freedom. They are not forced to become pirates, but rather they choose to do so."

"If I'm not mistaken, that kid wants to be a pirate. He doesn't want to be a marine; he wants to be a thief, thinking that's freedom, that's his dream! He deserves to die!"

"If he really wants to become a Marine, as you say, then let him come out and say it in front of the whole world. Do you dare to do that?"

"If he says he wants to become a Marine, I will publicly apologize to all of you Marines, withdraw from Marine Headquarters, and leave all these pirates to you."

"..."

On the high platform.

Sengoku's eyes kept flashing. Instead of notifying his old comrade Garp, who was fighting fiercely with Shiki and was anxious, he summoned a Marine and called over the boy named Ace. He said some polite words and asked the boy to help the Marines get through this crisis.

Presumably, that child will do this; after all, Garp raised that child for so many years, he should repay the favor in some way.

Garp thought anxiously, "We're doomed! Sengoku, please don't bring Ace out with you! That kid's too stubborn; you can't handle him!!!"
