One Piece: The Human-Human Fruit, it makes sense to be an admiral

Chapter 196 The arrival of the great era, encounter with the revolutionary army!

Before Whitebeard could speak, Marco spoke first:

"Shanks, what do you mean by that?"

"Jock Ian has the Animal-type Human-Human Fruit. Is this a secret?"

"Hasn't the news spread across the ocean a long time ago?"

Judging from what Shanks said, he obviously has his own opinion on this matter.

It seems that he came here this time to bring some secrets.

"Gulala, the wine is quite good, Shanks. It seems you haven't forgotten what I like to drink."

"I also want to remind you to remember what I don't like to hear."

"If you're trying to persuade me to be more careful and provide me with fabricated information, I advise you not to say anything."

Whitebeard said this in an extremely domineering manner, without even thinking about tolerating anyone.

If Jock Ian is really brave enough and wants to take action against Honeycomb Island.

Whitebeard will use the Kusukome-kiri in his hand to tell him why the Whitebeard Pirates have been able to thrive for so many years.

"Hahaha, Captain Whitebeard, don't be angry, I'm not here to meddle in other people's business."

"But I feel that Jock Ian won't make any more moves, at least not now."

Shanks had never come into contact with Ian, and there had been no direct confrontation.

But he can say such words, it seems that Shanks has his own ideas.

Whitebeard continued to drink and said nonchalantly:

"Why should I care? Are you afraid of a little ghost?"

"Being afraid is just your own problem. Think carefully about how to protect yourself."

Shanks continued:

"Captain Whitebeard, don't you think everything has been going too smoothly for Jock Ian since he appeared on the sea?"

"Neither the Navy Headquarters nor Mary Geoise has ever given such great power to a subordinate in all these years."

"I always feel that such a person is not a stable factor in the eyes of the Five Elders of Mary Geoise."

Shanks’ position is different, and his identity is different.

Over the years, what I can see is much clearer than what others can see.

Marco followed Shanks's words and analyzed them:

"If it's really as you said, then the best thing to do at this time is not to stay in his own territory honestly?"

"Why, after all their success, did they still attack Crocodile and Big Mom's gang?"

Shanks looked at Marco with admiration and said:

"Brother Marco, your analysis is very good. That's exactly the truth."

"If he wants to sit comfortably in his position in the navy and hold on to the power he currently holds, he doesn't need to do anything else."

"Unless... he has other purposes!"

Even though no one had any information, Shanks was able to analyze so many things from the situation.

As a pirate, especially as one of the Four Emperors, you generally don't need to think so much.

If pirates have to consider so many things before doing anything, how can they be considered free warriors of the sea?

"Red-haired kid, you'd better make your words clear."

"What does Jock Ian think and what does he want to do have to do with me?"

Whitebeard had no patience to listen to Shanks' stories and analyze a bunch of nonsense.

He just wanted to find out what Shanks' real purpose was in coming to him.

"Captain Whitebeard, I think this matter is related to everyone on the sea."

"Perhaps, a full-scale war will break out on the sea."

"No one in this era is immune!"

Shanks' eyes were burning, he could already smell the scent of a big battle.

It is true that the Navy's proactive mission at sea is to combat pirates.

But under the pretext of fighting pirates, there are many other activities that can be carried out secretly.

If we can really eradicate the pirates, there will be no force on the sea that can compete with the Navy Headquarters.

The original pattern will become extremely unbalanced and can easily go to another extreme.

The World Government has existed for such a long time and absolutely does not want to see this kind of thing happen.

The best way is to weaken the pirate forces but not completely eradicate them.

Taking out Kaido is enough to deter the pirates.

In such a short period of time, he attacked Charlotte Lingling again.

In Shanks' opinion, this must not be the intention of the Marine Headquarters and the World Government.

Ian's personal action is likely to cause considerable controversy.

Even Shanks could see through this kind of thing.

How could Jock Ian, who was in the navy, not know?

This is what Shanks smelled strangely. Perhaps there is a big disagreement between Ian and the World Government.

It is still unknown where the point of disagreement lies.

I believe that it won’t be long before there will be an answer that will reveal all the contradictions.

……

The day after the war ended.

Ian received an order from Zhan Guo.

Ask him to rush to Egg Point Island the next day to conduct follow-up research on Seraphim.

Ian didn't ask where this order came from.

He could have imagined this and had expected this day to come.

Before going to Wanguo, Ian knew that this was most likely the limit of what the Five Elders of Mary Geoise could tolerate.

If there had not been this war in Wano Country, Ian's actions would not have been accelerated.

If you don't come into contact with something or participate in it personally, you can pretend it didn't happen.

Now, I just have to take care of it and intervene.

Ian didn't say much about this.

The devil fruits he has accumulated also need to undergo a wave of transformation.

If he doesn't achieve some results, the Five Elders will definitely not give him more freedom.

At the same time, news came from Big Bear.

After hearing what Big Bear said, the revolutionary army leader Dragon was eager to meet Ian.

If we can reach cooperation with the revolutionary army, the strength of our subordinates will increase significantly.

In the short term, there is no opportunity or time to continue developing loyal subordinates.

The Revolutionary Army, with its existing personnel and configuration, has always wanted to change the world and subvert the rule of the world government.

Ian was not surprised that they were willing to cooperate.

Next.

After meeting, we can have a detailed chat about how to arrange it and who will take the lead.

Ian will never give up the right to deploy troops. He has his own insights and methods for this war.

Without knowing the number of enemies and the specific on-site environment.

We must look at the on-the-spot reaction to get a temporary plan.

He didn't trust that someone who didn't understand Wano Country and didn't have a grasp of the overall situation on the scene could give any special guidance in this operation.

Due to time constraints, Ian could not continue to stay in his branch.

He calculated the sea distance to Danjian Island and agreed with Big Bear to meet on an isolated island in the middle.

The next day at noon.

Ian's vice admiral flagship was faster and arrived at the target location ahead of time.

In order to prevent the news of the meeting from being leaked, Ian did not bring any marines with him on this voyage.

If you go to a secluded place like Danjian Island, even if you bring marines with you, you will be deported after arrival.

Just don't bring anyone else along, and there's no need to say more in the report.

After arriving at the isolated island, Ian conducted a special investigation and found that there were no outsiders on the island.

On an uninhabited island, the leaders of both forces secretly met.

This was the first time Ian had experienced such an interesting thing since he came to the pirate world.

I have already explained the war in Wano Country to my subordinates, and there is nothing to hide about the next action.

When they learned that the person they were going to meet was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, the son of Lieutenant General Garp, everyone was very curious about what kind of person he was.

In recent years, the activities of the revolutionary army have become more and more frequent and can often be seen in newspapers.

In fact, many navy officers did not harbor such great hostility towards the revolutionary army in their hearts.

Because what they are doing is, in a way, helping innocent civilians.

To a certain extent, it even conforms to the navy's philosophy.
