Arceus' Pirate Journey

He still had an eye patch on his forehead, but the patch was now soaked by the rain. Although it blocked some of the rain, the swollen patch made him uncomfortable.

"General Kuzan?!"

Kuzan, codenamed Aokiji, is currently the admiral of the Marine Headquarters. After G-1 sent out the request for assistance, support from the headquarters finally arrived here.

Kuzan didn't say anything, but a wave of ice began to spread from under his feet, gradually extending to the head that was biting the flying squirrel. With a roar, the head and the neck behind it all turned into ice.

In order to ensure the safety of the flying squirrel, Kuzan reduced the scope of the freezing to only extend it upwards along the head. As the ice broke, the flying squirrel regained its freedom, but it seemed to be affected by the toxin and its body could not move well.

Finally, with the help of Kuzan, he temporarily moved to a safe place, while the eight-headed evil dragon looked at Kuzan vigilantly, and his body rushed into the clouds again with a flash of flame. The raging fire not only provided speed, but also melted the original ice on his body.

This opponent was more terrifying than the two men combined. Just like the stone that Garp had thrown before, he made it feel a fatal threat.

"Bogard, take the flying squirrel to get treated. He seems to be poisoned. I will deal with this troublesome guy first, and then go to help Mr. Cap."

After taking a quick look at the battle situation, it was unclear who would win between Garp and Kaido for the time being, and this strange dragon was the biggest threat now.

"Yes!"

Today, the three admirals of the headquarters are the backbone of the new generation of the navy. Their monstrous strength has long been certified. Kuzan's arrival is a shot in the arm for all the navy.

Han Bing cannot fly freely like Guang, but his ability to stay in the air is much stronger than that of the flying squirrels.

At the same time, Kaido, who was in a melee with Garp, had already noticed Kuzan's arrival.

"Happy hour is over, Cap, I look forward to seeing you next time."

The eight-headed dragon is no match for Kuzan. When the reinforcements arrive, it is time for him to retreat. Although he has not had enough fun yet, it is almost the end this time.

"I told you not to leave here so easily."

"Hehe, I also said that you can't stop me. This is the navy's territory. But because of this, I can do it without any scruples. There should be several thousand people here, right?"

The number of soldiers stationed in a naval branch varies greatly depending on its size. By the time Smoker became vice admiral, the number of soldiers in the Navy's G-5 branch was only 300.

At that time, Akainu invested a large number of troops in the expedition, leaving not many people for some branches.

And now, the naval forces of the New World have not yet completely withdrawn, and the G-1 branch is the gateway to Mary Geoise, with a permanent force of people.

Kaido gave a sinister smile, and then spewed out a terrifying energy into the sky.

"If you want to stop me, then come and try. If you are willing to sacrifice the lives of all the soldiers here, then come on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Garp understood what Kaido had done. The clouds were torn apart, and meteorites fell towards the G-1 branch. The attack of the Dragon Star Group had arrived.

This is Kaido's conspiracy. Garp can try to choose to keep Kaido with Kuzan, but the success rate is not 100%. However, as long as they make this choice, the G-1 branch will be destroyed by the Dragon Star Swarm he sends out with all his strength.

The previous God Tenman Daijizaiten destroyed many shelters. The damage caused by the eight-headed dragon and the aftermath of the battle between Kaido and Garp meant that this place could no longer withstand the destruction.

As Kaido said this, he ignored Garp and turned into a blue dragon and rushed towards the direction of the eight-headed evil dragon. He had to take this little baby away.

Looking at Kaido going away and the falling meteorites, Garp finally chose to stop the Dragon Stars. It was still the root problem. If Kaido was determined to leave, the chance of success was very high, and he might make huge sacrifices but get no results.

In this situation, Garp could not bear to see the sacrifice of those soldiers. Finally, under Kaido's cover, the eight-headed dragon successfully escaped from Kuzan's hands. The man and the dragon left here in public, leaving only the broken G-1 branch.

......

"Mr. Karp."

Inside the G-1 base, Kuzan used his abilities to freeze the three heads of the eight-headed dragon that were cut off in the battle. Even the surrounding ground was dug up, intending to send it to the scientific forces for research.

"Why are you the only one here? Where's that guy Zhan Guo? I wonder if he doesn't realize this opportunity."

"Borsalino is assisting in the research of the scientific corps, Sakaski is on a mission outside, and Marshal Sengoku... has been ordered to assist in the defense of Marijoa..."

With a sigh, Kuzan explained the situation to Garp.

Admirals are not mascots, they have a lot of tasks to deal with.

However, there is always a general left at the headquarters to deal with emergencies. After receiving the situation of the G-1 branch, Sengoku himself also intended to set off.

Although he is the marshal, the headquarters of the navy is relatively safe and there will be no problem if there is no top-level combat force stationed there for the time being. It would be a good thing if Kaido could be kept.

He obeys the orders of the World Government, but also has his own ideas. However, before he leaves, the World Government's emergency transfer order orders Sengoku to assist in Mary Geoise's defense.

"Does that place need help?"

"It seems that the higher-ups are more concerned about the safety of the Celestial Dragons, and Marshal Zhan Guo can't disobey orders."

"Those bastards..."

Garp angrily punched the wall next to him, cursing at someone unknown, and the price he paid was the destruction of another relatively intact building.

Chapter 724: The Strongest Organization in the Ocean Takes Action

"Vice Admiral Garp, please cooperate with us, otherwise it will be difficult for us to handle it later..."

"Not interested. If you have the time, why don't you investigate something else?"

Several people surrounded Garp timidly, hoping that Garp would cooperate with their actions, but the result was not as expected. No matter what they said, Garp didn't want to pay attention to them.

These people are not special agents, but reporters belonging to the World Government.

Unlike Morgans' World Economic News Agency, these reporters are all penmen for the World Government. They are responsible for writing whatever the World Government wants to see.

As for the place of publication, in addition to some official internal newspapers, the World Economic News Agency is also one of the channels. In addition to letting his subordinates write reports, Morgans also accepts submissions from outsiders.

The attack on the G-1 branch has already happened. The smoke of the battle taking place here can be seen even on the Red Earth Continent. The soldiers present can also see clearly the ships passing by in the nearby sea.

Now they need to rebuild the G-1 branch, comfort the injured soldiers, and provide compensation to the soldiers who died in the battle. What happened here can't be concealed at all. Since it can't be concealed, they have to do a good job of covering it up later.

Kaido attacked the Marine branch and left in public after causing certain casualties. The report certainly couldn't be written in this tone.

If Morgans were to write the story, he would definitely do whatever it takes to attract attention, without caring at all about the impact it would cause. However, there are no reporters in a place like the G-1 branch, so the Navy has the final say.

The evil Kaido was planning a conspiracy, but the brave navy soldiers discovered his conspiracy and stopped him. Kaido, enraged, attacked the G-1 branch for revenge. Under the heroic resistance of the navy, the navy hero Monkey D. Garp arrived at the critical moment.

The headquarters admiral Aokiji followed closely behind and was about to capture Kaido, but the despicable Kaido threatened the lives of the soldiers and finally fled in panic. They had already made up the outline of the story.

There was nothing wrong with the process of the incident, and they couldn't distort the reality that had already happened. They just changed the way it was described. The enemy died from an unknown AOE without even being seen, and died heroically after a heroic struggle. Although both were deaths, the meanings were completely different.

Karp did not object to this point. For those soldiers who had already died, such a statement would actually have more benefits. However, he was unwilling to agree with the behavior of those people.

In order to better demonstrate the bravery of the navy, they hoped that Garp could cooperate in taking a few photos on the ruins to achieve better publicity effect. Although the G-1 branch was seriously damaged, as long as the publicity was proper, it would have a good recruitment effect.

In the end, the reporters did not get what they wanted. Garp ignored them and returned to the intact part of the base under the pretext of treating his wounds.

It's just a minor skin injury, which is nothing. After he eats a few donuts, the injury will be almost healed. Kaido is more trying out some new moves this time. The power of a single move is not particularly strong. In just a few hours, they still have a lot of trump cards.

But Kap knew very well that he had not gained much advantage, and the navy had just suffered huge losses for no reason. He could not accept standing on the ruins and letting these people take fake photos.

......

"What should I do? Without photos, the expression will be too poor."

They have no qualifications to force Garp. Ability is one thing, but for the sake of their own face, they completely suppressed the fact that the navy and pirates joined forces to defeat Rocks, and all the glory was concentrated on Garp alone.

Although he is a well-deserved hero of the navy, this halo allows Garp to be very willful and even more unbridled towards the Celestial Dragons than others. After all, the people he rescued in the beginning included the Celestial Dragons.

The Celestial Dragons are not all brainless idiots. They will also give certain privileges to people like Garp who are extremely powerful and have saved them.

Facing such a Garp, they had no way to deal with it. Ordinary navy officers would still care about their opinions. After all, the pens of these navy officers could really influence a person's reputation.

But Garp is different. Anyone who dares to discredit him is slapping the navy in the face.

"Don't worry, I'm ready."

At this time, a man suddenly came back with a camera. The people around him didn't notice how he appeared, but no one found it strange.

"Ok?"

"I got there before you did. This is a photo of Vice Admiral Garp dealing with the meteorites, and a photo of Kaido "escaping". This is a photo of him rescuing soldiers from the ruins.

Combined with the footage of the surveillance of Den Den Mushi inside the base, it should be enough."

He took out several photos, including one of Garp smashing a large dragon star cluster with his fist, holding a cannonball in his hand to block the flying meteors, and also the scene of him carrying a broken wall and dragging out the buried soldiers.

Kuzan and Kaido also entered his camera.

"Oh, now I can get the job done."

"As usual, I'll take the photos and you guys write the copy."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we understand."

In the reporter team, photographers are undoubtedly the most important, especially the navy photographers, who are elusive and omnipresent, whether it is the Seven Warlords of the Sea or the Four Emperors, whether it is an iceberg, desert or deep sea, as long as a major conflict breaks out, they will be there.

Concealment, disguise, lurking, and getting close are their specialties. There are rumors that some young photographers will even be recruited by the CP department and become powerful intelligence agents after training.

It was easy enough to secretly photograph Garp after the war.

Therefore, what the Beasts Pirates saw on Onigashima was a glorified newspaper that praised Garp's bravery throughout and minimized the impact of the attack on the branch.

But the impact of this incident is far from simple. A new round of undercurrents is surging on the Red Earth Continent.

At this time inside the Hundred Beasts Fruit, ordinary employees were still working as usual, but some careful people discovered that the usual leaders were nowhere to be seen, and Tai Zuoluo was the only one in charge at this time.

He was also adjusting his suit, apparently preparing to go out.

"Stella, don't worry, those people won't do anything. Governor Kaido and Lord Arceus are fine. If they want to fight to the death, they won't talk."

The earphones on his ears were connected to Rotom's body, and he was communicating with Stella.

"Then why did you let the others leave there temporarily?"

"Just in case, and it's good news that they all left safely... Wait a minute, there's a call from Onigashima. I'll contact you after I'm done."

Chapter 725: The Navy’s Reputation is Worthless

"Kaido... you did a great job..."

Not long ago, when the newspaper was circulated, Arceus quickly saw the information brought by Sha Yina. The writing style was obviously the official writing style of the Navy.

What is certain is that Kaido is fine, otherwise the newspapers would have already publicized their victory.

Moreover, the content of the photo is also very clear. The scene of Kaido retreating on the "Eight-Headed Evil Dragon" is still very clear.

Kaido has caused a lot of trouble in the past, but they were all small-scale fights, at most sinking a warship and causing a big commotion in the branch. This time, most of the G-1 branch has been dismantled, and the impact is completely on a different level.

War is a money-burning sport. At this moment, the Beasts need a huge amount of funds for their future development. The Beasts Fruit is a huge tool for making money. Kaido's doing this may cause some bad effects.

It was at this time that Sha Yinna brought new news.

"Lord Arceus, Tezulo just sent a communication, saying that officials from the World Government want to discuss something with him."

"Tell him to go without worry, nothing will happen. Tell him the place, and if he feels something is wrong, go there, someone will pick him up.

As for the content of the conversation, he would accept anything that he thought was reasonable.”

This was the news that Tezulo received. He got a very special address. Before that, he had no idea what it meant.

But he still chose to believe unconditionally.

He was not nervous at all. It was useless to ask him about Kaido's affairs, and there was no news from the Celestial Dragons. Even if the World Government could restrict those officials, it could not control those Celestial Dragons.

Most of the Tianlong people would not care about this kind of thing, but would prioritize their own interests. Even they have no news, so theoretically this won’t be a big deal.

The address Arceus gave him was very ordinary, but there was a hole below leading to a safe area. This was the work of Onix. The people above did not know that an underground passage had been dug on the Red Earth Continent.

They never thought about it, and like termites, it's hard to see the signs until they've done some actual damage.

Soon, Taizuolo was invited to the place of conversation. Seeing that the person in front of him was an old acquaintance, his expression became more natural.

"Oh my, isn't this our old friend? Why do you have such a stern face? Can't you just relax?"

This is the other party's private office, which contains many gold ornaments. These were given to him by Taizulo. Looking at the gold, Taizulo's smile became very sincere. As long as he wanted, these golds affected by his ability could be turned into deadly weapons again.

"Taizuluo, I won't waste my words with you. You and I both know what's going on behind the scenes. The higher-ups are very unhappy this time, and there's nothing I can do."

"Same, I can't stop them from doing anything, so what you mean is..."

Taizuolo tapped his fingers on the table, and the official understood what he meant and smiled.

"We are friends. I said a lot of good things for you at the meeting, but your taxes this year have also increased. After all, the losses are huge."

"I see. I understand..."

If something is broken in a fight, you have to pay for it. This way of handling the matter is very light-hearted and there is no intention to delve into it further.

"Also, there is a verbal agreement that you need to convey. He needs to be more restrained."

He was referring to Kaido, and everyone knew that the World Government did not take the opportunity to ask for some special technology. They had discussed it before, but the Beasts had never agreed to such a deal.

Arceus' previous call gave him a lot of autonomy. After weighing the pros and cons, Tezulo agreed to this request, but there was no paper document. It was not uncommon for the World Government to negotiate with pirates.
