As time passed, Zhan Guo had already entered old age, and his strength and energy were obviously not as good as in previous years.
He is already considering abdicating.
But before abdicating, he was eager to do something big to leave a final touch of glory for his career.
Just like during Marshal Kong's tenure, he captured countless pirates and executed the Pirate King Roger, which was perfect.
Although he was a wise general and lacked some combat power, he also longed to complete his career as a marshal without any regrets.
"What suggestions do you have on this matter?"
Warring States said slowly.
"Perhaps, we should capture this great pirate."
"It can be imagined that once Ace the Fire Fist is captured, it will be a serious deterrent to the Whitebeard Pirates, who are famous in the world!"
A lieutenant general said in a deep voice.
"I think it's inappropriate. If you touch a captain-level figure of the Whitebeard Pirates rashly, it will easily lead to a war between the Navy and them, thus affecting the stability of the entire world!"
"Besides, who can capture a powerful figure like Fire Fist Ace?"
"Send a general?"
Soon, someone spoke.
"Ridiculous, are you afraid of Whitebeard?"
"You're even afraid of a mere Fire Fist Ace, and you're worried about starting a war with pirates?"
"When did our navy become so incompetent?"
A lieutenant general shouted angrily. He had a gray beard and was a well-known hawkish figure even though he was old.
"Impulsiveness will not solve problems, it will only make the world's situation more complicated."
A faint voice sounded.
Looking at the group of lieutenant generals in front of him and listening to the heated exchanges of opinions between both sides and even several parties, Zhan Guo's brows gradually frowned and his expression became a little ugly.
"In my opinion, we should capture Fire Fist Ace and use this as an opportunity!"
"Start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates and completely defeat this oldest and most famous force among the Four Emperors!"
"In this way, we can shock the pirates of the whole world and show the strength of our navy!"
"This is the best solution to this problem!"
A sonorous voice sounded, and Zhan Guo looked forward.
The person who said this was a middle-aged lieutenant general with a firm and resolute look in his eyes, which was somewhat in line with what he was thinking.
"What's the reason?"
he asked aloud.
"First, the cadre-level members of the Four Emperors will not be left alone easily. Give us this opportunity!"
"Fire Fist Ace went out alone. No matter what the reason is, if our navy can seize this opportunity, the chances of capturing him will be very high!"
"Second, among the Four Emperors, although Whitebeard is the most famous and powerful, known as the strongest man in the world, he is also one of the three legendary pirates."
"However, he is old, and with the erosion of time, the hidden illness he had in his youth has inevitably reappeared. Our informant has brought us intelligence."
"This legendary pirate now relies on intravenous drips every day to maintain his life."
"That is to say, he may have been the strongest man before, but now."
After a pause, the lieutenant general laughed.
"But not necessarily!"
Zhan Guo narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.
"Third, the Whitebeard Pirates have no successors. They have a group of captain-level strongmen. They may be old and strong, but they may not be stronger than other royal groups!"
"If we are courageous enough, we have a good chance of defeating this group of old lions!"
The lieutenant general chuckled.
"Old lions?"
Zhan Guo rejected this description, but for a moment he felt it was quite appropriate and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Whitebeard is already very old, and none of the cadres under his command are outstanding enough to inherit the huge family business he has created.
Compared with the other three royal groups, they are still in their prime and are at their most powerful moment. The contrast is indeed obvious.
"So, what about the plan to capture Fire Fist Ace?"
His expression softened a little and he asked.
It was indeed a good suggestion to target the Whitebeard Pirates. If the situation came to that, he would have enough courage to fight a decisive battle with the Four Emperors.
In this way, he would leave a successful and profound mark of glory for his career as a marshal, shock the entire world, and usher in the next era!
It can be imagined that once one of the Four Emperors is eliminated by him, the successor marshal will be able to control the situation in the sea more easily and better in the future.
"Fire Fist Ace was able to quickly grow from a rookie two years ago to the current captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division. It can be imagined that both his talent and strength cannot be underestimated!"
"Therefore, I think the navy should make a detailed plan, focusing on ambushes and group attacks."
"If you don't attack, it's fine. But if you do attack, you must use the force of thunder and lightning to completely defeat the opponent."
"Regarding the selection of personnel, I have suggestions."
When he said this, Zhan Guo suddenly frowned and looked towards the door of the conference room.
"Da da da da da!"
The dull sound of footsteps was heard by the generals present, and expressions of dissatisfaction and anger appeared on their faces.
No one is allowed to interfere in important naval meetings.
"boom!"
The next second, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
A young colonel, dressed elegantly, with his hands on the door handle, looked into the conference room. A group of generals were staring at him, and he couldn't help but tremble.
There is no doubt that being stared at by a group of naval bosses is an extremely terrifying pressure.
But soon, he gritted his teeth and looked at everyone bravely.
Because what I am going to talk about next will cause shock and tremor among the entire naval high-level circles.
"Report, report to Marshal Zhan Guo!"
"We just received news from Impel Down."
"Xia, General Xia Le is coming out!"
Taking a deep breath, the young officer shouted loudly.
"General Xia Le is coming out!"
"The general is coming out!"
"Out!"
The lingering sound echoes endlessly.
The entire conference room suddenly fell into absolute silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
On each face, the angry and indifferent expressions of the previous moment were changing rapidly. Some were terrified, some were shocked, some were dazed, some were numb, and some were excited.
Even Zhan Guo, when he heard the almost forgotten name, felt a little dazed.
His whole body was stiff for a moment, as if his brain was shutting down.
Then, his body shuddered and his eyes stared at the officer in front of him.
"You mean Xia Le?"
The school officer nodded heavily.
"It's General Xia Le!"
"He left half a quarter of an hour ago on the Impel Down supply ship, taking with him the former captain of the Sun Pirates, Fisher Tiger, his former subordinate Colonel Buggy, and a woman named Kuina!"
"what can be confirmed is."
"This is the first time General Xia Le has left Impel Down in nearly a decade!"
The colonel's voice was a little excited and trembling, which made the hearts of the generals beat faster.
At this moment, Zhan Guo silently clenched his fists.
That man.
It's finally back!
Chapter 193 Deja Vu
Summer music!
This is a name with extraordinary significance within the navy, and it is also hidden in the hearts of many people.
Just as Pirate King Roger represents an era, Xia Le represents the ideals deeply buried in the hearts of many people in the navy.
There is no doubt that Xia Le is a great navy.
Every man who knows him will deeply recognize this.
As time passed, people almost forgot about him and the world became peaceful. Until today, this name still echoes in everyone's ears.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Isn't that man in Impel Down?"
"I saw him with my own eyes. His arms were broken and his feet were shackled as he walked into Impel Down!"
"I can still hear his name in my lifetime!"
"A legend in the navy, a man who is almost as famous as a navy hero, has appeared again!"
"This is shocking news for the Navy, no, even for the world."
"..."
For a moment, all the sailors present were shocked, and it seemed that they could not even believe the news for a moment.
You have to know that when they were young, the other party was already the most powerful one in the navy, and was the object of admiration and awe in the hearts of countless people.
Even though they are the same age, this man is still an unattainable dream for them, and they can only vaguely see each other's backs.
At one end of the long table near Sengoku, Kizaru seemed to have just woken up from sleepwalking, with a look of surprise and astonishment on his face.
"I haven't heard that man's name for some years!"
"So, is this good news, or is this a sign of worse things to come?"
When Zhan Guo heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
It can be said that Xia Le has always been accompanied by huge problems. Every war related to him is enough to shock the world.
This man was definitely not one to keep quiet. The equality and justice he followed and advocated had caused a huge storm between the navy and the world.
Even that year, he was determined to change the entire navy and move towards a more correct and just direction. But as time passed, the helplessness of reality made him frustrated again and again.
Justice is not something that can be easily expressed with just one mouth, but is something more complicated hidden.
Even if one is in a high position like the Admiral, he still finds it extremely difficult to enforce true justice.
"Where is he now?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhan Guo asked in a deep voice.
"We have not yet found out the whereabouts of General Xia Le, and the jailer of Push City does not dare to ask more questions."
The school officer said nervously.
"Go down!"
