Pirate: I am the nephew of Akainu

Chapter 191 After the War
Zhan Guo looked at Hughes, and the boy's eyes told him that they still had a chance.

During the Dingshang War, the two alternate admirals of the navy, Momotu and Chafu, did not participate because the Warring States Period had other arrangements for them.

The two are now on the only way for Marin Vanduo to go to the new world. If the war reaches the last moment and the Whitebeard Pirates choose to retreat, they will cut off the passage of the pirates and create an opportunity for the navy headquarters to encircle and annihilate.

Of course, when making this plan, Warring States not only considered how they would win, but also considered that the navy would not be able to withstand the attacks of the two imperial regiments.

Although the probability of this is very small, the Warring States Period did not dare to gamble, so the most potential admirals were arranged outside for various reasons.

After all, on such a big occasion, the strength is not up to the general level, and it has little impact on the war.

Sengoku turned his head to look at the battlefield. Marlin Fando was full of injuries. The average quality of the navy was far from that of the Pirates. If this battle hadn't been for the high-end combat power to suppress the pirates, the casualties of the navy would have been very serious.

It is good to fight again, but whether the navy has the ability to fight is a question that the Warring States needs to consider.

"Only let people above the general level be dispatched." Hughes saw the concerns of the Warring States Period: "Three admirals, Lieutenant Admiral Garp and you, plus me and Uncle Yixiao, the seven of us can leave the station."

He didn't count Zefa and others, because these people won't play much role in the follow-up battle.

On the contrary, when they were present, Hughes and the others needed to spend energy to take care of them, and they couldn't let go of their hands and feet.

As for the many cadres and crew members of the pirates, for several natural disaster-level ability users, the number has never been a problem they need to worry about.

Not to mention anything else, Huang Yuan can complete a large-scale harvest of vegetables with an eight-foot Qiong Gouyu.

Zhan Guo was very moved, nodded and said: "Clean the battlefield first, and when they go a little farther, we will follow up."

The Pirates haven't gone too far yet, and the flames of war may affect Marin Fanduo. The current Marin Fanduo cannot be affected by the flames of war.

Similarly, Warring States also needs time for Hughes and Garp to recover from their injuries, and has already sent away some guests with special identities in the top war.

Qiwuhai, in addition to Hancock who left with Luffy, there are also Doflamingo and others here.

Doflamingo, who has a background in the world government, has not left yet, and the navy can't move this person, at least not yet.

Several senior naval officers nodded, and Hughes came to a secluded place to recover his strength. Akainu, who has always loved work, did not go busy, but stood by Hughes.

Although the war is over, Marin Fando still has some unpopular guests. He is worried that Hughes will be attacked by someone.

What's more, the number of emperor-level powerhouses is limited, and most of them are registered, but the world government's general-level powerhouses are not under the supervision of the navy.

With Hughes' current combat power, it is enough to make the world government afraid, and it is not impossible for the other party to do something strange.

Hughes naturally understood Akakenu's intentions, and while feeling the warmth, he said thank you to Akainu.

Akainu didn't answer, and in public, he was as cold as ever.

There are still many things waiting to be dealt with by the Warring States Period, and a kind of high-level navy is leaving one after another.

"By the way, write a written report when you are resting, and explain in detail the problem of the deep sea prison." Before leaving, Zhan Guo said to Hughes: "There are some places that do not need to be described. I respect personal privacy."

Warring States patted Hughes on the shoulder, and he felt that the burden on him was much lighter.

After a short rest, Hughes saw Garp's preoccupied look, so he got up and talked to Garp: "Lieutenant General Garp, what are you thinking?"

Garp shook his head, walked forward, Hughes followed him, he knew that the old man was in a very complicated mood now.

Walking in Marin Fendo, Hughes felt very heavy, and the damage caused by a big battle was greater than he expected.

The wailing wounded, the footsteps of the medical staff running back and forth, and occasionally some cursing at the pirates, and boasting of how many pirates he had killed before.

These are lucky people, even those wounded with missing arms and broken legs, they are also lucky.

After all, compared to those who can never speak, being able to cry and scold is a kind of happiness.

On the square, corpses were lined up neatly waiting for the statistical report from the Military Affairs Department. Whenever a person's identity was confirmed, a white seagull flag would cover their faces.

Seagulls soaring with wings will take their souls on a long voyage, and the surging white waves will be their last long voyage.

"General Sakalski."

Hughes saw Akainu, this resolute man was covering the seagull flag for each identified soldier.

"Send them off for the last time, many of them are my acquaintances." Akaken said with a heavy tone:

"They didn't have to participate in this battle, but in order to leave more seeds for the Navy, they replaced those recruits who had just left the training camp. They are worthy of respect."

Hughes looked solemn, and he understood what Akainu meant.

Akainu is over 50 years old this year, and almost all the navy in his class have passed the 50-year-old threshold, and in the navy's system, 50-year-old is a relatively important threshold.

As long as you reach this age, you will be required to be forced to retire or transfer to the logistics department if you have not reached the position of colonel. This is a safeguard measure of the Navy.

After all, at the age of 50, even in the world of high martial arts like Pirate World, the body function began to decline.

Out of consideration of two factors: ensuring the combat effectiveness of the navy and reducing unnecessary casualties, the retirement threshold of 50 years old was established, which is more than ten years earlier than that of the public institutions of the world government.

Therefore, these people who are called by Akazuki who do not need to participate are those retired veterans.

Some of them were forced to retire because they did not meet the standards, and some were transferred to the logistics department because they were tired of the war. However, because the battlefield determines the future battle of the navy, they took up arms and participated in it.

The purpose is to leave more seeds for the navy, and leave a batch of seeds to open up a new world.

"It's a respectable soldier. I hope to give them a ride with my own hands." Hughes bowed to the remains, took some seagull flags, and covered the faces of these soldiers with Akainu.

Probably because of the conversation between Akainu and Hughes, Garp came back to his senses, and also took up the navy flag to cover the faces of the soldiers.

"Click"

With the shutter of an official Navy reporter, this photo, which the Navy calls inheritance, was taken.

In the photo, the sun is setting, seagulls are flying in the sky, and the dilapidated Marin Fenduo and the vigorous navy echo each other.

In the corner of the photo, three generations of people, old, middle and young, are hiding their faces for the dead soldiers.

The white hair on the head of the naval hero Monkey D. Garp, the determination on the face of Admiral Sakaski, and the hope on the face of the new naval star Polusasius represent the justice passed on from generation to generation in the navy.

This work took a long time, not because of the complex ritual of covering the face, but with a seagull flag.

Of course, it was not because the navy had lost too many people in battle. Most of the corpses left on the battlefield belonged to pirates. With the efforts of Yixiao and Zefa, the battle damage was reduced to a ratio of five to one as much as possible.

The real waste of time is the statistical status of the Military Affairs Department, which is relatively cumbersome and complicated.

Among them, there are quite a few corpses whose faces cannot be identified due to battlefield fighting. They can only be judged to belong to the navy by virtue of the torn navy uniforms on their bodies. Such corpses must be confirmed one by one according to the last reported missing persons.

And when everything was dealt with, Garp's spirit returned to normal.

"I let Ace go, I let Luffy go, I really can't do it, I failed your entrustment." Garp said a little depressed.

He always thought that Hughes asked him to deal with Ace and Luffy to give him a chance to finish it himself, and he failed Hughes' trust.

Therefore, after seeing Hughes, he was always struggling with how to face Hughes. It was not until he covered his face for the soldiers that Garp's heart gradually stabilized.

In the end Garp figured it out, and he did the same thing, killing or cutting you whatever you want.

He wasn't an overly conscientious person, and the navy wouldn't kill Karp because of this, and at worst would be scolded or punished.

This kind of mentality is very similar to the Husky after the demolition of the house.

I did the thing, but master, are you going to kill me? I am the dog you worked so hard to raise!
The analogy may be a little off, but that's the tone of the behavior.

After Garp finished speaking in one breath, Hughes broke out in a cold sweat immediately. He looked around and saw that Akainu, a workaholic, had gone to other things, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay to tell him this kind of thing, but you can't say it in front of Akainu.

He thought the old man's state after the war was very strange before, and it turned out that it was because of this incident.

If it's because of this incident, it's really not a big deal, because Hughes never thought of letting Garp go to stop Ace and the others.

Let Karp handle it, but also let Karp do it himself, and don't make repeated mistakes in the same thing.

As for letting Fire Fist Ace go, Hughes believes that Warring States probably also knows that letting go of Ace is not a big deal.

Moreover, from the perspective of the navy's jurisprudence, Aspen is not up to the death penalty standard, and the navy does not have the law of fathers and sons paying such bastards.

After all, in this era, if any household does not have a few relatives and family members involved in the pirate business, this kind of law cannot be enforced at all.

So after using Ace, Sengoku's attitude towards Ace was very casual, which is why he didn't directly reprimand Garp, why didn't he know his old friend's temperament.

Besides, it's too early to say let go. The first half of the top war ended hastily because of the intervention of the Hundred Beasts Pirates, and the second half has not yet officially started.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, just don't talk about it in front of my uncle." Hughes still planned to build some risk awareness for Garp, and the navy is still a bit honest.

"Why?" Karp asked a little confused.

"Because, with the possible exception of Sakalski, everyone knows about it."

Ever since Aokiji followed Yellow Monkey to learn how to be bad, Hughes felt that the only honest person in the upper echelon of the navy was Akainu.

Hughes likes to communicate with this general, pure and simple, and will not let you write reports.

"Is that so? I thought I had done a big thing secretly." Karp rubbed his head with a smile, and there was even a trace of regret in his words.

In terms of feelings, you always thought that Luffy's level can pass five levels and cut six generals. Everyone is tacit, okay, the water released can almost pile up in the East China Sea.

"So, you don't have to think so much, just put in more effort later." Hughes said to Garp: "We still have a fierce battle to fight later, so don't let the water go in that battle."

On the other hand, the Warring States period has already begun to give post-war speeches, and the civilian staff of the Navy are really poor. The speeches are all a template, and Hughes can almost recite them.

When I came to a lounge, I found that the glass of the doors and windows was shattered. It is estimated that the glass of Marin Fenduo would not be spared. Let everyone blow the cold wind at night.

His current body can no longer be recovered by eating, and there is a limit to the return of life. The cycle of eating and recovering does not exist.

Compared with physical fatigue, Hughes is more mentally exhausted. Every second of a high-intensity battle requires a lot of energy to calculate, not to mention that he has to maintain his fruit ability at all times.

After talking to someone, Hughes leaned back on the chair and took a nap, but fell asleep without knowing it.

I don't know how long he slept, but the clear voice woke him up.

It was the returning Kyle, which surprised Hughes, thinking that the person who woke him up would be Warring States.

With a soft echo, Hughes turned over and got up, and his first reaction was to ask the time: "How long has it been since the end of the top war?"

"Three hours later, we arrived at Marlin Vanduo, and the war was over." Kyle said to Hughes, "Marshal Warring States asked me to wake you up and let you go to the marshal's office to find him."

Hughes nodded and started out of the room.

It was dark outside, and Marin Fenduo was still dilapidated, but the blood and corpses on the ground had disappeared.

Strolling to the port, there are many fires burning here, and the air smells of barbecue, but it is not a bonfire dinner, but the navy is burning the corpses.

Even though the Navy stated that it was possible for the pirates to bring back the corpses of their companions, not many pirates did so, only the Whitebeard Pirates came to claim some, and some affiliated pirates and pirates from the New World abandoned these corpses.

There are even many pirates who did not die. They were only seriously injured and unable to move, but they were abandoned by their companions.

This is the pirate who promotes companionship. The companions they need are only valuable, and losing value is a burden.

Hughes walked past the fire indifferently, even though there were wailing sounds of pirates in the flames, it didn't matter to him.

In the few days after the war, there would often be corpses of pirates floating on the surface of the sea. They all had rotten wounds on their bodies, presumably they were all thrown overboard by their companions.

When he came to the Admiral's office, the three admirals had already arrived, and Yixiao and Garp were standing there waiting for Hughes.

"Sorry, I overslept." Hughes said apologetically.
