The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"Please come in,"

When the serious-faced Monkey D. Long pushed open the door, the old man behind the marshal's desk who was immersed in processing documents raised his head.

This very tall, broad-chested, tawny-skinned old man sat there like an indestructible giant fortress, unshakable and insurmountable!

Admiral: Cyborg Sora.

"Don't always keep a straight face."

Marshal Kong had white hair soaring into the sky, and a white beard that looked like the word "mountain" upside down. A smile appeared on his face made of steel, and he waved to the dragon.

"Learn more from your father. Smiling often is the secret to staying healthy... However, you are not allowed to steal my snacks."

···

"Marshal Kong,"

Unlike Monkey D. Garp, who seems to be an 'old naughty boy', Monkey D. Dragon's character is always strict, serious and serious.

"This is information sent from Beihai,"

Handing the information in his hand to the navy marshal in front of him, Long reported with a serious face.

"Vinsmoke launched a war that spread throughout the North Sea and has caused hundreds of thousands of casualties! We must prevent this from happening. Please allow me to go to the North Sea to end this turmoil!"

"Hmm... Vinsmoke Gaji?"

Faced with Long's offer, Navy Marshal Kong slowly read the report in his hand and commented casually.

"I know this kid. He is a member of the illegal research team MADS. Vegapunk also mentioned him. Young people are ambitious and motivated - but let's put this matter aside for now."

?

"Marshal Kong, let me confirm."

"What you just said was: 'Put it aside for now'?"

The stern-faced Long stood as straight as a javelin, with his hands clenched behind his back like a new recruit. He didn't have the casual look of other masters at all.

"right,"

Putting the information about the Vinsmoke family aside, Marshal Kong pulled out a mission sheet.

"Long, you came just in time."

"New World Information: The Golden Lion Pirates intend to contact the Roger Pirates."

"According to the news from our undercover personnel, the huge fleet of Golden Lion Shiji has blocked the Roger Pirates in the 'Adwall Sea Area' in an attempt to regain them."

"If the Golden Lion succeeds, we may have to face the second 'Rocks Pirates'!"

Golden Lion, Roger, Rayleigh, Barrett...

These are top warriors with a bounty of more than one billion, plus a large number of domineering and skilled billions of pirates from the Roger Pirates, and a huge fleet from the Golden Lion Pirates.

The combination of the two will immediately become a serious problem for the navy!

"Long, you and Garp go together, we must not allow the two pirate groups to unite!"

···

Facing the document handed to him, Long did not take it, but asked again.

"Who will deal with the Vinsmoke family in Beihai?"

···

For a moment, the air in the Marshal's office seemed to freeze!

After a few seconds, Sora took back the document in his hand and replied lightly.

"No one is going to deal with it."

? ?

"Marshal Kong, let me confirm."

"What you just said was: 'No one is going to deal with it'?"

Although his expression remained the same as before, the uncontrollable domineering energy in Long's body began to dissipate, which meant that his mood was by no means as calm as on the surface.

"That's right,"

The navy marshal, who was wearing a navy marshal's coat and a sleeveless black shirt decorated with medals, revealing arm muscles that looked like they were made of alloy, nodded and spoke every word.

"I will not send anyone to Beihai,"

"Do you understand? Lieutenant General Long!"

···

After saying that, Marshal Kong, nicknamed "Steel Bone", sighed, softened his tone, and explained to the future pillar of the navy in front of him:

"The Vinsmoke family attacks all 'non-franchised countries'."

"'Non-member countries' have neither paid 'heavenly gold' to the World Government nor allowed our navy to establish bases in their waters, so we have no obligation or responsibility to help them resist the attack of the Vinsmoke family."

"At the same time, the Vinsmoke family donated a large number of Baileys, playthings, and women to the Celestial Dragons... World Government. So, you should understand what I mean."

To put it simply, whether a non-joining country is alive or dead has nothing to do with the navy!

"So, what about this one?"

Facing Marshal Kong's explanation, the serious Long raised his hand and pointed at the plaque hanging on the Marshal's back.Above are two big characters with dragons and phoenixes dancing:

justice!

"Can we turn a blind eye to the 'justice' we bear?"

It’s not that the dragons are entangled and don’t know the consequences of joining forces between the Golden Lion and the Roger Pirates.

But the marshal in front of him made it clear that no one would go to the North Sea, and under the attacks of the Vinsmoke family, thousands of civilians disappeared every day.

"Justice, huh,"

Looking back at the plaque behind him, the burly Kong smiled.

"Okay, Lieutenant General Long."

"I'm here to talk to you about 'justice'."

"A great man once said, 'If you don't mention your position, just talking about justice is like being a hooligan.'"

As he spoke, Marshal Kong put down his work and rarely leaned on the seat behind him.

"The law of the jungle is the nature of living things."

"When a wolf captures a sheep, this is 'just' in the eyes of the wolf; when the sheep resists the wolf's predation, this is what is called 'just' in the sheep's eyes."

"A wolf that can catch a sheep is a 'hero' among the wolves."

"A sheep that can stand up to a wolf is a 'hero' among the sheep."

"The navy is a violent institution of the world government. What we need to maintain is the stability and security of the 175 participating countries in the world. Those who do this well are the 'heroes' of our navy."

If a wolf helps a sheep to defend itself against other wolves, it is an outright traitor; if a sheep helps a wolf to capture other sheep, it is also an out-and-out scum!

"Lieutenant General Long, understand your position."

"No one in this world can help everyone, no one can just give without expecting anything in return - that is not a human being at all, that can only be the sun!"

The stubborn young man in front of him made Sora seem to see his past self, and he accidentally let it slip in his excitement.

···

"In short, as long as the Vinsmoke family does not attack the alliance countries, the Navy will not stop any of his actions."

Admiral Kong, who suddenly felt a little unmotivated, waved his hand.

"Go down and rest,"

"I will let the generals Sengoku and Garp handle matters in the Advor Sea area. - Originally this was a 'merit' that paved the way for you to become a general."

"Yes!"

After answering seriously, Long turned around and left.

"Marshal Kong,"

When he walked to the door, he turned around and his eyes flashed.

"···goodbye."

"Go,"

Without questioning the other party's choice of words, Sora began to immerse himself in the documents again.

After Long closed the door, he sighed:

"Garp, your son's temper is exactly the same as yours."

"Of course,"

chew, chew,

The side door next to the marshal's office opened, and a man walked in with a snack in his mouth.

This is a tall, broad-chested, muscular middle-aged man.There is a scar on his left eye, and his short black hair sticks up like a steel needle.

Navy 'Hero' Monkey D. Garp!

"Long is my son! Hahahaha~~"

"stop laughing?"

Kong, who had a headache, rubbed the wrinkles on his forehead.

"Long has expressed dissatisfaction with many of the navy's policies before. This time he allowed the entire North Sea to be plundered by the Vinsmoke family... I have a feeling that we will lose a naval admiral."

"Hahaha, I feel the same way."

In response, Garp just laughed.

"With Long's temper, he will run to Beihai by himself after returning home..."

"stop laughing?!"

Kong, whose blood pressure soared, clutched his chest, wishing he could beat the guy in front of him to death.

"Others don't know, but you still don't know?!"

"Many people on the sea say that we are the 'dogs of the Celestial Dragons', and there are many such voices even in the navy."

"But you and I both know very well that as long as 'that person' is around, the rule of the Celestial Dragons will be unbreakable! In the past 800 years, have there been too few strong men trying to challenge 'that person'? What happened -"

As a result, countless countries have been reduced to the dust of history, but the Holy Land of Mariejoia still stands.

"When a child grows up, he needs to write his own story."

Garp put away the silly smile on his face and shook his head seriously.

"As a parent, all you can do is watch him silently... That's fine."

The former Garp also rushed into the holy land of Mariejoia to seek justice for the world.result:

"Maybe...I said maybe, dragons can do things that we can't?"

Facing his old friend Garp who showed such a 'weak' expression, Kong sighed again, feeling that he was too tired of being a marshal.

"You and Warring States go keep an eye on Golden Lion and Roger and don't let them cause any trouble."

After saying that, Marshal Kong stood up.He grabbed the snack bag from Garp's hand, grabbed a handful of senbei and threw it into his mouth.

"What a shitty world!"

----

Burning butrege,

"Surrender, we surrender!!"

On the roof of the Lord's Mansion, the obese nobleman who was being tortured by Dover burst into tears. His crying voice spread through the entire town through the loudspeaker phone. The soldiers on the dock who were still resisting were stunned, and then the weapons in their hands fell weakly.

"Your lord has surrendered,"

In the center of the huge crisscrossing cracks, Rossi put away the third generation ghost in his hand.

Rossi has benefited a lot from fighting with the opponent. I believe that it won't be long before he can step into the realm of a 'swordsman' with his own strength.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

Although Rossi is not a swordsman, he has the 'Silence Fruit', 'The Three Generations of Ghost', and 'Seeing and Color Haki'. After a fight, it was the general opposite who knelt down on one knee and grabbed the sword inserted into the ground. Keep your posture steady.

"You also surrender, our purpose is not to kill people."

The purpose of the Vinsmoke family is to occupy this country, while the purpose of Rossi and others is to exercise their strength and gain benefits for the Don Quixote family.

Rossi doesn't like meaningless fighting and killing, but at this point in time, cooperating with the Vinsmoke family in Beihai is the wisest choice. This is his justice.

"Huh...you are very powerful,"

Facing the half-grown boy who defeated him in front of him, the general had no resentment.

It's life and death on the battlefield, not to mention that this young man had already held back, otherwise he would have died long ago, and the casualties of the soldiers around him would have been even more horrifying.

——Although Rossi just wanted to find out the secret of 'Flying Slash' through this swordsman.

"Lords can surrender, and soldiers can surrender."

Struggling to stand up, he pulled out his silver sword from the ground, tied it with a sword, and put it on his neck.

"But the general can't surrender, just think that I can't let go of the oath I made -"

puff,

The silver knife slashed across his neck, and the tall figure fell to the ground with blood splattering.

This is the general's 'justice'.
