In a banquet hall in Pangu City, senior navy officials and two retired old guys were sitting at the same table. No one was seated at the surrounding tables.

Garp looked around and said complainingly: "The world has changed. Even the recruits who were interned on my warship a few years ago are qualified to attend this dinner."

"Harm! Just stop talking. Can't you stop your mouth with so much food?"

He rolled his eyes, but the cold reception she received from the Navy today did make her uncomfortable, especially the contrast after several consecutive high-level treatment, which made He miss Skyler extremely.

Thinking of Skyler, He smiled helplessly and shook his head. If Skyler were here at this time and saw this scene, he would probably overturn the dining table in the banquet hall and then destroy Pangu City. .

It's just that it's obviously impossible to pursue those things now. Garp and Sengoku, two retired old guys, can prevent others from doing evil to the navy, but they can't prevent others from alienating them.

Sakaski didn't care about this, or in other words, without anyone's interruption, it was the scene that Sakaski was most looking forward to, so at this time he was enjoying the food even more carelessly than Garp.

Of course, Green Bull was not affected at all, but he was not used to "mealing". In his opinion, this way of consuming nutrients was too inefficient.

If he wanted to get him to eat, he would not bother to open his mouth unless there was a beautiful young lady to feed him. At this time, facing the fine wine and delicacies, he could only separate a few blood-sucking vines from his body to "taste" them.

If it had been four years ago, eight years ago or even 12 years ago, there might have been a young lady feeding him. After all, the Navy's status in world conferences was unprecedentedly high at that time.

It's a pity that it can't be done now. The navy's current status is at its lowest point. Even 24 years ago when the navy's status was at its lowest, its treatment at world conferences was much higher than it is now.

After all, if the navy did not do anything before, it was just incompetence, but now the navy has shown its rebelliousness. To put it bluntly, it is a potential enemy of the world government.

It is impossible to demand preferential treatment from the world government at this time.

Warring States also sighed at this time and said: "Eat, hurry up and leave. If you stay like this, I will want to hit someone."

Hearing this, Zefa and Garp both nodded, but they seemed to agree on different points, and several of them also ate in silence, without any intention of forcing their presence.

Even before the representatives of the participating countries at the world conference arrived, the navy ate and left.

During the World Conference, the Navy had a garrison in Mariejoia. Especially when the Navy had to serve as the escort for the World Conference in the past, the standards of the garrison were also very high.

However, when they arrived at the navy station under the reluctant guidance of the waiter, even Kizaru, who rarely loses his temper, frowned tightly.

Where is the place where the navy should be stationed?It is clearly a dormitory building for Marie Gioia's waiters. There is no lobby or function hall, and many rooms are even dormitories for six or even eight people.

Fortunately, the navy did not have an escort mission this time, so they did not bring many people. They only transferred some members of the No. 20 Sixth Detachment led by Kizaru, and some members of the Garp Detachment.

It's not really to the point where six or eight people are crammed into one room, but the attitude of the World Government is completely a naval mentality.

Of course, this residence was definitely not deliberately arranged by Wulaoxing. After all, no matter how stingy he was, he was still not to the point of stumbling on the navy in such a trivial matter.

More likely, it should be the choice of those who are outsiders in the World Government. After all, those who are not taken seriously by the navy can be "oppressed" by them.

Even... Kizaru changed his mind and thought of some World Government officials who might have deliberately given them small shoes in order to cause trouble for the navy.

Kizaru didn't say it out loud. After all, when he saw the faces of Sengoku and He, he knew that the two of them had guessed it, but they didn't think it was worth mentioning.

Sakaski was constantly adjusting his inner emotions at this time, trying hard to smile, and said: "I remember when I first joined the Navy, the accommodation conditions were similar to here.

You are all from the military, so today is just...remembering the hardships and thinking about the sweets. "

Warring States, who originally had a gloomy expression, smiled after hearing Sakaski's words, turned around and said, "Not bad, Sakaski, you have made great progress."

Zefa and Kizaru also looked at Sakaski in surprise. To be able to say such words was indeed not what Sakaski should be. Green Bull's eyes were full of fanaticism.

Crane and Fujitora seemed to understand something and just stood there silently. Sakaski felt embarrassed when he was looked at like this, scratched his temples and said:

"Ahaha~ This is the content of the speech that Lieutenant General Skyler wrote for me. I just appropriated it."

Hearing Sakaski's laughter and the words that followed, Kizaru retracted his surprised gaze and thought about how his fellow countryman was behaving more and more like the bastards of the older generation.

At this time, Warring States did not retract his approving gaze. Instead, he nodded with more approval and said, "Then you also learned the spirit of it, instead of memorizing the text."

After saying that, Warring States looked at the other people and said, "Well, since our marshal has said this, everyone should stop complaining and remember the bitter things and remember the sweet things... This is really good.

After being in the navy for a long time, it is easy to distance yourself from the original intention and become separated from the people. I have not lived with the people for almost 50 years, and I have forgotten the fatigue of the new recruits.

Just think of it as an opportunity for us, especially Aramaki. You just joined the navy and you should have to sleep in a dormitory with multiple people. Just think of it as an experience today. "

After Sengoku finished speaking with a smile, Green Bull nodded. Even if he was not a genius known for his intelligence, he could still tell that Sengoku was joking to lighten the atmosphere.

As for Fujitora...the reason why Sengoku didn't mention him was because of his age. He was not a young man like Midori, and he had also been in the Zanya detachment for many years.

Coupled with his personality, Sengoku felt that if he didn't speak, Fujitora would probably take the initiative to kill the green bull. Among the three generals, the most mature and steady one is probably the new recruit Fujitora.

Everyone nodded at this time, but Kizaru and Garp turned around at the same time. Before they rested, they had to give instructions to their detachment members. After all, they were officers.

But just when they turned around, they saw a majestic old man walking up the stairs. The old man waved his hand as if there was some stain on it, then looked at Garp and Kizaru who were looking at them, and said:

"Hey, it seems that you are not angry. Why did I hear that as soon as I arrived at the banquet hall, you ran away in anger? Also, who arranged this place?"

Seeing that the old leader was coming, Garp smiled and said, "Marshal Kong!"

"Don't be a marshal, don't be a marshal. Now that the Warring States Period has been retired, you are still thinking about the passionate years when I was in power?"

Kong walked over with a smile, looked at Sakaski and asked, "You're really not angry?"

Sakaski shook his head and said, "There's nothing to be angry about. It's just that the bed is a little short and there aren't many people. It will be fine if the beds are pushed together."

Hearing that Sakaski was seriously discussing the issue of accommodation, Sora was a little bit dumbfounded. This newly appointed marshal really focused on talking about matters as they happened.

"As long as you're not angry." Sora didn't correct him, but said along the way: "I really didn't know about this arrangement in advance. This is my negligence. I will supervise it tomorrow and try to get you to move out as soon as possible.

By the way, I'm here, and there's one more thing. "

Sora said, looking around, as if he wanted to find a place to sit down, but apart from the dormitories, there were only corridors in this building, and there were no functional rooms like a living room at all.

Shaking his head, Sora said: "Let's go to my office, we have something serious to talk about."

Sakaski nodded when he heard this. After all, it was still early, far from the time to rest, and since it was business, he naturally couldn't refuse.

Seeing Sakaski, the others nodded and did not refuse. They followed Sora's footsteps and walked down the dormitory building. Kizaru followed at the end, looking at the backs of the three Sengoku people, and then at Sora's back. , I don’t know what I’m thinking.

The accommodation building was quite far from Sora's office, and Sora had no intention of chatting about serious matters on the road. He just discussed what happened not long ago.

However, regarding the matter of killing the Celestial Dragons, there was only one voice left within the navy, and hearing the determination of Sakaski and others, Sora had nothing to say.

After arriving at Kong's office, everyone discovered that there was already someone in the office. Lu Qi was sitting in Kong's office. When he saw Kong coming back, he also stood up and saluted.

Seeing Lu Qi, there was nothing unusual among Sakaski and the others, but the three Warring States people frowned, and Garp even asked angrily: "Is this kid complaining about the real thing?"

As he spoke, Garp stared at Lu Qi. Lu Qi was the first agent in 38 years who had not been beaten by him after serving as CP0. Garp was wondering whether he should make up for it.

But this thought just flashed through Garp's mind. It wasn't to give him face, or because he didn't dare to cause trouble, but... his grandson Luffy had already completed the task for his grandfather.

Lucci had already been defeated by Luffy two years ago. Rounding it all off, it was equivalent to being defeated by Garp.

Lu Qi was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Garp, and when he saw the looks in Sengoku and Zefa's eyes, he realized that perhaps Garp and the other veterans who stayed behind in Marineland didn't know his identity.

However, Lu Qi had no intention of explaining. After all, he was working for Skyler, not the Navy. He didn't bother to care about the attitude of other people in the Navy towards him.

Kong also waved his hand at this time and said, "I misunderstood, Lu Qi is a good boy."

As soon as Kong finished speaking, the others had not yet responded, but Lu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth first. When can a CP agent who is full of evil be called a good boy?

Kong quickly answered this question: "He was arranged by Skyler. I have also learned about the conflict between you and Mary Joa on the road today. It is indeed not Lu Qi's idea."

Hearing that Lu Qi was arranged by Skyler, Zefa frowned and began to examine the young man in front of him. After all, although his student had a good vision, he sometimes made mistakes.

Skyler brought reliable people like Jinbei, Brooke, and Fujitora to the Navy, but there were also unreliable young people like Eniro.

Especially when he saw that Luqi was younger than Eniru, Zefa's attitude towards inspection became more strict. After looking around, Zefa withdrew his gaze.

Lu Qi, a young man, at least in terms of manners, is much better than the careless Enel. Although he does not have the righteousness of the navy, he is not as annoying as other CP agents.

Warring States was also slightly surprised. He subconsciously looked at He and Kizaru. Seeing that these two people were not surprised at all, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He entrusted many tasks and ideas to these two people, but he did not expect that he would have so many "estrangements" with the navy just after leaving the navy.

You know, he is a retired marshal. Such an important thing happened, but no one wanted to explain it to him.

"Ahaha~"

Garp didn't feel so sad. He smiled and patted Lu Qi on the shoulder. The "skinny" Lu Qi actually didn't move at all under Garp's iron hand. This made Garp nod approvingly and said:

"Young man, that's right. I feel that no matter how reckless my useless grandson is, he will never do something like destroying Justice Island. It must have been arranged by Skyler, right? Hahaha~ She is indeed my daughter."

Kizaru raised his eyebrows, trying to say that Lu Qi had not yet followed Skyler at that time, but he noticed that Lu Qi did not show a trace of denial, which made him very confused.

When exactly Lu Qi was instigated by Skyler, he and Sakaski had some guesses about this at the time. The conclusion was that it was after Justice Island, but that was just a guess.

But now this small detail revealed by Lu Qi made Kizaru feel that his guess was not so accurate.

Kong clapped his hands to attract the attention of everyone with different ideas, and then said: "Everyone is here, let's sit down and talk, Lu Qi, tell them everything you told me."

While Kong was talking, everyone in the navy also sat down. They were not too restrained. Seng Guo and Garp started rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in search of food and drink.

Seeing this scene, Sora didn't stop them. After all, he now has so much tea that he can't finish it. Other departments of the World Government and envoys from the participating countries give him gifts every year.

Sometimes, there will even be some Celestial Dragons who will send gifts. Although most of the Celestial Dragons are materialistic and domineering, there are also a small number of Celestial Dragons who still know how to deal with the world.

Soon, Warring States and Garp found satisfactory tea leaves and began to boil water without any scruples. Lu Qi also said: "There are mainly two things, one is about cp, and the other is about cp." The countries that join the world government.”

Lu Qi paused for a moment and saw several people nodding, obviously listening carefully. As for Sengoku and Garp who were not serious... they retired and had no impact at all, so he continued:

"First of all, it's a cp matter. Tomorrow there will be a cp proposal to purchase Wano's arms..."

Lu Qi looked at Sakaski and said: "I have discussed this matter with Lieutenant General Skyler before, and she should have informed you, but some details were not fully confirmed at the time, so they were not explained clearly.

Tomorrow, cp will propose the purchase of Wano arms on the grounds that the countries joining the world government will strengthen their military strength to resist the revolutionary army. This proposal is within cp's proposal.

It's just that the originally proposed time was not tomorrow, and in order to overthrow me, they also moved the matter forward to tomorrow. By then, the discussion might be launched along with an attack on the navy.

However, I hope that your objections will only remain in words and will in fact prevent the implementation of this proposal. "

After Lucci finished speaking, Sakaski nodded. Skyler and Nurkic had explained this matter to him clearly before.

When the deal between the World Government and Wano is concluded, the gold will belong to the navy, the ships will belong to the navy, and the arms will also belong to the navy. Sakaski will naturally not be able to refuse.

Sengoku raised his head and wanted to say something, but after seeing the reaction of Sakaski and others, Sengoku knew that Sakaski might have known about this matter for a long time, and even the follow-up plans had been made.

As a former marshal, although he has sufficient status, there is no need to overstep at this time. In the worst case, he can just ask He again later.

Seeing that no one objected, Lu Qi nodded and continued: "The next thing is the second thing, about the countries joining the World Government.

In fact, it is not quite accurate to say this. It is more accurate to say that it is the issue of special sponsorship of heavenly gold and military operations in the next four years, or more directly, the issue of the allocation of additional military expenditures.

The revolutionary army, pirates, and the Shichibukai who have regained the bounty all need a large amount of Bailey to restrain them. Before the incident of Vice Admiral Skyler killing the Celestial Dragon, this money should belong to your navy.

But now the situation has changed, and your navy can no longer obtain this money. "

"You mean, your CP wants this money?"

Sakaski asked, but Lu Qi shook his head and said: "No, CP does not have enough strength to digest this money.

If your navy can't get it, and our CP can't get it in full, then most of the new military spending will still go into the world government's finances, but Lieutenant General Skyler won't allow this to happen.

Therefore, there must be a new funding gap so that this money can be fully absorbed. "

After Lu Qi finished speaking, Sakaski frowned. He didn't know how to prevent the money from being transferred to the finance side by the World Government when the Navy couldn't get it and the CP couldn't digest it.

Warring States, who was pouring tea, raised his head, looked at Kong, and said, "Commander Kong, is this why you asked me to bring the pacifists?"

Kong nodded, but did not answer. Instead, he pointed to Lu Qi and asked him to answer the question. Lu Qi also nodded and said:

"Yes. After the Five Old Stars proposed that the world government's participating countries increase their investment in heavenly gold and military special funds, Alabasta, Dressrosa and the Dragon Palace Kingdom took the lead in agreeing.

At the same time, it will also bring up a question, that is, how to spend this money. Then the Navy must cooperate with me and oppose letting this money belong to the CP, but lead it to pacifists. "

Lu Qi said, taking the tea handed by Warring States, taking a sip and putting it down, and then said: "According to my assessment, it is impossible for Wulaoxing to decide the flow of funds on the spot.

The most likely possibility is that the Five Old Stars summoned Commander Kong and me to discuss the value of pacifists, in which I would attack the navy's "loyalty."

Let Goroxing realize that pacifists can replace many of the navy's roles, such as eradicating pirates, dealing with the abolished Shichibukai, and strengthening control of the sea.

You only need to pay a seemingly high fee to obtain the power to replace the navy in a near-buyout manner. As long as your test report on the pacifist is beautiful enough, I believe that the Five Old Stars will pay for it. "

Kong also nodded at this time and said: "I have read the report and it is very beautiful. Don't worry that the Five Old Stars will not agree.

You should all understand that Skyler plans to empty the world government's cash so that the Five Old Stars can continue to pay attention to the navy.

As for the pacifist thing, we only need to wait until Dr. Vegapunk increases investment in the pacifist project in the world government, and Dr. Vegapunk proposes the flaws of the pacifist and cannot be put into use as scheduled, and the Five Old Stars will not be able to use it as scheduled. No more reliance on your navy. "

Sakaski nodded at this time, with a look of enlightenment on his face. He finally understood the whole thing, and felt guilty again for questioning Skyler's inaction.

Vice Admiral Schuyler just didn't publicize everything she did. She didn't forget her commitment to herself and the Navy.

And if things go as smoothly as Lu Qi said, the Navy might really be able to hold on to the fact that the Revolutionary Army will attack Mariejoia in half a month as Kizaru said.

Even when the pacifists cannot be put into use and the cp is short of manpower, it is not necessarily possible that more concessions will be made in order to restore the loyalty of the navy.

Perhaps...Sakaski suddenly thought that Schuyler's plan to have the Revolutionary Army attack Mary Joa half a month later was not to vent his anger, but...

A replica of the Valley of the Gods incident!

Why did Garp suddenly become a naval hero who could beat and scold the Celestial Dragons without much punishment?Isn't the reason just because during the Valley of Gods incident, he defeated the sea overlord Rocks and saved a large number of Tianlong people?

In terms of influence, today's Revolutionary Army is even better than the Rocks Pirates back then. If the Navy can turn the tide after the Revolutionary Army caused a big incident, it might really be able to regain the world. Trust in government.

Just... Sakaski understood that he knew too little about Skyler's plan and could only passively follow the route set by Skyler. The feeling of opacity always made him worry about gains and losses.

In addition, Sakaski always felt that if things developed as he wanted at this time, it would be somewhat peaceful, but he also felt that Lieutenant General Skyler was not that kind of person.

'What's the real plan?Lieutenant General Skyler? '

Sakaski thought to himself.
