The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Most of the places where the Straw Hat Pirates were blown away are rarely visited, and it is quite difficult to get in touch with the outside world. Even if they can get newspapers, the news will be delayed for several days.

Not to mention the members of the East China Sea. Apart from Sanji fighting against the two demons, Luffy, Nami, and Zoro were like kites with broken strings, and had no idea that their beautiful hometown was turning into a purgatory on earth.

"Zhan Guo, please let me go back. You have to believe me. I will find the source of the plague. If the navy does not intervene, the people of the East China Sea will almost die out." Garp's eyes were slightly red, obviously he had shed tears. He entered Marshal Zhan Guo's office, did not mention his position when they met, and slammed the table in front of his good friend.

A super plague suddenly broke out in the East China Sea. Every sick person would become a source of infection. One patient could infect an entire island, and the speed of transmission was faster than the navy could imagine.

The naval base in the East China Sea sent back the last news two days ago, reporting to the naval headquarters that there were infected patients in the base. Since then, contact has been completely lost. It is estimated that everyone in the base is in danger.

As soon as Garp knew about the incident in his hometown, he wanted to return home alone because he didn't want to drag others down. However, he was strictly confined by Marshal Sengoku. The person who was monitoring and guarding the former naval hero was his good apprentice Kuzan.

Zhan Guo frowned as he looked at the report in his hand. This was a distress report from the East Sea Kingdom. Ming Mu had clearly predicted that this plague would occur, but everyone underestimated its severity.

The few words written lightly on the sky were made up of the corpses of countless people. This wave of plague could take away more than 100,000 people, which was more than any war the navy had participated in.

"Garp, get back to the confinement room and don't cause me trouble here. You are a soldier, not a doctor. How many people can you save if you go back to the East China Sea? Look at these photos," Zhan Guo scolded harshly. He opened his drawer and slapped a stack of photos on the table.

Garp bent his old waist and spread out all the photos. The impact of the photos made the naval hero speechless for a long time. "Oh my God, is this a punishment from God?"

This is a set of shocking photos. The patients captured in the photos had ulcers on various parts of their bodies and blood blisters bulging as if they would burst at any time.

The expressions of the infected are painful and distorted, which makes people feel the same way, as if they can feel that their life is worse than death. Sometimes a quick death is just a luxury.

The girl in the photo has severe ulcers on her face, and her bones are almost visible. Her eyes reveal despair and helplessness, as if she is asking: "Why me?"

Another young man was in the early stages of infection. His face was covered with blood blisters and his original features could no longer be seen. His lips were trembling as if he was trying to endure great pain.

The photos made the navy deeply aware of the transmissibility and pathogenicity of the plague, and reminded the Warring States Marshal not to act rashly.

The photos of these infected people were sent to the navy by Morgans, a reporter living in the East China Sea, who used up his last moments to send them to the president, hoping that the president would publish an advertisement in the newspaper to draw more attention to the East China Sea.

It is a pity that Morgans is a businessman and he cannot joke about the future of the newspaper. Moreover, if these shocking photos are published in the newspaper, the sales of the newspaper will soar in a short period of time, but it may bring negative impact in the future.

The Birdman's newspaper did not publish any photos. It only used the smallest space and brief words to describe the plague happening in the East China Sea, reminding people in other sea areas not to go to the East China Sea for the safety of themselves and their families.

As soon as the navy received the photos, Marshal Sengoku dispatched naval warships to guard the entrance of the Grand Line. Once a ship from the East China Sea headed for the Grand Line, it would not have to seek an order to open fire from the navy headquarters.

All ships in the East China Sea must be sunk immediately, and no source of infection must be allowed to enter the Grand Line. Although Zhan Guo's approach is very ruthless, there has not been a single case in the Grand Line so far, and only a small number of people can be sacrificed for the sake of the overall situation.

When Garp and Sengoku had a disagreement, unexpectedly, Artoria did not teach swordsmanship to the students today, but knocked on the door and entered the Navy Marshal's room.

When Zhan Guo saw the determined look on Altria's face, he knew that something was wrong. Someone must have leaked the news to the knight girl, letting her know that there was a plague in the East China Sea.

"Marshal Sengoku, I apply to return to the East China Sea with Vice Admiral Garp. First, he and I are both from the East China Sea. Second, the navy cannot give up the East China Sea. The navy must stand up and win over the hearts of the people at the critical moment." Altria Pendragon did not want to quarrel with Marshal Sengoku. She was just informing the old man that she had decided to take a ship to the East China Sea in the next two days.

Artoria personally investigated the severity of the plague in the East China Sea and passed the most detailed information to the Navy Headquarters. She did this in order to change the Navy's inherent ideas.

As soldiers, the navy should not have their minds full of pirates. They should not shout about justice but only know how to destroy and not build. If they continue to hold the previous attitude of watching people in danger and not helping, the impression of the navy in the hearts of the people will only become worse and worse.

The navy has done so many dirty deeds that even Marshal Sengoku can't remember them all. It has been compromising with the World Government and forcing a strong bond with the Celestial Dragons. But sooner or later, this broken ship of the World Government will run aground and sink with the navy, and it will be too late to turn back by then.

Altria wants to win back the hearts of the people for the navy. Even if she kills all the pirates in the world, what does that matter? If the fundamental problem is not solved, pirates will continue to appear. Killing people is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one.

Garp stood firmly with the knight girl. As a fellow native of the East China Sea, Altria's opinion was his opinion. He could even get a group of navy men from the East China Sea to return to Gujiang with him to solve the plague.

Zhan Guo rubbed his temple, which was about to burst, and looked at the upright man and woman in front of him. Knowing that forceful tactics were useless, he began to speak softly: "I'm not standing by and watching you die. I have no objection to you being heroes, but have you ever thought about what the navy will do next if you two are infected with the plague?"

As the admiral of the navy, he must be responsible for the navy. The navy's top combat forces must not be lost. Even if all the people below are killed, they can be recruited again.

People like Garp and Altria are hard to come by to join the navy camp, and the navy is almost keeping them on display, fearing that something might happen to them.

"The plague broke out too suddenly. I feel that this is not a disease. It goes against the common sense of biology. There must be other forces involved behind this." Altria's eyes were full of wisdom. Although she was far away in Marinford, the headquarters of the navy, she seemed to be able to see through the fog covering the sky over the East China Sea.

The Navy needs a powerful ally to intervene in the East China Sea plague and share the risks together.
