Chapter 410: The Warring States General Was So Angry He Almost Fell Into Depression! (Second Watch) (Ch 410)

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
In Marshal Cyborg’s office, General Warring States was arguing with Marshal Cyborg with a gloomy face.
“That guy Donquixote Doflamingo is basically Orgrim’s right-hand man. Although he is not a member of the Warhammer Pirates in name, who doesn’t know how close the relationship between him and Orgrim is? The two of them are almost in the same boat. Now we want to invite him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, what does this mean? Is this considered our navy’s surrender to the Warhammer Pirates?” Sengoku asked with great dissatisfaction.
Marshal Cyborg also looked a little uncomfortable about Doflamingo’s entry into the list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
He also held an opposing opinion.
Because this will indeed affect the reputation of the Navy.
The world will not understand, nor will it be possible for people to know, what kind of deal or other arrangements and deep meanings are involved here or behind this.
They only saw that the Warhammer Pirates dominated the New World and became the Pirate Emperor.
The Marine Headquarters immediately went to flatter Doflamingo and invited him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
What does this look like?
That’s right, I’ve given in, you licker!
With this set of operations, it seemed as if the Navy Headquarters took the initiative to ease relations with the damn pirate Orgrim.
As the admiral of the navy, Cyborg is of course not happy about this kind of thing.
Isn’t this the reason why the Warring States generals were so angry?
But what can I do?
The Navy is so frustrated.
Just like what Orgrim told Doflamingo.
Regarding the matter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he doesn’t need to discuss anything with the navy. He can just talk directly to the Five Elders.
As long as the Five Elders have given their nod, even if your Marine Headquarters has major objections, you have to keep them to yourself!
I, Orgrim, am no longer the Orgrim I once was!
Do you think your navy can continue to shit and piss on my head?
I’m sorry, Marshal Cyborg, General Warring States, but times have changed!
Now it’s my turn to disgust you bastard navy men!
“Sengoku, I don’t want to do this either, but I don’t know what kind of agreement the higher-ups have reached with that bastard Orgrim. Anyway, in a short period of time, we are required to stop all actions and plans against the Warhammer Pirates, and invite Donquixote Doflamingo to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a ‘buffer and bond’ between the World Government and the Warhammer Pirates. This is not a negotiation, it’s an order, do you understand?” Marshal Cyborg shook his head and said helplessly.
Zhan Guo did not ask any more questions. He was just a little angry just now.
Now I have calmed down a little and understand the difficulties of Marshal Cyborg.
Stop all actions and plans against the Warhammer Pirates…
It’s no big deal for the navy. As far as we can see now, Zhan Guo hasn’t arranged any conspiracy against that bastard Orgrim. He just did some tricks on the bounty.
It can even be said that this pace is somewhat consistent with the ideas of the Warring States Period.
It is impossible for the World Government to take a stance of not fighting back when being beaten, so it can be seen that, although nothing is said explicitly, it seems that as long as their navy does not take the initiative to provoke that bastard Orgrim.
Orgrim and the Five Elders should have reached an agreement not to take the initiative to attack their world government and navy.
This is a factor that is conducive to the stable development of the navy in the future.
But I still can’t get angry!
The main problem is that damn Doflamingo. If he didn’t have any close relationship with Orgrim, he would have been given one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Anyway, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are a mess, and Sengoku only intends to train one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who can be used as a special means.
That person couldn’t be Doflamingo.
It’s Red-Haired Shanks, but now they can’t even find Red-Haired Shanks.
Not to mention talking to him about this kind of thing.
Therefore, at present, this plan is still a fantasy.
“In short… now that things have come to this, our Navy Headquarters has no room for mediation. We can only grit our teeth and accept it. You must implement this matter as soon as possible. The higher-ups are urging us to do so urgently.” Marshal Steel gave another instruction.
The Warring States general nodded dully at first, and could only endure this humiliation.
But soon, he asked again: “What happened? Why are you so anxious? Is it related to the large amount of dark funds that the Warhammer Pirates have recently gathered in Avalon? Did Orgrim bribe the World Government with this trillion-scale fund? Or… financial blackmail?”
If that bastard Orgrim is really rich, he can pay a trillion berries to bribe the world government…
As for this matter, I, Zhan Guo, have nothing to say.
After all, you have money, you are the father.
He might even be envious, thinking, why do you go through so much trouble? If you paid 1 trillion berries to buy a position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you wouldn’t have to ask the World Government or the Five Elders for help!
You can come to our navy! I, Sengoku, don’t mind your identity as a pirate. After all, young people are bound to make mistakes. As long as you pay enough, I can even recommend you to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
If this is true, Sengoku will have to consider whether he should contact that bastard Orgrim and ask him if he still wants to buy the position of Shichibukai. If so, he still has three vacancies.
There’s no need to give so much. If you package them together and sell them for 2 trillion Baileys, Zhan Guo would wake up laughing in his dreams.
Two trillion Baileys! How many warships would that require?
It’s enough for him to build five to ten naval bases in the New World!
And it’s of high standard!
Cyborg didn’t expect that this guy, Zhan Guo, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a bastard who fell into the money bag.
But this…can we blame the Warring States period?
No wonder, he wasn’t planning to put all the money into his own pocket. He was still thinking about the navy.
As the only general, and someone who will sooner or later become a marshal in the future.
For the sake of the navy, Zhan Guo was able to put aside his own moral principles.
But these are just his fantasies. Orgrim must have something wrong with his brain to spend 2 trillion to buy the spot of the Seven Warlords of the Sea from Sengoku.
“It’s not bribery, nor is it financial blackmail…” Marshal Cyborg said softly, then paused and spoke a little unnaturally: “According to my inside information, perhaps the higher-ups want to join forces with Orgrim to do big business in the North Sea… in Frevans.”
“Frevans?” Zhan Guo was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, “Platinum lead? Platinum lead disease?”
There have been small-scale outbreaks of platinum-lead disease, but it has not yet become a major issue.
Due to the concealment of huge wealth, no Frevans people paid attention to it.
But as a naval admiral, Zhan Guo knew some of the truth.
“That’s about right…” Marshal Cyborg nodded.
“This…Isn’t the government planning to carry out humanitarian aid? After all, Frevans is also a member country!” General Sengoku asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Marshal Cyborg shook his head, looked at Zhan Guo and said: “If there is humanitarian aid, do you think they will get involved with that bastard Orgrim? For the World Government and Orgrim, the fallen Frevans are the valuable Frevans. It’s cruel…”
“Our navy can…” Admiral Sengoku couldn’t help but speak.
“Stop talking. It’s possible, but we can’t do it. Our superiors don’t allow us to interfere in this matter. Frevans’ wealth is too staggering. No one can bear such temptation… If the navy interferes recklessly and affects the plans above, although it is ill-gotten gains stained with blood and lives, they may lose trillions of Baileys in profits. This is enough to make you and me resign!” Marshal Cyborg said without hesitation.
Zhan Guo’s expression was still somewhat conflicted, but in the end, he knew that there was nothing he could do.
The Navy is the overlord of the sea, what a prestigious title.
But how many people know the difficulties of the navy?
Without an independent source of funding, they can only rely on the World Government, and over the past eight hundred years, the World Government has put countless reins on their navy.
Military spending is no longer the only means to check and balance them.
But they only need to spend military funds to make the navy, the overlord of the sea… behave like a watchdog.
It’s just so frustrating!
“It’s really a misfortune of the times. How low will the world government fall?” General Sengoku couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Cyborg’s expression suddenly changed, but then relaxed again. Fortunately, this was his office and there were no outsiders here.
If what Sengoku said were to reach the ears of the Five Elder Stars, he would have no chance of becoming a naval marshal.
“After great chaos, there will be great order. This is the experience given by history. The world government has fallen into darkness before, but there will always be a time of clarity. You are right. This is the misfortune of the times. But no matter what, those five still have great ambitions… There is no doubt about this. It just takes time and pain.” Marshal Cyborg said with some emotion.
The world has fallen into darkness more than once or twice.
For human beings, more than 800 years is too long, and the world government has become more corrupt than it is now, but in the end they still survived.
I don’t know whether this statement, “After great chaos, there will be great order,” is true or false, but it is indeed an experience summarized from history.
There are so many big guys in the navy, such as Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr.
They are all people with lofty ideals, not blind. Why, even though they clearly see the corruption and depravity of the World Government, are they still willing to fight for their entire lives in the Navy?
It’s because of feelings and pursuits.
To put it more bluntly, they may have the ideal of “supporting the country”.
Just like the loyal people of the last dynasty, they always want to restore order and prosperity. Although it seems stupid, you can’t say they have no pursuits.
What’s more, the world government is not really so bad that it has reached the end of its road.
Sengoku and the others all felt that the World Government could still be saved, even Orgrim thought so.
Otherwise, Zhan Guo and the others should have resigned long ago. Wouldn’t it be better to join the revolutionary army?
And to be honest, the Five Elders are neither stupid nor corrupt.
To a certain extent, their direction is very similar to that of the Navy Headquarters.
It’s just that compared to justice, the Five Elders are more eager to consolidate the foundation of the world government.
As the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons, they openly hold the highest authority in the World Government, so of course they hope that the World Government will last forever.
So I am trying my best to change this damn situation.
Because the Five Elders are not stupid, they understand very well that being a ruler is different from being a minister.
Dynasties change, and ministers may be able to change their bosses, but kings are always doomed, okay?
So others can give up saving the corrupt ship of the World Government, but the Five Elders cannot!
Therefore, although the Five Elder Stars have various flaws and darkness.
But it must be said that they are not useless. They are actually trying to find ways to change the terrible current situation of the world government.
And it’s better than what most people do, but the effect is not obvious at the moment.
Zhan Guo actually hated this seemingly correct overall perspective, as if innocent people should be sacrificed for the sake of the overall interests of the world.
This is what happened to Frevans. For the sake of huge profits, countless people will die tragically in this country that is destined to be destroyed.
Perhaps, their death will create huge value and be a bloody feast of capital, enabling the world government to obtain huge amounts of funds in a short period of time.
But is this really…a necessary sacrifice?
Although he hated this kind of overall perspective, Zhan Guo had to admit that this statement always made his conscience a little more at ease.
People are like this, they need to comfort themselves.
He doesn’t need to use this statement to convince others, it is enough to convince himself.
“I understand…” Zhan Guo finally nodded heavily and responded.
He always felt that if he continued doing this, he would suffer from depression sooner or later.
