Chapter 39 Roger!
Boom! !
Mary Geoise – Between Powers
The sound of the scepter hitting the ground was deafening.
……
"presumptuous!!"
"He harmed Lothar on the West Blue Live broadcast and then murdered Charmack in the Kingdom of Goa! This madman keeps trampling on the rules!"
"In the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government by twenty kings, no one has ever dared to offend the 'World' like this! To offend the supreme Celestial Dragons!!"
Satan Saint's gaze swept over the blood-stained report on the table; the bloodstains belonged to the person who submitted the report.
His voice was as cold as iron: "This is not an offense, Saint Pittor, but a declaration of war."
"That lucky Lunaria, who escaped the hunt, is trying to declare war on us with his fragile wings."
……
Nasujiro Sei gripped the long sword at his waist, the sound of his fingers rubbing against the scabbard grating on his ears: "I'll go down to the mortal realm."
"I read Borsalino's report; that guy seems to have gained some kind of 'immortality' ability."
"I'll show him just how fragile his pathetic 'immortality' really is."
……
"There's no need."
Saint Vochuli's two white, V-shaped whiskers trembled as he spoke in a low voice: "If we need to set out for a mere brat, what is the point of creating the World Government?"
"On the contrary, it will make those so-called sea emperors and revolutionary armies think we are weak."
"Since they are the Lunaria race, they are not the race predicted, and ultimately they will not be able to cause any trouble."
……
"So we just let him be? It hasn't been that long, and he's already killed two Celestial Dragons!"
Shepard X. Pitt Saint was the one whose emotions were most pronounced, and the first victim, Loso Saint, was his closest descendant by blood.
Therefore, within the Holy Land, rare members of the Bakania tribe were assigned to serve as guards for Losolo.
Sacred Vochuli shook his head, placed one hand on the armrest of the sofa, and said slowly, "That's not what I meant."
"Fisher Tiger's trespassing on the Holy Land is imminent, Dragon's Revolutionary Army is growing stronger, and Charlotte Linlin and Kaido's covetousness of the final island is obvious..."
"More than a decade ago, the navy's power was about to exceed our control, and we had no choice but to contain it."
The five men exchanged glances, recalling the actions they had taken against the navy years ago.
Back then, the Navy had Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, and Fleet Admiral Kong was not yet old, while a new generation of talents like Sakazuki were emerging.
The navy's strength made them feel a great threat, so they did some things against the navy.
"The plan to form the Seven Warlords of the Sea by having powerful pirates maintain the balance of the seas hasn't yielded significant results yet, I think..."
"It is necessary to loosen some of the constraints on the navy."
"Regarding the matter of that Lunarian remnant, I think it's best to entrust it entirely to Sengoku; he would be an excellent marshal."
"He handled Roger's matter very well back then; compared to that, this is just a minor issue now."
What do you think?
Wally looked at the others, and the five of them exchanged glances, reaching a consensus.
"Well... let's leave it at that."

Marine Headquarters - Marineford.
Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi, his brows furrowed together.
"Is he crazy...?"
He wasn't unfamiliar with the deaths of Celestial Dragons; the number of Celestial Dragons who died in God Valley could be enough to form a company.
But no matter what, killing a Celestial Dragon should be done secretly, right?
At the very least, it shouldn't be broadcast live.
Live streaming is one thing.
Now, a public execution is being staged in front of hundreds of thousands of eyes.
That guy...
What do they even value the lives of the Celestial Dragons for...?
……
Sengoku is loyal to the World Government because, like Garp, he believes that the World Government's existence is necessary for the seas and that the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
However, Sengoku also harbored resentment towards some of the Celestial Dragons' actions and history; otherwise, he wouldn't have recounted the killing game that took place in God Valley to his juniors after his retirement.
If that guy named Hunti were secretly trying to assassinate a Celestial Dragon, Sengoku would be more interested in covering up the truth than in openly hunting him down.
……
The Five Elders have just contacted him and entrusted him with the entire matter. If they can arrest that guy, the World Government can increase its funding for the Navy by 20%.
20%...
That's a huge concept! How many bases could be built? How many soldiers could be recruited? How many islands could be protected?
"Sigh... Being a marshal is much harder than being a general. No wonder Marshal Kong is in such a hurry to retire."
Steelbone was nominally promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, but everyone knew it was a nominal position.
The navy is the largest armed force of the world government, and the admiral of the navy is the most important position with real power.
Sengoku has been the marshal for some time now and has come to understand some of the Five Elders' actions.
balance.
For the Five Elders, balance is of paramount importance, and perhaps it is paramount for any organization.
What was justice during the Warring States period?
Justice reigns supreme!
One of the few possessors of Conqueror's Haki in the Navy, who chased after the Emperor of the Sea, Whitebeard, for decades, and was once the Navy's top combat power on par with Garp!
Before becoming a marshal, he was undoubtedly a hardliner, ruthlessly decisive in his stance against pirates, preferring to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free.
It's important to know that Sakazuki followed him after graduating from the general training camp; he was definitely one of his loyal followers.
It's hard to say that Sakazuki's personality was not influenced by the Warring States period.
……
However, after becoming a marshal, some of Sengoku's actions and measures became more conservative.
He quickly realized that the navy could not be dominated by an extremely powerful faction, as this would lead the great ship of the navy into uncharted territory.
the most important is……
You don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the household.
As construction bills, warship reports, and compensation payments for those who sacrificed their lives came into view...
He began to consider how to achieve the greatest results with the least cost.
The vigorous promotion of Allen at the time was also based on this consideration. In fact, it was a good move, which resulted in an expenditure on publicity and the recruitment of a large number of female naval personnel.
The female navy officer will then inspire some male navy officers who are attracted to beautiful women—perfect!
Sengoku did not expect everyone who joined the navy to be for justice; that was unrealistic.
……
……
At the desk.
Even during the Warring States period, which was said to possess the wisdom of Buddha, it took a long time for him to calm down and relax.
He glanced at another document on the table, and his brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.
"What kind of time is this to come down and cause trouble..."
"Charlia... is she from that family? No wonder..."
Sengoku picked up the document and muttered to himself, "Even among the Celestial Dragons, those guys are considered foolish..."
Bang!
The sudden loud noise made Sengoku's fingers tremble.
"Yo! Sengoku! I've come to get some senbei!"
Seeing Garp kick the door open, Sengoku casually fed the documents to the goat and said impatiently, "If you don't knock next time, I'll..."
After a while, Sengoku didn't know what to threaten Garp with, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Kapu, who was looking for snacks at his desk, glanced at the documents on the table.
"Charlie Palace Lower Guard Confirmed - Branch Colonel..."
Karp picked up the document with his hands covered in crumbs, not reading the text carefully, but staring at the handsome young man smiling on the document.
Hesitated for two seconds...
"Roger!"
The name that suddenly came out of Garp's mouth made Sengoku's pupils shrink sharply.
