Vol 4 Chapter 97: Nervous navy

As Xuan left the new world, a big news ignited the whole world again.
It stands to reason that people should have become accustomed to the big news from time to time over the years. But this time the news was extraordinary.
The Roger Pirates, the Pirates that was called a miracle by many pirates, finally successfully set foot on Lovedrew, and successfully returned to the new world after that.
For countless people, this is equivalent to a bolt from the blue. The name of One Piece was added to Roger's body, and for a time the whole Pirate's world was boiling.
For countless years, there have been countless large pirates who have searched for Lavdrew, wanting to be crowned as the One Piece, wanting to be a truly free person in this sea.
But without exception, everyone failed. In the repeated failures, the pirates even doubted the truth of the legend, and the existence of Lovedrew was questioned.
And in this situation, the pirates gradually deviated from their path of chasing their dreams, becoming furious, bloodthirsty, and unhappy.
They began to burn, kill, and looting, and began to do no evil, and they began to attack merchant ships and civilians again and again.
The navy opposes it and takes the maintenance of justice at sea as its mission. In hundreds of years of fighting, pirates have become synonymous with evil.
But there are always people who are special. They stick to their dreams and strive for them.
Even the identity of the pirates cannot hide the dazzling light on them.
There is no doubt that Roger is such a person.
With the discovery of Lavdrew and Roger's coronation, the entire pirate world became excited. They seemed to see the original pirate's goal again, and seemed to have found their own meaning again.
In comparison, the entire navy cannot calm down.
The pirates and the navy are always opposites. Since the other side is active and excited, they must make a statement, otherwise the foundation of the navy's existence will be shaken.
Because of the momentum of the Pirates in the past few years, I heard that the quality of the newly enlisted naval cadets has dropped significantly.
Among Zefa's students, the highest potential is only a potential lieutenant general. This worries the entire senior navy. With this kind of next generation, can they really fight against the growing pirates? Do they really have the power to maintain the justice of the sea?
...
"How's the guy Karp's situation? Is the injury still not healed?" The current marshal of the Navy headquarters said with a serious face.
There are two current generals, Zeng Guo, Zefa, and Navy General Staff Lieutenant General Crane, as well as ten or so lieutenants including Huang Yuan, Qing Pheasant, and Red Dog. They are basically all of the Navy’s headquarters. High level.
The Warring States Period whispered, "No, he has been seriously injured since the first battle with Roger. In addition, he was drifting on the sea alone at the time. It was a miracle that he could be discovered by our navy. It’s dying, and if you can save it, you will die."
"Damn it!" Kong slammed a punch on the table, showing how bad he was at this moment.
"Forget it, leave Kapu alone, what do you think about Roger finding Lovedrew and becoming the One Piece?"
Following Sora's gaze, some lieutenant generals lowered their heads subconsciously.
As the chief of staff, He Qingcough said, "Marshal, I think we must take action on this matter. Since the Battle of the Seven Waters began three years ago, the prestige of our navy has been hit repeatedly, even to the point of crisis.
For hundreds of years, we have been fighting with pirates at sea, protecting the great waterway and even the peace of the world. It depends on our own strength and persistence in justice. However, we must also face the problem of our navy’s overall lack of strength. This sea is too big to accommodate countless pirates. Fortunately, they have never integrated their forces for so many years, and this can be broken by each of us, forming a restraint between each other.
And now, Roger has become the King of Pirates. With his prestige, he may be able to gather a terrifying force beyond imagination, and the balance between us and the Pirate may be broken by this. Therefore, I suggest that the high-level forces should be concentrated to fight Roger! "
"En!" After listening, Kong fell into thought, but did not immediately express his position.
"I don't agree with Lieutenant General Crane's opinion." At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared.
"Oh, do you have different opinions in the Warring States Period?" Kong said softly.
For the Warring States Period, he has special expectations. As Kong's own age continues to grow, he urgently needs someone to step forward to take over the post of Admiral.
But according to the rules of the navy and the world government, the admiral must be selected from among generals. The generals of this generation are only Sengoku and Zefa.
Well, Karp can become a general at any time if he wants to. But the admiral of the Navy never considered Karp.
Oh my god, if Karp were to lead the entire navy, knows what would happen, anyway, it would be a disaster.
In the remaining Warring States and Zefa, Zefa was too old, and his character was a bit extreme because of his young experience, and he was not suitable to become a marshal to lead the navy.
At this time, there is only one Sengoku list left to choose from, so Kong naturally hopes that Sengoku will have more of his own views and stand up and lead the entire navy at a critical time.
"Yes, Marshal." Warring States nodded, "From the current situation, our navy has not yet reached the time when we must make a desperate move. The key lies in Roger."
"Huh?" Sora's eyes condensed, "Go on."
Warring States nodded and continued, "For so many years, it is Karp who has been pursuing Roger, but I have also dealt with Roger several times. He is a thorough dreamer and wants absolute freedom.
It can be said that he has rarely actively attacked the Navy for so many years..."
"Warring States General!" Crane suddenly interrupted at this time, "I must remind you that when Luo Jiedao attacked the navy, he took away Marshal Air's main ship "Philip" at the time."
"Of course I know!" The Warring States snorted, "That's why I said that he rarely attacks, but not never."..
