Chapter 40 Tensions in the East China Sea
Sengoku, seeing that Aokiji on the other end of the Den Den Mushi did not answer, said solemnly again, "That brat who calls himself the Killer has extraordinary potential. Aokiji, you mustn't miss this opportunity!"
Hearing Sengoku's serious words, Aokiji was speechless. Was he really that kind of carefree, irresponsible person?
Sakazuki: "You are ヽ(*???*)?."
But Aokiji still said seriously, "Don't worry! I know what I'm doing, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Uh!
Upon hearing this, Sengoku almost lost his composure and couldn't maintain his serious expression. How dare Aokiji say he had any sense of propriety?
Sengoku coughed, not knowing what to say, to signal Aokiji that it was alright.
Then, I hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Aokiji was puzzled when Fleet Admiral Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi, but he still quickly packed his things and prepared to go to Cocoyasi Village to check it out.
……
Immediately after hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Fleet Admiral Sengoku instructed his communications officer to notify the 16th Division's Navy to send someone to Cocoyasi Village to investigate what had happened.
After the messenger saw that Zhan Guo had spoken, he saluted Marshal Zhan Guo and left the office.
The communications officer was overjoyed as he left the office; he really didn't want to stay there any longer, every minute felt like torture.
After the messenger left the office, the Warring States Marshal muttered to himself, "You brat who calls himself the Killer, I hope you weren't the one who did this, otherwise..."
"I will make you die in this East Sea." As he said this, the coldness and glint in the eyes of the Warring States Marshal could no longer be suppressed and were released.
After leaving the office of the Warring States Marshal, the messenger immediately contacted the messenger of the 16th branch using a Den Den Mushi (a type of telephone phone).
pere pere pere…
The Den Den Mushi was quickly connected; clearly, the 16th Branch Communications Officer had been waiting for orders from headquarters.
The 16th branch's communications officer was overjoyed to receive news from headquarters and immediately inquired, "What instructions does that Warring States Marshal have?"
The communications officer from headquarters didn't waste any words and said seriously, "Marshal Sengoku has ordered you to send people to Cocoyasi Village to investigate first, and then Admiral Aokiji will also go to Cocoyasi Village to investigate this incident."
"What?! Admiral Aokiji!"
When the 16th branch's communications officer heard that General Aokiji would also be going to Cocoyasi Village, he was completely shocked. He never expected that General Aokiji would go to Cocoyasi Village.
That's simply unbelievable!
The head office's correspondents, witnessing the astonishing scene unfolding before the 16th branch's correspondents, didn't find it particularly remarkable.
In fact, if the navy hadn't been humiliated twice in a row, enraging Fleet Admiral Sengoku, he wouldn't have sent Admiral Aokiji.
That's because it's a critical moment. Otherwise, a mere branch colonel wouldn't be worth sending a general (except for Smoker, since he has connections (＾v＾)).
When the 16th branch saw that the head office's communications officer did not reply, they said awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, I was just a little shocked."
The communications officer from headquarters replied, "Admiral Aokiji is currently in Loguetown in the East Blue, he just hasn't shown his face yet. It's normal for you to be shocked."
Upon hearing these words from the headquarters' communications officer, the 16th branch communications officer immediately recalled the invasion of Loguetown a few days ago. It must be that headquarters sent General Aokiji to guard it!
Although the communications officer from the 16th branch had guessed what was going on, he didn't say much. After all, it was a matter for headquarters, and he, a communications officer from the 16th branch, dared not pry too much.
Immediately afterward, the communications officer from the 6th branch and the communications officer from the Navy Headquarters exchanged a few words and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.
After hanging up the phone, the 16th branch's communications officer immediately ran to a branch major and told him about it.
The branch major was so shocked by the words of the 16th branch's correspondent that he was speechless.
He hadn't expected that Colonel Rat would be killed so soon. Furthermore, Admiral Aokiji from headquarters would be heading to that Cocoyasi village to investigate.
A flicker of panic crossed the branch major's eyes as he thought of this, because he and Colonel Rat were birds of a feather.
Although the affairs of Cocoyasi Village were always handled by Colonel Rat, he also participated in many things and received a lot of Berries from Colonel Rat.
The messenger, oblivious to the panic in the branch colonel's eyes, continued reporting on the instructions given by headquarters.
After the 16th branch's correspondent finished speaking, he saw that the branch's major was still standing there in a daze, seemingly not having come to his senses.
He said weakly, "Major, should we now gather the troops and head to Cocoyasi Village, or..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the anxious voice of the branch major.
"Of course, we'll assemble the army and head to Cocosia Village to investigate this incident."
At this moment, the branch colonel slowly came to his senses. He had naturally heard the words of the 16th branch's communications officer, hence the branch major's anxious voice.
At this moment, the branch major only wanted to quickly assemble the troops and go to Cocoyasi Village before General Aokiji could go and find out what had happened. If General Aokiji discovered their Arlong Park (Paradise), it would be troublesome.
Thus, upon the notification from the branch major, the 16th branch base navy quickly assembled an army.
Actually, they didn't need to panic, because Minos was already close to the 16th Branch Naval Base.
Minos's visit to these 16 branches was not just a casual stroll; he was definitely going to collect some kill points before he would stop (＾v＾).
……
The current situation in the East China Sea can be described as extremely turbulent, with Minos massacring pirates and marines in the East China Sea.
Later, Kaido of the Beasts traveled all the way from Wano Country in the New World to try and recruit Minos as his subordinate.
Aokiji also came to Loguetown in the East Blue due to orders from headquarters and concerns for Smoker's safety.
If these three parties were to meet, a terrible battle would surely ensue.
Whether it's Minos's massacre of the Marines, Kaido's subjugation of Minos, or Aokiji's investigation into the death of Colonel Rat of the 16th Branch.
Among these three parties, Minos appears to be at a disadvantage. He killed the Marine's Captain Rat, Aokiji is unwilling to let things end so simply, and the Marine Headquarters is even less willing to allow someone with strength and talent (Mythical Zoan type, Conqueror's Haki) to fully mature.
Kaido, however, was unwilling to give up. He had already intended to recruit Minos as his subordinate, and if he discovered that Minos was powerful, he would definitely have to fight him.
In the New World, everyone knows that Kaido is a war maniac.
Minos was naturally unwilling to compromise with the two powerful figures, Aokiji and Kaido. He hadn't accomplished anything significant since arriving in the pirate world, such as meeting Yukiko of Imnashiro or the peerless beauty of the goddess of the ninja world, so how could he be content? (⌒▽⌒)
Ahem, so a fierce battle in the East China Sea is bound to break out this time.
Minos will not compromise, whether for his own life or for the sake of Im-da-sama Nashiro's Yukiko and the beauty of the goddess of the rabbit, and he will fight his way out (＾v＾).
