Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 232 Conflict in the Marshal’s Office
When the bad news came, Warring States was still correcting documents on the desk, with a thick pile of paper stacked on the corner of the desk.

The goat he raised that could only eat paper pages was driven out by him.

Although he has announced his imminent retirement, the candidate for the Navy Marshal has not been decided for a day, and he will continue his duties as the Navy Marshal at the Navy Headquarters.

Unexpectedly, a phone call interrupted his dream of retiring to the second line of life.

The content that Smoker conveyed in the phone bug made Seng Guo feel shocked that he was dreaming.

Even though Smoker was a serious person who never joked.

After confirming it many times, Sengoku was sure that Smoker was telling the truth.

After hanging up the phone, he held a pen in his hand and stared ahead, as frozen as a plaster statue, unable to even feel the passage of time.

How could it be like this?

This is completely different from the naval future he planned before the "War on Top".

After a while, the door to the Admiral's office banged and was pushed open. Garp rushed in first, followed by He who was walking behind.

A quarter of an hour ago, Warring States contacted the two of them and asked them to come over quickly.

Although it was only a few words, both Garp and He heard the incredible information, immediately put down their work and rushed to the marshal's office.

He first used "Haki·Seeing, Hearing, Color Sense" to confirm that there was no one else in the corridor outside, and then closed the door behind him.

Garp walked straight to Sengoku, put his hands on Sengoku's long table, blew his beard and asked loudly with eyes wide open: "Is what you just said on the phone true?"

Warring States looked up at him and chose to remain silent.

There were too many thoughts that made Sengoku feel exhausted, and he couldn't even answer his questions.

But the silence of the Warring States Period was already the answer.

"how so……"

Garp held his forehead in shock, feeling dizzy for a while, swaying, and then sat on the sofa nearby.

"We shouldn't have agreed to the fight between the two of them." Crane said coldly, "This was a stupid idea, and Davy Jones took advantage of it."

Although she still didn't know the details of Punk Hassad Island, she knew the strength of "Akainu". If it hadn't been for this battle, "Akainu" wouldn't have had a chance to escape.

Garp was stunned for a while, then asked: "Where is the Kuzan? Is he with Smog and the others?"

Warring States finally no longer remained silent this time.

"Smorg said that he and Tina were under the 'curse' of Davy Jones. Among them, his 'curse' was stronger and he was forced to leave to find a solution."

Garp looked confused.

"'Curse'? What's that?"

"It is said that it is an ability that can make people fall into an 'illusion' and attack all directions without distinguishing between friend and foe."

"It actually has this ability?"

However, Garp was not too surprised, because he had been in the navy for so many years and had seen all kinds of strange "devil fruit abilities".

However, Davy Jones's ability obviously does not come from "Devil Fruit", which they have not been able to find out yet.

Sengoku nodded.

"Smorg speculated that the triggering mechanism should be the 'fear mark' due to the tragic defeat to Davy Jones."

"After a period of 'nightmare', a close encounter with Davy Jones will trigger the 'curse'."

When Warring States said this, he let out a long sigh.

He sat on the sofa nearby, folding his hands on his chest, thinking deeply.

"So, it's a good thing for Sakaski that he didn't become a prisoner of the curse."

"Yeah." Warring States adjusted his round glasses.

He thought for a while and asked: "Kuzan left, but what about Tina? How should we deal with her?"

Sengoku stroked his long, tangled beard like braids.

"As long as she is kept out of contact with Davy Jones, she should be fine. However, to be cautious, someone needs to be sent to monitor her condition at all times."

"we can only do this."

Crane nodded helplessly.

She likes Tina very much, and hopes that Tina can play a greater role in the future and become a leading female figure to succeed her.

But now that Tina is in this situation, her future has become bleak. Even if the Navy Headquarters doesn't mind, the World Government will not let her hold a high position.

At this time, Garp clenched his fists and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Heya stood up from the sofa and stopped Garp.

"Everything started because of me. If I had killed Davy Jones at Upside Down Mountain, what happened today wouldn't have happened."

The implication is that Garp wants to end cause and effect. "So you plan to die alone? An admiral, a vice admiral, and a steward died, and an admiral died, plus you, 'Hero' Garp?"

"Even if I die, I will drag Davy Jones on my back!"

Garp glared angrily.

"You are acting out of impulse!" He angrily yelled, "What can you do if you are over 70 years old and almost 80 years old? What Sakaski and Kuzan can't do?"

"Just rely on my pair of fists that have been soaked in 'Rocks'!"

"You don't have Roger by your side anymore!"

"I don't need Roger!"

Crane and Garp were tit for tat, their voices getting louder and louder, as if they were about to tear down the roof.

Warring States slapped the table: "You two, stop arguing!"

He turned to look at Sengoku and fell silent when he saw his gloomy expression.

"Sengoku..." Garp glared at Sengoku and gritted his teeth, "I have to go."

Warring States suddenly stood up from the chair, as powerful as a tiger.

"You can't go. Not only can't you go, you have to stay at the Navy Headquarters to stabilize the morale of the military! The Navy Headquarters can't afford to lose another pillar!"

"Think about those young marines, what kind of situation will they face? Even if you kill Davy Jones, there will still be Kaido, Charlotte Lingling and Shanks watching!"

"Patience! Garp, when we faced Roger, Rocks, 'Whitebeard', and 'Golden Lion' at the same time, wasn't that the same way we came here?"

"If we don't stand in front to protect ourselves from the wind and rain, how can we have the rise of 'Akainu', 'Ao Pheasant' and 'Kizaru'?"

Warring States cursed loudly and felt a little relieved, then he took a long breath and sat back on the chair.

As Garp got older, his face changed several times when he was scolded, but he understood that his old friend was right.

He hesitated for a moment and realized that he was being too reckless, so he turned around and sat back on the sofa.

He saw that Warring States had suppressed Garp, and then he suggested: "The top priority is to bring back Kizaru. We can't let anything happen to him."

"Well, I will have a phone call with the World Government later. You contact Porusalino and ask him to come back immediately and stop getting entangled with the 'Whitebeard remnants' and 'Blackbeard'."

He nodded in agreement.

"Besides that, we also need to investigate Vergo...Smorg said that human experiments are being carried out on Punk Hassad Island, and Vergo is working for the 'Yonko' and the 'Shichibukai'."

"Is he an undercover agent?"

"It should be, but I don't know which force it belongs to. Damn it, there is actually a pirate who can become the vice admiral of the navy! No wonder some previous operations failed."

"I understand, I'll find out."

He nodded, and then thought of Drake, who had no news, and couldn't help but worry about his condition.

From some gossip, she learned that Drake had joined the Davy Jones Pirates on Fish-Man Island.

With her keenness, she immediately realized that Drake was planning to break into the enemy.

But currently, Davy Jones is far more dangerous than imagined. I don’t know if he is safe now.

"Davy Jones..."

With a click, Warring States pinched the pen in his hand. As expected, he still couldn't calm down completely.

"Cap, it seems we can't retire...or, before we retire, we must at least unseat Davy Jones."

Garp looked at Sengoku and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I think so too."

Warring States swept the broken pen into the trash can.

"But we cannot die with Davy Jones now. It would be irresponsible for the future of the Navy."

"We need more power, the power of the 'Shichibukai', the power of 'technology', and the power of young naval soldiers."

"What do you want to do?" He saw that Warring States had already made up his mind, so he asked.

Warring States paused and then said: "I decided to conduct a 'world recruitment' to attract and select more talents and elites to enter the Navy Headquarters."

Both Crane and Garp looked at him in surprise, because once this measure was implemented, it would have advantages and disadvantages.

Advantage, of course, is that it can fill the vacancy in naval combat power in a short period of time, and may even expand combat power.

The disadvantage is that no matter how strict the review is, there will inevitably be a few people with ulterior motives like Vergo. Once they ascend to high positions, they may cause chaos.

Sengoku just looked up at them and knew what they were thinking.

"What you have considered, I have also thought about. It's just that the 'War on the Top' and the 'Battle of Punk Hassad Island' gave me no choice."

Garp and He also understood this and remained silent.

Warring States pinched his eyebrows with his fingers: "He, go prepare an obituary."
