Chapter 78 Volunteering?

Listening to the information provided by the Crane Staff, the hearts of the navy generals present all sank, and their brows knitted tightly.

"That is to say... we cannot use warships to conduct large-scale and wide-range searches in the waters near Wano Country?"

Sengoku rested his chin on his intertwined hands, and murmured solemnly.

As a representative of the "wisdom school" in the navy, Sengoku's approach to many things is relatively conservative.

Wano Country is powerful but closed to the outside world, and is very sensitive to the exploration of external forces.

If a large-scale search is carried out near the waters of Wano Country, it will usher in huge political pressure and may also trigger military conflicts.

"No, I don't agree."

Sakaski suddenly spoke in a tough tone.

The cold and hoarse voice, wrapped in murderous intent, swept the entire office in an instant.

Everyone turned to look at him in astonishment.

Sakaski, who was covered in blood-stained bandages, slowly stood up from his seat, biting a lit cigarette in his mouth, staring expressionlessly at Steel Bone Sora on the main seat:

"Marshal Sora, retaking Rogers Darren is of great importance to our navy. If Darren stays in the Beasts Pirates for one more day, the risk he will bear will increase."

"This is not just a matter of face for our navy..."

"Don't forget Darren's devil fruit ability!"

As soon as these words came out, Steel Bone Sora, Sengoku and others all changed their faces slightly.

Yes!

Darren's devil fruit ability...and the potential of the Navy's flying fleet!

No matter what, it is impossible to let Darren fall into Kaido's hands!

Steel Bone Sora took a puff of his cigar, looked at Sakaski deeply, and suddenly said:

"So what are you going to do?"

Sakaski said coldly:

"Send a naval fleet to search the sea area directly! We can even take this opportunity to defeat the Beasts Pirates in one fell swoop!"

"--Absolutely not!" Sengoku stood up suddenly and retorted with a stern face:

"Such a large-scale military operation will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from the Wano country. If it arouses the hostility of the Wano country authorities and leads to a direct war, the consequences will be unpredictable!"

Sakaski sneered at Sengoku, with an extremely tough attitude, and said to the latter unceremoniously:

"General Sengoku, are you so afraid of that closed-door country? A group of samurai who abide by the so-called rules and meaningless etiquette, a group of stubborn The arrogant guy who is self-righteous... can't withstand the navy's artillery fire at all!"

"Besides, hasn't there been a legend about Wano Country opening a country? They can't open a country by themselves, and our navy can help them open the country with cannons."

"As long as we act quickly enough and directly control Wano Country, the government leaders will only praise but not punish!"

Warring States said angrily:

"Sakaski! We don't even know what kind of military power Wano Country has!"

"If we get into a protracted war, our navy's fleet will be isolated and helpless in the New World!"

"If other pirate forces attack us at that time, the fleet's retreat will be directly cut off..."

"——Enough!"

Seeing that Sakaski and Warring States were about to continue arguing, Steel Bone Kong suddenly stopped them in a cold voice.

The veins on his forehead popped up, and his temples ached slightly.

"Sakaski, your idea is too aggressive. The navy is not strong enough to fight Kaido and Wano Country at the same time. The current mission focus is to rescue Darren, not to conquer Wano Country."

"Our navy's responsibility is to fight pirates and protect peace, not to provoke war!"

Sakaski gritted his teeth and finally fell silent.

Sora sighed and continued:

"But Sakaski is right about one thing. Darren is very important to the future development of our navy. Even if there is only a slight possibility, our headquarters will use all means to rescue him."

"But in view of the political sensitivity of the Wano Country authorities, our rescue operation this time must be kept low-key and carried out in secret."

"In that case, I understand, Marshal Kong, please give the order, I can set off at any time." Sakaski said decisively.

Sora shook his head and rejected his proposal.

"No, Sakaski, your injury has not healed yet, and you have no advantage in facing Kaido head-on."

"Moreover, your personality and ability are not suitable for such a rescue mission."

Everyone was silent after hearing this.

Without sufficient military support, rashly entering the New World and sneaking into the territory of the Beast Pirates... the danger of this mission is self-evident.

Kaido's strength is there, even Sakaski suffered a great loss when facing him, and others will be dead if they encounter him.

"Then I will go!"

Zeff said in a deep voice, standing up majestically, with an urgent tone.

Konggu Kong and Sengoku both flashed a trace of surprise in their eyes when they heard this.

They couldn't help but look at each other.

It seems that Zefa really values ​​Darren... He is willing to give up his principle of staying away from military affairs for many years in order to rescue him.

But Konggu Kong still shook his head and said:

"Zeff, the teaching in the training camp is more important. Don't forget that you still have a group of students waiting for your guidance."

Zeff gritted his teeth.

"...Why don't you let me go there?"

At this moment, a slow voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone was stunned, and turned to look at Borsalino who was sitting there picking his nails, wondering if there was something wrong with their hearing.

Even Sengoku's brain crashed for a while, and he scratched his ears in disbelief.

This guy... actually volunteered! ?

Sakaski raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? With your ability, it is indeed a good choice." Ganggukong looked at Borsalino in surprise and said thoughtfully.

Borsalino's devil fruit ability gave him unparalleled flexibility and mobility, and he had an advantage over others in carrying out this kind of rescue mission.

And the most important point is that Darren himself also has the ability to fly long distances.

Borsalino does not need to really confront Kaido head-on, just need to win a chance for Darren, and the two of them can easily evacuate from the battlefield.

This is something Sakaski cannot do.

Just when Ganggukong was about to agree, a messenger ran in hurriedly, out of breath.

"Report, report to Marshal Sora... News has come from the New World..."

He panted:

"Vice Admiral Garp's ship has deviated from its original route and is heading towards Wano Country!"

The moment the words fell,

Zeff and Sengoku's faces froze.

They looked at each other at the same time, both gritting their teeth, and the same thought popped up in their minds:

It's over, Garp, that bastard, got there first!
