Chapter 228: Shockwaves in the Navy Headquarters!

Chapter 228: Shockwaves in the Navy Headquarters!

Over an hour later, the warship under Smoker's command set sail, carrying everyone towards the Navy Headquarters.

The highest-ranking officer on this ship was originally Smoker.

However, temporarily, it had become Yellow Monkey Admiral!

This uncle of Wang Luofei seemed very curious about Zhao Zheng and planned to accompany him to the Navy Headquarters.

Along the way, Yellow Monkey kept Zhao Zheng by his side, asking him various questions.

Fortunately, Zhao Zheng had some familiarity with the plot and the pirate world, so he could barely answer Yellow Monkey's inquiries.

Nevertheless, with so many questions, there were bound to be some oversights.

Thankfully, they weren't far from the Navy Headquarters.

Before nightfall, the warship smoothly arrived at the Navy Headquarters!

...

"Is this Marineford?" Jiang Hebin and the others gazed at the massive plaza, the gigantic fortress, and the towering Navy Headquarters building, all displaying a look of astonishment.

Especially the two large characters "Navy" on the wall of the towering building, exuding an imposing presence, made them feel the weight of this fortress just by looking at it.

"How did they build this?"

"With the industrial level of this world, it's indeed unbelievable that they could construct such a military fortress."

"Don't forget, this world has giants. Perhaps they helped with the construction?"

"That makes sense..."

Amidst everyone's discussions, the warship docked smoothly.

Soon after, Smoker's deputy, Dasqi, led away all the newcomers to help them settle in.

Of course, Zhao Zheng was not included.

"Brother Zhao, follow me! I'll take you to meet Warlord Admiral Sengoku."

The Yellow Monkey Admiral smiled and said, "I believe Warlord Admiral Sengoku will be delighted to see a strong person like you joining the Navy... and I'll be able to complete my task smoothly."

Perhaps it was due to the influence of the Spiritual Realm.

Before the Summit War, both Whitebeard and Warlord Admiral Sengoku had issued orders to gather powerful individuals.

Many Navy generals, including Yellow Monkey, had received such tasks.

Hearing the Yellow Monkey Admiral's words, Smoker, standing nearby, had something to say.

Zhao Zheng had appeared at the recruitment point under his command, so it should have been his achievement! How shameless of you, Yellow Monkey!

Unfortunately, the other party was an Admiral.

Smoker could only suppress his dissatisfaction.

Subsequently, Zhao Zheng was taken away by the Yellow Monkey Admiral.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Marshal's office, it was bustling with activity.

Many important generals were strategizing for the upcoming war, and some even argued due to differing opinions.

For instance, Admiral Sakazuki suggested that when the Whitebeard Pirates arrived, they should immediately execute Ace, not giving Whitebeard any chance, and forcing the old pirate to watch Ace's execution helplessly!

This suggestion immediately sparked the anger of Vice Admiral Garp.

Ace was like a grandson he had raised with his own hands! Even though they weren't blood-related...

He didn't want to see Ace die a terrible death.

In his heart, Garp secretly hoped that Whitebeard would succeed in rescuing Ace.

If Sengoku were to accept Sakazuki's plan, Ace's death was certain.

"What a foolish suggestion, Sakazuki! Don't forget that we are the Navy, the symbol of justice! If even we don't keep our word, do you want the Navy's reputation to become a laughingstock?"

"Vice Admiral Garp, our opponent this time is Whitebeard! This war has significant implications, and we must not fail! For the victory of this war, we must employ all useful means."

At this point, Sakazuki's tone shifted, and his triangular eyes fixed on Garp, "Or is it that Vice Admiral Garp has personal feelings and doesn't want to see Fire Fist Ace executed?"

"What did you say?"

"You bastard!"

Upon hearing Akainu question his stance, Garp immediately flew into a rage, instantly standing up and rolling up his sleeves as he charged towards Admiral Akainu, "Lava Bastard, I challenge you to a duel!"

"Admiral Garp, calm down."

"Admiral Garp, don't be impulsive."

"Admiral Akainu was just making a suggestion..."

Many of the nearby generals quickly rushed over and restrained the furious Garp.

Garp wasn't truly planning to take action.

Otherwise, with his strength, no one around could hold him back.

However, even so, Warlord Admiral Sengoku's face darkened like the bottom of a pot as he watched the arguing duo.

"Enough!"

He slammed the table and stood up.

Just as Warlord Admiral Sengoku was about to say something, his subordinate suddenly entered the office.

"Admiral, Admiral Yellow Monkey has returned."

The subordinate quickly reported, seeing the tense atmosphere in the office as if they were about to fight, "Admiral Yellow Monkey said he brought a surprise."

"A surprise?"

Please... You... Collect... 6... 9... Books...

Warlord Admiral Sengoku was taken aback.

The others who heard this also showed curious expressions.

...

A moment later.

Zhao Zheng, accompanied by Admiral Yellow Monkey, arrived at the office and saw the group of high-ranking Navy officials.

Warlord Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Akainu, Admiral Garp, and several other Vice Admirals.

They were all big shots at the Naval Headquarters! And among the top powerhouses in the Pirate World! As for Admiral Seiryu, he wasn't present, likely on an external mission and hadn't returned yet.

Zhao Zheng, standing at 1.85 meters tall, was undoubtedly not considered short among the humans of Blue Star.

However, in this office, he appeared thin, small, and frail, unable to withstand the slightest breeze...

"Bepo."

Warlord Admiral Sengoku's gaze swept over Zhao Zheng before asking, "Is this the surprise you brought back?"

Admiral Yellow Monkey immediately spoke up, "Warlord Admiral, don't underestimate him! Despite his ordinary appearance, he's truly a monster!"

The crowd looked at Zhao Zheng in astonishment.

Admiral Yellow Monkey was a Fleet Admiral, and his strength was top-notch. Among the numerous super-powerhouses at the Naval Headquarters, he could at least rank in the top five. If Admiral Yellow Monkey praised him as a monster, it was definitely not a simple matter.

"Is that so?"

Warlord Admiral Sengoku was somewhat uncertain.

Because at this moment, Zhao Zheng had completely restrained his aura, appearing no different from an ordinary person.

At this moment.

Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke up, "Why don't we just give it a try and see?"

Upon hearing these words, everyone frowned.

As a newcomer, Zhao Zheng's words were indeed impolite, lacking the slightest humility expected of a newcomer.

Only Admiral Yellow Monkey showed a faint smile, unbothered.

Powerhouses often had a bit of a temper.

If Zhao Zheng had acted overly humble and ingratiating, he might have suspected him of being a spy sent by Whitebeard.

"Rascal, you seem quite confident!" A Vice Admiral, standing over five meters tall, asked, "What's your name?"

This guy was not only tall but also had an incredibly robust physique.

Compared to him, Zhao Zheng seemed like a mere speck.

"Zhao Zheng."

Zhao Zheng replied calmly.

This Vice Admiral was displeased with Zhao Zheng's attitude, and he was about to say something, but Warlord Admiral Sengoku spoke first.

"Bepo, since his strength is impressive, just assign him a suitable position."

"Warlord Admiral, this is the dilemma I'm facing right now!"

Admiral Yellow Monkey spread his hands helplessly, "His strength surpasses mine, and I truly don't know how to place him!"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone was shocked.
