Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Offshore Alabasta.

Above the sea, there was a naval warship floating.

This warship has been wandering in this sea area for a long time.

It maintained a stable and uniform speed of movement and slowed down its speed as much as possible, minimizing the presence of this naval warship in this sea area.

But even so, the navy logo flying on it is still hard for people to ignore!

And sitting on this naval warship is none other than Crane, one of the Vice Admirals of the Navy Headquarters and the title of "Navy Chief Staff Officer"!

At this moment, Crane and her direct troops were on the warship.

The navy soldiers were busy preparing for war, while He himself spread a strategic chart of Alabasta on the deck, then lowered his head in thought and frowned.

"Something's wrong..."

Crane murmured, "Something's not right. If that's really the case, the situation might be a little bad..."

The adjutant on the side looked slightly puzzled when he saw this, "Lieutenant General, why do you say that?"

Of course you should ask this question.

Because from a spectator's point of view, in this incident, the navy is in an absolutely advantageous position anyway.

As far as the current conclusion is concerned, the Four Seas Alliance - or directly the [Golden Dawn] Ryan Rowan himself, definitely has the ability to compete with the Beast Pirates.

As for the navy's position, they certainly hope that the Four Seas Alliance, which has good relations with the navy, will win.

Therefore, the navy only needs to support the Four Seas Alliance at the right time to determine the outcome of the war surrounding the Four Seas Alliance!

Is this simple...?

Of course it's very simple.

Because the person behind the Four Seas Alliance [Golden Dawn] Lian Rowan himself provided the most critical prerequisite for solving this problem——

A person who can compete head-on with [Hundred Beasts] Kaido with his own hard power.

That person is Ryan Rowan himself!

Only with such ability can we make follow-up plans, otherwise everything will be empty talk!

Most of the navy present thought so. They felt that the war between the Four Seas Alliance and the Beast Pirates was not an "unsolvable" astonishing problem, but just a bit tricky.

But Lieutenant General He's expression at this moment seemed to reject this idea.

…

"It's not good..."

Crane's face turned slightly gloomy, and then he turned to ask the adjutant, "Is there any order from the Navy Headquarters?"

"Report, no! Everything is business as usual!"

the adjutant replied.

Such an answer should have made people happy, but He frowned, as if she didn't want it to be so.

"Lieutenant General, isn't this bad?"

The adjutant couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked: "This war between the Four Seas Alliance and the Beast Pirates is not that complicated. If everything goes as we said before, shouldn't it? Is it good?"

Most of He's direct troops are female sailors, and He's character is also approachable, so these naval soldiers are also happy to discuss their own problems with He.

Hearing this, He thought for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "Really? Is 'business as usual' really 'very good'?"

"Um?"

As soon as these words came out, the navy soldiers present were stunned.

Later, He's smile gradually turned into a bitter smile, and he sighed helplessly: "If it is possible, I really hope that the World Government will suddenly order us not to interfere in this matter."

"What?!"

After hearing these remarks, the navy soldiers present couldn't bear it anymore and began to talk about it.

"Lieutenant General, what does this mean?"

"I hope the world government will come forward to stop our navy's actions?!"

"Why would the world government do this?"

"No, no, let's not talk about why the world government does this. If the world government really does this, what good will it do to our navy?"

"..."

On the deck, a flurry of discussions broke out.

In this regard, Crane did not show any disgust, but rather liked this scene.

This old naval vice admiral has always liked to cultivate the ability of his soldiers to think independently.

As a naval soldier, it is not enough to just mindlessly follow the orders of your superiors.

That's just "one" of the qualities of a good soldier.

A truly outstanding naval soldier must have his own beliefs and must also have the "justice" in his heart.

Otherwise, it is impossible for a casual naval soldier to go far in the navy.

After calculating the time, He felt that it was almost done, so he coughed lightly.

"Ahem..."

In an instant, the discussion on the entire deck suddenly stopped.

The navy soldiers understood that their discussion time was over, and Vice Admiral He would announce the real answer next.

"The crux of the problem is that the World Government 'doesn't like' the Beast Pirates, and it also 'dislikes' the Four Seas Alliance."

"..."

Hearing this, the navy soldiers looked at each other in shock.

They still couldn't figure out the specific meaning of Granny He's words.

He slowly explained:

"As for the two parties participating in the war, they are essentially on the opposite side of the world government."

"But in order to maintain the balance and stability of this sea, the World Government has to maintain the continued existence of the Beast Pirates and the Four Seas Alliance."

"This delicate balance is hard-won, and the World Government will never allow others to easily break it!"

"——Not even the Navy."

He looked at the sea map in front of him and narrowed his eyes.

"The World Government is very clear that the Four Seas Alliance and the Beast Pirates must be capable of fighting."

"So, if you want to maintain the stability of all the forces in the sea, doing nothing and waiting for both the Four Seas Alliance and the Beast Pirates to suffer losses is the best choice!"

"This is why Warring States is so anxious to ask us to set off."

"If the world government really views this war with the intention of reaping the benefits, then they will definitely not allow the navy to take action."

"Because this will break the balance of this war and affect the stability of the entire sea!"

Crane glanced at the quiet phone bug.

"But it is impossible to hide the fact that a naval warship is sailing from the World Government."

"So I judge that the World Government should soon issue an order prohibiting the Navy from intervening in the war between the Four Seas Alliance and the Beast Pirates."

"But... until now, the World Government's order has still not been issued."

He raised his eyes and looked at everyone with deep eyes, "Do you know what this means?"

"..."

All the navy soldiers were speechless.

It’s not that they can’t answer, it’s that they don’t want to, or “dare not” say that chilling answer!

But Crane dares.

"Because the World Government has judged that in this war, in addition to the Beast Pirates and the Four Seas Alliance, one or even multiple forces will intervene!"

"——And the power of those forces is no less than that of the navy!"

…

at the same time.

The main ship of the Big Mom Pirates, the Queen Mother Anthem, has arrived offshore from the Murloc Village!
