A few days later, in Rogge Town, a group of naval generals from the East China Sea gathered in the conference room again to review the failed operation.
However, it was not Smoker or Garp who organized the meeting this time, but Marine Marshal Sengoku who was far away at the Navy Headquarters.
A phone bug was placed on the podium. It had a beard that was so long that it hung down to the ground. At this moment, the angry voice from the Navy Marshal was playing outside.
"What on earth are you doing? When you reported the situation last time, you said that a dragnet had been laid. Why did you let Davy Jones and his gang fly over the Upside Down Mountain? You know how that bastard Morgans reported this in the newspaper? Come on? , let me read you some titles."
The sound of turning pages came from the phone bug.
"'The navy is incompetent. The legend from hundreds of years ago returns to the Great Line and will regain maritime supremacy'!"
"'Hero Garp seems to have been defeated miserably, and Davy Jones and his gang already have the power of the 'Four Emperors'?!"
"Krokdal, one of the 'Shichibukai', said that if the 'King of Hell' in the Deep Sea dares to offend Alabasta, he will use all his strength to defeat him!"
"Listen, what do the newspaper headlines say about our navy? 'Incompetent', 'big defeat', and we need the 'Shichibukai' to come and wipe our butts! I haven't stopped answering the phone these days. Come down here!"
The entire conference room was silent, and all the navy generals lowered their heads. Only Garp, Smoker and Tina from the navy headquarters were still sitting upright.
Sengoku in the phone bug yelled angrily.
"Warring States, we can't blame them entirely this time." Garp said at this time.
"Since things were rushed, it's great that they were able to prepare such a plan in a short period of time."
"Secondly, there is a serious lack of intelligence. Davy Jones obviously has more cards that he has not revealed."
"Third, and most importantly, I was not present at the first moment, so I have to bear the greatest responsibility."
Garp took the initiative to take the blame, causing many naval admirals present to shift uneasily in their chairs.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, so that the generals thought there was something wrong with the signal, until Sengoku's voice came again.
"Garp, you return to the Navy Headquarters immediately and accept review and punishment." Seng Guo's tone has regained his composure, "The rest of the team must also write review reports and send them to the Navy Headquarters immediately."
Write a review again? Garp frowned, but thinking that he could leave this matter to his friend He, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Unexpectedly, Warring States was like a roundworm in his stomach:
"Garp, I'm warning you, this review report must be written by you yourself! You are not allowed to ask Lieutenant General He or anyone else, you must write it yourself!"
Only then did Garp frown.
However, the generals breathed a sigh of relief. No one was demoted or dismissed because of this failure. They were only subject to internal punishment and review, so that was okay.
Just when they thought the Navy Headquarters would raise the board high and put it down gently, they heard Marshal Sengoku's tone suddenly become more serious.
"Captain Mouse of the 16th East China Sea Branch, come out!"
The mouse sitting in almost the corner of the conference room was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and gave a military salute in the direction of the phone bug.
"He's up." Garp shouted lazily to the phone bug, as if he had known this would happen.
Warring States did not hide his dissatisfaction:
"Colonel Mouse, someone is now accusing you of passively confronting the enemy on the battlefield, abandoning the ship and escaping without firing a single shot. You have no military demeanor from the beginning to the end. Is this true?"
The mouse cried out for injustice without thinking, and had turned lying into instinct:
"Marshal Warring States, this is not true, someone must have framed me!"
However, the fact is that in the naval battle at the foot of the upside down mountain, almost all naval generals failed to varying degrees.
Bryn Bryn broke his head and is still wrapped in a bandage.
Lipa suffered a broken leg.
Smoker was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood.
Tina also suffered mental torture.
Even Garp, who arrived last, was sprained at the waist.
Among the people present, only the mouse was not injured at all. At most, it was soaked.
There were quite a lot of witnesses to passive fighting, retreating to the rear of the warship formation, and abandoning the ship to escape without firing a shot.
The naval generals at the scene all stared at the mouse with unkind expressions. Their anger, which had nowhere to vent because of the failure of the extermination war, finally found a place to vent.
"This deserter..." Lipa muttered in a low voice, "Not as good as that reckless man Mengka."
The mouse wanted to defend himself, but Seng Guo interrupted him.
"In addition, there are reports that you colluded with a group of fish-men and pirates and carried out an eight-year reign of terror over more than 20 villages and towns. Money was collected every month. Anyone who disobeyed would be punished. Your revenge. What about this matter? Is it true?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
If the previous incident was considered a deserter scandal and required a military court, then this incident is quite shocking.
The navy colluded with pirates?
And it lasted eight years?
Will this kind of thing really happen?
Moreover, these pirates are also fishmen. Ever since the battle with Davy Jones and his gang, the term "fishmen" has become quite sensitive.
Even when Sengoku read the newspaper headlines, he deliberately ignored one of them.
"'From the perspective of 'Inverted Mountain and Sea Battle', are the fishmen the best race?"
"Celestial Dragons" don't count, they are gods.
But the mouse happened to be in cahoots with the fish-man.
Could it be that there was something strange about this defeat in the naval battle?
As soon as Brynbrin heard Sengoku's words, he opened his mouth in shock.
He looked at the mouse in disbelief.
Because not long ago he proposed to Mouse to jointly destroy the group of fish-man pirates...
But the Warring States Marshal said that the rats and the group of fish-men and pirates had already colluded with each other?
The mouse turned pale, wondering where the news had leaked.
Over the years, Aaron has controlled that area well. In addition, he intercepted the reporting letters and did not let anyone successfully leak the information.
What went wrong?
He could only continue to shout: "Marshal of the Warring States Period, I was wronged...someone wants to fabricate charges to harm me!"
"Then are you willing to confront the whistleblower?" Zhan Guo asked coldly.
"They are in Rogge Town now. The Aaron Pirates have been wiped out, and the victims have successfully escaped control and have come to Rogge Town to report in person."
Smoker didn't even know about this. He was recovering from his injuries these days. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his head in surprise.
The villagers from Aaron's stronghold first found Dasqi, and then found Garp along the way, and finally the whole matter was brought to the Navy Headquarters.
Has the Aaron Pirates been wiped out?
The informant is in Rogge Town?
The mouse was sweating profusely, his hands and feet were shaking and numb, and he slumped on the chair a little weakly, silent.
Warring States' voice came from the phone bug:
"Colonel Mouse has been suspended for investigation, and all naval soldiers under his jurisdiction will also be investigated. Commodore Brynn Bolling!"
"Marshal Warring States, I'm here!" Bryn Bolin stood up with his head wrapped in a bandage.
"You are responsible for investigating this matter with full authority. There can be no omissions or favoritism. I need to know the truth of everything within a month. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Bryn Bryn glared at the mouse and said indignantly, "Marshal, I promise to complete the mission!"
The mouse pursed his lips and held his head in his hands, already falling into despair.
Sengoku began to talk about the last item of the meeting.
"Now, I am announcing that due to the danger and bad influence of Davy Jones and his gang, their bounty will be increased!"
"Their new members were discovered this time. After being identified by the villagers who reported Colonel Mouse, it has been confirmed that they are the remnants of the Aaron Pirates, 'Octopus' Hachi and 'Manatee' Moo Moo. Therefore, a bounty of 10 million Baileys was offered respectively. With 5 million Baileys!”
"'Iron Rod' Arrita's bounty was originally 15 million beli, but now it has been increased to 25 million beli. 'Hundred Plan' Crowe's original bounty is 16 million beli, but it is now increased to 26 million beli. "
"'Bucky the Clown', the original bounty was 25 million Baileys, but now it has been increased to 45 million Baileys."
"'The King of Hell' Davy Jones, the original bounty was 50 million Baileys, but now it has been increased to 80 million Baileys!"
"No matter what, the justice we represent must defeat the evil represented by the pirates! That's it for this meeting, adjourn!"
When everyone was still shocked at how frequently the bounties on Davy Jones and his gang were being raised, Marshal Warring States adjourned the meeting and hung up the phone.
They had no choice but to leave the meeting in confusion.
The rat, who was unable to get up, was dragged away by two navy soldiers and received the disgusted looks of everyone.
