Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain - Chapter 44

[Chapter 44 Dirty Political Deals]

Rayleigh looked at Dahl lying on the ground and asked, “Is it worth it?”

Dahl did not answer, but looked around at the major generals who were seriously injured by Rayleigh, as well as the stone statues not far away and the navy who were still fighting. Dahl had a wry smile and sadness on his face.

“What if it’s not worth it, the slave was released by the pirates, and the angry Tianlong people put all the pressure on the navy. The navy, which is under enormous pressure, must set an example and give the Tianlong people an explanation.”

Hearing Dahl’s explanation, Rayleigh finally understood why these navies knew that they were not their opponents, but they still stopped him regardless of life and death.

All of this is to be seen by a Tianlong person. In order to help you find slaves, our navy even wiped out the entire seventh branch. You can’t say anything about it.

In fact, when he knew that Lieutenant General Garp would not come, Dahl was ready to retreat. Dahl knew that his seventh branch would not be able to catch Pluto Rayleigh at all, and would increase casualties.

But in the back, the order of the Admiralty made Dahl have to give up the idea of retreat and lead the entire seventh part to the road of destruction.

But just now, he has already evacuated the navy below the school level. Even if they are all killed, the seventh branch will not disappear from the navy.

“Pluto Rayleigh, can I ask you one thing?” Dahl looked at Rayleigh pleadingly.

Hearing that Dahl actually begged him, Rayleigh almost thought he had heard it wrong. He had been a pirate for so many years, and he had never met a pirate in the navy, but he did not expect to meet him today.

Reilly said with a curious expression: “Tell me, if it doesn’t affect me much, I should agree to you.”

“I hope Rayleigh, the king of the underworld, can show mercy to the rest of the navy,” Dahl said with a bit of a bite.

As a vice-admiral to ask for pirates, Dahl can be said to have endured a lot of pressure, but for the sake of his innocent subordinates, Dahl can afford to lose this dignity.

Rayleigh smiled slightly and asked back: “Why, but you attacked me first, and now you want me to be merciful.”

“This order was given by me, everything is my fault, if you want to kill, kill me. These navy soldiers are innocent, they don’t know anything, I don’t want such a navy with a bright future Soldiers, there is no point in dying under this dirty political deal.”

After accepting this order, Dahl already had the determination to die. No matter what the result was, Dahl would have no face to live if so many navy soldiers died innocently.

“Hahaha…” Rayleigh suddenly laughed.

Under Lieutenant-General Dahl’s puzzled eyes, Reilly said, “Look carefully for yourself. For those navies, I didn’t kill them at all, I just stunned them.”

Hearing Rayleigh’s words, Lieutenant General Dahl was shocked, and quickly observed with ‘sighted and domineering’. As Rayleigh said, the navy who was knocked down by Rayleigh did not die, but one by one was seriously injured and passed out.

When Lieutenant General Dahl was ready to thank Rayleigh, Rayleigh had already walked to the other side of the battlefield.

…

“Karp, you don’t have to go to support the seventh branch, Pluto-Rayleigh has the seventh branch enough to deal with”.

“Bang”, Lieutenant General Garp slammed an angry punch on the table, and the whole table was torn apart.

Garp picked up the phone bug that fell on the ground, and Qiang asked angrily: “Senguo, you bastard, do you know what this order means?”

That’s right, Lieutenant General Garp was on the phone with Admiral Sengoku at this time.

Just now, the naval headquarters suddenly issued an order to Garp through the phone bug, but this order made Garp unacceptable.

In the end, Garp directly used his own dedicated phone bug to talk to the Warring States period and inquire about the original, and this was the scene just now.

On the other side of the phone worm, a heavy voice sounded, “This is an order from the Five Old Stars. Our Admiralty just executes it, and the rest is out of our control.”

Hearing Sengoku’s answer, Garp’s nose was rough, “Sengoku, you should know better than me about Hades Rayleigh’s combat power, how could the entire seventh branch be able to deal with Hades-Rayleigh, you are here Let them die! Sengoku! Why is this?”.

At the end, Karp was already roaring. Having been a comrade-in-arms with Sengoku for decades, Garp knew very well about Sengoku’s temper. How could the Sengoku, known as a ‘wise general’, agree to such a stupid order.

Hearing Garp’s roar, Sengoku fell silent, and after a while, Sengoku explained to Garp.

“Because the Tianlong people’s slaves were rescued by pirates, the Tianlong people jointly pressured the world government. If we don’t let our navy give an explanation, we will unite with the world’s nobles and refuse to provide military funds to the navy.”

After a pause, the Warring States continued: “But just when we had no choice, we just knew that Pluto Rayleigh was in Sexon, so…”.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Garp, “So, you decided to give up the entire seventh branch to give an explanation to the Tianlong people”.

“Yes”, after a long silence, the Warring States replied in a low voice.

Hearing Sengoku’s agreement, Garp clenched his fist tightly, his face calm and a little scary.

“Karp, I can tell you that you must obey this order. If you can’t give the Tianlong people an explanation this time, it will be a catastrophe for our navy.”

Karp didn’t answer, just hung up the phone bug and looked at Sexon Island not far away.

Colonel Ender asked carefully: “Lieutenant General Karp! What should we do now?”

Colonel Ender also heard all the conversation just now, although he also disagreed with the headquarters’ approach. But Ender also understood that, with the current situation, he could only do this to give the Tianlong people an explanation.

If the Tianlong people really stopped the military spending of the navy, the entire navy would fall into chaos in an instant. If there was no naval suppression, pirates from all over the country would come out, and the harm would be even greater.

For the consequences of this, of course, Karp also knew, “obey the order of the Admiralty, raise the sails, and advance towards Sexon Island.”

“Lieutenant General Karp, why are we going to Sexon Island if we don’t support the seventh branch?” Colonel Ender asked inexplicably.

“Whoever said that going to Sexon Island has to support the Eighth Branch, let’s go to Hades – Rayleigh”

On the other side, in the naval headquarters, in the office of the Warring States Marshal.

Looking at the phone bug that was hung up, Warring States couldn’t help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Although I understand that Garp may be very angry now, Sengoku is still very reassured about Garp, and Garp can still distinguish some important things.

“He, do you think my order is right or wrong?” Warring States asked the female lieutenant general sitting beside him.

“Some things, you already know in your heart, why are you asking me again, this kind of thing is not something you can decide.”

Warring States smiled softly, “Yes! It is worth the value of this transaction to exchange one branch for the entire naval headquarters!”

That smile, how ironic it is in Sengoku’s heart at this moment.
