Chapter 582: The Dilemma of the Navy and CP
The news of Dressrosa spread across the world like a gust of wind.
Ordinary people cannot know the inside story, so many people who saw this news felt that the story was very familiar, wondering if they had seen this script somewhere.
If you think about it carefully, the king was cruel, the hero came to the rescue, and naturally became the new king. This seems to have happened three times in the past year. Dressrosa is the fourth time, right?
What's up with the kings lately?
Or is it that the king has never changed, but the people have become more daring to resist?
But looking more closely, it seems this time the "hero" is a pirate? And it's Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Is there something wrong?
Although they had doubts, it was not their turn to worry about things that happened thousands of miles away. What did the affairs of Dressrosa have to do with them?
The only ones who were most concerned about Dressrosa were the neighboring islands of Prudence Kingdom and Aprunan Island. They learned about the change of king in the neighboring country earlier than the outside world.
Especially the Kingdom of Prudence. Since King Elizabello II and King Riku were good friends, after learning that something happened in Dressrosa, he immediately sent out messengers in public and agents in secret to visit and investigate.
Elizabelo II was the one who could accumulate strength for an hour and then unleash a king's punch. He once punched through a huge fortress of the enemy country.
Legend has it that as long as his king's fist can hit, even the Four Emperors will fall to the ground.
Elizabello II's plan was to find out whether this was Doflamingo's conspiracy. If so, he would go there in person and teach Doflamingo a lesson.
However, although the messenger returned safely, the agents were nowhere to be found. Strangely, Elizabero II had no recollection of ever having sent any agents.
Even the traveling envoys were completely unaware that several of their colleagues were missing.
The families of those agents have no recollection of having missing relatives.
Even the wife who married the agent and had a child could not remember that she had ever had a husband. She just thought that she had always been a single mother. It was true that she gave birth to the child, but she did not think it was unreasonable that the child had no father.
No matter how much she loved her husband before, when people ask her about it now, she will only answer: "I have never been married. It has always been like this."
Whether it was the family members, colleagues, or King Elizabeth II, everyone had forgotten about those agents.
Not only that, all paper records of information about these agents have become blank, including their personal household registration information and state secret documents. All the parts related to them have turned into blank papers!
Anyone who sees this information will subconsciously think that someone accidentally mixed in some white paper.
After the envoys returned, Elizabero II still felt that something was wrong in Dressrosa, so he sent agents disguised as businessmen to investigate.
But the result was the same. After a few days, he had no memory of sending anyone to Dressrosa.
After a while, Elizabelo II summoned his military advisor and said, "Da Gama, I have a feeling something is amiss in Dressrosa. How about sending a few agents to investigate?"
Da Gama replied: "Your Majesty, we have no agents under our command."
Elizabelo II was stunned: "So there are no agents?"
He pondered for a moment. "Anyway, let's send some more people to visit Dressrosa. Now that we have a new king, we need . Also, ask Doflamingo about King Riku's condition. After all, we've been friends for many years."
"As you command, Your Majesty." Da Gama saluted and suggested, "The agent you just mentioned seems like a very useful position. Perhaps we should train a group of people to do it."
Elizabelo II nodded: "Well, I leave it to you."
"I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations." Da Gama left with full confidence. Although he had never trained as an agent, he always felt that he could do a good job.
…
Also knowing about this before the public was Admiral Sengoku.
Unlike Elizabelo II, Zhan Guo's first reaction upon receiving the intelligence was very emotional: "Is it that Zhang Tatsuya who's behind this again?"
No, come to think of it, the Amber Tour Group hasn't been to the New World yet.
Zhan Guo rubbed his temples. He was a dignified naval marshal, but he was made nervous. This kid was really a worry.
But Tenyasha isn't much better, or rather, Doflamingo is even more annoying.
Zhan Guo thought for a while and selected a few people to investigate.
A few days later, the Five Elders called and told Sengoku not to interfere in Dressrosa's affairs and not to investigate anything.
Zhan Guo felt puzzled. Did I send someone to investigate? When did I interfere in Dressrosa's affairs?
However... speaking of the Dressrosa incident, Sengoku always felt that something was amiss, so he decided to send someone to investigate secretly.
Zhan Guo considered the candidates, but always felt that there was no particularly suitable person.
The Five Elders are also studying this matter. Although this is a good opportunity to improve the reputation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they also want to find out Doflamingo's background.
As for the information that guy took the initiative to tell them, we can't say that it's all false, but there is definitely a lot that is completely unbelievable.
Given Doflamingo's style, he will never honestly tell you what he really wants, so it is necessary to investigate.
But this matter is not serious enough to involve CP0 and CP9, so let's select a few elites from CP8 to infiltrate.
It was not until today, the day the news was officially released, that the Five Elders suddenly remembered that such a thing had happened.
"Ask CP8 if there's any news."
The commander of CP8 broke out in a cold sweat after receiving the inquiry from the Five Elders. He remembered that there had been such an order from above, but he seemed to have never sent anyone over.
He didn't even do what the Five Elders personally instructed him to do. This is a serious dereliction of duty!
If he is not careful, not only will his career be over, but his life may also be over!
The CP8 commander immediately began to think of a solution and looked through the roster to see which of his men was suitable to take the blame.
But this didn't matter. He found that his department seemed to be short of staff. Not only did everyone have tasks, but there were also some things that no one could do. There were not even enough people on duty.
In addition, there were some missions that were completed beautifully before, but he suddenly couldn't remember who was responsible. "Could it be that some elites completed the mission at the cost of their lives, and then destroyed the data to protect their families?"
Now is not the time to talk about this. Let me first report on CP8’s current predicament.
"The task is heavy and we're seriously short-handed?" The Five Elders harshly criticized the person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi. "This kind of thing should have been mentioned earlier!"
"Yes, I was inconsiderate." The CP8 commander didn't dare to retort. "I immediately ordered them to put aside some low-priority tasks..."
"No need. CP8 doesn't need to get involved in this matter."
The Five Elders aren't the type to be unreasonable. If CP8 isn't available, why not ask CP7? Which department doesn't have a few elites? With a world government this big, are we still worried about not having enough people to do the work?
