Chapter 599: Warring States: I am the Marshal!
Tom was the first to hear the sound. Half asleep, he reached out his hand, passed Zhang Daye, and slapped the alarm clock on the bedside table.
Of course it was useless, the Den Den Mushi continued to buzz.
Tom opened one eye to see what was happening.
By this time, Zhang Daye had also woken up. A little irritably, he dug out the Den Den Mushi from the chair where he had thrown his clothes. After answering the call, he said unhappily:
"Who is it? Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"I'm Zhan Guo."
"Hey, Marshal Zhan Guo." Zhang Daye's sleepiness dissipated a lot. He glanced at the time and said with a bit of gloating, "You are still working overtime? Do you get overtime pay?"
Zhang Da watched helplessly as a “#” appeared on the Den Den Mushi’s forehead, his eyes becoming unfriendly: “Thanks to you!”
Zhang Da also said: "Why are you involved with me again? I haven't caused any trouble recently."
You haven't caused any trouble yet, but you admit that you are going to cause trouble, right? Zhan Guo gritted his teeth: "What are you going to do now?"
"I have a friend who was captured, and I need to rescue him."
Zhan Guo breathed a sigh of relief: "If you just want someone, I can come forward to negotiate, so don't act rashly!"
He also thought that Zhang Da wanted to seek revenge on Doflamingo for the conflict that occurred at the Marine Headquarters, or that he wanted to overturn the verdict on King Riku.
Zhang Da also had a strange expression on his face: "What a coincidence, my friend is a navy man, I met him in the training camp."
Zhang Da was not worried that Zhan Guo would go to ask for the person back, because he would not be able to get him back anyway.
Doflamingo will never let go of any of those who have turned into toys, because letting even one go would be equivalent to revealing Sucrose's ability.
As long as one navy returns, Zhan Guo will have to think about whether he still has a navy in his hands, but I forgot.
Doflamingo couldn't take the risk.
Zhan Guo was silent for a few seconds. He felt a little embarrassed. As the naval marshal, he called in the middle of the night to question the other party, but it turned out that the other person was trying to save his navy.
"Who is it?"
"Ain, who was in the same class as Binz, was the best student in that training camp."
Zhan Guo frowned. If he was the best student, he should remember it, but now he has no impression at all.
Thinking rationally, Zhang Da would not lie to him about such a thing, but the best student in his memory was Binz. Was it because he was too busy and stressed at work recently that he remembered it wrong?
"Since it's the navy, it should be handed over to us to deal with. I will ask him for the person myself!" Zhan Guo planned to check it out later, but now he should stabilize Zhang Da first.
"How about this? Let me make a bet with you. If you can get him to release the person before dawn, we won't go to Dressrosa. If not, you can help us bear some of the pressure afterwards."
Zhang Da is also a generous person. If Doflamingo can use his connections to wake him up in the middle of the night, then he will also make sure that Doflamingo can't sleep well tonight.
Marshal Zhan Guo just said that he would handle this matter personally, which is fair.
"you……"
"Good night, Marshal Zhan Guo, I feel like I can sleep until dawn."
Zhang Da also hung up the phone and lay down again. After thinking for a while, he picked up the Den Den Mushi again: "Tom, put this quietly in Ye Yan's room."
Tom nodded, tiptoed out of the door, reached in through the crack, and placed the Den Den Mushi on Ye Yan's bedside table.
Ye Yan, who was suffering from insomnia in the middle of the night, looked at the cat's paw that stretched out and then retracted: "..."
What's this for? Are Tom and I trying to harm me again?
Zhang Da also slept soundly with Tom, but Zhan Guo couldn't sleep.
The Five Elders had just bypassed him as the Marshal and directly assigned Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel of the G-1 branch to lead a team to Dressrosa overnight. The G-5 branch was also making preparations.
In name, they were going to hunt pirates in that area, but in reality, Sengoku knew clearly that there were only two pirates worth noting there, and they were both Seven Warlords of the Sea. Who were they going to hunt?
On the one hand, Zhan Guo asked someone to get the information of the students in the previous training camp, and on the other hand, he called the Five Elders. He wanted to ask these old guys what they were going to do.
In the past two years, the Five Elders have almost grown tired of hearing the name of the Amber Travel Group. Although they have caused a lot of trouble, there is nothing to say openly, and the Navy has always listed them as targets that can be won over, so no action has been taken.
But this time, the document Doflamingo sent them (which contained a Den Den Mushi similar to a fax machine) listed all the good things Zhang Da had done one by one.
Such as destroying the employment security office in the Sabaody Archipelago, rescuing workers in the Bridge Kingdom, attacking CP5 in the Water Seven City, murdering Moria and Crocodile, and inciting the Lulucia Kingdom and the Drum Kingdom to revolt...
Doflamingo was certain that they were responsible for some things, but not sure about some others. However, as long as they showed the slightest suspicion, he would simply pin the blame on them. Anyway, it was enough to let the Five Elders know that these people were rebellious and were detrimental to the World Government's efforts to maintain stability in the ocean.
As for whether it is true or not, no matter what, these people were either present when the incident happened or had just left.
Good news: Doflamingo is framing her.
Bad news: What he framed was basically true.
The Five Elders discussed for a while. Although they couldn't confirm the truth of Doflamingo's information, they had to do something to protect him. They couldn't let the Amber Tour Group act recklessly anymore.
As for how to reply to the Warring States period:
"This is our decision, and the Navy just needs to cooperate."
Zhan Guo said angrily: "I am the Admiral of the Navy!"
"So?" The Five Elders didn't care. "Have you forgotten why the navy exists?"
Warring States: "..."
Not only are the Five Elders not Danzo, they are also Sengoku's superiors.
Zhan Guo was very angry, but he couldn't say anything. He already knew some things on his first day as the Navy Admiral.
Even if he wants to uphold justice, sometimes he needs the approval of those above him.
Why does justice require someone’s consent!
Zhan Guo dropped the microphone, feeling that being a naval marshal for over a year was more tiring than being an admiral for ten years.
Although it was a headache, he couldn't ignore the matter. Zhan Guo picked up the phone again and started dialing.
…
Zhang Da also slept quietly all night. It seemed that the Warring States period was not resolved.
The next morning, Ye Yan threw the Den Den Mushi to him: "Looking for you, Marshal Zhan Guo."
Zhang Da also greeted him with a smile: "Marshal Zhan Guo, you're up so early?"
Zhan Guo was too lazy to get angry with him. This guy was considered polite among the people he had spoken to that night:
"Have you really made up your mind?" Zhan Guo still couldn't remember who Ain was, but that was not the point now.
Zhang Da also said: "Well, we can't just leave our friends alone."
Zhan Guo said: "Have you ever considered that the consequences may be serious? Even if you really saved a marine."
"Can't you handle this anymore? I'm thinking of getting more people to share the responsibility and get through this."
Zhang Da also thought about it and decided that he had to do it. This was something he had decided long ago, otherwise he would be unhappy.
The only consequence is that we may face a siege by the World Government, but we can make a quick decision. Maybe when we finish the battle today and have a meal, they won't arrive yet.
As for being wanted... we told everyone the consequences beforehand, but as long as we're doing the right thing, no one cares.
"We've thought about it. If we become wanted and you're forced to send someone to hunt us down, remember to send someone smarter."
