In a banquet hall in Pangu City, senior navy officials and two retired old guys were sitting at the same table. No one was seated at the surrounding tables.

Garp looked around and said complainingly: "The world has changed. Even the recruits who were interned on my warship a few years ago are qualified to attend this dinner."

"Hey! Just stop talking. Can't you keep your mouth shut with so much food?"

He rolled his eyes, but the cold reception she received from the Navy today really made her uncomfortable, especially the contrast after several consecutive high-level treatment, which made He miss Skyler extremely.

Thinking of Skyler, He smiled helplessly and shook his head. If Skyler were here at this moment and saw this scene, he would probably overturn the dining table in the banquet hall and then destroy Pangu City.

.

It's just that it's obviously impossible to pursue those things now. Garp and Sengoku, two retired old guys, can prevent others from doing evil to the navy, but they can't prevent others from alienating them.

Sakaski didn't care about this, or in other words, without anyone's interruption, it was the scene that Sakaski was looking forward to the most, so at this time he was enjoying the food even more carelessly than Garp.

Of course, Green Bull was not affected at all, but he was not used to "mealing". In his opinion, this way of consuming nutrients was too inefficient.

If he wanted to make him open his mouth to eat, he would not bother to open his mouth unless there was a pretty young lady to feed him. At this time, facing the fine wine and delicacies, he only separated a few blood-sucking vines from his body to "taste" them.

If it had been four years ago, eight years ago or even twelve years ago, there might have been a young lady feeding him. After all, the Navy's status in world conferences at that time was unprecedentedly high.

It's a pity that it can't be done now. The navy's current status is at its lowest point. Even twenty-four years ago when the navy's status was at its lowest, its treatment at world conferences was much higher than it is now.

After all, if the navy did not do anything before, it was just incompetence. However, today's navy has shown its rebellious attitude. To put it bluntly, it is a potential enemy of the World Government.

It is impossible to demand preferential treatment from the world government at this time.

Warring States also sighed at this time and said: "Eat, and leave as soon as possible. If you continue to stay like this, I will want to hit someone."

Hearing this, Zefa and Garp both nodded, but they seemed to agree on different points, and they all started eating in silence, without any intention of forcing their presence.

Even before the representatives of the participating countries at the world conference arrived, the navy finished eating and left.

During the World Conference, the Navy had a garrison in Mariejoia. Especially when the Navy had to serve as the escort for the World Conference in the past, the standards of the garrison were also very high.

However, when they arrived at the navy station under the somewhat reluctant guidance of the waiter, even Kizaru, who rarely loses his temper, frowned.

Where is the place where the navy should be stationed? It is clearly the accommodation building for Marie Joa's waiter. There is no lobby, no function hall, and many rooms are even dormitories for six or even eight people.

Fortunately, the navy did not have a escort mission this time, so they did not bring many people. They only transferred some members of the 26th detachment led by Kizaru and some members of the Garp detachment.

It's not really to the point where six or eight people are crammed into one room, but the attitude of the World Government is completely a naval mentality.

Of course, this residence was definitely not deliberately arranged by Wulaoxing. After all, no matter how stingy he was, he was still not to the point of stumbling upon the navy in such a trivial matter.

More probably, it is the choice of those who are outsiders in the World Government. After all, those who are not taken seriously by the navy can be "oppressed" by them.

Even when Kizaru changed his mind, he thought of some World Government officials who might have deliberately given them small shoes in order to cause trouble for the navy.

Kizaru didn't say it out loud. After all, when he saw the faces of Sengoku and He, he knew that they had guessed it, but they didn't think it was worth mentioning.

Sakaski was constantly adjusting his inner emotions at this time, trying hard to smile, and said: "I remember when I first joined the Navy, the accommodation conditions were similar to here.

You are all from the military, so today you are just remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness."

Warring States, who originally had a gloomy expression, smiled after hearing Sakaski's words, turned around and said, "Not bad, Sakaski, you have made great progress."

Zefa and Kizaru also looked at Sakaski in surprise. To be able to say such words was indeed not what Sakaski should be. Green Bull's eyes were full of fanaticism.

Crane and Fujitora seemed to understand something and just stood there without speaking. Sakaski felt embarrassed when he was looked at like this, scratched his temples and said:

"Ahaha~ This is the content of the speech that Lieutenant General Skyler wrote for me. I just appropriated it."

Hearing Sakaski's laughter and the words that followed, Kizaru retracted his surprised gaze and thought about how his fellow countryman behaved more and more like those bastards of the older generation.

At this time, Warring States did not retract his approving gaze. Instead, he nodded with more approval and said, "Then you also learned the spirit of it, instead of memorizing the text."

After saying that, Warring States looked at the other people and said: "Well, since our marshal has said so, everyone should stop complaining. It's really good to remember the bitter and remember the sweet.

After being in the Navy for a long time, it is easy to get far away from the original intention and become separated from the people. I have not lived with the people for almost fifty years, and I have forgotten the fatigue of the recruit period.

Just think of it as an opportunity for us, especially Aramaki, you just joined the navy and you are supposed to sleep in a dormitory with multiple people, so just think of it as an experience today."

After Sengoku said with a smile, Green Bull nodded. Even though he was not a genius known for his intelligence, you could still tell that Sengoku was joking to lighten the atmosphere.

As for the reason why Fujitora Sengoku didn't mention him, it was because of his age, he was not a young man like Midori, and he had been in the Zanya detachment for many years.

Coupled with his character, Sengoku felt that if he didn't speak, Fujitora would probably take the initiative to kill the green bull. Among the three generals, the most mature and steady one is probably the new recruit Fujitora.

Everyone nodded at this time. Kizaru and Garp turned around at the same time. Before they rested, they had to give instructions to their detachment members. After all, they were officers.

But just when they turned around, they saw a majestic old man walking up the stairs. The old man waved his hand as if there was some stain on it, then looked at Garp and Kizaru who were looking at them, and said:

"Hey, it seems that you are not angry. Why did I hear that as soon as I arrived at the banquet hall, you ran away in anger? Also, who arranged this place?"

Seeing that the old leader was coming, Garp smiled and said: "Marshal Kong!"

"Don't be a marshal. Now that the Warring States Period has been retired, you are still thinking about the passionate years when I was in power?"

Kong walked over with a smile, looked at Sakaski and asked, "You're really not angry?"

Sakaski shook his head and said: "There's nothing to be angry about. It's just that the bed is a little short and there aren't many people. It will be fine if the beds are pushed together."

Hearing that Sakaski was seriously discussing the issue of accommodation, Sora was a little bit dumbfounded. This newly appointed marshal really focused on discussing matters as they happened.

"As long as you're not angry." Sora did not correct him, but said along the way: "I really didn't know about this arrangement in advance. This is my negligence. I will go over to supervise the arrangements tomorrow and try to get you to move out as soon as possible.

By the way, I’m here, and there’s one more thing.”

Sora said, looking around, as if he wanted to find a place to sit down, but apart from the dormitories, this building only had corridors and no functional rooms like a living room.

Shaking his head, Kong said: "Let's go to my office, we have some serious things to talk about."

Sakaski nodded when he heard this. After all, it was still early, far from the time to rest, and since it was business, he naturally couldn't refuse.

Seeing Sakaski, the others nodded and did not refuse. They followed Sora's footsteps and walked down the dormitory building. Kizaru followed at the end, looking at the backs of the three Sengoku people, and then at Sora's back.

, I don’t know what I’m thinking.

The accommodation building was quite far from Sora's office, and Sora had no intention of chatting about anything serious on the road. He just discussed what happened not long ago.

However, regarding the matter of killing the Celestial Dragons, there was only one voice left within the navy, and hearing the determination of Sakaski and others, Sora had nothing to say.

After arriving at Kong's office, everyone discovered that there was already someone in the office. Lu Qi was sitting in Kong's office. When he saw Kong coming back, he also stood up and saluted.

Seeing Lu Qi, there was nothing unusual among Sakaski and the others, but the Warring States trio frowned, and Garp even asked angrily: "The main thing is that this kid has come to complain?"

As he spoke, Garp stared at Lu Qi. Lu Qi was the first agent in thirty-eight years who had not been beaten by him after serving as CP0. Garp was wondering whether he should make up for it.

However, this thought only flashed through Garp's mind. It wasn't because he wanted to save face, or because he didn't dare to cause trouble, but because his grandson Luffy had already completed his mission for his grandfather.

Lucci had already been defeated by Luffy two years ago. Rounding it all off, it was equivalent to being defeated by Garp.

Lu Qi was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Garp, and when he saw the looks in Sengoku and Zefa's eyes, he realized that perhaps Garp and the other veterans who stayed behind in Malinfando didn't know his identity.

However, Lu Qi had no intention of explaining. After all, he was working for Skyler, not the Navy. He didn't bother to care about the attitude of other people in the Navy towards him.

Kong waved his hand at this time and said, "I misunderstood, Lu Qi is a good boy."

As soon as Kong finished his words, the others had not yet responded, but Lu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth first. When can a CP agent who is full of evil be called a good boy?

Kong quickly answered this question: "He was arranged by Skyler. I have also learned about the conflict between you and me on the road today at Mary Joa. It is indeed not Lu Qi's idea."

Hearing that Lu Qi was arranged by Skyler, Zefa frowned and began to examine the young man in front of him. After all, although his student had good eyesight, he sometimes made mistakes.

Skyler brought reliable people like Jinbei, Brooke and Fujitora to the Navy, but there were also unreliable young people like Eniro.

Especially when he saw that Luqi was younger than Eniru, Zefa's attitude towards inspection became more strict. After looking around, Zefa withdrew his gaze.

Lu Qi, a young man, at least in terms of manners, is much better than the careless Enel. Although he does not have the righteousness of the Navy, he is not as annoying as other CP agents.

Warring States was also slightly surprised. He subconsciously looked at Crane and Kizaru. Seeing that these two people were not surprised at all, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He entrusted many tasks and thoughts to these two people, but he did not expect that he would have so many "estrangements" with the navy just after leaving the navy.

You know, he is a retired marshal. Such an important thing happened, but no one wanted to explain it to him.

"Ahaha~"

Garp didn't feel so sad. He smiled and patted Lu Qi on the shoulder. The "thin" Lu Qi, under Garp's iron hand, actually didn't move at all. This made Garp nod approvingly and said:

"Young man, that's right. I feel that my incompetent grandson, no matter how reckless he is, will never do something like destroying Justice Island. It must have been arranged by Skyler, right? Haha~ He is indeed my daughter."

Kizaru raised his eyebrows, trying to say that Lu Qi had not yet followed Skyler at that time, but he noticed that Lu Qi did not show a trace of denial, which made him very confused.

When exactly Lu Qi was instigated by Skyler, he and Sakaski had some guesses about this at the time, and concluded that it was after Justice Island, but that was just a guess.

But now this small detail revealed by Lu Qi makes Kizaru feel that his guess is not so accurate.

Kong clapped his hands to attract the attention of everyone with different ideas, and then said: "Everyone is here, let's sit down and talk. Lu Qi, tell them everything you told me."

While Kong was talking, everyone in the navy also sat down. They were not too restrained. Seng Guo and Garp started rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in search of food and drink.

Seeing this scene, Sora didn't stop them. After all, he now has so much tea that he can't finish it. Other departments of the World Government and envoys from the participating countries are giving him gifts every year.

Sometimes, there will even be some Celestial Dragons who will send gifts. Although most of the Celestial Dragons are materialistic and domineering, there are also a small number of Celestial Dragons who still know how to deal with the world.

Soon, Warring States and Garp found satisfactory tea leaves and began to boil water without any scruples. Lu Qi also said: "There are mainly two things, one is about CP, and the other is about CP."

The countries that join the World Government.”

Lu Qi paused for a moment, and when he saw several people nodding, they were obviously listening carefully. As for the unserious Sengoku and Garp, they had retired and had no impact at all, so he continued:

"First of all, it's CP's matter. Tomorrow, CP will propose the purchase of Wano's arms."
