At the Navy Headquarters, all the senior officials gathered together. Charlotte Lingling, red-haired Shanks, and a giant with burns all over his body were also sitting silently aside.

The Blackbeard Pirates were ultimately defeated by the joint efforts of the Navy's top brass and the two legendary pirates Charlotte Lingling and Shanks. All members were captured, and only the last head of Blackbeard was left.

Sakaski looked at the burnt giant with some curiosity and asked, "Who is this?"

The navy is very keen on the giants. It can be seen from the number of giant lieutenant generals. Perhaps among the giants, there are few super strong individuals, such as generals.

But their lower limit is ridiculously high. Basically, if they don't die in infancy and are properly trained as teenagers, they can grow into generals.

As for Marshal Sakaski, who had some inexplicable enthusiasm for the Great Recruitment, now that he found a very strong-looking giant, he naturally wanted to recruit him into the navy.

Although Shanks had just expressed his intention to come, he had reached an agreement with Dorag to become a member of the coalition. Shanks was not the only one to join the coalition as a pirate, so Sakaski did not resist too much.

.

But he still doesn't want any giant to go astray and join a camp like the Red Haired Pirates, after all, after the war. But there is still a lot of liquidation work to be done, and no one knows whether they will continue to cooperate or fall out.

Therefore, it will be beneficial and harmless for the future to reduce any combat power in the red-haired group. Especially since this giant came with a team of giants, he is not alone, so the value of wooing him is even greater.

But after Sakaski's words came out, several people's expressions became extremely strange, including Shanks, Kuzan, and even Sengoku and He's eyes were evasive.

Even Sakaski felt such a strange and distinct atmosphere. He looked at the people around him curiously, not knowing what was going on.

In the end, it was Sengoku who discovered it first. He looked at the giant and said, "Ahem, that Sauro, welcome back."

"Tracy hehehe~ General of the Warring States Period, long time no see."

Sauro let out a strange burst of laughter, and the simple conversation between the two made Sakaski's face freeze. How could he forget about Sauro?

His entanglement with Savullo goes back many years. It was during the most radical years of his military career, and it was an event that could not wash away the stain on his entire career - the O'Hara incident.

.

In Sakaski's view at that time, what he did was not wrong. In other words, even today, when reviewing what he had done, Sakaski would not think he was wrong.

It's just that the experience of being a marshal in the past two years has broadened his horizons and mind, and he is no longer as radical as before. If it were him now, he would still give the same order back to the beginning.

However, maybe he himself could not do such extreme things. Sakaski also knew that a big reason for the estrangement between Kuzan and him was the completely different handling of the O'Hara incident.

manner.

Now after seeing that Sauro was still alive, Sakaski felt extremely complicated, but soon, he glanced at Kuzan.

Now that Sauro is still alive, does it mean that the gap between Sakaski and Kuzan is lessened? In this way, does the probability of bringing Kuzan back to the navy become higher?

Kuzan could not help but shudder when he felt Sakaski's scorching gaze. This little look was even more intense than when he looked at Lieutenant General Garp with admiration when he was young. This Sakaski.

I haven't seen you before. Do you have some disease?

Kizaru was a little surprised when he heard the conversation between the two. He knew very little about Sauro, or in other words, not many people in the entire navy knew each other.

He did not work with Sauro. There was indeed an opportunity back then, but he was too lazy to get involved, so he directly turned down the O'Hara matter.

However, Sauro was able to survive the Navy's demon-slaying order, which was indeed beyond his expectation, but this was not what Kizaru cared about the most.

What worries Kizaru the most is that since Sauro has been hiding for more than 20 years, why does he appear again at this time? And he appears together with red-haired Shanks.

For Shanks, Kizaru doesn't have a good impression at all now. After all, Shanks cracked the technique of his seeing and hearing Haki, and he cracked it violently with Overlord Haki. This has made Kizaru still unable to think of a good countermeasure.

.

Therefore, for such a dangerous person, with Kizaru's character, he would avoid contact if he could. On an occasion like today, if it was not a just position, he would turn around and leave.

It's a pity that he can't leave. After all, he, Porusalino, is the only active general stationed at the Navy Headquarters. In other words, if someone of the emperor's level really takes action, he, a general, will be the first to take action.

Block it.

After all, except him, no one is suitable to be the first to go up, Sakaski? He was once a general, and he is now a marshal. Warring States, Zefa, and Garp, the three who have been relegated to the second line, are even less suitable.

And what about Kuzan? They are no longer in the navy, and the navy can't afford it. And if Kuzan is really the first to take action, then they will lose the dignity of the navy.

Including the previous Blackbeard invasion, in fact, the first one to arrive was not Sakaski. Kizaru had already ran into the house, but Sakaski was too impulsive and took action without even knowing who the enemy was.

If Sakaski's attack had been stronger and Brynn, who was ringing the bell by the door, had been accidentally injured, then Charlotte Lingling probably wouldn't be so kind and kind at this time.

Therefore, Kizaru cannot leave at this time. At least until Shanks leaves, he has to stay here, even if he has to work overtime. He must stay here.

As for Sengoku, who was chatting with Sauro, he was a little distracted when Sauro called him "Sengoku General". Only then did he realize that more than twenty years had passed.

When the O'Hara incident occurred, he was just an admiral. Although he had become the only candidate in Kong's eyes, the transfer of authority had not yet begun.

But what about now? It has been almost two years since he resigned from the position of marshal. Time really flies by.

However, there is nothing wrong with Sauro calling him this. Although he has resigned, he still retains the rank of general, but does not hold the position.

Warring States waved his hand and said: "I am just a veteran now, and now the navy marshal is Sakaski. Why, are you more ignorant than me, a retired person?"

Relying on his seniority, Sengoku dared to joke. At the same time, he also wanted to see Sauro's attitude. Upon hearing this, Sauro smiled naively and looked at Sakaski with complicated eyes.

"Sakaski."

Sauro spoke, and Sakaski took a breath and looked up at the giant. Kuzan also turned his head slightly at this time and looked at Sauro. In fact, he did not want to see Sauro doing the same thing that he had done back then.

Keep grudges.

Because Sauro has no chance, let alone him and today's navy. Even twenty years ago, young Sauro had no chance against the navy that had just recovered from its sinking.

Fortunately, after a moment of silence, Sauro opened his mouth in an ugly manner and said, "I heard from Shanks that you want to vindicate O'Hara."

Hearing the news, even Kuzan couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at Sakaski in disbelief.

Rehabilitating O'Hara is equivalent to asking Sakaski, the naval marshal who was also the executor of the O'Hara incident, to admit his mistakes.

Based on Kuzan's understanding of Sakaski, Sakaski would apologize for doing something wrong, but would he really think that what he did twenty years ago was wrong?

Facing Sauro's question, Sakaski nodded firmly and said: "I promised Skyler that after the war, I would eliminate the World Government and restore the truth that had been deceived.

Regardless of the blank hundred years or the countless uprisings in the eight hundred years, including the O'Hara incident, I will find the truth about it all and make it public.

History that has been smeared and tampered with is not history, and achievements based on this will naturally not be achievements, but "

Following Sakaski's words, everyone's expressions softened, but Sakaski's turn made He and the others breathe again. Sakaski also paused for a moment before continuing:

"If the O'Hara incident happened a hundred times again, standing in that position, I would give the same order. The order of the sea cannot be violated. Therefore, if you want to hear me sorry for that incident. You don't

Will hear it."

Kuzan pursed his lips. Sure enough, Sakaski was still the same Sakaski. Even though he had matured a lot, he was still the naval model who said the truth and never regretted it.

"Your apology cannot bring back the dead, and I have no qualifications to ask you to do anything on their behalf. I'm just very grateful that they will finally be able to have their own deeds in the future, and they will no longer be erased."

Savullo shook his head. This big man had a more delicate mind than anyone else. He knew that Sakaski could not apologize, but even just acknowledging their existence would be a kind of compensation.

Hearing this, Sakaski lowered his head slightly, then raised it again and said, "Are you coming back? Today's navy can already accommodate your justice, Qing Pheasant, and you."

Hearing that Sakaski took the initiative to extend an olive branch, without the need for anyone else to do it or remind him, Crane's eyes grew a little more appreciative, and then he looked at Kuzan and Savullo expectantly.

Sauro did not answer immediately, but looked at Kuzan. After all, this was one of his few friends. Sauro had no idea about returning to the navy.

After all, he, who has been devoted to saving and restoring history over the years, has already transferred justice from the sea to the long river of time.

There is not much need for him to return. Of course, Sauro is not too resistant to returning. After all, Robin is now a marine. If Kuzan is willing to go back, he can become a marine again.

Kuzan pushed up his round sunglasses and said with a smile: "I never knew that you were a person willing to listen to my comfort."

If Sauro had been willing to listen to his authority, he would not have had to attack Sauro. Although Sauro survived in the end, he also paid a lot of price.

Kuzan was joking, but there was also a hint of complaint. After all, many of the prices Sauro paid were unnecessary. There was a better way than choosing to defect from the navy at that time.

Upon hearing this, Sauro scratched his head in embarrassment, while Kuzan looked at Sakaski, facing Sakaski's fiery eyes, and said:

"Sakaski, my justice does not lie in the navy. However, I also admit that you have done a good job as the navy marshal. The interrupted battle should wait until you retire. Now, you should be your navy marshal."

Hearing that Kuzan still refused, Sakaski was very disappointed and even a little depressed. Now that he was a marshal of the navy, he had no idea of ​​a just fight.

Now, he just wants to make the Navy better, and if Kuzan can return, then there is no doubt that the Navy will become a better Navy, but Kuzan still refused in the end.

"Since Kuzan has refused, then I will not return. After all, it was my choice to betray myself back then, and to come back now is really unjustifiable.

Moreover, I believe that after the war is over, you will also arrange a better position for us Elbaf."

Of course, when Sauro is talking about you, he does not refer to the navy, but to the entire coalition, or the new government after the war. The giant race, no matter in which era, will always be the race that the authorities want to win over most, and the new government will be no exception.

.

Seeing that both of them refused, Sakaski sighed, but quickly gathered his mood, looked at Sauro, and said with a smile:

"Okay, but in the future, if a young man from the giant family wants to join the navy, you can go and don't refuse."

"Tracy hehehe~"

Sauro smiled and nodded. He knew that what Sakaski said was not a polite word, and that the giant had never been treated poorly in his life and treatment in the navy.

Although over the years, when he was searching for historical traces, he learned that when the World Government recruited the first batch of giants, it used some deception techniques, but it did not treat them badly.

Therefore, if there are young people in Elbaf who want to join the navy in the future, Sauro will not refuse.

Just when the atmosphere was a little joyful, Warring States and He looked at each other, as if they had reached some consensus. He said: "Everyone, thank you for your help today. Why don't you go and rest with me? Our navy still has some things to do.

talk."

When Shanks heard this, he frowned. He was not a stubborn old man who didn't know how to behave. At this time, he seemed to be expelling guests. In other words, there were important things in the navy.

Thinking of this, Shanks waved his hand and said: "Lieutenant General He, no need, we have to rush to the Red Earth Continent, borrow your navy's harbor for repairs, and then set off."
