Chapter 132 Target, Sakazuki
Smoker remained silent for a long time.
He recalled that morning many years ago.
I recall that boy who sailed in a dilapidated little boat and flew a cheap pirate flag.
Even from a distance, Smoker could see the unparalleled fervor in the boy's eyes—a wild ambition to set the world ablaze!
……
You have never changed.
……
Finally, Smoker stubbed out his cigar on the ground with a soft thud.
"madman!"
He muttered a curse under his breath, but the impatience and irritation in his eyes faded, replaced by a resolute determination to go all in.
In fact, Smoker made his choice many years ago, starting from the moment he brought this boy into the Navy.
If I can't change you, then...
I will definitely support you and will always be watching over you!
……
Smoker turned to Dol and took a deep breath: "Dol... what do you say?"
Peeping at the Throne of the Sky...
This crime is even more unforgivable to the World Government than the hunting of Celestial Dragons by the Hunters.
Having not seen each other for many years, Smoker couldn't be sure if Dol's thoughts had changed.
Dol smiled wryly: "What else can I say? If I don't join, I'll be killed."
"Life is very precious."
……
Looking at Allen again, Smoker said in a deep voice, "No matter what, you're still better than those guys, but..."
"The World Government has existed for eight hundred years. It's not that no one wants to clean up the filth accumulated over hundreds of years. Not to mention Vice Admiral Garp, the pressure you put on me is not as great as that of Kuzan."
"It's too early to be hoping for that position now."
……
Allen smiled faintly: "The goal should always be ambitious, but we can take it one step at a time."
"What I said at the beginning was just to form a faction to compete for the right to speak, not that I would betray the World Government now."
"It's you who insisted on bringing up faith with me, making it sound like I'm about to go to heaven and kill the Five Elders today."
……
……
Is this my fault?
Hearing Allen's words, Smoker breathed a sigh of relief.
He really did have the illusion that Allen was going to attack Mary Geoise just now.
Thankfully... this kid still has some sense and hasn't completely gone mad.
Allen took out a stack of documents from his pocket and said in a low voice, "According to my investigation over the past few years, Colonel Dacfi of the G-9 branch is extremely dissatisfied with the current state of the Navy. His usual remarks are similar to yours. You can make contact with him."
"And there's Brigadier General Felia from the headquarters communications department. She has ideals, and her position is crucial..."
"I have had contact with Major General Mora, who is stationed in Chambord. He has helped me pass on messages over the past two years."
……
Allen rattled off a string of names, some of which even Smoker had never heard of.
"Of course, the only pretext for contacting them can be 'to establish a naval faction centered on me.' If we start by saying that we might be going against the World Government, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it."
……
Allen's smile held a hint of mischief: "Once they're on my ship, and things develop to a certain point, they won't have a choice."
Smoker took the file, flipped to the last page, and the name he saw made his pupils shrink.
……
"Are you kidding me...?"
At the very end of the document was the name of the current Admiral!
Sakazuki!!
……
Even Kuzan and Smoker weren't that shocked, but Sakazuki...
This man, who once served under the Sengoku period marshal, has always strictly followed the orders of the World Government!
"I have been in contact with Borusalino and Cuzan."
Allen said calmly, "Borsalino is known for his ambiguous justice and his smooth-talking approach, but he has carried out the most World Government missions in the Navy, and his completion rate is also the highest."
The fact that he was in charge of such an important department as the Science Unit shows that the Five Elders have great trust in Kizaru.
The same applies to Kizaru; he is unlikely to take any drastic actions before the World Government crosses his line multiple times.
……
"Kuzan..."
Allen hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "He's an old friend of yours, you should know that."
"He prefers to find the answer himself rather than have us give him one."
"Let me be frank..."
"A person who wanders aimlessly is of no use."
……
……
Smoker remained silent for a long time, then sighed, "Even so... if Admiral Akainu knew your intentions, he would be the first to kill you!"
"He is... 'Absolute Justice'!"
"Even if it means sacrificing innocent lives, he will uphold order on the sea. You can't win over such an extreme person!"
……
Allen smiled faintly: "The more extreme the 'love,' the more thoroughly it will transform into 'hate.'"
"When such a person's beliefs crumble..."
Allen drew back the last card and continued, "You don't need to worry about this; I'll handle it myself."
"Go back and give Sengoku a heads-up. Tell him to go on the mission and have him send someone else to take over the G-8 branch."
Smoker thought the person speaking was a general, not just a minor general, because of this attitude of completely disregarding the rules of headquarters.
Smoker reluctantly put the documents away, tacitly agreeing to Allen's arrangement: "Since you have that idea, it would be better if we had a base."
"G-8 is a branch that is relatively close to headquarters. Even if you don't want it, you can give it to Dol."
"Hey!!" Dol said indignantly, hands on hips, "Don't act like I can only become the base commander if you give it to me."
"It won't be long before I'm the head of a branch!"
……
That's great.
Allen gave a perfunctory word of encouragement and stood up.
As the two looked up, Allen swiftly touched their foreheads with his fingertips, channeling his pupil power into them.
His skills were much more proficient than before, and the strange feeling vanished in an instant.
"What is that?!"
Smoker rubbed his temples, feeling something crawl into his brain.
……
Allen gave a brief explanation, retrieved his Vivre Card from Smoker, tore off a corner, and handed it to him.
"Go find Golden Lion as soon as possible. I don't want that old geezer to die in an accident."
……
"Let's go, Dor."
"Huh?" Dol pointed to himself, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't you say you wanted me and Commander Smoker to go find the Golden Lion?"
"That was originally how it was, but after thinking about it..."
Allen pointed to the huge White Wolf docked in the harbor: "I think I need someone to steer the ship. Why don't you come with me?"
……
"Are you kidding me! I'm a top candidate for promotion to branch officer of G-14, and you want me to be your adjutant?!"
"unless……"
Allen ignored her and walked toward the ship's ladder on his own.
"Hey! Why don't you just invite me properly? I might say yes!"
……
"Don't I have any dignity?! You're making me... Hey! Slow down, don't put the ladder away!"
……
……
Dol jumped onto the White Wolf, helplessly watching Allen's retreating figure.
What Lieutenant General Tsuru taught me was completely useless... all that whining and throwing tantrums...
