Speak. What is it you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai, I will be direct,\" Kong replied in a deep, steady voice. \"A major event will soon take place in Mariejois, the region where Marineford is located. The World Government hopes that you will not involve yourself in this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are forbidden from entering the area where Mariejois is located.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Shirogai responded with faint amusement. \"That sounds rather distant, considering that I am, at least in name, a Marine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you are telling me, this so-called Navy Chief Instructor, not to involve myself in the major event that is about to occur in Mariejois?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Shirogai's lips curved into a teasing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is fine. If something major happens at Marineford, then simply summon me, this Vice Admiral, to protect it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong's mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summon you, a Pirate whose strength surpasses the Four Emperors, to protect Marineford?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have not actually started believing you are part of the Marine faction, have you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you truly stood on the side of the Marines, then the Whitebeard Pirates would hardly be a threat at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong sighed inwardly, though his tone remained calm and unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will soon understand what is coming. As compensation, the World Government is willing to fulfill several of your demands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\" Shirogai scoffed lightly. \"A pacifier to stop me from causing trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the miniature Den Den Mushi with a more serious gaze, then smiled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You trust me that much? You think that if I promise not to go, I truly will not? That is rather naive, is it not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The World Government trusts your character,\" Kong said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words would have made countless pirates burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trust the character of a pirate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How utterly absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Kong himself felt uncertain as he said it. Yet his thoughts drifted to the judgment of the Navy's great staff officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as Shirogai agrees not to intervene in the upcoming war, he will absolutely not go back on his word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsuru had spoken with absolute confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong had not expected her to place such firm trust in the integrity of a pirate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the public execution of Portgas D. Ace was confirmed, the Marines convened an emergency meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the conference, Tsuru clearly laid out the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The other Four Emperors are unlikely to act due to their past battles and conflicting interests, but we must still remain on high alert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the greatest danger lies with a Vice Admiral we recently appointed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The de facto Fifth Emperor, Shirogai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marines did not fully conceal his true identity. While the lower ranks remained ignorant, the Vice Admirals and higher officials were fully aware of the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood that this so-called ally was, in reality, a terrifyingly powerful pirate forced into an uneasy partnership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A solemn expression settled over Tsuru's aged face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Shirogai truly chooses to intervene, the Marines have no spare force capable of restraining him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A young and vigorous Fifth Emperor with unfathomable power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Combined with the old Four Emperors, the World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the overwhelming might of the Whitebeard Pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one can predict what kind of catastrophe will unfold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleet Admiral Sengoku frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsuru's concerns mirrored his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, Shirogai had no reason to help Whitebeard. In fact, a pirate of his level should welcome the fall of the old Four Emperors to make space for his own rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet logic had never applied to Shirogai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man capable of wielding multiple Devil Fruit powers already defied reason itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All known rules twisted when they were applied to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Sengoku knew one more dangerous truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straw Hat Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and a close companion of Shirogai, and Ace, the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, were sworn brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such ties, the possibility of Shirogai entering the war could not be dismissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why do we not send troops to eliminate him before the announcement?\" a naive Vice Admiral suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rejected,\" Tsuru replied calmly without even looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vice Admiral refused to give up and turned toward the three Admirals for support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Admirals remained indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One slept lazily beneath an eye mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One gazed idly into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last calmly smoked a cigar while reviewing documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers who had once fought Shirogai exchanged helpless glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man truly does not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Marines were capable of threatening Shirogai, would they have needed to shamelessly appoint him as Navy Chief Instructor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ignorant Vice Admiral could only retreat in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not just ask him directly?\" Garp said casually as he slurped noodles. \"Why sit here thinking so hard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid hides plenty of schemes,\" he continued, \"but he is no scoundrel who breaks his word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unlike the World Government, which lies as naturally as breathing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior officers clasped their hands, gazed at the ceiling, and pretended not to hear the Hero of the Navy openly slandering the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he says he will not interfere, then he unquestionably will not interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garp drained his bowl, slammed it down, and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garp, where are you going?\" Sengoku asked wearily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, this old man is going to Impel Down to see whether my grandson has been bullied by you lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without turning back, Garp strode out of the room, laughter echoing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku sighed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood Garp's pain, masked as laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Sengoku had hoped to keep Garp out of this tragedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the World Government had overruled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the full might of Whitebeard, how could they afford to leave such a powerful warrior unused?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing the tangled relationship between Garp and Ace, the order was given.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice Admiral Garp would guard the execution platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku knew exactly what the World Government believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That the Hero of the Navy would never allow personal emotions to endanger the Marines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And noble people were always the most convenient tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guard your adopted grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watch him be executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watch him die with your own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fools!\" Sengoku suddenly cursed aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vice Admirals stared at him in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Admirals reacted at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji lifted his eye mask slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kizaru's wrinkled face twisted into a strange smile. \"How truly frightening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akainu snorted coldly, his gaze still fixed on his documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku's voice deepened with iron resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Marines do not have the strength to contend with another Emperors-level powerhouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let the World Government handle the negotiations with Shirogai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will focus solely on defeating the Whitebeard Pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milestones\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>100
