Chapter 320

Looking at those shocking photos, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan fell silent.

The World Government specifically sent CP0 to tell him this news, which was clearly a demonstration.

Without any cover-up, it was a blatant threat.

If such power descended on the Navy Headquarters... Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan couldn't help but rub his temples.

At this moment, a figure immediately appeared in his mind.

Karl! I need you!

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan picked up the Den Den Mushi without hesitation and dialed Karl’s number. Anyway, after Karl awakened, he was Move Move Like Borsalino, with extremely high mobility.

Five minutes later.

Karl appeared at the door of the Fleet Admiral’s office.

"Look at these photos~"

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan got straight to the point and handed the photos of the Lulusia Kingdom to Karl.

Karl took the photos without a word and began to observe them. The entire office fell into a dead silence, quiet to the point of being terrifying.

Swish, swish~

After quickly reading through the photos, Karl looked up at Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan: "The World Government did this?"

"That's right."

Karl put down the photos and tilted his head to look at Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan: "What's wrong? Is it very powerful?"

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan: ???

"The power to destroy a country? Isn't that powerful enough?"

Karl shook his head: "If they could destroy all the countries that launched rebellions in one day, then the Navy would be the World Government's most loyal dog from now on. But, is destroying a country in one day really that hard?"

"A Buster Call can do it, every one of the former Four Emperors could do it, Dynamite Rocks can do it, Sea Kings can do it, Ancient Weapons can do it..."

"Give me some time, and I can do it too."

"So, why be afraid?"

Hearing Karl say this, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan nodded thoughtfully. That's right, he could destroy a country too, so why was he feeling fear toward this power?

"No, you're changing the concept. You have to know that our intelligence department didn't receive any news about the Lulusia Kingdom incident. This means the World Government didn't send the Holy Knights or CP departments, but used some kind of weapon to destroy the Lulusia Kingdom."

"And this process was instantaneous."

Karl waved his hand: "I admit, the World Government does have a trump card, but this trump card is one they would never dare to use against us."

"Even if they destroyed Marineford, there are countless other Navy branches in the world. Are they going to destroy them one by one?"

"Moreover, as long as they dare to fall out with the Navy, the Navy will stand on the side of the Revolutionary Army without hesitation and declare war on the World Government. Tell me, do they dare to touch the Navy?"

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan shook his head, thinking that the World Government shouldn't be stupid enough to push the Navy, the hegemon of the sea, into the Revolutionary Army’s camp.

Wait, the World Government seems to have done similar things quite often...

"So, the more this happens, the tougher we must be. Tell the World Government that we are afraid of nothing. The existence of our Navy has only one purpose: to eliminate pirates!"

"Clean up their own mess; don't expect the Navy to wipe their asses for them."

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan smiled helplessly: "You say it lightly, but what if the World Government gets desperate?"

"Desperate? That would be great. Under what circumstances would the World Government get desperate? Only when they can't beat the Revolutionary Army. At that time, if the World Government has even the slightest thought of dragging the whole world down with them, the Navy must strike hard and personally sweep the World Government into the grave of history."

"To be honest, I really hope the World Government gets desperate. After all, I've been unhappy with them for a long time."

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan: ......

"You really dare to say anything! Then what do you think we should do now?"

Karl said confidently: "Everything as usual. The Reverie should be held, and the Revolutionary Army should be pursued. We must never actively intervene in the war between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government."

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan nodded: "Alright, I understand. Let's not talk about this for now. There is another problem, regarding Kaido."

"According to our reports, the Straw Hat Pirates went to Kaido’s territory after leaving Totto Land and are now locked in a fierce battle with Kaido. I was originally planning to send people to intervene, but you understand the current situation; the Navy cannot be distracted to clean up the mess in Wano."

"Unless, Straw Hat Luffy can defeat Kaido."

Karl’s mouth curled slightly: "What if Straw Hat Luffy really wins?"

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan was stunned. Obviously, he had never thought the Straw Hats would win. After a brief thought, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan replied: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."

"If Kaido loses, the Navy must enter Wano and take control of Wano’s Seastone resources."

Who has the greatest demand for Seastone in the world? That would undoubtedly be the Navy.

Seastone handcuffs, Seastone prisons, Seastone bullets, Seastone warships...

Seastone is absolutely the most important strategic resource besides Holy Light Shells and Healing Shells. Previously, the Navy could only obtain Seastone through the World Government because the World Government controlled the trading channels for Seastone.

It’s quite funny when you think about it: the World Government relies on the protection money collected by the Navy to get Seastone supplies from Kaido, and then the Navy has to rely on the military budget given by the World Government to buy Seastone from the World Government again...

This is why Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan would act against the norm and believe that if there is an opportunity, the Navy must enter Wano.

Karl could understand Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan’s thoughts very well. If it were him, he would do the same, because before Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan thought of this, he had already done it.

It’s just that what he controlled wasn't Seastone, but Sky Shells.

"Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, I have an idea."

"Go ahead."

Karl picked up a piece of white paper from the desk and started drawing with a pen.

"Look, this is Mary Geoise. The Reverie is being held right now, and the Navy needs to assign personnel to be responsible for security during the Reverie. This means the Navy cannot send troops to intervene in the dispute in Wano, right!"

"That's right, what else?"

"This is Wano. Kaido and the Straw Hat Pirates are fighting. Of course, Kaido has occupied Wano for many years. In the style of pirates, there is naturally no shortage of resistance forces within Wano. In other words, the current situation of the Beasts Pirates is actually not optimistic."

"You mean, the Straw Hats really might defeat Kaido? Is that it?"

Karl nodded: "Two years ago, the Straw Hats had no chance at all, but now, it's hard to say. Don't forget, Straw Hat Luffy’s fruit."

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan’s pupils constricted: "You mean, the Nika Fruit?"

Now it was Karl’s turn to be shocked: "How did you know?"

"I looked through the files from over a decade ago. Shanks became famous precisely because he snatched the Nika Fruit back then."

"Combined with Shanks’ performance during the Summit War, it’s not hard to guess that Straw Hat Luffy is so highly regarded by Shanks precisely because he ate the Nika Fruit."

"You saw it?"

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan smiled mysteriously: "Because when Shanks first started out, some people also called him Straw Hat Boy..."
