Chapter 375: The Navy Wants to Rebel?

New Marineford, the Navy Headquarters.

Inside the grand conference room, even after the meeting ended, the high-ranking Navy officials led by Sengoku did not rush to leave.

Instead, they waited, waiting for the spies planted by the World Government within the Navy to report to the Five Elders, waiting to see how the Five Elders would cover up this matter.

Given the loyalty of those lackeys to the Celestial Dragons, they would absolutely report this matter to the Five Elders.

In fact, that was exactly what happened.

Holy Land Mary Geoise, the Pangea Castle.

In the spacious and bright Room of Power, the Five Elders took their positions in turn; Saint Volyuli hung up the Den Den Mushi and looked at the other Four Elders.

"Gentlemen, news of Caesar's secret experiments on human gigantification has leaked; the Navy is now aware, and there is great dissatisfaction within the Navy regarding this."

Saint Saturn laughed in extreme anger.

"So what if they are dissatisfied?"

"The Navy is merely a dog raised by the World Government; does the master need to report to the dog before doing anything?"

"There is no need to pay attention to the Navy's attitude."

"The immediate priority is to ensure that Saint Saint Saint Saiwen and Harald arrive at the Holy Land on schedule; once my lord Imu has completely controlled Wano and Elbaf, the Navy will be irrelevant to the World Government."

With the mighty physique of the Giant Warrior, one person is equivalent to a Navy fleet.

Moreover, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen and the Giant King Harald are the strongest in the world beneath my lord Imu.

The Morning Star Corps is even more brimming with talents; compared to that, what are the Navy?

"I agree." The other Four Elders nodded in unison.

"We indeed need not pay attention to the Navy."

Regarding how the Five Elders would cover up the matter of using children for experiments, Sengoku had imagined countless possibilities.

For instance, that Caesar conducted experiments on children privately, and the Five Elders were unaware beforehand, or that they shifted the blame onto certain Celestial Dragons.

However, Sengoku never could have imagined: the voices of dissatisfaction within the Navy were simply ignored by the Five Elders.

"Everyone, disperse," Zephyr muttered.

"In the eyes of the Five Elders, the Navy is merely a dog raised by the World Government; in a good mood, they toss a bone, in a bad mood, they are too lazy to even pay attention to the Navy."

In normal times, perhaps someone would have refuted Zephyr, but the situation at this very moment left the group of high-ranking Navy officials speechless.

The Five Elders did not take the Navy seriously at all; they had become so perfunctory that they were too lazy to even fabricate a pretext to save face.

They even tacitly permitted the Navy not to interfere.

If they cannot protect unarmed children, if they can discard the most basic conscience, what kind of Justice is the Navy still upholding?

Claiming to champion Justice, yet turning a blind eye to the suffering of children; holding high the banner of Justice, yet bowing their heads to the perpetrators.

Such Justice is not merely laughable.

It is simply a self-deceiving joke.

If they cannot protect the weak, if they cannot guard the bottom line of conscience, they might as well take off the cloak of Justice immediately and go home to sell sweet potatoes.

Seeing the atmosphere in the conference room become increasingly oppressive, Sengoku gritted his teeth and dialed Saint Saturn's Den Den Mushi.

"The Navy needs an explanation."

"An explanation?" The Den Den Mushi mimicked Saint Saturn's tone, shouting the question loudly.

"Sengoku, tell me, since when does the World Government need to explain its actions to the Navy?"

"What, does the Navy want to rebel?"

Saint Saturn's words were deafening to Sha Eryu; hearing the words, the group of high-ranking Navy officials grew even more silent, while Sengoku roared into the Den Den Mushi.

"Conducting experiments on weak children..."

Beep beep beep beep beep~

Looking at the hung-up Den Den Mushi, Sengoku spat fresh blood in anger, his eyes went black, and he couldn't even stand steadily.

Garp hurriedly stepped forward to support Sengoku, then looked helplessly at the other high-ranking Navy officials.

"Stop looking, go do whatever you need to do."

Saint Saint Saiwen, hurry up and come out to rebel; if you wait any longer, Sengoku will be angered to death by the Five Elders.

Garp supported Sengoku back to the Fleet Admiral's office; as soon as the office door closed, Sengoku suddenly recovered as if nothing had happened.

"You... you were just pretending just now?"

Sengoku shook his head with a smile: "Half was anger from the Five Elders, half was pretending to take advantage of the situation."

For the future of his beloved son, Rosward, Sengoku was willing to perform a bitter flesh trick, acting for the other Navy officers who possessed conscience.

Look, this is the World Government.

If in the near future someone is willing to raise the banner to overthrow the World Government, you must carefully consider where to go.

Whether to continue serving the World Government, or to choose Justice and conscience and head to the Four Seas to suppress riots.

Hearing these words, Garp wordlessly turned his mouth aside.

"You old guy, you almost even tricked me."

Seeing Sengoku's triumphant look, Garp continued: "A few days ago, I sent Ace and Luffy to Wano to settle down; that guy Saint Saint Saiwen even adopted Luffy as his godson."

"Nani?!" Sengoku's pupils shook with shock.

Good heavens.

He was willing to perform a bitter flesh trick in front of the headquarters officials for his beloved son, while that old thing Garp had already sent his two grandsons to Saint Saint Saint Saiwen's side.

And they even became Saint Saint Saint Saiwen's godsons.

Is there any justice in the world?

"You, Garp."

It seems I must make Rosward marry and have children as soon as possible, build a relationship before Saint Saint Saint Saiwen rebels, so as not to have trouble recognizing godparents in the future.

Karp spread his hands and explained.

"I have no choice either."

"You know the revolutionaries have been making quite a stir these past few years. I worried the World Government would use Dragon's son as a pretext, so I joined Dragon in sending Ace and Luffy to Inazuma."

"Whitebeard's daughter is in Inazuma too."

"And Kaido's daughter."

"And Charlotte Lingling's son."

At this point, Karp revealed a little of the Morning Star Crew's strength, lest Sengoku doubt that Saint Saint Saiwen could succeed in rebelling.

"Hiss." Sengoku drew in a sharp breath.

"I see, that explains it."

Previously, Sengoku could not understand how Saint Saint Saint Saiwen could believe he could overthrow the World Government; relying solely on Inazuma and the revolutionaries was surely insufficient.

According to Karp's account—

Whitebeard's, Kaido's, and Charlotte Lingling's children are all in Inazuma, meaning three Emperors of the Sea have chosen to advance or retreat alongside Saint Saint Saint Saiwen.

And Shiki himself was already part of the Morning Star Crew.

With this, the Morning Star Crew, the revolutionaries, and the Four Emperors advancing or retreating together, rebellion might indeed succeed.

However, with the forces Saint Saint Saint Saiwen holds, even if the rebellion succeeds, he would likely struggle to maintain order across the entire sea.

By then, the Marines would have their purpose.

And as Fleet Admiral, he would become the most steadfast support for his beloved son, Donquixote Rosinante.

Thinking this, Sengoku let out a long sigh; his anger, previously stirred by the Five Elders' disregard for the Marines, finally eased somewhat.

"I can't stand it another day."

"Wait a bit longer," Karp said casually. "Perhaps before long, that Morning Star in the sky will dispel this endless night."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku fell into deep thought.

Morning Star specifically refers to the bright planet appearing in the eastern sky before sunrise, also known as the Morning Bright Star.

"Morning Star... Saint Saint Saint Saiwen truly has culture; he thought of this day when he formed his pirate crew."

Mihawk: I named it, me!
