Chapter 416: What Happened?
Seagulls soar in the sky, their cries intertwined with the sound of the waves to form a unique symphony.
In contrast to this music.
Not far from the Sabaody Archipelago, there are a large number of Naval Headquarters-style warships docked.
On the sparkling sea level, swaying with the gentle sea breeze.
From a distance, it looks like a group of steel fortresses floating on the sea. Their majesty cannot be violated.
The existence of these warships caused the Sabaody Archipelago and pirate plans to become extinct during this period.
But for the residents of Sabaody Archipelago, these warships do not bring them more security.
Because they all know that a warship group of this size.
There must be an Admiral of Headquarters-level, or Naval Headquarters-level senior officer sitting on it.
Wherever such high-ranking Marine officers appear, they often bring bloodshed and large-scale destruction.
Because their appearance means that something big is happening nearby.
In other words, there is an extremely powerful pirate group appearing nearby.
Or perhaps the more fearsome revolutionary army has appeared.
The reason why Marine is here this time, no matter which of the above categories.
For ordinary civilians, it is a disaster.
You know, before Admiral "Kizaru" came to Sabaody Archipelago to hunt down the Supernova Pirates who beat up the Celestial Dragons, and almost demolished Sabaody Archipelago.
But that time, the scale was far less than it is today.
But, for Marine.
What civilians think is not important at all.
Because Marine's main service targets are gods——Celestial Dragons.
XXX*XX*X*XX
The new Admiral wears Marine's classic cloak of justice and sits on the command chair of the main ship.
But his expression was not relaxed at all, his eyes were full of doubts and anxiety, and his fingers kept tapping the armrests of the chair.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With the sound of his knocking, the atmosphere in the cabin became more and more depressing.
The sailors in the cabin, including Vice Admiral-level Marine officers, did not dare to express their anger.
After a long time...
This silence…………
First to be broken by Admiral himself.
He opened his eyelids slightly, stared at the messenger, and asked again calmly: "Have you not received the message yet?"
The voice was full of coldness and at the same time irresistible majesty.
The surrounding Vice Admirals also held their breaths.
Swish! A sound.
Just like making an appointment in advance.
The group looked at the messenger and waited for his answer.
He is a young third-class marine who serves as a messenger.
Or he was recruited through Marshal ‘Akainu’’s world conscription.
Where have I ever received this level of treatment?
Those Vice Admirals who were usually unattainable were now looking at me with serious expressions.
Not to mention the Admiral sitting at the top.
This kind of invisible psychological pressure can be imagined.
Facing Admiral's inquiry, the young Seaman Recruit didn't even dare to reach out and wipe off the sweat on his forehead as it slipped down his face.
He clutched his white Marine peaked hat tightly with his hands, kneaded it into different shapes, and replied intermittently with a trembling voice: "Yes... Sir... it has been an hour... there is no news from The fish men island came...
The phone bug has been silent for over two hours. "
After hearing the messenger's reply, Admiral's face became even more gloomy.
"Didn't I tell them before that they must report the situation on The Fish Men Island every half hour?"
Admiral's suppressed angry voice was so harsh and cold.
This put pressure on everyone present.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
"If something goes wrong, can you, as a recruit, take the responsibility?"
Seeing that the new Admiral was angry, a Vice Admiral who was good at eye-catching quickly pointed the finger at the new sailor.
And it was echoed by several other Vice Admirals.
This question was like a cold arrow hidden in the dark, shooting at the young messenger soldier without warning, making him feel a little dazed.
The messenger could feel his heart beating violently, 'Bang! Bang! Bang!', and every beat seemed to remind him of his great responsibility.
My ears started to buzz... and echo.
He felt as if the air around him had solidified, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
'Do you want me to take the blame?'
'Do you want me to die?'
These Vice Admirals who usually seemed tall and noble were now so disgusting in his eyes.
The Vice Admiral, who was clearly scolding me, had been kindly praising himself for his future...
Of course he knew he had to deliver the news as quickly as possible and keep communication flowing.
The problem is that the warship group that has dived to a depth of 10,000 meters under the sea has yet to reply!
There is nothing he can do.
The young Seaman Recruit felt very helpless and frightened at this moment.
He didn't know if Admiral would let him take responsibility for the whole thing because of Vice Admiral's words.
The new Admiral yelled: "That's enough!"
"This is the time, don't be so petty!"
There was a flash of cannibalistic anger in those eyes, but it was suppressed by Admiral himself.
In Marine, there are too many rats like this stealing high positions, which has been holding us back.
Only then did the Naval Headquarters, which had the most powerful military force on this planet, feel powerless in the face of a ragtag group of pirates.
Another Vice Admiral who was a peacemaker came out to mediate and said: "Admiral, I think [Bardwin] Vice Admiral is a general person and will never disobey your instructions."
The Vice Admiral who wanted to put the blame on the messenger immediately said: "Yes, yes, maybe it's [Ronse] Vice Admiral..."
Subsequently, the other Vice Admirals also began to use skillful blame-shifting techniques.
Chirping incessantly.
The new Admiral pinched his temples, almost unable to suppress his temper.
It's because these people are these kinds of things that we didn't send them to the bottom of the sea to perform the Buster Call, but just kept them around.
Compared to the divine opponents, the pig teammates caused greater damage.
It's just that these pig teammates all have Celestial Dragons background as their backers, so even if he is in the position of Admiral, it will not be easy to deal with this group of garbage for a while.
And compared to these boring anger, the uneasiness that enveloped his heart made him even more irritable.
[Badwin] Vice Admiral has openly surrendered to him, so it is impossible to disobey his orders at this stage.
As for the other one, hehe...
Aokiji is gone, he should consider his situation instead of causing trouble.
His intuition told him that something was wrong! Half!
But reason told him that intuition was not trustworthy.
Because hundreds of well-prepared warships went to attack the unprepared The Fish Men Island, how could anything happen?
