Chapter 39 The Warring States Period's Response
At this moment, the Warring States Marshal was drinking tea in his office.
Thinking back on the mess of the past few days, Sengoku shook his head in distress.
After dealing with things for several days, it's finally all done, and I can finally have a little time to rest.
The Warring States Marshal silently prayed, "I hope nothing else goes wrong; he is already exhausted, both physically and mentally."
But before the Warring States Marshal could even rest, the familiar shouts and knocking came from outside again.
"Bang, bang, bang! Reporting to Marshal Zhan Guo, another major event has occurred!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the Warring States Marshal's lips twitched.
We haven't even finished talking yet, how come something big has happened?
"Come in," Marshal Zhanguo said weakly.
The messenger naturally heard the weak voice of the Warring States Marshal, but he didn't think much of it.
The reporter entered the office and saw Marshal Zhan Guo lying in a chair, holding his head in distress. It seemed that Marshal Zhan Guo had been working hard and was exhausted!
The correspondent felt both admiration and sympathy for the Warring States Marshal.
What a fine marshal! (＾v＾)
If the Warring States marshal knew what the messenger was thinking, he would definitely say, "No, no, no, I didn't want to be a marshal anymore. I'm exhausted every day."
When the messenger entered, the warlord, looking exhausted, asked, "What happened this time?"
The messenger said with a wry smile, "Reporting to Marshal Sengoku, Colonel Rat of the 16th Division of the East China Sea Navy has been out of contact for some time now?"
Upon hearing the messenger's words, the Warring States Marshal frowned. Could this already be considered a death in battle?
Thinking of this, the Warring States Marshal asked solemnly, "What exactly is going on?"
Seeing the solemn expression on Marshal Zhan Guo's face, the messenger quickly said, "According to the messenger from the 16th branch, Colonel Rat went to a village called Cocosia in the East China Sea."
"But we don't know why they went there, or what happened. We just can't get in touch with them!"
After hearing what the messenger said, the Warring States Marshal's expression became even more solemn.
"It's almost certain that Colonel Rat is probably dead, but who would dare to attack a navy officer in the East China Sea!"
Although he was just a branch colonel, at this crucial moment, he was completely slapping the navy in the face.
Just a few days ago, Loguetown was invaded by that Blue Wolf Pirates, and the negative impact has finally subsided.
Now even the branch colonel has been murdered by someone unknown. Isn't this a serious slap in the face to their navy?
This is not only a slap in the face to their navy, but also a provocation to their navy!
Thinking of this, the Warring States Marshal's face changed from solemn to gloomy.
Marshal Sengoku clenched his fists, wishing he could grind that bastard who had provoked their navy to dust.
The messenger was very uneasy when he saw that Marshal Zhan Guo looked very unwell, and he just wanted to leave this dangerous office as soon as possible.
After a long while, the Sengoku Marshal calmed himself down, then took out a golden Den Den Mushi and dialed Aokiji's number.
pere pere pere… (Brothers, add your own voiceover)
The Den Den Mushi dialed for a while, but no one answered. Just as Sengoku was getting a little impatient, Aokiji's lazy voice came from the other end, as if he hadn't woken up yet!
"Oh dear, Marshal Sengoku, is something the matter? I was taking a nap!"
That's right, Aokiji was taking a nap at that moment. After arriving in Loguetown, he visited Smoker and, seeing that he was alright, took over Smoker's office and slept soundly (in short, slacking off).
This greatly troubled Smoker, as he couldn't win a fight or even resort to verbal abuse.
Furthermore, Aokiji came to the East Blue to help him, so Smoker let Aokiji have his way.
Aokiji seems to have forgotten these past two days that Sengoku sent him to intimidate the pirates of the East Blue!
It just so happens that Aokiji was still fast asleep today, but unexpectedly, the Sengoku Marshal called, which led to this scene.
Upon hearing Aokiji's lazy words, the Warring States Marshal wished he could come to Aokiji's side and give him a good beating.
"I'm busy as a bee here all day, while you're sound asleep in the East China Sea!"
"Have you already forgotten what I told you to do in the East China Sea?!"
"Hoo," Marshal Sengoku took a deep breath to calm himself down, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to hold back and give Aokiji a good scolding.
Aokiji was puzzled by the silence of the Sengoku commander. He wondered if the Sengoku commander had made a mistake.
Just as Aokiji was about to ask again, Sengoku's serious voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
"Aokiji! Another major event has occurred in the East Blue, and I need you to go and investigate."
When Aokiji heard what the Warring States Marshal said, he was stunned. What was going on in the East Sea?
Aokiji was only taken aback for a moment before asking again, "Marshal Sengoku, what has happened this time?"
Sengoku slowly replied to Aokiji's words, "Colonel Rat, the commander of the 16th branch of the East Blue Navy base, has been out of contact for some time now, having gone to a village called Cocoyasi Village."
Upon hearing the words of the Sengoku Marshal, Aokiji was stunned again: "Being out of contact for a period of time should be considered as being dead, right?"
But Aokiji couldn't understand what had happened. Was he killed by pirates?
Or perhaps it was that guy in Rogge a few days ago?
Upon thinking about this, Aokiji's expression first turned troubled, but then became serious.
If it's a pirate, just kill him. But if it's that person, it's really a bit difficult!
The most dangerous thing is not knowing the enemy's bottom line.
Thinking of this, Aokiji asked, "You, the Sengoku Marshal, do you think it's possible that this guy called the Killer was responsible?"
After hearing Aokiji finish speaking on the other half of the Den Den Mushi, the Sengoku Marshal fell into deep thought.
Aokiji's words are very likely true. He subconsciously thought it was the pirates who did it, but he didn't expect the killer.
Speaking of killers, even the Sengoku commander couldn't help but recall the news Smoker reported back then.
Anyone who stands in his way, whether a navy officer or a pirate, is his enemy.
When the Warring States Marshal saw these words, he felt that this person was truly arrogant.
But if the disappearance of Colonel Rat really was the work of those so-called killers, then things could get really complicated.
If not handled properly, it could offend a powerful young expert with great potential!
Marshal Sengoku was still very troubled by this thought: "I can only hope that it really wasn't the killer who did it!"
“Otherwise, we’ll have no choice but to kill him,” a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Warring States Marshal.
Once he came to his senses, Fleet Admiral Sengoku said to Aokiji on the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Go check out Cocoyasi Village first. If it really was that killer, then don't hold back. Suppress or kill him directly."
"But remember, we must not let him escape."
Hearing the Sengoku commander's resolute words, Aokiji's heart tightened: "This is really going to be troublesome!"
P.S.: I'll try to write one chapter a day! ┗(＾0＾)┓
