Chapter 80 Great Merit Part 1

After a moment of silence, Sengoku spoke first: “Bring all the Recruits back and leave the rest to me.”

“Fleet Admiral…”

“Shut up and do as I say!”

Sengoku’s majestic roar suppressed Momonga’s anxious voice: “I am the Fleet Admiral, obey my orders!”

The air froze for a long moment before Momonga raised his right hand in a firm gaze and gave a military salute, “Yes Sir!”

In the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku listened to the answer from Den Den Mushi with a bitter smile on his face. As the Marine Fleet Admiral who had been in this post for more than ten years, he has long seen the truth behind the so-called duties of a “Marine Fleet Admiral”:

This is Trap Position

If the Marines lost against some Pirates then he would be the one who would take the heat for that.

If Pirates attack some town stationed by Marines then he would be the one who would take the heat for that.

If the Heavenly Tribute is robbed on the way then he would be the one who would take the heat for that. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

He also took the heat after the Revolutionary Army was established and everything they did after that. Even if Garp speaks loudly in front of Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars), Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) blames him for not disciplining his Marines!

How long has he been a Marine Fleet Admiral and how long has he been a scapegoat!

Obviously, the last Fleet Admiral “Steel Bone” Kong could be promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army by virtue of them capturing and executing the “Pirate King” Roger. As a result, it was now his turn.

Sengoku is considered to have seen it all, he does not want to be able to become a big officer in the future. It would be enough to comfort his life if he paid his blood for the stability of this Sea.

Isn’t it just taking the blame? I’m used to it!

Sighing, Sengoku pulled away from this serious topic and asked, “What about the recruit? What are the casualties?”

“Seven dead, three seriously injured, minor injuries not counting ……”

Speaking of this, Momonga also had a bitter smile on his face. He had thought that the Recruits this time would be able to break any previously set records the Marines but he didn’t expect that a sudden Beast Tide would cause Recruits to suffer heavy losses.

“Seven Good seedlings!!”

Sengoku felt his heartache a little, these Recruits are not ordinary people recruited randomly on the side of a road, they are the real geniuses who have been carefully cultivated and selected among thousands of people!

Although the purpose was to make them see themselves in the crisis and strengthen their beliefs, this time the loss was too heavy! Sengoku could foresee Zephyr’s face darkening as he questioned him why there were so many casualties in survival training. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

For these little guys, even if they weren’t officially accepted as his disciples like Rowen, Zephyr still treated them as his family. The Marine Headquarters is a cruel survival experience, and Zephyr is the one that worries the most every time they go out to sea.

But… Rowen?

For Zephyr’s disciple who had earned this title for the first time in many years, Sengoku couldn’t help but keep a bit more hope in his heart and asked, “Where is Rowen? How is he?”

“Rowen…”

Do you say he is angry or is he smiling?

Momonga’s mood at the moment is like a tipped-over bottle of five flavors, this Beast Tide and even the future war with the Hell Island Crab was ultimately caused by Rowen.

And he can’t say that there is no connection at all. Does he say that he is angry with him or dies he smiles bitterly as he cannot do anything?

After thinking for a while, Momonga reported truthfully: “He hasn’t come back yet… He has gone deep into the Central Basin. Even if he wants to come back, it will take him some time…”

At this point, Momonga suddenly turned mute.

Sengoku was confused and opened his mouth to ask, “Well? What’s going on? …… Momonga? Vice-Admiral Momonga!”

Just when Sengoku thought something was happening, Momonga’s trembling voice sounded in Den Den Mushi: “Fleet…Fleet Admiral! I remember Vegapunk say that the Hell Island Crab has a core right?”

“Yes! According to Vegapunk’s Device check, all of the Hell Island Crab’s organization grows out of the core, and everything outside is a shell generated to protect the core ……Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”

Sengoku answered truthfully and suddenly held his breath.

Does…… does that mean?!

“Yo, Rowen!”

“Mr. Rowen, welcome back!”

As a tall figure dressed in animal skins walked into the cave, the nearby Marine, whether they were Recruits or veterans, cast respectful eyes on him…

Everything that Rowen had experienced has spread after everyone returned, and those Powerful Beasts that bought despair to every Recruit and some Veteran were nothing more than Toys in front of Rowen.

Rowen’s terrifying combat power makes them feel unreal and amazing. In this world where the strong are respected, Rowen used his strength to win the respect he deserves.

Naturally, the Beast Tide was caused by Rowen and Momonga had strictly ordered his Adjutant and Colonel to shut their mouths and not tell anyone. After all, it is better not to mention such things that are not conducive to unity.

What else can they do?

Will Rowen apologize for causing such serious casualties, or will he be kicked out from the Marine Headquarters in the future if they tell anyone?

Do you really think that the Marines only had one traitor in the last few years, named Dragon?

There are a bunch of them every year, but they are all dealt with by the Marines in secret!

Momonga’s kindness is mature kindness, with adult thinking. It is not a ridiculous Justice view of an Elementary School Student who has to speak out no matter what the consequences are and then cry tears while looking for excuses to convince themselves of the ridiculous Justice view.

If anyone dared to mention this, Momonga would be the first to chop him up!

After drilling out of the basin, Rowen quickly understood what had happened, and the doubts he had before were also answered.

But, Rowen is not a good person himself so when he learned that Recruits who had suffered heavy casualties in Beast Tide, he decisively chose to shut up.

What?

Did you say that this is caused by me?

You …… who are you to accuse a good person like me?

Then he threw out a “Weak, Poor, and Helpless look”, and waited for the Marine executives to solve the problem. The air around him was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere ……

After all, from the surrounding people showing their respect to him, either no one knows the truth, or there are people who know the truth but they have decided to remain silent.

He doesn’t need to be too obvious!

“Hello everyone!”

“Yo, Dante how did you darken up like this?!”

“Hahahaha! The volcanic crater was quite dangerous!”

“Take your time, everyone! I’m going to report to Vice-Admiral Momonga first!”
