Chapter 39: The Burden Of The 'Full-Time' Admiral

Coming out of Marshal Kong's office, Zephyr said, "It has to be you, Sengoku."

"Ahahahaha, yes, it has to be you, our good comrade." Garp laughed loudly.

Sengoku rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and then said: "If you two can help me share some heavy responsibilities, I won't be so stressed all the time..."

But before Sengoku finished speaking, Zephyr said with a very proud look: "I won't compete with you for the position of future marshal, what else do you want?"

In fact, in terms of competition, Zephyr's competitiveness is still very strong. Perhaps in terms of strength alone, he may not be stronger than Sengoku, but he did become Admiral earlier than Sengoku, so his qualifications are a little higher than Sengoku.

And judging from the fact that he was able to be promoted to Admiral earlier, it can be said that his talent is definitely not much weaker than Sengoku.

If it hadn't been for his family being ruined back then and his heart getting cold, it might be really uncertain who would be the next Marshal of the Marine in the future.

Sengoku immediately shut up after what Zephyr said, and Garp went too far, saying bluntly: "When you come back from work, I will invite you to have a drink with Tsuru, just the three of us. During the period, I will pretend to have something to do and leave early. Wouldn't that be interesting?"

Sengoku's old face blushed and said, "You bastard, what are you talking about?"

Garp froze for a moment, is this going too far?

"Then let it be..." Garp also felt that his pimping behavior was a bit outrageous, and he was about to change his words immediately.

But before he finished speaking, Sengoku patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, this time it's because of the friendship we have developed as comrades in arms over the years, I will go... *Cough*... when the time comes to drink, you should leave early, don't forget."

Garp: ? ? ? ?

I was feeling embarrassed for no reason, this old bastard really can't be cured!

After talking some more nonsense, they walked out of the fortress of justice in Marineford, and then Garp said: "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first, there is still something to do with Kuzan."

"I'm going to go back and arrange the school's affairs. This is the first year that our officer training camp has been transformed into the Marine Academy. There are a lot of things to do." Zephyr also said quickly.

That's right, this year is the beginning of Sea Circle Calendar 1499, in another year, a new century is coming, and in this year, Zephyr finally got permission from the five elders, and converted the officer training camp to become a full fledged Marine Academy.

Currently Zephyr is also the principal of this school, determined to cultivate more mainstays for Marine, the teacher of justice!

Of course, Sengoku also wanted to take action, and immediately said: "Then disband, I will also go to the intelligence department to find out what kind of team this MADS is, and where it is now. I hope it is not some remote sea area, then I can get it done as soon as possible."

Soon, the three of them disbanded and left in different directions.

It didn't take long for Sengoku to come to Marine's intelligence department.

To be honest, he came here a lot, not just because he is the only 'full-time' Admiral, so many things have to be handled by him personally, but mainly because Chief Staff Officer Tsuru and his son Rosinante both serve in the Intelligence Department .

So Sengoku Admiral likes to come here when he has nothing to do.

As soon as I walked into the gate of the intelligence department, a beautiful woman came out of it, and said hello to Sengoku: "Mr. Sengoku~"

"Oh, Gion, are you off work?" Sengoku also responded with a smile.

"Yeah, do you want to have a drink together!?" Gion said while making a 'cheers' gesture.

"No, no, I can't drink as much as you guys, and I have other business to do, is Tsuru there?" Sengoku asked.

"Miss Tsuru is inside, so I won't bother you." Gion waved her hand grandly, and left quickly.

Sengoku entered the small building of the intelligence department, and soon came to the office of Chief Staff Officer Tsuru, then knocked on the door, and there was a reply from inside.

Then, Sengoku pushed the door and entered, and saw that Tsuru was talking to his adopted son Rosinante.

"Sengoku, are you here?" Tsuru glanced at Sengoku, and then said: "It seems that the higher-ups have entrusted you with that matter? The one about MADS."

"You already know?" Sengoku Admiral was a little surprised, but then he said clearly: "That's right, after all, it's the intelligence department... you are always the first to know any first-hand information."

"Admiral." Rosinante also greeted Sengoku with a smile.

"When there are no outsiders, I will be very happy if you call me dad, Rosinante." Sengoku rubbed Rosinante's head gently, and said with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sengoku said, "I won't say anything superfluous. How is the collection of information about MADS going?"

"From the very beginning, people from the CP have cooperated. It seems that the higher-ups attach great importance to this matter, so the CP agency has also sent some relevant information. Coupled with our own sources, it has basically been solved. Probably in the second half of last year, that is, in the middle of 1498, the MADS team's investment was withdrawn by Du Feld because it failed to obtain the scientific research results that the investor wanted for a long time. Du Feld is part of the dark side of the New World. In his field, he has quite a lot of influence, and when he became angry, he forced MADS to leave the New World..." Tsuru said immediately.

"It's good if they have left the New World. The New World is a chaotic place full of crazy people, and it's troublesome to carry out tasks. It's always easy to get out of hand. So where are they now?" Sengoku said relaxedly.

"Now, one of the core members of the MADS team is Vinsmoke Judge, who is the king of the North Blue Germa Kingdom, so after the research team was kicked out of the New World, they went to North Blue together." Chief Staff Officer Tsuru said again.

"North Blue?" Sengoku glanced at his adopted son Rosinante.

At this time, Rosinante said a little helplessly: "At that time, the MADS team was in a dilemma, that is, the research and development funds were not enough, so Judge began to look for investors in North Blue. The latest information is... the North Blue's largest smuggling family, the Donquixote Family, promised to invest up to 20 billion Beli in MADS. According to our monitoring information on the Germa Kingdom, as early as more than a month ago, a warship from the Germa Kingdom's War House, has already moved towards the base camp of the Donquixote Family... Cervantes, in other words, the current MADS research team is very likely to be on Cervantes Island."

When Rosinante talked about Donquixote Family, he didn't put any personal emotions into it at all, and the context of information was very clear.

"Donquixote Family...?" Sengoku sighed slightly.

This is the evil family founded by Rosinante's own brother. Thinking about it, he feels a little disturbed.

But the old saying comes into play, the world is not black and white, and Marine also uses the dark world for many of its activities, so their hostility to the Donquixote Family is not very great. Plus, to people of the level of Sengoku and the others here, just a little Donquixote Family is simply an appetizer.

Therefore, Sengoku didn't pay much attention to this Donquixote Family. After looking at Rosinante, Sengoku said again: "Speaking of which, I haven't met that Doflamingo yet. This time I will go to see what kind of man he is."

Since the MADS research team is currently in Cervantes Island, Sengoku can't wait too long, and just ask for someone to give him a ship directly.

There are only two goals, the first one, according to the order from above, everything else can be discussed, only Dr. Vegapunk must be brought back.

The second is that the MADS research team must be disbanded!

Thinking about this task, it's actually not very difficult, it's just that the process is a bit cumbersome.

In this way, soon, the flagship of Naval Headquarters Admiral Sengoku left Marineford and headed towards the Holy Land Mariejois, crossed the Red Line, and arrived at North Blue. Given the performance of the warship, it would not take too long before it reached Cervantes.
