Pirates on Top of the War: I Will Stand In the Sky

   Chapter 97 Lieutenant General Crane to the North Sea

   North Sea Navy's big move, even the general-level officers of the Navy Headquarters began to pay attention.

   This matter was mentioned in a routine meeting of the Navy's high-level officials.

   "It's a bit of an adventure, little guy Ion."

Admiral   Crane looked at the report from the Beihai Navy and said.

"Among the four seas, stability is still the main thing at present. Stability is the most important thing. Although Captain Yan's joint crusade does not have any major loopholes, if it is too radical, it will easily cause the pirates to attack. bounce back."

   Contrary to the expectations of everyone present, Sakaski, who had a great conflict with Ion in the past and has now been promoted to general, spoke in a supportive tone at this moment.

   "Justice is not afraid of rebound. I think Captain Ion's battle plan is too conservative. The ultimate goal should be to clean up the entire North Sea pirates, not just suppress the capable ones among the captive pirates."

"Admiral Sakasky, it is unrealistic to do this with the military strength of the North Sea Navy, and once the pirates rebound, maybe they will vent by massacres of civilians, or form a temporary marine The thief fleet is coming to attack the navy." Admiral Crane said calmly.

   "Wouldn't it be more ridiculous if the navy did nothing for fear of such revenge from pirates? Justice is not afraid of any threat." Sakaski retorted.

   "Well, there's no point in arguing about this."

  The Warring States Marshal knocked on the table, interrupting this question, which was essentially a battle of ideas, and said.

"Now that Captain Ion is the inspector of the North Sea, he naturally has his own judgment. Perhaps this way of joint bases and bases to conduct regular crusade operations is more in line with the environment of the four seas. Chase decides."

   Immediately, the Warring States Marshal opened his mouth and threw the next issue.

   Soon, this routine naval meeting ended successfully. As the rest of the naval executives left the conference room, only two people, Marshal Sengoku and Lieutenant General Crane, remained in the entire conference room.

   "Sengoku, the plan of joint crusade was not the one who directed Captain Ion from behind, right?" Lieutenant General Crane asked suddenly.

   "Huh? Why do you say that?" The Warring States Marshal asked in surprise.

"Captain Yan stayed in Beihai for more than six years, and basically did nothing. Suddenly such a big plan came. It's not because you planned to promote Captain Yan, so you made this arrangement on purpose?" Lieutenant General He replied. .

   "Hahaha, Xiaohe, this is a mistake."

  The Warring States Marshal said with a big smile.

   "That kid Yan has an unparalleled talent for grand strategy formulation. I didn't even know about this so-called joint crusade."

   "Really? But I see that you seem to be paying more attention to Beihai's affairs recently, frequently confirming the information of Beihai." Lieutenant General Crane said.

  The Warring States Marshal's expression was a little stiff, and he asked with a little embarrassment. "Is it that obvious?"

   Immediately, the Warring States Marshal did not hide it, he flipped through the documents in his hand and found one of them and handed it to Lieutenant General Crane.

   "I'm worried about this."

"Um?"

Lieutenant General   Crane took the document and flipped through it. The originally kind eyes were a little more dignified, and he muttered.

   "The Don Quixote family? The virtual circle organization?"

   Soon, Lieutenant General Crane browsed through the contents of the document, which was actually the information about the conflict between the virtual circle organization and the Don Quixote family that Corazon first reported to the Marshal of the Warring States Period.

   "When did a virtual circle organization appear, and it was so powerful that it could easily coerce the Don Quixote family?" Admiral Crane said with some doubts.

It stands to reason that with the intelligence sources of the world government and the navy, the world government and the navy will know a thing or two about the powerful men in the sea. .

   However, the so-called virtual circle organization, as well as the ability to control humans and attack in a large area beyond the visual range reported by Corazon, Lieutenant General Crane has never heard any similar information.

  This is... unusually suspicious.

   "Could it be... the world government, or an organization established privately by the world nobles?" Admiral Crane asked speculatively.

   "No, I have confirmed with the Five Old Stars, and the World Government has not heard of any virtual circle organization, and even if it is an organization established privately by the Tianlong people, the Five Old Stars cannot be ignorant." The Warring States Marshal replied.

   "If you say that..."

Lieutenant General   Crane suddenly realized something and said. "So, Captain Yan suddenly carried out a large-scale combat operation in the North Sea range, and it also means to secretly find the virtual circle organization?"

  The Warring States Marshal nodded and said.

   "Ion didn't tell me that, but according to my guess it should be right."

"That's right, after all, no matter how mysterious the virtual circle organization is, there will still be some clues left. Captain Ion's combat operation this time is obviously aimed at pirates with devil fruit abilities in the North Sea. This is a way to force the virtual circle organization to reveal its traces."

   After a pause, Lieutenant General Crane said with a little emotion.

   "Warring States, your adopted son usually looks like a mess, but you have encountered some things that need to be dealt with. You are quite reliable and considerate of you."

   The Warring States Marshal showed some disdain on his face, and said in a slightly unnatural tone.

   "Where is there any reliability? This reckless behavior of catching fish with a big net is not afraid of provoking a counterattack from the virtual circle organization."

   At this moment, General Crane could see that the Warring States Marshal was actually worried about the situation in the North Sea.

The   Illusory Circle Organization and the Don Quixote Family, a powerful organization that should have lived on the great route, were clustered together in places like the North Sea, where the average combat power was weak.

  Especially Ion's physique is notoriously weak, except for "Sakura Fruit", there is basically no strong combat power.

   In this way, those strong men who exist in the North Sea are undoubtedly equivalent to a blade that can hurt Ion at any time.

   It is no wonder that the Warring States period was a little worried about the situation in the North Sea.

Lieutenant General   Crane thought for a while, then said.

   "Warring States, Brother Doflamingo has been entrenched in the Beihai for a long time. This is a hidden danger after all. Why don't you let me go to the Beihai and drive the Don Quixote family away from the Beihai?"

   "Huh? Now?"

  The Warring States Marshal said subconsciously, but he reacted immediately.

   Mingming Lieutenant General Crane is going to expel the Don Quixote family from the North Sea. In fact, going to the North Sea at this point is tantamount to escorting Ion.

  Although Admiral Crane is not famous for his ingenuity, the strength of Admiral Crane is absolutely not to be underestimated. The ordinary Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters is afraid that Admiral Crane will not be able to hold together.

   "If that's the case, then I'll trouble you." The Warring States Marshal said gratefully.

   "No, just remember to help me with the official business."

  Suddenly, the expression of the Warring States Marshal stiffened.
