Holy Land Mary Geoise.
This mysterious place, symbolizing the peak of world power, is solemn and quiet.
The sun shines through the clouds, but cannot get rid of the heavy feeling in the air.
Steel Bone Kong, looking sad, slowly walks out of the house in Pangu Castle that stands for supreme power.
Each step seems heavy and hard, as if carrying a great weight. His face, usually full of power, is now as dark as the clouds before a storm.
Just now, a strong argument broke out in that house.
The Five Elders harshly scolded Steel Bone Kong without holding back. Their sharp words were like arrows, making this once powerful man feel trapped and helpless.
The reason is simple.
The Marine's secret plan to move elite troops closer to Mary Geoise has been found out!
This news was like a thunderbolt, instantly breaking the peace inside the World Government.
Even worse, this secret plan was seen by a spy from the World Government in the Marine. How could the Five Elders, with the highest power, not be angry about this strange and pointed action?
So.
They quickly called Steel Bone Kong and ordered him to go to Marine Headquarters right away to find out what was wrong with the Marine's troop movement.
Even though Steel Bone Kong didn't want to, he had to agree and leave.
Right now.
Steel Bone Kong's anger towards Sengoku and others has reached its highest point.
Back when he was the Marine Fleet Admiral, he faced pressure and blame from many sides, but since he stepped down as Fleet Admiral and became the Supreme Commander of the World Government Armed Forces, he had never been treated so badly.
But now.
After many years,
He is again being scolded to his face, and by the respected Five Elders.
Steel Bone Kong knows very well.
The bad treatment he got in the power room was all because of Akainu, Sengoku, and others in the Marine.
Their actions caused him to lose face with the Five Elders.
Thinking of this,
Steel Bone Kong clenches his fist tightly,
Secretly promising to find out the truth, find the cause of the Marine's strange actions, and yell at Sengoku and other Marine leaders to get back his lost respect and power.
~~~~~~
The atmosphere inside Marine Headquarters is heavy and serious.
Knowing that Supreme Commander Steel Bone Kong is coming to Marine Headquarters, Akainu, Sengoku, and other high-ranking officers are gathered in the large meeting room.
Everyone sits together, looking serious, and has a short but tense discussion.
"Have you found out who that person is?" Sengoku asks in a deep voice, his arms crossed, his brow deeply wrinkled, and his eyes staring at Vice Admiral Tsuru.
At this moment,
The entire meeting room is silent,
All eyes are on Vice Admiral Tsuru as she stands up.
Vice Admiral Tsuru nods slightly in reply, then a serious look appears on her wrinkled old face.
She slowly says:
"After a thorough investigation, we have found out the truth. The reason this action was discovered is because of Vice Admiral John Gianto. He has been in a central position in the Marine for a long time and knows a lot about Marine affairs."
Speaking of this, Vice Admiral Tsuru pauses for a moment, as if remembering her past work with John Gianto.
When Vice Admiral Tsuru says the name John Gianto, everyone in the room is shocked, especially Akainu, who can hardly believe it, because John Gianto has been a supporter of his since he was a Marine Admiral!
Now,
John Gianto has been found to be a member of the World Government, which makes Akainu, who cares a lot about face, feel very ashamed! He wants to rush out and give John Gianto a Meigo right now!
Then, Vice Admiral Tsuru continues:
"Over the years, his work in Marine Headquarters has been very good, and he has always strongly carried out the Marine's sense of justice from the start."
"However, I never thought that this respected John Gianto is actually a nail secretly placed in the Marine by the World Government!"
"It seems that there are countless spies from the World Government in the Marine now..."
As Vice Admiral Tsuru finishes speaking, the meeting room becomes silent again. Everyone feels as if a heavy stone is pressing on their hearts, and they are worried about the complex situation the Marine is facing.
There are only about ten days left before taking action against the Celestial Dragons.
But at this important moment,
The World Government is starting to doubt the Marine!
This sudden change casts a thick shadow over the upcoming action, making it full of uncertainty and risk.
There is no doubt about the strength of Imu, the Five Elders, and the Knights of God.
If the Celestial Dragons are prepared, the success of their action may be greatly lowered.
Fujitora, sitting at the table, picks up a cup of hot tea, takes a sip, and feels the warm liquid running down his throat into his stomach.
Then, he puts down the cup, his pale eyes slowly turn to Vice Admiral Tsuru across from him, and asks, "Has that John Gianto been successfully controlled?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru gently shakes her head and replies with a serious expression:
"Not yet.
If we rush to control John Gianto at this time, it would be like directly telling the World Government that we Marine are doing something wrong.
So, it is better to leave him where he is for now, maybe we can use him to find the spies from the World Government hidden inside us."
Hearing this, Fujitora nods slightly in agreement.
Then, Vice Admiral Tsuru continues:
"After a thorough investigation, we have found that there are two Marine Rear Admirals with close ties to John Gianto, and seven other Marine officers are also involved.
But please rest assured, these people are all under our full and careful watch.
As soon as they make any move, we will notice it right away and take action."
After Vice Admiral Tsuru finishes speaking, everyone at the meeting table nods. Just then, there is a knock on the meeting room door. It can only be Brannew at this time.
"Enter!" Akainu says in a deep voice.
Given permission, Brannew opens the door, walks in, salutes, and says directly: "Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, everyone, Supreme Commander Steel Bone Kong's warship is ready to dock!"
As Brannew finishes speaking, a serious feeling fills the entire meeting room.
