Chapter 194 You're really bold, kid!
Do the interests of the Navy and the World Government align?
Indeed, with the involvement of pirates, the World Government wanted to maintain its rule, while the Navy wanted to maintain world order and justice, so for a long time, the two sides had a cooperative relationship.
The world government does not actually manage the navy very strictly.
So although the Navy is indeed an organization that originated from the World Government, on the surface the two are unrelated in many ways.
However, it cannot be denied that the World Government's direct subordinate organizations constituted the key to the Navy's intelligence system.
Because of the long-term existence of the CP organization, the Navy's intelligence system is not perfect, and it relies more on surveillance ships to transmit information about pirates.
This is a big problem.
While in the Kingdom of Turtle, she and Montdor put a lot of effort into establishing the Turtleland intelligence system, and the Queen Mother was very satisfied with the results.
……
"Did I hear that right? You said you want to set up a department and then you'll manage it?" Sengoku looked carefully at Kuzan, who was still yawning, to make sure he hadn't been switched, and then looked at the sun outside the window to make sure it wasn't rising in the west.
Having ambition is a good thing, but it always feels a bit strange when someone suddenly becomes too ambitious.
Seeing the incredulous expression on Sengoku's face, Kuzan also felt a little regretful; was it all too sudden?
However, when it comes to persuading others, Roman is exceptionally eloquent. As soon as she sees you waver even slightly, she will seize your weakness and entangle you without your consent.
So Kuzan was eventually persuaded by Roman.
Well, that's how it is.
“Kuzan, it’s not that I’m underestimating you, but setting up a new department isn’t an easy thing. It requires a detailed plan, and you might even have to ask the Five Elders for approval. If the plan you give me is full of loopholes, you won’t even get past me, let alone the higher-ups.”
"Then... just pretend I didn't say anything?" Kuzan scratched his head, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
Several crosses immediately appeared above Sengoku's head: "Kuzan, it's one thing that you don't care about military affairs, but do you want to play me for fools every day like Garp?"
Garp, who had just been sound asleep, seemed to have triggered some key word and instantly woke up: "What?! You're saying Kuzan looks like me? Sengoku? You don't have to flatter him like that!!!"
"Oh dear, compared to Mr. Garp, I'm still far from being good enough!"
"That's right, that's right, hahaha."
Watching the master and apprentice working together, Sengoku felt his blood pressure was about to explode. Just as he was about to throw them both out, he suddenly noticed that Kuzan seemed to actually have a plan in his hand.
……
Getting the Warring States to agree is both simple and difficult.
Although Sengoku was loyal to the World Government, or rather, to the order created by the World Government, this does not mean that he had no opinions about the World Government.
Without experiencing darkness, how could Sengoku have risen to the position of general?
As a person in a position of power, he certainly cannot be as pure and innocent as the sheep he raises; only a person with a broad mind who can accommodate both purity and impurity can stand in this position.
Ultimately, however, one's stance is determined by one's position. While he was loyal to the World Government, Sengoku's true allegiance was to the Navy. If something was beneficial to the Navy's development, Sengoku had no reason to refuse.
……
"You actually wrote this?" After reading the Warring States period for a while, the frog's glasses nearly shattered from shock.
This plan is well-written and highly beneficial to the Navy, but...
……
But the Warring States period must have felt that too many things were involved.
What is the core of an intelligence system?
are people.
No matter how perfect a system is, it still requires human participation or handover.
This means that every industry needs people.
This is where the role of an undercover agent comes into play.
However, this also means that if the Navy wants to complete this plan, it will need to release many people who are loyal to the Navy.
Or rather, it's not just loyalty, but a more tangible connection.
This connection can minimize the possibility of betrayal.
……
“If we’re talking about candidates, the second generation would be better.” Kuzan recalled Roman’s words and repeated them verbatim.
This kid really dares to bring that up!
Sengoku couldn't help but gasp. He had originally thought that Sakazuki was the most decisive of the three, but it turned out to be Kuzan.
He really dared to think and say that he wanted the children of military personnel to join the army.
It's no exaggeration to say that the children of military personnel are precious treasures.
Marineford is full of single people. Forget about having children, having a wife or husband is considered a great achievement.
Now, Kuzan has surprisingly made an outrageous demand, attempting to trap this entire group.
Although he felt like a million alpacas were galloping through his mind, Sengoku still managed to suppress his anger.
"Even if I agree, will the higher-ups agree?"
The Five Elders might not actually agree to such an unauthorized establishment.
After recalling Roman's words again, Kuzan continued, "There's no need to report the truth. Just say it's a place to increase their gold resumes, adding some benefits for the pure-blooded descendants of the Navy."
You've got a lot on your mind, kid.
Sengoku was surprised again. Yes, if he said that, the Five Elders would most likely agree. In that case, the intelligence department would become a place that could be called a child's play.
How can you ensure that those second-generation rich kids will choose you?
“I can use my title as Mr. Garp’s first disciple, or even bring Mr. Garp into it, since he’s very free anyway.”
"What?" Garp, standing to the side, was surprised, as if he had been arranged all along.
What aspects need to be involved?
"Newspapers, pirates, trading companies, the underground..."
"Organization name?"
"sword".
"Syl Roman's idea?"
"Yes...no...yes."
Seeing Sengoku's "I knew it" expression, Kuzan couldn't help but surrender.
"I was wondering why you suddenly had a breakthrough; it turns out someone was giving you pointers."
"Hahaha, I was wondering the same thing. Turns out you have someone backing you up. Kuzan, looks like you have some good subordinates." Garp burst into laughter.
"If you need me, I will definitely support you." Garp laughed again.
Speaking of which, Kuzan has become a little more motivated lately.
Although it wasn't very obvious, Sengoku was much more observant than the eccentric Garp and keenly noticed a subtle change in Kuzan.
But it's a good thing, I guess.
“Ah, now that it’s been exposed, Roman says that Borsalino needs to get involved in this as well.”
Meanwhile, Borsalino, who was drinking tea in his office, only felt a chill.
Hmm, a bad feeling.
