Chapter 146: Merits and Demerits Offset

Before dawn, the soldiers of the Navy Headquarters began to train.

The autumn wind was a bit cold, and the soldiers all put on their coats. After training, they swept the dead branches and leaves on the playground.

When Bruch walked past these soldiers, the soldiers would turn around and stand at attention to salute.

After arriving at the cafeteria and eating early, Bruch went to Zhan Guo's office.

I don't know why this old guy called me so early in the morning. Did he catch a cold last night?

When I came to Zhan Guo's office and knocked on the door, I saw Zhan Guo put down the Den Den Mushi with a serious face.

Seeing Bruch's arrival, Zhan Guo's solemn brows relaxed a little.

"You came at the right time. The Five Elders just issued an order..."

With a jump in his heart, Bruch had a bad premonition. Wouldn't they take down his rank?

He asked nervously, "What did they say?"

This rank of brigadier general was earned by him with real swords and guns. If it was taken down like this...

Find an opportunity to kill those five old guys.

"Bruch, the attitude of the higher-ups was to dismiss you from your post and investigate you..."

Bruch's heart sank at Zhan Guo's words. It was over. It was as expected.

It seems that I really need to find a chance to kill those five old guys. Hmm...

I need to know the addresses of those five old guys first and kill them directly with the black shadow.

"But..."

Hmm? Is there any chance of a turnaround?

Bruch hurriedly asked: "But what?"

"It's like this. Although Doflamingo is a pirate, he was also a member of the Celestial Dragons. I believe you already know this."

"I know." Bruch said.

"The Celestial Dragons value their bloodline very much. Even the abandoned bloodline cannot be killed by anyone. The Five Elders were very angry when you killed Doflamingo this time."

"But the Sucrose you brought back is a bomb. The Five Elders changed their tone after knowing Sucrose's ability."

Zhan Guo paused, drank a sip of water, and continued:

"Combined with the report you submitted, the Five Elders discussed for a long time and finally decided to temporarily retain your military rank and see how you perform in the future."

"And this time, your rescue of Dressrosa will not be counted as an achievement."

Hearing this, Bruch breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that his position has been saved, but the Dressrosa incident is not considered an achievement. It seems that he still lost.

"Then I was almost blown to death!!!"

Bruch suddenly thought of the seastone bomb, and his heart was furious.

Zhan Guo heard this and looked helpless.

"Your rank will not be revoked just because of the seastone bomb. That kind of thing... heh, there is no such thing on the black market."

Zhan Guo sneered. He has been a marshal for so many years, and he has long known all the tricks of the people above.

Such a powerful thing is not something that a sea gangster can get.

No one except the World Government can master the manufacture of seastone in the bomb.

Zhan Guo's words made Bruch understand that he, a substitute for the admiral, was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the people above.

No wonder no substitute for the admiral took the position of admiral after the promotion. The gap between them is not just a matter of strength, but involves many things.

It is precisely because of this that there is free labor like Fujitora.

After all, this guy is an airborne personnel, has no foundation in the navy, and can't make much waves.

Politics is really a bad thing.

Bruch probably knew the whole story.

The use of the seastone bomb may not be unknown to the people above.

But they still gave it to that sea scoundrel, which showed that they didn't care about Bruch's life or death at all.

"Heh, it won't take too long. When I attack Mary Geoise, I will personally slaughter you guys."

It has to be said that Bruch was really angry this time.

Zhan Guo didn't know what Bruch was thinking, otherwise he would be shocked.

He patted Bruch's shoulder, sighed slightly, and said, "Be patient. Only when you sit in the position of admiral can you talk to them, but... it's just a conversation."

Nodding, Bruch didn't say anything.

After he told Zhan Guo about his idea of ​​returning to Shampoo, Zhan Guo agreed after thinking for a moment.

"Well, there are no important tasks recently. After you return to Shampoo, take a good rest. If there is anything, I will contact you through Den Den Mushi."

"Okay, Marshal Zhan Guo, I'll go back first!"

"Well..."

——

After leaving Zhan Guo's office, Bruch returned to Shampoo without stopping.

When Saro and Kiora saw Bruch, they were both surprised.

Although the time was short, the demise of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the demise of the entire Don Quixote family had been published in the newspaper by the albatross and sent to all parts of the world.

In Shampoodi, where the New World and the Grand Line meet, the news was basically received first.

When they first received the news, they were a little bit unbelievable, but then they thought about their boss's temper...

It's really possible.

That crazy personality of not caring who you are, just killing first and then talking about it, can't be expressed in words.

"Has anything big happened in Shabaodi recently?" Bruch thought about it. It has been half a month since he left Shabaodi.

Saro and Kiora looked at each other and said, "Some small pirates have landed on the island recently, but we killed many of them on the spot. A new pirate group escaped."

Another pirate landed?

Bruch asked, "Which pirate group escaped?"

Kiora frowned, thought for a while and said, "It seems to be called the White Horse Pirates, and the captain is called something Xu..."

White Horse Pirates? What Xu?

Sounds familiar...

Bruch frowned and said, "Cavendish?"

"Yes, that's right, it's Cavendish. Does the vice admiral know him?"

"No." Bruch said.

After taking a look at the work of the two, Bruch said lightly, "Let's update the building facilities of the Shabaodi Archipelago first. I don't want the pirates to disturb the lives of civilians after they come."

"Yes!"

Bruch returned to his office, sat on the chair, and his eyes gradually deepened.

"Cavendish, has the gear of fate started turning? Luffy, that guy, will soon..."

Turn the chair and look out the window.

After the Dressrosa incident and the conversation with Sengoku, Bruch is no longer in the mood to look for the blue pufferfish.

After all, that guy has nothing to do, and looking for him is just a waste of time...
