After finishing the phone call with Xiong and telling Xiong what Zefa reminded him, all the plans were almost laid out. All that was left was to wait for Luffy and others to slowly kick off the drama.

Now that work matters are almost settled, the next thing to consider is life matters.

While waiting for Luffy and others to go to Shampoo Land, Seti first followed Zephyr to Garp's residence to comfort Garp.

It can be said that Garp had already anticipated that Ace and Luffy might be arrested, so after the initial shock of hearing the news gradually faded, Garp also adjusted his mentality.

He has made his choice, and that choice is to join the battle but paddle.

After seeing Garp laughing and saying that he would participate in this war while eating donuts, Zefa left quietly with Seti.

Watching his grandson being executed on the execution platform is already the limit of what he can do as a naval hero. It would be too much to force him to let his grandson go from a narrow escape to a ten-death escape.

It's so inhumane.

After visiting Garp, Zefa went back to lead his latest elite camp.

Because of Sett, Zefa is still shouldering the position of chief instructor of the elite battalion at this time, but at this time he is already semi-retired.

Apart from the most basic camp inspection and answering students' questions, the rest of the teaching work was basically left to Ain and Binz.

In fact, if someone observes carefully, they can find that there have been many changes in the assessment content of the elite camp and the personalities of the graduating students in the past two years.

It's just that because of the high quality of Zefa's students, not many people are aware that the navy's new blood is changing unknowingly.

After sending Zefa back to the elite camp to rest, Seti thought about it and rushed to the female barracks alone.

Unlike the leading soldier of the elite battalion a few years ago, Seti, now a candidate for general, no longer needs any notification if he wants to meet Lieutenant General He in the female barracks.

Amidst the whispers of the female soldiers, Seti opened the door and walked into Lieutenant General He's office.

"Who asked you to come in? Get out!"

As soon as he opened the door, a tall, pink-haired female naval officer gave Seti a blow.

"Lieutenant General Gion, we are already old acquaintances, there is no need for this."

Seti looked at Peach Rabbit pitifully and said.

After all, she is a mature woman in her forties. Taotu did not pretend not to know Seti like Iska did. After giving him a cold glance, Taotu nodded and said:

"Yes, in that case, let's make it clear. What happened between you and baby-5?"

Having said this, Lieutenant General He, who had been sipping tea beside him, slowly raised his head and stared straight at Seti with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.

Although they were a little surprised that Momo and Usagi didn't know about Reijiu's existence, the matter was at this point, and the matter with Reijiu could not remain undisclosed.

So Seti gritted his teeth and directly told the two about Reiju. However, this time Seti did not mention anything about the Navoli Chamber of Commerce. He only said that Reiju was his crusade against the Kingdom of Germa.

Princess Germa whom I met when I was young.

We are all women, so we still have some empathy. This is after hearing the story of Reiju who clearly did not agree with her father's actions, but due to the influence of blood factors, she had to obey Gaji's instructions and participate in the war.

Lieutenant General He and Taotu couldn't help but sympathize with this girl they had never met before.

"So, because you destroyed the Kingdom of Germa and rescued her from that horrible environment, the princess named Reiju fell in love with you?"

Peach Rabbit asked Seti curiously.

If you think about it for a moment, without knowing that Seti had a girlfriend, she would have been moved to be rescued from the sea by a young, promising, handsome and powerful navy like Seti.

"That's probably the case..."

Seti spoke vaguely.

Hearing what he said, Lieutenant General He and Taotu looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

They previously thought that there was some conflict between Seti and Baby-5. If that was the case, they might mediate and they might get back together.

But it's hard for them to say anything about this emotional issue between the three of them.

Although Sett's story is rather vague, just looking at Sett's expression when he mentions Reiju and Baby-5, one can tell that Sett has true feelings for either of them.

Polygamy is not a heinous crime in a feudal world like the pirate world, so on this matter, Peach Rabbit and Lieutenant General Crane really couldn't come up with any good ideas.

"So, what's going on with you and baby-5 now? Do you know where she is now?"

After a long silence, General He suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

To this, Seti naturally responded fluently:

"That day after baby-5 found out about Reiju, she had a phone call with Reijiu, but I didn't know the content of the call. After that call, baby-5 had a long-lasting temper with me.

It wasn't until the day before I returned from the Capital of Seven Waters that we had a little more conversations.

She is currently meeting Reiju with Valor, Iska and others in the Kingdom of Germa, but actually I don’t know what happened after they met?”

Women always need to understand women better. As baby-5's "sisters", He and Taotu actually understand baby-5's character quite well.

After hearing that baby-5 took the initiative to meet Reiju, the two became acutely aware that baby-5 and Reiju might have reached some kind of consensus without telling Sett.

From this perspective, maybe things are not that bad after all?

"We already have a general understanding of what happened. Now it's useless to call you a bastard. Now that the matter has come to this, I hope you can promise us that you will not let down these two girls from now on."

After some eye contact, Lieutenant General He finally said these words in a serious tone.

Although Lieutenant General Crane's tone was extremely serious, Seti couldn't help but smile. Lieutenant General Crane and Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit said this, which means that he has passed this level with them.

.

It’s hard to say whether we will get any help from the two of them, but at least we don’t have to worry about these two getting in the way and making it more difficult to solve the problem!

…………

Ever since I came out of Lieutenant General He's office, time seemed to have been pressed on the fast forward button, and half a month passed in an instant.

During this period of time, both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy have made arrangements much faster.

The revolutionary army led by Dorag also arrived in the South China Sea quietly under the cover of this undercurrent.

The remoteness of the South China Sea, coupled with the fact that the world government's attention is now focused on the New World, has made the progress of the revolution in the Sobel Kingdom extremely smooth.

According to the intelligence coming from Dorag, the evacuation progress of the citizens of the Kingdom of Sobel is very gratifying, and if nothing else goes wrong, the evacuation should be completed before the war begins.

It is worth mentioning that Seti successfully contacted Reiju once on the topic of sheltering citizens of the Kingdom of Sobel.

Although Reiju had been nonchalant during the call, she did not refuse any of the requests Sett mentioned.

When Se asked about the topic of Baby-5, Reijiu did not shy away from talking about it. She directly and openly stated that the three girls have been staying on the sky island during this period, so they can rest assured about their safety.

These answers reassured Seti a lot, and it was almost certain that a bad ending like the two women fighting each other and Seti losing everything would not happen.

In this case, the emotional issues can be put to an end for the time being, and the remaining issues can be discussed after the war is over.

…………

"There is only a little more than a week left before the execution of 'Fire Fist' Ace. The war is already around the corner. I hope you will not take it lightly."

In the high-level combat conference room, the officers of the Navy Headquarters, rear admiral and above, were all sitting upright, looking at Sengoku directly above the podium with serious faces as he described the next arrangements.

Although such meetings have been held no less than five times in the past half month, thinking about the direction of this war may very well determine whether the navy can march into the new world in one go, and even end the era of great pirates in one go.

, no one in the room dared to slack off.

"In the next week, there will be very few high-level meetings like this, so it is no surprise that this meeting will be the last meeting before the war begins.

There are not many arrangements for this meeting. The main thing is to send six lieutenant generals to the territories where the Shichibukai are located to send invitations, inviting them to Malinfando to participate in the meeting, and ensuring that they will appear in this globally broadcast execution.

.

For this invitation, our navy will adopt a zero-tolerance attitude. That is to say, if any Shichibukai dare to object to the execution like 'Kai Xia' Jinbei did or want to be absent, we will let him go directly to Impel Down to calm down.

Calm down, or...

Directly cancel their quota in the Shichibukai!"

As soon as these words came out, the lieutenant generals below were all shocked. Such a strong invitation seemed to be the first time since the establishment of the Shichibukai system. Such a decision would be made. It can be seen that the Marshal of the Warring States Period was very concerned about this invitation.

Execution is really inevitable!

"Then, the Lieutenant General whose name is mentioned next, please leave after the meeting and prepare to send invitations to the bases of the Shichibukai.

The first is Don Quixote Doflamingo, who is in the Kingdom of Dressrosa in the new world. Because of his special position, his invitation letter will include the base director of the G5 branch.

Vergo sent.

Then there is the invitation letter from ‘Blackbeard’ Marshall D. Teach, Dalmatian. It is up to you to deliver his invitation letter.

…

Finally, it’s the invitation letter from ‘Pirate Empress’ Boya Hancock. Flying Squirrel, you will be responsible for Hancock’s invitation letter.”

After assigning the candidates to send invitations to the Shichibukai, Sengoku was about to mention some final notes. At this moment, Branyu, who had been standing guard at the door with an afro, suddenly received some news.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, the expression of the "King of Meetings" changed, and he quickly stepped forward while the Warring States Period was finishing an issue, and whispered a few words in the Warring States Period's ear.

After hearing Brannu's whisper, even Sengoku's expression couldn't help but change, and the precautions that were on his lips also changed to:

"This meeting ends here. Everyone below the rank of general candidate can go back and rest."

After everyone else had taken a stand, only Sengoku, Crane, Zefa, Akainu, Kizaru, Aoki, Peach Rabbit, Tea Dolphin and Seti were left in the conference room (Garp is currently in the room because of Ace's incident)

Not attending the meeting), Warring States sat back in his chair a little irritably and said to the remaining people:
To be continued...
