Chapter 128 A Gift for Myself
As Kevin's instructor during his youth training camp, Zefa frowned and thought for a while.
Then, while the Den Den Mushi was still on, he stood up and walked over.
"Kevin."
"Teacher Zefa, is there anything else?"
"The mission the navy has entrusted to you this time concerns the lives of everyone in Wano Country. Good or evil, powerful or civilian."
Zefa's voice was very cautious: "I don't know if Nomi has told you about his past, but when you were a child in the West Sea, you must have had a time when you couldn't resist."
"If you can enter Wano Country as an investigator, the life and death of everyone in this country will depend on your decision. I believe you will make the right choice."
After the words were spoken, Kevin, who was sitting on the other side of the Den Den Mushi, was silent for a while.
In the base director's office of the G5 branch, Kevin's eyes were equally solemn under his sunglasses.
Based on his understanding of the World Government and the Navy, the conversation just now has already proved that the World Government has set its sights on Wano Country.
They even did not hesitate to use weapons that could destroy the island.
You know, after Vegapunk disappeared, the so-called spark energy naturally disappeared.
In this situation, you still want to use that weapon. Have the Five Elders reported the matter to Im?
But even if Wano Country is the origin of the historical text, and even if the founding of Wano Country means the liberation of the ancient weapon Pluto, Wano Country has not encountered such a situation in memory.
Because of yourself?
Soon, before Kevin's thoughts could wander, the voice of Den Den Mushi Rizefa sounded again.
"This time it's not the Demon Slayer Order, but another power that can wipe out Wano Country. The cause was the battle between Kaido and the Cloaked Man in Wano Country. Wano Country is a little special, and the World Government will never allow anyone to possess it."
"So you understand?"
Den Den Mushi nodded.
Kevin exhaled: "I understand. Teacher, you have given me a big problem... I have never thought of going against the World Government. I am their man."
Vice Admiral He at the side smiled and said, "I remember you just said that you were from the navy."
Uh →_→
Den Den Mushi glanced at the middle-aged woman. As expected, this woman was someone you couldn't afford to mess with, and she even sent Tina to monitor him.
"I can only say that I will do my best, but I can't guarantee anything else. Also, we will only do things when we see the money, so let the finance department act faster."
"Snapped."
As soon as the words fell, Den Den Mushi hung up.
Zhan Guo was stunned.
Like that troublemaker Sakaski, this is the second lieutenant general who dared to hang up the marshal's phone.
"Is everything ok Zefa?"
Zefa obviously knew that the question was directed at Kevin: "Telling him the truth is the best solution. He is a new generation recognized by Nomi, and considering his background, there is a high probability that there will be no problem."
Tsuru agreed, "Whether there is a problem or not, we have no way to help. The people of Wano Country can only pray that the Revolutionary Army is not in their country."
After the words were spoken, everyone in the office fell silent.
The significance of the navy seemed to be vulnerable at this moment. The word justice hanging above Zhan Guo's head was also full of irony.
They are the navy, and they are the umbrella of protection for ordinary people on this ocean. This has been their purpose since they joined the navy.
But now, they have to act with just an order from the World Government, even though the people in Wano Country are innocent just like those in Kamiya back then.
The umbrella and the executioner are opposites.
After a long time, Zhan Guo rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Garp, what's the situation with Tenshang Jin's disappearance in the East China Sea?"
Garp picked his nose and said, "They just disappeared. The five escort ships and the CP agents on them all disappeared in that sea area."
"In the following days, many CP personnel came. After suspecting that it was a special shipwreck, many agents went into the water to search the seabed along the nearby waters. However, they still found nothing except a few pieces of wood."
The gold in the sky was stolen, and Marijoa was ready to take real action against Wano Country.
The continuous problems gave Zhan Guo a headache.
Don't think that the Celestial Dragons will let it go. We can see from the cloaked man that after this guy killed three Celestial Dragons, the World Government wants to completely wipe him out even if they have to use that kind of power.
The investigation in the East China Sea will never end and may even implicate many innocent people.
……
G5 branch, base director's office.
This is the New World in the second half of the Grand Line, and it's not as close to the Judicial Island as the Naval Headquarters, so the only way to contact Spandine is to use Den Den Mushi.
After all, Kevin's identity doesn't allow him to teleport, and the location and time of his appearance require the character settings of the other party's vest.
In addition, compared to Sengoku and others, Kevin knows more about the weapons on Mary Geoise.
The five immortals between powers have no power to use this ultimate weapon, and only Im, the final boss between flowers, can take out a pen to tick off the islands.
So at present it should be true as Sengoku and others thought. Whether Wano Country will be wiped out or not still needs to be investigated thoroughly.
However, it can also be seen from this that the Revolutionary Army and Kevin are already quite important in the eyes of those five old immortals.
After all, they still need to report to Im.
In addition, in Kevin's opinion, Wano Country is as important to the Revolutionary Army as it is to him.
After talking with Roger about Pele in Goa Kingdom, there were some changes to the original plan, and the experimental field was Wano Country.
In a country like Wano that has not experienced twenty years of suffering, will the people accept ideological awakening and have the will for revolution?
This also includes the assistance of Oden, and the favor of the Revolutionary Army for destroying the Beast Pirates. If this is difficult, then the previous plan must be changed.
The new generation's thoughts are more awakened, which is a backup plan. Wano Country will be liberated anyway, but the difficulty and time required for a complete change of thoughts are the data Kevin needs to refer to.
While my thoughts were racing, the Den Den Mushi was connected.
"Hahaha! You called me right after I received the appointment notice. Now I'm in charge of a part of CP0, which is a big step forward."
Kevin congratulated him a few times, and then after paying favors and money, Spandine agreed to run the project.
In fact, Kevin knew very well that the Five Elders did not have the leisure to designate a few people to go to Wano Country to gather intelligence, and it was likely that they would hand it over directly to CP.
In this case, Spandine, who is already in a high position, can make the decision naturally without any effort.
It's just that the hypocritical request and sacrifice are necessary, because this guy is corrupt.
Sure enough, the next day Spandine called Den Den Mushi and said that the matter had been settled.
There are six people going to Wano Country to investigate, among which Kevin is the temporary commander. He will go directly to Qiangang to see the attitude of Wano Country.
If that doesn't work, then they will need to conduct an investigation from the front at night, using Moon Steps to cross the natural barrier of Wano Country.
Before hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Spandine also asked Kevin. "The water in Wano Country is very deep right now. If the cloaked man is really there, your operation this time is very dangerous."
Spandine reminded: "The Navy should also have analyzed the cloaked man. The teleportation ability and the high-temperature flame sword are of particular concern."
Kevin on the Den Den Mushi side remained calm, but he was already cursing in his heart.
So how much do the World Government and the Navy value themselves now?
"Just go investigate, and withdraw if you're discovered. As you know, the navy has been notified to help blockade the sea area. They're giving too much, so we split it in half."
These words made Spandine feel a little embarrassed, and Den Den Mushi had the same expression.
He seemed to be thinking for a while.
Spandine said, "Alright. I can't just take half of your kindness. The World Government's research institute has some new things. You need to wait for people to join you at G5. I'll have them deliver them to you."
Kevin didn't expect to have any new gains, so he smiled and asked, "What new things? A famous sword? Or a young lady from the research institute?"
They both let out the same miniature laugh.
Knowing it was a joke, Spandine told Kevin to look forward to it and then hung up.
But soon, another private Den Den Mushi in his arms rang.
As soon as the Den Den Mushi was connected, the snail's appearance took on a furtive expression.
"Kevin, is it convenient for you to talk there?"
Hearing this, Kevin let go of his gaze, then replied, "What is it? You can tell me."
Kuzan whispered, "Are there any family members in Wano Country? I got the news that the World Government will use some kind of force to destroy the entire Wano Country in one blow. You need to notify your family to evacuate as soon as possible! As soon as possible!"
It was difficult for the substitute general to lower his voice while emphasizing his nervousness.
After thinking for a while, Kevin replied directly: "Don't worry. I'm the one who arranged the investigation on the World Government side. It won't be a big problem. You can still hide as usual."
Kuzan was obviously stunned by Den Den Mushi's performance, and then said helplessly: "Let me meet my family when I have a chance. I'm afraid my mentality will explode after going on too many missions."
"There's a chance."
Kevin thought for a moment and advised: "You should be clear about the significance of your lurking. You are already one of the three most powerful admirals in the Navy. Your significance lies not in the present but in the future, Kuzan."
"I have also carried out many missions with you, and I know that most of them require us to face this dark world. But if we cannot endure such darkness, how can we bring dawn to the world?"
"We are different..."
There was silence for a while on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, and finally just replied with "I understand" and hung up.
Kevin lay in the recliner and rubbed his forehead irritably.
Changing the world is not an easy path.
Even if the next diamond treasure chest reveals absolute power, it will not destroy the entire Marijoa and the world will not change.
Strength is one of the necessary conditions, but it is also necessary to eliminate old ideas from the world and allow new ideas and wills to take root.
This number is too huge, and it involves changing the habitual way of thinking of the entire ocean. But it is not that the upper level issues an order and the whole world follows it.
That's playing house, not revolution.
Only by experiencing pain can one burst out in silence and truly realize the significance of the saying "there is no distinction between high and low in life" for the future.
……
A few days later, a ship that crossed the Red Earth Continent arrived at the port of the G5 branch.
The ship was not in the style of a warship, but rather looked like a pirate ship, with a pirate flag specially hung on it.
After getting on the ship, the CP people gave Kevin a big box, which contained a gift from Spandine.
Ok?
Mechanical arm?
Pretty cool, with an instruction manual.
However, after Kevin read the instructions, his face turned completely dark.
It was only a few months. Because he was transferred to the G5 branch to allow the Revolutionary Army to develop in secret, and because Tenjo Jin was currently facing problems in Wano Country, he paid attention to it for a while, and the World Government created something like this?
As expected, that is Vinsmoke Judge’s specialty, which is to produce equipment.
This arm has no other functions, it is just a glove and an arm guard shell. It does not affect the movement and can still exert its domineering power as usual.
Just one function: heat insulation!
Kevin rubbed his forehead.
This thing doesn't have the equipment of the Legion of Evil, such as invisibility, poison, laser cannon, etc. Without these fancy features, its only function is to target himself.
No more, no less, just over 6,000 degrees.
This is really black technology. What material can withstand 6,000 degrees?
Outrageous!
After complaining a few words, Kevin tried to put on the new equipment. It looked like a mechanical arm and it directly wrapped around his entire right arm after he touched it.
Don't give two arms at all, just one arm. The left hand is not used?
Obviously, the production of this thing is definitely not high, but especially for Kevin's equipment, it seems unnecessary to equip the small fry with it.
……
Soon, within a few days, the ship from the G5 branch arrived in Wano Country.
The World Government had cooperated with Wano Country before, so they had recorded pointers and nautical charts and went directly to the waterfall in Qiangang.
After Kevin communicated with Wano Country, Wano Country stopped lectures and speeches starting yesterday, and even arranged more than a dozen locations for the World Government to investigate.
To prove that the revolutionary army had long left and Wano Country is still the same closed country as before.
The negotiations with Qiangang went smoothly. With Kin'emon playing the role of the samurai in charge of Qiangang, he expressed his willingness to continue cooperating with the World Government.
Most of them are transactions of seastone.
The CPs also breathed a sigh of relief as they didn't have to use the Moon Steps to descend on Wano Country and avoided conflict. After all, they knew that if they really met the cloaked man, they would be abandoned.
After successfully entering Wano Country, under Kevin's guidance, the few of them investigated the entire Wano Country, even including the market in Flower City.
Finally, at the Shogun's Mansion in Flower City, several people were invited by Oden to have a feast, and he expressed Wano Country's willingness to continue cooperating and trading with the World Government.
At this time, Oden did not know Kevin, but he knew that the results of the investigation in the past few days would determine the fate of Wano Country.
The performances one after another, as well as the explanation to the public a few days ago that there was a pirate invasion and that they needed to gather and hide for a few days, were all done by Oden.
The Beasts Pirates had just been destroyed not long ago, and everyone obeyed the arrangements.
Those who stayed behind to complete the performance were the samurai, some ninjas, and the singers.
