Chapter 79: This Lineup, World War, Right?

"Are you moving so fast? As expected of Garp..." Upon hearing the news, a smile appeared on Kong's face, and he shook his head. The three guys, Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku, are all students he trained. Compared with Sengoku's prudence and calmness, and Zephyr's stubbornness and perseverance, Garp often doesn't follow the rules and can always do things that others don't expect. While Garp is often unreliable, Darren shouldn't have a problem if he's in charge. It's just that Garp was willing to give up pursuing Roger for a rescue mission, which is a rare thing. Such a thought just flashed through Kong's mind, but two figures suddenly appeared in front of him with a whoosh.

"Fleet Admiral Kong! I apply to fight!" "Old man, I have to go too, Darren is my student!" Sengoku and Zephyr stood shoulder to shoulder, gnashing their teeth and scrambling for the first place. Kong was stunned. He looked at Sengoku and Zephyr, who were pushing each other in front of him, with a look of astonishment. For a moment, he imagined them as the two little guys scrambling to go to the cafeteria to eat after training.

"What are you doing?" Kong frowned, "Sengoku, you are the only Admiral in Marine, with a special status, heavy responsibilities, and cumbersome affairs..." "—Those can be let go first, Fleet Admiral Kong. I have already thought about it. Darren is very important to the development of our Marine, and the current priority is to rescue him from Kaido's hands!" Sengoku interrupted Kong without hesitation, and spoke loudly, with a firmness that left Kong momentarily confused. The corner of Zephyr's mouth twitched as Sengoku gave him a demonstrative look. Kong frowned even more, looked at Zephyr again, and said earnestly, "Zephyr, your position is the general Instructor of the training camp. The most important thing is teaching..." "—The group of boys in the training camp is already very good, and the old man who should be taught has already taught them. If they can't learn from the old man, there is nothing they can do!" Zephyr stated categorically.

Sengoku: "..." Kong: "..." Zephyr raised an eyebrow at Sengoku. The other Marines present were dumbfounded at the scene in front of them, unable to believe their eyes. No matter how important Darren is, he is just a Commodore of the headquarters! Is it worth the Naval Headquarters trio scrambling to save him?

Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku leading an army to the New World at the same time... Even Roger and Whitebeard didn't get this kind of treatment, right? This lineup doesn't look like it's going to save people! The world war is estimated to be nothing more than this! Even if the Celestial Dragons, the nobles of the world, were captured, the trio of Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku were never so nervous...

Staff Officer Tsuru put his hand on his forehead, his head covered with black lines. Others may not know, but she knows Sengoku and the others well. "It's really lively... If I was arrested, I probably wouldn't be treated like this..." Borsolino, looking like he was enjoying the show, couldn't help joking with a smile. "Yes, at least I won't go," Sakazuki stated indifferently. Borsolino's smile faltered, and then he smiled stiffly, "Sakazuki, you'll have no friends if you talk like that." Sakazuki ignored him and just smoked his cigar expressionlessly. "You guys..."

Kong let out a long breath suddenly, "If you all run to save people, there will be no one in the headquarters." Listening to Fleet Admiral Kong's tone, Sengoku and Zephyr's hearts trembled at the same time. They were about to continue arguing, but unexpectedly, Kong's next words stunned them. "Then let's all go there."

Sengoku and Zephyr: ??

"Are you serious, Fleet Admiral Kong?" Sengoku's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask. Zephyr also looked on in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Kong smiled. He stood up from his seat. His face became serious as he gave the order, "For this mission, Admiral of Headquarters Sengoku is the commander, Zephyr is the deputy commander, and Borsolino Rear Admiral is accompanying... You select the appropriate personnel and go to the New World to carry out the rescue operation."

"During the operation, strict confidentiality must be maintained to avoid arousing Wanokuni's sensitivity and hostility as much as possible. Have you understood?"

After the resolute words fell, all the Marine generals present suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Yes, Fleet Admiral Kong!" They all saluted with a military salute, then quickly turned around and walked out of the office.

"Fleet Admiral Kong, is this okay? Let Sengoku and Zephyr both carry out the rescue mission at the same time..." After everyone left, Counselor He, who deliberately stayed behind, finally couldn't restrain her doubts and asked.

Fleet Admiral Kong has always been strict in employing troops and sticks to his word. This is not in line with his character. Kong smiled after hearing what Staff Officer Tsuru said. He leaned back on the chair, turned it, and looked at the earth below through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Under the strong sunlight, the cheerful figures of Sengoku and Zephyr looked very dazzling.

"Tsuru, did you see it?" Staff Officer Tsuru followed Kong's gaze and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. She vaguely saw the two guys pulling and slowing each other down. Kong chuckled, the cigar smoke lingering around his resolute face.

"That's really not a good idea. The students in the training camp need Zephyr's guidance. It is really unfair for Zephyr to rescue a student. This is really unfair to the other students. And as Sengoku is the only Admiral in this department, he does need to take on many tasks."

As he spoke, Kong's old and deep eyes seemed to be in a trance, as if they were caught in some distant memory. A soft smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. "But... I haven't seen them fighting side by side for a long time." When Staff Officer Tsuru heard this, she was startled and immediately fell into silence. After a while, she smiled and shook her head, "I see."

Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr... no matter what heights these three guys stand on, even though they are now the targets of countless Marines' admiration, worship, and following. But to the 70-year-old Marine Fleet Admiral in front of her, those three crooked Uncle Marines will always be those disobedient brats from back then. Yes, they haven't fought side by side for a long time... Staff Officer Tsuru couldn't help but sigh.

"So during this period, the work of the training camp and the headquarters will be left to you, Tsuru," Kong said with a smile. "..." Staff Officer Tsuru suddenly stopped sighing.
