“What face!”

Den Den Mushi changed his voice and shouted: “You Marines are only the surface of the World Government. Of course, our face is more important. Sakasugi, don’t be careless!”

“Yes, don’t be willful. The battle situation over there can be slowed down. You lead the team back and deal with those Revolutionary Army soldiers first.” Den Den Mushi continued to change his voice.

Sakasugi gritted his teeth and said, “Why did it have to be at this moment! If we retreat now, Pirate’s arrogance will rise. Decades ago, we withdrew from the New World, and now we want to withdraw from the New World? Once we move our forces back, we may not even be able to keep the New World now. Do you want Marine to return to Marin Vando?!”

“Put that kind of thing aside, the important thing is still this side. Follow orders, Sakasugi!” Another voice sounded from Den Den Mushi.

Sakasugi asked again, “What about Kuro? If we retreat, those pirates will deal with Kuro!”

“We will communicate with Kuro. He is stationed in the Country of Peace. That kind of place is not easy to break into. In contrast, with his loyalty to us, it must be easier to communicate than you. That’s it, come back quickly and deal with the Revolutionary Army first!”

Beep beep beep—

The Den Den Mushi hung up, leaving only the busy tone of the creature.

“How can it be fixed!!”

Sakasugi shouted angrily and crushed the Den Den Mushi again. The broken pieces were still melted. The red-hot fist smashed hard on the desk, burning a big hole in the desk. The flame ignited around the hole and surrounded the whole desk in an instant.

The desk took a lot of damage.

Desk Pawn …

Ignoring the Marines who rushed to put out the fire, Sakasugi stood up and walked out, saying, “Call Crane over!”

Marines are naturally divided into battle lines. Except for Green Bull, who has to protect Mariejois from attacking, Marines are all out and One Smile is on the other side of the battle line. Sakasugi is on this side and Tsuru is also on the other side, but as it happens, they have just finished a large-scale battle and he and Tsuru have met up, so they are all together.

When Sakasugi walked to the deck to enjoy the wind, the flagship belonging to Tsuru also leaned over. A ladder extended from the side of the ship to the side of the ship, and the old and stooped Tsuru slowly approached.

“Don’t speak first, let me think…”

Crane stopped Sakasugi just as he was about to speak and said, “The higher-ups want you to go back?”

Sakasugi looked at the sea and gritted his teeth. “Those people are too hateful. They actually let go of such a good opportunity!”

“I knew it…”

Crane pinched the space between his eyebrows with a headache. “When I heard the news that a large number of Revolutionary Army appeared over there, I had a premonition that the higher-ups would definitely give up this opportunity. We can’t help it, we are just the surface of the World Government, we have to listen to orders.”

“But there are huge consequences!”

Sakasugi said angrily, “From Whitebeard to Kaido, Big Mom and Red Hair, Marines almost ended the Great Age of Pirates. Now, if we retreat, our prestige will plummet. Those pirates think that they have won and they will be even more arrogant. At that time, the pirates all over the world will welcome another outbreak. The situation we have worked hard to create will be destroyed just like that!”

“And Kuro… If we retreat, what about him?!”

These words made Crane look troubled.

She understood Sakasugi’s meaning. Now that Pirate has been forced by Marine to almost unify the camp, and Kuro has recently done something big and killed Kid and Law. These two have now inherited the territory of the Fourth Emperor in the New World, and their strength and power are very strong. They have taken down two at once and hit Pirate hard. They are almost at the critical point. If they continue to fight, Tsuru can foresee the scene of Pirate’s total failure.

It was a great opportunity. Even though she had planned her next move, she felt that she should continue fighting. For this reason, she ignored Sakasugi’s iron-blooded style and no longer worried about Marine casualties.

There will definitely be casualties in the battle on the sea. Although this is a large number of casualties, if we can achieve a complete victory, the sea can enter a long-term peace. This is definitely worth it.

But now it’s hard to say. Once they retreat, everything they have is useless. Marine’s efforts are all in vain. The pirates of New World have not been exterminated, and because of the news of retreat, the world will probably enter a new turmoil. The momentum of the pirates who have been beaten to the brink will welcome a new wave of outbreak. At that time, they will be badly battered. If they are unlucky, they can even restore the chaotic situation of the Fourth Emperor.

And… Kuro.

In the past, it was fine. Even if they captured the Country of Peace and killed the Fourth Emperor, it also gave the pirates a chance. In addition, Kuro did not go out of the Country of Peace, so the pirates did not have time to deal with him.

Things are different now. Once they retreat, these pirates who have gathered into camps will definitely target Kuro, who is also in the New World and isolated in the second half.

Thinking of this, Crane sighed. “The higher-ups will not let Kuro retreat.”

The Country of Peace is too important. In Kuro’s hands, he can steadily provide weapons and Seastone to the World Government. It is impossible for the World Government to let go, so it is impossible for Kuro to retreat. Once he leaves, the Country of Peace will either be given to pirates for free or to the new power in the Country of Peace. At that time, it will still become the same as before. The World Government will not do such a loss.

But staying there… then the pressure on Kuro will be very great.

He is very strong, but no matter how strong he is, there is a limit. No matter how strong a person is, he can’t face thousands of silver medalists. He can wear them down to death, especially under the transfer of hatred. Tsuru can think of those pirates fighting for the empty position and prestige, they will definitely fight against Kuro.

Once he is defeated and even dies, the current situation will be reversed. If Marine’s most famous ‘Marine Hero’ dies in the hands of pirates, it will not be a matter of losing face.

“Call…”

Sakasugi gritted his teeth and said, “Let Kuro come back! Give up the present and Country War strategy. If the higher-ups ask about it, I will bear the responsibility! The future of the Marine is on him. He can’t have any accidents or even a defeat!”

In the past, Sakasugi did not care. Who has not lost before? Whether it is announced or not, there are times when they have lost, even Sakasugi.

Victory and defeat are common on the battlefield. No one cares about this.

But if a person has never been defeated from the beginning to the end, then he cannot be defeated!

Kuro’s current reputation is too great. Once he is defeated, it will be a big blow to Marine. If he dies, the blow will be even bigger.

Especially since that kid is still so young. I can’t let this defeat follow him for the rest of his life.

He is the future pillar of the Marine, recognized by many old Marines, including Sakasugi himself. He must not be defeated!
