Chapter 731: Justice by Any Means Necessary (2)
Regardless of the means used, prioritize the interests of the Marines and achieve the objective with high efficiency and low losses.
This was his ideology.
"Justice by Any Means Necessary!"
Sengoku spoke Shirek's justice ideology.
Many Marines only truly determined their ideology after reaching high positions and experiencing many things.
After all, reality is cruel, and the World Government exists.
Just like Kuzan, who went from the widely accepted passionate justice to the lazy justice after experiencing the Ohara Incident.
Who knew that Borsalino initially also had thoughts of changing the world?
That ambiguous justice was also formed after realizing many things couldn't be changed; it was essentially giving up.
Many people in the Neutral Faction were actually like this.
Even Sengoku's "Justice that Reigns Over the World" had only formed in recent years.
As for Shirek's "Justice by Any Means Necessary".
Sakazuki's "Absolute Justice".
They were determined very early on and had never wavered.
"No wonder he gets along with Sakazuki."
They didn't know yet that Shirek had already sided with Sakazuki.
After all, Shirek currently still belonged to the Neutral Faction.
In terms of style, Kyle belonged to the Neutral Faction leaning towards the Dove Faction, while Shirek belonged to the Neutral Faction leaning towards the Hawk Faction.
Someone like Borsalino was absolutely neutral.
Tsuru stood up.
"You can discuss the specific matters after Shirek returns. I need to make a trip to the North Blue."
"Is something wrong?"
"Donquixote Doflamingo, that is a dangerous Child. He has caused quite a few incidents in the North Blue these past few years. I want to capture him before he completely grows up. At worst, I can curb his development."
"It's also a way to find something to do, and incidentally, see the situation of the North Blue Navy with my own eyes."
"Oh? That guy's identity is not ordinary. Be careful. Even in Mary Geoise, there are still people paying attention to him."
Sengoku was not unfamiliar with this name.
He had paid attention to the major incident that happened in Mary Geoise back then.
However, he hadn't paid much mind to it.
He hadn't expected that after so many years, a Child who established a Faction had already grown up to become the foremost Dark Forces in the North Blue Underworld.
This also made him think of another Child within the Marine organization, his adopted son "Little Berry", whose original name was Rosinante, Doflamingo's biological younger brother.
It was only from Rosinante's mouth that he learned that the young Doflamingo had actually done such a big thing.
He personally killed his father, brought his father's head back to Mary Geoise, wanting to become a Celestial Dragon again.
But in the end, he was driven out.
Sengoku still didn't take the Donquixote Family seriously.
He had many things to deal with and couldn't possibly pay attention to an Underworld Forces in the North Blue.
Even if it needed to be handled, it would be handled by the North Blue Navy.
However, his identity was special, and Sengoku actually didn't want to interfere.
Who knew what other connections were behind him?
He did not refuse Tsuru's idea.
Watching Tsuru leave.
Sengoku's gaze fell upon the intelligence reports from The World.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates fighting like dogs in the New World was something he wished to see.
It also represented the success of the World Government's plan.
It was indeed a bit regrettable that one side was not annihilated.
"Tyrant Dragon" Zak's terrifying display of power also made him extremely wary.
If he were to attack Mary Geoise or Marineford, who knew how many casualties it would cause.
One must know that in the rear area of Marineford, there was a city where a large number of Civilians resided, many of whom were Marine family members.
If it really broke out in Mary Geoise, who knows how many losses it would cause, dealing a heavy blow to the overall Marine strength.
Just thinking about it made Sengoku feel a bit afraid.
Regarding "Tyrant Dragon" Zak, he decided not to offend him if possible.
Of course, there was another way, and that was to let Zak die.
This way, the threat to Marine Headquarters and Mary Geoise would be completely gone.
Therefore, merely targeting the Tyrant Dragon Pirates wasn't enough.
It was necessary to further intensify the conflict between the Tyrant Dragon Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates, and even with other Factions in the New World.
It would be best to trigger a great battle and let Zak die.
Even if he didn't die, the Marines and the World Government must make a move for a one-hit kill.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates and the World Government were already absolute enemies, and conflicts had already erupted between them.
However, the Marines wouldn't make a move in such matters.
It was best left to the World Government.
Sengoku had already made a suggestion to the Five Elders.
Regardless, he didn't want "Tyrant Dragon" Zak's attacks on Wano Country and other Top Power Base Camps to fall upon Mary Geoise.
Sengoku believed that the World Government also recognized Zak's threat and wouldn't show mercy.
The vast Chaotic Sea Area in the South of the New World.
It was also a good thing for the Marines and the World Government.
Pirates engaged in fierce fighting and competition among themselves.
In this Sea Area, the strength of the pirates was constantly being consumed.
Unlike before, when the Major Top Powers partitioned the New World, those relatively weaker pirates had almost no living space.
They either acted low-key or joined and attached themselves to those Top-Tier Pirate Crews.
Under such circumstances, the overall strength of the New World Pirates was constantly increasing.
The threat to the Marines and the World Government would also grow larger.
Due to the Great Pirate Era opened by Roger.
While the Marines were conducting World Conscription, the losses of the New World Pirates during the bloody battle were also recovering quickly.
If there wasn't a space for them to compete and consume each other, perhaps in just a few years, the New World Pirates would recover to their peak.
Now, a large number of young pirates with ambition were pouring into this vast Sea Area, and the competition was particularly intense.
Pirates were constantly dying in battle.
Such a sight was naturally what they wanted to see.
After all, the current Marines would find it difficult to fight back into the New World in a short time.
Suppressing the Great Pirate Era, starting from the Four Seas, would take at least seven or eight years.
Although the results of the North Blue Navy seemed considerable, the number of pirates was still increasing.
Killing a large number of pirates couldn't change the current situation of pirates pouring out in large numbers.
After all, the emergence of pirates was something they found difficult to control.
It was only because the West Blue underwent a purge in earlier years that the mission was relatively easy.
However, in this vast Sea Area, what if a young monster truly rose quickly and carved out a bloody path from within?
Adding one more top-tier great pirate might be incomparable even if countless other pirates were killed.
Who knows how great a threat it would pose to the Marines in the future.
Sengoku was vigilant, but he couldn't do anything, only pay attention frequently.
