Chapter 733: Return to Headquarters (2)
Pushing open the door, Shirek entered the Fleet Admiral's Office.
Sengoku was already waiting inside, sitting at the main desk and handling matters.
"You're here, Shirek. Have a seat. I want to hear your specific thoughts."
Sengoku had already received the news of Shirek's return to Marine Headquarters.
He looked up at Shirek and smiled.
He wanted to know how Shirek planned to handle this mess.
Simply contacting him via Den Den Mushi wasn't enough to know what Shirek would do.
He needed to understand Shirek's plan and prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard when Shirek initiated the operation.
Just the internal turmoil within the Marines required him to suppress it beforehand and control public opinion.
In many aspects, Shirek couldn't act alone; he needed Sengoku's recognition and help.
Sengoku and Tsuru both knew that Shirek's actions wouldn't be simple or conventional.
Especially since Shirek had refused his offer to arrange personnel reinforcements.
They needed to reach a consensus on many things.
Facing Sengoku, Shirek didn't hide anything.
He presented the list he had prepared, along with his plan for a purge within the Crime Investigation Department.
He also presented his idea of arranging members to infiltrate various Branches by leveraging Headquarters personnel transfers.
Shirek wouldn't act immediately.
The Crime Investigation Department only needed to show a slight change, occasionally apprehending a few corrupt Marines to deter other Navy Officers.
Although there would be change, it wouldn't be too significant.
This was to lull others into a false sense of security.
According to Shirek's plan to cast a wide net, the members would need to lie low for at least several years, catching all suspected targets in one go.
Just as Chief of Staff Tsuru had guessed, Shirek planned to lie low like a Viper and then strike lethally.
Rather than exposing himself early and allowing people to react and become more cautious, it was better to eliminate them all at once.
However, what surprised Sengoku the most was the list in Shirek's hand.
So many names.
He hadn't expected Shirek already had a list of targets to invite.
The number even exceeded the total number of Crime Investigation Department members.
Even for Headquarters to achieve this would be a considerable undertaking.
He hadn't expected Shirek to accomplish this solely through his own capability.
Seeing that Shirek already had a complete plan, and that the Crime Investigation Department's operation wouldn't be sudden, with several years of preparation time, Sengoku also felt relieved.
He would stand behind Shirek and give him full support.
"You will invite these people yourself. As for who to transfer out and where to transfer them, just send me a message to notify me when the time comes."
Involving the transfer of hundreds of people wasn't a simple matter to resolve.
However, Marine Headquarters was currently under Sengoku's control.
Transferring some personnel was actually a very simple task.
Shirek was like a sharp saber, helping Sengoku cleanse the dirty blood within the Marines.
Only in this way could the Marines as a whole become healthier and achieve vigorous upward development.
Leaving the Office, Shirek's gaze gradually turned cold.
After his conversation with Sengoku, he now knew Sengoku's resolve to support his operation.
Even though the Marines didn't have much money, they would allocate a small portion to support the Crime Investigation Department's development.
He was fulfilling the duties of his position.
Now, Shirek was even considering things for Sakazuki.
Strictly speaking, Shirek was also a Marine Traitor.
Because he had sold the North Blue Navy's decommissioned weapons.
Even decommissioned munitions, when released onto The Great Sea, could stir up some trouble.
Not to mention sending munitions into the hands of a dangerous figure like Doflamingo.
The unrestrained Doflamingo had repeatedly and rapidly massacred the residents of small towns.
Completely lacking a sense of reverence.
Shirek didn't go to see others.
Unlike other Navy Officers who return to Headquarters and immediately visit "Black Arm" Zephyr at the Marine Elite Camp to check on the junior students, Shirek went straight back.
In the Rear Area of Marine Headquarters.
At this time, a Bar was already filled with Navy Officers.
They were all waiting for Shirek's return to celebrate him.
This included Harken, Shirek's number one General.
Shirek had brought him back to Headquarters as well.
The Dark Sun Cult had already entered the right track.
Continuing to stay in North Blue actually held little value.
After the gathering ended, he returned to the residence arranged for him at Headquarters.
He used to have a place to live there, but it was only temporary.
As he became a Vice Admiral, his identity and status were completely different.
The residence Headquarters had rearranged was naturally better.
Mistral had come ahead of time to clean it.
Shirek also planned to have a good rest for one night.
Tomorrow, he would officially begin his work, and it would be very busy.
Shirek had left the party early.
Otherwise, with the drinking prowess of those Navy Officers, it was possible that most people could end up collapsing.
Shirek actually didn't like that drunk feeling; it would affect the condition of his body.
His return to Marine Headquarters, in the short term, might not seem to cause much impact, but he already carried absolute confidence.
Even in his heart, he already had several targets that needed to be monitored.
