On the side of the navy headquarters in Marlingford, the Sengoku generals and others were discussing the matters of the New World, wanting to turn the situation over there as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, in Beihai, Karp fell silent after hanging up the call. He didn't seem to be in a good mood.
It was not the first time that he had rejected the promotion to admiral.
Ever since he joined forces with Roger to kill Locks in the God's Canyon, Karp's prestige in the navy was unparalleled.
The title of Navy Hero had become one of the standards of the navy. It even represented more power than the admiral and admiral of the navy.
As a result, there were many voices asking him to be promoted to admiral. However, Karp was unwilling to become a admiral. Although admirals represented greater honor and power, there were also restrictions that Karp could not accept.
As a member of the World Government's navy, Karp hated the Heavenly Dragon Tribe.
He had even made some 'inappropriate comments' in public many times.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had made great contributions in the Canyon of God and had become one of the iconic figures of the navy, his words would have been enough to sentence him to death. At the very least, he would have been kicked out of the navy.
However, due to his personal strength, prestige, and other factors, Karp still did what he wanted. No one could do anything to him. Therefore, he became a famous troublemaker among the higher-ups of the navy.
You can say whatever you want. Anyway, this is how I am.
Looking at Karp's silence, Brigadier General Bogard smiled and said,""Lieutenant General Karp, you should at least give some face to the headquarters. I think you're quite suitable to be a general. You can be like now. After all, no one can control you.”
"Hahahaha, Bogard, are you praising me or scolding me?”Lieutenant General Karp asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm praising you." Brigadier General Bogard said with a smile.
Karp waved his hand and said," Forget it. It's not that simple. I'm not interested in that position at all.”
"Then I won't say anything more." Brigadier General Bogard didn't try to persuade him anymore.
As Lieutenant General Karp's adjutant, Bogard was very clear about his superior's temper. He was stubborn. Once he had made up his mind, no one could say anything.
Then, the two of them chatted about other topics.
Not too far away from this huge warship, an ordinary-looking whaling ship was also sailing nearby.
Algrim, Beckman, and some of the pirates had turned into fishermen and were driving the whales in their predetermined direction.
"I thought that at least a lieutenant general would come. I didn't expect it to be a brigadier general. It seems that the heavens want to give us the poisonous fruit.”Algrim stood on the deck, holding a whaling crossbow in his hand. He kept adjusting the angle, as if he was ready to shoot at any time.
"Looks like our luck has been pretty good recently.”Beckman said with a smile.
Of course, if he and Orgrim knew that the naval hero Karp was also on the warship they were going to rob, they would not be able to laugh so happily.
According to the information given by Doflemingo, a Brigadier General named Bogard came to the Navy Headquarters.
The name sounded familiar to Algrim, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
It was unknown if that bastard had forgotten, or if he deliberately did not mention it, but he did not tell Ogrim that Brigadier General Bogard was Lieutenant General Karp's adjutant.
After thinking for a while, Ogrim was very sure that there would not be a person named Bogard among the famous generals of the navy in the future, whether it was a lieutenant general, a major general, or even a general.
Therefore, Algrim directly treated this guy as a general with no future or strength.
With this, he was even more confident. With a look, wasn't the Poison Fruit given for free? Then what was there to hesitate about? Shouldn't he go and snatch it?
Therefore, after getting some information from Doframingo, Ogrim, Beckman, and the others set off with the whaling ship to cause trouble.
The reason why they used whaling ships was mainly because the warships in the North Sea were too eye-catching.
Not to mention whether the news of them looting the warship had spread, what if they were too close to the navy headquarters and were asked to exchange secret signals?
Then it definitely wouldn't match. Wouldn't he be in trouble then?
Therefore, both Algrim and Beckman felt that it was better to use a whaling ship. It was easy to disguise and not so conspicuous. It was convenient to get close and make a surprise attack!
Moreover, compared to warships, whaling ships were more convenient for boarding battles.
"Lord Hammer, I see it. What a huge warship!!!”Planck stood on the watchtower and said excitedly.
This was the first time he had seen a huge warship from the navy headquarters. Of course, he was excited.
An evil smile appeared on Algrim's face as he said,""The target has appeared…"
After saying that, he looked at the sky again. It was going to be dark soon, which made him feel more confident.
There was no time to lose. This was the right time, so Algrim shouted in a low voice,"Everyone, get ready and start moving!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Orgrim pulled the trigger of the whaling crossbow in his hand.'There was an explosion.
A huge and sharp arrow shot out from Orgrim's hand, accurately hitting the back of the giant whale that Orgrim and the others had chased away for a long time.
In the next second, the whale howled in pain. Blood began to seep out of its wound, quickly dyeing the sea red.
The whale that was attacked endured the pain and was driven by Orgrim to swim in the direction of the warship. Due to the thick rope on the whaling crossbow, the whaling ship was also pulled up to speed.
"My aim is still so good…" Algrim first boasted, then said to Beckman beside him,""Bring me your specially made crossbow. The next shot will be aimed at a navy warship.”
The navy headquarters 'warships were huge. Compared to them, the whaling ship that Algrim was on was less than one-fifth of their size. The difference was even more obvious from the height of the ship.
Therefore, Algrim had no intention of using the conventional boarding battle to engage the warship. That would be too difficult. When everyone climbed onto the warship, they would probably not have much strength left. They might just die.
Therefore, Algrim's plan was to shoot the crossbow at the side of the warship, and then the two ships would quickly close in. Then, he would use the sledgehammer to directly break a big hole in the side of the warship, and then everyone would invade the interior of the warship.
Beckman quickly loaded his special crossbow onto the whale crossbow, and Orgrim was ready to go, waiting for the ship to approach.
At the same time, the navy on the warship naturally noticed Algrim and the others.
"It's a whaling ship!"
"Their ship is being dragged towards us by the whale!”
"Evade!"
Brigadier General Bogard also pushed open the cabin and walked to the deck. He asked,""What happened?"
"Brigadier General, it's a whaling ship. They're being dragged towards us by injured whales!”The navy soldier quickly replied.
Brigadier General Bogard did not take it seriously. After all, the warships of the Navy Headquarters were considered giants in the four seas. Who would dare to provoke them?
Moreover, there was a naval hero on the ship. Even if they met some outlaws, it would be for nothing.
However, Brigadier General Bogard was a very kind man. He took a look at the whaling ship and found that it was the size of a ship commonly seen in the North Sea. It did not pose any threat to the warship at all, so he thought that it might be a group of fishermen who hunted whales for a living.
"Think of a way to avoid them. Don't sink their ship.”Brigadier General Bogard ordered softly.
