Chapter 174 Rocks, the "Remnant" of the D. Clan, Must Be Eliminated
After a while, the Legal Warrior Topman Vochuli Saint proposed a more politically savvy solution: "We can't punish Garp directly, as that would shake morale and give the outside world an excuse for the World Government to eliminate dissidents. Let's give him a mission that he can't get away from or be distracted by."
The God of Scientific Defense, Jeigolusia Satan, sneered: "Then give him a chance to redeem himself! In the Lox annihilation campaign six months from now, let him be the vanguard! Put all his energy into the battle, so he has no time to worry about Roger."
"The order to transfer Garp must be issued as soon as possible, and he must immediately lead a team to the New World to carry out strategic defenses, away from headquarters."
"After Garp left the first half of the Grand Line, he immediately mobilized all members of the CP organization to confirm the whereabouts of Roger and his companions and capture him."
"At the same time, let Zephyr be in charge of the execution security in Loguetown. This will ensure that the execution force is both representative of the Navy and can effectively limit Garp."
Even after the execution of Roger and the hunt for Brian the Beasts were finalized, the atmosphere in the room was far from relaxed, because everyone knew that all the arrangements revolved around a much larger ghost, Rocks D. Giebeck.
Shepard Gann Pitt, the God of Agriculture and War, raised a deeper concern: "In any case, we must be wary of the influence of the D. clan. Rocks' D., Roger's D., they are like two parallel lines of fate, intertwined with the World Government's centuries-long rule."
The Legal God of War, Topman Vochuli Saint, slowly shifted his gaze from the 3D projection, his voice calm and solemn, like a judge pronouncing the verdict of history.
"Our assessment of Rocks from the beginning focused too much on his identity as a pirate, while ignoring the 'history' and 'destiny' represented by the letter in his name."
"The D. race symbolizes the freedom and rebellious spirit of the ancient kingdoms. They are born enemies of the World Government. They are like a burning flame, constantly stirring up turmoil on the seas."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the other four War Gods: "The D Clan. These four letters have been a curse upon our World Government for eight hundred years. They are not fools chasing treasure, nor simply ronin enjoying freedom; they are the remnants of the rebellious will of the ancient kingdoms."
Saint Satan frowned, clearly impatient with this profound discussion, but Saint Vochuli's words compelled him to listen.
"Rocks is different from Roger. Roger sought the end of the sea; he was an explorer who sought answers in history. But Rocks' goal from the beginning was to become the King of the World; what he wanted to do was overthrow Mary Geoise, which we have protected for generations."
"His existence is like the strongest voice resounding again after an ancient kingdom has been silent for eight hundred years. The crew he gathered, whether it's Kaido, Big Mom, or Whitebeard, are all monsters capable of overturning the world. Rocks' ambition far surpasses that of all pirates; he directly challenged the legitimacy of the Celestial Dragons' rule."
Vochuri continued his analysis: "The power of the D. clan isn't simply about physical skills or Devil Fruit abilities, but rather an innate charismatic nature and a natural disdain for the World Government. They often manage to gather the most powerful forces and ignite the flames of desire in the hearts of the lower classes who yearn for freedom and change. This spread of 'will' is something we don't want to see."
"Rocks is currently the most intense embodiment of this flame. He is not only a member of the D clan, but his goal is to conquer the world, replace us, and become the new ruler. This is something we absolutely cannot tolerate."
At this moment, the environmental war god Marcus Mazs Saint adjusted his gaze and landed on the "Honeycomb Island" sea area marked with a red circle on the 3D projection.
Environmental War God Mas Saint interjected, "Therefore, the purge of Rocks has far greater political than military significance. We not only want to eliminate him personally, but also to completely destroy the Rocks Pirates—this symbol—to prove that any attempt to challenge the authority of the World Government will end in the most tragic way."
"We have already invested most of our resources in the upgrading of the navy's armaments and the deployment of forces without affecting the operation of the world government."
"Roger merely inadvertently touched upon the truth of history, while Rocks deliberately sought to reshape it. He must be treated as a remnant of the ancient kingdom." Executing Roger was to intimidate the spirit of the D. clan; eliminating Rocks was to completely sever the physical body of the D. clan.
"This operation is not only to eliminate Rocks, but also to demonstrate the World Government's unparalleled military strength and will. We will deploy all Pacifista prototypes and fully utilize the latest technological achievements of the World Government's scientific departments." Satan Saint's eyes gleamed with fervor for the new weapons.
"Six months from now, the electromagnetic railgun of the 'fifteen-ship steel fleet' will be fully formed, completely flattening Hive Island! The 'three shadow forces' will cut off all of Rocks' escape routes!"
"Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku, these three future admirals of the Navy, will end this era in their strongest form."
"This battle is a gamble with the future of the Navy; we cannot afford to lose." The words of Financial War God Izanbaron V. Nasujuro were filled with unwavering confidence.
"The decisive battle six months from now must be an overwhelming victory. We must show the world that, in the face of the World Government's absolute military power, even D is nothing but a laughable footnote. Only in this way can we re-establish our control over the new world and lay the iron-blooded foundation for the next eight hundred years."
"Roger's demise was caused by Brian of the Beasts. The Rocks Pirates' demise will be ended by us."
"Once Rocks falls, the D. clan's influence on the seas will completely collapse, and the remaining small pirates will be no match for him."
The Five Elders reached a consensus: Rocks was not just a pirate; he was a threat to history. The elimination of Rocks was a fateful battle concerning the survival of the World Government.
Maz Saint slowly rose, his eyes filled with a desire to control the future: "Inform Sora that after Roger's capture, his execution will be personally supervised by Sora, and Zephyr will be in charge of all security in Loguetown. Make sure everything goes perfectly smoothly. As for Brian the Beasts—"
He narrowed his eyes, a chilling glint in his eyes: "Six months from now, if he dares to show his face on the battlefield of the New World, we will spare no effort to make this 'Beast' a casualty of the Rocks Pirates. He will pay the ultimate price for all his arrogance and his trampling of the Celestial Dragons."
"We will use his blood to completely wash away the humiliation suffered by Mary Geoise!"
"Okay, I agree."
"agree."
The Five Elders reached a consensus. This resolution carried the World Government's centuries-old karmic hatred for the "D. Clan" and its extreme anger at the challenge to its authority.
They are like the most ruthless yet wisest chess players on this vast ocean, setting up this enormous game that will determine the fate of the world.
Roger's death, Rocks' demise, and Brian the Beasts' pursuit will be the three key steps for them to completely control this world.
As for Garp, this uncertain factor, they firmly locked him on the most dangerous front line in the name of "justice" and "mission".
As night fell, the lights of Mary Geoise shone like stars in the sky, illuminating this highest center of world power, a place filled with intrigue and bloodshed.
