"Burning down his own country just to welcome the Celestial Dragons?! Does this bastard even deserve to be king? Just lock him up in prison."
"Calm down, Rosinandi. The Navy has no direct law enforcement power over member states, let alone royal family matters. We can't interfere in these kinds of things."
Seeing that Rosinante was about to beat up the king, Gaspardi quickly pulled him back.
Project Garp is a robot, so how else can he be punished?
Rosinandi was like a godson to Sengoku, the king of a vassal state. He was beaten up, but Sengoku would definitely protect him afterwards.
Gaspard felt that the evidence collected by Project Garp was enough, given that he didn't have that kind of background. At least it would prevent the Goa Kingdom from having any reason to make a fuss.
"But."
"The World Conference is about to be held this year, and this kind of thing should be dealt with at the World Conference. Don't worry, these kings all have their pride."
There may be many people who collude with pirates, but no one is willing to bring this up in the open.
With these things, this matter should be much easier to resolve.
The Happo Navy is wanted by the Navy, but Green Pepper, as the leader of the Happo Navy, is able to attend the World Conference with the King of the Flower Country as a bodyguard.
It's almost a tacit rule that kings keep their own armies, but what the king of Goa did would seem foolish to any other king.
Like the royal family of Fryvanes, if they did this, other kings couldn't do anything about it, but if it were exposed, they would definitely kick them while they were down.
Even if it's just to gain the trust of their own people, they have to do it.
If a king were to show strong support for the actions of another, the country might well be on the verge of riots.
A king who could join forces with pirates to kill him at any moment is not someone to be at ease sitting on the throne.
"No, Major General Gaspard, you don't know enough about these kings."
Do you know a lot about royalty?
"It's hard to say, but it's not surprising that people who want to become the king of the Celestial Dragons would do anything."
The Donquixote Family is known for its extremes, with Doflamingo and Rosinante, as brothers, being particularly polarized.
Rosinante was well aware of the Celestial Dragons' evil nature and had absolutely no liking for the Goa Kingdom.
"The Sengoku general's orders were for us to clean up the mess, to prevent such a king from damaging the reputation of our navy, and he had no intention of exposing the pacifist's plans."
Pirates invaded the Goa Kingdom, and Vice Admiral Garp quelled the rebellion in time. The people of Goa Kingdom were affected by poison gas released by the pirates, causing them to hallucinate and mistake the Marine heroes for enemies. What do you think of this reasoning?
"Will this reason convince the people here in the Kingdom of Goa?"
"No, Rosinante, you don't understand. At this point, it doesn't matter what the people of the Kingdom of Goa think. Our 'Vice Admiral Garp' has used those naval forces to expose the King's actions."
The residents of the border town now resent the king and pay no attention to his words, because they might accidentally become garbage dump workers themselves.
The nobles of Gaozhen were already filled with resentment after being beaten up.
We can neither kill all these nobles, nor can we change what has already happened. As long as people in other countries believe the navy is there to quell the rebellion, that's enough.
If they do this, even if the people of the Goa Kingdom protest, the outside world will only think that they are causing trouble because they are dissatisfied with the damage caused by the Navy.
The nobles of such a small, remote country could not possibly have any influence.
In fact, Gaspardie had something more practical he didn't tell Rosinante.
Garp is a well-known naval hero; his reputation is far more important than that of a king.
Judging from the Sengoku period, the navy was superior to the Goa Kingdom, and now that there is evidence, this is even more true.
Even if Garp really killed such a king, for the sake of the Navy and the World Government's reputation, the higher-ups would still have to find a way to clean up the mess.
They might gradually restrict Garp afterwards, but they certainly won't publicly blame him.
Gaspardine was even a little scared; these days, even the robots Piltover made knew what irrefutable evidence and propaganda meant.
Project Garp had already secured confessions and witnesses before their arrival, further exacerbating the already isolated Goa Kingdom's divisions.
The resentment of the common people towards the king has likely deepened considerably.
Even robots are like this; if one day the robot's creator decides to turn against you, then you're probably doomed.
Gaspard shook his head, banishing the terrifying thought from his mind, then patted his face and roused himself.
"By the way, Major General Gaspard, that king seems to be saying something. Shall we listen to what he has to say?"
Driven by their shared aversion to the Goa royal family and their desire to protect the navy, Gaspard and Rosinandi quickly reached a consensus and completely redefined the situation.
At this moment, Rosinandi noticed that outside the sound barrier, the King of Goa seemed to have regained his energy and was saying something to them.
"You damned navy bastards! How dare you send your troops to storm my palace! I will definitely sue you!!"
"Can't this idiot tell the difference between the ranks of major general and lieutenant general?"
To maintain a similar appearance, Project Garp also has shoulder insignia. Unfortunately, the royal family of the Goa Kingdom seems to be unaware of the situation, as if the newly arrived Marines were talking to Garp to help him.
I said Rosinante.
"What's wrong?"
"If you beat him up now, you could say it was done by a robot."
"!"
