PX0 has captured the royal palace of the Goa Kingdom and has commanded the navy that arrived there to imprison all the nobles and others.
The East China Sea branch of the navy was unaware of this plan, so they mistook PX0 for Garp himself.
In other words, from the perspective of the Goa Kingdom, this is a rebellion by "Garpu," and you two are the closest commanders to the area; now you are needed to clean up the mess.
After Sengoku finished speaking, not only Gaspard, but also Rosinandi couldn't hold back anymore.
"Um... Sengoku-sama, how much of PX0's strength does PX0 have compared to Vice Admiral Garp? Are you sure you want me and Major General Gaspard to go?"
Garp's reputation had a huge impact on the Navy. Even Rosinante, who was a copy of Garp, did not think that he and Gaspard were each other's match.
"You don't need to fight. 'Garp is never allowed to eat senbei'—that's the command code we set up. With that, you can make PX0 obey your commands."
The problem now is how to clean up the mess. This incident has dragged the navy and member states into it. If it's not handled properly, it will become a major scandal at sea. Do you understand what I mean?
"Understood, General Sengoku. We will find a way to save face for both the navy and the allied nations."
Upon hearing this, Gaspard understood Sengoku's meaning.
Compared to Rossinandi, Gaspardi is not simple-minded and understands the ins and outs of the upper echelons very well.
The navy is ultimately a military force under the World Government. Even if it charges money for its services, it is still a violent organ that maintains the existence of member states.
The fact that our own people are fighting each other must not be spread.
Since it has already happened, we need to find ways to minimize its impact.
It would be bad to either have the Navy admit their mistake directly or to let the Goa Kingdom simply suffer a setback.
After all, the Goa Kingdom is also one of the member states of the World Government. If they complain at the World Conference, the Navy will have a headache.
"Very good. According to the report from the East Blue Branch soldiers, PX0 believes that the King of Goa Kingdom is colluding with pirates. The Navy cannot lose face."
"Yes! Understood!"
Although Sengoku did not say it outright, Gaspard made his own judgment based on what he heard.
The Warring States period advocated that the navy's reputation should not be lost, so the focus should be on the navy's situation.
If the King of Goa Kingdom really colluded with pirates, then we should make an issue of it. Even if the Navy has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of a member state, as long as we claim to be fighting pirates, we won't be afraid of any disputes.
If they haven't colluded with pirates, then we'll have to find a way to adapt to the situation.
"Set sail! Destination: Goa Kingdom! Full speed ahead!"
Compared to the sails of conventional warships, Gaspardi's warships were also equipped with paddle wheels, a relatively advanced type of equipment in the navy's equipment inventory.
As the outer wheels spun, the warship changed course in the night and headed towards the Kingdom of Goa.
Meanwhile, in the Goa Kingdom, Project Garp has taken over command of the royal palace.
Whether they were nobles or royalty of the Goa Kingdom, they were all arrested without discrimination by Project Garp.
Those who tried to cause trouble during the chaos in the Goa Kingdom were also captured by the soldiers who arrived later under the command of Project Garp.
In a world where the Goa Kingdom is severely hierarchical, Project Garp has achieved equality here, a rare occurrence.
When the connection between the state and its people is completely severed, the people will not fight for the country, let alone expect any loyal ministers.
The king was captured, and the soldiers who tried to rescue him were all defeated. The remaining ministers, like opportunists, surrendered immediately.
For his own safety, the king ordered the other soldiers to obey Project Garp's orders.
