There is a Marine exclusive pub in the town of Marineford.
During break time, the tavern is always full.
Especially Marine, who just came back from a mission and rested, wished she could spend the whole day in the bar to rest her body and mind.
As soon as Sera entered the tavern, he heard someone greet him.
"Sera Rear Admiral, we're over here."
A Rear Admiral greets Sela.
Sierra turned her head and saw that the left corner of the tavern was already full of members of the Blue Ocean Club.
Serra walked over.
"how's it going?"
"How will Lord Victor handle this matter?"
One of them asked Sierra.
Sera lost three Devil Fruits, including an Ancient Zoan.
If the Ministry pursues responsibility, Sera will definitely be arrested and go to jail.
Sierra sat down, and under the gaze of everyone, he replied: "Master Victor let me relax and spend this time with my family. During this period, I will be suspended for investigation."
"You said vacation?"
"Have a holiday!"
The surrounding generals and officers all stared wide-eyed.
The other Marines in the tavern also stretched their ears.
It can be seen from their expressions that they are all shocked!
According to the normal procedures of the Ministry, now Serra needs to cooperate with the investigation of the judicial department, and is temporarily locked in a small dark room, losing her right to freedom.
However, Serra was not only not locked up, but was also granted a period of leave.
It's incredible!
"Master Victor must have intervened."
"That is inevitable, otherwise the military police would have come to arrest people."
"As expected of Mr. Victor."
When everyone praised Victor, Sierra remembered what Victor had said to him.
'You are mine, as long as I am here, I will be responsible to you to the end'.
"Thanks to Lord Victor."
Sierra drank the rum and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
...
at the same time.
Naval Headquarters, inside the Marshal's office.
Sora, Sengoku, and Victor sat in the room and smoked.
On the empty desktop, there is still a portfolio just sorted out by the Ministry of Justice.
Portfolio is sent by Sengoku.
The Minister of Justice is Farr Vice Admiral, who is Sengoku's subordinate and was promoted by Sengoku.
If it is normal, as long as Marine does not complete the task and there is an abnormal situation during the execution of the task, then the Ministry of Justice will immediately send the military police to buy tea and close the small black room for investigation.
This time, however, Farr did not do so.
Because Victor contacted him as soon as possible, he asked the Ministry of Justice not to continue the investigation.
As for the lost Devil Fruit, Victor will be responsible for retrieving it.
Farr is a serious person. He knows Admiral's power and knows that he can't mess with Victor, so he hands the problem to Sengoku.
Sengoku is his old boss now.
The same is Admiral, let Admiral negotiate.
After a moment of silence, Sengoku took the lead in questioning Victor, "Victor, do you know how bad the nature of this incident is?"
Victor knew what Sengoku was referring to, but he pretended to be confused, "Do you mean losing three devil fruits?"
Sengoku said seriously, with a straight face: "I know Sera is a member of the Blue Ocean Club. However, the original intention of the Blue Ocean Club was not to cover up crimes."
Victor took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the sky, "Marshal, if you meet civilians who are shipwrecked, will you save them or not?"
Kong frowned, "Of course it will be saved."
Victor looked at Sengoku and said, "Sengoku Uncle, what about you?"
Sengoku scowled.
If it is not saved, it will not only damage his reputation, but also affect the World government.
However, Sengoku did not intend to answer this question. He said coldly: "Now it is not a question of whether to save people, but you, as Admiral, should not interfere with the normal law enforcement procedures of the Ministry of Justice."
"Sengoku Uncle, if you say you can't save them, then I'll arrest Sera now and send them to the Ministry of Justice.
In the future, Marine will die if civilians are killed.
Conversely, if you can't see them die , Nasera did not behave abnormally during this mission and does not need to be investigated by the Ministry of Justice."
Victor responded with a smile on his face.
Without waiting for Sengoku to speak.
Victor took out a phone bug from his sleeve.
This phone bug is a video bug that can record and project images.
Victor said, "Sengoku Uncle, look at it and say."
Sengoku suddenly swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He didn't expect Victor to play this trick!
Victor aimed the phone bug at the sky again.
Sora rubbed his forehead with a headache on his face.
Victor smiled and said: "Everything is for justice. I believe that Sengoku Uncle, like Serra, will not refuse to save the victims."
Sengoku was silent, and Sora was also silent.
Victor said: "In addition, I guarantee with Admiral's position that the three Devil Fruits will be retrieved."
As soon as these words came out, Sora found the stairs.
Kong said solemnly: "Since you can guarantee it, then it's up to you to get them back. However, this is not an example."
After saying that, Sora also looked at Sengoku.
Sengoku said 'hmm', "Only this time."
Victor chuckled, then got up and left the office.
When Victor opened the sliding door of the office, the two Marines at the door stood up in a panic.
The two of them had just eavesdropped on the door.
Victor smiled and walked out of the office.
Looking at Victor's back, the two Marines at the door couldn't help giving their thumbs up.
They have been with the marshal for so many years, and this is the first time they have seen a chief who shields and protects his subordinates so much.
...
Marine's internal information circulates extremely quickly.
Victor sided with Serra and vouched for her with Admiral's position.
This is extremely shocking inside Marine.
Because never seen Marine Admiral do this before.
Now that Victor did this, the prestige of him and the Blue Ocean Club had increased to an unprecedented height.
Who doesn't want to find a backer?
Who doesn't want to hug their thighs?
Marine, who was not used to Blue Ocean Club or Victor, started to change his opinion of Victor.
At least Victor is someone you can trust.
Follow Victor, you won't be betrayed, let alone take the blame for your superiors.
It's word of mouth.
Priceless things that money can't buy.
Victor was naturally happy to hear Wright's feedback.
If he wants to realize his ambition, he must have a group of loyal followers.
One prospers all, one loses all, a community of interests.
This naturally fit Victor's needs.
The news spread to all branches.
"Victor, I didn't expect him to be so reliable."
Ghost Spider muttered.
Dogman was lying on the sofa with his feet up on the coffee table, and he secretly glanced at Akainu.
Akainu was reading the newspaper, and he was not at all involved in the topic of discussing Victor.
Dogman wonders sometimes.
Would Akainu vouch for them if they were like Serra one day?
With Akainu's character...
can you?
