The instinct of forty years in the Navy couldn't allow Ignis Glow to think much.
He ordered the branch Navy to assemble.
Immediately, they were to go and wipe out those 'enemies'.
However, Just as the branch Navy rapidly assembled and set off, a heavy voice abruptly stopped everyone.
"G-64 branch Navy, without orders from headquarters, you are not to move!"
The voice came very suddenly.
Then a Navy member ran up holding a Den Den Mushi; the voice had come from the Den Den Mushi!
Hearing this, the faces of those below turned grim:
"What kind of joke is this?!"
"They're bombarding the town right under our noses!"
"That's right, are we just going to let the pirates run wild?!"
Many Navy members looked puzzled and gritted their teeth.
Upon hearing this, Ignis Glow's face instantly darkened.
The Den Den Mushi was silent for a moment.
Then it spoke again.
"I am Vice Admiral Momonga from Navy Headquarters, some of you may have heard of..."
"What?!"
"A Vice Admiral?!"
"Vice Admiral Momonga?! Then why would he give such an order...?"
Hearing this, the Navy members present were shocked.
Vice Admiral Momonga
That's a Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral...!
And a Navy Vice Admiral,
would specifically give such an order through a Den Den Mushi?!
Everyone was puzzled.
Momonga's voice continued from the Den Den Mushi:
"Regarding the reason, the G-64 branch Navy only needs to know one thing.
The town currently being destroyed is under normal punishment for failing to pay the 'Heavenly Tribute' on time.
The World Government has already contacted Navy Headquarters, and I am simply conveying the order through the Den Den Mushi."
As the words fell, the Navy members whose hearts had been shaken widened their eyes, their expressions unbelieving.
Over there...the ones attacking the innocent civilians in the town were?
World Government people!
A gigantic entity that made those present gasp for breath unconsciously appeared in their minds.
Looking again at the town, now reduced to a silent wasteland, completely destroyed by merciless Buster Call...
The Navy members present collectively chose silence.
Those were World Government people...
A gigantic entity that has stood in this world for eight hundred years without falling!
Even the Navy was just an organization under the World Government.
In other words, it was something that they, as ordinary Navy members, couldn't interfere with.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Suddenly, a voice, completely disregarding the World Government, finally rang out, filled with a cold questioning tone.
"Does being a World Government person mean they can just ignore the civilians? Even if the Heavenly Tribute is just a pretext?"
Everyone's eyes instinctively turned.
They saw an old soldier, his hair gray, but time hadn't left a mark on his sturdy body.
"It's...it's Colonel Ignis Glow!"
"Mr. Ignis Glow!"
Ignis Glow had served in the Navy for forty years.
He was also the current Colonel of the G-64 Navy branch.
Therefore, no one among the Navy present didn't know this Colonel who was about to retire.
Feeling the coldness in Ignis Glow's tone, everyone knew.
The reason was simple.
The town mercilessly destroyed by the World Government's Buster Call!
Was the town where Colonel Ignis Glow had lived for over thirty years!
His relatives were also there!
What kind of anger and oppression must he feel, witnessing his hometown destroyed...
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Momonga faced the question.
Momonga didn't answer immediately.
Because even though he knew the truth in his heart,
the Heavenly Tribute...was just a pretext.
The real purpose of this destruction.
Was for the World Government to set an example for those disobedient kingdoms in the North Blue.
They chose a town near a Navy branch.
The purpose was self-evident!
It was the World Government clearly telling all the forces in the North Blue.
Even if they destroyed a town, known to everyone to only contain innocent civilians, right in front of the Navy, they wouldn't face any consequences!
The World Government.
Acted with such impunity and tyranny, they didn't need to explain anything to the weak!
The oppressive silence continued.
Ignis Glow's gaze swept across the silent Navy members, finally settling on the Den Den Mushi.
"Good! Since the Navy can't do anything..."
He took off his Navy uniform jacket, revealing a pristine white shirt underneath.
The nearby Navy members' faces changed slightly.
Ignis Glow looked at a tall, dark-skinned Navy member.
"Cree."
"Yes! Colonel Ignis Glow!"
"From today, you are the Colonel."
"Wh-what?!"
The tall, dark-skinned Navy member was incredulous.
Then, Cree wasn't excited about becoming a Colonel.
Or rather...
His face changed.
Was Colonel Ignis Glow planning to disobey orders from Navy Headquarters...?
"What do you mean? Watch your words! Navy!"
Vice Admiral Momonga's cold snort came from the Den Den Mushi again.
"Watch my words?"
Ignis Glow threw his Navy jacket on the ground.
Witnessing the town destroyed in Buster Call that the North Blue couldn't possibly resist.
A cold glint appeared in Ignis Glow's eyes, eyes that had grown weary of the world's filth.
"I'm retired, I have nothing to do with the Navy, and I don't need to care about a coward's nonsense?"
The next moment.
Ignis Glow chose the second option without hesitation.
