# Chapter 141: Angry Garp
The terrible situation and Hades' actions made Kong's heart extremely uneasy.
Black's voice, like a splash of cold water, calmed Kong down and made him notice his loss of composure.
Black, who understood him, knew clearly that the burden on Kong's shoulders was too heavy, and the pressure he put on himself was too great.
"Cough cough!"
Kong coughed twice, gradually calming down, his gaze sweeping across the few high-level personnel in the entire Conference Room.
"We absolutely cannot let the Pluto Pirates continue like this. Find their whereabouts in the shortest possible time."
Kong said solemnly.
Immediately after, his gaze turned to Army General "The Storm Dragon".
"Be prepared. Once their whereabouts are found, you will immediately depart, delay the Pluto Pirates, and annihilate them with full force."
Army General "The Storm Dragon" nodded silently, not replying to Kong's words.
The war was still ongoing, and the conflict between the Army and Marines was becoming increasingly intense, far from the harmonious appearance on the surface.
They were merely forcibly forced together under the pressure of the Rocks Pirates.
Wearing different military uniforms, it was difficult for them to let go of their inner grudges and engage in close cooperation.
Some small matters on the battlefield, such as leaving comrades to die or fleeing with only one survivor.
.
.
Even without such intentions, their existing animosity would constantly breed misunderstandings, becoming the key to their accumulating conflicts.
Especially since the amount of military strength lost by the Army was several times that of the Marines.
Although for the World Government, they could recruit as many army soldiers as they wanted, and the vast majority of losses were cannon fodder.
But the Army itself did not have many elites, and the losses over these past two years had severely weakened the Army's high-end combat power.
At the same time, the military budget given by the World Government to the Army had further decreased instead, invested in the Marines and invested in the war.
Only at this time could it be proven that the Marines were the World Government's favored son, the eldest son capable of bearing the heavy responsibility.
On the surface, the Army appeared closer, but was merely the relatively favored younger son.
This had caused some imbalance within the Army, including the Army Generals.
In the early stages of the war, both sides could still sincerely cooperate under the pressure of the Rocks Pirates.
But now, the distribution of factions was very clear; the Army and Marines always act separately.
Army General "The Storm Dragon" respected Kong's strength, but that didn't mean he had to obey Kong's orders.
In terms of status, as an Army General, he was equal to Kong.
"The Storm Dragon" was a noble from the Red Line, a prominent family from the Holy Land, subordinate to the World Noble.
Someone within his family was an official of the World Government, possessing extraordinary influence.
Becoming an Army General, besides family support, he also put in considerable effort.
In fact, most high-level Army personnel have various extraordinary backgrounds.
Without support, on the Red Line, where the level of training is far lower than that of the Marines, it is difficult for ordinary residents to rise through the ranks.
Within the Army, in a sense, the paths to advancement have been monopolized by large families.
Ordinary residents find it difficult to cross class barriers, often requiring the efforts of several generations, or exhibit astonishing potential and be noticed by those above.
Even though his strength was weaker than Kong's, "The Storm Dragon"'s heart remained arrogant, looking down on Kong, looking down on the Marines, and even looking down on Fleet Admiral Black.
The relationship between status and strength has never been equal.
Those who are unarmed, Celestial Dragons who can only be considered ordinary people, all possess the authority to command Marine Admiral.
No matter how strong a CP0 Agent's strength is, they are ultimately just a dog.
The most important thing was that he knew Celestial Dragons and served Celestial Dragons.
In the Conference Room, the positions of the Army and Marines were clearly demarcated.
The CP0 Agent, who seemingly maintained a neutral stance, was secretly closer to the Army.
"The Storm Dragon"'s silent reply made the atmosphere of the meeting somewhat awkward, like a slap across Kong's face.
The expressions of many high-level Marine personnel were somewhat unpleasant.
In contrast, high-level Army personnel were confronting them.
This was like a barrel of explosives, ready to explode at any moment.
Kong's heart felt somewhat angry, forcibly suppressing it.
He felt even more weary.
He understood that at this time, the Allied Forces cannot be in chaos internally.
The overall situation needs to be stable.
He would not allow it, nor would the World Government.
The Army's strength is very important to them.
Once they lose the Army, they truly will not have the ability to resist the Rocks Pirates.
Fortunately, "The Storm Dragon" still implicitly agreed.
Regardless, the Five Elders require the Army to be led by the Marines.
A young Marine saw this scene and couldn't hold back.
Garp, who regarded "Steel Bone" Kong as his elder brother, seeing his elder brother suffer such an insult and be ignored in front of so many people.
.
.
How could he endure it?
The young Garp was definitely a troublemaker, acting as he pleased, and would not hide himself at all.
Unrestrainedly erupting with a fierce aura, Haki burning like fire, forging his iron fist.
His body moved slightly, and he vanished from his spot, heading straight for Army General "The Storm Dragon".
Tsuru, who knew Garp well, and some young Navy Officer had no time to stop him.
Garp's explosive power was too strong, and his strength had pulled far ahead of theirs, creating a gap.
Due to being protected by Kong and chasing the somewhat famous Roger Pirates, even though Garp's strength was very strong, he ultimately had few battle achievements.
Time makes people forget many things.
Garp's prestige was gradually surpassed by Sengoku and others during the war.
Until the sacrifice of "White Rat" and "Purple Lion".
At the crucial moment when the Allied Forces desperately needed powerful combat power, Kong finally summoned Garp to supplement the combat power.
At this time, Garp truly began to make a name for himself in the world, showcase his terrifying strength, astonishing everyone.
"Golden Lion" Shiki, "Pluto" Hades, Edward Newgate.
.
.
Facing these pirates with terrifying strength, Garp held his own.
"Stop!"
Kong's loud roar made time seem to stand still.
A shadow had already appeared behind "The Storm Dragon", an iron fist stopped a few millimeters from "The Storm Dragon"'s right cheek.
Despite this, it still kicked up a strong gust of wind.
"Garp, what do you think you're doing?! Immediately, now, get out!"
Kong's expression was grim.
He could disregard "The Storm Dragon"'s disrespect, but Garp absolutely could not attack a colleague, no matter what.
The negative impact this would cause would be uncontrollable; the reaction would lead to the Allied Forces' collapse.
Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back.
For the sake of the war, for the sake of the overall situation, everything can be endured!
"Hmph!"
Garp's fist was trembling.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly withdrew it.
Turning around, he strode towards the outside of the Conference Room.
