Chapter 644 The Warring States Period’s Decision
The call was connected, and Zhan Guo's voice was immediately heard from the other end.
Thor was no stranger to this voice, and combined with the appearance of the Den Den Mushi, he quickly recognized who was on the other end.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a grateful tone: "Hello, is this Marshal Zhan Guo? I am Thor, and I would like to thank the Navy for training us."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then an angry voice said, "Thor, where's Kuzan?"
Thor held the Den Den Mushi away and said dissatisfiedly, "Marshal Sengoku, don't be so excited. General Kuzan is very lucky and will not die."
"Should? Where on earth did Kuzan go?"
"It's difficult for you to ask me this. I also want to know where Admiral Kuzan went, but I am very understanding and will definitely help you find him." Thor said enthusiastically.
There was silence on the other end of the phone again. After a long time, Zhan Guo's voice came from the other end of the phone again.
"I won't bother you any more."
After saying that, Zhan Guo hung up the phone directly.
Thor hung up the phone in boredom and shook his head. How polite!

Almost at the same time, Borsalino in the Kingdom of Karen and Kake in the Kingdom of Valhalla withdrew their troops.
Adrian's army did not pursue. Their mission was to take the North Sea. Now that the navy had retreated, their mission was accomplished.
Beihai has just been unified and the situation is still in chaos, so they still need to govern it.
As night fell, the naval forces and the mixed coalition withdrew from the North Sea, and the North Sea completely changed hands.
Big News: The World Government Collapses! North Sea Changes Owner!
The World's Strongest Kingdom, the Kingdom of Adrian!
《A shocking explosion caused heavy losses to the mixed coalition forces!》
Admiral Aokiji fell into the sea, his life or death unknown!
The news reports described the battle vividly, making people feel as if they were there.
Especially the photos taken by war correspondents, which completely shocked everyone.
Compared with this Battle of the North Sea, the Battle of Marineford seems like a joke. After all, the number difference is more than ten times!
During the Battle of Marineford, there were 100,000 navy personnel, more than 5,000 Whitebeard Pirates, and the warriors of Wano Country plus the Minks only had more than 2,000 people. The total number of people on the battlefield was less than 110,000.
But this war is different. The number of people in any of the four war zones crushes that in the Battle of Marineford.
Especially on Henglian Island, the mixed coalition forces had more than one million people, and the Adrian Kingdom had 320,000 people, totaling a total of 1.32 million people.
Among all the pictures, the one that best reflects the large number of people is the close-up of the battlefield that is comparable to a ukiyo-e of hell.
That is truly hell on earth.

New Navy Headquarters.
In the Marshal's office, Zhan Guo sat in a chair with a tired look on his face. His afro had turned snow-white, just the same.
Karp sat in the chair on the left, his fingers crossed, his face very heavy.
Borsalino was casual as always, with his legs crossed, but this time he hadn't trimmed his nails.
Sakaski sat upright in a chair, half bent over, his face serious, like a volcano about to erupt.
Kaji put his hands on his knees, carefully observing the expressions of the bosses, not daring to speak.
"Zhan Guo, Kuzan hasn't been found yet? Do you need me to go look for him myself?" Karp suddenly said
Kuzan was his disciple, so it was impossible for him to just stand by and watch him die.
"Don't worry, Kuzan will be fine. The navy is in a panic right now, and you, a naval hero, can't leave."
Garp nodded, he knew that he couldn't leave now, but it was just to make Sengoku intensify the search for Kuzan.
The conference room fell silent again. After a long time, Zhan Guo spoke again.
"This war was lost completely. Someone must take responsibility."
His eyes fell on Sakaski and Borsalino, and he continued, "I intend to abdicate."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Zhan Guo, we can't blame you entirely for this failure. The strength of the Kingdom of Adrian is beyond our imagination.
Moreover, this defeat is related to the betrayal of Doflamingo and Hancock. These people are all Shichibukai and are members of the World Government. If you ask me, the World Government bears the greatest responsibility for this defeat!"
Kake: “I think so too.”
"Pirates are pirates. Even if they become Shichibukai, it cannot change the fact that they are pirates. These scum should have been killed long ago, otherwise there wouldn't be so many problems," Sakaski shouted angrily.
Kaji: “That’s right!”
"Marshal Zhan Guo, you are now the backbone of our landlord, and you must not abdicate at this time." Borsalino said.
Kaji: “Yes!”
Zhan Guo waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind. I will abdicate once these matters are settled. You can go back first."
Seeing this, everyone didn't know what to say.
As the commander-in-chief of this war, Zhan Guo must take responsibility even if the defeat has little to do with him.
Abdication was the last resort he could think of.
Besides, the navy is now lifeless, and it is not good for an old man like him to occupy the position. What the navy needs now is fresh blood and vitality.
The Five Elders quickly agreed to Zhan Guo's resignation request.
This happened because there was a crisis of trust between the two parties.
Of course, this was partly because of Li Qi's instigation, but more importantly, it was because of Zel.
Back then, the hunter game in the Kingdom of Adrian was guarded by people led by Zhan Guo, and under normal circumstances, it was impossible for anyone to survive.
But unfortunately, an accident happened to Zhan Guo that time, and it was a shocking change like Zefa, which made it difficult for the Five Elders not to doubt Zhan Guo.
Moreover, they felt that their control over the navy had declined recently and urgently needed to introduce a new marshal to strengthen their rule.
In addition, someone must take the blame for this defeat, and Zhan Guo is the best candidate.
In addition to replacing the candidate for the Navy Marshal, the Five Elders also made an important decision, which was to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea system.
There is no way. Doflamingo and Hancock's backstabbing made them like a joke. The Seven Warlords of the Sea system seemed to exist for people to plant undercover agents.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea system had already been criticized for its legal right of plunder, and this betrayal made the World Government a laughing stock. If nothing was done, its reputation would be completely ruined.

Not only is the navy searching for the missing Kuzan, the Kingdom of Adrian is also making efforts.
After all, he is a senior general-level warrior, and the threat is still great.
Of course, the goal of the Kingdom of Adrian is not just to capture Kuzan, but more to incite him to rebel. After all, it has just received a large number of naval soldiers, and it will take a lot of time to digest them normally.
