This is an examination.
Sengoku wanted to use it to evaluate Akihara Kagura's character.
It was obvious.
The Navy Admiral received a satisfactory answer.
"Compared to a tiny bit of trust..."
"For Admiral Sengoku, the lives of his two old comrades are also very important, right? Why have unnecessary casualties when they can be avoided?"
"..."
Sengoku the Buddha nodded in satisfaction.
This undercover agent planted by the Konoha Pirates within the Navy, who might be the backbone of the Navy in the future, shared the same camp as Sengoku, and they had the same secret...
Moreover...
This young man was very smart.
If the plan in Alabasta, as the red-haired youth of the Konoha Pirates said, using the Golden Underground Palace from 800 years ago to recruit and draw in high-ranking naval officers was indeed designed by him, it proves that this young man is truly talented.
To accomplish great things...
What is the most important?
Of course, it's talent.
"I'll call the Five Elders."
Sengoku reached out to pull out the Radio Snail he used to contact the Five Elders.
"Wait a moment..."
"There's one more small issue..."
Akihara Kagura stopped Sengoku's actions and posed a question: "To prevent the Five Elders from discovering the truth of history and becoming furious, destroying Alabasta and causing indiscriminate slaughter, perhaps we can use something mentioned on the golden inscription..."
"Hmm?"
Sengoku indeed had that concern.
"The Konoha Pirates told me the detailed content of the inscription, which mentions that the Sand-Sand Fruit is the key to opening the Golden Underground Palace..."
"In that case..."
Akihara Kagura spread his hands, presenting his plan: "Perhaps 800 years ago, the one responsible for building and burying the Golden Underground Palace in the Alabasta desert was a Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit user, since only a Sand-Sand Fruit user could accomplish such a task..."
"If the Five Elders do become enraged, it's best to pin the Golden Underground Palace issue on the current Logia-type Fruit user, Crocodile, claiming that Crocodile wants to overthrow the World Government and fabricate the blank century history, which would also give an explanation to the World Government, since the World Government itself wouldn't possibly admit the historical truth within it..."
"Coincidentally..."
"Based on the evidence found by the Navy, Crocodile has admitted he wants to find the location of Pluto, one of the three great weapons, from the Poneglyph, and has secretly sought to overthrow Alabasta. In the future, he surely intends to begin from the Desert Kingdom of Alabasta to surpass the World Government; he's a very ambitious pirate, so even if we frame him, we don't have to worry about harming the innocent..."
"..."
Sengoku nodded even more contentedly, continuing to ask: "However, won't the global populace think that the blank century is just a history fabricated by Crocodile and thus oppose the World Government's rule?"
"The World Government won't be able to produce more convincing evidence..."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, calmly stating: "Once a piece of paper is stained with ink, it can never be pure again... Unless the World Government is able to completely eliminate the sealed Goddess of Rabbit at Laugh Tale and recreate new history... No matter what, they cannot restore the past history to a complete blank..."
"..."
Sengoku felt the aging of his own thinking.
If this young man were not an undercover agent from the Konoha Pirates, Sengoku might consider involving him in the future of rebuilding the world order, hoping he would represent the Navy in that grand plan...
