The Navy once again held an emergency meeting at the Naval Station in Area 60 of the Chambord Islands, the closest island to Marinefando.
Don't rush!
Because, Navy Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Akainu, Kuzan and Sakaski, the two popular candidates for Navy Marshal, were killed by a big pirate when they launched a duel related to the Marshal War on Punk Hassad Island in the New World. The naughty Anne Hastur intervened and defeated them both. They are currently out of contact. No one knows whether they are dead or missing temporarily or permanently.
In short, things were so bad that the Navy Headquarters, which was originally preparing for a power transition, was caught off guard, so such an emergency meeting was held.
Today, in addition to the ugly-faced Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Sora, the dark-faced Navy Marshal Sengoku (temporary), and the gloating Admiral Kizaru, there are also the worried-looking Lieutenant General and Chief of General Staff Tsuru, Flying Squirrel, who had recovered from unknown reasons, and other major navy lieutenants and commodores who could come, all attended the meeting.
Of course, there is basically no use in attending. After all, they already knew what happened before they came, and whether it was the troublesome person who caused the problem or the problem caused by the troublesome person, they had nothing to do with it. Good solution.
So, at this moment, they could do nothing but smoke, drink tea and sit in their seats and stare.
"Comrades in the Navy!"
"Presumably, you have also heard about the fact that Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Akainu were attacked on Punk Hassad Island a week ago and their whereabouts and life and death are still unknown, right?"
"Then I won't go into details..."
The commander-in-chief of the three armed forces who was sitting at the end of the long conference table took the time to come to participate in the meeting. He flipped through the documents in annoyance and then pushed them aside.
"I came here today just to announce something!"
After saying that, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, who had an ugly face and was still bored, sat up slightly. He first glanced at the senior naval generals present and saw that everyone began to pay attention to himself. Then he continued:
"Yes……"
"It's about the appointment and dismissal of the marshal of the Navy Headquarters!"
"..."
"After research and decision by the Military Headquarters, in view of the disappearance of Admirals Aokiji and Akainu and the wishes of the current Navy Marshal Sengoku, I am now announcing it!"
Kong, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, read loudly.
"!!"
"!!"
"!!"
At the same time, the naval generals present, except for Sengoku who was sitting across the long conference table and didn't know what he was thinking, the generals, lieutenant generals and commodores all stood up from their positions at attention.
"Marshal of the Navy Headquarters will be officially replaced by Admiral Kizaru!"
"but……"
"This is just a temporary announcement and excessive power, and the formal appointment and handover time, including the appointment ceremony, etc., are not expected to be made until one or two months at the earliest before specific arrangements can be made."
After taking a look at General Kizaru, who even though he was standing, he still felt that he was a bit careless and unworthy of his responsibilities, Commander-in-Chief Kong couldn't help but sigh and said this.
Now, he has finally brought an end to the battle for the position of Navy Marshal. Even if Aokiji and Akainu are found or return later, there will be no chance to change the position of Navy Marshal.
But there is no way. Sengoku's abdication is inevitable and cannot be delayed any longer. After all, the Battle of Marinefando always requires an explanation to the World Government, and Sengoku's dishonorable abdication is the best explanation!
Therefore, the vacant naval marshal naturally has to be filled by an admiral, and the popular admiral Aokiji originally recommended by the Warring States Period and the admiral Akainu who has a higher support rate among the top brass of the World Government are the two best choices. , but something happened to those two people again at this critical moment, so there was no other way. In the end, Kizaru, who was left by luck, became the only choice at present.
There is nothing we can do about this. After all, there is really no available talent in the navy now, and it is impossible to directly parachute a marshal from the army who does not know about naval warfare, so we can only do this first. Is it possible to let them To choose the stronger old bastard Garp as the marshal?
Although the old guy is indeed very suitable, both in terms of strength and prestige, he is the best choice, but the other party's son is the leader of the rebels, and his two grandsons are pirates, and they are all related to the big pirate kid Anne Hastur. The relationship is complicated. If that old bastard is really allowed to be the marshal, the World Government may simply declare surrender and disband.
"Sit down..."
After thinking about it, he saw that the naval generals present seemed to have foreseen his announcement and no one raised any objections. After looking at Seng Guo across the long conference table, Commander-in-Chief Sora raised his hand to indicate that everyone could sit down. .
"..."
Hearing this, Kizaru, of course, sat back down in his seat with an expressionless expression, and continued to play with the steaming cup of tea in front of him in deep thought.
He had already been informed of the appointment of Commander-in-Chief Kong Gang before the meeting, so he was not too surprised now.
Previously, he was knocked away by the naughty child's light and fell to the far east. He recovered from his injuries on that mysterious island for a while. He had to come back until he was almost healed and had no money to spend.
During that period of recuperation, he read a lot of ancient texts on the island, and saw a philosophical saying in one of the books: If you don't fight with your husband, no one in the world can fight with him!
Isn't that what it is now?
He, Kizaru, was not selected at that time, and everyone looked down upon him and even ridiculed him, so he simply stopped fighting with those two guys.
But the result...
But because of his indifference, he became the final winner. If he had also gone to Punk Hassad Island to join in the fun, he would have been beaten for the third time by that terrible naughty kid now. Bar?
"..."
Sure enough, children nowadays are becoming more and more scary, and Kizaru will have to stay away from him in the future.
"Ahem!"
"General Kizaru?!"
At this time, before Kizaru could continue to fantasize, the Warring States Marshal who had been silent before spoke and knocked on the table to interrupt Kizaru's contemplation. When he looked up, he discovered that at some point, the General of the Armed Forces had Shuai has withdrawn, and Warring States is now presiding over the meeting.
"ah!"
"how?"
Kizaru was a little confused. He didn't know why Sengoku asked his name.
"I was just asking..."
"Have you thought about how to deal with that big pirate brat?"
Warring States was slightly dissatisfied. After all, he was still sitting in the position of marshal. It would take three or two months to complete the process. And now, Kizaru had not officially taken office, but he no longer paid much attention to him. You're here, you just kept ignoring his questions?
"What a naughty kid?"
"It's so scary..."
Shaking his head, Kizaru said that of course he hadn't thought about it well, and he didn't want to think about that worrying problem.
"??"
Kizaru's words made Sengoku a little dissatisfied.
After all, the other party had just been announced by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces as the upcoming Navy Marshal. Now it was time to say some words to boost the morale, but the result was not good. The other party didn't even want to say anything to the enemy, and just became the enemy. Ruhu, is that what a marshal who is about to take office should say?
"All right……"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, and seeing those colleagues staring at him with inexplicable eyes, Kizaru had no choice but to push the table, lie down deeply on his chair, and leisurely He opened his mouth and said:
"Everyone, do you know?"
"exist……"
“During the time when I was beaten away and when I was recuperating on that island in the East China Sea, I read a lot of books, and among them, in a very interesting book, it was written like this... "
"She lets him be strong, the breeze blows on the hills, she lets him be unruly, the bright moon shines on the river..."
Kizaru spoke leisurely, then looked up and found that his colleagues around him didn't seem to understand. He wasn't annoyed, so he continued talking.
"I still remember……"
"There is also a Buddhist scripture that says this, and I think it makes sense."
"That naughty kid, so what if she slanders me, bullies me, humiliates me, laughs at me, belittles me, despises me, hates me, lies to me? Just tolerate her, let her, let her go, avoid her, be patient with her, respect her She, ignore her, stay for a few more years and just watch her?"
"I think it's good to just follow what the book says. You can't beat me anyway, so why not just do this for now?"
Regardless of the fact that his words and deeds were not suitable for the upcoming position of marshal, Kizaru still said it without any problem.
As for whether it would affect morale or make others have a bad impression, Kizaru no longer wanted to worry about it.
Anyway, there are not many people in the Navy and the World Government who support him as marshal. He is just a spare tire. Besides, he doesn't have to be the marshal. Besides, it is a difficult time for the Navy now. Since those guys insist on taking the position, General Kizaru pushed him into the fire pit, so you can't blame him for doing whatever he wants.
"..."
"W-what do you mean?"
Seeing that the others had similar expressions to his own, Zeng Guo first frowned, thought about it, and then asked tentatively.
"It's nothing."
"Marshal, since we can't fight him now, and we can't fight him, we might as well avoid his edge for the time being, what do you think?"
Kizaru didn't say much, just asked with a smile.
"!!"
"you mean……"
"Our navy will recuperate its strength first and let the naughty child struggle with others in the new world. Then, after two years, we will take advantage of the opportunity after our navy recovers?"
As he spoke, Sengoku, who thought he understood Kizaru's thoughts, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and cast a rare glance at the careless guy.
"……."
"I did not say anything."
Pouting his lips, Kizaru picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a careful sip.
If possible, Kizaru actually wanted to say that he was just looking for an excuse to passively strike, and there were so many people there?
Besides, it's so dangerous to go to trouble with naughty children. If you have time, wouldn't you be able to hide in the base, drink tea, chat and receive your salary and meals?
After all, the things that the Celestial Dragons and the World Government have done in recent years are indeed a bit outrageous. He, Admiral Kizaru, only stays in the navy for that job. Does he have to risk his life?
"Well……"
"Since you, General Kizaru, have your own arrangements, I, an old man who is about to retire, will not ask any more questions."
Nodding, Sengoku, who glanced at Kizaru, thought about what Commander-in-Chief Sora told him before, and after thinking that the other party's arrangements and expectations for the navy were somewhat consistent with what Kizaru just said, he felt relieved. He ignored the topic just now.
"Dear colleagues!"
"In addition to arrangements for the position of Admiral, there is an urgent matter to be announced here."
The most important thing is undoubtedly the issue of the appointment and dismissal of the new marshal by the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. However, that matter has just been announced, and Warring States certainly does not want to continue to say more now.
"..."
"In view of the increasingly serious threats from land rebels and pirates around the world, especially the threat from big pirates such as naughty children, the World Government has decided after research: Starting next month, a world recruitment campaign will be held!"
"And the purpose..."
"It is to select powerful ability users or warriors and other available talents from all over the world to make up for the vacancies in the navy that were lost after the Battle of Marinevando and to develop and strengthen the navy!"
"Since Kizaru is going to be promoted to marshal, you should take the lead in this matter!"
After speaking and seeing that everyone present understood, Sengoku thought for a while and handed the document to Kizaru.
The Navy lost nearly 100,000 general-level officers in the Battle of Malinfando. Therefore, this world-class recruitment and the upcoming large number of promoted officers are an excellent opportunity for generals at all levels to install cronies and control key units of the Navy. !
And now, since Kizaru is about to take over his position as Navy Marshal, in order for the other party to better perform his duties and control the troops in the future, the Warring States Period has to hand over this job to the other party. After all, he is about to abdicate. There are certain things that he can no longer do, and others are not suitable to do them.
"oh!"
"The world is recruiting troops, but what's the use?"
With a flat mouth, Kizaru was a little disapproving and didn't take the good job given to him by Warring States seriously.
"!!"
However, just as Kizaru finished speaking, he received a very stern look from Sengoku.
"Alright alright!"
"I see."
"Isn't it just a conscription? Don't worry, I will work hard to get it done."
Although he said so, it is not difficult to guess from Kizaru's noncommittal expression that it is probably difficult for him to do it with his heart.
"I really have a headache..."
To be honest, if given the choice, Kizaru would not want to be a navy marshal at all.
After all, everyone now knows that the navy is getting worse and worse. If nothing else, the new naughty kid who has just emerged can make their navy miserable, and even force the Warring States Marshal to resign. , the two generals Aokiji and Akainu were defeated miserably for the second time, and there is still no one left, and it is not known whether they are dead or not.
Therefore, even if it were Kizaru himself who took the position of marshal, it would probably be of little use. Whatever the situation is now, it will definitely be the same situation in the future. Anyway, he has nothing to do, so be it.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Looking at the document in front of Kizaru, the navy generals present were jealous but did not express any opinions. After all, one was the current marshal and the other was the future marshal. There was no room for them to speak now.
