"You have done a good job. I will arrange for people to come over and transport the arms immediately. You will guard Kola Island for a few more days. When the headquarters fleet arrives, you can go to sea again."
"Yes, Warring States General."
"Okay, let's do this first."
Snapped--
Warring States hung up the red phone bug in his hand, couldn't stop the smile on his face, and walked into the Marshal's office with a smile on his face.
"Warring States, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy when something happens?"
Marshal Kong raised his head when he saw Warring States coming in, and asked doubtfully.
"Haha, good thing. A batch of standard arms materials capable of arming more than 100,000 people were intercepted on Korra Island. They were produced by the World Government. I will arrange for personnel to go there to receive them."
"One hundred thousand people? Where do you get so many arms?"
Even Navy Marshal Kong was surprised when he heard such a large amount of arms and supplies. You must know that there are only a few hundred thousand people in the Navy at the Navy Headquarters.
Obtaining so much arms at once can directly increase the armed strength of the headquarters.
As a navy, being able to fight pirates everywhere in this world cannot only rely on a limited number of elite generals, but a large number of naval soldiers are an important factor in the strength of the navy.
"This batch of arms should have been smuggled by underground rats. Currently, the main person doing arms trading in the underground world is a guy named Black King. This amount is probably what this guy is capable of."
As the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku had much more information than Nishizawa, and he quickly found out which target it was based on the data in the Navy's internal system.
"Warring States, since there is no batch number mark, hurry up and arrange for personnel to transport the supplies back quickly, and distribute them directly after returning. If anyone comes over there, treat them as if they don't know the news."
"I have already ordered you to go down. Only the navy is qualified to eat this batch of supplies."
Warring States and Marshal Kong had a tacit understanding not to mention the situation with the World Government. They knew very well that the source of this batch of arms must be related to the World Government, and only high-level officials were able to smuggle the materials to the Black King.
But without concrete evidence, they can do nothing. The most they can do is target the Black King.
Among the departments under the World Government, although the Navy is also a department directly under it, since the continuous expansion and rise of the Navy's strength, many people within the Navy believe that the Navy is an independent system, rather than a department like CP that is completely controlled and commanded by the World Government.
At present, this trend has grown within the Navy, and the World Government has observed this trend in the Navy.
What happened to General Zefa is most likely a warning from the World Government to the Navy, telling them that the Navy will always be just a subordinate and not qualified to play an equal role.
It is indeed true that all the current sources of funding for the Navy are provided by the World Government. If the World Government cuts off the funding chain, the Navy will most likely be disbanded due to lack of logistical support.
And the World Government, which has the world's largest source of funds, can organize a new, more obedient navy at any time.
For these reasons, regardless of whether Marshal Kong and Sengoku are willing or not, they can only obey the instructions and arrangements of the World Government, at least they cannot openly disobey the instructions of the World Government.
"Okay, let's arrange the arms incident this way. Do you have anything else to add?"
Marshal Kong didn't want to continue the conversation, so he looked at Seng Guo and asked as if he still had something to do.
"This time there is also the promotion of Lukar's military rank. On Korra Island, Colonel Lukar defeated nearly a thousand pirates with one against a thousand. There are also three well-known big pirates with a bounty of over 100 million. Please give me the specific information, Marshal Kong. Let’s take a look.”
Warring States took out the battle report file information and submitted it to Marshal Kong. He found a sofa and sat down, quietly waiting for Marshal Kong to finish reading the battle report.
"good!!"
Marshal Kong patted the desk and praised excitedly.
"Warring States, this kid can do it. It has only been a while, but he already has this strength. Even the lieutenant general of our headquarters may not have this kid's level."
"Yes, it seems that Colonel Lukar is performing the best so far."
Warring States echoed Marshal Kong's view. Since the graduation of these three best monster-level recruits, the whole navy has been watching the development of the three.
Sakaski arranged to patrol the Grand Line. His extreme justice attracted many navies with the same righteous outlook to join, and they recognized Sakaski's extremely radical ideas.
For Warring States, he was not able to accept Sakaski's view of justice and felt it was too radical. He would rather have it be a little more moderate.
Porusalino, on the other side, has been recruited by the World Government since graduation. He is said to be performing the highest-level mission, so important that even the Sengoku General only knows part of it.
Thinking about it this way, Lukar's side was relatively satisfactory to the Warring States Period. They captured a large amount of supplies for the navy and successfully killed a powerful pirate army.
"The main reason is that Lukar has graduated too soon, and he has not been promoted to colonel for long. It is more appropriate for me to be promoted to brigadier general this time as a transition to the general level."
After Marshal Kong thought for a long time, he considered all factors before giving an answer.
"Brigadier general? Isn't it too low? With this meritorious service, there is no problem for Lukar to be promoted to major general. Marshal, can he be promoted higher?"
Sengoku was not very satisfied with the rank of commodore. He felt that it was unfair for Lukar to only be promoted to one level, and other navies would also find it inappropriate.
"well--"
Marshal Kong sighed helplessly.
"How could I not know what you are saying? As a marshal, you not only have to consider the internal situation of the navy, but also the world government."
"Lukar's achievements this time are great, but he has also offended many people in the World Government. If he submits an application for major general level, it will most likely be rejected. If he is a brigadier general, they will have no reason to refuse."
After hearing Marshal Kong's explanation, Warring States could understand somewhat. As expected of a marshal, he considered the content in more detail than himself.
"Well, then we can only feel wronged by Lukar first. When he is promoted next time, there will be no good reason for him."
"It's best that you understand, Sengoku. In addition, let's arrange for Admiral Lukar's record to be released in the news. This is a rare opportunity to promote the strength of the navy."
Marshal Kong quickly issued new instructions to Warring States.
"yes!"
…
"Lucar, I will help you report all the information to the headquarters."
"Thanks, Caesar, when will we set off?"
At the castle in the center of Kola Island, Lukar carried a mountain-sized stone on his back for weight-bearing training.
"It will probably be a lot later. We have to wait for the headquarters to transport the military supplies before we can set off."
"Well, then I will train here these days."
"Okay, then I'll go back and keep an eye on the headquarters' movements. I expect you will be promoted here soon."
"good."
Lukar knew his shortcomings and worked out as soon as he recovered from his injury.
After this battle, he knew very clearly that his armed haki was still slightly weaker than the strong men on the sea, and armed haki was the best way to fight against the fruit's ability.
He knew that he would encounter all kinds of strange fruit ability users in the future, and only powerful armed color domineering could resist the opponent's abilities.
