Chapter 254
Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.
"You little brat! Didn't I ask you to find pure gold? Why did you catch two pirates?"
Warring States slapped the newspaper he just got on the desk, and the whole office seemed to shake for a moment.
For him, Atlas got solid gold and was promoted to fourth admiral in the navy.
Improving the navy's deterrence at sea is far more important than anything else.
After all, since Roger started the Age of Pirates, the quality of the navy's recruits has become worse and worse.
Aside from Atlas, he never saw another monster genius join the Navy.
Decades later, it seems that there is a sense of indolence.
Anyone with a bit of talent wants to go to sea and become a pirate! !
It can be said that Roger's last words are like a key, releasing and infinitely amplifying the worst parts of human nature.
After all, indulgence is far easier than restraint.
"Pure gold? I forgot."
Atlas sat across from him and replied expressionlessly.
"As for those two pirates, they happened to be encountered and captured."
"...What about your position as general?"
When Warring States heard this, veins popped up on his forehead, and he suppressed the urge to beat this guy.
"The five old stars have signed the document, and the seats of the three generals are no longer yours."
"It's okay, but your investiture ceremony may have to be postponed."
Atlas shrugged relaxedly, looking like he didn't deserve a beating.
"...That pirate under Whitebeard's command?!"
Warring States frowned suddenly.
To be honest, he is not willing to start a war with Whitebeard now.
As he is about to be promoted to marshal of the navy, the forces on the sea now maintain a delicate balance.
Navy, Three Emperors, Shichibukai.
Three legs.
The world government is like an emperor on the throne, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and will continue to act like this, maintaining temporary peace. .seven
"Yes, I believe you understand Whitebeard's character better than I do, right?"
Atlas knew that.
In the old days, just like the relationship between Garp and Roger, Warring States often chased Whitebeard around the world, and the two sides were both enemies and friends.
Naturally, I understand Whitebeard very well, compared to the so-called dreams and freedom.
Family and hometown are more important to Whitebeard.
"You stinky brat, you're just causing trouble for me."
…………
Mary Joya, Pangu City, among the powers.
The five old men gathered together again, standing with knives in their hands, or sitting close together with narrowed eyes. It seemed that they would always remain in this unchanging posture.
Dexter Saint, who had a black hat and white hair, was the first to break the silence: "Have the documents for the conferment of the rank of general been conveyed to the Navy?"
"The Warring States Period has received the news, and a collective award will be held in three months."
"The positions of the Navy's marshal and three generals have indeed been vacant for too long. The Navy has been suppressing them for long enough, and going too far is not enough."
Saint La Cruz, who had a shiny bald head and a thick beard on his chin, said in a deep voice.
"As for Bai Jian..."
As soon as the name came out, the other four fell silent.
I have very complicated emotions towards Bai Jian.
They have naturally investigated the opponent's background. From their ancestors to the present, they have ruled out the possibility of being [D], and naturally there is no threat to them.
Therefore, the five of them still have a certain degree of trust in Bai Jian, even if the other party has ridiculously powerful talents.
But according to Bai Jian's behavior, his loyalty to the World Government is obviously not very high.
Of course, the same goes for many senior generals in the navy, and Wulaoxing understands this very well.
Even Sakaski, who seems to be the most dedicated, is still less loyal to the World Government than the Navy and his justice.
Atlas's little flaws are nothing more than a small-sized Garp.
There is loss in small sections, but no loss in large sections.
So they are willing to give Atlas a chance, and they only need an attitude from the other party, regardless of whether the pure gold is brought back.
As a result, that guy actually put the importance of catching pirates before the mission assigned by the World Government! !
"We have already given him a chance. If he doesn't cherish it, he will no longer have the chance to become a general."
Saint Nazarov, holding the long knife, snorted coldly, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Atlas' behavior.
Each of the five old stars has a different personality. Among them, Saint Nazarov is a proper martial arts sect. It can be seen from the fact that he holds a demon sword that may be the first generation of ghosts all the year round. His acting style is natural. It's extremely tough.
"Yes, the general is the highest combat power of the navy, but strength is not the only reference standard, and..."
"Sakaski and the others are no worse than Bai Jian!!"
Dexter Saint nodded in agreement.
After all, the navy is just the appearance of the world government. It is a force that cannot be controlled by them.
"Then it's settled. I'll be ready to award him the honors in three months."
It has to be said that Wulaoxing's tactics are definitely at the top level in the pirate world. He has been seeking balance on the sea and has never given up on suppressing the navy.
After suppressing the navy for several years, the position of marshal was vacant, and only one of the three generals was in office. The apparent strength of the navy could be said to have declined to the extreme.
You know, this is the age of great pirates.
There are three emperors standing in the new world, there are heroes from all walks of life in the four seas, and the pirates of the Grand Line are even more eyeing.
But after careful calculation, it is ultimately a piece of loose sand and has no influence, even if it is the emperor of the sea in the new world.
Even the title of Emperor of the Sea was probably released by them under the instructions of Morgans. The purpose was to make the pirates continue to fight among themselves and compete for the emperor's throne.
While suppressing the navy, they also did not forget to seek new balancing forces.
The Shichibukai System was born.
When the candidates for the Shichibukai are almost ready, they will start to pick up the suppressed navy again. There will definitely be no shortage of voices in the navy who are grateful to them.
Later, Whitebeard II was made to become the Shichibukai like a wise man, and Zefa was forced out of the navy seemingly like a wise man. There was not a lot of intrigue in it.
At that time, Akainu and Aokiji were competing for one of them. The naval admirals included Kizaru, Fujitora, and Green Bull. Akainu was determined to drive directly into the new world. The strength of the navy truly reached an unprecedented peak, weakening the navy's power. It must be done.
Zefa is just a victim of political intrigue.
Since Zeffa, who has quietly dedicated his life to the navy for decades, can be sacrificed, so can Atlas.
"Bulu-Bulu——!!"
On the spacious desk, the originally silent phone suddenly rang, interrupting the conversation of several people.
Click——! !
After picking up the phone, the phone bug's appearance quickly changed to one wearing frog glasses and a mustache, and a deep voice slowly came out:
"Hello? I'm Sengoku."
ps. In fact, Oda said that he is not very good at depicting politics. I tried to explain something from another relatively realistic perspective. I don’t know if it is right, just to make you laugh.
