The most courageous pirate hunter

Thirteen days have passed since the end of the Marineford War. As expected, the navy's defeat caused the collapse of the seas, and uprisings broke out in almost every region under its control, even across the four seas.

The situation is even worse for the member states around the world.

As time went on, the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the navy, and action had to be taken.

Therefore, the Navy held a major meeting today.

"Everyone, sit down!"

The makeshift meeting room was now full of people.

They are all the core forces of the navy.

For example, the three generals, Gion, Chaton, Onigumo, Momonga and other vice admirals, as well as Garp, Zephyr, Tsuru and so on. Originally, Sengoku should have been sitting in the main seat, but today it has been replaced by Sora.

That's right.

This meeting will be chaired by Kong himself.

"I believe everyone is quite aware of the current situation at sea. Our navy is in a very bad situation, not only facing naval hunters, but also guarding against rebellions under our rule."

Therefore, after discussion among the Five Elders, it was decided that the Navy would undergo a complete overhaul, and the selection of the Fleet Admiral was also decided.

Empty words.

People in the conference room kept glancing at Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan. In fact, many people within the Navy had been discussing this for days.

The Warring States period is over.

The most important task at present is to select a naval admiral.

No one else was qualified for this position except the three generals.

Otherwise, it would be an airborne deployment. But if it were an airborne deployment, the person would have to be an airborne commander, but the airborne commander is already the commander-in-chief of the entire army, so it is impossible for him to be demoted to the position of naval admiral.

As for other people being parachuted in, they certainly wouldn't be able to win over the public, and might even worsen the Navy's already dire situation.

"After several days of discussion, the Five Elders decided to appoint Sakazuki as the Fleet Admiral."

The meeting started with a bombshell.

Facing a sea of ​​calm gazes, Kong opened the appointment letter in front of him and announced the Five Elders' decision.

At that moment, you could hear a pin drop in the conference room.

Some people frowned, some looked grim, and some had an "I knew it" expression.

In the original work.

Sengoku did recommend Kuzan, but Sengoku had already died in battle, and the Five Elders wanted the Navy to change its style. In addition, there was Sakazuki's personality, his consistent hatred of evil, and his performance in the Marineford War.

Of the three, I still prefer Sakazuki.

The Navy's current situation is far too different from that in the original work. Maintaining the original style would only prolong its existence. The only way out is to go all out and fight to the death.

So no matter how you look at it, Sakazuki is the most suitable.

"Faced with an era that has gone mad, the navy's continued inaction will inevitably lead to its abandonment by this era. Facts have proven that only blood and fire can restrain all evil."

Kong looked serious.

His tone was full of murderous intent.

"Isn't this decision too hasty?"

Crane broke the somewhat oppressive atmosphere of the meeting room with his voice, glancing at Borsalino and Kuzan in turn.

"Borsalino, Kuzan, what are your thoughts?"

Kong indicated that both of them could offer their opinions. If the two of them were competitive, then let the three of them fight. They should definitely be given the opportunity, otherwise it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the two of them.

The navy urgently needs a strong force and absolutely cannot afford to lose the deterrent power of an admiral.

"I am not interested in a naval admiral."

Borsalino shrugged. He didn't want to sit in an office year after year, working himself to the bone like Sengoku, living a monotonous life.

There's no meaning to living anymore.

Moreover, he's more likely to be targeted, and with so many troublemakers under his command, he doesn't want to have a headache every day.

"Where is Kuzan?"

Borsalino's decision was not surprising at all; not only was it empty, but everyone present had already guessed it.

For a while.

All eyes were on Kuzan.

Kuzan was conflicted. In the past, he would have wanted to change the Navy, so he still had the desire. But he didn't know when it started, he had become less and less interested in this position.

Perhaps the Navy was led too far astray by the Hunter King, and its trajectory has become unrecognizable.

All the naval personnel present understood why the Five Elders had chosen Sakazuki. The naval forces in the past had been too timid and lacked sufficient toughness and iron will, which caused them to lose the initiative when facing problems.

Kuzan and the Warring States period are too similar.

If Kuzan becomes admiral, the navy's operating style may not change much; it would be a case of changing the name but not the substance. Since the determination to reform has been made, then a do-or-die approach is necessary.

Sakazuki is undoubtedly the most suitable.

In fact, Kuzan was well aware that he was not suitable to be the Fleet Admiral at this time, as evidenced by the decisions made by the Five Elders and Kong, as well as within the Navy itself.

If it were an election, he certainly wouldn't have received as much support as Sakassky.

This is an inevitable trend.

Various factors contributed to Sakazuki's rise to the rank of Marshal.

"I have no objection either."

Kuzan remained silent for a moment, showing no intention of competing with Sakazuki, nor of leaving the Navy.

this moment.

Some things have changed, while others haven't.

And all of this was caused by one person.

"Where is Sakazuki?"

Seeing that Borsalino and Kuzan had no objections, Kong Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that something unexpected might happen, and the current navy could not withstand any more turmoil.

Then he turned his gaze to Sakazuki.

At this point, it would be a lie for Sakazuki to say he was unhappy; he just didn't show it, so he still had that expressionless face, giving people the feeling that he was not someone to mess with.

"I will restore the Navy to its former glory, and all evil will be eradicated."

Sakazuki was resolute.

He will also surpass any admiral in the history of the Navy.

"Then the inauguration ceremony will be held tomorrow."

"In addition, there is global conscription and the addition of a general."

As soon as the empty words were spoken, the entire conference room fell silent again.

The global conscription is not surprising, as the navy urgently needs new personnel, but what does it mean to add an admiral position?

"Marshal Kong, what do you mean?"

"Just as you think, the Navy will have four admirals in the future, which is to better cope with this era."

There was no suspense involved.

But when Kong said it out loud, many generals were still shocked.

It's worth noting that since the Navy's founding, it has always had three admirals. It seems this reform is no joke, but a serious undertaking.

all of a sudden.

All eyes were now on Chaton and Gion, as both were candidates for Admiral. Together with Borsalino and Kuzan, who remained unchanged, there were exactly four Admirals.

However, Gion and Chaton are still a little weaker, so their deterrent effect is probably not as strong as that of Borsalino and others.

"Gion, Chaton, your positions will remain unchanged."

"This time, the Five Elders have decided to offer two admiral positions to attract strong individuals from the general public."

Everyone was stunned again.

However, the Five Elders really went all out, using the general's seat as a signboard.

Think about it too.

The Navy's reputation is currently in a terrible state. There might still be some people in the lower and middle ranks willing to get involved, but there are definitely not many in the high ranks. However, if a position as admiral is promised, then things will be different.

After all, there are still many people with aspirations.

All living beings can never escape the pursuit of fame and fortune.

"In addition, Garp and Tsuru, your retirement requests were rejected by the Five Elders. Also, Zephyr, you need to do your part; you can't just stay retired forever."

"..."

The meeting lasted a long time.
