The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

"...The bloodline of evil should not be left behind!"

"What crime could an unborn child have committed? Is becoming the Pirate King something you can just do on a whim? Go and have Ace go around waving flags and see which pirates recognize him as the son of the Pirate King?"

"..."

"You say you're resigning to take responsibility, but all you've left behind is a huge mess for future generations. Whitebeard at his peak, the prisoners who escaped Impel Down, the ambitious Blackbeard... these are all products of your 'wise rule,' but what kind of justice did you actually uphold?"

"..."

“Compared to you, you’re not even as good as Garp.” Sima Di looked at Garp, who was showing off his popcorn.

They even made the Warring States period lose confidence!

Could it be...

Has he really been completely useless all these years?

"Admit it, you're nothing but a henchman of the world government." Sima Di scoffed, "What kind of justice is that? You're clearly questioning the world government's decisions, yet you still resolutely carry them out. What kind of nonsense is that?"

This statement completely broke the Warring States' defenses!

"Without the navy maintaining the stability of the sea, this ocean would have been in chaos long ago!"

"Although the navy is corrupt in many ways, it does generally maintain order on the seas... But guess what, if the navy and the world government were removed, wouldn't the seas be even more chaotic than they are now?"

"..."

Aren't these endless pirates just products of the Heavenly Gold?

For a moment...

It's truly unclear whether the "chaotic sea" or the "orderly sea" was more chaotic during the Warring States period...

"Don't even think about it. The sea is definitely safer without a world government and navy." Sima Di said bluntly, "Without a world government and navy, the sea will naturally give rise to organizations like the Four Emperors to govern their respective territories... In fact, the Four Emperors are no longer pirates, but rather small-scale world governments."

For a moment, the Warring States period was speechless.

Because what Emperor Sima said were all objective facts, there was no way to refute them.

"Hahahaha—" Garp laughed, patting Sima Di on the shoulder: "In all these years, besides that unreasonable Roger, you're the first person who can leave this old guy speechless! Hahahaha—"

This guy is definitely a bad friend.

But once the Warring States period was interrupted, they stopped thinking about the past.

Instead, he asked, "So your goal is to overthrow the world government and establish a new regime?"

Sima Di gave Zhan Guo a strange look, making Zhan Guo feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Did he say something wrong again?

"I'm a pirate, so I can do whatever I want, right?" Sima Di asked curiously, "I'm unhappy with the world government right now, so I want to take it down. Is there a problem with that?"

Um......

That fits perfectly with the logic of One Piece!

Zhan Guo finally understood that, whether he was being reasonable or unreasonable, he seemed to be completely controlled by Sima Di.

Let's just give up and let it go.

"Anyway, I'm old. This ocean belongs to you young people, so let you do whatever you want."

Saying,

Zhan Guo also lay flat, picked up the popcorn bucket, and ate it with relish.

but......

Will Emperor Sima grant his wish?

?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?

Thank you to "Forever丶" and "18320.." for their monthly votes!

16. The New Navy Admiral! The Origin of the Dragon Mark!

Did he want to lie low during the Warring States period?

Did you ask Emperor Sima?

“You can’t just abandon this responsibility,” Sima Di said. “If Kuzan wants to build a new navy, as the Fleet Admiral, he certainly won’t support it. And you know Sakazuki’s personality, so it seems that you, who are retired and have nothing to do, are the best candidate.”

"..."

No!

He's ready to lie down!

and...

You're still a pirate!

How could they possibly assign work to someone like him, a former admiral of the navy?

The Warring States period was filled with existential doubts...

Sima Di had already taken out a white Den Den Mushi and made a call to Kuzan.

The other side had obviously been waiting as well, and answered instantly.

"What's the situation now?" Kuzan asked.

Sima Di glanced at the battlefield, and it seemed unlikely that a victor would be determined in the short term—they were all incredibly strong individuals with freakish physiques.

"It's still early," Sima Di said. "However, Sakazuki slipped up and let Sengoku and Garp know about our alliance... so your new navy has a new admiral."

"You mean..."

"That's right, the Warring States period is very suitable, isn't it?"

Before Kuzan could even speak, Sengoku was already displeased!

"Kid! When did I agree to that? 950"

"This time, no world government will force you to issue any strange orders. Don't you want to consider making your mark?" Sima Di raised an eyebrow and said, "You launched the Marineford War before you retired, wasn't it because you wanted to make some achievements to prove yourself? After all, you've been used as a pawn by the Celestial Dragons for so long, you'll want to be your own person eventually, won't you?"

"..."

Young man, it's such a shame you didn't join the Navy!

With that kind of eloquence,

They can easily trick a large group of navy personnel into "running away from home".

“OK.” Sima Di said to the Den Den Mushi, “Sengoku has tacitly agreed, so your new Fleet Admiral has been decided.”

"..."

Kuzan probably didn't expect that the problem of choosing the right person would be solved so easily.

He had originally planned to send Smoker, even though he was a bit inexperienced, he was at least someone he could trust.

This also gives him a chance to build up a team at the training camp.

But now...

Is there anyone in the entire navy more familiar with who can be recruited and who cannot be recruited than Sengoku?

"In that case, I'll trouble you... Marshal Sengoku."

Sima Di found it somewhat amusing; this scene was truly entertaining!

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the famous scene "New Fleet Admiral Kuzan appoints former Fleet Admiral Sengoku as the new Fleet Admiral!", you have received the sign-in reward "The Conqueror's Haki of the New Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"]

----------

"The New Navy: Fleet Admiral Sengoku's Conqueror's Haki": As the commander-in-chief of the navy, Sengoku yearns for justice to extend to every corner of the sea, thus awakening his Conqueror's Haki!

----------

Sima Di's Conqueror's Haki is rapidly increasing!

It only stopped rising after it had increased by nearly half.

I can’t believe it!

Did the Warring States period really have such a strong Conqueror's Haki?

It's reached a high-level peak, almost breaking through to the top level.

"Alright, that's all for you here, I'll hang up now."

Sima Di hung up the Den Den Mushi immediately, and then noticed Sengoku staring at him strangely.

"Your aura surged just now, suddenly becoming stronger? Is it... Conqueror's Haki?" Sengoku guessed.

After all, it's impossible for Conqueror's Haki to increase by half in an instant without being noticed.

"Well, isn't it normal to get promoted for carrying out my will?" Sima Di asked rhetorically.

The enhancement of Conqueror's Haki is inherently a "mystical" matter; in general, it means "one should strive for improvement."

So when the Warring States period heard this, they didn't have any doubts.

He could only sigh and say, "What a prodigy!"
