One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

He then gestured to CP0 beside him to replace the epaulets on Kong's shoulder.

"I solemnly swear here that I will never let the government down!"

In response, Sora looked at Char and solemnly swore an oath.

"Ok!"

"Former Admiral Sengoku, heed my command..."

"After deliberation by the Five Elders, the highest authority in the government, it has been decided to promote former Admiral Sengoku to the position of the new Fleet Admiral! It is hoped that Fleet Admiral Sengoku can continue the undefeated legend of the Air Fleet Admiral and continue to serve justice and peace!"

As Xia spoke, he presented Sengoku with medals and badges.

"We will not fail in our mission during the Warring States period!"

In response, Zhan Guo raised his head, his eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were already brimming with tears, glistening with crystalline droplets.

"Ok!"

Char nodded slightly to Sengoku, then turned his gaze to Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru below the stage. He said in a serious voice, "Marine Headquarters Admiral Candidate 'Akainu' Sakazuki, 'Aokiji' Kuzan, and 'Kizaru' Borsalino, listen to my command!"

"After deliberation by the Five Elders, who hold the highest authority in the government, it has been decided..."

"...You are being promoted to active-duty admirals of the Navy Headquarters!"

As Xia finished speaking, he waved to the people behind him.

Immediately, three CP0 officers presented Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino with three handmade suits, along with epaulets and medals symbolizing a naval admiral.

"Marine Admiral Sakazuki Akainu..."

"Admiral Aokiji Kurazan of the Marine Headquarters..."

"Admiral Kizaru Borsalino of the Marine Headquarters~"

"...I will not fail in my mission!"

The three men, Red, Blue, and Yellow, stood in front of Char. After receiving the suits from CP0 and putting on their epaulets and medals, they knelt on one knee before Char and respectfully addressed him.

Theoretically speaking, Marine Admirals wouldn't need to kneel before the Celestial Dragons or the Five Elders...

Sakazuki and the others knelt before Char simply because of the series of impressive victories Char had achieved under his leadership of the Marine Headquarters after becoming the Commander-in-Chief!

To be honest, of all the impressive resumes of the Air Marshal, apart from the God Valley Incident which was borrowed from Garp, the rest were all borrowed from Char...

Even his only achievement, the capture of 'Red Earl' Barolorick Redfield, only happened after he was knocked unconscious by Barolorick Redfield!

After 'Red Earl' was imprisoned in the deep-sea prison, the Navy, in an effort to save face and prevent Kong from losing face, announced that Kong had been responsible for defeating and capturing Barrorick Redfield. It was precisely because of this incident that Barrorick Redfield held Kong in contempt.

"Next, Vice Admirals 'Momosasa' Gion, 'Chaton' Kakei, and 'Himu' Dor, listen to my command!"

Immediately afterwards, Char's gaze fell upon Gion, Kakei, and Dol.

"After deliberation by the Five Elders, who hold the highest authority in the government, it has been decided..."

"...You three are hereby promoted to Admiral candidates for the Navy Headquarters!"

Char looked at Gion, Kake, and Dol and spoke softly.

As Char finished speaking, Gion, Kake, and Dol were all taken aback.

However, Gion and Kake showed expressions of "I knew it," their surprise mostly stemming from the fact that Char had promoted them to the position of admiral candidate so quickly! According to their understanding of the Navy, it should have taken at least four or five years before they were promoted.

"Huh? Me?!"

As for Dol, she simply couldn't understand it. She thought that once she reached the rank of Vice Admiral in the Marine Headquarters, that was the end of her career! She never expected that Char would promote her from a regular Vice Admiral to an Admiral candidate all at once!

"Ha ha……"

Char simply smiled at this.

After undergoing the most advanced technological modifications by Char, Dol's strength has definitely reached the level of a candidate admiral!

Therefore, it was only natural that Char promoted Dol to the rank of general!

However, if Char's technology doesn't advance further, Dol will likely remain at the level of a candidate admiral for the rest of his life; Dol's potential has already been exhausted...

As for Gion and Kake, these two usually quiet guys in the Navy! They are genuine individuals with the potential to reach the top of the combat power.

Although Dol was still in a daze, she still went up to the podium as required, and Char personally pinned the epaulets and medals on her.

"This is the power of the new era!"

Below the stage, Zephyr, Garp, and Tsuru, the three old guys, huddled together, watching the younger generation receiving medals and promotions on the podium. Bright smiles appeared on all three of their old faces. The rising stars of the Navy had now fully grown up.

"Next, please invite Lieutenant General Tsuru to the stage..."

Just when everyone thought the awarding ceremony was over, Char continued.

"Huh? There's also this old woman?!"

Crane paused for a moment, then slowly walked toward the awards stage.

"Passing by the Five Elders..."

"From today onwards, Vice Admiral Tsuru, you are the Chief of Staff of the World Government's Navy, Army, and Air Force! Your rank is equal to that of a Fleet Admiral! Congratulations..."

As Xia spoke, he instructed his men to present Lieutenant General Tsuru with shoulder boards and medals.

"Forehead……"

Lieutenant General Tsuru paused for a moment, but still accepted the honor from Xia Ya's hands according to procedure.

"Hahaha, Ah He's been put on hold here!"

"After all, the commendation ceremony is broadcast live, so even if you don't want to be recognized, you have to go!"

Garp, watching from below the stage, mocked Tsuru, who had been forcibly promoted by Char.

"Next, please come up to the stage, Lieutenant General Garp!"

Immediately after, when Char spoke again, Garp suddenly stopped laughing.

"what?!"

Garp's face was ashen, and he stood there, his body trembling slightly.

"Hurry up and get on stage! It's being broadcast live!"

"Garp, you don't want the Navy to lose face, do you?"

Zephyr looked at Garp, whose face was ashen, and couldn't help but laugh.

"I……"

Karp took a deep breath and went on stage anyway.

As Zephyr said, this is a live broadcast, and he can't let the Navy lose face.

"Vice Admiral Garp! From today onwards, you will be the Chief Instructor of the World Government's training camps for the Navy, Army, and Air Force! I hope you will do your utmost to provide the government with more troops..."

Char looked at Garp and spoke with a smile.

"Kid, what are you doing?!"

Garp lowered his voice and looked at Char, asking.

"Keep reading and you'll find out..."

Char simply shrugged indifferently.

Char really just wanted to reward old man Garp...

However, perhaps because Char's reputation within the Navy was so good, those who knew him well, upon hearing Char praise them for no apparent reason, did not react with joy at first, but rather with constant suspicion that Char was secretly plotting against them again...

"Next, former Navy Admiral Zephyr, please come to the stage!"

With the idea of ​​not letting any combatant slip by, Char spoke softly to Zephyr, the only one still smiling in the audience who was planning to retire.

"what?!"

Zefa's eyes twitched upon hearing this.

"Hahaha……"

"Zeffa is live right now, you don't want to embarrass the government, do you?!"

Upon hearing Char's words, Garp, who was standing on the podium, burst into laughter. He looked at Zephyr below the stage, beckoned with his finger, and gestured for Zephyr to come up on stage quickly.

"I……"

Zefa looked quite helpless upon hearing this, but he still went up to the podium.

"After deliberation by the Five Elders, it has been decided..."

"Former Navy Admiral Zephyr is hereby promoted to World Government Army Marshal!"

"Congratulations, Marshal Zephyr!"

As Xia spoke, he smiled slightly at Zephyr.

"Char, kid, I'm already planning to retire!"

Upon hearing this, Zephyr spoke to Char with a displeased expression.

"Yeah?!"

"After the ceremony, I have a gift I plan to give to Marshal Zefa."
