Pirates' Max Level System

This shows how much pressure Liuyun put on many naval generals and how profound his influence was.

But at the last mention of the Five Elders, the navy perked up, especially Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, and several other vice admirals who were expected to be promoted to admirals. Perhaps they had received some news in advance.

It seems that after this successful crusade against Liuyun, the Navy may be undergoing a series of changes. However, the Navy has always had this tradition. Whenever a major event that benefits the Navy occurs, the Navy will experience a large number of personnel changes.

The subsequent reward system will be the key to the competition among the generals, and the recognition of the Five Elders will directly determine their future promotions. The generals who had just stood side by side in the Floating Cloud Crusade were now wary of each other and filled with suspicion.

Among all the high-ranking navy officers, only four of them didn't care. One was Marshal Kong Gukong who spoke out at the moment, one was Vice Admiral Tsuru who had his own plans, one was Garp who had long been ordered by the Five Elders not to be promoted, and the last one was Sengoku who was still in an uneasy state.

"Anyway, you guys should get ready first. After all, there will be a celebration banquet later. Sengoku, you are the protagonist of this celebration banquet, so be alert." Marshal Kong left without looking back after he finished speaking. The generals also left one by one with their own little calculations and heavy hearts, leaving only Garp, Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru to stay where they were.

"I have something to ask you, Xiaohe." Seeing that everyone had left, Zhan Guo still felt uneasy, so he expressed some of his doubts.

"Speak." Lieutenant General He said briefly.

"Have the remnants of Liuyun been caught?" Zhan Guo thought of the whale in the sky, which was Lab.

"It's strange. It disappeared in just a moment. When everyone's attention was focused on Liuyun, the whale disappeared. I guess it ran away." Garp took out a bag of senbei from somewhere and started chewing on it, and interrupted in reply.

Vice Admiral Tsuru glared at Garp. She had no way to deal with this devil.

"It did escape, without anyone noticing." Vice Admiral Tsuru emphasized the word "everyone." It was obvious that Vice Admiral Tsuru was trying to point out that this was very strange. Such a large whale hadn't been noticed by a single sailor. Perhaps the matter was more complicated than that.

Is it really so? The wise general Zhan Guo and Lieutenant General Tsuru are indeed people with a lot of wisdom and strategies. They both sensed something unusual.

"Have you told Marshal Ganggu Kong about this?" Zhan Guo frowned and thought.

Lieutenant General He shook his head to indicate no. As for why he didn't say anything, it was because he didn't want to spoil Gang Gukong's interest at this time, or he was not sure. Lieutenant General He didn't mention a word about it.

After seeing this, Zhan Guo fell into silence. After thinking for a long time, he spoke solemnly as if he had made some decision.

"Do you think Liuyun is really dead? That body is really Liuyun's. The uneasiness in my heart has not dissipated to this day, and it is getting worse and worse."

There were only two of Zhan Guo's most familiar friends here, so he expressed his inner doubts. There were too many generals before, and Marshal Gang Gukong looked like he was afraid that he would affect the atmosphere of the celebration banquet, so he held back.

Zhan Guo hoped that his two best comrades could help him solve his doubts, but he was bound to be disappointed this time. Garp kept looking like, "I'm so stupid, don't ask me," and Vice Admiral Tsuru was thinking about something but said nothing.

Well, since his two best friends in the Warring States period didn't express their agreement, it seemed that he was overthinking it.

On the warship not far away, Major Sato, also known as Qin Luo, watched all of this happen without missing a beat.

"Very good!" Qin Luo couldn't help but exclaim, with a look of joy on his face as if his evil plan was about to succeed.

"Did Major Sato say that the wine is very good?" asked the navy soldier who was holding the bottle of white wine for Qin Luo.

"Of course, it's the wine of victory, I'm just drinking it in advance." Qin Luo didn't expect that the navy had just thought that Liuyun was dead, and the generals began to have their own plans. This was really good for him. This way, his plan would be easier to implement.

Chapter 374 Target Akainu

"Of course, no matter how good the white wine is, it can't compare to the joy of victory." The navy soldier standing next to Qin Luo who was trapped in Qin Luo's illusion was so attentive that he didn't look like a marine, but more like a waiter.

This naval soldier would never have thought that the Major Sato, whom he was trying to flatter and please, no longer existed. However, Qin Luo would not let the navy on this naval warship find out about this.

Qin Luo shook the light yellow wine in the goblet, drank it in one gulp, stood up and handed the glass to the attentive navy soldier standing beside him.

"Please take it to the kitchen for me. I'm going back to my room first." Qin Luo said slowly.

"Okay, Major Sato." The navy soldier saluted and left with the wine bottle and goblet.

Qin Luo didn't know where this "Major Sato"'s room was, but there was no need to know.

Qin Luo didn't really want to go back to the room, but he wanted to take advantage of the fact that many navy soldiers had their own plans to defeat them one by one.

"Hey, there's not much time left until the celebration party tonight. I guess we'll have to be busy if we want to do enough foreplay." Qin Luo complained after looking at his watch, but the smirk on his face didn't show any displeasure at all.

Qin Luo 783's first target is the hot-tempered Akainu. Compared with others, Akainu is more likely to succeed and more exciting.

Qin Luo unknowingly walked to the stern of the warship and leaned on the railing of the second-floor cabin. With a thought, a water element distribution map attached to the Overlord of the Sea ability appeared in front of Qin Luo's eyes.

This water element distribution map shows the locations of all water elements in the One Piece world, and can be viewed through the map. Qin Luo pulled the map to the current location of the naval fleet, and soon after a query, he knew the location of many naval cadres and the distribution of the entire naval fleet.

Outsiders cannot see the distribution map of the water element, so no one can see anything unusual about Major Sato. They just think he is looking at the sea. This is something that every navy does several times a day. It is normal.

While outsiders thought he was in a daze, Qin Luo determined and wrote down the locations of the targets one by one.

"It's not a good idea to disappear in public." Qin Luo murmured softly, and then he checked Major Sato's room.

"Major Sato" came to "his" room, locked the door, and poured a glass of water on the counter next to the bed.

In this way, even if someone comes to look for "Major Sato", Qin Luo can instantly return to bed and pretend to sleep.

Everything was ready, and Qin Luo disappeared in the room with a "hehehe" laugh.

Akainu walked on the warship of his teacher Zephyr with a heavy heart.

With Liuyun's death, the mountain that had been weighing on Akainu's head shattered, leaving only that damned Qin Luo. However, what made him most uneasy now was the Navy celebration party in a few days where the Five Elders would appear.

Akainu received the news that this time the expedition against Liuyun was successful. After he returned, the admirals and marshals of the navy would change within a year at the shortest and three to five years at the longest.

Sengoku made the greatest contribution this time and there is a high possibility that he will be designated as the next Admiral of the Navy. Akainu has no idea about the position of Admiral for the time being, but the position of Admiral is a different matter.

Akainu is determined to get the position of admiral, but this time his contribution is no different from that of Aokiji, Kizaru and some other vice admirals. Apart from strength, there is nothing special that can make a big difference.

Akainu is not completely sure about his chance to compete for the position of admiral, so he comes to his teacher Zephyr to test the waters.

Zephyr has been an admiral in the navy and is now the head coach of the recruit training camp at the navy headquarters. He has many students and a wide network of contacts in the navy and is deeply trusted by Marshal Kong and the Five Elders. He is a very influential and influential figure among the navy's top brass.

Akainu wants to get Zephyr's support, but among Zephyr's students, Aokiji, Akainu and Kizaru are all valued by Zephyr, but the one he likes most is Aokiji. I wonder what Zephyr will choose this time.

"I heard that there will be a series of changes after I return this time."

"real or fake."

"I heard it all, how could it be false?"

It turned out that on the way to Zephyr's office in the warship, Akainu saw some navy soldiers hiding in a corner and chatting. Akainu's level, observation Haki and hearing ability are far beyond ordinary people. Even if they are at a distance and the sound is very low, he can hear it clearly.

Normally, when Akainu encountered such a situation, he would naturally choose to scold these soldiers and convict them of the crime of being sneaky and talking privately about their superiors. However, at this time, the navy soldiers were talking about the issue of the admiral selection that Akainu was most concerned about.

For some unknown reason, Akainu didn't yell, but instead stopped and listened carefully. This was Zephyr's warship, and perhaps the navy on this warship could hear some news that others didn't know.

Akainu said this to himself in his heart and couldn't take a step forward.

"Who will change? Don't keep us in suspense."

"Hey, I feel like drinking today."

"Okay, that's enough. We'll treat you tonight." The surrounding navy soldiers started to protest against this shameless robbery.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you. I was on duty just now and heard Marshal Kong and Instructor Zefa say that there will be changes in the positions of Admiral and Marshal."

"No way." The navy soldiers were in an uproar, obviously shocked. The changes in the marshal and the admiral were a big event for the navy.

Sure enough, Akainu cried out inwardly, the news he received was not groundless.

"Isn't it? Marshal Sora and Instructor Zephyr are discussing the candidates for the new admiral and marshal. Do you want to know who the two adults are expecting?" The navy who had been leaking the news kept it a secret.

"Okay, let's add a French black pepper steak. Please don't keep me in suspense." The hot-tempered navy soldier directly agreed to a big meal.

"Hehe, I get it. You can probably guess the Marshal candidate is General Zhan Guo. As for the general position, Instructor Zefa recommended someone. Can you guess who it is?"

"Who?" Not only were the surrounding navy soldiers curious, but Akainu in the corner was also extremely nervous and almost shouted out loud, but his fists were clenched so tightly that they had partially turned into magma.

"It's Vice Admiral Kuzan, Ze..." The exploding navy soldier hadn't finished his words.

Suddenly there was a loud "bang". Not far from them, Akainu, with a look of anger on his face, turned his right hand into magma and hit the wall of the warship, punching through the wall. In the room with the hole, a naval civilian was looking at the fist with magma less than ten centimeters in front of him with a confused face and trembling. The scorching temperature made him sweat.

"Aokiji Kuzan." Akainu said these four words word by word with a ferocious face, then turned and left.

Chapter 375: Seeds of Jealousy

Hearing the loud noise, the group of navy soldiers were also shocked and turned their heads, only to see Vice Admiral Akainu angrily punching through the wall of the warship.

Thinking of Vice Admiral Akainu who was usually very strict and what they were talking about just now, they must have been overheard by Vice Admiral Akainu, and they were immediately frightened out of their wits and fled in all directions.

Among them, the sources of information and the active transmitters of gossip run the fastest.

However, with such a big commotion, the navy on other warships all looked over, so how could Zefa not react?

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zefa came out of his office with his clothes on, and asked a marine who was running slower.

"No, no, nothing, Lord Zefa." The captured marine became ruthless. Seeing that he was caught by Zefa and couldn't escape, he simply stopped his best friend who was running in front of him.

"Then why are you looking so panicked and running around on the warship?" Zefa is not someone who can be easily fooled.

"That's because, because." The navy who was caught by Zefa was shaking in panic. Although Zefa did not exude any aura at all, the majesty that he had cultivated as a high-ranking navy officer made the navy tremble all over, speak incoherently, and even his brain could not work.

Zefa thought to himself, is he so terrible? No one said he would punish him, and this navy soldier couldn't even speak. Zefa turned his eyes and looked at the innocent navy soldier who was stopped by his companions.

If possible, the navy soldier who was stopped by his best friend would definitely break up with him. Seeing the look in Zephyr's eyes, he stammered, "Just now... Vice Admiral Akainu saw us chatting together and got... angry."

After all, these navy soldiers did not dare to tell others about their discussion of high-level changes, and could only reluctantly give a reason. Zephyr did not believe it completely, but at least he knew that it was Akainu who made the noise just now.

Without making things difficult for these navy soldiers, Zephyr scolded them and told them to stop panicking, then let them go. He didn't care about Akainu's affairs.

However, what no one knew was that the navy soldier who had told the gossip before ran to an empty corner of the warship. When he was gasping for breath, a pattern composed of circles suddenly appeared in his eyes, which was obviously the Rinnegan. Soon the Rinnegan disappeared again.

"Hey, how did I get here? Oh, what did I say? Damn it." The navy soldier was stunned, and then he slapped himself in vain.

Of course, all this was arranged by Qin Luo. It doesn't seem particularly easy to directly use the Mangekyo and Samsara Eye to control the high-ranking naval officials, and it is very likely to cause trouble.

However, it is completely fine to use the illusion of the Rinnegan to slightly control the naval soldiers, give them psychological hints, and let them chatter. These controlled people will still be very conscious and will not know that they are being controlled. They will just think that they were impulsive and did not control their mouths.

So such things happened frequently in the navy afterwards.

Something like my second aunt's cousin's son-in-law's neighbor told me a big news, that there will be changes in the navy's top leadership, so-and-so will become an admiral, or Instructor Zefa and Marshal Kong recommended so-and-so to be an admiral. Fang Zheng is talking about a relative of mine.

Of course, the methods were also different. Some of them were reported by Qin Luo directly to the lieutenant generals through his personal soldiers, while others were heard accidentally when the navy soldiers were exchanging gossip.

In the end, Qin Luo didn't even need to take action. All kinds of rumors spread among the idle naval soldiers in the fleet and became a secret known to everyone.

Qin Luo didn't know about other people, but the more powerful and potential vice admirals like Bastille and Spider Demon had heard that Aokiji, Akainu and Kizaru would become admirals, but they didn't get any of it.

Although these lieutenant generals knew the gap between themselves and Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru, when it came to promotion and merit evaluation, there were really few people who could really face up to these gaps. In Qin Luo's opinion, the lieutenant generals who heard the news all had deep expressions on their faces.

The three future admirals are Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru. Except for Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru both heard Cyborg Sora recommend Akainu.

After listening, Aokiji looked calm and continued to sleep, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Kizaru bit the cigar he was smoking and even shot a beam of light at the soldier who was gossiping. Although it only burned a hole in the navy soldier's clothes, it was obvious that he was not at peace in his heart.

"Sure enough, you still care." Qin Luo muttered softly. When he was about to leave the warship where Aokiji was, Qin Luo noticed that the eye mask Aokiji was wearing had been covered with a layer of white frost at some point.

Regardless, the seeds of jealousy have been planted.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." After finishing everything, Qin Luo turned back into Major Sato and returned to his room.

"You're looking for me, Major Sato. And this is the white wine you asked for." The person who came in was the soldier who had tried to please Qin Luo before. After saying that, the soldier poured a glass of wine for Qin Luo.

...0

"I'm tired of reading, so I can only use wine to refresh myself and quench my thirst." Qin Luo said casually, and a gleam of light flashed in his pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, and he completed the psychological hint to the soldier who came to deliver the wine, making this soldier a witness that he had been reading in the room.

The soldier was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Lieutenant Sato, I heard that the high-ranking officers of the navy are going to change soon. It seems that Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, Garp, and Vice Admiral Chaton will all become admirals."

Qin Luo almost spit out his wine. He didn't expect that the rumor would eventually reach him, the initiator, and it was such an outrageous version. There would be people who believed such a rumor about the five generals.

"Do you think this news is credible?" Qin Luo only controlled the five senses and cognition of the navy on this warship and manipulated their memory, but he did not limit the IQ of these people. It seemed that such rumors were not credible at all.

"Of course, I would believe such nonsense. Isn't this just a joke to you, Major Sato?" Qin Luo was relieved and helpless. He was relieved that the navy he controlled was not stupid after all, and his illusion had no side effects. He was helpless that the rumors he spread were seriously distorted, and he was afraid that they would not have such a good effect.

"There are five admirals but Major Sato's name is missing. This is simply ridiculous. No matter who is missing, Major Sato is indispensable." The soldier slapped Qin Luo in the face with a serious look.

"Puff." This time he couldn't hold it back and sprayed the wine in his mouth directly, choking.

Chapter 376 The Celebration Banquet Begins

"What's wrong with you, Major Sato?" the soldier controlled by Qin Luo asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's nothing serious." Qin Luo raised his right hand to stop the navy soldiers from approaching.

Qin Luo never expected that the controlled navy soldier would say such a thing. Even Qin Luo, who was used to hearing flattery, was caught off guard by this fresh and unconventional flattery.

"You go out first. The celebration banquet will be starting soon. I'll change my clothes first." Qin Luo waved his hand to signal the navy soldiers to go out.

Soon the sky gradually darkened, and amidst a burst of noise, the navy's celebration banquet at sea was about to begin.

By the time the celebration banquet was ready, it was completely dark.

As the flagship of the strongest assembled fleet in the entire navy, the most important celebration venue and commendation center is of course located on the warship of the current Navy Marshal Kong Gu.

The marshal's warship, "Navy No. 1", is not only the best in technology, but also much larger than ordinary warships. However, no matter how big it is, it is impossible to accommodate all the navy.
