Pirates' Max Level System

Therefore, ordinary naval soldiers stayed on their own warships and the kitchen on the warships prepared a celebration banquet. Only officers with the rank of second lieutenant or above or special officers and some naval generals with potential or background who received special invitations could go to the marshal's warship "Navy No. 1" to attend the most important celebration banquet.

The "Major Sato" played by Qin Luo naturally met the military rank requirements and was able to attend the celebration banquet on "Navy One".

"Major Sato" was the only person qualified to participate in the warship where Qin Luo was. He came to "Navy No. 1" when the crowd was the largest. Of course, with so many naval generals, Qin Luo did not continue to wear Liuyun's mask, but used illusion to set up a face similar to "Major Sato" for himself.

Qin Luo took a glass of wine and stood beside a group of people who were sure they didn't know each other, pretending to be waiting for someone he knew. At this time, standing in the corner would make him stand out, so Qin Luo naturally wouldn't do that.

However, Qin Luo still chose a position close to the deck of the ship. The noisy sounds from other warships outside and the sound of the waves were enough to cover up the sounds he might make later.

At this time, the entire three-story banquet hall was basically packed with naval generals, and almost everyone who should have arrived had arrived.

"Comrades!" As the deep voice of the host sounded, the lights in the banquet hall went out, leaving only a few dim lights on the tables.

Two spotlights lit up, illuminating the empty area on the first floor of the banquet hall, which would serve as the seats and award podium for the main naval officers at the celebration.

Military ranks like "Major Sato" played by Qin Luo are scattered in the "Banquet Square" on the first to third floors of the banquet hall, and naturally there are no seats.

"Please welcome the Vice Admirals, Admirals and Marshal Sora to enter." Following the master of ceremonies' voice, starting with the Vice Admirals, the Admirals appeared one by one according to their strength, achievements and status, followed by the Admirals, and Marshal Sora appeared last as the finale.

Among them, Qin Luo has quite a few acquaintances. People like Kizaru, Akainu, Aokiji, Sengoku, Garp, etc. all entered later. It was like walking on the red carpet in real life. It was actually quite boring, but the number of supporters of these generals could be judged by the size of the cheers for entry.

Among the vice admirals, Garp and Tsuru are the most powerful, followed by Kizaru, Akainu, and Aokiji, the three future admirals.

Others may not notice it, but a thoughtful person like Qin Luo can clearly see that when the calls for Kizaru, Akainu, and Aokiji to enter the venue were rang out, the expressions of the three were very interesting, changing almost every second.

Akainu was the last of the three to enter, and the cheers were the loudest. Aokiji and Kizaru both looked at Akainu with constipated expressions as he sat down. Akainu wasn't in a good mood either, and his previous anger hadn't subsided yet, so he glared back. An indescribable smoke and anger filled the celebration banquet.

"Interesting, interesting. It will be even more interesting if a fight breaks out." Qin Luo's voice was very low, barely audible in the boiling atmosphere.

The following speech by Navy Admiral Kong Kong was rather boring. It was nothing more than the crusade against the evil bandit Liuyun, the power of unity, the justice of the navy and everyone's merits, etc.

The sailors might have been excited after hearing this, but Qin Luo felt depressed and bored.

How to say it, this is like holding a memorial service for King Yama - he doesn't want to live anymore. If Qin Luo didn't think that the subsequent plan would be more interesting, he would have wanted to directly open the Mangekyo Sharingan and kill all these naval generals.

Finally it was Zhan Guo's turn to give a speech.

For this celebration banquet, Zhan Guo also changed into a brand new navy uniform. The snow-white fabric and the trimmed beard showed that he had dressed up carefully, at least he didn't want Garp to give up... It was also thanks to Qin Luo that he didn't bother Zhan Guo for the whole afternoon. Now, although Zhan Guo was still uneasy, at least he was in much better spirits.

"I've kept you safe for the whole afternoon, which is quite considerate of you, Zhan Guo." Qin Luo smiled evilly, and the wine in the glass in his hand kept shaking.

"Warring States Period." Qin Luo also believed in scaring people step by step.

Qin Luo used the same trick again and sent a psychological hint to Zhan Guo alone. Among so many navy men in the audience, only Zhan Guo heard it.

At this time, Kong Kong's speech was about to reach the final stage. Zhan Guo was preparing his speech at his seat, and it was his turn next.

Damn it appeared again. Amidst the passionate voice of Kong Ganggu that resounded throughout the venue, Zhan Guo vaguely heard Liuyun's voice again.

"Is it hallucination?" Zhan Guo paid close attention, but didn't hear anything, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhan Guo, am I dead?"

Zhan Guo's hand holding the speech manuscript suddenly clenched, and a corner of the speech was torn.

"What's wrong, Zhan Guo?" Lieutenant General He next to him asked when he saw Zhan Guo's abnormality.

"Nothing, really." Zhan Guo was absent-minded and took a second to answer Lieutenant General He's question.

"Tell me if you have any problem." Vice Admiral He was still quite worried. The 0.7 of Zhan Guo was totally out of shape.

"Okay, how could I be in trouble?" Zhan Guo said to Lieutenant General He while sweating, wanting to reassure him, but he suddenly stopped talking while sweating profusely.

"I, Liuyun, will not die. Death is just the beginning." Liuyun's voice, still Liuyun's voice, but this time Zhan Guo heard it clearly, because this time the voice changed from the previous light tone, becoming gloomy, and with the sneer that Liuyun would occasionally make.

"...What about love?" After a long time, Zhan Guo finally said the last two words, in a tone that he himself did not believe at all.

Zhan Guo was stunned in his seat. He couldn't accept the sudden words at all. He confirmed countless times that only he could hear this voice, and Lieutenant General He next to him had no reaction at all.

Chapter 377: Speculations about the Warring States Period

"What's wrong with you, Zhan Guo?"

"Zhan Guo, I'm watching you."

Gradually, the voices of Lieutenant General He and Liuyun became mixed together in Zhan Guo's mind, and he could not tell who was who.

The cold sweat on Zhan Guo's face kept pouring out like a waterfall, and the two voices kept repeating indefinitely until Zhan Guo reached the critical point.

"Liuyun." With a loud roar, Zhan Guo stood up from his seat, threw the speech manuscript aside, and slammed his hands on the table, breaking the dining table, which was of average quality, into several pieces.

The entire third floor of the banquet hall was silent. Even Marshal Gang Gukong, who was finishing his speech, stopped.

With the outburst of emotions, the voice in Zhan Guo's mind finally disappeared, and even all the sounds in the banquet hall disappeared, and Zhan Guo woke up instantly.

It's not that Qin Luo let Zhan Guo go and stopped harassing him with his voice. He really cherished the opportunity to take advantage of someone's misfortune. Unfortunately, the banquet hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

When Qin Luo was giving Zhan Guo psychological hints, he would make some noises. If he was still muttering to himself at this moment, he would probably be discovered on the spot.

But it doesn't matter. All the naval generals present are looking at Zhan Guo. Marshal Gang Gu Kong has a constipated look on his face and is facing away from everyone. He is looking at Zhan Guo with a murderous expression and asking Zhan Guo to give an explanation quickly.

So, how are you going to step down now, Zhan Guo? Qin Luo looked at Zhan Guo jokingly, looking forward to Zhan Guo's response.

Sengoku was no fool, and he understood the situation instantly, noting that Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru were gesticulating and making faces like crazy.

"Liuyun, I mean the evil villain Liuyun, this existence that brought great disasters and evil was finally eliminated by our navy." Zhan Guo looked at Marshal Ganggu Kong and signaled with his eyes for cooperation.

"Please forgive my indiscretion, but when I heard that the evil thief Liuyun had been executed, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. I felt like my soul was about to burn with excitement."

"So that's how it is. General Zhan Guo, the greatest hero of this Liuyun campaign, must have many heartfelt words and emotions he wanted to express, which is why he couldn't help but respond so emotionally. Well, I won't say any more here. Quickly, hand the microphone over to our hero."

These old guys who have been struggling in the officialdom for many years are quite smart. Ganggukong walked down the stairs in an instant, created a hot atmosphere and handed the microphone to Zhan Guo.

"Warring States." "Warring States." ...

Amidst the shouts of "Zhan Guo", Qin Luo calmly shouted "boring", but used the shouts to start the psychological suggestion to Zhan Guo again.

Zhan Guo pretended to be excited and took the microphone to start his speech, but because of the constant harassment from Qin Luo, Zhan Guo's mental state was on the verge of collapse.

Zhan Guo simplified the speech in his hand and finished it quickly. At the end, Zhan Guo added some content that was not in the speech.

"I think even if Liuyun didn't die, he would be trembling in fear under the unity of so many of our navy. Such rats, no matter how powerful they are, are only fit to hide in the sewers. Everyone, don't you agree?"

Zhan Guo's passionate voice echoed throughout the banquet hall, and as the end of his speech, it lifted the atmosphere of many naval generals present.

"Long live the Navy."

"Justice will prevail."

"The Warring States general will win."

As such cries continued to echo, Zhan Guo carefully observed the many people in the banquet hall. Zhan Guo suspected that the person behind the incident was in this hall.

"In vain." Zhan Guo's simple provocation naturally had no effect on Qin Luo.

"You guys just make some noise first. The real show will begin at twelve o'clock." Qin Luo stayed next to a group of people and drank red wine silently with elegant manners. Others just thought that Qin Luo was a cold person with little emotional fluctuation and few friends, and they would not think too much about other aspects.

Zhan Guo was on a floor far away, unable to see anything. He felt that giving a speech was more tiring than fighting a major battle. He dragged Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru to ask for permission from Marshal Steel Bone Sora before leaving.

Marshal Kong didn't look at Zhan Guo in a good mood this time. Zhan Guo almost ruined the celebration banquet just now. Seeing that Zhan Guo was no longer in good shape, he quickly sent him away together with the "problem child" Garp.

"Xiao He, please take care of these two bastards and keep a close eye on them." Marshal Gang Gu Kong said with a stern face. Now it was Zefa's turn to speak on the stage. Gang Gu Kong took advantage of this gap to give instructions to the reliable Vice Admiral He.

"I will, Marshal. Zhan Guo's behavior is not normal. I suspect someone is playing tricks." Lieutenant General He replied after receiving the order. She noticed that the last part of Zhan Guo's speech was not in the speech manuscript. It was said by Zhan Guo on the spur of the moment. She must have some intention.

Ganggukong waved his hand to indicate that he understood. He didn't have time to talk about this now because the commendation meeting was about to begin.

The departure of Sengoku, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru was very low-key. Although many people saw it, it did not cause much impact.

In Zhan Guo's lounge, Zhan Guo told the two people he trusted most that he frequently heard Liu Yun's voice and that only he heard it, as well as the lingering feeling of unease and suspicion towards the navy personnel.

The drunk Garp, the depressed Sengoku, the silent Lieutenant General Tsuru 760, the lounge fell into a strange silence.

"What do you think?" After Qin Luo achieved his goal, he naturally stopped harassing Zhan Guo. Zhan Guo, who had calmed down, broke the silence first.

"What did you say... uh." Garp had already drunk a lot of wine before leaving the table. He was half drunk and raised the bottle in his hand to Zhan Guo. "Come on, have a drink."

Sengoku punched Garp and knocked him down. He didn't expect Garp to give any advice, he just asked him not to make trouble.

"Liuyun should be dead, otherwise, with his temper, all of us would have been digested by the sea kings, or he would have blackmailed us for another devil fruit." Lieutenant General He was very familiar with Qin Luo's usual style.

But this time she was really wrong. This time, Qin Luo had moved beyond vulgar tastes and had higher requirements, at least that's what Qin Luo thought.

"Then it seems that someone in the navy is up to something." Zhan Guo was lying face down with his eyes in the shadows. Anyone could see the dissatisfaction and anger in Zhan Guo's heart at this moment.

"I heard that rumors about the list of the next admiral and marshal are flying around today, and the entire navy fleet knows about it." Vice Admiral Tsuru said something irrelevant.

"Haha, it seems that some people are indeed restless." How could Zhan Guo not know the hidden meaning of Lieutenant General He.

Chapter 378: Ranking Competition

Having just defeated Liuyun, those clowns in the navy couldn't help but jump out. Zhan Guo attributed everything he encountered to the turmoil within the navy.

Although Zhan Guo had his own guesses, they still couldn't figure out how to deal with the next situation and who was behind the scenes, and the discussion once again came to a deadlock.

After the three Zhan Guos left, Marshal Gang Gukong began the commendation ceremony for the meritorious service in the Floating Cloud Campaign. Unlike the harmonious atmosphere before, a tense atmosphere permeated the celebration banquet from the moment the commendation ceremony began.

Qin Luo said that he really did nothing, but the banquet hall on the third floor was already tense. Perhaps it only took a little spark for the entire banquet hall to explode completely.

The commendation meeting also started with those with lower contributions. Officers like Major Sato, who was Qin Luo's incarnation, were more numerous, so those with lower positions were just mentioned briefly and were not required to go to the commendation platform on the first floor to receive the award. Those who needed to go up were all sitting on the first floor this time.

Major Sato was naturally mentioned as one of the many captains who commanded warships with skill. The admirals were relatively restrained in this regard, with the most common being that a rival admiral would be indignant at hearing his name mentioned before his rival's, while the latter would react with mockery.

But after the major general began to be commended, the seed of jealousy that Qin Luo had planted in the afternoon began to slowly sprout.

Starting from the rank of major general, all the commended generals will go to the podium to receive the medal from Marshal Gang Gukong.

The successful defeat of the evil villain Liuyun is the most important event for the navy in recent years. Even the execution of Pirate King Roger is not as important as this.

After the wave of rumors in the afternoon, all the rear admirals and vice admirals used the order of commendation at this commendation conference as the order of promotion for everyone afterwards.

Perhaps because they thought the anger wasn't strong enough, starting from the Lieutenant General, only one person would go on stage to receive the medals each time, so the ranking of the people could not be clearer.

Behind every vice admiral is a large number of basic naval cadres as followers, and each candidate for the next admiral and marshal represents a faction.

In the end, the only six vice admirals who were not commended were Chaton, Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru. However, Vice Admiral Tsuru and Garp could not be promoted to admiral for some reason, so the next competition was between Chaton, Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru.

"If Taotu is still in the navy, I guess we'll have to add one more person." Qin Luo found it funny when he saw the nervous looks of the middle-level naval generals next to him. These people felt too much like they were in the navy.

"Do you think so too? If it were me, I would also support Vice Admiral Taotu." Qin Luo didn't expect that the person next to him would talk to him, and he couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't expect that he could still see Taotu's fans in the navy now. He would talk to Taotu about it when he got back.

At this critical moment, Qin Luo's laughter undoubtedly attracted many unfriendly looks. Qin Luo didn't want to be the focus, so he lowered his head to express silence. If it weren't for the need to hide his identity for the good show later, Qin Luo would have wanted to poke these people's eyes out.

"Lieutenant General Chatun." Marshal Ganggukong's words directly declared that Chatun had no hope of being promoted to general. As a result, Chatun's supporters and he himself were listless, while other people were in high spirits. How to say it, they are worthy of being the three generals in the future. This result did not surprise Qin Luo at all.

There are still relatively few supporters of Chatun. Although some people are dissatisfied, with so many people around, the voices of dissatisfaction quickly disappear.

However, slight friction has already occurred, and some disputes have arisen at Qin Luo's level.

Given the prestige and strength of Vice Admirals Tsuru and Garp, there is no problem for them to be the last to be commended for Vice Admirals. So who is ranked higher among Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru?

The real war begins now, the battle for the ranking of the new generals in the future.

"Vice Admiral Kizaru." As Marshal Kong Gu's voice fell, it was obvious that Kizaru, who was sitting, sighed directly.

"As expected, I can't win. I can't win." Kizaru said to Aokiji and Akainu with a relaxed look on his face, then he stood up and walked towards the podium.

"Vice Admiral Kizaru."

"Vice Admiral Kizaru."

Kizaru's supporters occupied about one-fifth of the entire banquet hall. Although these people were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept the reality, but they could always shout in support of their supporters.

However, other supporters of the lieutenant generals do not buy it. No one shouted when the previous lieutenant generals were awarded medals. As the saying goes, it is not the lack of medals that is worrying, but the uneven distribution of medals. How come you, Kizaru, can set a precedent when it comes to you?

Supporters of Vice Admirals such as Bastille, Spider-Man, Chaton, and Mole were not happy about this. Together with some supporters of Aokiji and Akainu, some rivalries and quarrels had already begun, but they were still relatively restrained.

"What are you shouting?"

"What if I yell?"

"Try shouting again?"

"Try it."

Is Kizaru really that calm? I'm afraid not, otherwise he wouldn't sigh. In the later plot, Kizaru wouldn't try every means to establish a relationship with the Naval Science Department where Vegapunk is.

After Kizaru was awarded the medal, the cheers in the banquet hall became louder, but the voices were replaced by Aokiji and Akainu.

The seats of Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu were still connected. Now Kizaru hadn't returned to his seat yet, so there were only Aokiji and Akainu in that area.

Akainu bit his cigar, glanced at Aokiji, and rested one hand on the table. A heat was transmitted along the table towards Aokiji.

Aokiji looked like he was pretending to be asleep, and his half-closed eyes were also looking at Akainu. Their gazes met in the air, and a spark of electricity seemed to fly.
