"The rebel leader is going to become the Navy Admiral?!"
“What a joke!!”
In the headquarters navy camp, all the officers above the rank of major general were gathered in a temporary simple meeting room.
When Marshal Sengoku announced to everyone that he would step down from the position of marshal and invite Tsugakuni Yoriichi to succeed him, Tsugakuni Yoriichi walked up to the platform and appeared in front of all the headquarters navy.
The promotion to the position of Marshal of the headquarters can still guarantee autonomy to a certain extent.
The recommendation of the former Navy Admiral, the vote of the generals, and the approval of the World Government, the importance and proportion of these three conditions are actually relatively equal.
When Aokiji and Akainu were competing for the position of Admiral, one had the recommendation of a former Navy Admiral, while the other had the support of hawkish generals and the World Government.
It was precisely because of the support of the dovish officers of Garp and Sengoku that the situation between the two men would eventually develop to the point of a decisive battle.
However, the fact that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi succeeded as the Navy Admiral was so shocking that before the ordinary soldiers could react to what was happening, the vice admirals who knew more about the situation began to voice their opposition.
Lieutenant General Onigumo has a violent personality. He is not afraid even when facing the powerful Tsugakuni Yoriichi. During the meeting, he directly scolded Tsugakuni Yoriichi who was standing in front of the stage, and his words were full of contempt for Tsugakuni Yoriichi's identity.
The entire temporary meeting room fell into silence because Ghost Spider stood up.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ghost Spider and Jigoku Yuanyi. The expressions on everyone's faces were different, some were afraid, some were confused, some were fanatical in their support, and some were calmly observing.
On the platform, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, who was about to give a speech, paused, turned his head slightly, and looked at Onigumo.
"Rebels?!"
"Lieutenant General Onigumo, I am the Supreme Commander of the Sword of Dawn. I am wanted by the World Government only because I accepted the secret order from Marshal Sengoku to hide in the New World."
"The situation in the New World is now under the control of my Sword of Dawn, and I have officially returned to the Marine Headquarters."
"Although I am flattered that Marshal Sengoku has asked me to succeed him as the Grand Admiral, even if I don't become the Grand Admiral, I will still be one of the admirals if I am reinstated."
"Mr. Lieutenant General! You need to figure out who you are talking to now?"
Tsugakugo's pupils shrank slightly, and his Conqueror's Haki materialized, precisely enveloping Vice Admiral Onigumo. The terrifying force rushed towards him, and even without the intimidation of Conqueror's Haki, the stubborn Onigumo trembled slightly, sweat soaking his back.
He was not afraid of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, but under the pressure of the domineering aura, his body reacted uncontrollably.
"Stop, General Tsugikokuenichi."
Sakaski, who had been watching coldly, saw Vice Admiral Spider-Ghost trembling violently under the pressure of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's domineering aura, his face ashen, and he was about to collapse and show his ugly appearance, so he immediately spoke out to stop him.
Compared to Spider-Man, Sakaski is obviously more able to understand the situation. When addressing Yoriichi, he also uses the title "General". Although he is pleading for Spider-Man, on the other hand, Sakaski's words and actions are also a disguised acknowledgment of what Yoriichi Tsugikuni said.
"General Tsugikoku Yoshida—"
"There's no need to get angry about something like this. Relax, everyone."
Borsalino also made a timely compromise at this moment. Both he and Sakaski changed the way they addressed each other. This statement was considered a formal recognition of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's status.
Zhan Guo's gaze swept across the two generals under his command, and a hint of strangeness appeared in his eyes.
The statements made by Sakaski and Borsalino were somewhat beyond his expectations. Sengoku's original intention was to see how Tsugakuni Yoriichi would deal with such an emergency, but the words of Sakaski and Borsalino invisibly weakened the influence of Onigumo and consolidated Tsugakuni Yoriichi's position.
"Watch your words and actions, Vice Admiral Ghost Spider."
Yunyi glanced at Sakaski and Borsalino in the front row of the stage, looked deeply at Onizuka who was sweating profusely, and quickly restrained the domineering aura he had released.
Suddenly relieved of the pressure, Ghost Spider, covered in cold sweat, sat down on the ground, breathing heavily. Fortunately, everyone present was sitting cross-legged on the ground, so those who were a little further away could not see Ghost Spider's loss of composure.
Yunyi withdrew his domineering aura, and Sakaski looked in the direction of Onigumo, using his eyes to stop Onigumo who was still unwilling to accept it. Onigumo noticed Sakaski's eyes and was stunned. Then he silently lowered his head, adjusted his posture, and sat quietly in the same place.
Sakaski is a hawkish leader and also a naval admiral. For some people in the Naval Headquarters, his words are often more useful than those of Marshal Sengoku.
As for the other faction in the Marine Headquarters, their leaders were the current Marshal Sengoku and the deceased Vice Admiral Garp. This group of people focused their attention on Sengoku, hoping to learn something from him.
But to their disappointment, after announcing the news, Zhan Guo slowly walked off the stage without saying anything.
After a small episode, this temporary high-level meeting officially got on track.
At this moment, many of the sailors sitting below must still be confused. They have many questions in their hearts, but they have no way to tell others.
But these people's opinions don't matter at all.
The core group of people who control the headquarters of the Navy are the two lines of vice admirals following Sakaski and Sengoku.
Then these people acknowledged Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's identity, and no matter how much noise the people below made, it was meaningless.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi not only possesses a terrifying reputation, he also possesses the most powerful power in the world!
That terrifying strength is the important basis for Yoshikazu Tsugakuni to gain a foothold in the headquarters of the Navy.
If you have the ability, people will listen to what you say.
This world is very realistic and also very cruel.
No matter what the environment is, the weak are always the ones who often run into obstacles, while the strong often have a smooth road ahead, and even if there are some obstacles, they can kick them away with one foot.
"Thanks to Marshal Sengoku's kindness, I am allowed to succeed him as the Fleet Admiral."
"I'm deeply terrified."
After a few simple pleasantries, Ji Guoyuan paused and said:
"But from the moment I stepped onto the stage, I was ready to take on the pressure."
"I will restore the Navy Headquarters to its rightful place."
"In previous operations, our naval headquarters' approach made significant errors."
"As the successor to the Admiral of the Navy, I will implement a series of reforms to our Navy Headquarters."
"We, the Navy Headquarters, need to re-examine ourselves, our values, our purpose, and our capabilities."
"On this basis, I intend to start by correcting historical mistakes and finding my own position."
"Tian Zheng."
Having said that, Jiguo Yuanyi waved to Tianzheng in the distance. The latter understood and handed a stack of pictures and text materials to Zhan Guo.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's succession speech was very short, and then the truth was revealed.
Zhan Guo took the information handed over by Tian Zheng, quickly flipped through it, and his face became hard. Although he had expected this, when he actually got the information, he was still unable to control his emotions.
"Yuichi, this..."
Sengoku wanted to stop him, but at this time, Tsugikuni Yoriichi just waved at Tenmasa and ignored him.
Yixiao, who was not far away, used the power of the gravity fruit, and pieces of paper documents floated into the hands of every general in the conference room.
Even He, whose presence was very weak, got the information at this time. After glancing at it for a few times, he raised his head and looked at Ji Guoyuan on the stage with a deep gaze.
"How is this possible?!"
"Massacre? How could the Celestial Dragons do this?"
"Vice Admiral Garp actually teamed up with Pirate King Roger? Why would Pirate King Roger protect the Celestial Dragons?"
"What on earth is going on here?"
The originally quiet meeting room suddenly became noisy as the information was distributed to the generals.
These materials had been prepared by Ji Guoyuan long ago. Originally, they were intended to be used to attack the enemy's morale when going to war with the Navy Headquarters, but as the situation developed, these materials had other uses.
Valley of the Gods!
These materials are the truth about the Valley of the Gods buried in the long river of history.
The Celestial Dragons massacred civilians and slaves from non-member countries, and the Navy Headquarters provided escort for such massacres. At the same time, Garp, known as the hero of the Navy, and the Pirate King Roger joined forces to resist the Rocks Pirates.
All these facts are now laid out before all the navy officers.
Not many of the navy present knew the truth about the Valley of the Gods. Today, the backbone of the navy has reached the age of Sakaski and Borsalino.
When the Valley of the Gods incident occurred more than 20 years ago, these generals were still very young and had no access to the truth of the Valley of the Gods incident.
When the generals and officers of the Navy Headquarters received this information, they were also greatly shocked.
Those who aspire to become navy officers all have a sense of justice and ideals in their hearts, and not everyone can accept the massacre committed by the Celestial Dragons.
Moreover, the data shows that the Celestial Dragons have carried out such massacres more than once or twice.
It is a long-term activity held every three years.
It is hard to imagine how many people have died in the massacres of the Celestial Dragons in the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government, and how much effort the Navy Headquarters, which has always carried the name of justice, has contributed behind the scenes.
Their naval headquarters has basically become an accomplice of the butchers.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's your purpose in showing us this kind of information?"
"The Celestial Dragons created this world. They are the world's nobles and the creators."
"Those who resist the Celestial Dragons deserve to die, let alone those who die from non-member nations and the Celestial Dragons' slaves."
"What's wrong with that?!"
"What's wrong with our navy protecting the Celestial Dragons?"
"Is this the historical issue you're talking about?"
Yuchimura, Commodore of the Naval Headquarters, was not supposed to attend this high-level meeting at his level, but for some unknown reason, Zhan Guo brought him along when he convened the meeting.
As soon as he said this, all the navy officers in the simple conference room were shocked and looked sideways at Yukimura in the back row, and more people's attention was focused on Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
"Hey! Yukimura!"
"What nonsense! Shut up!"
Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan repeatedly stopped him, not because he disagreed with what Yukimura said, but simply because he knew Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's character.
Although Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan did not know what kind of agreement the marshal and the admirals had reached with Tsugakuni Yoriichi, this enemy Tsugakuni Yoriichi had suddenly become their naval marshal.
However, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan is also a person who can judge the situation. Naturally, he will not be the first to take the lead at such a critical juncture, nor will he allow his subordinates to be the first to take the lead.
Brigadier General Yuchimula was actually the person he promoted.
“Wow——”
Jiguo Yuanyi pondered for a moment, his eyes falling on Brigadier General Yuchimura.
"You think it's okay, right?"
"What is your name?"
When Tsugikuni Yoshiichi said this, everyone could feel that the atmosphere in the venue had become extremely cold and solemn, and an inexplicable sense of terror and pressure lingered in everyone's heart.
"Yukimura! Commodore of the Marine Headquarters, Yukimura."
Faced with the huge pressure brought by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, Yukimura also stretched his neck and shouted directly. He could feel the atmosphere at the scene and knew that he had spoken out of turn in his excitement. Thinking back to the various deeds of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi in the past, Yukimura couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Well, Brigadier General Yuchimura, relax."
"Don't be nervous."
"I think it's not just you. There should be many people here who share the same idea as you."
"Compared to you, they are not so straightforward and don't speak directly from their hearts."
"It doesn't matter. This is the kind of education you received, so it's not surprising that you would say such things."
"But I want to tell you clearly that this is wrong."
"The Creator? The Celestial Dragons?"
"Who in this world is born nobler than others?"
"Leaving aside the others for now, which of these generals sitting in the front row is from a world aristocratic family?"
"Find out."
"It is not the Celestial Dragons who sit in holy places, enjoying themselves and feasting, who are doing their utmost to maintain world peace and stability."
"It's you, the navy present here, who did these things!"
"You have knives in your hands, you have guns in your hands, you have experienced countless life-and-death battles on the sea, how could you be worse than those rotten people?"
"While you were fighting pirates for your lives, the Celestial Dragons were drinking fine wine; while you were immersed in the grief of your comrades' deaths, the Celestial Dragons were happily hugging the women they had robbed; while you were covered in blood and wanted to return to your family, hey! The woman the Celestial Dragons had robbed was your wife!"
"so."
"Mr. Brigadier General, can you tell me what the Celestial Dragons have done for the peace and stability of this world?"
A warm smile appeared on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's face, but his smile, set against the backdrop of his blood-stained military uniform, gave the others present a terrifying pressure.
"." Brigadier General Yuchimura didn't know whether he was under pressure from Yoriichi Tsugikuni or he really had no way to find out the contribution of the Celestial Dragons, so he chose to remain silent at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Yuanyi's lips curled up slightly and revealed a faint smile.
The goal has been achieved.
Although such speeches are unlikely to change the deeply rooted ideas in people's hearts, these words are a seed, a seed called ambition.
"We, the Navy, stand for justice. No one can ride on our heads."
"So what if they're Celestial Dragons?"
"All those who stand against justice will be judged by our navy!"
