A brief internal meeting of the Navy pushed Yoshikazu Tsugakuni to the position of Navy Admiral.
Everything went very smoothly, but the reason was very clear. It was simply impossible to take control of the Navy Headquarters. What to do next was the top priority.
He needs to completely divide the original power of the Navy Headquarters, eliminate the "diehards" among them, and then let fresh blood reshuffle the existing officer system. Only then can he truly control the power in his own hands.
This will be a long process, at least four or five years, and at most more than ten years.
In this regard, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also showed great patience.
The Navy Headquarters suffered heavy losses in this battle in the New World. The large fleet carrying soldiers was completely destroyed in the tsunami, and only one in ten ships remained. Even though the Navy Headquarters' grassroots navy did not suffer major casualties, the influence of the Navy Headquarters would inevitably be weakened with the destruction of its ships.
The Naval Headquarters needs some time to recuperate and restore its strength. Similarly, Tsugikuni Yoriichi also needs some time to carry out detailed transformation of the Naval Headquarters to facilitate the complete integration of the New Navy and the Naval Headquarters to form a real force of its own.
Three days later.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's warship, the Dawn, carrying a full crew of headquarters officers, rushed to Marinford. The remaining soldiers were stranded on the Island of Origin. For a long time to come, the New Navy would send the headquarters navy stranded on the island in batches to the four seas.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not disrupt the existing troops, nor did he plan to hastily mix the members of the Navy Headquarters and the New Navy. At this stage, he needed to ensure the purity and loyalty of the New Navy. A rash mixing would only make management chaotic.
The Navy Headquarters has stood in this world for many years, and the World Government has continued to rule this world for 800 years. The vast majority of ordinary people still have a strong sense of belonging to the World Government.
It is not an easy task to change such universal values. Tsugikuni Yoriichi can plant the seeds of ambition in the hearts of a group of generals, but if he wants to continue to exert influence on ordinary naval forces, he also needs the help of a platform like the Naval Headquarters.
The Navy Headquarters entered the New World on a large scale and started a war with the New Navy, but this news was concealed by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni.
In contrast, the Navy Headquarters announced its reorganization with the help of its publicity channels.
The then Marshal Sengoku officially announced his retirement and resignation, and after restoring the reputation of the Navy Admiral, Yoriichi Tsugakuni naturally became the new Marshal of the Navy Headquarters.
At the same time, Ichisho and Mihawk were appointed by Yoriichi Tsugakuni to become the new two admirals of the Marine Headquarters.
Although Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had no intention of mixing the grassroots units, he could not allow the Navy Headquarters to maintain the existing leadership system and it would be a natural thing for his subordinates to be mixed into the leadership.
The task of taking charge of Wan Guo was assigned by Ji Guo Yuanyi to Xiong and Abel. Both of them possessed the strength of the vice-emperor level, and their own domineering aura had also grown to a certain extent.
In today's world, no one can threaten them.
What's more, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also left the extremely talented Aramaki to them. With these three strong men guarding the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, even if they encountered an opponent they could not deal with, they would be able to save their lives and hold on until reinforcements arrived.
There are also many new junior naval officers who followed Yoshikazu Tsugakuni to the naval headquarters. These people will be the seeds of spreading ideas.
The news of the reorganization of the Navy Headquarters shocked the world.
Tsukuni Yoriichi is known as the "world's strongest," and his every move is watched closely. Now that Tsukuni Yoriichi has returned to the Marine Headquarters, this is great news for ordinary soldiers and the public who were unaware of the truth.
In people's view, the rise of the navy has become inevitable.
The world's strongest pirate forces led by the five admirals who lead the navy will inevitably suffer an unprecedented blow from the navy.
Ever since Roger opened the Age of Discovery, ordinary people have been living in a difficult maritime environment. For these people, the stronger the navy's dominance, the safer their living environment will become.
The corrupt navy is ultimately a minority among the minorities. Compared to the pirates who are wreaking havoc on the world, the people still hope that the navy can take the lead, at least for the people who join the World Government of the Four Seas.
Marlene Fodor.
Zephyr, who temporarily took on the duties of admiral and is stationed at the headquarters of the Navy, is very busy every day.
The battle reports from the front line have been delivered to him these days, and the news of the deaths of Garp, Sora, and others really made Zephyr depressed for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, news came one after another that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi succeeded as marshal, and Ichiro and Mihawk were promoted to new admirals. The rapidly changing situation made Zephyr a little confused for a while.
Early in the morning.
The law enforcement officers who got up early came to the coast. In the dim light of dawn, Zefa sat on a rock and looked out to the distant sea.
Today, Ji Guoyuan will lead some generals back to Marinford.
Zefa had already received this news yesterday. This news made Zefa toss and turn all night and unable to fall asleep. His eyes were full of fatigue at this moment.
Zephyr has not yet informed Luffy of the news of Garp's death in battle. He has not figured out how to tell Luffy the news that his grandfather has died in battle.
What's more, the man who killed Luffy's grandfather will soon arrive at Marineford.
Not to mention Luffy, even Zephyr didn't know how to face Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who killed his old comrade.
Resentment? Such emotions have never appeared in the hearts of law enforcement officers.
Anger? There was a moment, but it quickly dissipated.
I feel more sad about Garp's death in battle and regret that the situation has developed to this point.
He could understand Garp's decision at the time, and he could also understand Yoriichi Tsugakuni's decision.
If Garp, Sora, and others had not died, there would probably be no possibility of negotiation between the New Navy and the Naval Headquarters.
The weaker party has no right to negotiate. Only by completely overwhelming the opponent can it truly take the lead.
Garp and Sora are the backbone of the Navy. If Yoriichi Tsugakuni does not break these two bones, the Navy Headquarters will not be able to bend.
Zefa could understand everything.
But this is still too cruel for him, for Sengoku, for Crane, and for Luffy.
Old guys like Zephyr have experienced a lot and can barely reconcile with their own hearts, but how will the young Luffy view Yoriichi Tsugakuni and the Marine Headquarters?
Expecting a kid like this to understand? Impossible.
Luffy neither understood the necessity nor the possibility of Tsugakure Yoriichi.
"I'm old after all."
"It's better to make room for the young people early on."
Zefa sighed softly, and his burly body hunched over at this moment. The years had left a deep mark on Zefa's body.
In a ward of Marinford Hospital.
Kuzan stood expressionlessly by the windowsill, holding an internal military newspaper in his hand, gazing blankly at the distant sea.
The news of Vice Admiral Garp's death had a huge impact on the young Kuzan. Similarly, the news of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's return to the Navy Headquarters also made his mind chaotic.
As a navy admiral, he could naturally guess what happened on the Origin Island.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni killed the vanguard he led, killed Vice Admiral Garp, whom he respected, and now he has returned to the Marine Headquarters and become the Admiral of the Navy?!
All of this caught Kuzan off guard and he found it difficult to accept for a while.
Like Zephyr, Kuzan doesn't know how to face Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Even though they were once friends for life and death, emotionally, Kuzan finds it difficult to ignore Yoriichi Tsugakuni's actions.
Compared to them, those who have nothing to do with Tsugaru Yoshiichi are more willing to accept Tsugaru Yoshiichi's entry into the Naval Headquarters.
The less I know, the happier I am that a group of top-tier combat forces have joined our headquarters.
After nearly half a month of sailing, the warship Dawn finally approached Marinford.
Before officially landing on the island, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi found Sakaski, Borsalino, Yixiao and Mihawk.
Two former navy admirals and two new navy admirals.
At this moment, the cabin seemed a little depressing because of the silence of Sakaski and others.
"What's up?"
In the end, it was Sakaski who spoke first. The relationship between him and Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was not good. Yoshiichi Tsugakuni asked him to meet before the ship arrived at Marineford. Sakaski made various predictions in his mind.
Will he be killed?
Not likely. If Tsugakuni Yoriichi really wanted to take action, he would have had plenty of opportunities on the Island of Origin.
Most likely, they are trying to consolidate power.
Sakaski believed he had seen through Tsugikuni Yoriichi's plans and acquiesced to Yoriichi's attempts to consolidate power. Sakaski didn't seek immense power; he simply needed a platform to wield his influence.
The previous Marine Headquarters was unable to provide him with such a stage, but under the leadership of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, perhaps there would be a turning point.
At least when it comes to dealing with pirates, Yoriichi Tsugikuni and he are on the same side.
Over the years, Sakaski had never heard of any large prisons dedicated to imprisoning pirates in the Wanoku region. Most pirates who crossed Tsugakugo's path were killed, which suited his temperament perfectly.
Sakaski was the first to break the silence, and everyone in the cabin turned their eyes to Sakaski.
A gentle smile appeared on Yunyi's face, and he spoke to Sakaski politely:
"General Sakaski, General Borsalino, relax a little and don't be so reserved."
"Although we were enemies in the past, we were comrades before that, weren't we?"
"The reason I called you two here this time is not for anything else, but to ask you to help me with some things before and after landing on the island."
Facing the two naval admirals Sakaski and Borsalino, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not adopt a condescending attitude. He really wanted to manage the naval headquarters well. For this reason, the influence of these two men cannot be ignored.
"He's also the Admiral of the Navy. If there's anything, just give the order directly."
Borsalino's eyes gleamed, and he leaned back on the sofa, grinning as he spoke seemingly casually.
Yunyi's eyes swept over Borsalino, and then looked at Sakaski.
After a brief silence, Sakaski nodded slightly and said, "No need to hide it. Since I've already approved you to become the Admiral of the Navy, I will abide by whatever decision you make."
Sakaski's statement surprised Tsugikuni Yoriichi. To be honest, the person he was most suspicious of was actually Sakaski. There was no way around it. This guy's style of doing things was always too consistent with the label of "loyal dog of the World Government."
But seeing Sakaski's frank expression at this time, Yunyi had to admit that he had misjudged Akainu. This guy was a scheming person.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's Observation Haki can sense people's emotions, so it is very difficult to lie in front of him.
Sakaski's statement gained the initial trust of Tsugikuni Yoriichi. Although he didn't know what Sakaski was planning, this statement also made Yoriichi change some of his ways of dealing with this guy.
Originally, he was planning to marginalize Akainu.
After taking a deep look at Sakaski, Yuanyi said straight to the point:
"In that case, I won't hide it."
"After returning to the Marine Headquarters, I hope you two can control your subordinates."
"I don't want to hear any more gossip in Marinford."
"By the way, I will be making some adjustments to the troops under your command."
"It's not just you, it's the same on General Kuzan's side as well."
"After all, there used to be only three admirals of the navy, but now, there are five."
"Collecting Heavenly Gold will be the focus of our Navy Headquarters' work for the next period of time."
"Originally, these matters were carried out by the headquarters in assistance to the World Government."
"The navy's military budget is also allocated by the World Government."
"but."
"I think the Celestial Dragons don't deserve to use the people's tax money. How much Celestial Gold should be collected, when to collect it, and what to do if we can't collect it, all of this will be decided by us."
"The Navy Headquarters lost a large number of warships, and the fallen soldiers also need compensation."
"At the same time, I also plan to improve the welfare benefits of junior sergeants."
"It's not easy to implement each of these things, and it requires the cooperation of all departments."
"The military budget gap will be huge. Whether the collection of Tianshangjin is smooth will directly affect the operation of the Navy Headquarters."
If you want to win people's hearts, giving money is the best way.
The sailors are men who fight with their heads on the waistband of their pants. If you ask what these people care about, it is probably only their relatives in their hometown.
Once these people have tasted the sweetness, they will naturally gather around Yoriichi Tsugikuni and become his staunch supporters.
The main reason why the Tianshang Gold System became an evil policy was that the Tianlong people intercepted most of the wealth for their own enjoyment, and acted too harshly towards those countries that could not pay the Tianshang Gold.
Reasonable allocation, taking advantage of strengths to make up for weaknesses, and turning the gold in the sky directly into a "protective wall" for the people will be the focus of Ji Guoyuanyi for a long time to come.
"Gold from the Sky"
Realizing Tsugikuni Yoriichi's intention, Sakaski couldn't help but fall into silence.
This is equivalent to directly cutting off the lifeline of the World Government. Without the supply of heavenly gold, how can the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land continue their luxurious life?
This is forcing the Five Elders to continue taking action.
"His target is the world's nobles, no doubt about it!"
