"World Government?"
Sengoku couldn't help but frown.
If someone from the World Government suddenly comes to visit, there must be something important going on.
As Marine Marshal, he was not notified in advance.
No matter what, due etiquette is essential.
"Xiaohe, please go to the port to meet...
"No need!"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
A large group of people walked into the conference room.
Sengoku's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the visitor in disbelief.
The leader is none other than one of the Five Elders, Jyagolu Sissatain!
To his left and right stood two tall middle-aged men.
One of them was wearing a lavender kimono and holding a cane sword.
There is a cross scar on his face, running through both eyes.
The other person has messy black curly hair, wearing sunglasses, holding a cigarette, and is shirtless.
He looked unruly and unkempt.
Behind Saint Satan was an old man with his hands behind his back and his tongue sticking out.
Although he is short and thin, he has a head about the same length as his height.
Judging from his position, he seems to have an extraordinary status.
At the very back, there are ten guys wearing white uniforms and strange masks.
It is the intelligence agency, CPO, directly under the "World Nobles" Celestial Dragons.
The huge battle immediately silenced the conference room.
Everyone didn't care about the Admirals who were at war with each other just now, and all cast surprised glances.
Sengoku walked quickly to the door and said respectfully:
"Lord Saint Satan, Marine is currently conducting a major meeting. I was unaware of your visit, so please forgive me for not traveling far away."
Surrounded by everyone, Saint Satan walked onto the stage.
He glanced at the whole place for a long time and said slowly:
"I came here for nothing else but to announce three things."
As he spoke, he pointed to the short and thin old man next to him wearing a white coat.
"This is Vegapunk. I don't need to introduce him too much, right?"
Vegapunk, chief scientist.
It is rumored that the level of technology he has mastered has exceeded that of the world for 500 years.
Countless technological creations have been made thanks to him.
He has outstanding achievements in many fields.
Among other things, Marine's warships were also made by this old man.
Including Sengoku, this was the first time for everyone to see the true appearance of Vegapunk, and they couldn't help but look at him curiously.
"First thing: Vegapunk is currently working on a brand new combat weapon. Charlotte Linlin is a good research material, so I passed it to him for research."
Charlotte Linlin is said to have a strong body that is not inferior to the giants at the age of five.
Needless to say, qualifications and talents.
Sengoku and He looked at each other, thought for a while, and nodded slowly.
"We have no objection to this arrangement."
Although it is a pity that the Emperor of the Sea cannot be executed in front of the whole world.
But the name Vegapunk is also well known to them.
If we can really develop so-called combat weapons.
It will also be helpful in fighting pirates in the future.
It's also a good thing for Marine.
Saint Satan seemed very satisfied with everyone's reaction, nodded, and looked at the two people beside him.
"Let me introduce, this is Issho, codenamed Fujitora, and this is Aramaki, codenamed Green Bull."
"They are the strong men selected from the world conscription during this period."
"From now on, they will serve as Marine Admirals."
"As for who the remaining person is and how to arrange it, it is up to you within Marine to decide."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present could no longer remain calm and couldn't help but cast shocked looks.
Carlos was also a little surprised.
Of course, he recognized these two people.
In the original plot of One Piece.
After Summit War,
Sengoku chose to resign as marshal.
Aokiji failed in the duel with Akainu and left Marine.
In order to make up for the vacancy in combat power, the World government decided to launch a world conscription.
These two people passed the various selections, officially debuted, and served as Marine Admirals.
Unexpectedly, the fall of Impel Down directly led to this incident happening in advance.
Although judging from their respective performances, they are somewhat unsatisfactory.
But their strength has undoubtedly reached Admiral's standards.
"Looks like things are getting interesting."
Carlos couldn't help but glance at Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru beside him.
Sengoku took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Lord Saint Satan, this approach seems inappropriate."
"As the highest combat power of Marine, the Admirals must..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the other party.
"As Marine Admirals, they not only have impeccable strength, but they are also the face of Marine."
"The strength of these two people has been confirmed by us. They are more than enough to hold the position of Admiral. You don't need to say any more."
Fujitora held the staff sword in both hands and stood silently with his eyes closed.
But another guy called the Green Bull looked down frequently.
The arrogant and unruly look made everyone feel uneasy.
Sengoku suppressed his inner dissatisfaction, his face turned red, and his voice became slightly louder.
"Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru have no obvious faults, and there is no reason to rashly remove them from their Admiral positions."
"I apologize for not being able to agree to this order!"
Saint Satan sneered and scolded him mercilessly.
"Marshal Sengoku, I am not discussing with you now. I am announcing the World Government's decision."
"Don't you know how bad the impact of what happened before was?"
"Punk Hazard learned all the opponent's information in advance. Two Admirals and five Vice Admirals were dispatched. What was the result?"
"Not long ago, Marine assembled a hundred thousand troops to intercept the Whitebeard Pirates. What was the result? Not only did they achieve nothing, but they also suffered heavy losses!"
"If Carlos hadn't turned the tide this time and eliminated the two sea emperors, the situation would have become irreversible!"
These words left Sengoku speechless.
Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't know how to refute it.
At this moment, Kizaru below suddenly lowered his crossed legs.
The obscene look on his face disappeared, replaced by a serious and solemn expression.
"Since we have decided to add two more Admirals, there is still one spot left.
"I wonder which one of our three former Admirals do you want to keep?"
Before Saint Satan could say anything, Green Bull couldn't help but say first:
"Of course Akainu, Sakazuki."
Garp crossed his arms and sneered:
"That's not necessarily the case."
Perhaps as a marshal, Sengoku would be concerned about the identity of the Five Elders.
But Garp didn't care at all.
Over the past few decades, he has been used to contradicting the World Government once and for all.
Being contradicted in front of so many people, Saint Satan was not angry at all, or in other words, he didn't care at all.
"Don't worry, just listen to the last thing I have to say."
He cast his gaze on Carlos below, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"I said Sengoku, if I remember correctly, you will be over sixty this year, right? It's time to start enjoying retirement life.
"The position of Marshal Marine should be taken by Carlos!"
"The position of Marshal Marine should be taken by Carlos!"
The words of Five Elders are like a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.
The Marine generals present were shocked,
Whoa whoosh!
They all stood up from their seats.
Even Sengoku, who had always been calm and collected, couldn't help himself at this moment.
He clenched his fists hard and said word by word:
"If you heard me correctly, you mean to ask me to resign as marshal and give it to Carlos?"
Saint Satan nodded expressionlessly.
"I made it very clear just now. Don't ask me to repeat it again."
Garp and He couldn't help but look at each other.
In his eyes, there was both concern for Sengoku and anger for what Five Elders had done.
The three of them joined Marine at the same time,
Train together, graduate, and then fight side by side to defeat pirates.
After all, I have been working for Marine for almost 40 to 50 years.
It can be said that they have dedicated their entire lives to the cause of Marine.
The number of pirates I caught with my own hands ranged from eight hundred to a thousand.
But now, Sengoku was dismissed from his position as marshal without any warning?
what is this?
To the World Government, are they just tools that come and go at a moment's notice?
It's so chilling.
For Sengoku, it is even more of a shame!
Saint Satan looked calm and didn't care at all about everyone's reactions.
Marine?
It's just a dog of the World Government.
Of course, these words must not be said in front of everyone.
After all, this is still the Marine headquarters, and Sengoku has worked diligently for so many years.
There is no need to make the other party unable to get off the stage.
"Sengoku, since you joined Marine, you have made many penultimate contributions. And these are all seen by our World Government. But..."
"Times have changed, and you are getting old. It's time to hand over Marine's future to more capable young people. From now on, let's take off our heavy responsibilities and enjoy our retirement life."
Sengoku lowered his head slightly, his expression uncertain.
Garp, Crane, and several others stood beside him unknowingly.
Although they didn't speak, their respective attitudes were obvious.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn and depressing.
The Vice Admiral Rear Admirals in the audience did not dare to take a breath and looked at both sides nervously.
At this time, the current Marine Chief Instructor, former Admiral Zephyr, walked onto the stage from the seats below to break the deadlock.
"Even if Sengoku resigns as marshal, his successor should be selected from the Marine Admiral.
"I don't deny Carlos's strength. But after all, he is still too young. Whether it is experience, qualifications, or management capabilities, it still takes time to accumulate.
"If he is promoted to Admiral, I will never object. Marshal Marine... I'm afraid he won't be qualified for the job."
Zephyr's words were recognized by everyone present.
"That's right, Sihai, Grand Line. All Marine Bases combined, there are at least 100,000 people. It's difficult to manage everything in an orderly manner without making mistakes. "The difficulty is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"There are simply endless pirates wreaking havoc all over the world. To be honest, it is not easy to maintain the current situation."
"As a Marine Marshal, a single order can determine the fate of thousands of people. Once the wrong decision is made, the consequences are unimaginable."
Ghost Spider, Flying Squirrel, Dauberman, etc. Vice Admiral is talking about it.
In their view.
Carlos has outstanding abilities and is indeed a good player in fighting pirates.
But he is only in his twenties after all.
There are deficiencies in life experience and experience.
Rather than letting him manage the entire Marine, it would be better to let him focus on conquering
Enter the pirate.
At the same time, many people present looked at him with envy.
This is Marshal Marine, the pinnacle that many people struggle to reach in their entire lives!
But when I think about Carlos's deeds during this period, I feel that it's a bit natural.
After all, this was a fierce man who killed two sea emperors in just one trip to sea.
"quiet!"
Sengoku's face darkened and he scolded.
The noisy conference room became quiet again.
He sighed softly and looked at Saint Satan seriously.
"Since the World Government believes that I am no longer qualified for the position of Marine Marshal."
"Okay, i can retire!"
"But I have a request -"
"The position of marshal must be given to Kuzan."
As soon as these words came out, Aokiji immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Saint Satan's face instantly darkened.
"Do you think this is a game of house? Are you kidding me?"
"Are you Marines going to disobey the World Government's orders?"
Garp crossed his arms and sneered mercilessly.
"We at Marine know better than you who is more suitable to be the marshal."
"Instead of worrying about our internal affairs at Marine, it is better to spend more time on other aspects."
"Do you know how many people go to sea and become pirates every year?"
"You know."
Garp has lived for so many years,
It's clear what the source of all this is.
Many people chose to go to sea because of the declaration made by the Pirate King Roger before his execution.
But more often than not, they have to choose to become pirates because they are oppressed and cannot afford to eat!
There were so many that Marine couldn't catch them.
He knew it very well.
No matter how hard Marine tried, he couldn't eliminate all the pirates.
The source of all evil is the World Government!
Not just him, many people in Marine also realize this.
However, they could only respond with a helpless smile.
But there are always exceptions.
In order to change all this, his son Dragon resolutely left Marine and established the "Revolutionary Army."
Blatantly hostile to the World Government!
Every time he thinks about this, Garp feels sincerely willing.
He stared at Saint Satan and said solemnly every word:
"Compared to what the World Government is doing."
"At least we have a clear conscience and live up to the word justice!"
This sentence was like a bomb, instantly detonating the entire conference room!
At this moment,
The Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals here seem to be infected by Garp.
Everyone cheered loudly, and the sound almost lifted the entire roof.
Looking at the angry crowd,
Saint Satan's whole body was shaking slightly, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He never expected that things would come to this!
Garp, this "Marine hero" actually has such a reputation in Marine!
This guy has defied the World Government not once or twice,
They have no good way to deal with this guy.
This time, in order to protect Sengoku, he dared to openly challenge him!
Saint Satan clenched his fists and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Not only Garp,
Zephyr also sided with Sengoku.
Including Admiral, Vice Admiral.
Almost all the mid-to-high-end combat power in Marine was cultivated by this guy.
The influence in Marine is also frighteningly high.
With the support of two people, it is unlikely to overthrow Sengoku.
If we continue to press hard, Marine may become independent from the World Government.
The consequences will be disastrous!
Thinking of this, Saint Satan couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
For a while, it was difficult to get off the tiger.
At this moment, Carlos, who had been watching silently for a long time, suddenly stood up.
"Everyone, I have a proposal."
