Chapter 77 Carlos, Marine’S New Marshal

"Carlos betrayed us?"

Hearing the words of the Five Elder with short blond hair, the sword-wielding elder chuckled.

"You're worrying too much. Marine is now divided into two factions. Even with the addition of the 100,000 recruits from the world conscription, Carlos won't be able to shake the World Government's dominance."

A look of unspeakable pride suddenly appeared on his face.

The World Government has ruled over the seas for nearly eight hundred years, and its legacy is beyond ordinary comprehension.

Not only were the Celestial Dragons present, but also Imu-sama, and let's not forget the ultimate weapon that can obliterate hundreds of kilometers in an instant!

If the situation truly becomes dire, the Five Elders will personally take action to resolve it.

"Don't forget, to balance the Marines and pirates, we have specially established the Seven Warlords of the Sea…"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered Hawkeye's recent defeat, and his expression stiffened.

Saint Saturn snorted lightly.

"In my opinion, this worry is somewhat unnecessary. Since Carlos joined the World Government, his actions have been transparent.

"We treated him well and entrusted him with significant responsibilities. How could he betray us?"

"Although Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, two remnants of the Rocks Pirates, have been eliminated, the Whitebeard Pirates still cannot be underestimated."

"According to information from the CP0, Bullet, Shiryu, and some prisoners previously held on the sixth floor of Impel Down have formed a new pirate group.

"They defeated Ochoku and took control of Beehive Island. I've heard they're still recruiting and may be rising as a new sea emperor."

The other Five Elders nodded slightly.

"Yes, if this group is allowed to act freely, they could indeed become a new threat."

Saint Saturn continued in a deep voice:

"Not only that, but Barloric Redfield has also appeared in the New World, seemingly searching for a specific Devil Fruit."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed abruptly.

Bullet had already been a troublesome concern, but the Red Earl, who could rival Roger and Whitebeard, escaping was unexpected.

"Damn it, we actually forgot about him!"

"After all, so much time has passed. Don't forget that the most powerful and vicious legendary pirate of the past decades is imprisoned in Impel Down!"

"Damn Magellan!"

Everyone's faces grew grim as they continued to express their frustration.

"In addition, the Red-Haired Pirates cannot be ignored. I heard they appeared in Totto Land and fought against the remnants of the Big Mom Pirates led by Katakuri. They won and obtained a historical road sign."

"Shanks? That kid from the Figarland family? What does he intend to do? Become the Pirate King?"

"The New World situation is truly chaotic…"

Saint Satan concluded:

"Although the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates have fallen, the New World still demands our attention.

"Now that we've managed to support Carlos, we'll naturally let him fulfill his role."

"Let Marine handle these issues. Intelligence indicates that many non-member countries have launched coups. For us, the Revolutionary Army led by Dragon is the most serious problem!"

"In this case, the original plan remains unchanged. The 100,000 recruits will still be sent to Marineford, and an additional 200 billion beri in military subsidies will be allocated."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

Grand Line, the first half of the New World.

The fleet carrying Sengoku and the others had been on the move for half a day.

He put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand and gazed out at the endless blue sea.

His mood looked grim.

Kacha kacha—

His old friend Garp was munching on senbei beside him, seemingly indifferent.

"I said, Sengoku, can't you let go? In the blink of an eye, we're already so old, and our time has long passed. It's better to let go and leave the future to the younger generation."

Garp had come to terms with the idea of stepping back and guarding his hometown, East Blue.

Sengoku sighed softly and said seriously:

"It's not about clinging to power."

"This guy Carlos is just like Akainu—he's too radical!"

"He hasn't experienced our era and doesn't know how many powerful people there are in this sea. Compared to them, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin are just newcomers."

"I have a bad feeling: sooner or later, this guy will lead the Marines into disaster!"

Garp put down his senbei and casually pinched his nostrils.

"EXU…"

Before he could finish speaking, a strange, unsettling feeling suddenly gripped him.

Garp, Sengoku, and the others couldn't help but look into the distance.

In the blue sky, a massive crack, tens of thousands of meters long, appeared!

"That's towards Marineford. What's going on?"

Tsuru, holding a Den Den Mushi, walked over with a serious expression.

"Sengoku, Carlos and Hawkeye had a duel at Marineford just now."

Garp raised his eyebrows and sighed.

"I see... I suppose only someone like Hawkeye could achieve such a feat. The world's greatest swordsman truly lives up to his reputation."

"No, the blow that split the sky was caused by Carlos!"

"What!"

Sengoku and Garp exclaimed, staring at Tsuru in disbelief.

"That's right. Carlos defeated Hawkeye with just one blow."

"This…"

Sengoku sighed quietly, as if coming to a realization.

This young man might truly change the world.

"When things become unbalanced, will the pirates just stand by and watch? What if they unite…"

"As the Marine grows, it will inevitably attract suspicion and suppression from the World Government. Does this young man, Carlos, truly understand the importance of hiding one's strength and biding one's time?"

After a moment, Sengoku shook his head, pushing aside his worries.

These were issues he contemplated when he was still a marshal.

Let the younger generation handle these troublesome problems.

He had dedicated so many years to the Marines.

It was time to retire and enjoy life with Zephyr, Garp, and others.

"Oh, I hope everything turns out for the best."

Sengoku took the Den Den Mushi from Crane and connected the call to Marineford's Naval Headquarters.

This was his final act as Marine Marshal:

He was handing over his position to Carlos.

At this moment, in Marineford Square.

All the sailors, as well as the Vice Admirals and Admirals, listened quietly to the final order delivered by Marshal Sengoku over the radio.

Even Kizaru, who usually remained indifferent, couldn't suppress the shock in his heart at this moment.

"It's true what they say: heroes come from the young."
