Chapter 1945 Battle of the North Sea (89)

At the same time, he told the Five Elders everything that had happened recently, and emphasized that Yi Xiao had the potential to be won over.

This news caused a huge stir and quickly attracted the attention of the Five Elders.

It must be understood that each admiral-level fighter possesses terrifying combat power capable of changing the world; for the World Government, such talent is undoubtedly an extremely valuable resource that cannot be lost.

Therefore, the Five Elders acted decisively and immediately summoned everyone to gather in Pangaea, Mary Geoise, to discuss countermeasures.

Before long, five solemn-faced elderly men arrived at their destination one after another.

They sat around the spacious and luxurious sofa, exchanging glances, the atmosphere unusually heavy.

"I vaguely remember this smile. Ever since he made his move in Rockefeller Kingdom, I immediately dispatched the CP organization to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation and tracking of him. After a long period of unremitting efforts and close monitoring, it can be said that his every move in recent years has been precisely under the control of our CP organization. Overall, he gives the impression of a wandering, homeless vagabond; and judging from his daily habits, he seems to be particularly keen on gambling!"

As one of the Five Elders in charge of intelligence affairs, Saint Satan took the lead in revealing all the information he knew about Yixiao to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Maz Saint, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't contain his eagerness and interrupted, asking, "So, in your opinion, is there some potential risk or suspicious aspect hidden behind this person?"

It should be understood that if such a person of unknown origin and mysterious identity were allowed to easily infiltrate the naval force and transform into a high-ranking admiral, it would undoubtedly be an unprecedented disgrace to the entire naval community!

Faced with Maz Saint's question, Satan Saint did not answer directly but pondered for a moment before slowly nodding and replying, "Based on the comprehensive analysis of all the information collected so far, this person named 'Yixiao' has a completely clean and spotless background!"

At this moment, Nassoulang Sheng, who had been silent, suddenly broke the silence and interjected, saying, "That's right. With the strength he has shown so far, he should have enough capital to pursue higher levels of fame, fortune, power, wealth, and other material or spiritual enjoyment, right? However, the opposite is true. It is really puzzling that he has chosen such a low-key and unassuming style! It is precisely because of this that people can't figure out what he is thinking or what he intends to do!"

Immediately following, another member of the Five Elders, Saint Vochuli, echoed in agreement, saying, "That makes sense! Usually, those who are pure of heart and have few desires, who are indifferent to worldly affairs, or even who are almost in a state of desirelessness, are often the most terrifying and troublesome beings!"

"Then why did he intervene to stop Caesar of the Rockefeller Kingdom this time?"

Piet Saint frowned, his mind filled with doubt, and asked.

Clearly, this is the issue he is most concerned about.

When faced with Piet Saint's question, Satan Saint did not answer directly, but remained silent for a moment before revealing a mysterious smile.

Then, Saint Satan slowly spoke: "As far as I know, this person named 'Issou' only has two records of fighting with all his might in the CP organization's files, and without exception, both are closely related to the Rockefeller Kingdom. You might want to think carefully about whether it is possible that the enormous pressure exerted by the Rockefeller Kingdom prompted him to consider joining our Navy. After all, as the saying goes, it's good to have a big tree to lean on!"

After listening to Satan Saint's analysis, Maz Saint nodded thoughtfully, indicating his agreement.

"Hmm...that's quite true. His two consecutive attacks on the Rockefeller Kingdom are a testament to this; he clearly harbors hostility towards the Rockefeller Kingdom. In that case, recruiting him into the Navy is indeed a wise move!"

"Mazsan said firmly."

Mazsan’s remarks indicate that he strongly approves of and supports bringing Issho into the Navy.

After all, the Navy is about to fall apart. While this is in line with the World Government's strategy of checks and balances, it will inevitably weaken the Navy's original strength.

Especially considering Momousagi and Chaton, who will be taking over the positions of Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Akainu in the next term.

This truly displeased Mazsaint.

Admittedly, Momousagi and Chaton also possess considerable strength and have made significant achievements.

Compared to the three champions of the previous session, he pales in comparison.

This is because they have never experienced the baptism of fighting against truly powerful enemies, and their strength is among the lowest of all the generals.

Even in Mazsaint's eyes, these two could hardly be called true generals; at best, they were only quasi-generals.

It is absurd and laughable that someone with such meager strength would be awarded the position of Admiral.

Especially considering that their future adversaries would be the Rockefeller Kingdom, the three pirate emperors, and the Revolutionary Army—all extremely ruthless and brutal individuals—this only makes the absurdity of the matter even more apparent!

Among these figures, there are many who can be considered top-tier experts, far beyond what Momousagi and Chaton can contend with.

This is also the reason why Mazsaint felt so dissatisfied.

If it weren't for Yixiao's sudden appearance, no matter how indignant he was, Maz Saint might have had no choice but to swallow his anger and accept reality.

With the dazzling appearance of Issho, the situation suddenly changed dramatically, and Maz's concept also underwent a radical transformation.

"Of the three admirals to be appointed next in the Navy, apart from Kizaru remaining unchanged, we are familiar with the candidates submitted by the Navy, Momousagi and Chaton. While their strength is certainly considerable, they are still far from being among the truly top-tier fighters. Forcing them to assume the admiral positions would likely only harm them in the end!"

Mazsan made no attempt to hide his true feelings.

Upon hearing this, the other four Elders immediately understood the profound meaning behind Maz's words.

It turns out that Masei didn't take Momousagi and Chaton's strength seriously at all.

In fact, it wasn't just Masei who thought so; the other four Elders also found Momousagi and Chaton's fighting strength unconvincing.

If time could be turned back, the Five Elders might have been more optimistic about the strength displayed by the new generation of naval admirals, Momousagi and Chaton.
