Chapter 259 Drawing the Sword
"Also, Gion-chan, your appointment letter to the rank of lieutenant general will be issued in a few days, so be prepared in advance."
After talking about Gion's talent, Cyborg Sora turned around and told another good news.
Gion was a little confused: "But... my qualifications——"
Before Gion finished speaking, Zefa responded:
"Don't worry about your qualifications. You have been with me as the chief assistant of the Navy Elite Training Camp. This qualification is sufficient. You should know that no matter what kind of military merits the elites who come out of the training camp have, you will have a share. Because you can be considered their teacher."
His voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable firmness.
Hearing this, Vice Admiral Tsuru on the side could not help but nod slightly. Zefa was right. Gion had been tied to the Navy Elite Training Camp. All the generals and officers who graduated from here in the future would have to owe a favor to Gion. Such qualifications could be said to be extremely high.
This is why Zefa’s status in the navy was particularly high in later generations - because almost all the generals were his students.
And Gion, now also enjoying this treatment with Zephyr, is like a pearl illuminated by Zephyr's light, emitting its own light.
"OK then."
Gion didn't feel anything special about his rocket-like promotion.
She knew that her strength and talent were part of the reason, but the real reason was none other than Lex.
Without Rex, Gion still knew his own worth.
"There is one last thing I need to trouble you with, Gion."
"Marshal Kong, please speak."
"Can we contact Lex privately? Our senior navy officials have something they want to discuss with him. Of course, it's a personal meeting, not related to any forces."
In fact, Cyborg Sora had asked Gion for help with this matter not long ago, but Gion just pretended to be stupid and got away with it.
And this time, Cyborg Sora said it again in front of Sengoku, Zephyr, Garp, and Tsuru, and Gion was too embarrassed to refuse.
However, there is one thing that Gion can still ask:
"Then I wonder what Marshal Kong wants to talk to Lex about? If the purpose is not clear, I'm afraid Lex will not agree to meet with you in a personal capacity."
Sora hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak frankly:
"It's about some matters between the navy and the government, but it can be a private meeting between the two parties in their personal capacity. Don't let Mary Geoise know."
Except for Gion, all the people present were top brass in the navy, so they knew what Steel Bone Sora was thinking. After listening to him, Gion had a rough guess in her mind, and she smiled politely:
"Well, don't worry Marshal Kong, I will ask Lex. Of course, I can't guarantee that he will agree to the meeting."
"It's okay, please."
Such a scene is extremely rare in the entire naval history. A dignified naval marshal is polite to a naval rear admiral.
It is because Lex is behind Gion, otherwise, with Cyborg Sora's pride, ordinary Celestial Dragons would not treat him so politely.
……
The royal families who had concluded the World Conference left Marijoa one after another.
By passing through the huge Rashomon built by the Lex Space Fruit, you can directly reach the Red Port of the Red Earth Continent, leave by ship and return to your respective countries.
This world conference was more exciting than any other before. Of course, the most exciting issue was the proposal on naval expenditures.
Anyone with a little common sense can see the huge impact behind this proposal.
From then on, the military expenses of local naval branches were no longer allocated uniformly by Marinford, but jointly by the local government and Marinford. This fundamentally changed the world government's vertical rule over the sea and divided Marinford's control over the four seas and even Paradise.
Moreover, this directly reduced the amount of gold that the kingdom had to hand over from heaven, and to a certain extent strengthened the local strength.
If this continues, the situation of warlords in Qinghai and local expansion will reach an unprecedented peak. By then, the chaos in the sea will reach a level not seen in 800 years.
Let’s not talk about that for now.
After dealing with the meeting of gods within the Celestial Dragons, Lex immediately returned to the New World.
He first met with a group of dark emperors from various fields of the underground world and instructed them to expand into the paradise. He then explained some important matters to Roy who was stationed in the Dandis Empire and Gut who was working on Ant Island.
After returning from a year of secret training on the moon, Lex has almost no free time.
First he presided over the World Conference, then dealt with the Conference of Gods, and now he has to arrange the upcoming business blueprint for expansion, and then he has to urge Vegapunk of the West Sky Summit Research Institute to speed up its research.
Even the last time he accompanied Gion was during the fragmented time of the World Conference. He stayed with Gion in Marijoa for a few days. Apart from that, Lex didn't have that much free time.
This is Lex's daily life, covering almost all major events in this sea.
This is exactly the life he chose. Choosing an ordinary and invincible life is certainly comfortable, but choosing to overthrow everything and shatter the life of the times, wouldn’t it be more exciting?
Just as Lex left the Dandis Empire where Roy was, he traveled through a different space and happened to meet the Roger Pirates sailing on the blue sea.
At this time, Roger's pirate group had just left Wano Country not long ago and was planning to return to Paradise to travel the Grand Line again and collect the missing historical texts.
Rex was in a different space. He first observed the Roger Pirates, especially Kozuki Oden, for a while, and then the next moment -
A blue light flashed on the deck of the Oro Jackson, and a tall blond man stepped out from the void.
"Hey!~Roger! And everyone else, Sasibulida!~"
Lex politely greeted everyone in Roger's pirate group.
Everyone was immediately attracted by the arrival of Lex and laughed:
"Ahahahaha! ~ Distinguished guest! ~"
"Oh hahaha!~ What a rare visitor! It's Brother Lex~"
"Sassy, Lex"
The steady and mature blond Rayleigh walked over with a smile. No one was surprised that Lex appeared out of thin air from another dimension, because that was Lex's style. Every time he appeared, it was unexpected.
Only Kozuki Oden, who had just boarded the ship, pointed at Rex excitedly:
"You you you!~~ You appeared out of nowhere!!~ Hey, Roger!~"
Seeing that Kozuki Oden looked like he had never seen the world, everyone in Roger's pirate group burst into laughter.
"Ahahaha! ~ Oden, let me introduce you to this truly remarkable man, Leon Lex!"
Roger put his arm around Oden's shoulder and smiled at Lex.
Oden's jaw dropped, his eyes lit up:
"You-Are you the Lex who is known as the strongest in the world?!~"
"If there isn't another Lex on this ship, it should be me. However, I have never claimed to be the strongest in the world."
Oden instantly drew out Ame-no-Hazakhan and Enma, and rushed towards Lex excitedly:
"Hahaha!~ That's amazing! I know I'm definitely no match for you, but I can't miss the chance to draw my sword against the world's strongest!~"
