Chapter 402: End of the Military Parade and What's Next

On the main ship of the naval fleet, Zhan Guo stood facing the wind, and Vice Admiral Tsuru reported slowly:

"Sakaski and the others have all completed their missions and are returning home. Will the next step be to arrange for the new Shichibukai to settle in these islands?"

Zhan Guo nodded slightly. The name of this naval parade was still in the name of perfecting the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea, although the Seven Warlords of the Sea were not the protagonists at all in the whole process.

In this parade that will shock the Grand Line, Sengoku shows the world for the first time the iron hand of the navy and shows the Five Elder Stars the now-reinvented tough navy.

Even though the Holy Land Marijoa is still the superior of Marinford, it can no longer order the navy around as it did in the past!

The new era is called the Era of Great Rise, and the new navy is called the Navy of Justice, and it is no longer a lackey of the World Government.

Lieutenant General He waved his hand to disperse the adjutants and entourage around him, and asked Zhan Guo alone:

"After cleaning up the paradise this time, have you thought about how to explain to the Five Elders?"

Zhan Guo's face was not as sad as He expected, but he was calm and composed. The majesty of the Buddha was calm and solemn. Zhan Guo answered calmly:

"Explain? About the military parade, or about Gion."

"All."

In the recent short period of time, the navy has undergone a series of dramatic changes. The starting point of everything can be traced back to the time when CP Chief Thor flashed to Marinford. Enel was ordered to investigate the navy. Under the open command of the Five Elders and the actual command of Leon Lex, the navy headquarters was investigated inside and out, and a large number of local kingdom factions were overthrown.

After Enel detained the traitorous general and left Marinford, Sengoku began to take action. A supreme marshal order was issued, summoning the Seven Warlords of the Sea from all directions to gather in Marinford. Under the pretext of improving the Seven Warlords system and planning territorial waters for the new Seven Warlords of the Sea, he took the opportunity to launch an unprecedented naval parade.

Then, he quickly cleansed the paradise with the force of thunder, surrounded and attacked the reinforcements, cleansed several pirate islands, and at the same time, he also cleared the territorial waters for the Beasts Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, Snag Pirates and other forces as the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The only accident during this process was Gion's intrusion, but Sengoku was not worried about this matter, let alone how to explain it to the Five Elders.

Zhan Guo was even prepared to tell the truth when the Five Elders questioned him afterwards.

That’s right! Gion did join the Navy’s parade midway, and did participate in the Navy’s fleet cruise throughout the entire process, and did so in the name of Admiral Taotu, so what’s the matter? ~

If you have the guts, go and question Gion, go and question Leon Lex. Do you have the guts, do you have the guts?

Zhan Guo remembered it very clearly. In the great war in early 1498, at the critical moment when Leon Lex announced to the world the independence of the three seas, the former world's highest authority Jupiter refuted Lex on the spot, but to no avail. He was killed on the spot by the Golden Lion Red Earl and others, and his body was broken into five pieces. He was deader than dead.

The Holy Land is no longer a high and mighty existence, and the Warring States period does not want to give them so much face.

A military parade is to show the momentum and military might, and the simplest and most direct way to do that is to kill!

This is exactly the case. At sunset that afternoon, the World Economic News Agency began to work overtime to print the headline of the naval parade. The title was:

"The Navy in the Age of Great Rise! The Seven Warlords of the Sea are Full!!!"

Morgans is also quite knowledgeable about media gimmicks. He put the navy first, but did not mention the actual situation of the naval parade. He put the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the latter to show the superficial name of this naval operation. Doing so not only reported the real intelligence to a certain extent, but also saved face for the navy and the World Government.

However, all the real high-level forces in this area are aware of the inside story of the naval parade. Sengoku is putting pressure on the Holy Land in response to the Five Elders sending the CP chief to purge Marinford!

Within a few days, new public opinion enveloped this sea and the great route.

……

Donghai·Roger Town.

Smoker had grown into a teenager. Although it was still a bit young to join the army at a teenager, Smoker still came despite everyone's opposition.

At the military registration office, the man at the conscription office saw the young Smoker and avoided him as if he saw an annoying fly:

"Hey kid, you've been here twelve times this week, haven't you? If I say no, it means no. You haven't mastered any kind of Haki, and you can't join the navy just by relying on natural power. Go back and practice more. Anyway, I've reserved a mysterious spot for you."

Smoker didn't answer, but grinned. The next moment, his right arm, which was shrouded in smoke, slowly solidified, and a layer of Armament Haki as thin as a cicada's wing covered Smoker's right arm! !

Although this layer of domineering aura is extremely weak, almost nonexistent, not everyone in this sea is a peerless monster like Douglas Barrett, a congenital Armament Haki holy body. At Smoker's age, he has already awakened Armament Haki through his own exploration. He is already a rare genius among millions! !

Even if Lex is still alive, it will be the same.

The uncle at the conscription office was stunned:

"You kid actually!~"

Without waiting for the uncle at the recruitment office to react, Smoker suddenly smiled crookedly and attacked the uncle directly!

"smog. White fist!"

A swift and powerful fist was ejected from the smoke and attacked the uncle directly. The uncle in the recruitment office was not an ordinary East China Sea Navy soldier, but an elite soldier who retired from the headquarters due to injury a few years ago!

The uncle grinned and said, "Interesting, you want to try it with me."

歘——

Compared with Smoker's thin Armament Haki, the Armament Haki of the uncle from the recruitment office was more than ten times more domineering. This was the domineering aura that was truly precipitated through fighting in the sea, blood and fire. He threw an ordinary straight punch at Smoker's face, but the next moment, the young Smoker's eyes flashed red, and his perception was instantly enhanced by dozens of times!

Observation Haki! ~

bass--

The sound of the fist rubbing against the air gradually dissipated, and Smoker perfectly avoided the punch.

The man at the recruitment office was shocked, but then his sallow stubble showed an unconcealable joy, and his eager heart for talent instantly became active:

"You kid!~ Our Rogue Town can finally produce a truly powerful navy!"

It’s not that Rogue Town has never produced a strong man, but that strong man was called Gol D. Roger.

And now, the uncle at the recruiting office saw the prototype of a powerful navy in Smoker.

Unpolished gem! ~

"You've been complaining about how the East China Sea is weak and you want to go to the Grand Line. Well, I'll personally take you to Marinford tomorrow! I'll recommend you to join the elite training camp that doesn't kill generals!!"

Smoker was stunned for a moment, and then he was at a loss. Although he knew that he would be able to join the navy after comprehending the dual-color domineering, he did not expect that he would be able to directly join the world-famous elite training camp of the headquarters!

Go straight to the point and challenge the world's strong men in one step!

The old man smiled at the young Smoker: "Hahaha!~ What are you standing there for? Why don't you go home and pack your bags?"

"Huh? Oh, oh! Yeah, pack your bags!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Smoker turned into a handful of white smoke and quickly disappeared.

The uncle at the recruitment office looked at Smoker's departing back and muttered to himself:

"Although you are a genius, a genius like you is nothing in the headquarters... I hope you can withstand the pressure."

He suddenly thought of something. He thought of the CP Thor investigation incident that caused a lot of controversy in the Marine Headquarters Marinford not long ago. That young CP Chief Thor, like Smoker, was a natural ability user. What a genius he must be!

He even thought of the most important event on the sea recently, the naval parade. He heard that Admiral Taotu visited the headquarters midway, causing a huge sensation. How stunning and beautiful would the youngest and most powerful female ceiling in Qinghai be?

Qinghai is vast and grand. Smoker may be a talented young man among thousands of people in the East China Sea, but he is only one among thousands.

……

Paradise·Navy Fleet——

"Sister Tsuru, Sister Tsuru, look, Kuzan and Kaji are fighting again!~"

Gion looked like she didn't mind any trouble and was clapping and cheering on the side. This kind of excitement was her favorite.

No one in this ocean can do anything to her. In a sense, the moment Rex reached the top of the world, she was already the person with the highest status in this ocean.

Vice Admiral Tsuru turned his head slightly to look over. He didn't know why Kuzan and Kake were fighting. Of course, the intensity of the fight was not very high. They were just some sniper moves that focused on the lower three routes.

Vice Admiral Crane asked, "Why are they fighting?"

Gion was smiling. After leaving the headquarters for a while, no one had changed. Kuzan was still the passionate and righteous young man (Aokiji was very passionate when he was young), and Kake was still the lecherous and honest man. No one had changed.

"I don't know either, but from what I heard from their argument, it seems like they were both unhappy with the other's way of treating pirates. Kake is Sakaski's policy of killing all pirates, while Kuzan is more peaceful."

The factional struggles within the navy have not stopped for hundreds of years, and the fundamental reason is different ideologies.

Even if they fight against pirates for the sake of justice, the methods will be different depending on the philosophy.

Whereas Sakaski likes to kill without mercy, Kuzan is more inclined to conduct benevolent arrests, giving priority to civilians.

Today's Kake is far from the honest man who has good relations with everyone he will be twenty years later, but is now a hawkish minion who follows Sakaski to kill pirates. Kuzan is no longer the sea bicycle enthusiast who wears an eyepatch all year round in later generations, but is now a passionate and righteous young man who worships Garp.

The navy is still young, and so are we.

Vice Admiral Tsuru didn't pay any attention to the two funny guys, but smiled at Gion affectionately:

"Why, do you want to join in the fight between them?"

"Really? Really? Can I join in?"

When it comes to bullying the weak, Gion is not sleepy at all. She is happy to bully Kuzan and Kake.

He laughed dumbly: "You, you are already the governor of the sea, why can't you grow up?"

"Because Sister He is also very young~"

Gion speaks very sweetly.

"Hmmmm."

Crane: "Okay, we should prepare to return to Marinford. Do you want to go with us?"

Gion: "Of course. Anyway, Lex left me alone again, and I don't know where he went to fool around with my second brother and the others."

He: "It's just right. I came to the headquarters to discuss the South China Sea cooperation so that the headquarters can shut up the Holy Land."

Gion smiled sweetly: "No problem, I can still make the decision on this matter."
