Chapter 503: Inflated Navy Ranking

Inside the Dressrosa Navy Temporary Base—

The top naval officials were suspicious for no other reason than that this Qinghai Star List was too weird.

At least for the navy, it is definitely weird.

In the ranking of the navy's strong men, except for Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, the seats of the other generals are slightly higher.

This is not an illusion or a delusion.

The Star Ranking was compiled by humans. It was a list that Roy and Gion led a professional team to conduct a detailed analysis of the melee on the Star Ranking.

Since Roy and Gion can be sorted out, there is no reason why the navy with its intelligence capabilities and think tank cannot be analyzed.

Yes, the Navy and even the World Government have also set up professional departments in the past few days, working overtime to analyze the melee on the Star Ranking to come up with a relatively objective Star Ranking list.

He stared at the newly released Qinghai Star Ranking with a frown:

"I was defeated by Lily of the Sky Pirates in a melee, yet I'm ranked one place higher than her. If this is just an isolated case, then the rankings of everyone present seem a bit inflated, like Sakaski, for example."

"exist."

Sakaski respected Vice Admiral Tsuru very much, even though his strength had already surpassed that of the older generation of navy. However, it was well known that Tsuru's greatest strength was not his strength as a candidate admiral, but his outstanding wisdom and pure justice.

Crane's eyes never left the list. "Your ranking is twenty-eighth. According to our analysis, this seat probably belongs to King Kamille of Pentres, or Monrara Pepe of the Sky Pirates. Your ranking is probably thirtieth. However, the twenty-eighth seat belongs to Sakaski, while Monrara Pepe and Kamille are twenty-ninth and thirtieth respectively."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals except Borsalino and Kake looked at each other intently, and they suddenly felt that the situation was serious.

Zhan Guo never spoke. He seemed to have thought of something, but remained silent.

He looked around at the generals and was about to continue his analysis when a carefree laugh interrupted their thoughts:

"Ahahaha!~ This is great news! It means our navy is becoming increasingly powerful. Even the evil Lex kid wouldn't dare lower our ranking."

After these words were spoken, Borsalino and Kaji, who had originally been indifferent to the matter, finally looked over. It was not for any other reason, but because Garp, this tough guy, was too outspoken.

'Evil Lex Imp'~

If you had said this ten years ago, when Rex had just set sail, Vice Admiral Garp, no one might have said anything, after all, you were a famous figure.

But that was in the past. Now you keep calling me 'evil Lex kid'. Don't even mention whether you're scared or not. Even we ordinary sailors are a little scared when we hear it.

In the past, people had no concrete concept of Lex's strength and influence. They only knew that Lex's strength was the best in the ocean, and his influence seemed to be the best in the ocean as well. But this was just word of mouth, and there was no measure of the specific extent of Lex's influence.

But after this battle between the two lists, this time facing the entire live broadcast and public competition in front of the entire sea, everyone finally understood.

What does it mean that there are many strong men as dogs and generals everywhere?

It turns out that in front of the true mighty sea master, ordinary generals are not even worthy of sitting at the table for dinner.

The battle for a spot on the Sky Ranking, Golden Lion vs. Garin Saint, was objectively the first battle in Qinghai's history between the kings of the sea and the entire ocean. It completely refreshed the world's three views, and even refreshed the three views of those lieutenant generals and general candidates who thought they were strong.

What everyone has always thought of as strong is the top three-color domineering, the awakened devil fruit ability, the realm of a great swordsman who is able to swing a super flying slash, and the awakened physical master who can return life.

but--

The number one swordsman in eight hundred years, cutting through the sky with one sword!

The realm of God, the domineering power of the king, changes the world!

The Floating Fruit·Second Awakening, All-Powerful!

The Flying Admiral, Shiki the Golden Lion, who possessed no weaknesses, was so terrifyingly invincible that the world could hardly imagine him, yet he was only ranked fifth on the Sky Ranking!

Even Garin Sheng, who was narrowly defeated by the Golden Lion, displayed basic dominance and swordsmanship skills that were far ahead of ordinary generals, not to mention that Garin Sheng's trump card was the terrifying ability beyond common sense - the Devil Fruit·Hellfire Serpent Clone·Jörmungandr Form.

Most of the naval generals present admired Garp very much. Putting aside the title of naval hero, no one had ever doubted Garp's strength. He was absolutely extremely powerful and could be said to be the true foundation of the navy.

But even such a powerful Garp, let alone the Sky List, is only ranked fourth on the Star List.

So, when Cap casually said the words 'evil Lex brat', everyone in the audience was shocked.

Garp is not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death. Even as righteous marines who do not care about life and death, they do not want to die in vain. Just because of Garp's nonsense, they drag 99% of the people present to die.

Even if Lex himself doesn't care, the strongest people on the Sky List and half of the Star List under Lex's command are enough to destroy the navy in seconds.

Garp realized that something was wrong with everyone and said nonchalantly: "What? It's obviously——"

Bang! ——

Before Garp could finish his words, he was knocked away along with the door by a huge Buddha shock wave from Zhan Guo.

Zhan Guo stood up and announced:

"Alright everyone, we'll discuss the Star Rankings after we return to Marinford. Regarding the competition between the two lists, except for those who intend to continue to fight for a seat, the rest of you will return to Marinford and the various branches. If you encounter pirates along the way, you can fight them normally without worrying about the impact of the two lists."

"Yes!~"

A group of naval generals responded.

In fact, Zhan Guo probably already had the answer and guess about the inflated ranking in his mind, but he couldn't and didn't dare to say it.

Even if he is the Buddha's Warring States, even if he is the Navy Admiral, even if he is also the fifth super strong man on the Star List.

Just like a few years ago, when CP President Thunder God Enel was investigating the case of the traitor in Marinford, even though he had vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with Enel's identity, he just couldn't say it, and he felt helpless and had no way to say it.

Zhan Guo had too many things on his mind.

Not only Zhan Guo, but everyone on this sea is like this.

In fact, everyone is in an "intermediate state" with pressure from above and push from below. How to deal with the above, deal with the below, and how to maintain a suitable "degree" are problems that trouble most people throughout their lives.

Even in a position like Im, he has the core leaders of the World Government below him, the Nika prophecy that may come at any time above him, and even the pressure from Lex.

Even Lex himself has countless people's expectations and yearning for a free future that need to be realized by him, and he also has the pressure of facing the future and dealing with historical problems from above.

Everyone is in it, and everyone wants to escape from it.

The emergence of the two lists has further highlighted this issue.

The strong ones who are on the two lists, the strong ones who have never been on the two lists, and the ambitious people who are eager to be on the two lists and replace them...

With the release of the two lists, Qinghai’s era of great rise has reached a decisive epoch-making node.
