Chapter 293 Shanks and Zigg

The news that one of the Four Emperors' groups, the Beasts Pirates, was destroyed by the Seven Admirals of the Navy exploded throughout the world like a bolt of lightning that cut through the darkness.

What followed was the replacement of the Navy Marshal.

When people learned that the new marshal was the former navy admiral Black Dragon, they almost felt that it was a matter of course.

However, the introduction of Jiger's identity left everyone dumbfounded.

Celestial Dragon, Figalando Giger!

Ordinary people don’t know what the surname Figalando means. They only need to know one thing, that is, the legendary navy admiral Ziger is actually a Celestial Dragon!

Therefore, he was given the title of Tianlong Marshal!

.....

Naval Headquarters, Marineland,

Military flags were flying in the square, and all the naval officers and soldiers gathered there, looking fanatically at the tallest building in the center.

Today is the coronation ceremony of the new Navy Marshal, Marshal Tianlong... no, the inauguration ceremony.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Giger, wearing a white suit and a navy cloak with black sleeves, stood on the podium. Even Sengoku, the naval marshal who had not yet officially stepped down, could only stand behind him at this moment.

Even the one who gave Jiger the title was not Sengoku, but one of the Five Elder Stars, Satan.

That’s right, in order to express its importance to Ziger, the new Marshal, the World Government directly sent the Five Elders, who are at the pinnacle of world power.

Zhan Guo stood behind Jiger, looking in a trance as Satan handed the golden shoulder straps representing the naval marshal to Jiger.

Compared to Giger, his inauguration ceremony as marshal was just a simple formality.

Zhan Guo had also been to Marijoa to meet the Five Elders, and the impression the Five Elders gave him was that they were serious and like five robots.

And now, Satan was not far in front of him, looking at Jiger with a smile on his face, and the word "satisfaction" was almost written on his face.

He raised his hand and patted Zhan Guo's back, whispering,

"Zhan Guo, maybe Ji Ge is indeed more suitable to be the admiral of the navy than you. Only he can truly bring out the power of the navy."

Zhan Guo nodded silently, he also knew this in his heart.

On the one hand, Zig can easily obtain the full support of the World Government; on the other hand, Zig has unparalleled reputation within the Navy.

No matter which point it is, Zhan Guo admits that he cannot compare with Ji Ge.

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo sighed and said,

"I am indeed old."

Shortly after the investiture ceremony, Zigg left Marinford alone.

......

The second half of the new world,

On the Red Force, Shanks stood at the bow, holding a newspaper in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. He looked at the photo of Zigg in the newspaper, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

Jesus Bu walked slowly from behind him. When he saw the newspaper in Shanks' hand, he gritted his teeth and said,

"Black Dragon..."

Shanks took a big gulp of liquor and said softly,

"Now we have to call him Marshal Tianlong."

Jesus held the gun tightly in his hand and said,

"A man as cruel and ruthless as him actually became a naval admiral. This world is becoming more and more incomprehensible!"

In his heart, Shanks actually did not agree with Jesus Bu's words. In his opinion, the navy and pirates are two forces that are incompatible with each other. Is it necessary to be merciful to the enemy?

However, he just thought about it and did not say it out loud. After all, Jesus Bu's son Usopp died at the hands of Zigg, and his head was twisted off by Zigg.

Shanks still remembers the scene when Jesus burst into tears after hearing the news. The irrational Jesus wanted to seek revenge on Zigg, but was finally stopped by him by knocking him unconscious with the hilt of the sword.

Beckman leaned against the side of the ship, a cigarette in his mouth, and said in a deep voice,

"It's hard to believe that today's admiral of the navy is actually a celestial dragon."

Shanks stared at the bottle shaking in his hand and murmured,

"Yeah, he's such a hard-to-understand man..."

Beckman raised his head and looked at Shanks in confusion. Every time when talking about Zigg, Shanks always behaved strangely.

He thought for a moment and continued,

"Kaido and his Beasts Pirates have been wiped out by the Navy. It seems that the World Government no longer cares about the so-called balance."

Shanks responded calmly.

"That's because he's back, and the Navy is what it was, just like it was twenty-two years ago."

Beckman's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He looked into Shanks' eyes and said in a deep voice,

"So will we be the next to disappear?"

To Beckman's surprise, Shanks said without even thinking,

"will not."

Beckman was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking,

"Shanks, how can you be so sure?"

Shanks took another sip of wine and said,

"If he wanted to, I would have died more than once twenty-two years ago. The first time I saw him was in Edwo Sea, and he saved me once."

When these words came out, the members of the Red Hair Pirates on the deck were all stunned. Jesus frowned and said,

"Boss, what is your relationship with him?"

Shanks threw the empty bottle aside and said,

"I want to know, too. This question has been bothering me for many years."

As soon as the words fell, a mocking voice sounded from above the crowd.

"Then why didn't you ever ask me?"

Everyone was startled when they heard the voice, and Shanks was like being struck by lightning. His body trembled for a moment, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked upwards.

He saw Jiger sitting on the top of the mast, looking down at him with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Jiger, Beckman and others were all shocked, a chill came to his heart and he exclaimed,

"How is it possible? When did he appear there?!"

You have to know that the people on the Red Hair Ship are all strong people who have practiced physical skills and domineering. Not to mention Shanks, who has cultivated the "Observation Killing", just look at the deputy captain Beckman and the sniper Jesus, both of them have cultivated their observation Haki to the top level, but they still did not notice Zigg on the mast.

Shanks looked solemnly at the faint black substance covering Zigg's body. He concluded that it was this substance that blocked their perception of observation Haki.

After a brief moment of shock, Jesus Bu's face showed a strong hatred. He picked up the sniper rifle and fired.

click!

The sound of bullets being loaded was heard, and Jesus pulled the trigger, firing several bullets in succession.

Then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the bullet wrapped in armed color domineering passed through Jiger's body unhindered.

Shanks finally came to his senses, his pupils shrank, and he shouted,

"stop it now!"
