Chapter 302 Navy Promotion Ceremony x Warring States

This could be hidden from others, but not from Marco, the ship's doctor.

At this moment, a panicked voice sounded: "Dad! The Big Mom Pirates have had friction with us at the border."

"Team Eleven requests support!"

Hearing this, Whitebeard stood up suddenly.

"Kulala~, Charlotte Linlin is really restless." Whitebeard laughed twice, and then said loudly: "Guys, let's set sail. Let's go teach Charlotte Linlin a lesson."

"Oh~." The pirates shouted in unison.

Then, the Moby Dick sailed into the vast ocean.

Cake Island.

"Well, well, well, it looks like the navy is going to expand its power to compete with us." Charlotte Lingling threw down the newspaper in her hand and picked up a cream puff and stuffed it into her mouth.

Then, she asked, "Katakuri, how's it going? Did you get the Snake Fruit Island?"

Katakuri heard this, stepped out, bowed slightly and said: "No!"

"Hmm~" Charlotte Lingling's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Katakuri explained calmly: "When Daifuku and Owen occupied Snake Fruit Island, they were obstructed by the 11th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Seeing that Charlotte Linlin's expression remained unchanged, Katakuri asked tentatively: "Mom, what should we do next?"

"Well~well~, is there anything else to say? What pirate would give up what he wants?" Charlotte Linlin grinned, not caring at all about being hostile to the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Yes!" Katakuri nodded coolly.

Ghost Island.

Kaido just glanced at today's newspaper and threw it aside.

He had no interest in the internal affairs of the Navy.

"Boss Kaido, people from the World Government are here again." Plague Queen walked over, shaking his fat body.

Kaido took a gulp of wine and said with a bit of boredom: "Send them away."

Kaido has no good feelings towards the World Government, and will not make a deal with them.

At this time, Jin stepped forward to stop him and said, "Brother Kaido, wait a moment!"

"Although I hate the World Government very much, by cooperating with them, we can sell the weapons we make in Wano Country at a high price."

“We might as well try working with them.”

"Even if it doesn't work, we still have the initiative firmly in our hands."

Kaido shook his dizzy head and said indifferently: "In that case, I'll leave it to you, Jin."

"Yes! Brother Kaido." Flame Disaster Jinn agreed and left.

......

Time is like running water, fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, it was November 1508, 11 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Today, the weather at the Naval Headquarters is sunny and cloudless.

Early in the morning, the square in front of the Navy Headquarters building was bustling with activity.

The navy is making final preparations.

As time gradually came to the morning, teams of naval soldiers, led by their superiors, entered the square in an orderly manner.

Looking down from the sky, the naval soldiers are in high spirits and their formations are extremely neat.

The guests in the audience were amazed when they saw this scene.

"The navy is worthy of being the overlord of the sea. This scene...this momentum..." one person praised.

Then, the audience could hear people talking.

Most of the people who were able to watch the Navy promotion ceremony up close today were reporters, nobles, and businessmen invited by the Navy.

No matter what they think in their hearts, now on the navy's territory, they are not stingy in praising the navy.

"Look! The top naval officers have come up to the platform." Suddenly, someone pointed at the empty platform and shouted.

Everyone turned their eyes to where the man was pointing.

Marshal Kong walked up to the podium, followed closely by Admiral Sengoku, then the navy hero Garp, the navy chief of staff Tsuru, followed by three monster vice admirals of the navy, and finally Doberman, Spider Demon and a dozen other rear admirals.

The whole place suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

They all looked at the senior naval officers standing on the stage.

In an instant, thunderous cheers broke out in the square.

"Marshal Kong!"

"Warring States General!"

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

"..."

Marshal Kong took two steps forward, took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms, and shouted, "Silence!"

In an instant, the scene seemed to have pressed the pause button and became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The Admiral fully demonstrated the Navy's vigorous and resolute attitude towards work.

He said directly: "The naval rank promotion ceremony will begin now."

As soon as these words were spoken, cheers rang out again.

Marshal Kong pressed his finger briefly, then said, "The first thing to be done is the ceremony for conferring the rank of Vice Admiral."

"Flying Squirrel, Dalmatian, Ghost Spider, Stolobe, Burning Mountain, Doberman..." Kong read out more than a dozen names in a row, and finally said, "Please come forward!"

So, Ghost Spider and others took two steps forward.

They stood in front of tens of thousands of navy officers and were scrutinized by them.

Then they all turned around and came face to face with Marshal Kong and the others.

"Because of your bravery in killing the enemy and your outstanding military exploits, I hereby award you the rank of lieutenant general." Marshal Kong said with a smile.

"Yes!" Ghost Spider and others stood at attention and saluted.

Afterwards, Marshal Kong took the military badge handed to him by the staff and put it on the vice admiral himself.

A few minutes later, Marshal Kong looked at the dozen or so newly promoted vice admirals and nodded with satisfaction.

He encouraged them: "I hope you will continue to contribute to the Navy and uphold justice in the future."

"Yes!" Ghost Spider and other newly promoted lieutenant generals stood at attention and saluted again.

After the ceremony, they began to leave in an orderly manner.

There was a sudden burst of warm applause and cheers in the square.

Then Kuzan, Sakaski and Borsalino stepped forward and first accepted the inspection of tens of thousands of naval soldiers. Then Marshal Kong put on the badge symbolizing the admiral of the navy for them, and also put on the cloak of justice used exclusively by the admiral.

The moment Kuzan, Sakaski and Borsalino became admirals of the navy, thunderous cheers broke out from the audience.

"Great! The navy finally has three admirals again."

"Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, what beautiful titles."

"With three great admirals, let's see how arrogant those pirates will be in the future."

"..."

Everyone felt their blood boiling and they roared loudly to vent their excitement.

Finally, Marshal Kong shouted again: "Silence!"

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, he continued, "The promotion ceremony for the Admiral will be held next."

According to the procedure, Zhan Guo first accepted the inspection of tens of thousands of naval soldiers, then was awarded the medal by the former Navy Marshal himself, and then a commissioner sent by the World Government read out the Navy Marshal's letter of appointment in public.

After Sengoku bowed and took it, he took the Den Den Mushi and declared his ideals of justice to the naval soldiers and the world on the spot.

After everything was settled, tens of thousands of naval soldiers were suddenly excited.

From then on, the navy entered the era of the Warring States Period.
