Chapter 543

But when they reacted.

"Marshal, this cannot be agreed to. The Seven Warlords of the Sea, it sounds good, isn't it just recruiting pirates and letting pirates execute the justice of the navy? Is this still justice?"

Several vice admirals immediately stood up to oppose.

Kong looked at the generals who stood up one by one and the dissatisfaction on their faces.

Kong felt that his authority was challenged.

It seems that this defeat has ruined his prestige in the navy.

Kong lowered his head and said nothing.

Sengoku on the right waved his hand after seeing this.

"Sit down and listen to the marshal."

The generals still listened to Sengoku's words. Although they were a little dissatisfied, they still sat down, and the expression on their faces did not change at all.

Looking at the marshal, they wanted the marshal to give an explanation.

"Huh!"

Kong took a deep breath.

"I know everyone is unhappy, but so am I. The failure of this operation has caused the navy to suffer serious injuries. All of this is caused by my wrong decision, and the impact is that the navy has lost control of the sea. It takes time to restore the navy's former glory, and the World Government can't wait that long. During this period, the Seven Warlords of the Sea is the solution that the World Government came up with to help the navy suppress the sea!"

Sora looked at the many pairs of eyes looking at him and said earnestly.

But Sora's words were obviously useless.

Everyone was angry now and their faces were extremely ugly.

Bang!

"When did our navy need pirates to help!"

Zeffa punched the table and asked with his head down.

The suppressed anger in his heart made Sengoku, who was sitting next to him, look at him sideways.

Sengoku put his hand on Zefa's shoulder, pressed it, and signaled Zefa not to be too excited.

"Then tell me what to do? How can the navy suppress the sea? Is it the five or six thousand defeated soldiers in the port? Or can you clear the garbage on the sea? If you can, I will give up the position of the Navy Admiral!"

Sora was obviously annoyed.

This Zephyr had been refuting him from the beginning, which made him very angry.

"What are you talking about, Marshal? Calm down. Zephyr is also considering the Navy!"

Hearing the Marshal say this, Crane hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"He is considering the Navy, don't I consider the Navy? I have tried very hard to fight for it, but this is the order of the Five Elders of the World Government, and this order was proposed by the World Government three years ago. I opposed it at that time, but now the situation of the Navy is not optimistic. Our Navy has no power to choose!"

Sora slammed the table and roared word by word.

Sora's words silenced everyone.

Crane, Sengoku, Zephyr, and Garp all lowered their heads and did not speak.

Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru and others didn't even have the qualifications to interrupt, and they all listened silently in the back.

The meeting room was silent for a long time, no one spoke, and no one made any movements.

Zephyr lowered his head with a gloomy look.

Kong looked at the faces of everyone present.

Except for Zephyr and a few more radical generals who had some struggles on their faces, the faces of other generals were expressionless.

This made Kong feel relieved.

"Zeffer, I know you are dissatisfied, but our navy is also in trouble now. I take full responsibility for the failure of this operation. I have submitted my resignation to the World Government. What the Navy needs at this time is recovery and stability. After accumulating enough strength, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will be nothing more than a chess piece that can be discarded at will, and the World Government is also a stopgap measure."

Kong looked at Zephyr earnestly and said.

Zephyr looked up at Kong's expression and nodded slightly.

Zephyr compromised, and there was no way he would not compromise.

The Navy no longer has a say in this matter. Rather than coming to see everyone's opinions, it is better to inform everyone to be mentally prepared.

After Zefa compromised, Kong breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the dissatisfaction of some generals, he can ignore it.

In the face of the overall situation, personal opinions can be ignored.

The discussion of this meeting ended quickly.

The Navy began to lick its wounds for this war.

Kong can also explain the Navy's intentions to the World Government.

When the Five Elders received the news from the Navy Marshal Kong.

"The Navy agreed, but this Zefa is a little ungrateful."

Saint Maz said as he looked at the intelligence in his hand.

"Zef? He's just an old guy who's out of date. Don't worry about him. Let him train the recruits honestly and let the Navy quickly restore its strength!"

Saint Nasujuro said indifferently to Zefa's opposition in the meeting.

"Yeah!"

Saint Maz nodded, and didn't discuss Zefa too much.

"By the way, thisIn the report, Sora submitted his resignation. Should we approve it? "

Nasu Juro took out Sora's resignation and asked.

"Huh? Why did Sora submit his resignation at this time? Now is the weakest time for the Navy. We need someone like Sora to stabilize the Navy. It's amazing that he thought of resigning."

Maz asked in confusion.

"Heh! It's because of the failure of this war that his position as marshal is a little shaky. He wants to use the help of our world government to stabilize his position as marshal. But it's also good. The plan of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has just been implemented. We need a marshal who obeys the orders of the world government. I believe Sora will agree. Although we are all optimistic about Sengoku, it is obviously not the right time now. "

Satan said with a sneer.

He didn't know what was going on in Kong's mind.

He had controlled the navy for thirty years, and he would give up power so easily.

"He is greedy for power, that's good. I'm not afraid that he is not greedy, I'm afraid that he has no desires. Reject this resignation in public and tell him that the World Government needs him and the Navy needs him, and give him enough face."

Saint Pitt said.

"Okay, then I will reject it!"

Saint Nasujuro said.

"But Kong has been the Admiral of the Navy for too long. Let him resign from the post of Admiral of the Navy after the Seven Warlords of the Sea system is stable!"

Saint Wokuri said.

"Will he retire honestly?"

Saint Pitt asked.

"At that time, just give him a nominal position as the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies. I believe he will not be ungrateful."

Saint Maz said.

"Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies? What a good title! "

Satan Saint smiled.

The other four Five Elders also smiled.

The discussion ended quickly.

A rejection letter was sent from the Five Elders' office.

It was delivered to the Navy Headquarters.

In front of all the Navy commanders, the rejection of Navy Marshal Steel Bone·Kong was announced.

"Navy Marshal Steel Bone·Kong, you have worked hard for the Navy for more than 30 years and have made great contributions. You cannot be discouraged by a temporary defeat. The Navy needs you, the World Government needs you, and the people of the world need you to lead the Navy to suppress the sea. We hereby reject your request to resign and continue to lead the Navy to contribute to world peace."
