One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 459 Marshal takes office

The Admiral of the Navy, the supreme leader of the largest and most powerful violent organization in the world, his name can be included in the list of big names who influence or even determine the trend of this sea.

The change of the navy marshal has a much greater impact on the sea than the change of the position of the four emperors, or the change of the candidates of the Shichibukai. The change of position of the navy marshal definitely not only means that one of the highest combat capabilities replaces another with the highest combat capability and becomes the controller of the navy, it also means a change in the navy's guiding ideology.

Every general has his own understanding of "justice", and becoming a "marshal" is undoubtedly the best way to implement his own concept of justice!

Such implementation will not only change the navy's style of conduct, but will also profoundly affect the situation at sea.

More than ten years ago, Warring States took over the post of marshal of the navy, and "justice over the world" became the navy's absolute dominant ideology. Under his leadership, the Navy skillfully balanced the increasingly delicate situation among the Four Emperors, the Great Pirates, the World Government, and the Shichibukai, and eliminated those dangerous elements who were ready to move one by one, greatly safeguarding the great land. Balance at sea.

Now, the more radical and tough Sakaski has taken over the stable Warring States Period. Does this mean that the Navy's actions will also turn from conservative to radical? Does it mean that the Navy Headquarters will officially counterattack? A new world that actually “gives up”?

Regarding this handover, whether it is the pirates, the Shichibukai, the kings of the underground world, the franchised countries, the world government, or even the revolutionary army that is preparing to move in the dark, they all pay great attention to it.

However, the Navy Headquarters unexpectedly rejected Li Xiao's application to broadcast the Navy Marshal's handover ceremony live to the world. This led many savvy people to guess that there might be something unusual about the inauguration ceremony of the Navy Marshal.

However, such restrictions cannot prevent Ma Wu Laoxing from watching the ceremony of Malinfando from the exclusive line through the phone bug.

"It's really unexpected...it's really dazzling."

Mary Joa, Saint Satan stared attentively at the live broadcast from the phone bug, or, to be more precise, stared at the empty chair on the seat representing the "general".

Originally, the person who should be sitting there was Kuzan, one of the three generals of the Navy Headquarters.

But now, there is no one there.

Long before the marshal handover ceremony, General Qing Pheasant had disappeared.

This is also an important reason why the Navy Headquarters refused to broadcast live on television. The fact that a general does not attend the marshal handover ceremony is enough to arouse the imagination of the outside world. And if that general had just had a fierce battle with the new marshal for the position of marshal, then the signal sent would be self-evident.

Speculations of an internal split within the Navy Headquarters are simply imminent - the outside world will not care about the reason for Kuzan's absence.

This is something that the Navy and the World Government will never accept.

"Kuzan didn't come?"

Satan Saint was still neither sad nor happy, leaning on crutches with both hands and holding his chin, "The news given to us by the Warring States Period is that after Kuzan recovered from his injury a few days ago, he left a letter of resignation and left the Navy Headquarters. I don't know. Whereabouts."

"I recommend that Kuzan's resignation be agreed to," Shepard Ten Peter Saint said.

"But in this way, the participating countries may question the navy, and even within the navy, there may be divisions."

Saint Nassurang sat cross-legged and gently wiped the demon knife in his hand.

"The great admiral of the navy actually wants to compete for the position of 'marshal' through a duel. Their navy is not ashamed. We are all ashamed of them!" Satan's words were full of disdain.

The relationship between the Navy Headquarters and the World Government has become more and more subtle in recent years. The flags of Sora, Sengoku, Zefa, and Garp have gradually made the Navy independent. In the long-term struggle against pirates, the Navy upholds "Justice" has penetrated into the genes of the new generation navy.

Sakaski, Porusalino, Kuzan, Gion, and Kake, these new generations of navy who are powerful and can be called monsters, make the Five Old Stars feel vaguely uneasy.

Having such a large number of strong men, but not completely controlled by the world government's military power, has become an unsettling factor in the eyes of the Five Old Stars.

Secretly weakening the Navy Headquarters has become a tacit understanding among the five old stars.

If it hadn't been for the "emergence" of Profic and Dawn to steal the "limelight", Wulaoxing might have taken some measures such as cutting military expenditures and placing disgusting people within Wang Qiwuhai to weaken and disintegrate the navy.

Because of this, Wu Laoxing agreed to Sengoku's request to resign as naval marshal and recommended Sakaski as the next marshal on behalf of the government. When Kuzan and Sakaski decided to compete for the position of marshal in a "duel", instead of stopping them, they were "happy to see it happen" to a certain extent.

Wulaoxing did not expect that the consequences of this marshal battle would be more serious than they thought.

The sudden battle between generals made Shishang stunned once again before he could recover from the golden lion's attack on the navy headquarters.

The winner is Akainu.

Wu Laoxing was not surprised by this. The admiral's strength was already between the two. If the two faced off ten times, they might each be able to win five games. Whether Aokiji wins or Akainu wins, it is reasonable and expected.

What really surprised Wulaoxing was that Kuzan actually chose to leave the navy!

The departure of a naval admiral is undoubtedly a huge weakening for the Navy Headquarters, and it also means that the ideological differences between the two have intensified to an extremely serious level. Those navies who have similar ideas to Kuzan but different from Sakaski may not follow a similar path.

"It's better this way," Saint Wuchuli said coldly, "In this case, he only has one option: to be the dog I am waiting for."

A naval marshal who is "as close as a family" to the officers and soldiers may be able to bring out the greatest combat effectiveness of the navy, but this is not the best choice for the interests of the world government.

As long as pirates and the like don't threaten the rule of the World Government, it's no big deal to let them live freely in the new world.

On the contrary, the navy that keeps saying "justice" is sometimes more troublesome.

Only a naval marshal who must rely on the World Government to maintain his status is in the best interest of the World Government and can allow the World Government to fully control the navy.

With Wu Laoxing's political sensitivity, he saw this almost immediately.

Just as the Five Old Stars were feeling complacent, a voice interrupted their thoughts.

"Guys, I have some bad news,"

Saint Wuchuli's beard moved slightly, and even the distinctive "map head" wrinkled. Because of a phone call just now, he never participated in the discussion of the four old stars. But now, Saint Wuchuli, who finally spoke, did not bring any good news.

His expression was as solemn as his tone, "The agent sent news that the whereabouts of the 'former' naval admiral, Kuzan, was discovered in Wano Country."
