Chapter 22 General Appointment Ceremony
The return speed of the demon-slaying fleet is much slower than when it left.
When I went there, I went straight through the windless zone in order to hurry.
When I came back, I chose to go from the starting point of the Grand Line, Upside Down Mountain, to the Navy Headquarters at the end of the first half.
During this period, every time it visits a participating country, the warships will fire cannons to demonstrate the naval power.
At the same time, Sakaski and Porusalino will also take turns to show their strength near the franchise countries.
The campaign to be promoted to general has slowly begun.
The experience of the two people quickly spread throughout the sea.
After half a month of this experience, the Demon-Slaying Order fleet returned to the Navy Headquarters.
For half a month, almost the whole world fell into the haze of the Navy.
Just the publicized experiences of Sakaski and Porusalino scared many people who wanted to go to sea to give up the idea of becoming pirates.
Although because of Roger, the world is now full of pirates who have just gone to sea.
But everyone understands that the navy is the overlord of the sea.
Among the three legendary pirates of the past, Roger was publicly executed by the navy, Golden Lion was captured and imprisoned in Impel Down, and only Whitebeard is still in the new world.
Among the new generation of pirate overlords, only Big Mom and Kaido seem to have some potential, but even if the three parties join forces to attack the navy, everyone is not optimistic about the pirates.
The current navy can be said to be at its peak.
Not only are Marshal Sora, General Sengoku, former general Zefa, and hero Garp the older generation of combat power, but the three natural monsters of the new generation have also grown up, and their displayed strengths are all at the level of natural disasters.
And just as the sea was being bombarded with news about the navy, Navy Marshal Sora held a general appointment ceremony in Marineland.
This ceremony was spread throughout all franchise countries through live broadcasts.
A huge high platform was erected in the open space in front of the Navy Headquarters building.
And on the high platform, stood the highest combat power of the navy, Marshal Sora and General Sengoku.
Beside them, stood the representative of the World Government, Don Quixote Lutheran.
Standing together with Sengoku and Kong, two top powerhouses with full auras, Luther didn't feel overwhelmed at all.
Luther is almost the same height as them, and his aura is no different.
On the contrary, because I stood with two strong men, my overbearing look was passively stimulated, making me look even more oppressive.
"Vice Admiral Sakaski killed countless pirates for the navy in 1495 AD... 1500 AD. He performed well in the O'Hara Demon Slaying Order and is now promoted to the position of general! Awarded
Title 'Akainu'!"
In the open space in front of the Navy Central Building, after Kong made the announcement, not only did thunderous applause erupt from below, but civilians from the participating countries who were watching the live broadcast also cheered.
With Sakaski’s qualifications and strength, no one expressed dissatisfaction.
After Luther announced in the air, he personally put on Sakaski the cloak of 'justice' symbolizing the general, which is also a symbol of the navy's highest combat power.
Compared with the lieutenant general's 'justice' cloak, the lieutenant general's shoulder armor comes in a variety of colors, but the general's cloak and the marshal's cloak are both pure gold, symbolizing the supreme authority of the navy.
"Congratulations, General Sakaski!"
"It is an honor for me to have His Highness support me..."
Sakaski was unusually contorted when he replied. Not only was his voice a bit awkward, but his facial muscles were also twisted together.
Seeing Sakaski's strange behavior, Luther burst into laughter:
"Sakaski, we are friends, don't force yourself to say things you don't like, just stay the same."
Logically speaking, even with O'Hara's achievements as a foundation, Sakaski would not be promoted to general so quickly.
At least Marshal Kong must report this matter to the World Government, and then the World Government will discuss it internally, and finally hand it over to the Five Old Stars for a decision.
The existence of Luther helped eliminate the subsequent processes.
The entire ceremony of appointing generals was almost entirely handled by Luther.
Whether Sakaski or Porusalino were promoted to generals, the five old stars were relieved and would not think too much about Luther's involvement.
The Five Old Stars never thought that Sakaski would be loyal to Luther. Sakaski is not that kind of person. If he were that kind of person, the Five Old Stars would look down on him because of this.
As for Porusalino... He has the temperament to do things for whoever gives him more money. Wu Laoxing doesn't think Luther will give him more chips than them.
"Yes!"
Sakaski looked slightly solemn and felt relieved in his heart.
Originally, he made good friends with Luther just to find a shield so that he could spend his time destroying pirates.
At least for now, this choice is not wrong.
After Sakaski's promotion ended, Sora continued to announce:
"Vice Admiral Porusalino made great achievements for the navy in 1495 AD..."
After talking about a lot of achievements, Kong glanced at Luther with a strange look on his face, and then continued:
"In 1500 AD, in the battle of O'Hara, he completely killed Sauro, who was frozen by Kuzan. He was promoted to the position of general today! He was awarded the title 'Kizaru'!"
Listening to the previous results, Porusalino pinched his chin happily and showed a lewd smile.
Although his achievements are less than half of Sakaski's, they are enough to be promoted to general.
But after hearing the end, his smile froze.
Feeling the dagger-like gazes of some admirals, especially Kuzan's undisguised disgust, and the clicking sound of Garp's clenched fists, Porusalino felt his scalp numb.
What is this, to execute him publicly?
Porusalino looked at Luther in the stands with resentment, but what he received was only a big friendly smile.
Porusalino's face almost wrinkled as he kept lamenting in his heart.
How could he, a person who was most afraid of trouble, end up in countless troubles just because he couldn't refuse a trouble?
Tianlong people are really scary...
I thought so, but Porusalino didn't blame Luther in his heart.
Without mentioning Luther's identity, after returning to the naval headquarters, he felt that killing Sauro would be enough for the gift of 300 million beli.

If Luther adds another 0, he thinks it's not impossible to catch Kaido or something.
After Luther made the announcement in the air, as before, he personally put the general's cloak on Porusalino.
In other words, he is tall enough that ordinary people can reach Porusalino's chest.
"Oh, Your Highness Luther, I have been tricked by you."
Although there was nothing in his heart, Porusalino couldn't help but tease.
"General Kizaru, this is a real achievement. The World Government has a temporary bounty for Sauro, but it is as high as 500 million. If you are not short of money, you can exchange it for other items of the same amount, or give yourself a
A relaxing working environment." Luther smiled.
Listening to the previous words, Porusalino has not responded yet, 300 million is enough for him to spend a while.
When he waited for the last sentence, Porusalino's eyes lit up:
"Hey, is what His Highness Luther said true? Don't lie to me, an honest man!"
"There is no need for me to lie to you. The government has just spent a huge amount of money to build a laboratory in Punk Hassad in the New World. A general or an elite lieutenant general is needed to be stationed there. I think General Kizaru is very suitable." Lu
De joked.
"Ah... this is a very 'important' job. I think it suits me very well!"
Porusalino showed a mean smile. He liked talking to people like Luther, and he could get what he wanted in just two sentences.
He is not short of money now, but wants a job to fish.
I heard that the work of a general is very tiring, especially in the Warring States Period when there was only one general and there was almost no time for rest.
Now that the other two generals are workaholics, he shouldn't be so tired.
But when Porusalino came down from the stage with his hands in his pockets and a smile, he suddenly felt the dove navy's more undisguised disgust, and his face froze slightly.
Damn it, you were so careless!
When the other navy saw that he was so close to the Tianlong people, they couldn't even wash themselves away after he jumped into the Yellow River.
Porusalino's smile gradually disappeared, and he returned to where he should be standing with a grimace on his face.
At this time, he probably saw Luther's thoughts.
It seems that he is showing closeness to him, but Luther does not really want to win over him. He is at best a shield.
As for Luther's true goal...
Porusalino glanced at the serious Sakaski next to him, but he hesitated even more.
