For a moment, Qing Pheasant didn't know how to refute.

After all, he also knew that what Warring States said was correct.

Alabasta has established a royal navy, and no other kingdom will follow suit.

After its navy is established, it will only be responsible for the security of the sea area where its kingdom is located, and will not go to other places for operations.

For the headquarters, it can also save some of its troops and focus on dealing with the threats of the Four Emperors of the New World.

Besides, if the other kingdom establishes its own navy, the Navy Headquarters is not qualified to say anything on this matter. After all, it is the power of the other kingdom. The alliance agreement does not prohibit the alliance countries from setting up their own navy.

But Qing Pheasant was very uncomfortable with this matter.

Perhaps, if Li Yan hadn't been involved in this matter, he wouldn't even have spent much energy paying attention.

"Marshal, let's not talk about the matter in Alabasta. Don't you think that the recent development of the East China Sea Navy will be somewhat out of the control of the headquarters?"

"What do you want to say?"

Glancing at Qing Pheasant, Warring States said.

How could the Warring States Period not know his little thoughts?

I thought that after these few months, he should have matured a bit.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I got the opportunity, I would come again.

Why do you have to hold on to Li Yan?

Do you really think that if you want to move the East China Sea, you can just rely on an order from your headquarters?

Sure enough, you are still too young!

If the current East China Sea Navy headquarters acts haphazardly, it might be possible to break away from the navy and become independent tomorrow.

Now I don't think about how to maintain it. Instead, I always want to completely force Li Yan to the opposite side whenever I get the chance.

What's more, because of the incident with Vegapunk and the Revolutionary Army, the Navy already has too much to take care of itself.

Even if you want to do something to the East China Sea Navy, it is definitely not at this time, okay?

In short, the Warring States Period was also deeply disappointed with today's Aokiji.

"Marshal, I suggest that Li Yan be transferred to the headquarters and even give him the position of general. At the same time, we will re-select a suitable candidate from the headquarters to serve as the governor of Donghai!"

"Is this what you think?"

"Yes, I think this is the best way to handle it!"

"I understand, get out!"

"marshal..."

"go out!"

Qingzhi wanted to say something else, but Warring States directly emphasized his tone and shouted.

In desperation, he had no choice but to turn around and leave Sengoku's office.

When the office door was closed, Zhan Guo also sighed. The successor he had trained had never felt anything before, but since Li Yan's rise, he felt it more and more...

In this situation, Aoki Pheasant really can't stand on the stage.

In other words, in a stable situation, Aokiji is definitely a good candidate for a navy marshal, but in a chaotic situation, Aokiji is not good.

In short, if you hold on to your personal grudges, it won't be a big problem if you just serve as a general, but if you serve as a marshal...

However, among the three current generals, only Aokiji is a dove. If Aokiji can't do it, should Akainu, a hawk, be allowed to take over?

While he was distressed by Qing Pheasant's failure, Warring States was also distressed by the issue of his successor.

"Warring States Period, vision and way of thinking will change with the height you are at!"

On the side, seeing the result of the battle with a gloomy face, He comforted him.

"I understand what you said. Anyway, there is still time. I hope he can figure it out on his own!"

Sighing again, Zhanguo said.

After all, he is not going to retire immediately. No matter what, he can still hold on for a few years, right?

However...

Just the next moment...

"Hahahaha, what are you all worried about? As long as Li Yan becomes the marshal of the navy, all the problems you are worried about will no longer be a problem!"

"And I dare to say that as long as Li Yan becomes the marshal of the navy, the entire navy will reach a whole new level!"

Garp's sudden words stunned both Sengoku and He.

To be honest, they have never considered this possibility.

After all, the marshal is selected from the three active generals of the headquarters. This tradition has been maintained since the navy was established and has never changed to this day.

Therefore, when they were considering successors, they only considered among the three generals and never considered anyone other than the three generals.

"Garp, Li Yan is not a general of our headquarters, and he is not..."

"You want to say that Li Yan is not a dove. To be honest, during the Warring States period, I am increasingly confused about you. Is what you consider every day the justice of the navy or the so-called partisanship?"

"this..."

When Garp said this, Warring States was also stunned.

Naval justice?

Partisanship between doves and hawks?

When did it start?

I gradually changed from a naval general with a mind full of justice to...

What about a marshal who only considers party interests or naval interests?

Indeed, after becoming marshal, he ostensibly gave up his identity as a dove and tried his best to maintain a balance between the two factions.

But what about actually?

When thinking about the successor, he still only considered Aokiji, who was in harmony with the team, and never considered Akainu, who was a hawk, or Kizaru, who was not a faction.

Even...

In order to prevent Akainu from finally ascending to power, he also used various means to suppress him.

Just like Karp said, now I am thinking more about the justice of the navy than...

Let Li Yan take over the position of marshal?

Indeed, if Li Yan takes over in the future, there will be no problems.

There is no need to worry that the East China Sea Navy will one day break away from the headquarters and become independent, there is no need to worry that Li Yan will switch to the revolutionary army, and there is no need to worry that the East China Sea Navy is stronger than the headquarters.

As long as Li Yan comes to power, everything will no longer be a problem.

but...

Will Wulaoxing agree to Li Yan's appointment?

Will the doves and hawks in the navy agree to Li Yan's appointment?

It’s difficult!!!

After thinking about it, Warring States finally shook his head helplessly.

It still doesn’t work!

"Warring States, you no longer have the courage you had back then!"

Seeing Sengoku's reaction, Garp also said a little disappointed.

Bang!!!

"Garp, you put it lightly. If you were in my position, would you be able to resist the orders of the Holy Land?"

"Who will take over? In the final analysis, I only have the right to make suggestions, not the final decision!"

"Even if I want Li Yan to take over, will the Five Old Stars be willing?"

Slapping the table hard, Seng Guo shouted loudly.

"So...you no longer have the courage you had back then."

Garp was indeed a little disappointed.

If he had talked to Li Yan before, he could still understand some of the Warring States Period's thoughts.

However, after that conversation, he discovered...

Compared with Li Yan, the Warring States Period no longer had the courage needed to lead the entire navy on the right path.

Now, it is a certainty that Li Yan will get rid of Marigio and stand on his own. What is left is only a matter of time.

If this headquarters can keep up with Li Yan's footsteps, the Navy will embark on a bright road.

But it is obvious that the Warring States Period still cannot get rid of the inherent thinking that the navy needs to obey the orders of the Holy Land.

So...

When Li Yan succeeds in the future, the Navy Headquarters will forever be engraved on the pillar of shame in history...
