Army Headquarters, in the Marshal's Office in Landforth.
Marshal Raymond was sitting on the chair behind the desk, while Sakaski, Barrett, and Crocodile, the two general replacements, were sitting on the sofa.
All four people's eyes were focused on the virtual screen projected by the video phone bug.
When Kaido transformed into a huge and somewhat outrageous fire dragon, the expressions of several people present were different, and they all looked thoughtful.
"Has Kaido developed a new technique temporarily?"
Crocodile held the long, thick cigar smoking in his mouth, grinned lightly, and said, "It looks pretty awesome~"
But even though he seemed relaxed on the surface, he was also wondering in his heart how he would deal with Kaido's 'second form'.
Although gravel is not afraid of fire to a certain extent, when the temperature is high enough, it will still be melted into crystals, so that it is no longer controlled by the ability of the gravel fruit.
From this perspective, Kaido’s ‘Fire Dragon Torch’ move actually defeats him, as well as the lava fruit ability of General Akainu in front of him.
"Perhaps I should study more on swordsmanship. In this way, combined with the 'Desert Sword System' techniques, I might be able to deal with these bastards who restrain me."
Marshal Raymond, who said nothing, crossed his arms and frowned in displeasure.
When he discussed with Sora, Zefa, and Sengoku at the headquarters, he proposed that generals whose abilities are too strong to restrain challengers should not be used as opponents in the "battle at the top".
Considering that Aramaki is a user with the Sensen Fruit ability, Akainu was deliberately not allowed to appear. Furthermore, considering that although Aramaki has the ability to fly, his speed is not very fast, Kizaru was not allowed to appear.
In fact, their first choice at the time was Aokiji, but they didn't expect Kaido to step in and volunteer to be Aramaki's opponent.
At that time, I saw that Kaido didn't have any fire-based moves other than his heat breath, so I supported his proposal, but I didn't expect that this would happen.
"Aramaki can break through the limits of armed domineering in battle. Of course Kaido can also use new techniques in battle, but it seems that his challenge will fail~"
Barrett's huge body pressed the sofa beneath him to the ground, with a gloating and playful smile on his face.
There are only three generals in the Army Headquarters. Sakaski took one, and now there are only two left. He certainly does not want Aramaki to succeed in his challenge and surpass himself to become the second general.
"If I had known that my opponent was Kaido, I would have gone up to fight him."
Barrett curled his lips and sneered. The super fire dragon created by Kaido may not be able to do anything to him. After awakening, he can also merge into a thousand-meter-tall stone giant.
Even if part of the surface melts into magma, it will still be controlled by the ability of the combined fruit.
Unless Kaido has the ability to melt everything, then using his Fusion Fruit ability would be pure self-abuse.
At this time, Sakaski said in a calm voice: "Even if he fails, he can still change from a colonel to a lieutenant general. It is not a loss for Aramaki. With his strength, he will become an army general sooner or later. There is no need to rush."
"cut--"
Barrett snorted coldly, but did not fight back. Then he looked at Marshal Raymond and asked, "Marshal, how long will it take for me to be promoted to general?"
He felt that both in terms of strength and military exploits, he should be about the same.
"Why are you so anxious? When I become a general, it will naturally be your turn!"
Crocodile taunted Marshal Raymond before he could answer, but after hearing this, Barrett just glanced over with a terrifying look, which contained a very strong warning meaning.
But the former looked at each other without showing any weakness. It was not until Marshal Raymond sighed that the tense atmosphere was broken.
"Barrett, I remember you said before that you wanted to defeat Garp, so I thought that after you succeeded, you would be promoted to the general of the army headquarters."
"."
Barrett's face suddenly fell, and the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously.
yes.
He did indeed say this. He was thinking about defeating Garp first and then going to Noah's Ark to challenge the supreme being. However, it has been more than two years. Every time he challenged Garp, he would be beaten severely and then die in the hospital bed.
He lay there for a month.
Barrett was very puzzled, why was Garp's fist so hard and cruel?
In particular, the quality of the armor's domineering energy is simply ridiculously high, and the fist punch has a super internal destructive effect. No matter how much material he combines with his body, it can still be penetrated by the opponent's punch power.
"Ha ha ha ha----"
Crocodile burst into laughter and almost dropped the cigar in his mouth, which completely ignited Barrett's anger. But just as he was about to stand up and fight, he heard Sakaski yelling angrily.
"have you had enough!"
Barrett stopped his movements, turned his terrifying eyes to the other party, and said coldly: "I suddenly changed my attention now, Marshal, if I defeat General Akainu, can I be promoted to general?"
As soon as these words came out, Crocodile's laughter stopped immediately, while Sakaski looked at Barrett expressionlessly.
"It seems that you haven't received enough lessons, and you still have a lot of pirate temperament left."
"hehe."
Barrett sneered and waited for Marshal Raymond's answer. The latter covered his forehead helplessly and sighed: "Why bother? With the merits you have accumulated now, you can be promoted to general after completing the next alien world at most.
, just wait a little longer.”
"The next other world."
Barrett raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, it seems that there will be less than four months until January next year. If it is a less powerful alien world, the conquest campaign can be completed in two or three months at most.
Then, I will be promoted to general in about half a year.
"However, I think it will be more fulfilling to be promoted by defeating General Akainu."
"you!"
Marshal Raymond was also a little annoyed by Barrett's overly irritating attitude. He felt that this man with a pirate background just had no rules, and he even considered whether to keep the opponent as a back-up to the general.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance."
Sakaski stood up slowly and walked out of the office first with an expressionless face. Barrett followed closely with a smile on his face excitedly. Crocodile also stood up and prepared to go over and take a look at the excitement.
Marshal Raymond was left shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
He found that he couldn't suppress these three people, and even Sakaski didn't pay much attention to his attitude.
Not long after, as Barrett said, Aramaki was completely defeated by Kaido's "Fire Dragon Torch" in two hours. He ended up with burns all over his body and was sent to the army headquarters by a flying warship.
receive treatment at the medical department.
Next, logically speaking, it should be Fujitora's 'battle at the top'.
But because of the 'Liberation Day' on September 15th, the battle can only be arranged for three days later, and his opponent has also been determined. Like Kaido, 'Kizaru' Polusa is also the general of the Air Force Headquarters.
Lino!
"Shining Fruit."
Yixiao, who was currently living in the Marine Headquarters Marineland, muttered to himself after receiving the notice, and then went to the marshal's office to ask Sengoku about Porusalino.
"He, despite his lazy and careless appearance, is also a monster-level figure. Although Zefa has always said that he relies too much on fruit abilities, as far as I know, his swordsmanship level is very high."
Warring States looked at him with a smile across a desk, but his eyes were lost in memories of the past.
"Back then, that boy Sakaski actually followed the path of a swordsman, but after a few swordsmanship sparring sessions with Porusalino, he gave up swordsmanship and concentrated on training his physical skills and abilities."
"According to what he said, he just didn't want to waste more energy on areas where he had no talent, but you have to know that Sakaski was already a swordsman at that time."
