Seeing Akainu looking at her, Ms. He nodded and said: "The navy is not a fragmented group like pirates. Their enemies can only have a few enemies, but our enemy is the entire group of pirates!"
"If there is too much chaos in the first half, it will undoubtedly limit our military strength. This will have fatal consequences when the Black Beast Federation or the Golden Lion attack again in the future!"
"And there is no doubt that most of the pirates active in the Grand Line today come from all over the world."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Aren’t they themselves the same?
Most of them come from all over the world.
The Grand Line has a strange climate and is dangerous to navigate, but in fact the area is not very large. The total area of the first half of the New World combined cannot be equal to any other in the four seas.
The same is certainly true for population size.
The number of strong men that can be produced is limited.
So much so that most of the pirates who disrupted the Grand Route came from the four seas.
Strong men from all over the world gather here to compete and fight with each other. Coupled with the dangerous climate and environment, the Grand Line is nicknamed the "Pirate's Grave".
Everyone cheered up, knowing that the next step was the key point.
As expected, after looking at the excited crowd, He was satisfied and said in a deep voice.
"Therefore, it is urgent to curb the number of pirates in the four seas."
"The Five Old Stars have agreed to the plan for the Sihai General Base. Next is the issue of candidates... Although not all of them, you should all know that the general strength of the Sihai Navy is weaker than that of the Grand Line. There are even claims that it is a third-level official.
It is difficult to bear such a heavy responsibility.”
To this, Fujitora also nodded silently.
He has traveled around for half his life and has seen and heard everything.
Most of the pirates who can start from the Four Seas are newcomers who have little experience and weak strength. Of course, it does not take much effort to deal with them. However, the Four Seas Navy also lacks the tempering of big battles and fierce battles, resulting in weak strength.
Vicious cycle.
From time to time, one or two powerful aliens appear among the pirates, and they can be beaten to death.
For example, the Black Earl...
"so!"
He emphasized his tone: "The people who are in charge of the general base of the Four Seas must be strong enough to suppress an entire sea area."
And such a person, of course, is the Navy Headquarters, the person who is qualified to sit here today!
A group of people were sitting upright, especially the new generation of generals, with expectant expressions on their faces.
This is a good thing!!
Because they are all major generals.
Even the major general serving in this department is still a major general.
The Sihai General Base is a newly added establishment, its status is equivalent to the G-series branch of the Grand Line, and the base commander’s military rank is Lieutenant General!
I originally thought that it would take many years for Lieutenant General Sixteen to be still healthy, but they would have to wait many years to succeed him in that position. After all, not everyone can be as powerful as Fujitora and directly cross this stage.
But who would have thought that the World Government would be so generous and give four lieutenant general seats upon its arrival!
This is a God-given opportunity!
The three great joys in life are promotion, wealth and death. If you don't seize the opportunity, are you still a human being?
"For this matter, I have a recommended candidate."
Just when they were full of expectations, Fujitora suddenly spoke first.
Is this why you came to the meeting?
Kizaru suddenly realized.
After all, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not.
The main reason why generals are in charge is for the first thing, to show absolute fairness and not to worry about the lack of numbers but the inequality. This is the same in any world.
In response, Akainu's eyes flashed with impatience and he asked: "Who?"
The rest of the people also looked at Fujitora, general recommendation?
Who has this honor?
The colleagues around them all looked confused, it was obviously not them.
Hearing the impatience in Akainu's tone, Fujitora did not sell out: "East China Sea Rog Town, Colonel Smoker."
"East China Sea?"
"Colonel?!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Everyone who can participate in this meeting is at least a major general, or a major general in the headquarters. It is no joke to be a senior official.
Just a colonel from the East China Sea...
Why?
Everyone was a little unconvinced.
However, Akainu was stunned for a moment and frowned silently: "Smog? I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."
For him to have heard of it and leave an impression on him means that this person is absolutely extraordinary!
Ms. He reminded from the side: "Smog, the smoke fruit ability user, was the number one recruit in the field who came out of the recruit camp managed by Zefa many years ago. However, nearly ten years ago, he was punished for his bad behavior of beating up his superior.
, was expelled to the East China Sea by the Warring States Period to sit in Rogge Town, and his strength... is indeed pretty good."
Under normal circumstances, He only needs to tell the basic information to Akainu for judgment, but Smoker has been wasting away in the East China Sea for nearly ten years after all. In the original incident, Sengoku even supported his behavior, but due to the pressure from the government
, so he had to throw him to the East China Sea.
"It turned out to be him."
Akainu nodded: "I remembered who it was."
After all, some people even said at the time that Smoker could continue the monster legend of their three generals, making it difficult for Akainu not to remember.
"but……"
Looking at Fujitora, Akainu said: "If I remember correctly, the Black Earl was defeated by the opponent just after he went to sea. Are you sure that such a person can bear the heavy responsibility of the East China Sea General Base?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?!"
Akainu suddenly widened his eyes.
You actually said you didn’t know the person you recommended?!
"I really don't know... what Colonel Smoker will be in a few years."
Fujitora gasped for breath, and Akainu was so angry that he almost made a move.
"A few years ago, I learned that a vicious pirate who could resurrect corpses and control death appeared in the East China Sea. I originally wanted to rush there, defeat him and hand him over to the navy."
navy……
The corners of the crane's mouth twitched.
This title still hasn’t been changed!
But fortunately, no one cares about such a trivial matter now, because Fujitora mentioned someone.
Black Count!
"Were you there?"
Akainu stared: "Then why don't you take action?!"
With Fujitora's strength, if he had taken action at that time, the Black Earl would not be where he is today!
"It's not that we didn't take action, it's that we didn't catch up."
In response to this, Fujitora smiled bitterly and replied: "The merchant ship I was riding on encountered a shipwreck. I wasted a lot of time trying to rescue the crew and find an island to resettle. When I arrived, I realized that the Black Earl had entered the great island three days ago.
route."
"You should also know, Marshal, that the first half of the journey is divided into seven routes. If you don't know the direction of the route, pursuit will be impossible."
"Then why don't you contact Hai...hey!"
Before he finished speaking, Akainu himself sighed heavily.
How did Fujitora contact the Navy at that time?
His identity was originally false.
Especially based on the suspicious character of the Warring States Period.
Time is also fate.
This time, that time.
"But this trip to the East China Sea is not without its rewards."
Fujitora brought the topic back and continued: "I discovered that Colonel Smoker is an upright man. Underneath his fierce appearance, there is a gentle heart."
"There are very few navies like this in the four seas, so I stayed in the East China Sea for a few more days."
Everyone was a little embarrassed when he said this.
Just like the nobles and wealthy merchants that Tezzolo has won over, the world is also a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
It’s not that our department is unaware of this situation, but it’s just that we are really helpless.
"Later, the old man stopped him on the street and asked him why he didn't go to the Grand Line if he was unwilling to do so?"
Smoker was of course unwilling to give in.
In order to prevent the Black Earl from causing trouble in the East China Sea, they deliberately let him pass through the Upside Down Mountain. Although it was not made public, the word "incompetent" has always been engraved in Smoker's mind.
Akainu became interested: "How did he answer?"
"He replied..."
After a pause, a smile appeared on Fujitora's face: "The Black Earl is a trouble caused by corrupt government officials themselves, so let them face it on their own. My duty is to protect the people of Donghai, not to wipe their butts for them!
"
"Asshole!!!"
Akainu flipped the table, and the lava gurgled, emitting high temperatures.
But the smile on his face couldn't be concealed.
This Smoker is very suitable to his taste.
His loyalty is based on justice, but when those corrupt officials are looking for trouble, who knows doesn't feel bad?
"Still the same as before, stabbing one on the head!"
He sighed helplessly, she still knew very well what Smoker was like.
These words seemed to be shirking responsibility, but she understood that being able to say these words meant that for Smoker, protecting the people of the East China Sea was really more important than maintaining the authority of the government.
Strength can be developed slowly, and no matter how bad it is, there are still pacifists to help.
But that heart of justice is what the Navy urgently needs!
At this time, Fujitora continued: "Perhaps because of these words, I heard that Smoker was later investigated. Even during the world conscription, there was no news."
"But thinking about it, the emphasis on the safety of the East China Sea is the fundamental reason why he did not respond at all this time."
"Then let him come!"
"I want to see what he is capable of and how dare he not take the government seriously!"
Akainu put away his smile and gritted his teeth: "You bastard, you're nothing big or small!"
Glancing at the other people in the conference room, he took a deep breath: "In that case, let's have a competition. Although General Fujitora recommended him, his strength cannot convince everyone, so it is just empty talk."
so……
Is that all he got over with cursing government officials?
A group of new generals looked at each other, feeling that they had a new understanding of the notorious Akainu in front of them.
No, to be precise, it is to the Navy as a whole!
Here, there are still people who insist on justice in their hearts. We are not in the wrong place!
