On the fourth day of the banquet, the navy came and went, but except for those with urgent missions, they all stayed in the main square of the headquarters at this time, wearing cloaks and standing upright. Although the number was not as grand as the previous war, up to one hundred thousand,
But there are 20,000 to 30,000 people.
They gather here for a moment.
It is no longer a restaurant, but in the castle tower above the largest building in the headquarters. In the marshal's office, several people are sitting there.
Sakaski sat in the main seat, chewing a cigar, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Garp, Sengoku and He were sitting on the table, forming a triangle. He shook his head and looked helplessly at Garp and Sengoku grabbing senbei.
Kizaru was sitting on the sofa holding a cup of tea, sipping it carefully and smiling from time to time.
And Kuro was playing chess there with a blind uncle wearing purple clothes and a purple cloak. Yes, playing chess and shogi.
"It's Sennika's hand, it's so scary, Kuro." Kizaru glanced down and said with a smile.
"Then what can I do? No, why are you, a blind man, so good at chess? Can't you see?" Kuro twitched the corner of his mouth and said to the smile in front of him.
"I can tell the position by listening to the sound. The sound of each move on the chessboard is different. Speaking of which, it was a tie four times. Are you letting me, brother." Yixiao said lightly.
Thousand Days Hand, that is, the professional term appears when the same chess position appears four times in shogi.
It's not that Kuro asked him to do it, it's mainly because he doesn't know how to play chess himself. It's just out of boredom that he plays chess with an old blind man here.
He was about to be promoted to a general, and Yixiao also came to support him.
The two of them were bored and started playing chess here.
"Isn't it almost time?"
Seeing that the result was the same after four attempts, Clow simply leaned back and stopped playing. He lit a cigar and asked the others.
It's embarrassing. I originally thought that the next blind man would be able to do it, but now it's still the same situation. What a waste.
Sakaski nodded: "Jaendo should be here. At noon, that's when you become a general."
John Giando, the Giant Lieutenant General, was also at this banquet. This ceremony for Kuro to become a general was mainly because of the Giant Lieutenant General's loud voice. His voice was loud enough, and his voice was right.
Very angry.
The giants who join the navy are at least lieutenant generals. As a racial talent, their combat power is very strong. However, he is not really the main combatant in the navy headquarters, but is responsible for training and instructors.
"Report!"
Just as Sakaski was speaking, the door was pushed open, and a giant lieutenant general wearing a light yellow military uniform with a large number of medals on his chest came in and saluted everyone present, "John Giando is here to report!"
"
"It's almost time."
Sakaski stood up and said: "Jianduo, let's start."
"yes!"
Jaendo saluted again, then nodded and smiled at Kuro, and walked to the balcony first, facing the many navy standing below.
The people below range from lieutenant general to major, and they are all famous naval commanders on the sea.
When Kuro saw this scene, he sighed and glanced at Kizaru, who smiled at him, stood up, and walked towards the balcony.
At noon, the sun is also at its highest point.
"Those who want to escape should do so now!!"
At this time, Jaendo opened his voice and shouted: "There is no room for cowardice here. In the era of chaos that emerged after the war on the top, this place symbolizes peace and is a fortress of peace!!"
"The weakness of the people is not their fault, because they are just the people and cannot resist the invasion of pirates, but! But our justice is here! As long as powerful evil forces appear on the sea, our navy will do our best to drive them away! With justice
In the name of this, drive away all evil!”
"Drive out all evil!!"
The navy below roared loudly. Among them, in the queue belonging to the lieutenant general in front, Cass and Wilbur were the loudest and their faces turned red. They were all excited.
"today!!"
Giannando continued to shout: "We are about to usher in a special moment. Our general, Porusalino, who has worked hard in the Navy for decades! is retiring!!"
"He is an old navy man who has made many contributions to the cause of justice. He has been the backbone of our navy since a long time ago! But Porusalino, Admiral Kizaru, also has times when he is unwell and old.
Sometimes, there will also be times when you can’t control everything!”
retire.
Although everyone here already knew it, when the words were officially spoken, it still attracted many people to whisper.
Another pillar of the navy is about to retire. Following Zefa, Sengoku, and Garp, the new generation of three generals, except for Sakaski who is still in office, the remaining two have finally retired.
.
They are all people who have served the navy for more than ten or even decades. They fought with the three generals and watched them rise step by step in the navy. Now another old colleague is about to retire. Although they have known it for a long time, but now
Still in a state of confusion.
"Don't be confused! Where is your justice!!"
Jian Duo seemed to be aware of this situation and yelled: "Does it mean that without the general, you can't enforce justice? Justice is with us, and our goal is to drive out evil, not to rely on the general to drive out evil!"
These words shocked everyone's spirits and made them stand upright again.
At this time, Kizaru appeared next to Jaendo and waved to the crowd, "Oh~ It's so scary. There are so many people. Keep working hard, everyone."
"Yes! This is what General Kizaru said. We will continue to work hard!!"
Jaendo shouted: "Besides, although Admiral Kizaru is retiring, he is not no longer serving in the Navy, he is just giving the opportunity to someone more qualified! And after one general is retired, we will welcome a new one."
!!!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone raised their heads and looked at the castle tower.
"It's your turn."
He patted Kuro on the back and said with a smile: "Show me your demeanor as a young general."
Kuro put out the end of his cigar, shrugged, and walked to the balcony, staring at the numerous marines below.
"Our new general has joined the navy for more than ten years and has made outstanding contributions to the navy. He has defeated many great pirates - Jin Yangkuluo!!" Jaendo shouted with a blushing face.
Judging from his state, he seemed to be shouting at the top of his lungs, which was hard enough.
But why should he work so hard and be low-key? Really, he just wants to deal with it quietly and low-key.
