One Piece: Starting with God Valley, intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

Upon hearing this, the corner of Sengoku's mouth twitched slightly.

Jiger chuckled.

"Borsalino, even Zeffa-sensei hasn't mentioned retiring, how dare you bring up retirement?"

Zephyr patted Kizaru on the back through Akainu and chuckled, "..."

"Not a decent person!"

Sengoku looked dazed upon seeing this scene. It had been a long time since he had seen such a harmonious scene with Zephyr and the others since he became the Fleet Admiral.

This inevitably stirred a hint of jealousy in Sengoku's heart, as he felt he had truly failed as the Fleet Admiral.

Before he could even catch his breath, Aokiji and Aramaki, those two troublemakers, shouted "Senior Gig" in unison, and then rushed to Gig's side, their expressions actually looking somewhat aggrieved.

However, these two look much older than Giger, giving people a strong sense of incongruity.

Aramaki's promotion to general has always been blocked. Although he seems indifferent over the years, only he knows how frustrating it is.

At the same time, he also personally experienced a feeling called "rootless duckweed".

So when he saw Giger, he completely lost control and wanted to pour out all the grievances he had suffered over the years. However, he still had a sliver of rationality and knew that the current situation was obviously not suitable for him to do such a thing.

This resulted in him rushing up to Giger, his face turning red, and being unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Fortunately, he still has Aokiji as his "mouth double".

Aokiji looked at him with a disappointed expression and said,

"Huang Mu, weren't you quite calm just now? Why are you saying you can't come now that you've seen Senior Jig?"

After saying that, Aokiji turned to look at Giger and was about to start attacking, but Giger stopped him by raising his hand. Then he also turned red-faced, just like Aramaki.

Giger smiled slightly, slowly walked to Sengoku's side, and said softly,

"Warring States... Marshal, Aramu has been a candidate for general for many years now, shouldn't we remove the word 'candidate' from his resume?"

Sengoku composed himself and replied,

"Gig, you just got back, you don't know yet, it's from the World Government..."

Before Sengoku could finish speaking, Gige interrupted him.

Giger's tone sounded incredibly calm, yet it conveyed a strange sense of oppression.

"What's wrong with the World Government? I heard that when you proposed to the World Government to recall Garp to the Navy, some high-ranking officials objected, but you were very firm in your stance, and in the end Garp really came back and has now been reinstated. Since the World Government can agree to such a thing, why can't they promote Aramaki to Admiral? Are you equally firm in your stance on this matter?"

Seeing Jig confront Sengoku head-on, Aramu was so moved that he trembled all over, and even his eyes became moist.

Aokiji was even more excited than Aramaki, and the white chill emanating from his body grew stronger, causing the temperature in the entire conference room to drop.

Even with Aokiji around, Sengoku was still sweating profusely. He was speechless at Giger's barrage of questions because he couldn't answer them.

He really didn't care much about Aramaki's promotion to admiral. Each time, he would just mention it to the World Government as a formality, and if a certain pig objected, he would simply let it go.

Tsuru and Garp wanted to help Sengoku out of his predicament, but they couldn't come up with a decent reason for it. Garp felt guilty looking at Sengoku's embarrassed state, and everyone knew it was all because of him.

Karp could no longer endure the torment and said to Giggs,

"Gig, it's all my fault. I was in the way. I'll go to the World Government and apply to go back to prison!"

Sengoku stared wide-eyed at Garp.

"Garp! You..."

Giger glanced at Garp and said indifferently,

"No need. You're already back. As long as you still know you're a Marine, just stay here. I'm not targeting you, I'm just stating the facts."

At this moment, the so-called "justice of ruling the world" of the Warring States period is a joke in front of Giger. Judging from the performance of the two in the field, it is obvious who is the ruler and who is the subject.

Akainu and Kizaru exchanged a glance, both of them smiling.

In the Navy, the only person they could truly admire was Giger.

The reason for this is that Giger never lets his people down.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Giger slowly took out three documents from his pocket and then slammed them heavily on the table.

Upon seeing this, Zhan Guo's pupils immediately contracted.

The headers of the three documents clearly stated that...

"General Appointment: Code Name: Green Bull!"

"General Appointment: Codename Grizzly!"

"General Appointment: Code Name: Nightingale!"

Chapter 264 The Navy, Rebooted!

Those behind couldn't see the contents of the documents on the table; all they could see was Sengoku's shocked expression, as if ants were crawling all over them.

However, Sengoku remained silent, intently studying the contents of the documents until he saw the five signatures at the bottom of each document.

Sengoku was already a marshal, albeit temporarily, but he was still capable of knowing that the people who signed these names were the Five Elders, who stood at the pinnacle of power.

These signatures are absolutely genuine; no one in the world can imitate the signatures of the Five Elders. However, the signature of Vochuli on the General Appointment document is slightly crooked, as if Vochuli suffered from dementia when signing it.

At this moment, Sengoku was so shocked that he could not express it. He did not know how Giger had managed to get all five elders to sign these documents, and in addition to Aramaki, two more generals were also added.

Grizzly Bear is naturally Bartholomew Bear, and Nightingale is Lucia.

Keep in mind that Lucia hadn't returned to Marine Headquarters for a full twenty-two years. How did Giger manage to convince the Five Elders to promote Lucia to Admiral the moment she returned?

Giger spoke up calmly from the side,

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, you should have finished reading it by now, right? If you have, please read it aloud."

Sengoku nodded slowly, picked up the three documents on the table, and then read out the three appointments of generals to everyone in the conference room.

After the Warring States period was read aloud, everyone felt their heads buzzing.

In the end, it was Aokiji who reacted first. He slapped Aramaki on the back of the head and said with a face full of joy,

"Wild Shepherd! You've leveled up! You've finally leveled up!"

Aramaki was still in a daze when he was caught off guard by Aokiji's slap and almost fell headfirst into the ground.

Normally, he would have fought with Aokiji, but now he had no interest in doing so and just stared blankly at Giger.

Xiong himself was a little confused. He subconsciously raised one hand and said,

"Brother Jig, I..."

Giger smiled slightly. He knew what Xiong wanted to say; it was simply that he felt he was not worthy of the position of general.

Actually, this is just due to Kuma's personality. In the original work, he already possessed considerable combat strength. Moreover, now that he has undergone systematic training and combat experience in the Navy, coupled with his Bakania bloodline, he is absolutely qualified to serve as an admiral.

Of course, the most important point is that Giger wants Xiong to become a general.

If Giger wants to, then it's possible.

Keep in mind that Giger killed Roger, the user of the Nika Devil Fruit, and even Im praised Giger highly afterward. Based on this alone, the Five Elders had to do their best to satisfy Giger's request.

As for why Vochuli's signature on the document was crooked, it wasn't because Vochuli was unwilling when he signed it; he was simply feeling guilty.

When Gigg walked away with the three documents, Vochuli watched him leave with a smile.

The meeting room was in an uproar; many people even felt like they were dreaming, it was just too fantastical.

Leaving aside Giger's sudden and powerful comeback, let's just talk about these three documents.

Once the contents of these three documents are finalized, it will mean that, including Giger, the Navy now has a total of seven admirals!

Of course, that's not the scariest part, since apart from Giger and Lucia, the other five people have always been at headquarters.

The most terrifying thing is that these are seven generals, led by Giger, united as one!

Since Sengoku became Fleet Admiral, apart from Akainu, the others have been somewhat uninhibited and have never shown their true fighting strength.

In this situation, the navy is like a tank that has never been fully engaged in gear shifting.

The return of Giger means that the Navy's war machine is finally at full speed, and Giger has been added as a "rage mode"!

No one would think that Gigg, who had been asleep for twenty-two years and whose strength had "not improved much," would fall behind the times.

Those present witnessed the war firsthand. The power that Gigg displayed 22 years ago was already considered "cross-version".

Even before Giggs returned, Akainu, who was considered the strongest admiral, felt that he was not as good as Giggs was twenty-two years ago.

He certainly wasn't confident he could kill Roger, who had acquired strange abilities.

Twenty-two years have not weakened Gigg's strength, nor has it diminished his prestige within the Navy. He has simply settled down and is now unleashing his full power.

Even Tsuru, a staunch supporter of the Warring States period, couldn't help but think to himself upon seeing this situation,

"This marshal of the Warring States period probably won't last long."

Tsuru even suspected that if Giger were to say he wanted to be the Fleet Admiral, Akainu and the others would immediately strip Sengoku of his Fleet Admiral uniform and put it on Giger.

Thinking of this, He felt his heart beating even faster.

This kind of appeal is absolutely terrifying!

Are world governments really turning a blind eye?
