The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 540 The Age of Heberfeller

Ten days later!

The world seemed to have entered a turbulent era.

Because the Navy suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Marineford, it was unable to suppress the large-scale voyages of pirates as it had before.

This era has given rise to a new wave of storms and upheavals.

The dilapidated Marineford has finally entered the reconstruction process, with countless naval personnel busy at work.

Inside the office!

Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru remained silent, the newspaper report was simply too jarring.

[Shocking the world, the uncrowned king of the old era—Hippefeller Charlotte, the king of the old era…]

The title "King of the Old Era" also made them think of two other influential figures.

Rocks D. Giebeck, a troublemaker who wants to become the king of the world.

Gol D. Roger, who shocked the world and became the first Pirate King in history.

And Heberfils Charlotte, now known as the King of the Old Age.

"King of the World", the Pirate King and the King of the Old Era.

Hibernette Charlotte is now certainly qualified to stand alongside these two.

History even records a story about the legend of the three "kings".

The first two each created their own brief era.

The Age of Rocks!

The Roger Era!

And now, Hibernian Charlotte also has his own era.

The Heberfeller Era!

What will the future hold?

It's impossible to see clearly!

Having experienced so much, the three from the Warring States period knew very well what the chaotic and even more troublesome Hippefeller Charlotte would bring to the world.

Nobody knows?

In the oppressive and stifling room, Crane finally spoke slowly, breaking the eerie stalemate.

"Sengoku, you've decided to submit your resignation."

Sengoku nodded silently. "It's already been submitted."

"So, who is your recommended candidate?"

When asked by his old friend Crane, Sengoku did not hide anything and replied, "Aokiji."

Akainu's personality is too strong; he disregards casualties in his pursuit of eliminating pirates, making him an unsuitable choice for a fleet admiral.

As for Kizaru's personality, he is extremely lazy and has no interest in the position of Fleet Admiral.

He had the highest regard for Admiral Aokiji, whose personality, problem-solving abilities, and many other aspects were outstanding.

Tsuru nodded in agreement. The coming years would be very difficult for the navy, and the selection of the next naval admiral would be of paramount importance.

Aokiji is definitely the right choice.

However, the Five Elders were the ones who could truly decide who would be the marshal, and even Sengoku himself was unsure.

His opinion was important, but the Five Elders' attitude was the key, and he knew that the Five Elders were more inclined to support Admiral Akainu.

Just thinking about this gave him a headache; these were truly troublesome times!

The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Pangaea!

Inside the power chamber where the five elders were gathered, their expressions were somewhat serious.

"Warring States period has requested to resign from the position of marshal. How should this be handled?"

Piet Saint was the first to speak, asking for the opinions of the others.

"Sengoku is indeed no longer suitable to serve as marshal; after all, he is getting old."

Satan remained calm as he stated his views.

The strength of the Warring States period had declined too much, so it was indeed somewhat inappropriate for him to be the naval commander.

"Since the other party has already made up their mind, there is no reason to refuse."

Satan spoke with a firm resolve tinged with regret, for the Warring States period had indeed done a commendable job.

"Who will be chosen as the new marshal?"

Piet Saint raised a question.

The other four members of the Five Elders also fell into a moment of contemplation.

Who was the candidate recommended during the Warring States period?

Nasujiro knew that Sengoku, as the Fleet Admiral, would definitely have someone recommended by the other party.

Just like when Kong recommended Sengoku as Fleet Admiral, it can be considered a naval tradition.

"Sengoku... recommended Admiral Aokiji for the position of Fleet Admiral!"

Woqiuli Sheng slowly spoke, his hands crossed and his legs supporting him.

The other five elders listened silently without making a decision immediately, as if they were considering something.

Just like the reason they chose Sengoku as their naval admiral back then.

"General Aokiji is no good."

Satan was the first to speak out against the proposal, as Aokiji sometimes did things that violated government decisions.

This is substandard.

"Then let's go with Akainu!"

Wocholl Saint then spoke up.

Akainu is the best choice because he can steadfastly carry out their orders.

For example, Akainu handled the Ohara incident perfectly, despite some minor flaws.

But this does not affect their appreciation of Akainu's loyalty.

"No, Aokiji is, after all, the strongest fighting force of the Navy under the Admiral. Such a hasty move would likely cause a strong backlash."

Nassou Langsheng stroked his chin and began to calmly analyze the situation.

With the navy's strength now weakened, any further unforeseen events could have significant consequences.

"Then let the two of them compete."

Wocholl suggested that this would silence unnecessary criticism.

"Alright, it's decided then. As for Sengoku, he can stay in the Navy and serve as the Inspector General of the Navy Headquarters."

Satan continued speaking, and also announced the new positions to be filled by Sengoku.

Leaving a renowned veteran naval officer unchecked would have too great an impact.

The most obvious example is former Admiral Zephyr joining the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

The presence of veteran naval forces from the Warring States period poses a significant threat.

Of course, a formal order requires an appointment and transfer document issued by the World Government.

……

……

One month later!

The continent of Hibernian, the royal city of Lati!

Charlotte looked at the newspaper and smiled.

The battle for the Fleet Admiral position raged for ten days and ten nights between Akainu and Aokiji, the Navy's most powerful warriors...

As a result, Akainu became Fleet Admiral while Admiral Aokiji left the Navy.

How could two people with such different ideas possibly get along?

It's really a good thing that the navy's strength has been weakened again.

With Akainu's rise to power, a major reshuffle of the Navy is only natural.

Admiral Fujitora and Admiral Green Bull officially became Admirals of the Marine Headquarters.

As Charlotte expected, everything was just part of the original script.

Charlotte felt a little happier.

Of course, there are still many things he needs to do; he absolutely must obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

His son needed a powerful Devil Fruit as a foundation, and the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit was naturally the best choice.

Charlotte wouldn't let Blackbeard go either; turning that guy into a corpse would be the safest thing for her.

After all, he was a guy who was ambitious, shrewd, and powerful.

In addition, the Whitebeard Pirates needed to vent their dissatisfaction with the traitors after joining the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

As for this matter, he doesn't need to worry about it. Now that Shirley's divination has pinpointed the location, it's only a matter of time before Blackbeard Teach is caught.

The Heberfeller family's deployment of the two kings and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates would be enough to suppress the enemy.
