Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 185 I'm Drought Jack!

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Inside the meeting room.

For the Navy, having someone promoted to Vice Admiral of the Headquarters is a very important matter. Coupled with the influence of the campaign to subdue the Seven Warlords of the Sea, almost all the Vice Admirals in the Headquarters have been appointed.

Sengoku, holding the shoulder insignia and uniform representing a lieutenant general, handed them to Loya in the presence of the officers.

"After a decision by headquarters, Lieutenant General Loya is hereby officially awarded the rank of Lieutenant General!"

"Clap clap clap!"

The sparse, perfunctory applause was considered a gesture of respect for Loya.

Loya smiled and returned to his seat. His promotion to lieutenant general was expected, but it was still quite comfortable. At least he wouldn't have to put up with the attitudes of other lieutenant generals anymore.

"Regarding Doflamingo's crimes."

The meeting continued.

Doflamingo's theft of the country brought a lot of negative impact to the World Government, but since the Navy resolved the incident, it was a good thing for the Navy Headquarters.

As the meeting was nearing its end.

Maynard stood up, looking relieved: "Marshal Sengoku, I would like to resign from my position as the base commander of the G-5 branch and recommend Lieutenant General Loya to succeed me as base commander."

"."

Warring States frowned.

The other officers all looked at Loya, their eyes filled with deep meaning.

Even without making a specific inquiry, they knew about the recent situation of the G-5 branch, since the G-5 branch had been constantly in the limelight.

Lieutenant General Maynard is being persecuted!

Loya calmly stood up and volunteered: "Marshal Sengoku, I believe I have the leadership ability to lead the G-5 branch. Of course, if there is a lieutenant general who also wants to serve as the base commander of the G-5 branch, I can compete with him fairly."

Nobody would agree to that!

The lieutenant generals muttered to themselves.

According to the normal promotion process, if the position of branch base commander is vacant and there is a lieutenant general-level marine in the branch, then the position of base commander will be given priority to him.

After Vergo stepped down, G-5 branch lacked a lieutenant general to lead the organization, which led to Lieutenant General Maynard being parachuted into G-5 branch.

Logically and emotionally, the position of base commander belongs to Loya.

Besides, nobody wants to compete with him.

Sengoku sighed, deeply troubled by the situation at the G-5 branch. He wondered what would happen if Loya were appointed as the base commander.

It's already at rock bottom; it can't get any worse, can it?

This is the former G-5 branch.

Please, just behave yourselves!

This is the current G-5 branch.

Since Loya went to the G-5 branch, the frequency of problems has increased day by day. He even dares to provoke the Four Emperors. His ability to cause trouble is obvious to all.

Sengoku looked around and said in a deep voice, "If no one has any objections, then Lieutenant General Loya will serve as the base commander of the G-5 branch!"

No one spoke.

The lieutenant generals all shrank their necks in unison.

Maynard serves as a cautionary tale; no one wants to get themselves into trouble, especially since even if they compete, they might not be able to beat Loya.

The Warring States period's face darkened considerably.

"Then it's settled!"

The meeting ended abruptly.

Sengoku summoned Loya to his office.

"Loya, regarding your lieutenant general title, is there any special requirement? If not, then continue with [Black Hair]."

"A title, let me think of one."

Loya stroked his chin.

Currently, the highest level of naval officer titles is based on a combination of color and Chinese zodiac animal. Only six animals—Rat, Ox, Tiger, Dragon, Snake, and Sheep—have not yet been designated.

The flying squirrel is an animal code name and should not be included.

I don't seem to have any animals that match my personality.

He has been systematically learning within the naval system and has only recently stepped out of that circle, so he has not yet developed his own distinctive combat style.

Setting a title now will make it difficult to match it with your future self.

Loya isn't in a hurry right now. Improving his strength is the foundation for his livelihood, just like ordinary people who feel at ease when they have money in their hands.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, let's keep the title 'Black Hair' for now."

"it is good."

Zhan Guo nodded slightly.

If Loya wants the Zodiac title, he will agree; this kid's abilities are worthy of the Zodiac title.

But since Loya himself hasn't made up his mind, there's no need to rush. This kid is still young, and it's not too late to decide when he's promoted to general in a dozen years.

"That's all, go ahead."

"yes!"

-

A new world, on a deserted island.

Jack, whose body was wrapped in bandages, suddenly opened his eyes.

Am I dead?

"No way, Boss Jack, you're not that easy to kill!"

The underlings immediately surrounded him, chattering as they recounted what had happened.

"It was the Flying Six who pulled you out of the water."

"What?"

Jack's eyes were bloodshot.

Flying Six?

Those guys would love for him to die, why would they go to the bottom of the sea to fish him out?

Soon, Foz and his three companions appeared.

"Hey, you're awake, Jack."

"Foz F., Sasaki, Junti, Page Van!"

Jack stared at the four men, his eyes filled with gloom. He didn't believe these bastards would be so kind as to save him.

Foz Fur grinned.

The four of them disagreed on the matter of rescuing Jack.

But considering that even if they didn't help, the rest of his men would get Jack out anyway, they might as well do him a favor.

Moreover, Jack will need to lead the charge in the next operation.

However, a little ridicule is still necessary.

"I heard you were defeated by the Marines escorting Doflamingo?"

"This is none of your business!"

Jack snorted coldly, his anger rising.

"Haha, don't be so angry."

The four were secretly pleased. It was rare to see the big boss get his comeuppance, especially Jack, who was the most likely to be replaced by them.

"In fact, we also encountered some troubles."

Foz-Fur explained with a wicked grin, "But we're a little better than you. We've found where Young Master Yamato is. How about it, want to cooperate?"

"Young Master Yamato."

Jack's gaze darkened.

Besides rescuing Doflamingo, we must also bring Yamato back with us!

"Where is Master Yamato?"

"Naval Branch G-5!"

Foz-Fur's grin stretched from ear to ear: "So, how about it, dare to go?"

"Who do you think I am!"

Jack stood up with a ferocious look in his eyes. He was determined to bring Yamato back, not just to a mere naval branch, but to take an entire country with him.

"Men, prepare the boat immediately!"

"Yes, Lord Jack!"

The warships were already ready.

Watching Jack leave in a hurry, Foz and his three companions smiled. Jack's reaction was exactly what they had expected.

"Still the same old thing, what a simple-minded idiot!"

"Once Jack causes a ruckus at the G-5 branch and clashes with that black-haired guy, we'll take the opportunity to take Yamato away."

"It's agreed beforehand that whoever brings Master Yamato back will get the credit!"

"I won't let you get there first!"

Jack's warship.

When Sipshead remembered the Flying Six's malicious plan, he couldn't help but remind them, "Lord Jack, the Flying Six are trying to use us."

"I know."

Jack held the newspaper, looking at the Dressrosa incident, his eyes fixed on Loya's photo.

As for the reminders from subordinates.

Of course he knew Fei Liubao's purpose!

"Huh?"

The real fighters couldn't understand why, knowing they were being used as pawns, they would still go to the G-5 branch. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"Lord Jack, why?"

"idiot!"

Jack threw the newspaper to the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

"Who do you think I am?!"

Even if we're being used as pawns, so what?

Knowing where Yamato is and bringing him back to Oni Island is his mission; as for the Flying Six, that's another story.

They're all useless!

Does he really expect him to cooperate honestly with those good-for-nothings?

Are you kidding me!

He's Jack the Drought!
