The huge conference room was extremely quiet at this moment. Everyone else was holding their breath and watching the Five Elders and Sengoku the Buddha, waiting for the final outcome of the incident.
After a long while, the Five Elders exchanged glances one last time, and one of them, an old man with white curly hair and a thick white beard, raised his head.
He said calmly to Steelbone, "In that case, let's do as you suggested, Steelbone. We'll leave this matter to you. Meeting adjourned."
After saying that, the five elders left the conference hall together, completely disregarding the thoughts of the others in the conference room.
The reason why the Five Elders called Steel Bones-Empty Buddha the Warring States was because they had done some research on the matter.
After all, Sengoku the Buddha and Garp are among the most prestigious people in the Marine Headquarters.
If we call on someone else to handle it, and we accidentally offend these two, it will definitely cause a huge uproar at the Navy Headquarters.
As for Steel Bone - Sora and Buddha Sengoku, they are longtime friends, so having him handle the situation is naturally the best choice.
"Gentlemen, now that your meeting is over, I shall take my leave!"
Seeing the Five Elders leave, Hawkeye also stood up, said something to Cyborg and the others, and then left the conference hall.
But as he stepped out of the conference hall, Hawkeye's eyes narrowed.
With a solemn expression, he glanced at the Holy Land Mary Geoise behind him and muttered to himself, "I wonder what kind of uproar will the departure of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the Buddha, cause within the World Government?"
With Hawkeye's departure, the kings of various countries who had only come to observe the meeting also left the conference hall one after another.
At this moment, only three senior naval leaders remained in the entire conference hall: Kong, Sengoku the Buddha, and Garp.
"Steelbow, what's wrong with you? Not only will you not help us, but you're also kicking us when we're down. What a bastard!"
Now that there was no one else in the conference hall, Garp, no longer caring about anything else, roared angrily at Steelbone-Sky.
Garp found it hard to accept that his close friend, Cyborg Kong, would not stand up for them at a crucial moment and instead speak ill of them to the Five Elders.
Steel Bone Kong ignored Garp's tirade and instead looked solemnly at Sengoku the Buddha beside him.
At this moment, Sengoku the Buddha was in a state of utter despair. He had originally been passionately advocating for the future of the World Government, hoping to change the long-standing problems that had plagued the World Government for so many years.
However, the Five Elders rejected his proposal and removed him from his position as Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
If it weren't for Kong's final persuasion, he might have already been labeled a traitor to the World Government.
Seeing that Steel Bone Kong completely ignored his words, Garp turned to Sengoku the Buddha and shouted, "Sengoku, say something! Isn't this old man Steel Bone a real jerk?"
"All right."
However, Sengoku the Buddha waved his hand at Garp and said softly, "Alas! This is not Steelbone's fault. Without the approval of the Five Elders, the outcome was already predetermined."
"I just didn't expect the Five Elders to be so protective of the Celestial Dragons."
"Given the current chaos, I only suggested slightly restricting the Celestial Dragons' privileges out of necessity. I didn't expect it to elicit such a reaction from the Five Elders. The World Government is in a dangerous situation now!"
After saying this, Sengoku the Buddha no longer possessed the iron-blooded and domineering aura he once had as a Marine.
All that remains is the air of an ordinary old person in their twilight years.
Upon hearing what Sengoku the Buddha said, Garp did not refute it, and a rare hint of worry appeared on his face.
Seeing the expressions on Sengoku's and Garp's faces, Kong patted them on the shoulder and said calmly, "Let's go back to the Marine Headquarters first. The position of Fleet Admiral is currently vacant. For the sake of the Navy, we need to quickly elect a new Fleet Admiral."
……
Naval Headquarters, at the entrance to Marineford.
After a period of time adrift at sea, Zhao Hai arrived at the Navy Headquarters.
Looking at the island he hadn't seen for a while, Zhao Hai felt a pang of nostalgia, after all, his brothers, friends, and his younger brother Ade were all here.
Of course, the most important reason is that Chef Zeff is here, who can make delicious food.
"Haha, here comes the delicious food!"
Unable to resist the temptation of the delicious food, Zhao Hai looked ahead towards the Navy Headquarters canteen, laughed loudly, and used his Fish Leap Transformation Technique to leap off the warship beneath him, passing by at lightning speed.
"Should we kidnap Uncle Zeff this time we leave the Navy? Having a cook to travel in the pirate world is really important."
On the way, Zhao Hai secretly harbored thoughts of Chef Zeff.
The idea of having a highly skilled chef by his side when venturing out together was something Zhao Hai had as soon as he arrived in the world of One Piece.
Sanji was undoubtedly Zhao Hai's first choice, but he couldn't see Sanji right now, and there was Sanji's master right in front of him, so Zhao Hai didn't have the idea of going far away instead of going to Sanji.
"You audacious madman! How dare you storm the Marine Headquarters? You're asking for trouble!"
Just as Zhao Hai was indulging in wild fantasies, a sharp shout suddenly rang out from behind him.
Seeing that someone was so tactless as to not even recognize him, the newly appointed naval king of the Navy Headquarters.
Moreover, this happened before he had even fired his "profession" in the navy, which made Zhao Hai somewhat unhappy.
So without even turning his head, he immediately greeted them with a voice that said, "Damn it, which scum is yelling?"
Zhao Hai's momentum from his previous battle against Doflamingo was still evident, and this sentence also subtly conveyed a sense of invincible kingly aura.
His strength was still barely enough to control his aura, so this aura was released unconsciously.
Although it was just something he did unconsciously, the navy officers chasing after Zhao Hai didn't feel so relaxed.
Under this extremely intense pressure, the newcomer felt that he was not facing a young thief, but a truly powerful and peerless expert who dominated a region.
My mind was shaken and I almost fell as I sped through the air, but I managed to regain my balance in the end.
However, the navy still appeared trembling and intimidated at this moment.
Faced with the navy's sudden provocation, Zhao Hai used a fish-leap transformation technique to stop in mid-air and was now slowly turning his body around.
"Ok?"
"Ok?"
As their eyes met, both of them unconsciously uttered a deep, surprised sound.
Looking at the navy that was provoking him, a sinister smile unconsciously appeared on Zhao Hai's face, and a hint of cunning flashed deep in his eyes.
The one who came to provoke Zhao Hai was none other than the guy Zhao Hai had always wanted to avenge the kick—Major General Sicily.
Therefore, Zhao Hai was in a very good mood at this moment, and relying on his speed advantage and the surge in power, he was confident that he could take revenge.
Meanwhile, the Sicilian major general opposite Zhao Hai saw Zhao Hai's familiar face, and his tense nerves relaxed. His smug expression immediately covered up his original worry.
At this moment, Major General Sicily didn't want to do anything else; he just wanted to beat up Zhao Hai, the guy who had almost scared him, to vent his frustration.
As for the claim that Zhao Hai is the number one genius of the new generation in the Navy Headquarters, Rear Admiral Sicily didn't care at all.
After all, what does it matter if someone is a genius? What if they unleash an attack comparable to a naval admiral or rear admiral in the naval freshman competition?
It's only been two or three months since the Navy's freshman competition. Even if Zhao Hai is incredibly talented, Rear Admiral Sicily doesn't believe that Zhao Hai has the absolute strength to challenge him right now.
Therefore, looking at the smile on Zhao Hai's face, Major General Sicily was "absolutely" certain that Zhao Hai was just putting on an act.
Given how cunning Zhao Hai had been in front of him before, it's not surprising that the Sicilian Major General would think this way.
"Hehe... I'll let you laugh now, but how will you laugh when I beat you until you're crying for your parents?"
Thinking about the scene of beating Zhao Hai to a pulp in a moment, Major General Sicily's lips unconsciously curled into an exaggerated smile.
"Holy crap! This guy from Sicily actually made such a weird expression in the face of my imposing and domineering aura. Does he still fantasize about torturing me like he always does? His confidence is truly baffling!"
Looking at the exaggerated smile on the Sicilian Major General's lips, Zhao Hai secretly guessed at the ignorance in this guy's heart.
Although neither of them spoke or walked, they seemed to be gazing at each other with deep affection, like two long-lost friends.
But both of them were fantasizing about how to beat the other to the ground and then torture him in various ways.
Therefore, this is also a different kind of competition: a contest of the richness and quantity of imagination.
Of course, such a competition will not have any other substantial effect other than satisfying the psychological needs of both parties.
"Hahaha--"
"Hahaha--"
Although it was ineffective, Zhao Hai and Major General Sicily were still enjoying themselves immensely, reveling in the feeling of fantasizing. They even unconsciously let out a few eerie laughs.
This sent shivers down the spines of everyone watching from the naval base.
Of course, the Major General of Sicily and Zhao Hai, who were completely immersed in their own world, did not notice the huge crowd of spectators not far away.
"Haha, thanks to the reader who couldn't remember @Baidu for the support!"
Chapter 83 Arriving Upon Hearing the News
"Hahaha, Caribbean Sea, how dare you disregard me, the commander of the Navy Headquarters guard? Don't you want to be taught a lesson?"
Major General Sicily snapped out of his reverie and saw Zhao Hai grinning unabashedly beside him, so he immediately gave him a stern rebuke.
Upon being shouted at by the Sicilian Major General, Zhao Hai straightened his gaze and stared at the Sicilian Major General, his eyes revealing a strange light.
Major General Sicily was startled by Zhao Hai's sharp gaze.
However, he quickly calmed down and shouted sternly, "Boy, stop putting on airs with me. Do you think I don't know your own capabilities?"
"Oh?"
Zhao Hai did not immediately refute the Sicilian Major General's statement.
He stared at the Sicilian Major General with interest and said calmly, "Do you really know all about my strength?"
"You're not referring to the tip of the iceberg that we saw a few months ago, are you? My strength is increasing at an exponential rate."
As he spoke, Zhao Hai paused slightly, and then a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from him.
A sharp gaze fixed on Rear Admiral Sicily, who scoffed disdainfully, "Hmph! How could you, a frog holed up in a well at Marine Headquarters, possibly fathom the strength of a young master like me?"
Wow!
The Sicilian major general was enraged by Zhao Hai's disdain.
He stopped arguing with Zhao Hai, since he had been completely outmatched by Zhao Hai in this regard.
"Boy! You've successfully angered this general today, so let me teach you how to behave!"
With a loud shout, the Sicilian Major General unleashed a powerful moonwalk in mid-air.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
As the Sicilian Major General's figure shifted in the air, waves of energy rippled around him, producing a series of sounds.
