Pirate: I'm just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

Now Sengoku has begun to follow the internal procedures of the navy to master those unknown powers before officially taking over as the naval master.

After a day of hard work, Zhan Guo came to the marshal's office with a tired body.

At this moment, Kong was looking at the newspaper in his hand with his eyes, "Master Yuan, everything that needs to be prepared on site is basically ready. I have already gone over to check it out."

Zhan Guo's body stood straight. After hearing Zhan Guo's voice, Kong moved his eyes away from the newspaper, looked at the apprentice standing in front of him and said:

Zhan Guo, don't do this kind of thing yourself anymore.

"As a Marine Grand Master, you can make many people sacrifice their lives with just one word. You have to make reasonable use of everyone's strengths."

There are those who agree with the Navy and those who disagree, but there are no fools (except Garp).

Being able to reasonably utilize the strengths of each of them is what a naval admiral should do."

For example, for the preparations this time, you can ask Xiaohe to look after it, or you can ask Borsalino or Kake to look after it. As a general, and you will soon take over my position, you need to adapt to this change as soon as possible. "

Zhan Guo nodded, but his body did not move.

Sora sighed, then waved his hand and said;

"sit down.

In the spacious office, a gray-haired admiral and a young and strong admiral were chatting face to face.

Zhan Guo seemed to suddenly remember something, took out the information in his hand and said:

Master Kong Yuan, I have some intelligence reported by the Four Seas Navy.

Intelligence shows that the revolutionary forces in the South Sea and the West Sea are already very strong, to the point where they can overthrow a kingdom and put their people on the throne.

"Did the Five Elders give any response?"

"I am worried that if the Revolutionary Army continues to grow, it may become a serious threat to the World Government and the Navy."

Sora put down the newspaper in his hand and said earnestly;

Zhan Guo, I know that you have shown your overall perspective and wisdom far beyond others since you entered the navy, but I still have one thing to tell you, which is what my old marshal taught me. "

In this ocean, apart from the World Government, no other force exists forever. They may be strong for a while, but that is entirely because the World Government does not take them seriously. Once the World Government starts to take it seriously, all forces in the ocean will be like sand towers, toppled by the sea.

So, you have to remember that everything in the world is in the hands of the government. They don't need a navy with independent thinking, they just need an obedient army."

After hearing what Kong said, Zhan Guo stood there in a daze.

If we ask ourselves honestly, it is completely understandable that we cannot understand why the Warring States period upheld justice for so many years.

Because everyone in the navy has a different idea of ​​Zheng Xi in their hearts, various Zheng Xi slogans were born. These were all commonplace in the eyes of the Warring States, but in the eyes of Sora, they were nothing. The World Government did not need all kinds of justice, they did not even need justice.

What they really want is pawns who will obey them under the banner of justice.

Zhan Guo's body couldn't help but shiver.

He thought of the Rocks Pirates.

Sengoku joined the navy very early, and not long after he joined the navy, the Rocks Pirates had already conquered the entire Grand Line and had no rivals.

Then they all moved into the new world and declared themselves the overlords of the new world.

All the navy regards this incident as a shame and will work hard to wash away the shame of pirates being the kings of the New World.

But such a pirate group was split up by the World Government.

None of the powerful captains under Rocks were willing to fight with Rocks to resist the navy.

In the end, except for the death of Rocks, Garp was awarded the title of Navy Hero, the World Government eliminated its major threat, and those captains regained their freedom.

Sora took out a small and exquisite key, opened the safe behind him and said:

I have a piece of information here, which is the record of the conversation between the Five Elders.

Zhan Guo took the information and read it quickly.

There isn't much content in it, but the amount of information is frighteningly large.

The World Government has long known about the existence of the Revolutionary Army, but they have not yet figured out the identities and appearances of the leaders and cadres of the Revolutionary Army. Even the name Dragon was only found out by the members of the CP organization with great difficulty.

Just like what Kong had just said, the Five Elders had no feelings about the Revolutionary Army mobilizing the people to overthrow the corrupt king.

There was even one of the Five Elders who suggested that it would be a good idea to let the Revolutionary Army overthrow it.

They are looking at this based on the overall development of the world government.

Not long ago, there was a kidnapping incident.

There was a small country called the Kingdom of Tahama. Their capital was attacked by a passing pirate group, who successfully broke into the capital and captured five hundred soldiers.

If a child from CP9 hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have killed the tied-up soldiers and pirates together.

Perhaps, the Tahama Kingdom will become the first pirate kingdom,

In theory, every country that joins the World Government should be very strong to join, but judging from the intelligence that has been sent back so far, a considerable number of kingdoms have not been able to keep up with the pace of development.

If the first incident of pirates occupying the king happened in this sea, then the pirates bewitched by Roger would collectively rush towards the palaces of the weaker ones.

No one knows whether the great secret treasure that Roger mentioned before his execution actually exists.

But the benefits of being a king are indeed visible to the naked eye.

Once they succeed, pirates from other parts of the world will immediately launch attacks on the kingdom, which will greatly increase the workload of the navy.

Therefore, no matter what the reason, the threat of pirates overthrowing the member states of the World Government is far greater than that of the Revolutionary Army.

I also know something about the Revolutionary Army.

They were just some people within the kingdom who reached a preliminary consensus under the leadership of the revolutionary army.

What the Five Elders meant was that if the member states of the World Government became less powerful, it would be a good thing for the Revolutionary Army to resolve the issue.

After all, after the revolutionary army overthrew them, they also had to pay the heavenly gold on time.

Countries that cannot afford to pay can be reasonably kicked out of the World Government's membership.

Then, Sora said earnestly:

"Sora, I had the same thoughts as you when I was young, but later I understood."

The best contribution made by the Navy Grandmaster is to maintain the stability of the world in an orderly manner. As for other revolutionary armies or some powerful pirates, the Navy does not need to take the initiative to wade into this muddy water before the government issues an order, do you understand?"

Zhan Guo's expression became extremely complicated, but he also knew in his heart that the reason why Kong said this was so that he could adapt to his new identity as soon as possible after becoming a Yuanshi.

So he was very grateful for Kong's guidance:

"Teacher, I understand.

Sora then nodded in satisfaction, then said;

This guy Cap has always been a headache for me. Don't be too partial to Cap after you take office.

Since there are already discordant voices within the Navy, we should reduce the chances of them meeting each other. "

In addition, once all the other navy commanders have returned, we will officially begin the Yuanshi promotion ceremony."

Then, Kong looked at Zhan Guo with hopeful eyes, "The era of us old guys has passed, and you are the new future.

"I hope that the navy will become stronger and stronger in your hands, and that our navy will be the only overlord on the sea in the future."

Kong has great hopes for the Warring States.

He believed that his successor, Zhan Guo, not only possessed strong combat power, but also possessed an extraordinary mind. As long as he managed the navy well, it would not be a problem for him to grow stronger. 'By the way, do you have any idea about the candidates for the new three admirals of the navy? Tell me and I can help you check it out.'

Speaking of this, Zhan Guo's brows furrowed slightly.

This is something that gives him a headache!

Speaking of this, the Navy's candidates have been roughly determined, and there are many people who meet the requirements, but how to balance the factions within the Navy has become a big problem. "

Sora's fingers tapped on the desk, making a clacking sound.

"Tell me about it."

Kong did not interfere with the selection of the three new admirals of the navy, which was also a test for Zhan Guo.

Currently, there are four people who are qualified to be generals, but there are only three positions.

Christian Raleigh has enough strength, merit and prestige. He is one of the new three generals that I have confirmed.

Sakaski has enough strength, merit and prestige. He is the representative of the young radicals in the navy now. "

'Borsalino has enough strength and merit, but lacks prestige. He has a good relationship with the World Government, and his reputation in the Navy has always been very good, with no negative comments.'

Kuzan is strong enough, but his achievements and prestige are not as good as his. He was raised by Garp and Tsuru, and he has been on our side since the beginning. "

Of these four, Rowley and Sakaski have basically secured their spots as generals, but Borsalino and Kuzan are really hard to choose from. "

Zhan Guo threw out his current problem, looking forward to a bearish answer!

After listening to what Sengoku said, Kong was constantly weighing some things in his mind.

Either Borsalino or Kuzan can be promoted. After all, they are both very strong, and the lack of qualifications and prestige will only take time to improve.

But Kong also understood what Sengoku was struggling with.

Because Borsalino is a centrist representative in the Navy and has a good relationship with the World Government, while Kuzan is a representative of the moderates in the Navy and a die-hard member of the Navy, so it is indeed difficult to make a decision.

After thinking for a while, Sora slowly spoke;

For the Warring States period, if I have to choose, I would suggest Borsalino.

First of all, Borsalino is Raleigh's brother, and Raleigh is behind him. At the same time, he and Sakaski were classmates in the military academy, and they had a good relationship. "

Sometimes, your words spoken directly don't have a good effect. At this time, you often need a messenger with enough weight. Borsalino has been your adjutant, so I think he will not refuse your request."

'Although Kuzan is strong enough, he does not communicate much with Raleigh and Sakaski, and often cannot act as a middleman.

"Secondly, you know what kind of person Kuzan is. He admires Garp's free and unrestrained personality, so being an admiral or not makes no difference to him."

Besides, Kuzan is your confidant, so you can give him power that is not inferior to that of the generals. This will also form a check and balance on the generals. As long as they don't listen to you, you can always promote Kuzan to replace them. "

'Of course, these are just my own thoughts, teacher. You are the next admiral of the navy, and your consideration is the most important.'

After Kong finished speaking his thoughts in one breath, he held the cup and drank tea.

He had already told Zhan Guo all his considerations, so he didn't need to worry about the rest.

The old guy who is about to retire can give suggestions, but he cannot continue to direct the Warring States to do things.

Zhan Guo looked at Sora who was drinking tea with gratitude.

He had considered some of these words, but also had not considered a large part of them. No matter what, Kong already respected his opinion.

Zhan Guo had already made up his mind.

That is to do as Kong suggested and give Borsalino a nominal title of general.

Use this identity to bind Borsalino and let him continue to maintain contact with the World Government.

At the same time, he will create a new position, granting this position real power that is no less than that of a general, and let Kuzan be the person in charge of this new position."

In this way, you can ensure that you will not be without a voice.

Although he knew that the relationship between Raleigh, Sakaski, and Borsalino was good, it was not enough for them to form a small circle of power and thus undermine the Navy Grand Master. "Teacher, I have some ideas to discuss with Garp and Crane."

After making up his mind, Zhan Guo needed others to refer to for some specific arrangements.

It would no longer be appropriate to ask Sora to answer these questions.

The Admiral of the Navy also has his own staff.

In the future, I won’t need to discuss everything with Sora. Sora nodded readily and said:

It would be better for you to discuss more with He about matters in the navy, but remember that you will need to make the final decision on all matters discussed."

As for that idiot Garp, you don't have to call him. Calling him would just cause trouble anyway."

In addition, officials from the World Government and representatives from member countries of the World Government were invited to participate in this event.

The Warring States launched some activities to get close to the people. People could visit Marinford by simply providing proof of identity and storing their weapons in designated locations.
