Chapter 142 The troubles of the Five Old Stars! Depressed Marshal Kong!
As for Saint Topman Vauchuuri, he is the God of Legal Affairs. Each of the five five elders has their own areas of responsibility, and they will not actively interfere with each other's duties.
Of course, this division is only a rough approximation. The power of the Five Old Stars is supreme. In theory, there is no matter that they cannot participate in.
In many cases, such as collecting heavenly gold, the Five Old Stars also need to work together to urge the participating countries to pay the heavenly gold.
Command the world government to cooperate with each franchise country to collect relevant taxes, and mobilize the navy to escort the heavenly gold.
Then the heavenly gold was sent to Mary Joa, and finally, Saint Nashoulang discussed with the Celestial Dragons the division of the heavenly gold.
It is nominally a heavenly gold paid to the Celestial Dragons, but in essence it is a protection fee levied by the world government from all over the world.
"You must be mentally prepared. Porusalino is not a 'hardliner' like Sakaski. When he is promoted to Admiral of the Navy, our influence on the Navy may be greatly reduced... "
Nasshou Langsheng said lightly while holding his sword. Although most of the Tianlong people are spoiled scum, as the highest-level Tianlong people, none of them are qualified to become the Five Old Stars. The exceptions are the best of the best.
Of course you can’t help but see that Sakaski, who shouts tough slogans all day long, is just a watchdog to maintain the current system.
The Five Old Stars are happy to see a naval marshal like Sakaski, but they don't care what Sakaski thinks.
On the contrary, Porusalino, a 'salted fish' disguised as neutral, has always been the main target of the Five Old Stars' vigilance.
In Porusalino’s eyes, they could not see this guy’s awe for the world’s government and system, nor could they feel Porusalino’s sincerity in maintaining the current order.
In other words, if there is a possibility that the world government will be overthrown one day, Porusalino will definitely not fight to maintain the world government.
Allowing such a troublesome person to become a naval marshal is essentially trying to gain leverage over the world government. Under any other circumstances, the Five Old Stars would not agree.
Except pure gold!
After all, the Five Old Stars are also human beings. They hold great power and want to die far more than anyone else.
Don’t say Porusalino is just a potentially dangerous person.
Even if he is a spy of the Revolutionary Army, Wulaoxing will wait until he hands over the pure gold before considering how to eliminate this traitor.
"Anyway, I don't want to see him. Cancel the banquet celebrating the promotion of Navy Marshal. Let him get out of here after the promotion ceremony is over!"
Saint Vauciuli said angrily, feeling like his blood pressure was soaring when he thought about having to deal with Porusalino in the next few years or even more than ten years.
Although pure gold can keep him young forever, when he thinks of that bastard Porosalino who looks younger than his grandson, Saint Vauciuli feels that there is darkness ahead.
"Then let Sora receive him. It just so happens that they are also old friends..."
Nasjuro Sei thought about it for a while, but still felt that he should not make the scene too ugly.
Even if he knew clearly that after Polusalino was promoted to Navy Marshal, he would not be as obedient as Cyborg Sora, nor would he even cooperate as wholeheartedly as Marshal Sengoku, he still had to maintain a good relationship as much as possible.
The navy cannot live without the world government, but the world government cannot bear the consequences of losing the navy. Soon they will be able to obtain the pure gold of eternal youth. No matter how troubled Porosalino is, it will only take a few decades. .
“This is a good idea, and the dignity that should be given must still be given... Maz Sheng, the Celestial Dragons must also communicate with each other. At least a few Celestial Dragons must watch the promotion ceremony. "
Satan Saint nodded. They are disgusted with Polusalino and not the Navy. They want the faction in the Navy that is leaning towards the World Government to know that the World Government will not give up on them.
"Your request makes me very embarrassed, Saint Satan. The Celestial Dragons don't have a good impression of that guy Porusalino at all. If it weren't for Sora's protection, Polu would have dared to offend the Celestial Dragons. Salino is already dead... "
Maz Sheng sneered and said that the reason why he can get the support of so many Celestial Dragons is because he is the most indulgent attitude towards the Celestial Dragons among the five old stars, and he is also the most enthusiastic about protecting the Celestial Dragons. Interested members.
Of course, considering that Wulaoxing is the highest-level Celestial Dragon, what Maz Sheng did is not surprising.
“If it weren’t for Sora’s protection, what we would be considering now would not be Admiral Porusalino, but the Pirate Emperor Porusalino.”
Nass Shoulang Sheng spoke slowly, and Maz Sheng was speechless as soon as these words came out.
Cyborg Kong is not a soft-hearted navy marshal like the Sengoku Warring States Period. If he can survive the pressure of the Tianlong people, he naturally has a reason to work hard.
At that time, Porusalino was not only the youngest lieutenant general in the headquarters, but also a naval monster who had just defeated the general candidate Delokas.
Coupled with the special nature of the Shining Fruit, even if Marshal Kong takes action himself, there is no way he can keep Porusalino.
Once the Speedster, who possesses the strength of a general, stands on the opposite side of the world government and navy, the consequences will be disastrous.
Marshal Kong was able to save Porusalino with the secret help of the Five Old Stars.
Even Maz Sheng acquiesced at that time, but now that he is being held accountable, not only does it appear to be an afterthought, but it also seems to be somewhat unreasonable.
“I understand, there will be Tianlong people attending the promotion ceremony.”
Maz Sheng, who knew it well, couldn't hold on to it any longer, but his face inevitably showed some emotion.
"There is also this year's budget. The Warring States Period submitted a report two months ago. In order to make up for the losses of the navy during the war, next year's budget will be increased by 30%..."
Sheng Wuchuli reminded that the Five Old Stars had already discussed it once. In order to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates, it was completely acceptable to increase the budget by 30%.
Even in the long-term plan of the Five Old Stars, the world government must control the expansion of naval power as much as possible, but they must also ensure that the navy has the ability to maintain the stability of the sea.
It is not difficult to imagine that the navy that has experienced the war at the top will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the budget of 30% can only maintain the situation at best.
But Saint Wuchuli suddenly mentioned the 30% budget, which meant that the situation had changed.
Polusalino replaced Sengoku as Admiral of the Navy. He would not be as sympathetic to the difficulties of the World Government as Sengoku was.
Not to mention 30% of the budget, an increase of 50% may not be able to satisfy Porusalino.
"Impossible! An increase of 30% is already the limit of tolerance for the Tianlong people. If you want more, let that bastard ask the Tianlong people for money!"
Maz Sheng couldn't help but curse. , and even the look he looked at Saint Wuchuli became a little unkind.
He had reason to suspect that even if Saint Vauchuuri did not collude secretly with Porusalino regarding the request for funds, there was at least some kind of ugly tacit understanding.
For Maz Sheng, the relatively close relationship with the Celestial Dragons can certainly make his influence slightly higher than that of several colleagues, but all troubles involving the Celestial Dragons will also be pushed aside. Come to him.
Increasing the Navy's budget by 30% does not sound like much, but consider that the Navy is a behemoth with millions of troops, hundreds of naval branches and thousands of warships.
Even a one percent increase in funding can bring a smaller country to the brink of bankruptcy.
Maz Sheng used his influence to snatch 30% of the original budget from the Tianlong people. Now Wuchuli Sheng actually expects him to get more shares. It's simply It’s whimsical!
"Don't look at me. You can't touch the funds of the Shenxia Army. The Army's funds have long been reduced to the limit, and the little money is not enough for the Navy. If you use the knife again, even an honest man like Sora will probably get angry. "
Nashou Langsheng turned his head. In addition, everyone knows the funds of the CP organization. In a sense, the CP organization is the private army and money bag of the Five Old Stars, even if Even if the Army is starved to death, they will not divert CP funds to subsidize the Navy.
"The funds within the government are also very tight..."
Satan Saint shook his head and said, although it cannot be compared with a behemoth like the navy, as the ruler of the Five Old Stars and the Tianlong people The tool of the world, the world government is also another form of tail-end.
For eight hundred years, the top leaders of countless world governments have been connected with each other, weaving an intricate and invisible network of relationships that is almost impossible to sort out.
Even the Five Old Stars will not touch this big net rashly. It is not because they are incapable, but the source of this network is often the Five Old Stars and their men.
"...It seems that I can only aggrieve the participating countries a little. I will inform the kings that this year's heavenly gold will be increased by 3...50%, right?"
Saint Peter shrugged. , showing a slightly malicious smile.
From the beginning to the end, no one considered the feasibility of refusing to give money. After all, they even gave away the position of Navy Marshal, not to mention the additional naval military expenses.
In the face of pure gold, all obstacles must be given way. No matter how hard the civilians of the participating countries suffer, they cannot delay the important event of the five old stars staying young forever!
"There are also those non-franchised countries. The world government has been too tolerant to them in recent years..."
Satan Saint said lightly. The consequence of refusing to pay the heavenly gold is that he cannot get the protection of the navy. Now it seems It's still not enough to deter those rubbish.
Even if it is to obtain pure gold, the Five Old Stars cannot fully exploit the participating countries of the World Government, so they can only pass on the pressure to those non-joining countries.
"Indeed, I think it is necessary to remind the kings of the participating countries about this."
The Sacred Heart of Peter nodded with understanding and said, thinking that there should be many people who are interested in their own country. The kings of franchise countries who are not satisfied with the area will be happy to hear this news.
Even the kings of those joining countries who are not interested in expanding their territory will be more active in paying heavenly gold to avoid falling into the prey of other countries due to losing their qualifications as joining countries.
The other five old stars just smiled. Saint Peter was still a bit too young. There was no need to say it out loud because everyone already knew it.
The distance between the Marine headquarters of the Navy and the Holy Land Marie Joa is not far away. It can even be said that they are in the same sea area. Not long after receiving the call from Wulaoxing, Bo arrived on the deck of the warship. From Rusalino, you can already see the towering red earth continent.
"The Red Earth Continent... no matter how many times I see it, I still find it spectacular..."
Porusalino's eyes narrowed, and he raised his head to look at Marigioa's position. . Even from such a long distance, he could vaguely feel... the terrifying existence that could make him feel a little bit dangerous right now.
Although there is only a slight sense of crisis, considering that the opponent is mostly in a sleeping state, it is still unknown how strong it is.
Unfortunately, the ability to sense malice can only be effective against malicious targets, and it is obviously impossible for Im, who is sleeping among the flowers, to be malicious towards Porusalino inexplicably.
"When the promotion of Admiral of the Navy is completed, let's take the time to bring Boros over and let that guy test it out a little bit..."
Polusalino secretly calculated that with Boros Rose's strength, apart from Porusalino, there is basically no opponent in this sea who can compete with him.
Plus the gang of space pirates from the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.
Although he is just a fish in front of Porusalino, there is no big problem in acting as a subordinate of the 'Pirate King'.
"Yuan...General Kizaru, we are about to enter the port!"
The sailors on the warship shouted to Porusalino with great reverence, General Kizaru is about to be promoted. There is no secret about becoming a marshal.
As the most people-friendly admiral, Porusalino has always had a high reputation among the middle and lower-level navy.
In addition, during the war, Porusalino first killed Whitebeard, and then seriously injured Red-haired Shanks, and his majesty was unparalleled.
Many senior navies recall the 'Navy Monster'. Even if he has not been officially promoted, it does not prevent many sailors from treating him as a navy marshal.
"Well, I understand..."
Polusalino nodded. If he wants to board Mariejoia, he must first go to the 'Red Port' on both sides of the Red Continent. , where you can take the bubble elevator to reach the Holy Land Marie Gioia.
Seeing that the warship was about to enter the port, Porusalino suddenly remembered what he had promised Tony Stark before.
The dinosaurs in the small garden are to be sent to the "Jurassic Park" established by Stark. Instead of letting those prehistoric creatures stay in the small garden and become food for the two giants, it is better to send them to the Marvel world and raise them well.
It is not difficult for Porusalino to make a special trip for this purpose, mainly because it is quite time-consuming to capture so many dinosaurs.
Thinking of this, Porusalino simply picked up the phone and gave an order to the giantess Lieutenant General Vivian, who was still in Malinfando, to go to the small garden to catch dinosaurs.
Vivienne, who suddenly received an order from her boss, was also confused. She didn’t understand why Porusalino, who was about to become the navy marshal, asked her to catch dinosaurs.
But since the boss has the order, Vivian can only take her exclusive warship and go straight to the small garden.
The task of catching dinosaurs is as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary people, but for Vivian, who is a giant and her own strength is almost comparable to that of the Shichibukai, it is almost no difficulty at all.
It’s just a little troublesome to catch them alive, and there are so many dinosaurs and you don’t know when the boss will use them...
“Bring the phone bug!”
Follow Bo Vivian, who learned how to shake people in Rusalino, quickly thought of a way and asked her little sister "Black Threshold" Tina to go with her.
As a threshold fruit user, Tina can easily create a large number of shackles. With her strength, even if a dinosaur is trapped, it will be impossible to break free.
Not to mention that Tina reluctantly went to the small garden after receiving a call from Vivian. Porusalino, who arrived at Red Harbor, also met an old acquaintance.
“Long time no see, Old Man Kong, is it interesting to imitate other people’s hair dyeing at such an old age?”
Porusalino smiled and hooked Cyborg Kong’s shoulder, obviously He was his old superior and half-teacher, but in front of Cyborg Sora, Porusalino didn't feel the slightest bit nervous.
"Huh! I was a brat when we last met, and now I'm going to be a marshal of the navy!"
Cyborg Kong said with both relief and emotion. .
Marshal Kong, who was always extremely strict in front of his subordinates, showed no airs at all when facing Porusalino.
"It's already considered slow. Let me start by saying that I am not dissatisfied with the Marshal of the Warring States Period, but if we really have to follow the rules, I should have become the Marshal earlier than him."
波Rusalino curled his lips, he would not feel the slightest gratitude to the Five Old Stars just because he could be promoted to Navy Marshal.
This is what he deserves. If Wulaoxing hadn't deliberately suppressed him, he would have become a naval admiral before he was a marshal of the Warring States Period.
Whether it is strength or merit, in theory, after Marshal Kong retires, he is more qualified to take over the position of Navy Marshal.
Of course, Porusalino did not try to compete with Sengoku for the position of marshal at that time, but this did not prevent him from writing down the names of the five old stars in his grudge book afterwards.
"You still have the same bad temper as before. Don't you have any idea why the Five Old Stars chose the Warring States Period..."
Marshal Kong rolled his eyes. If it weren't for Polusali Nuo's strength was too strong and his reputation in the navy was too high. With his repeated attempts to seek death, there was no way he could become a navy admiral.
Even when Marshal Kong promoted Porusalino to general, he hesitated before making up his mind.
"So what, it will be mine sooner or later...By the way, I have seen that Redfield in Impel Down before, and I didn't feel too good about it."
< br>
Porusalino sneered, seeing that Marshal Kong was still talking about it, he quickly changed the topic.
Hearing Redfield's name, Marshal Kong's face turned a little dark. He thought he had done a pretty good job during his tenure as Navy Marshal.
Even if the pirate king Rocks appears, he cannot be entirely blamed, but losing to Redfield in the battle is a lingering shadow in Cyborg Hollow's heart.
There are many examples of admirals being defeated in history, but as the first admiral to lose to pirates, this face can be humiliated for hundreds of years.
"That monster is not as easy to deal with as you think. He...wait, how is Redfield doing now?"
Marshal Kong tried to defend himself, but when he thought of Porusalino's usual style, he subconsciously asked.
"Dead, so dead that there is no ashes left. I killed him in one go."
Porusalino made a gesture of shooting. If Had he met Porusalino a year or two earlier, Redfield might have been able to fight him.
Nai He waited until Redfield met Porusalino, and he had already joined the dimensional chat group and had been enhanced by the avatar.
Let alone Redfield, even if Rocks came back to life, he would not have the slightest chance of winning against Porusalino at that time.
"This is impossible...how strong are you now?"
Marshal Kong couldn't help but retort at first. He knows Porusalino's character best. If he really thinks that his opponent is not weak, Even if it was just for a joke, I wouldn't use that tone.
In other words, Redfield would probably not even be able to fight back in front of Porusalino. The monster who had defeated him one-on-one was easily crushed by Polusalino. !
Marshal Kong couldn't help but feel a little pain when he thought of this. He had thought that with Porusalino's potential, it would only be a matter of time before he surpassed him.
It is even clear that Porusalino is definitely much better than him now, but the gap is so big that Marshal Kong still can't accept it.
Reminiscing that Porusalino was qualified for promotion in the name of killing Whitebeard, Marshal Kong was originally wondering if Whitebeard had become weaker, but now it seems that Porusalino is too strong? !
"How do you put it, the gap between us should be so big..."
Polusalino gestured the distance between the tips of his index finger and thumb, which didn't seem particularly exaggerated. .
But when Marshal Kong followed Porusalino's line of sight, he found that the distance he had drawn was just enough to encompass the towering red earth continent from this angle.
“Fart! Try a fight later!”
Marshal Kong was so angry that he wanted to curse. Despite his age, his character was still as competitive as before.
Otherwise, he would not have fought a duel with a pirate like Redfield as a dignified naval marshal.
“Forget it, I’m afraid I’ll break your mentality.”
Polusalino waved his hand. If it was before joining the dimensional chat group, Marshal Kong was in Polu Salino still has a fight in front of him.
Even before the war on the top began, Marshal Kong, who was going all out, could barely let Porusalino use the strength of one hand.
But now, the gap between the two has reached the point where Porusalino doesn't even bother to take action.
"...Is it really that much different?"
Marshal Kong was still a little unconvinced, but looking at Porusalino's expression that didn't seem to be fake, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Even when riding in the bubble pod, the look on his face was still a little dark, and he didn’t really want to talk to Porusalino.
Fortunately, Marshal Kong quickly figured out that Porusalino was his old subordinate and half-student.
The stronger the strength, the more it can set off Marshal Kong's foresight. The mere Redfield can't even defeat half of his students, how can he compare to him!
Marshal Kong's mood suddenly improved when he thought about it. When he accompanied Porusalino to the Mariegioa, he even smiled unconsciously on his face.
