Chapter 158 Nami’s hostility! Wulaoxing’s concerns!
Fortunately, Zefa was nearby at the time, otherwise Ain would probably have been caught out with the embarrassing incident of bedwetting when he was a child.
“It’s not impossible to see Vegapunk, but not now.”
Porusalino touched his chin and said, although nominally Vegapunk is under the control of the Navy But even with his knees, he knew that the World Government must have a back-up plan.
Unfortunately, he traveled too early, and the same goes for the passers-by in the chat group. We still don’t know what the World Government’s plans are.
Fortunately, Porusalino asked the Five Old Stars for the 'control' of Vegapunk in advance, and the Five Old Stars had to give him some face as a naval marshal and the newly promoted 'World's Strongest'.
At least until they find a way to restrain Porusalino, the Five Old Stars and the World Government will not take action against Vegapunk.
"Huh? It seems like you have some serious plans?"
Haihara Ai raised her eyebrows slightly. She has been in the pirate world for such a long time, and she also has some understanding of the situation in this world. Have enough understanding.
On the surface, the world government is a bit like the United Nations in her world, but in fact it is not the same thing at all.
It not only dominates all countries, but also rules the entire world with absolute violence and power.
Even the navy, which claims to be upholding justice, is essentially just one of the thugs of the World Government.
Devil Fruits and extraordinary abilities such as Haki are enough to make numbers meaningless. Even ordinary people who are lucky enough to obtain Devil Fruit abilities are not enough to compete with the huge world government.
The strong are supreme, and the top strong can easily suppress an entire country by themselves. In the navy alone, Haibara Ai knows of six or seven such strong men.
Even below the top strong men, there are those at the next level who can also defeat the country by one person, such as Vivian, who defeated two giant heroes one against two in the small garden.
The number is only much higher than that of the top powerhouses, and this is only the apparent strength of the navy. God knows how many trump cards the World Government, as the superior of the navy, has.
It is almost impossible for Haibara Ai to launch a bottom-up revolution in such a world.
"You will know after a while, now is not the time to talk."
Polusalino looked relaxed, not because he was worried that Haihara Ai would leak the secret, but mainly because Foolproof.
After all, Haibara Ai doesn't have the super ability to see, hear, color or even perceive malice like him. There is no room for resistance when encountering the ability to spy on thoughts such as the Staring Fruit.
"Really, that's really exciting..."
Haihara Ai chuckled, seeming to have guessed Porusalino's thoughts, but she didn't mind, good patience is what everyone wants. Essential traits for scientific researchers.
‘Dong dong dong…’
Before Porusalino could speak, he heard a knock on the door of the lounge.
Wearing a white female soldier uniform and a justice trench coat, Nami opened the door and walked in. A pair of big eyes first glanced at Haibara Ai warily, and then turned to look at Polusa. Lino.
As Porusalino was promoted to Admiral of the Navy, Nami, who was Porosalino's adjutant, was also promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the headquarters.
If it weren't for her being too young, she might even break the record set by Porusalino for the fastest promotion to colonel in the department.
"Marshal Porusalino, it will be your turn to take the stage to deliver the inaugural speech soon, so please prepare as soon as possible!"
Nami said solemnly, with an expressionless face. , as if the relationship between her and Porusalino was purely official.
Ever since watching Ain turn Haibara Ai from a little girl into a beautiful girl with her own eyes, Nami has been extremely vigilant.
It was not to compete for favor in front of Porusalino, but because he was worried that Haibara Ai came here for the position of Gion's fiancée.
There are many girls around Porusalino, and even Nami cannot escape his 'claws'.
But most of the girls who stayed with Porusalino were lovers, and some were mavericks like Esdeath. Only Gion was the 'main palace'.
The reason why Nami is so hostile and wary towards Haihara Ai is because Haihara Ai will never accept the same identity as Nami and Hancock. In other words, she is A potential competitor to Gion.
"Okay, I understand." Porusalino stood up with a smile, taking advantage of Nami's opportunity to stare at Haibara Ai, he slapped Nami's butt a little harshly, and gave her a Startled.
However, before Nami could get angry, Porusalino had already walked out of the lounge and walked towards the podium standing in the square.
Seeing this scene, Nami had no time to warn Haibara Ai, so she had to speed up and follow her.
"What a playboy..."
Haihara Ai, who stayed in the lounge, rubbed her forehead and opened the dimensional chat group. Sure enough, she saw Porusalino open live broadcast room.
She doesn’t need to follow Porusalino like that silly Nami to experience a VIP-level live broadcast.
【bite! Haihara Ai enters Porusalino's live broadcast room! 】
[Fubuki: Ai-chan, you are finally online. I thought you were locked up by that guy Porusalino for this and that~]
[Haihara Ai: I I have no interest in competing with other women for a Playboy! Falling in love is so stupid! 】
[Passers who want to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: You bitch, please show some respect! Boss Kizaru is my dear boss! What a playboy, that’s called fraternity! 】
【Haihara Ai: Shut up! Damn it! 】
[Passers who want to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: Humph! A good man doesn’t fight with a venomous woman! It’s started! It’s started! Look! Boss Kizaru finally appears! 】
【Xiaolin: So many navy and giants, it looks really spectacular! ]
[Esdeath: Is this the navy? It looks interesting. I wonder how the empire’s navy compares to them...]
[Hermione Granger :oh! No! She looked to be at least sixty feet tall! Is this a giant? 】
[Xiao Mei: So many people... It feels like the entire Wutan City is standing together! 】
[Tony Stark: Hey! Am I not late? Wow, this is quite a scene! 】
[Orochimaru: Oh, just one promotion ceremony can mobilize tens of thousands of people to participate. The strength of the navy is really amazing...]
[Jotaro Kujo: Is it justice? ...It looks really good...]
[Kamado Tanjiro: Wow! So many people! 】
[Passers who want to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: Didn’t Tanjiro exercise today? 】
[Kamado Tanjiro: Ah! yes! I'm waiting for Master Lintaki to teach me how to practice swordsmanship! 】
[Passers who want to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: You have to work harder. Although Mr. Kizaru has promised to help, you must also be able to protect yourself. 】
[Tony Stark: In this era, you are still wielding a knife stupidly. Save some dimensional coins, and I will sell you a steel suit at a cheaper price later. 】
[Passers who want to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: Is there such a good thing? I want it too! ]
[Xiaolin: Well, it’s a good thing to exercise a little, otherwise you’ll end up with low back pain like me when you get older... Well, it’s so painful~]
[Haihara Ai:...Xiaolin, you are only in your twenties, right? 】
[Xiaolin: Ah, the girl’s age is a secret! 】
[Haihara Ai:...So you still remember that you are a girl? 】
[Tony Stark: It’s amazing... You said that Porusalino is now the Admiral of the Navy. Is it possible to purchase more weapons from Stark Industries to completely renovate the navy? 】
[Orochimaru: Unfortunately, as far as I know, Porusalino-kun seems to be more inclined to introduce technology than directly purchase finished products. 】
[Tony Stark: Oh, this is such sad news! 】
......
While the group of friends in the live broadcast room were chatting, Marshal Warring States' resignation speech finally came to an end, and he walked off the stage amidst bursts of warm applause and cheers. , to change his marshal uniform.
From now on, the Navy has lost a Warring States Marshal, but has gained a Warring States Supervisor.
At the same time, under countless eager eyes, Porusalino, wearing a marshal's military uniform and a justice trench coat, also officially stepped onto the podium.
"Before starting today's inaugural speech, first of all, on behalf of the entire navy and countless people under the protection of the navy, I would like to pay the highest respect to Marshal Warring States..."
It is rare that Porusalino failed to express Despite the laziness and leisureliness of the past, at least in the eyes of the vast majority of sailors who were not particularly familiar with him, Porusalino, the new marshal, was majestic enough.
The only pity is that Porusalino's young and handsome face seems a little out of place in such a serious occasion.
“Salute!”
However, with Porusalino’s order, tens of thousands of sailors also obeyed the orders and saluted the Warring States Marshal who had just stepped off the podium. A military salute. The entire Marine Fando was silent at this moment. Obviously, there was no part in paying tribute to the Warring States Marshal in the original process. It was just that Porusalino believed that the former Warring States Marshal and now the Warring States Supervisor deserved the tribute of the entire navy.
"This guy Porusalino..."
The Warring States Marshal, who was about to step down, was trembling slightly.
Looking at the respectful expressions on the faces of countless sailors, the original feeling of disappointment completely disappeared, replaced by incomparable relief.
Being able to be recognized by the entire navy for his term of office is absolutely satisfying for the Warring States Marshal.
At the same time, former general Zefa, who was standing next to Lieutenant General Garp, stared at Porusalino very unhappily. Thanks to him for teaching this bastard so responsibly, he did not see Polusalino when he retired. Nuo made such a big scene!
Although it was Zefa himself who refused the retirement ceremony, General Zefa suddenly regretted seeing his old friend from the Warring States Period trembling slightly with excitement.
To say that his qualifications and achievements are not much worse than those of the Warring States Period. Even if the general is not as good as the marshal, it is not too much to create a scene of half the scale, right?
"Wow! I will do this when I retire! Xiaohe remembers to remind me of Porusalino when he comes back!"
Zefa is still regretting it, while others are weirding out Lieutenant General Karp couldn't wait to book a tribute project for the entire navy when he retires.
In the past, the older generation of navy veterans retired casually. At most, they could gather a few old guys for a meal and that would be it. How could you imagine such a fancy job.
"Hmph! The recruits have to pay tribute to the generals and marshals. When will it be your turn to be a little lieutenant general of this headquarters?"
Before Lieutenant General Ahe could speak, Zefa He retorted very unhappily.
No matter how good the gadget Porusalino comes up with, it has nothing to do with him being a retired former general.
Zefa is not thick-skinned enough to choose to come back in order to pay tribute to the sailors, but why should he let Garp, an old mad dog, enjoy the treatment that he cannot experience?
"What do you mean, old bastard! Do you want to fight?!"
Lieutenant General Garp was almost furious. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of marines watching below, he would have fought with this old bastard no matter what. .
What does it mean to be a small lieutenant general? If he didn’t want to be a dog to the Celestial Dragons, would a dignified naval hero not be able to become a general?
"Okay, everyone, be quiet, don't let the younger generations see the joke!"
Lieutenant General Ahe whispered, for fear that these two old guys who are not stingy are really here. Fight.
However, Lieutenant General Ahe was quite satisfied with the temporary tribute added by Porusalino.
She herself doesn't care, mainly because she considers the benefits of doing so for the future of the navy.
Even old guys like Zefa who have retired will be moved by it. You can imagine how hard the younger generation will work to get this kind of treatment when they retire.
Although Porusalino did not clearly state that the salute is only for navy marshals, but if you want to receive this kind of treatment, you must at least be a senior lieutenant general with outstanding merits, right?
“Ah, Mr. Porusalino is really... Marshal-like, but having said that, that feeling should be pretty good, right?”
General Aokiji, who was standing on both sides of the podium, muttered in a low voice that since the O'Hara incident, Kuzan's personality has become more and more lazy and he rarely cares about anything in particular.
But watching the scene of tens of thousands of sailors paying tribute to the Warring States Marshal just now made Kuzan feel excited in his heart that he had not seen for a long time.
He couldn't help but recall that when he first joined the navy, his mind was filled with the idea of safeguarding justice, and his blood that gradually became cold even began to boil faintly.
"..."
Sakaski rarely spoke to refute. After losing the possibility of becoming a naval marshal, he seemed to have found a new direction for his efforts.
If when he retires, he can receive the same treatment as the Warring States Marshal, receiving tribute from countless navy, even if he fails to become the Navy Marshal, it does not seem to be a special regret.
However, not everyone is happy to see this scene of the Navy uniting as one. The Five Old Stars far away in Mariejoia finally managed to get rid of the Celestial Dragons who wanted to obtain pure gold, but in the broadcast picture They saw a scene that made them very unhappy.
Tens of thousands of naval elites were banned under the command of Porusalino. This alone was enough to make the five old stars on pins and needles.
Coupled with the fact that Porusalino deliberately paid tribute to the Warring States Marshal, he not only won the hearts of many neutrals in the navy, but more importantly, set an example.
A model that may allow the navy to gradually escape from the control of the world government, called the Justice Navy.
Logically speaking, this should be considered a good thing, but in the eyes of the Five Old Stars, the navy should be a sharp blade in the hands of the World Government and a lackey under the command of the Celestial Dragons.
Anyone who attempts to resist is undoubtedly a traitor!
“We can’t just sit back and watch that guy Porusalino do whatever he wants, otherwise when he retires, will the Navy still be the Navy of the World Government?”
Theoretically, it has the closest relationship with the Navy. The close Saint Wuchuli said coldly, this bearded five-old star used to favor the navy the most, but when the navy showed signs of being out of control, he was the first to jump out. To target the navy.
In fact, even if the Navy shows signs of breaking away from the World Government, it will be at least dozens or even hundreds of years before it actually happens. At least until the Navy obtains sufficient funding, it is impossible to operate independently from the World Government. .
However, during this period, the Navy will gradually break away from the control of the World Government, which means that the power in the hands of Saint Vauchuli, who is closest to the Navy, will gradually shrink.
This was the main reason why he couldn't wait to jump out and want to teach Porusalino a lesson.
“That guy Porusalino has just come to power, and it’s not a fault for the navy to pay tribute to the Warring States Period. We have no reason to target Porusalino. If we act rashly, no one knows what will happen next. What's the matter?"
It's a pity that the Five Old Stars are not of the same mind. Although they also dislike Porusalino, before collecting the new batch of heavenly gold, Saint Peter
I don’t want to take the initiative to provoke Porusalino.
In his opinion, stability is the key at this stage. Originally, they had been very unhappy with the Tianlong people on the issue of pure gold. Fortunately, there are not too many Tianlong people who know about pure gold for the time being. This pressure on the Five Old Stars Still able to bear it.
But if the Tianshangjin thing is also messed up, and the remaining Tianlong people are also recruited, even if they have Yim's support behind them, it will be difficult to withstand the anger of so many Tianlong people.
For this reason, Saint Peter was almost vomiting blood during this period, and even his golden hair became a little dull.
“As long as we still control the navy’s military expenditures, we don’t have to worry about Porusalino falling out with us. No matter how troublesome he is and how powerful he is, can he still feed millions of people on behalf of the world government? Not in the Navy?”
Nasushiro Sei, holding a samurai sword in his hand, sneered disdainfully. As the God of Finance, he is the closest to practical work among the Five Old Stars.
No organization can live without a stable source of funding, let alone a behemoth like the Navy with millions of members.
Not to mention Porusalino, even if Sengoku, who had just retired, helped him stand up, it was impossible for the Navy, which was highly dependent on World Government funds, to give up this money.
Millions of sailors, thousands of warships, and hundreds of naval branches, large and small, together constitute the navy.
As the largest armed group in history, the Navy represents not only violence that can easily destroy one or even several countries, but also an unparalleled gold-eating beast.
Even if he had mastered the treasure of Sky Island, Porusalino, whose net worth alone was even higher than that of the Five Old Stars and most of the Celestial Dragons, would not be able to support millions of sailors.
"What Saint Nashoulang said is to be patient a little longer until Seraph can go into actual combat... Don't forget that thanks to Porusalino, the most important thing we lack now is time."
Mar Zi Sheng stroked his long beard that he was proud of and smiled with a hint of joking.
The other five old stars also smiled when they heard this. With pure gold in their hands, the last thing they are afraid of is someone wanting to waste time with them.
Only Saint Vochuli, who felt that his power was being challenged, was not in a good mood, but even the superior Five Old Stars could not go against the wishes of the other four Five Old Stars and target Porusalino and navy.
In desperation, Saint Vauciuli could only curse secretly, and then focused his attention on the broadcast screen again to see what other tricks Porusalino was planning to do.
Marine Fando, in the audience seat some distance away from the podium, Yongji, who was still laughing and joking, had already obediently shut his mouth. The scene of tens of thousands of marines ordering and prohibiting was still very shocking.
Germa 66 is known as a 'war expert', relying not only on the fearless clone soldiers and Gaji's transformation technology, but also on Yongji, who has been on the battlefield for many years at a young age. He is also a very good warrior leader himself.
Of course it is not difficult to see how powerful the navy in front of us is. Even the most elite clone vanguard force of Germa 66 will probably not be a match for this group of navy.
The combat power of the army cannot be compared, and the individual strength is even more incomparable.
Just by glancing over, Yongji could sense several threatening guys.
If the fight really started, there would probably be dozens of characters present who could hang him up and beat him up. Even if Iji, the strongest among the three brothers, was here, he would probably not be ranked in the top ten.
As a reformed person, Yongji just lost his emotions and fear, but he was not a brainless fool. Naturally, he did not dare to act at such a time.
"Reiju, when the ceremony is over, come with me to visit that Marshal Porusalino!"
Gaji's tone was full of impatience. From the performance of the navy just now, It is not difficult to see that Porusalino, the new marshal, is already well received by the public.
This means that as long as he can get the friendship of Porusalino, it is equivalent to getting the support of the entire navy, and the restoration of the Germa Kingdom will no longer be just his fantasy!
"Okay, I understand, Father."
Reiju bit her lower lip lightly, staring at Porusalino on the podium with her beautiful eyes without blinking.
A few years have passed, and she is no longer the little girl she was. Now she should be able to stand in front of Porusalino and let him see if she has 'grown up', right?
“The hope of the restoration of the Germa Kingdom is all pinned on you, Reiju! If we can’t get the support of the navy, no matter how many war hires we complete and how much commissions we earn, we can’t There is no way to get a real foothold!”
Gaji recalled the scenes of failure due to various reasons every time he was close to the restoration of the country, with a slightly gloomy face. It was full of anger and unwillingness.
If it weren't for the World Government and the Navy constantly causing trouble behind the scenes, with the strength of Germa 66, where wouldn't they be able to occupy a piece of land that belongs to them to rebuild the Germa Kingdom?
