Chapter 365 Navy Recommendation: White Ghost!
"The King's Shichibukai System?!"
"Give the seven pirates special rights and qualifications, and let them enjoy freedom under the sun, and can [legally] carry out plunder..."
"I disagree!"
"This is a blasphemy against justice!"
"What do the officials of the World Government want to do?!"
"Our navy is not dead yet!"
Naval Headquarters, Marineland, Central Conference Room.
Due to a ridiculous order from the World Government, all the high-level officers of the Navy Headquarters gathered in this small office. Two generals, the legendary lieutenant general, the chief staff officer, and three monster rising stars were all in one room.
At this moment.
Whether it is a relatively peaceful "dove".
Or a radical and brave "hawk".
Even the "neutralists" who always liked to drink tea and drink water in the past.
In the conference room, almost all the naval officers expressed their clear and extremely objectionable stance towards the so-called [Shichibukai System] given by Marshal Kong!
There was a lot of noise in the entire conference room.
The high-ranking naval officers all had red faces and excited expressions, and their large gestures and movements fully demonstrated their inner resistance.
The justice of the navy is to maintain law and order on the sea and protect innocent people.
The primary goal of these two items is to fight against those evil, cruel and evil pirates!
The World Government wants to recruit powerful pirates to become their fighting force, and even gives those pirates "legal plundering rights", so what does it need the navy to do?
Marshal Kong sat at the top of the conference table with a cold expression, looking coldly at the noise of the generals below.
As the marshal of the Navy Headquarters, how could he agree to such a ridiculous system?
But...
A look of weakness flashed across Marshal Kong's eyes, recalling the scene when he went to Marigioa yesterday afternoon.
"Cyborg Kong! It's not your turn to interfere with the World Government's affairs!"
"The Navy just needs to do your job!"
"What's more, isn't the so-called [Great Pirate Age] in which pirates appear so frequently now caused by the navy's incompetence?"
"Just go and inform this matter honestly!"
"..."
Although [Marshal of the Navy] is already the supreme position in the Navy Headquarters, he is still not considered a top figure in the world government hierarchy.
The attitude of the Five Old Stars towards the successive navy marshals is not at all respectful. It can only be described in one word: they come when called upon and go away when waved.
Regarding this special system formulated by the Supreme Five Old Stars personally, the Navy Headquarters, whether it is a marshal or a general, has no ability to resist.
As the bald five old stars once said to Cyborg Kong, the navy only needs to accept the implementation of this system honestly.
Beyond that, there was nothing the Navy could do.
When the noise in the conference room lasted for a while, it gradually calmed down.
Marshal Kong sighed.
"Everyone, the King's Shichibukai system was formulated and confirmed to be implemented by Wu Laoxing himself. Wu Laoxing told the navy about this matter, but he only needs the navy's help to refer to the candidates for the Shichibukai."
There was chaos in the office again.
Already sitting in the position of [General], almost no one here is unclear about the nature of the World Government, not to mention that this is an order from the [Five Old Stars].
Under the pressure of the words [五老星], only those few people in the conference room were qualified to speak.
"What a bunch of troublesome old guys..."
Monkey D. Garp frowned, not showing the carelessness of the past at all, and there was no hint of respect for the Five Old Stars in his words.
In the entire navy, only he, a [hero] who has made immortal achievements, is qualified to say such words, and he will not be held accountable by the Five Old Stars afterwards.
Marshal Kong pretended not to hear anything and told the World Government, or to be precise, the general requirements of the Five Old Stars for the Shichibukai.
"Ahem!"
To the surprise of everyone present, General Zefa was the first to speak.
"I have a proposal."
"Who is it?"
"White ghost!"
A reasonable and unexpected pirate was thrown out by Zefa lightly.
"This is impossible! Zefa!"
Marshal Kong frowned and said solemnly.
"The things White Ghost has done include an [unforgivable crime]! He violated the majesty of the Celestial Dragons!"
"Anyway, isn't White Ghost a pirate? Didn't he fight several monsters in the new world several times? Isn't he strong enough?"
Zefa threw out a series of rhetorical questions one after another.
"Even abuse...well, offending the majesty of the Celestial Dragon, doesn't it also prove his 'ultimate evil' as a [pirate]?"
Under Zefa's successive questions.
The other senior generals in the conference room also slowly reacted.
The Navy has no ability to resist the orders of the World Government, especially the personal orders from the Five Old Stars.
In that case, it would be better to make a fuss about the candidates for the Shichibukai.
And there are many top pirates known to the generals in the conference room.
There happens to be one.
Cruel enough, evil enough, and strong enough!
More importantly, he is clearly opposed to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, but he does not commit any crime against ordinary people. He is even more active in fighting pirates than many hawkish navies!
Frankly speaking.
Judging from the perspective of a pirate, [White Ghost] is indeed very qualified!
The more important reason is that the vast majority of senior officers in the Navy Headquarters are not disgusted with White Ghost. On the contrary, they even have a vague liking for him!
"Pfft hahaha! White Ghost, Shichibukai?!"
Garp let out a hearty laugh, and the suffocated breath that had just settled on his face was swept away.
"If I can vote, I will be the first to vote for it!
"After all, that kid was the first super pirate to defeat a Celestial Dragon and escape from the hands of an admiral! Hahahaha!"
"Garp!!"
Sengoku glared at Garp angrily, "Didn't you bring Porusalino with you and fail to capture the White Ghost?" Why do you have to drag me out alone to discuss it?
Warring States coughed a few times and said, "Well, if I can, I will also vote for you. White Ghost's strength and prestige are at least enough."
"Well, I agree with that."
The chief staff officer of the headquarters, Lieutenant General He, also smiled and nodded slightly.
"All the standards of White Ghost are in line with all the requirements of this system, and even far exceed it.
"If the World Government really intends to regard the Shichibukai as one of the forces that suppresses the sea, I think the Shichibukai at least need a backbone who can suppress the situation, and the White Ghost is quite good."
"I object!"
Sakaski, whose expression was as cold as iron, spoke slowly, and his voice was as cold as the calf under his right foot, which was made of cooled magma.
The monster Lieutenant General, who had lost a calf in the O'Hara Demon Slaying Order incident, did not follow the advice of others and asked for a pair of mechanical prostheses from Dr. Vegapunk.
Instead, it took several years to refine the ability of rock berry fruits to replenish the remaining body with the cooled solid magma.
“I’m not just against the candidate [White Ghost], I’m also against the system of [Ocean Shichibukai]!”
Sakaski said coldly.
Under this representative who was almost regarded as the leader of the faction, almost all the hawkish marines in the conference room voted against it.
"I think~ Since I can't resist, I can only compromise and choose the best~"
Porusalino lowered his head, looked at his newly trimmed nails, and spoke calmly.
"Not to mention that scary monster-like guy~ If we can get him into the same camp, it would be a great thing~"
After Porusalino expressed his attitude, most neutrals also chose to support it.
Among the three main factions of the Navy, the hawks clearly opposed any system regarding the "Shichibukai under the King", while the doves and neutrals chose to support "White Ghost" to become the first Shichibukai.
Marshal Kong, who was sitting at the head of the desk, now understood what the generals were thinking.
The World Government wants to establish the Shichibukai System, no problem!
Then the Navy will do its best to recommend a person who is unlikely to become a Shichibukai to serve as a Shichibukai!
The final choice was once again transferred to the hands of Wulaoxing.
"This is a conspiracy to force the world government to give in..."
Marshal Kong smiled bitterly, then turned solemn.
"I also vote for [White Ghost]!"
Now we have to see if the Five Old Stars really want to completely ignore the opinions of the navy and forcibly promote the Shichibukai system! Thank you very much to "Si Mo Fante" and "Broad Like the Sea" for the 100 starting coins/book coins reward! !
