Chapter 270 Ares wants the Devil Fruit!
Marine Headquarters Marinevando:
In the navy marshal's office, Sengoku sat on the empty seat that was originally made of steel. There were stacks of documents stacked in front of him, and next to him there was a goat eating the waste paper that Sengoku threw over.
Since returning to the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku has taken over the job of the Navy Marshal. Due to the defeat of the Navy and the death of the Marshal in battle, Sengoku has been troubled by various things.
He thought that even if he wanted to become the marshal of the navy, he would have to wait at least five or six years. Unexpectedly, he took office in a hurry because the marshal was killed.
This is just like how Cyborg took office in a hurry after the last Navy Marshal Brak was killed by Rocks!
“Bulu Bulu!!!”
While the Warring States Period was processing documents, the phone on the desktop rang. As soon as he looked at the portrait, he knew it was the Five Old Stars, Saint Satan!
"Warring States, Sora was killed. From now on, you will be the marshal of the navy. I have sent people there. Let's start the ceremony of marshal's appointment today!"
Saint Satan said calmly, as if to him, the death of a naval marshal was a trivial matter, and it would not affect another person to take office.
"Your Excellency Saint Satan, this naval defeat requires a large amount of pensions, and the navy suffered heavy losses, which requires a huge military expansion expenditure."
"There are many reasons for this defeat. One of the reasons is that our weapons are too different from those of the Wuji Pirates. We need to buy more powerful weapons."
Although Sengoku wanted to question the Five Old Stars, why Marshal Kong was killed by Redfield, but no one from the World Government came to support him.
But he knew that his questioning was completely meaningless. It was impossible for Wulaoxing to admit any mistakes, let alone compensate for it.
So he could only make Wulaoxing bleed from another angle, or let Wulaoxing allocate funds to restore the power of the navy.
Now he finally understands why Ganggukong became groveling in front of Wulaoxing. It was all because Wulaoxing controlled the economic lifeline of the navy, and all military expenses were in the hands of Wulaoxing.
If the navy wants to develop, it cannot do without the Five Old Stars and the World Government. Otherwise, without financial support, the navy cannot afford military expenses, pensions, etc. If the capital chain is broken, the navy will soon fall apart.
"The most important thing now is for you to take office and then stabilize the morale of the military and stabilize the current navy, not to expand the military or anything like that."
"We have already distributed this year's military expenditures. There must be money in the finance and navy finances. You should use that part of the money first."
"After the gold is handed over next year, we will release military funds again!"
After Satan Sheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving Warring States a chance to continue speaking.
Their world government is now restricted by the alliance countries and has the Bailey Seal. It is already short of funds. How can it possibly have extra money for the navy?
"asshole!"
After the phone caller hung up, Seng Guo angrily smashed the table in front of him and scattered a pile of information on the floor.
"Marshal, the induction ceremony is ready and can begin at any time."
At this moment, a sailor from outside ran in to report, but was shocked by Seng Guo's slap.
"I know, I'm going now."
Warring States sighed.
It's so fucking difficult for him to be a marshal in this navy.
The feeling of having his throat locked is really painful, but you can't just think that the person who locked him is angry, just two words, aggrieved!
On top of Marineland Square, more than 40,000 sailors stood solemnly. They should have been glorious, but their moods were somewhat gloomy and sad.
Even Zefa and Lieutenant General Garp, who are admirals of the navy, feel very heavy because this is the second time they have participated in such a ceremony. They have experienced the same shame twice!
With the emergence of Sengoku, all the sailors present set their sights on him. Now Sengoku is the benchmark for the entire navy.
Everyone can have a gloomy face and a heavy heart, but as a naval marshal, he must not show any such emotions.
"Dear colleagues, I am the current Navy Marshal Sengoku. I think you all already know about the unfortunate death of the former Marshal Cyborg Kong."
"We already know who the murderer of Marshal Kong is, and we are ready to capture him, escort him to where I am now, and conduct a public execution in front of all our navy!!"
"Catch the murderer and justice will prevail!"
When Warring States spoke, his tone was exciting and loud, and successfully resonated with everyone present.
"Catch the murderer and justice will prevail!"
"Catch the murderer and justice will prevail!"
"Catch the murderer and justice will prevail!"
"."
Roars like roars were shouted continuously, dispelling the sad and heavy atmosphere before.
Looking at the sailors below who had their fighting spirit reawakened, Warring States couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Now is the period of decline for the navy. If even the faith of the navy under its command is depressed, then the navy will fall into a trough for who knows how long.
At least now, using the method of transferring hatred, the navy's fighting spirit and belief have been awakened.
As for the arrest of the Red Earl, he made it up to deceive others.
Since the Red Earl killed Cyborg Kong, he has escaped into the windless zone and hidden himself. Their navy and the World Government can't find any trace of the Red Earl.
"Just let Garp go out to catch the pirates in the name of catching the Red Earl later!"
Warring States thought in his mind. It can be said that the current navy has no one available. General Zefa has retired, and Garp is unwilling to be promoted to general.
He is a marshal of the navy and does not even have an admiral under his command. He can be said to be alone.
"Fortunately, the Navy just gave birth to two young monster navies. They will be able to take the lead in four or five years."
When Sengoku looked down, he saw two young marines he was very familiar with. They were Sakaski and Porusalino. He saw the growth and potential of these two people, and they were the seedlings of future generals.
Wano Country:
Xia Qi opened the passage to the refuge island in the windless zone, and then the little guys ran out of the mirror excitedly.
Esdeath and Wei Zhuang, who were walking in the front, were already 1.5 meters and 1.6 meters tall, and they were only fourteen years old now.
The two youngest, Ross and Asuna, who were only two years old and had small arms and legs, ran out after their older brothers and sisters.
"Daddy, daddy, hug, hug!!"
The youngest Ross and Asuna had not seen their father for seven or eight days, so after running out and seeing Li Yuan, they ran over excitedly with their little legs.
"Hey, aren't these my lovely Ross and Asuna? How about it? Did you listen to your brothers and sisters when your father is away these days?"
Li Yuan picked up the two little ones one by one and said dotingly.
"Dad, Dad, I am obedient. My brothers and sisters even took me to catch pheasants."
"Dad, Dad, I am also very obedient. Brother Ares even taught me how to box."
Ross and Asuna rolled their eyes, and then started to show off.
Li Yuan and the two little guys were playing around, but as older brothers and sisters, Wei Zhuang and the others were no longer children. They didn't come up for a hug like Ross. In short, the children had grown up and were no longer close to their father. .
"Mother!!!"
Although nine-year-old Ares is no longer close to Li Yuan, he is still very dependent on his mother Yadina.
"Ares, stop being such a spoiled brat. What you want is in your father's hands. You should go find him."
Yadina helplessly looked at her son shaking her arm and said.
Ares is her son. As a mother, can she not know what her son is thinking?
"Oh? Ares, what do you want? Why don't you dare to come to me, and why do you go to your mother to act like a spoiled brat?"
Li Yuan carried Ross and Asuna and walked in front of Yadina, looking at Ares acting coquettishly in amusement.
When Ares was young, she was more attached to him than Ross and Asuna.
Now that he has grown up, he even asks his mother and father for things. This son is too...
"Giggle, geek, geezer, my brother is so shy, let's ask Aunt Yadina to act like a spoiled brat!"
"That's right, my brother doesn't look for his father but his mother. It's so shameful!"
The two little guys, Ross and Asuna, finally got the opportunity to watch their brother digest it, and even made faces, which made Ares so angry that he wanted to beat the two little guys.
"Ares, your father is right here. If you want something, why don't you just ask? Mom, I don't have what you want."
Yadina touched Ares' little head and smiled.
"Dad, I also want to eat Devil Fruit and become a person with abilities like my brothers and sisters."
Ares hesitated for a long time before saying it.
Originally, Li Yuan had already said that he would give Ares the Devil Fruit when he turns ten.
But when the little guy saw that his elder brother and sister had such magical abilities, he naturally didn't want to wait. Anyway, nine and ten years old were about the same, so he wanted to eat in advance.
"I thought it was something, but it turned out to be this. No problem. Since you want to eat, I'll give it to you."
Li Yuan smiled.
The devil fruit in his hand was originally prepared for his child. Since the child wanted to eat it, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Roz, Asuna, come here, give me a hug."
Tianyue knew that Li Yuan was going to get something, so he walked to Li Yuan and hugged Ross and Asuna.
The two little guys, Ross and Asuna, obviously liked their mother more. Before Tianyue Shi reached out, the two little guys struggled to jump out of Li Yuan's embrace and jumped into their mother's arms.
"Ares, this is a list of all the devil fruits I have collected. You choose one."
Li Yuan went back to the room and took out the list of devil fruits and some powerful devil fruits, and gave them to Ares to choose.
"Superman type: Door Fruit, Electric Berry Fruit, Comet Fruit, Fusion Fruit, Box Fruit, and Bag Fruit."
"Natural type·Steam Fruit."
"Ancient animal species: night bat form, iron-feathered giant eagle form."
The ones at the top of the list are the Devil Fruits that Li Yuan considers to be relatively powerful.
