General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 690 The incompatible Akainu and Aokiji
"Who told you that the marshal must be selected from among the governors?"

Black Horse looked at Luo Xia with a smile.

He just liked seeing Rorschach lose his composure.

"Isn't it? As far as I know, all the previous naval marshals were selected from the governor general, that is, the level above the general. The former commander-in-chief, and later the Warring States man, before he became the naval marshal, not Are they all admirals?" Rorschach asked.

"They are indeed marshals promoted from admirals, but that does not mean that admirals who are not admirals are not eligible to run for election."

Lieutenant General He explained.

It turns out that in the selection of naval marshal, in addition to the marshal himself and the generals who are eligible to participate in the election, other qualified candidates include the chief of general staff and naval generals with high enough strength and prestige.

For example, Lieutenant General He actually had the qualifications to compete for the navy marshal, but she gave up.

As for naval admirals with high enough strength and prestige, it is also easy to understand.

"When I became marshal of the navy, Zefa and Garp were also qualified to compete with me for this position, but they both chose to give up. Zefa is a general, but Garp is not."

But if you think about it carefully, Rorschach is right.

It's not that he thinks Akainu is not qualified for the position of marshal.

But the justice practiced by Akainu is too extreme, completely contrary to the moderation and stability he has insisted on for decades.

After listening to several people's explanations, Rorschach finally understood.

Therefore, he simply looked at the remaining Aokiji and Akainu.

The reason why he has rarely stayed in the Holy Land over the years is because Malinfando is not that far away. In addition, the Holy Land also has a commander-in-chief, and he is over seventy years old, so it is not suitable for him to go back and forth between the two sides.

Because Akainu listens to the World Government more than he does.

Warring States' face darkened, he stared at the two of them, and said angrily: "You guys just give up before I even finish my words. How afraid are you people of taking on these important responsibilities? Don't forget that you are the top decision-makers of the Navy Headquarters. It’s the admiral!”

"So that's it."

Luo Xia shrugged, spread his hands and said: "In that case, why bother and hold a meeting? Just submit the list of people who want to be marshals and let the five old stars pick one from them. It will save trouble." .”

"Times have changed. The voting selection system has been abandoned. Instead, the navy first recommends a few suitable candidates, and then the world government's highest authority makes the final decision and appoints them."

Seeing Luo Xia's silence, Dark Horse couldn't help but stretched out his hand and poked his shoulder and said with a smile: "How are you? Are you interested in competing for this position of marshal? If you treat me to a meal, I can vote for you. . I think you have a good chance of being elected. After all, you have killed both Golden Lion and White Beard. Now, on the sea outside, someone has given you a new nickname, the Legend Killer, who specializes in killing legendary pirates. By."

"The same goes for me." Kizaru agreed slowly under the dark gaze of Sengoku.

He is still too young now, and this is the time to use his blood and passion to lead the Navy to safeguard justice around the world, instead of sitting in Marigio or staying at the Navy headquarters early, doing civilian work for retirement.

"That's it, but the Admiral is the supreme commander of hundreds of thousands of sailors around the world. The selection of such a key position is not a child's play. Once you sit in this position, you can't do things based on your own personal preferences, but We must take responsibility, be responsible for the interests of the world government, be responsible for the lives of thousands of naval branches and hundreds of thousands of sailors around the world, be responsible for the lives and property of more than 100 participating countries and more than a billion people..."

Warring States nodded.

Warring States hesitated to speak, feeling his teeth hurt from the anger of two lazy guys, Luo Xia and Kizaru.

"In other words, you won't vote now?" Rorschach asked doubtfully.

"Yeah. Then it was before, now it is now."

He wanted to give Rorschach a scolding.

"So, we can actually choose anyone. Anyway, the final decision-making power is not in our hands, but is decided by the Five Old Stars, right?" Luo Xia pouted.

Once you become a naval marshal, you basically have no chance to personally lead troops to sea to fight pirates, because you have to sit in the Holy Land and protect the safety of the Holy Land.

To be honest, Warring States himself preferred to hand over the position of marshal to Qing Pheasant.

If this guy came to be the marshal of the navy, Sengoku would be worried that the Holy Land would be stolen. This guy was either still napping or cutting his nails.

Warring States looked at Rorschach, "You are now almost the same as Garp, with an exception. Although you are still a vice admiral, your personal strength has reached the level of a general, coupled with your strong prestige, and your reputation around the world. His huge influence is enough to qualify him as a candidate for navy marshal."

By then, the newly appointed naval marshal will probably be stationed in Mariejoia for a long time, responsible for the remote command and dispatch of naval personnel and other complicated tasks.

When Kizaru, who was grinding his nails, heard this, he also raised his hand and pouted, "I'll give up too."

Everyone in the Warring States Period can imagine that if Akainu takes over, the navy will definitely increase its investment in war against pirates in the next development.

By then, the peace that has been maintained between the navy and pirates for decades will be completely broken, and wars that can devour countless sailors will come one after another.

This is definitely not what Warring States wants to see.

"What a stupid nickname." Luo Xia twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at the people around him in confusion: "How to choose the position of Navy Marshal? Is there really any voting? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It used to be." Warring States said: "At that time, the selection of marshals involved votes. Generals above the brigadier general of the headquarters could each cast a vote for several candidates who were qualified for selection. Whoever gets the number of votes The most naturally means that the candidate has the highest reputation in the navy, and of course can secure the position of marshal."

Warring States' tone hesitated, but he still nodded, "That's right."

Warring States rubbed his brows, too lazy to look at Kizaru's old, wretched face.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's because I really can't do it." Rorschach said with a grimace, "I'm fine with beating and killing people, but let me do the complicated political work and fight with those officials from the World Government who have their noses in the sky. I'm afraid I'll go to Xianjin City and be imprisoned just three days after taking office."

But the Warring States Period also knew that among the Five Old Stars, the most preferred marshal candidate was not Aokiji, but Akainu.

This time, the naval headquarters in Marineland will be abandoned and become a residential area for naval families and a cemetery for martyrs. The new headquarters will be moved to the G1 branch in the new world.

As for Kizaru...

"you……"

The sacrifice of sailors will become the norm.

Before Warring States finished speaking, Luo Xia suddenly raised his hand and said without hesitation: "I give up my qualification to run."

No matter how inhumane the orders and requirements are, Akainu will do it without hesitation.

Seeing Sengoku looking at Aokiji and Akainu, everyone else in the conference hall fell silent and looked at the two.

Aokiji raised his head, which had been looking at the table below him, and looked at Akainu, who was sitting directly opposite him. Under the gaze of everyone, he said directly: "I want to become the new marshal of the navy."

Akainu's face, which was as tough as steel, revealed a cruel smile, "I also want to become a marshal."

Aoki's eyes were cold and he said unceremoniously: "I will not let you become the marshal of the navy. In this position, Rorschach can sit, Porusalino can sit, I can sit, but you can't sit." "Really? "Then I want to sit down for a while?" Akainu opened the corners of his mouth, revealing his white teeth, like a ferocious wolf showing its sharp fangs.

"Then I have no choice but to take action. Let's duel. The winner will become the marshal, and the loser will leave the navy."

The words coming out of Qing Zhi's mouth were devoid of any emotion.

As his words came out, the temperature in the entire conference hall suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, as if it was in an ice cellar.

"I agree with your proposal." Akainu didn't take a step back, folding his arms and immediately agreed.

Seeing the two people in a tense state, everyone else in the conference hall didn't know what to say for a moment.

Rorschach sighed inwardly.

Although he had known that this scene would come sooner or later, seeing an irreparable rift between two people he respected with his own eyes still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Sengoku spoke with an angry voice.

He glared at Aokiji and Akainu and said, "What are you two doing? Are you going to start a fight here? A dignified naval admiral, the highest combat power of the world government, both belong to the justice camp, but you want to fight in the same room and in the same room? What is your position as marshal? What? Do you want to fight for the lollipop in the child’s hand? Please calm down!”

Sengoku's roar shook the entire conference room.

Aokiji and Akainu were indifferent, one still looked at each other with an indifferent expression, and the other with a cruel expression.

After a long silence, Qingzhi spoke first.

He looked at Akainu and said: "No matter what, I will not let a butcher with the blood of innocent people on his hands become the helmsman of the entire force of justice. Sakaski, as a navy that upholds justice and protects civilians, your Those actions are too extreme. If you are allowed to take power, the Navy will follow you on the path of irreversible destruction."

Akainu smiled.

sneer.

"Extreme? You mean... those stupid academics at O'Hara?"

It's okay if Akainu doesn't speak.

As soon as he said O'Hara, Aokiji, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly saw murderous intent in his eyes, and an uncontrollable coldness spread across his body.

"Qing Pheasant!" Warring States shouted quickly.

But it had no effect.

I saw Aokigu placing his hands on the table in front of him, leaning forward, staring at Akainu with bone-cold eyes, "Akainu! I don't want to hear the word O'Hara from your mouth."

This time, he didn't even call out Akainu's name.

The coldness in the voice made Kizaru sitting next to him shiver and he couldn't help but hug his arms tightly.

"What? You are allowed to let O'Hara's orphan go privately, but you are not allowed to kill a few idiots?" Akainu seemed not to see the coldness in Aoki's eyes, and sneered: "I don't know what you are pitying for. A group of criminals who have violated taboos should be killed as a matter of course. What are the rules of the Demon-Slaying Order? Do you want me to teach you?"

"That refuge ship was allowed by the World Government, and those survivors are the ones who are qualified to live!" Aoki said coldly.

"Stay alive? How to live? Where to live? Should you go to the blood pool in the city or feed the ferocious beasts? Or go to the land of endless bridges to build bridges? I killed them to help them escape! You Do you think that knowing that knowledge, the higher ups can still allow them to wander around the world? "Where's your brain?"

Akainu's words were also a reprimand that was not polite at all, making the atmosphere in the conference room seem to be frozen, becoming more and more tense.

Branyu, who was the weakest, had been oppressed by the terrifying aura emanating from the two of them, his lips turned pale, and he was almost hallucinating before his eyes.

Rorschach waved his hand, signaling him to get out quickly.

Brannew quickly left as if he had been granted amnesty.

"Relief? What qualifications do you have to make such a decision for them? Did you ask for their opinions when you killed them? You didn't ask, how do you know if they want to live?! Killing a bunch of unarmed old people Weak women and children, are you still indifferent? Is your heart made of iron?"

The green pheasant retorted.

"My heart is made of magma." Akainu opened his mouth, "Besides, you didn't ask, how do you know if they wanted to die? Maybe, if I didn't take action at that time, they would ask for it later. Let me kill them."

"What did you say?! You butcher!"

With a bang, the tabletop in front of Qing Zhi exploded, and was invaded by extremely cold ice. He stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and a large amount of white cold air came out of his right hand.

"What? Do you want to start the fight here? I think it's better to change the place, otherwise it will be ugly if you lose."

Akainu slowly stood up from his seat, his arms hanging down, and a hot red light emerged from his black-gloved right hand.

In an instant, an extremely cold air that could freeze everything, and an extremely hot air that could melt everything, with the broken tabletop in front of the two people as the boundary, turned the huge temporary conference hall into a two-dimensional space of ice and fire. The world of heaven.

Seeing the two people who were at war with each other, facing each other without giving in, Luo Xia and others present could not sit still. They hurriedly came over and grabbed Aokiji and Akainu who were about to start a fight here after a disagreement.

Sengoku stood up with an unpleasant look on his face. A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Aokiji! Akainu! You two, stop it! If you have different opinions, you can sit down and talk it out. What are you doing? Do you think the pirates will laugh their heads off if you tell others about this?!"

"I have nothing to talk about with him. Let's find a time and place and just use a duel to choose the marshal of the navy!"

Aokiji said, withdrew his cold fist, and walked away without looking at Akainu again.

The red light on Akainu's hand disappeared, he raised his hand to straighten the white military cap on his head, turned around and left without saying anything.

The conference hall was left in a mess, Warring States looked ugly, and Luo Xia and others were speechless.

Warring States sat back in his seat dejectedly, endless worries rising in his heart.

He really couldn't figure out how to deal with the incompatible relationship between Aokiji and Akainu.

He could foresee that no matter who was elected Admiral of the Navy between Aokiji and Akainu, the other would not obey the other's orders.

If things develop to that point, the top brass of the Navy will be completely divided in the future!
After killing Whitebeard, the number of pirates in the New World has increased instead of decreasing. If there is such a big problem within the Navy at this time, then I don't know what the Navy's layout in the New World will look like in the future.

It is hard to say whether we can maintain the status quo, let alone continue to grow and develop.

Warring States didn't worry about it for long. Soon, Brannew, who had returned from his trip, brought him even worse news.

Something happened to Cap.
