Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 188: World Conscription! (Second Update Requested)

Naval Headquarters.

"What are you thinking?!" Sengoku's face darkened, and he rarely cursed: "We are Marines! Marines!"

"You actually want to veto a Vice Admiral who has fought for the Marines and nominate someone we've never heard of?"

"Five Elders, what are you thinking?!"

Sengoku's proposal was for Saitama to succeed Akainu's position.

After contemplating, Akainu nodded.

After all, besides Saitama, there were only two other potential candidates left in the Marines.

Momousagi and Chadan.

Although they had been in the Marines longer than Saitama, their strength and achievements were far inferior to Saitama, who had been continuously fighting.

But now...

The Five Elders actually vetoed Sengoku's proposal and put forward an alternative candidate named "993"?

Are you kidding me!

I haven't even heard of those people you mentioned!

"Sengoku, we are not discussing this with you." A cold and resolute voice came from the Den Den Mushi. "Our decision naturally has its reasons."

"This is our order, and you just need to obey."

"Isn't it because Saitama doesn't listen to anyone else?" Sengoku bluntly pointed out the root of the Five Elders' command.

Saitama is not just a soldier. In his own words, he is a hero first and then a soldier.

Even his identity as a soldier is not important to him.

He just wants to be a hero.

So he didn't even intervene in the battle against Uchiha Madara—because he didn't consider it heroic.

Revolutionary Army? World Government?

In the end, they are just two forces!

I'm not saying whether the royal system is problematic or whether the Revolutionary Army is a clean government. I'm just saying that the battle between these two forces has nothing to do with justice.

Please don't call me for things unrelated to justice.

But this is not what the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons need.

They need soldiers who obey orders!

Soldiers like Sengoku and Garp, who know what it means to obey orders!

"Enough, Sengoku." The voice in the Den Den Mushi was cold and ruthless. "As a soldier, are you determined to disobey your superiors' orders?"

Naturally, soldiers cannot disobey their superiors.

But Sengoku is not someone to be trifled with. He said coldly, "As an important force in maintaining the World Government, I hope that the Marines receive your respect!"

"If you want to select Admirals who are outstanding in both strength and character, I have no objections."

"But the person you mentioned, I have never heard of his name!"

"Making someone who most Marine soldiers have never heard of an Admiral?"

"Only you could come up with such an idea!"

In fact, this is the fundamental reason why Sengoku opposes it.

If you don't want Saitama to become an Admiral, that's fine, I can understand.

After all, the Marines are subordinate to the World Government, and it's normal for you to have some influence on me.

It's not strange to influence the selection of the Admiral position.

But can you at least give me a normal candidate?!

Someone who hasn't even been a Marine for a day to become an Admiral?

Forget about me, will the people below accept it?!

The voice of the phone bug fell silent for a moment, and finally said, "I understand, in a while, I will give you an explanation."

After speaking, he hung up directly.

Sengoku snorted and threw the phone bug aside.

"Hahaha, Sengoku, don't always look so gloomy!" Garp laughed heartily, then handed over a bag of senbei, "Here, have a senbei to calm down."

"Why do you care so much about the World Government playing these tricks?"

Sengoku sat down angrily and took a bite of the senbei, as if biting an enemy.

In fact, he also knew that the World Government had done many things that they couldn't agree with, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Not to mention the atrocities of the Celestial Dragons, which were enough to make many Marine soldiers resentful.

But what can be done?

In the end, it was still up to Sengoku to appease the Marines bit by bit.

Because of the actions of the Celestial Dragons, sometimes Sengoku couldn't even speak of "justice" with such righteous words!

"I don't think it's a big deal not to become an Admiral. If you become an Admiral, there will be a lot of trouble. Maybe it's not the kind of life Saitama wants." Garp laughed and bit into the senbei.

"Like me, why become a damn Admiral? Isn't it good to be a Vice Admiral?"

Sengoku glanced at him and didn't say anything....

In fact, Garp did have the qualifications to say such things.

It was him, who, thirty-eight years ago, single-handedly stopped the unstoppable attack of the Rocks Pirates in the Valley of the Gods, and together with Roger, destroyed the entire pirate crew.

Thus, he was hailed as a Marine hero!

However, the reason he joined forces with the pirates was to protect the Celestial Dragons and the slaves.

Because of some things at that time, his heart was extremely repulsed by being an Admiral - whenever the Celestial Dragons were injured, it was always the Admiral who had to intervene!

So he remained as a Vice Admiral, not because Marine didn't promote him, but because he didn't want to be promoted!

"This time is different!" Sengoku said coldly, "Saitama's achievements, strength, and character all qualify him to be an Admiral!"

"And now, we can't find another candidate in Marine."

Momousagi and Chaton have enough qualifications and their strength is barely comparable, but why choose someone inferior when we can have the best?

But Marine is ultimately a subordinate department of the World Government, a military organization that needs to obey superiors.

Sengoku finally sighed, "Let's see what the Five Elders will do in the end."

About an hour later, Sengoku received another phone bug call from the Five Elders.

As he listened to the answer on the phone, Sengoku's expression went from furrowed brows to gradually relaxed.

Three days later.

Saitama looked at Zephyr, who was running towards him with a smile on his face, and then looked at the propaganda leaflet that Zephyr had just handed him.

"To make up for the loss of the highest combat power at Naval Headquarters, it has been decided to recruit strong individuals to join the Marines, with the highest rank being Admiral?" Saitama frowned as he looked at the words on the leaflet.

Zephyr laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, I've already put your name in, you should thank me and Sengoku for going through so much trouble to let you participate!"

That expression seemed as if the position of the heavens was already waiting for Saitama.

On the other hand, Saitama still had a strange expression and thought to himself.

"Isn't this just conscription?"

I recommend a book to my friend, "Pokémon: Supreme Recharge System," a legendary work by the god-tier author Xuebing. I feel like it can compete with this masterpiece.
