Pirates: The Strongest Justice

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

"You little brat! Didn't I ask you to find pure gold? Why did you catch two pirates?"

Sengoku slapped the newspaper he just got on the desk, and the whole office seemed to shake for a moment.

For him, Atlas got pure gold and was promoted to Marine's fourth Admiral.

Improving Marine's deterrence at sea is far more important than anything else.

After all, since Roger started the Great Pirate Age, the quality of Marine recruits has become worse and worse.

Aside from Atlas, he never saw another monster genius joining Marine.

Decades later, it seems that there is a sense of indolence.

Anyone with a bit of talent wants to go to sea and become a pirate! !

It can be said that Roger's last words are like a key, releasing and infinitely amplifying the worst parts of human nature.

After all, indulgence is far easier than restraint.

"Pure gold? I forgot."

Atlas sat across from him and replied expressionlessly.

"As for those two pirates, they happened to be encountered and captured."

"...What about your Admiral position?"

When Sengoku heard this, the veins on his forehead popped out, and he suppressed the urge to beat this guy.

"The Five Elders have signed the document, and the seat of the Three Admirals is no longer yours."

"It's okay, but your investiture ceremony may have to be postponed."

Atlas shrugged relaxedly, looking like he didn't deserve a beating.

"...That pirate under Whitebeard?!"

Sengoku suddenly frowned.

To be honest, he is not willing to start a war with Whitebeard now.

He is about to be promoted to Marine Marshal, and the forces on the sea now maintain a delicate balance.

Marine, Sanko, Shichibukai.

Three pillars.

The world government is like an emperor on the throne, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and will continue to act like this to maintain temporary peace.

"Yes, I believe you understand Whitebeard's character better than I do, right?"

Atlas knew that.

In the old days, just like the relationship between Garp and Roger, Sengoku often chased Whitebeard around the world, and the two sides were both enemies and friends.

Naturally, I understand Whitebeard very well, compared to the so-called dream and freedom.

Family and hometown are more important to Whitebeard.

"You stinky brat, you're just causing trouble for me."

…………

Mariejois, Pangea, among the powers.

The five old men gathered together again, standing with knives in their hands, or sitting close together with narrowed eyes. It seemed that they would always remain in this unchanging posture.

Dexter Saint, who had a black hat and white hair, was the first to break the silence: "The documents for the awarding of the Admiral position have been conveyed to Marine, right?"

"Sengoku has received the news and a collective award will be held in three months."

"Marine's Marshal and Third Admiral positions have indeed been vacant for too long. Marine's suppression has been long enough, and it's not enough to go too far."

Saint La Cruz, who had a shiny bald head and a thick beard on his chin, said in a deep voice.

"As for Bai Jian..."

As soon as the name came out, the other four fell silent.

I have very complicated emotions towards Bai Jian.

They have naturally investigated the opponent's background. From their ancestors to the present, they have ruled out the possibility of being [D], and naturally there is no threat to them.

Therefore, the five of them still have a certain degree of trust in Bai Jian, even if the other party has ridiculously powerful talents.

But according to Bai Jian's behavior, his loyalty to the World Government is obviously not very high.

Of course, the same goes for many senior generals in Marine, and the Five Elders understand this very well.

Even Sakazuki, who seems to be the most dedicated, is still less loyal to the World Government than Marine and his justice.

Atlas's little problem is, at best, a small Garp.

There is loss in small sections, but no loss in large sections.

So they are willing to give Atlas a chance, and they only need an attitude from the other party, regardless of whether the pure gold is brought back.

As a result, that guy actually put the importance of catching pirates before the mission assigned by the World Government! !

"We have already given him a chance. If he doesn't cherish it, then he will no longer have the Admiral position."

Saint Nazarov, holding the long knife, snorted coldly, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Atlas' behavior.

Each of the Five Elders has a different personality. Among them, Saint Nazarov is a proper martial arts sect. It can be seen from the fact that he holds a demon sword that may be First Generation Kitetsu all year round. His acting style is natural. It's extremely tough.

"Yes, Admiral is the Marine's highest combat power, but strength is not the only reference standard, and..."

"Sakazuki and the other three are no worse than Shiro!!"

Dexter Saint nodded in agreement.

After all, Marine is just the facade of the World Government, a force that cannot be controlled by them, so it's okay not to use it.

"Then it's settled. I'll be ready to award him the honors in three months."

It has to be said that Five Elders' Machiavellian Technique is definitely at the top level in the pirate world. It has been seeking balance on the sea and has never given up on suppressing Marine.

After suppressing Marine for several years, the position of Marshal was vacant, and only one of the three Admirals was in office. Marine's apparent power had declined to the extreme.

You know, this is the age of great pirates.

There are three emperors standing in the New World, there are heroes from all walks of life in the world, and the pirates of the Grand Line are even more eyeing.

But if you think about it carefully, it turns out that it is nothing but a piece of sand, even if it is the Sea Emperor of the New World.

Even the title of Emperor of the Sea was probably released by them under the instructions of Morgans, with the purpose of causing the pirates to constantly fight among themselves and compete for the emperor's throne.

While suppressing Marine, they also did not forget to seek a new balancing force.

The Shichibukai system was born.

When the Shichibukai candidates are almost ready, they will start to pick up the suppressed Marines. There will definitely be many voices of gratitude to them among the Marines.

Later, Whitebeard II was made to become Shichibukai like a clever trick, and Zephyr was forced out of Marine seemingly like a clever trick. There was not a lot of intrigue in it.

At that time, Akainu and Aokiji were competing for one of them. The Admirals in Marine included Kizaru, Fujitora, and Green Bull. Akainu was determined to drive directly into the New World. Marine's strength had truly reached an unprecedented peak, and it was inevitable to weaken Marine.

Zephyr is just a victim of political intrigue.

Since Zephyr, who has devoted decades of silent service to Marine, can be sacrificed, so can Atlas.

"Bulu-Bulu——!!"

On the spacious desk, the originally silent phone suddenly rang, interrupting the conversation of several people.

Click——! !

After picking up the phone, the phone bug's appearance quickly changed to one wearing frog glasses and a mustache, and a deep voice slowly came out:

"Hello? I'm Sengoku."

PS. In fact, Oda said that he is not very good at depicting politics. I tried to explain something from a relatively realistic perspective. I don’t know if it is right, just to make you laugh.
