This decision was not made by Sengoku, and he was not Kuzan himself, and he was not qualified to make such a decision for Kuzan.

Previously, Sora told Sengoku that the ideal candidate for the post of Admiral in the minds of the five old stars was Sakasky.

After thinking about it, Sengoku called Kuzan to inform him of the incident, hoping that he would be mentally prepared that he might not be able to win him the position of marshal of the navy.

Kuzan on the other side of the phone bug was silent for a long time, and then just said to Sengoku: "Then let's duel, and use our strength to prove who is qualified to be the marshal of the navy." ”

Pheasant and Red Dog have already looked at each other unpleasantly when they were colonel-level officers, not only are their personalities completely different, but they also have completely different attitudes towards people and things, and they can be said to be two completely different people like ice and fire.

The two of them are both comrades and enemies.

When fighting against pirates, they are trustworthy comrades who fight side by side; In terms of political opinions, the two of them are mortal enemies who can never convince each other.

If the Admiral of the Five Elders had been Porusalino, Kuzan might have been upset, but the reaction would never have been so strong.

He did not allow such an extreme paranoia as Sakasky to be a marshal of the Navy and lead the navy, and could not tolerate him riding on his head in the future to dictate to himself.

After hearing Sengoku's relay, Kuzan's answer shocked Sengoku.

Sengoku never imagined that a man of such a mild-tempered character as Kuzan would make a suggestion that only a temper like Sakasky would make, and that he would think of a duel to decide who would be the next admiral.

It seems that Kuzan is really determined this time, and does not treat everything as child's play as before.

Sengoku felt a little relieved, Kuzan was really mature and dared to take responsibility.

At the same time, Sengoku was also a little worried, Sakasky was not a good talker, Kuzan challenged Sakasky with the Marshal of the Navy, and Sakasky would definitely go all out.

The strength of the two of them is comparable, this will inevitably be a tragic fight to the death, no matter who is injured, the loss is the heart of the navy.

Even the worst-case outcome could be a lose-lose situation, with the navy directly losing two admiral-level powerhouses.

It's just that since things have come this far, there is no way back, even if you know that this is a thorny road, you can only go to the end.

"Duel, use strength to prove who is qualified to be the marshal of the Navy."

Sengoku relayed Kuzan's words to the Five Old Stars as they were.

The Five Old Stars looked at each other, as if they didn't expect Kuzan to make such a decision.

The Five Old Stars of the Demon Sword reprimanded angrily: "Do you think this is a hooligan street brawl to decide who will be the boss? How can the position of marshal be such a child's play? ”

Warring States was neither humble nor arrogant: "But as a marshal, if the strength is insufficient, how can you convince the public?" ”

In fact, the hearts of the Warring States are also bottomless, the strength of the red dog and the green pheasant are comparable, and the odds of the two of them winning are all five or five, and no one can guarantee to win the other.

The five old stars of the demon sword said angrily: "You are quibbling! ”

The five old stars wearing hats persuaded: "No, I think this is very reasonable.

If we don't agree to their duel, many admirals won't be convinced even if we forcibly appoint Sakasky, so I can accept this suggestion. And I have faith in Sakasky. ”

"That's what I thought too."

The blonde five old stars and the map birthmark five old stars seconded the proposal.

Half of the voice had passed, and the five old stars of the demon sword couldn't help it, and said, "Since you all said so, then let's do it." ”

"It's just ......"

The bearded five old stars, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "In this way, we have to prepare for the worst."

Regardless of who wins or loses between the two of them, based on the relationship between the two of them, the defeated one will definitely not remain in the navy, so in addition to Polusalino, we also need to look for two other admiral candidates.

Considering the worst-case scenario, where they both lose, we should actually be looking for three admiral candidates in the end. ”

Several other five old stars seconded: "That's true. ”

The bearded five old stars looked at the Warring States, "Do you have any other recommended candidates?" ”

Warring States breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It just so happens that there are three generals in the navy, namely 'Day Tiger' Hailan, 'Peach Rabbit' Gion, and 'Tea Dolphin' Jiaji. ”

The five old stars of the demon sword sneered: "Hailan is okay, forget about Gion and Jiaji, the strength of the two of them is still a little worse." ”

In terms of personal feelings, the five old stars of the demon knife don't like Hai Lan, but Hai Lan's military merits and strength are not to say, after Sakasky took the throne, the vacant position of admiral must be this Hai Lan, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the naval officers, this is the unanimous result of the discussion of the five old stars.

Sengoku frowned, not knowing what the five old stars meant: "Gion and Kaji are already very powerful, and they are not weaker than any admiral. ”

Compared with the three admirals, Gion and Kaji are not as open as five or five as the Akainu Pheasant, but four or six are still no problem, and they will not be directly seconds like disasters and shokos.

The blonde five old stars looked disdainful: "But I think they ...... Not very powerful. ”

The five old stars of the birthmark also sarcastically said: "The general's back-up is not just a temporary number after the sudden loss of the general, when there is no suitable candidate?" Like you said, as an admiral, you have to be justified in your personal strength, right? ”

The bearded five old stars said leisurely: "Now is a period of stability, there is nothing to hurry, the admiral can take his time to find it." ”

Sengoku frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"After the results of the duel between Sakasky and Kuzan, a large-scale world conscription will be conducted!"

The pupils of the Warring States couldn't help shrinking, the navy is not short of manpower at all now, although many soldiers were sacrificed in the "Marin Fodo Incident", but it is not yet the time when the world is required to recruit soldiers, what does the five old stars mean?

Sengoku's instincts were right.

The five old stars don't want Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin to be admirals at all because of their strength, they have never cared about this kind of thing, otherwise there would not have been two empty positions during the period when Karp refused to be promoted and Zefa resigned, but the world conscription would have been carried out long ago.

In fact, the Five Elders wanted to join a new faction within the navy, and did not want everyone in the upper echelons of the navy to be selected from within the navy.

The yellow ape, the day tiger, plus the peach rabbit and the tea dolphin, these people are not as incompatible as the red dog and the pheasant, and the navy can easily become a solid iron bucket.

Only by making the navy unable to unite itself can the five old stars better control the navy in the palm of their hands.
