Chapter 679: The Second Top-Up War
It's fast forward to March, and it's not long before the quadrennial World Conference.
Because the navy publicly executed the pirate emperor "BIG· MOM" Charlotte Lingling's war in Marin Fodo and a series of post-war news have long been spread around the world with the operation of major news agencies.
While it is being talked about, there is a growing popular name among the people, calling this war, which was officially defined by the world government as the "Marin Fodo Incident", the "Second Top-Up War".
"Top up" is a saying in the local language of the One Piece world, and if translated into Chinese, "Top War" can be understood as "peak war" or "strongest war".
Some people say that compared to the war in Marinfodo, the impact of the war on Sodaliga Island in the New World was not enough at all (there was no live broadcast at the time), and only the major events in Marin Verdo qualified to be called the "War on the Top".
Some people also say that when the Four Emperors gathered on Sodaliga Island, each of the Four Emperors Pirates brought their own fleet, and the scale of that war would definitely not be inferior to the major event of Marin Fodo, and the name of "Top War" was well deserved.
Although the two groups of people quarreled endlessly, more people who ate melons and watched the excitement did not care whether they had to divide the two wars of Sodaliga Island and Marinfodo, and the terms of "the first top war" and "the second top war" have gradually spread in the hearts of the people.
People in the people can use the second top war as an after-dinner conversation, but the main forces participating in this war are not so easy.
The Charlotte family was completely defeated, Charlotte Lingling was wiped out, and there was no "BIG· MOM Pirates", since then the Charlotte family has been reduced to a second-rate force on the sea.
The Beast Pirates have suffered heavy losses and are now retreating to the Wano Country in the New World to gather strength and slowly recover.
The revolutionary army, which wanted to fish in troubled waters, did not take advantage of the slightest, but it did not pay any price; The red of the lonely height has completely become a legend, and it will only appear in people's memories in the future.
The navy has won a great victory, but the bereavement of the families of the martyrs, the reconstruction of the naval headquarters, and the replenishment of various resources still involve a lot of energy in the navy, but the benefits of the navy are certainly greater than the losses.
Taking advantage of the fact that the navy had no time to take care of others, Joker, the Golden Emperor, and the Black Cat, the three giants of the dark world, took the opportunity to make a few more transactions, and made a lot of money.
……
At the headquarters of the Navy, a special meeting was being held at this time.
The meeting was attended by core personnel in the top echelons of the Navy, and vice admirals such as Flying Squirrel and Dauberman were not even among them.
Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Polusalino, Admiral Tsurusalino, Admiral Tsurusalino, Naval Associate Chief Staff Officer Kong Ming, Admiral Houbu Hailan, Gion, and Kaji.
Although Admirals Sakasky and Kuzan were not among them, this special meeting was held for the two of them.
The atmosphere of the meeting was a bit silent, and none of the people present were fools, and they could guess what the marshal was trying to discuss.
Glancing around at the people around him, Sengoku opened the topic, "The old man has been sitting in this position for a long time...... Tell me who you would rather support if the choice was yours to make for Kuzan and Sakaski? ”
Sengoku did not call Karp and Zefa to attend this meeting.
Kuzan was brought out by Karp, no need to ask, Karp will definitely support Kuzan.
As for Zefa...... First, he is now only the chief instructor of the Naval Academy, and whoever is the marshal will not conflict with his work, and secondly, Kuzan and Sakasky are both students of Zefa, and the Warring States do not want to embarrass Zefa.
"Marshal ......"
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit's face moved slightly, and there was a deep reluctance in his eyes, "...... Your achievements during your reign are obvious to all, why did you ...... so early?"
Warring States waved his hand, stopped Peach Rabbit's persuasion, and half-jokingly, "The old man is 75 years old, and he is all a person who has gone to 80, so you can't always leave the work to the old man to deal with." ”
Over the years, the industrial and agricultural sectors of the navy have developed in full swing, and even a large country like Alabastan has allowed the navy to garrison, in addition to defeating a group of pirates at the level of the Four Emperors, and eliminating the two legendary pirates of the Blood Demon and the Red of the Lonely High, although these credits cannot be counted on his head alone, but during the reign of the Warring States, his achievements are definitely commendable, and choosing to abdicate at this time can be described as a successful retirement.
"I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me."
Sengoku continued, "When the World Conference is successfully held, I will apply to the Five Old Stars. ”
The reason why he had to wait until after the end of the World Conference to apply was because Sengoku wanted to put the next stick in the hands of the next marshal safely and perfectly, and he could not let a new marshal have just come to power and have to face such a troublesome matter.
"So, tell me what you think."
You look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.
Sengoku's face was a little delicate, and he looked at the yellow ape, "Polusalino, you are a general, you speak first." ”
"Me?"
The yellow ape couldn't help but be stunned, and then squinted and laughed, "I don't care, anyone can ......"
This bastard...... Never in line......
Secretly scolding the yellow ape in his heart, Warring States said solemnly, "This time, you must make a clear choice!"
You are familiar with the people here, are you still afraid that they will spread the word? ”
The yellow ape's smile froze on his face, and he was embarrassed for a long time before he reluctantly spoke, "Then I'd better choose Sakasky." ”
Sengoku narrowed his eyes, "Why?" ”
"Can you not say it?"
"Smack!!"
Sengoku angrily slammed the table.
The yellow ape has always been very satisfied with him in other things, but in this kind of thing, there are more inkblots and more ink.
"Okay, I said."
The yellow ape sighed and explained leisurely, "Because Sakasky works more seriously......"
"Kuzanna's kid is also serious when he's getting down to business."
"Well, Kuzan just looks lazy on weekdays."
Crane and Peach Rabbit spoke one after another, and the position of the two of them was already obvious.
The yellow ape said worriedly, "This ...... Different ......"
Peach Rabbit said seriously, "What's the difference?" ”
"Okay, I see, you don't have to say it."
Hearing the opening of the Warring States, the yellow ape was pardoned.
However, the marshal of the Warring States period gave the yellow ape a helpless look.
Others don't understand the yellow ape, doesn't he understand it?
What kind of work is serious or not, the subtext is clearly "If Sakasky is a marshal, he does all the big and small things himself, then my work will be much easier".
