As a Celestial Dragon, I became an evil pirate!
Chapter 234 Fair Competition
Garner knew very well that his stand-in could fool him for a while, but he couldn't hide it for long.
This thunder was bound to explode sooner or later, and he had to find a way.
"In this case, that matter can only be brought forward." Garner tapped his fingers on the table and smiled faintly.
boom.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
"Lieutenant General Garner!"
A soldier walked in and saluted.
"what's up?"
Garner asked.
"Master Marshal, please come over."
"understood."
Garner nodded.
Garner could guess why he was looking for him at this juncture of the Warring States Period.
For a long time, he put his hands in his pockets, wearing the navy's cloak of justice, and strolled through the headquarters base. The looks from the soldiers or generals he met along the way were very eager...full of adoration and admiration.You know, Garp is a hero of the old era. Although he has a very high reputation in the navy, for most people, Garner, the newly rising and youngest lieutenant general in history, is the one they chase and work hard for. Target.
It’s within reach!
Garp was too far away from them.
"Teacher..." During this period, I happened to bump into the tea dolphin.
This guy came over.
"You will take over today's training session. I won't go." Garner ordered by the way.
"what?"
Cha Dou was stunned and coughed: "Teacher, you have been absent from work since you came back... You are the chief instructor. Those newcomers are all motivated to take your class and strive to be at the top of the rankings. They all want to suffer. You're not very interested in me for your advice, and besides... Dalmesia and the others are also here for you. It's okay for me to teach the newcomers, but these peers... I really can't help them improve their strength."
"I can't move around without it?"
Garner waved his hand, ignoring his words.
Seeing that Garner continued to move forward, Cha Dou hurriedly followed: "Teacher, are you going to see the marshal?"
"Is something wrong?"
Garner hummed.
"..."
"Tell me... Judging from your face, you don't look too good. It should be that your and Taotu's applications for promotion to general were recently rejected by the higher authorities."
Garner clasped his ears and smiled knowingly.
"Teacher, look..." Seeing that Ghana had opened up the topic first, Cha Dou smiled and asked cautiously.
"Although I am a Celestial Dragon, the commander-in-chief of the World Government is Cyborg, and above him are those old ghosts... I don't have that much say now, and I am powerless on this matter." Garner knew that Jiaqi What Xiaojiujiu is fighting? It is temporarily impossible for the Five Old Stars to approve the two people's proposal to become generals. The reason is very simple, because according to the plan, Tea Dolphin and Peach Rabbit have to make way for Ghana.
In order to prepare for Ghana to become a general later.
Otherwise, the number of admirals suddenly changed from three to six, which is somewhat unjustifiable, and there is no guarantee that Aokiji and Akainu will have any ideas.
When promoting someone, he also said that if there are too many words, it will inevitably cause some criticism.
However, with Ghana's current status, it is not difficult to make Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin become generals... It is nothing more than dealing with the Five Old Stars and making some exchanges of interests. But Tea Dolphin is not related to him, so why should he help him?
Now the other party is approaching, just to let him talk about it in the Warring States Period.
"Wait until Aokiji and the others retreat from their positions. By then, there will be hope for you and Taotu."
Without much conversation, Garner walked away.
Only the tea dolphin was left standing there, his face a little gray.
Admiral and admiral candidate are two different concepts... When these old people were new recruits in the navy, who didn't want to become an admiral?
This is no different from the Yonko who were pirates and wanted to become the overlord of the sea.
……
"Under the Temple of Dipgana."
After a while, Garner walked into the marshal's office and sat casually on the sofa with his legs crossed.
There were only two people in the room, Sengoku and him, so the latter naturally couldn't call him so casually.
"You asked me to come here for the newcomers, right?" Garner took the initiative.
"Exactly."
Sengoku nodded.
His heart moved, but he didn't expect that Garner could read his thoughts.
Some are not simple.
Since becoming aware of Garner's identity, Sengoku and Tsuruya have been learning about Deep Garner's background through various channels... There is a strange phenomenon in today's Mary Joa, that is, Tianlong, who is supposed to be doing evil and pursuing pleasure all day long. People actually exercised their bodies and practiced physical skills, swordsmanship, etc. Because the government deliberately kept it secret, outsiders did not know.
When Warring States first heard about this, he couldn't believe it.
That's a dragon man!
Of course, not all the Celestial Dragons are secretly becoming stronger. Some of them still have their previous temperament, mostly women.
And the rest, the young blood among the world's nobles, began to work hard and seemed to have become another person.
It's like the sun is coming out of the west!
Later, Cyborg deliberately revealed that the future heads of these Tianlong families had followed Dip Garner a few years ago, and Dip Garner was the leader of this group of people.At first, these Tianlong people were also arrogant and domineering, adhering to the familiar style... But later, since Dipgana frequently came into contact with the Five Old Stars, his status has changed. I don’t know when, these junior Draconians began to They have received training within the government... Although their efforts are far less than that of new recruits in the navy, and they are often lazy, but at least they have changed.
After more than a year of training, there has been more or less growth.
The reason for all this was because in front of him was this talented lieutenant general who came to the Navy Headquarters for a formality.
Over the years, although there have been some Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land who appear to be different and have strange personalities... but no one has ever been able to influence the entire group. Due to factors such as environment and identity, it is difficult for the Celestial Dragons to obey the orders of others!
Ghana actually did it!
Cyborg had also told him and He to be careful when dealing with Ghana. This young man was extremely extraordinary, and his status in the Holy Land was much higher than it seemed.
"In addition to the navy, there are many departments under the government. These are two sets of systems and teams. Now that I am a member of the navy, I cannot stretch my hands that far. What's more, in this generation of elite training camps, we can train There are really a lot of people, and the resources are not a small amount."
Garner ignored Sengoku's look at him and said calmly.
"This is the list I made, take a look."
Warring States handed over a blank piece of paper.
Garner glanced.
The Gurant trio are on the list, as well as Zog and Seda...the latter was probably added intentionally by the Warring States Period, just because Zog and Garner are closer, and being included in the list can also please Garner. Happy.
"Fifteen people! In other words, fifteen Devil Fruits are needed."
Garner grinned and looked directly at the old guy: "You are quite greedy."
"Your Highness Ghana... As the chief instructor, I believe you can also see that these new people have value that can be cultivated. Recently, our navy has had contact with a group of pirates who have just entered the Great Channel. These new generations have all It is very dangerous... And thanks to your training, our navy has also seen the emergence of talents... In order to curb the arrogance of pirates, I believe it is necessary for the government to eliminate potential dangers."
"I know, you mean Monkey D. Luffy, and Luo and others... What, is the situation very difficult?"
Garner asked, putting the list aside.
"Before, two of our major generals were almost killed by Ulki, the captain of the Broken Monk Pirates... Yesterday, on Ryūhara Island, Lieutenant General Dimai was killed by Trafalgar Law..." Sengoku's voice was heavy.
Ghana waits for the following.
"I plan to graduate some people from the elite camp early and deploy them to various branches and stations at sea, so that they can confront the ruthless characters among the new pirates and temper themselves. After all, these newcomers in the headquarters also need to grow. of."
"Nice idea."
Ghana affirmed.
Some people in the elite battalion should have graduated long ago, but because of his appearance, the time was extended... There is Sengoku's selfishness here, and it is nothing more than wanting the soldiers to follow Garner and learn more skills.But now, since Ghana returned from abroad, he has become the boss... Warring States also thought that even if the Navy Headquarters recruits as many new recruits as crucian carp across the river every year, there are only a handful of people with real potential and talent. , are all counted.
In other words, within a few years, this is the group that can be trained by Ghana.
There is an unwritten ranking system in the elite camp, which is to allow healthy competition among newcomers. However, according to the rules, only one group and nine groups are in charge of Ghana. These Ghanaian students will inevitably occupy the top of the list for a long time, causing others to come up. If you don't go, you can only stay where you are, causing involution.
Unless all soldiers in the battalion are trained by Ghana.
And this... is obviously impossible.
Because Ghana doesn’t have that time…
Therefore, no matter the current environment at sea or the situation within the headquarters, we must let those who have become talents graduate and leave room for others.
"Okay, let me talk to a few old ghosts."
Garner pondered for a moment, stood up and left.
What Sengoku said was reasonable and well-founded, and it was basically for the sake of the government. However, would the Five Old Stars be willing to approve fifteen Devil Fruits at once?
Even though the Tianlong people have the most huge and precious resources in the world and the existence of secret vaults... But for more than a year, Ghana has only picked up five or six more sporadically from the hands of a few old guys. In order to expand the Apocalypse The number of soldiers, including the devil fruit obtained before...
Otherwise, with the additional cards alone, the members of the Apocalypse Army would not be able to return to their current size of 400 people.
The number of Devil Fruits is limited, and the world government's CP organization is constantly having outstanding talents enter its field of vision. It is not just the navy that needs to be cultivated.
As for Ghana, he was able to cope with it because he wanted to make some money from it and use the opportunity to get a few Devil Fruits for the pirate group.
The marshal personally sent Garner out the door and exhaled.
For this application list, he actually doesn't need to bother Ghana. He can just go directly to the commander-in-chief Cyborg... But there are too many fruits, and Cyborg definitely can't make the decision, and he doesn't have the ability to talk to the Five Old Stars, so he can only Come to Ghana.Another point is that even if Wulao Xing agrees, it will only last for five or six fruits, not more.
But if Ghana reconciles it, even if there are not fifteen, but ten, the Warring States Period will be very satisfied.
Judging from Garner's tone just now, this matter does not seem to be difficult for him.
It also gave Warring States a better understanding of Ghana. This young man's status among the Tianlong people was even more extraordinary than he expected.
……
"Fifteen?!"
The next day, Garner, who took off his navy uniform, returned to Marigio and met with the Five Old Stars.
He couldn't wear a navy cape...because it would cause trouble in the Holy Land.
The Five Old Stars have also been deliberately blocking information from the ethnic group. Although the Navy has made notices to the outside world, under their control, it has not attracted the attention of the Tianlong people.
The Tianlong people themselves don't care much about what happens in the outside world, they only care about whether they live comfortably or not.
"The fruit reserves in the secret vault should be enough..." Garner said lightly when he saw a few people looking ugly.
"How dare he open his mouth like a lion! We don't have many Devil Fruits left in our hands... They have all been given to the Navy. What will the government do?" The blond middle-aged man frowned.
"After all, Warring States is the marshal of the headquarters and the boss of the navy... The biggest obstacle to our plan is the old people... The plan pursues 'heroes' and fairness! Let the government issue a document, although it can easily make me become Admiral, but there may be many people who disagree behind my back... As long as Sengoku and He have nothing to say, plus their publicity within the navy, it will only be a matter of time before I become an admiral!"
Garner sorted out the thoughts of several people: "Now, the new generation of the headquarters, including some lieutenant generals and major generals, are very sure of my strength and achievements, but they are only limited to the rank of lieutenant general. If I become a general, the first A dissatisfied person, I guess it must be Akainu. He knows my identity well, and with his temperament, he will definitely think that the navy has become a toy of the Tianlong people, corrupted by power, and has no order at all... Aokiji usually It seems that he doesn't care about anything, but this matter does go against his ideals, and the only one who may accept it is Kizaru."
"Sengoku is quite old, and he won't be in power for long. The people who are most likely to take over his position are Akainu and Aokiji. Both of them have their own factions in the headquarters...I provoked two camps at this time. From a planning perspective, it’s not a good idea…”
The five people fell into silence.
The people present are all smart people. Like, the world government serves the Celestial Dragons, and there is no need to mention that the two generals are nothing.
When you reach the status of Akainu and Aokiji, you can't do it if you want to. It will shake the morale of the military. If the navy collapses, the sea will only become more chaotic, which will be more detrimental to the Tianlong people.
"What are you going to do?"
The old man in kendo uniform looked over.
Now, they know Ghana too well, and this kid's city is unfathomable.
Having said these words, I must have already had a countermeasure.
"It's very simple. Just let me join the campaign for marshal. There are three of us. It's a 'fair competition'... before Warring States retires, I will try to make some more achievements."
Garner smiled.
There is something strange about the tone of the four words "fair competition"
This thunder was bound to explode sooner or later, and he had to find a way.
"In this case, that matter can only be brought forward." Garner tapped his fingers on the table and smiled faintly.
