Vice Admiral Onigumo, who performed well in the War this time, was nominated as a candidate for Admiral.
However, although his combat achievements are good, his strength is still a little bit behind. Akainu, as the Fleet Admiral and leader of the hawk faction, did not know for a while whether to promote him to the position of Admiral Candidate.
Vice Admiral Tokikake mainly faced off against the music demon Tot Musica in this battle. Not only did he have no results, he was also injured.
Coupled with the bad deeds of being captured by the Big Daddy Pirates before, the chance of reinstating him as an Admiral Candidate is still far away.
In the recent war, Akainu was very dissatisfied with Kizaru, a neutralist, and Fujitora, an indecisive dove.
He now needs two hawk Admirals to support the Marines' future.
Now that the Marines' strength has reached an unprecedented low, it falls upon his shoulders to restore their glory.
The Second World Recruitment was sabotaged by the Vampire King Redfield, and they also encountered the One Piece Expo War right after, which resulted in the recruitment effect not being very good.
"The Second World Recruitment continues, and you two, Onigumo and Momonga, are in charge."
"Fujitora, you will be responsible for the post-war pensions of these two wars."
Akainu pinched his temples and said irritably, he still couldn't raise Onigumo's rank in the end.
Because if you don't have enough strength, sitting in a higher position is just a joke.
After all, if a weak Admiral is defeated by pirates like the Imperial Shichibukai, then the Marines will be even more embarrassed.
Onigumo and the others all replied in unison. Although Onigumo also knew that he was not strong enough to be an Admiral Candidate, he felt a little unhappy when Akainu neglected his military merit and made him responsible for the World Recruitment to recruit Admirals for the Marines.
He would rather be in charge of compensating the wounded soldiers than watch those strong men in the field rise to the top and become Admiral Candidates or even Admirals while he couldn't.

New World, Hachinosu.
The Big Daddy Pirates achieved a huge victory this time, and everyone was in a state of celebration.
Aokiji, who stayed at the base camp, when he learned that Basire killed two of the Five Elders, his form completely changed. The Big Daddy Pirates can really change the world.
His student Grount has been completely integrated into the Hive Empire. They are now soldiers of the Hive Empire and have separated from the system of the Big Daddy Pirates.
And after knowing that people like Vice Admiral Tsuru, Gion and Drake were not only abandoned by the World Government, but also captured by Crocodile and the others, Kuzan started to have his own thoughts.
He wants to establish a truly righteous new Marine within the Hive Empire.
After Basire knew what he was thinking, he allowed him to try recruiting Tsuru and the others.
Seeing Gion again, Basire was not in a hurry to make his move because he was busy gathering all resources to repair the Pluton battleship.
The appearance of Uranus made him feel a great sense of crisis. They must give the Pluton battleship the power to counterattack.
Because of the victory in this battle and the fact that Vegapunk's situation has been exposed, Vegapunk and his six clones have now recovered from the toy state, and their memories have reappeared in the minds of people around the world.
Under the harassment and threats from Bonney day and night, Vegapunk still broke some agreements with Kuma and helped him recover most of his memory.
The tyrant Kuma returned to the world again, and Basire did not stop him from returning to the Revolutionary Army.
When Kuma was about to leave Egghead Island, Bonney did not follow him to join the Revolutionary Army, nor did she return to the Sorbet Kingdom. Instead she chose to stay with Basire.
This is a kind of repayment, and it also lets her act as an intermediary between the Revolutionary Army and Basire. Of course, it is also because Basire captured half of her heart.
After the showdown with the World Government, Egghead Island floated to the waters of the Hive Empire openly, and even the Pluton battleship gradually entered the world's sight.
Let all forces know how terrifying Basire's power is now. It is not an exaggeration to call him the second World Government.
When Bullet learned that Basire had killed two of the Five Elders and withstood an attack from Uranus, he was completely numb. He felt that he would never be able to catch up with Basire in his life.
Now that he can't even defeat the old man Garp, how can he compare with Basire?
However, he did not give up on becoming stronger. He changed his goal of defeating Basire into, just like Redfield, defeating one of the Five Elders in this life to prove his strength.
In their view, the time to attack the World Government is getting closer and closer, and they must find a way to become stronger in order to defeat one of the Five Elders in the final world war.
After this battle, although the bounty was no longer meaningful to Basire, the master of the New World, they still updated the latest bounty order.
And the amount was very subtle, seeming to mock Basire, because he just can't compare to Roger, the Pirate King.
The master of the New World, Basire, has a bounty of 5.564.700.000 beris, which is not as good as the 5.564.800.000 beris of Gold Roger the Pirate King.
Of course, this may also mean that Basire's threat is second only to the Pirate King.
However, this bounty made the leaders of the Big Daddy Pirates so angry that they wanted to immediately launch another war to destroy the New Naval Headquarters and the World Government.
In their eyes, Basire, who owns Pluton and many other forces, should have a bounty of more than 10 billion beris. They didn't expect to be ridiculed by the World Government like this. Do they really think their swords are not sharp?
However, Basire himself didn't care. He also ordered Buggy to add the remaining three of the Five Elders on the wanted list of the Big Daddy Pirates.
These three Five Elders only have a bounty of 4 billion beris, and they treat them as the world's highest powers, just ordinary Yonkō-level wanted criminals.
After the battle of the Calm Belt, even the bounty of Vampire King Redfield increased from 3.6 billion beri to 4.1 billions, which is higher than the bounty of these Five Elders.
Faced with Basire's provocation, the World Government was a little helpless. Now the Revolutionary Army was as happy as the Big Daddy Pirates. In just a few days, eight more affiliated countries were overthrown by them and broke away from the World Government.
This has reduced the World Government's income, since they heavily rely on Heavenly Gold.
After Imu recalled Uranus, the king of the world seemed to have calmed down. It's not known what conspiracy he's brewing or whether he is just repairing Uranus.
Or maybe he is looking for new energy sources for Uranus, but there is nothing happening for the time being.
But Basire and Dragon both know that the current situation is like an unstoppable torrent, they are already mortal enemies of the World Government.
