Chapter 342: The new Admiral of the marines takes office
All over the world.
Now all the member states are preparing for this Reverie.
A few days ago, the World Government suddenly issued a notice to convene the Reverie in advance.
This news caught all the member states off guard.
Some member states questioned the World Government for this reason, but in the end, the World Government used the rampant demons and the imbalance of the pirate situation as an excuse.
The World Government headed by the Celestial Dragons has made this decision.
The other individual member states naturally had no room for rebuttal and accepted it.
After all, it was only advanced a few months, which was not a big deal.
Only some senior officials of the member states were in a heavy mood.
Because they understood that this was the World Government's response to the reduction of the heavenly gold.
When they were ecstatic about the support of King.
This decision of the World Government has dealt them some blows.
Even if King agrees to reduce the amount of heavenly gold, there are still procedures to follow when it comes to implementation.
And the procedures are the main field of the World Government.
Unless King can be so tough that he can directly suppress the will of the World Government, and directly blow them up if they don't reduce it.
But for now, King has no signs of being so tough, and he doesn't look like a person with such a personality, which gives the Five Elders a lot of room for easing.
Even so, for these member states.
The most difficult step has been taken, at least with King's support.
Even the World Government convened a Reverie in advance because of this.
This is enough to show how much fear King's opinion has caused to the World Government.
The Sun God King as one of the two gods of this era, his weight is indeed impossible to ignore, even for the behemoth of the World Government.
So the confidence of the top leaders of these member states has also risen.
They began to actively contact the marines for consultation.
How to notify other participating member states in the shortest time and reach a consensus.
This is not such a simple matter, after all, the prestige of the Celestial Dragons is somewhat deeply rooted.
Even with the support of King, most people would probably choose to wait and see first, and then wave the flag and shout when the general trend has been established, but the problem is that if everyone thinks this way, it is destined to be difficult to succeed.
Therefore, they have already planned to burn their boats and are ready to use all their tricks.
While these member states are working hard.
On the other side.
The marines Headquarters is holding a promotion ceremony.
This is a promotion ceremony for the Admiral, and a bunch of reporters from various newspapers are crowded at the scene.
Admiral Zephyr has retired, and the new Admiral will take his position. Many reporters have received such big news, and they naturally have to be present for such a big event.
Of course, although the promotion of the new Admiral is indeed a big event for reporters, the reason why so many reporters come is because the Admiral promoted this time is very famous.
Ice Queen Esdeath, this is the person who is about to take office, and her Admiral code name is White Phoenix.
Speaking of Esdeath, everyone has heard of her, and her record is also very famous.
She defeated Shiki the Golden Lion and Big Mom, and once captured the current pirate emperor Kaido.
She shined in the Death Island War, fighting against three legendary pirates, Red Earl, Bad News, and Big Mom, and not losing the upper hand, and even put the opponent into a difficult battle.
With such strength, it is not surprising that she can be appointed as an Admiral.
But she is too young. In a short time after joining the marines, she has risen from a Vice Admiral to an Admiral.
At her age, she can be said to be the youngest Admiral in history, and a rare female Admiral.
This is a gimmick for reporters.
At this time, they looked at Esdeath, who was cold on the stage, enthusiastically, and wanted to scream.
She is so strong and beautiful, and these reporters feel like they are going to become fans.
On the other hand.
Zephyr, who retired from the position of Admiral but still served as the chief instructor of the Marine Academy, was somewhat relieved when he saw Esdeath being promoted to the stage.
Zephyr had some understanding of Esdeath.
Mainly from her subordinates.
She was resolute and ruthless in dealing with the enemy, but she would still take care of her subordinates in battle and would not be too reckless.
Zephyr was more at ease with an Admiral who could be admired by his subordinates as an Admiral.
The only thing that made him a little worried was her justice, the justice of killing to stop killing.
However, no matter from which angle, Zephyr could not blame the other party. Because he himself was carrying a heavy sorrow, the heavy sorrow caused by not killing.
"Ah!"
Zephyr couldn't help but sigh when he recalled the past, his expression and eyes were a little complicated.
Fleet-Admiral Kong looked at Zephyr's expression and roughly understood his sadness.
Kong didn't comfort him. For some things, the comfort of outsiders could not work, and they could only let time heal them.
Now he was thinking about more other things.
The reason why Esdeath was promoted to Admiral so quickly this time was that the World Government suddenly agreed.
After the start of the era of the two gods, Zephyr began to want to retire and resign from the rank of Admiral.
His reasons were also very sufficient, and the position should be given to more outstanding young people.
At that time, Kong, Tsuru and others agreed after discussing, because the sudden appearance of the demons led to the birth of an era of two gods, causing the sea to begin to boil violently.
If Esdeath, a powerful person with a high reputation and popularity among the people, is allowed to take office as the new Admiral, then those who want to become pirates will definitely be suppressed.
But the World Government did not pass it and it was stuck there.
But a few days ago, the World Government suddenly agreed.
And it also gave new chips. The current number of Admirals is not enough to deter the sea, so it plans to add two positions.
In other words, the marines will have five positions for Admirals, but this decision will not be initiated until the end of the Reverie.
Although the World Government did not explicitly say, Kong already understood that this was a division of the marines.
The main source is about the reduction of Heavenly Gold.
On the one hand, it can win over Esdeath and the monster Vice Admirals who have no hope of becoming Admirals for the rest of their lives.
On the other hand, it is also for the member states to see.
In this way, those member states will be restricted in a short period of time.
Moreover, the bargaining chip at the back needs to wait for the Reverie to be implemented. It is conceivable that if the result of this Reverie is not what the World Government wants, then the so-called bargaining chip may also be invalidated.
At that time, those monster Vice Admirals can only compete fiercely.
Among the three Admiral positions, Esdeath is very young, and King is about the same age as Kuzan according to him.
Only one of the three of them will be able to become Admiral.
if this hope of two new positions is broken it may cause discord within the marines.
Kong thought of this and felt a little headache.
And more than that, no matter what kind of storm this Reverie will cause, the marines can't do too much.
At that time, the Five Elders had implicitly expressed to him that if the result was not smooth, then the support of the marines's military expenditure might be a problem.
After all, if there is less Heavenly Gold, the World Government will have no money, which sounds reasonable.
If you don't look at the luxurious life of the Celestial Dragons.
"Ah!"
He sighed.
No matter what, now Kong can only act according to circumstances.
