One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 126 Comrade’s Blood Is Not Cold

"Everyone! I don't know if you have noticed," Aokiji changed his usual laziness in military meetings since O'Hara for the first time, and picked up the document issued by the World Government called "The King's Shichibukai System" The draft document stated in a firm tone, "This draft requires that the 'Ocean's Shichibukai' must be filled by a representative with sufficient strength and sufficient reputation among the pirate community."

He raised his head and looked around. Although there was a hint of coldness, his eyes were clearly beating with anger: "Let me ask, which of the strength and reputation of these pirates is not based on the bones of navy soldiers? If the navy accepts it" With a system like King Shichibukai', how can we face our fallen comrades?"

Aokiji's words caused a commotion among the navy generals. In battles between the navy and pirates, sacrifices are always unavoidable. Every naval officer who has reached the rank of general officer has more or less had relatives, friends, and comrades die at the hands of pirates.

These dead people have become their spiritual support and the source of motivation for their firm determination to continue fighting against the pirates. The implementation of the Shichibukai system by the World Government is undoubtedly a serious betrayal of the admirals who uphold justice.

Zefa's eyes were filled with tears and his whole body was trembling slightly. He thought of his wife and children who died at the hands of pirates.

Sakaski's right fist had turned into lava, and thick smoke rich in sulfur dioxide gas billowed up. Large chunks of lava dripped from his hand to the ground, leaving indelible marks in the Navy Marshal's office. . This situation of out-of-control elementalization often only happens to rookies who have just acquired natural abilities. Now, it has appeared in a battle-hardened general candidate, which shows how much impact the "King Shichibukai" system has had on this silent soldier.

Porusalino looked like it had nothing to do with him. He was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He covered his small nail clippers with a domineering military color and carefully trimmed the nails of his left thumb. He seemed not to have been affected by the Shichibukai system.

But if you look closely, you will find that Porusalino did not completely cut off the nail on his thumb, but divided it into two parts before completely cutting it off. It's hard to say who was more affected, him or Sakaski.

"Looking at the entire navy, there are countless generals who died in the line of duty and died on the front line fighting pirates," Sengoku asked on behalf of the naval generals behind him, "My comrades' blood is not cold, but we have to pay tribute to them." Will the pirate compromise?"

The marshal, who had been silently listening to the opinions of the navy generals, finally spoke slowly. He seemed a little helpless: "I asked the five old stars the same question, Warring States."

Looking at the naval admirals who were waiting silently for answers, Sora's voice became low and hoarse: "The Five Old Stars told me that for the sake of justice, the navy needs necessary sacrifices."

In fact, Wulaoxing's original words were not so "kind". This was already the result of his answer to Wulaoxing, "take the essence and discard the dross" and "remove the rough and retain the essence, remove the false and retain the true".

"Sacrifice?" Garp lowered his head, clenching his iron fists tightly, and you could even hear the cracking sound of the joints in his hands. "Soldiers of the Navy are never afraid of dying in battle, but they will never accept betrayal!"

"Garp," Marshal Kong raised his head that had been lowered. At this time, the navy generals noticed that the marshal's eyes were red. He looked at the generals in front of him and said with difficulty but firmly, "This The world is our battlefield, and the Navy must execute orders!"

Kong's eyes swept across the faces of every naval general. They were all warriors inspired by justice and gathered under the flag of the navy.

The Navy has never been an easy career. For the stability of the sea, they need to sacrifice almost everything about themselves - personal interests, private space, and stable life. They need to battle wits and courage with the most dangerous criminals in the world, and even go hand-to-hand.

But the difficulty of the Navy profession is not only this, but also the need to maintain a righteous heart under the pressure and discord of the world government.

How could Sora, who was in a high position, not know about the scandals and dark sides of the World Government and even the Navy? Not to mention these, Sora has even heard a little bit about the truth about the "Blank Hundred Years".

But at the same time, Kong knew that no matter how many shortcomings there were, the world government and the order it established would still maintain the peace of the vast majority of people on the sea. If the order of this world can protect the interests of the majority of people, then its military should go all out to maintain its long-term peace and order.

Sora has always understood the relationship between the Navy and the World Government this way.

No matter which organization you go up in, the more darkness and ugliness you see.

During this process, countless marines have doubted the justice in their hearts. Some have fallen and become scum of the navy that is worse than pirates. Some have become the minions of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. Feng Jin resolutely resigned and even embarked on the path of fighting against the World Government. Others, although they still remained in the navy, were confused and lost their original ideals.

Fortunately, enough sailors persisted and became pillars of justice.

Today, the general who came to the marshal's office is the future of the navy in his mind.

"Everyone," Sora felt that he had made the most difficult decision in his life, "execute the order. The navy cannot oppose the establishment of the 'Shichibukai under the King' system. If the world government abandons the navy and implements this plan alone, it will only Let justice fall into a more passive position.”

Kong's prestige over the years played a decisive role. These old subordinates began to gradually understand the admiral's difficulties.

In fact, when Marshal Kong announced the plan of "King's Shichibukai", most of these experienced naval generals had already realized that the implementation of this system was a done deal. The goal of Wulaoxing can be said to be "obvious". What they want is to let a group of unfamiliar wild wolves act as "shepherd dogs", herding sheep for them and driving away other wolves.

What's more, the Five Old Stars also have the idea of ​​using the Shichibukai to strengthen the power of the World Government to check and balance the increasingly powerful and independent Navy Headquarters.

Therefore, the navy's opposition can be said to be meaningless. The result of their opposition can only be that the politicians of the Five Old Stars and the World Government abandon the navy headquarters and implement this plan independently. At that time, the Navy will only be more embarrassed.

Instead of doing this, it is better to actively participate in the King's Shichibukai plan as early as possible and get as much say as possible.
