Pirate Lord of Darkness

Chapter 362 Prelude to the Medal Ceremony

Perhaps the huge actions of the Night Pirates gave the powerful people of the new world a great sense of crisis.

This rising star is chasing after them at an extremely fast speed. If they stagnate, it may not take long before they are overtaken by the Night Pirates.

The urgency brought about by this made the war in the new world more intense. They also wanted to continue to expand, and the only way to expand was through war to gain a larger territory.

Especially the Sea of ​​Chaos, a territory that originally belonged to the two veteran overlords, has more abundant resources and more intense wars. In addition, the Whitebeard Pirates inserted themselves into this sea area after basically carving it up.

It directly confuses the originally dilapidated situation and breaks it with a single blow. The previous carving up was just a foreplay, but now it really begins. If you want to gain more territory, you need to use your strength to speak for itself.

Two weeks after the Night Pirates settled in the Kingdom of Christie, a grand medal ceremony at the Navy Headquarters that attracted worldwide attention was about to take place.

This investiture ceremony, which is also a promotion ceremony, can be said to be long overdue.

It could have been held earlier, because Teach invaded Impel Down, the world's largest underwater prison, and released almost all the vicious criminals from infinite hell.

This suddenly disrupted the plans of the Navy Headquarters, and the promotion ceremony had to be postponed.

These criminals cannot be ignored. I wanted to capture these fugitive criminals and imprison them in Impel Down City again, but they ushered in a war initiated by the Whitebeard Pirates.

Facing the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy Headquarters did not dare to underestimate them. In addition to the war with the Whitebeard Pirates, in the first half of the Great Route, the navies from all over the world, in addition to capturing pirates, also have many other tasks. A large part of the mission is to cooperate with the navy and the World Government's intelligence organization to capture these vicious criminals who escaped from Impel Down.

Even the two general candidates, Sakaski and Frieda, who did not participate in the war, did not relax. They spent most of their time arresting these criminals who had not yet fully recovered from Impel Down City.

The navy's huge machine was running. During this period, some criminals were also captured, but only a small part of them. The navy still underestimated these criminals' desire for freedom and their cunning. Now that they escaped from Impel Down City, they Why are you willing to go back?

A few people have long since disappeared, hiding in the dark and starting to stir up the storm again.

After the war, the Navy's momentum increased significantly, and it took some time to deal with things.

Compared with the excitement of the new world, the activity of pirates, and the four sea emperors, the pirates' momentum has greatly increased. The navy and the world government also want to take this opportunity to overcome the heat on the sea.

It was only now that the awarding ceremony, which had been spread across the sea for a long time, began to be held.

Compared to the chaotic and noisy new world, the naval headquarters has become a sea of ​​cheers.

The Navy Headquarters, which is usually solemn and serious, is rarely as cheerful and lively as it is now.

Because, everyone knows that the awarding ceremony will start in three days.

The Navy Headquarters is about to enter a new chapter.

This is a large-scale celebration that may only happen once every ten years or even ten years.

Moreover, this honors and promotion ceremony is special. It is a promotion ceremony for all members of the navy, including the promotion of marshals, admirals, vice admirals and the lower ranks of the navy, as well as the backbone of the navy.

There are also promotions at lower levels, but they are not on the surface, but are internal promotions. Otherwise, with so many people, I don’t know how long it will take.

In the past, these investiture ceremonies were basically separate, and they were not as grand as this one.

Therefore, in addition to newspaper reporters, all friendly forces also sent people to watch the ceremony.

For example, Hannibal, the new warden of Impel Down City, the presiding judge of Judiciary Island, represents the deputy chief of CP0, Forrest, but he wears a strange white mask on his face, making it difficult to see what he looks like.

Some kings, ministers, and envoys of the participating countries, such as King Cobra of Alabasta on Sentin Island, etc.

There are also two members of the Shichibukai, "Tenyasha" Doflamingo and "Sand Crocodile" Crocodile.

It seemed that he wanted to show off his power and intimidate the two members of the Shichibukai, so he called them over.

After Doflamingo became King Shichibukai, the navy also changed its policy. Instead of waiting for those pirates to come and become King Shichibukai, it took the initiative to find those big pirates.

So the Navy found Crocodile, who was hiding somewhere after failing to challenge Whitebeard, and invited Crocodile to join.

As a rising pirate in the new world and a user with the natural devil fruit Shasha fruit ability, Crocodile undoubtedly has the strength and reputation, even if he failed to challenge Whitebeard.

After learning of the Shichibukai's privileges, Crocodile agreed to become a Shichibukai.

When they came to Marineland, the navy did not dare to take action against them. At such an important moment, if they took action, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the World Government, and the plan of King Shichibukai would also be declared bankrupt.

If someone really takes action against them, then who else will become the King's Shichibukai?

Therefore, even if someone is unhappy with them, they can only endure it and entertain them with good food and drinks.

Aceses, the director of Impel Down City, is recuperating from his injuries. After all, his entire abdomen was penetrated, and coupled with the decline in resilience due to old age, even after such a long time, Aceses's injuries have not fully recovered.

However, with his ability, there was no problem in maintaining his combat power. He returned to Impel City early and guarded it.

In fact, Deputy Director Magellan also really wanted to attend the award ceremony. In the absence of the Director, he, the Deputy Director, was undoubtedly the most qualified. Unfortunately, his idea was rejected. The entire city advanced to protest.

They don't want to show up at such a big celebration with a portable toilet, it's really embarrassing!

Therefore, they picked the taller one among the short ones among the remaining jailers, namely Hannibal, who was also very loyal to Impel Down. In order not to be too poor in status, they promoted Hannibal to the position of warden. The position that became vacant after Hiryu of the Rain betrayed Impel Down and joined the Night Pirates.

It has to be said that Hannibal is very lucky. Becoming the warden can be said to be a step to the sky. Director Aces has not been out of office for long, and he is now the third person in Impel Down.

When Director Aces steps down, if nothing else happens, he will be the number two person in Impel Down. It is very likely that the position of Deputy Director will be his, and he will become the second in command in Impel Down City in one fell swoop.

As for the presiding judges of Judiciary Island, there are actually three, but for some reason, the three of them wear the same clothes and look like a person with three heads.

No one cares about them, who are nominally at the same level as the Navy Marshal, CP0 Commander, and Impel Down City Director.

Even the world government doesn't value justice itself, only cares about the process and results, which makes the three of them exist only as puppets.

Therefore, the purpose of the three of them is very simple, that is to come here to meet the big brother and hold his thighs.

As for Forrest, the deputy chief of cp0, although he is very unhappy with the Navy, he is definitely not here to cause trouble, and the Navy does not know his thoughts.

This time, he represented cp0 and the world government in participating in the award ceremony. His arrival also gave the navy considerable face.

Just like there are doves and hawks within the Navy, there are also partisanship within cp0.

A waste like Spandam can enter CP0. Naturally, don't expect much harmony within the CP power structure. The competition is also very fierce.

Some agents with CP0 strength have also been kicked out of the CP0 list. This is naturally the result of internal strife and suppression.

And this kind of factional struggle is actually acquiesced by the five old stars. In peacetime, they don't want to see an overly powerful leadership appear.

In this generation of CP0, there is a competition between the two factions represented by the two vice presidents, Forrest and Gaia, and a neutral camp must be added to it. If it is further subdivided, it can also be divided into large groups through the relationship network. Groups large and small.

The number of cp0s is already small, but the competition brought about by this will be more intense, and many cp0s will die due to internal friction.

There was also a fierce competition for the personnel to appear this time. In the end, Forrest stood out, not only because Gaia also had an important mission, to find and capture the most vicious criminals in the world today, the Revolutionary Army. The leader "Dragon".

There is also the current general candidate, Frieda, who is about to be promoted to general. He originally belonged to Forrest's subordinates, and it was Forrest who inserted himself into the navy.

The precious fruit of repulsion was also delivered to Frieda through Forrest's hand.

It is this precious and powerful ability that gives Frieda the capital to become a general. His strength will continue to improve in the future, greatly raising his upper limit.

However, Forrest's purpose is not just to participate in the medal ceremony.

There was a man sitting there, exuding a terrifying aura, which put great pressure on the senior naval officials around him.

The four general candidates all looked solemn. This guest from CP0 was very powerful, even terrifying. There was no doubt that he was much more powerful than them.

Although they knew the mystery and power of CP0, it was their first time to really come into contact with such a strong person. They secretly paid attention to the organization CP0. After becoming a general, they obtained the privileges of a general and went to check out the information about CP0. information.

Only Frieda had some idea about Forrest and guessed who he was. After all, they had been in contact with each other over the years, although it was not long.

Forrest, meant to intimidate the navy, showed the power of cp0.

At the same time, he also beat Frieda. Although Frieda was his subordinate, he had been in the navy for more than 20 years. Now his identity was discovered and communications with him were cut off by the navy.

Although this cannot hinder CP0, as long as CP0 wants to, there are still many channels to contact Frieda, even if Frieda is watched by the Navy.

However, in order to prevent Frieda from having any evil thoughts and to be on the safe side, although Frieda was vaguely isolated within the Navy, there was still a possibility that he would completely fall to the Navy's side.

It was really like this. With Frieda's strength and identity, there was nothing he could do against Frieda.

Forrest was very dangerous. It wasn't until the arrival of Warring States and Garp that he hid his aura and looked like an ordinary person, but no one dared to underestimate him.

As for those kings, ministers, and envoys, their goals are as simple as the three presiding judges on Judiciary Island. Yes, they also come here to hug me.

Although it is the navy's duty to protect allied countries, this protection still has a considerable scope of activities.

The navy's experience is also limited, especially in this era of great pirates. Basically, the only area the navy can protect is the sea area where the navy branch is located, and there are still many vacant areas.

At the same time, the active forces of the Navy Headquarters and major branches are also returning one after another.

Now, the number of general-level officers gathered in the Navy headquarters has reached more than a hundred, and there are so many powerful auras that they are about to break through the sky.

If I use a certain passage in my memory to describe it, it would be that lieutenant generals are everywhere, major generals are not as good as dogs, and everyone under the generals is ants.

In addition, the navy is unprecedentedly strong at this stage. When these forces gather together, it will undoubtedly be so strong that even the world will be shocked.

As for these "friendly forces" of the navy, they were a little frightened and fearful.

Even Forrest has to admit that the overall strength of the Navy is even a little scary. In terms of high-end strength, the Navy still has some advantages over CP0, especially the real growth of general candidates such as Sakaski. stand up.

After all, the violent institution that the world government relies on to rule the sea is the navy.

But it is precisely because of the terrifying power of the Navy that these CP0 members led by Forrest want to overpower the Navy.

"The Navy Headquarters is really too powerful!" Hannibal, who was dressed like a pharaoh, had a calm face, but sweat was dripping from his back, feeling the powerful aura.

"How do I feel that a major general sent by the Navy Headquarters can flatten Judicial Island?" The three presiding judges looked at each other, and then showed flattering smiles, "With the protection of the Navy Headquarters, our Judicial Island no longer has to worry about safety. Problem!"

And Spangdine, who also came from Judiciary Island, had the great achievement of pressing the golden phone bug and activating the demon-slaying order to destroy O'Hara.

The commander-in-chief of CP9, a secret service agency directly under the World Government, also felt the true power of the Navy under the protection of the two CP9s. After all, he had personally seen the horror of the Demon-Slaying Order, which was only a part of the Navy. configuration.

So he was careful not to offend others in the slightest, especially during this period. Compared to his stupid and useless son, Spangdine was undoubtedly smarter.

Everyone knows that the navy is very strong, and this year's navy is even more powerful than ever, even more shocking than the golden generation of Karp Sengoku Zefa.

But the lineup displayed in front of them was still too strong!

This is also due to the pressure faced by the Navy Headquarters and the enemy's power is too strong.

Four sea emperors, many sea overlords, rising stars who continue to appear, "Descendant of the Devil" Douglas Barrett, "Dark Emperor" Teach, many vicious criminals who escaped from the Impel City, and the "Aloof" with terrifying power. red".

There is also the chaotic underground dark world, even the revolutionary army, and the increasing number of pirates.

The Navy Headquarters faces so many enemies and they are so powerful. With this comparison, the power displayed by the Navy is actually not difficult to accept.

But the navy is a force. In terms of force, the navy is undoubtedly recognized as the number one in the world.

The reason why the navy shows such a powerful force is not only for the people and allies to see, but also for those big pirates, ferocious and powerful enemies. For the navy's award ceremony, even the four sea emperors You won’t miss it, and many forces are paying close attention.

……

There are still two days before the start of the awarding ceremony, and the audiences from all parties are almost here.

Navy Headquarters, a fat humanoid bird was walking in the Navy Headquarters, wearing a black top hat with a red and white feather on it, a light blue shirt, and a yellow bow tie.The lower body is wearing red and white plaid trousers and a black cloak.

He held the camera in his hand and kept taking pictures.

This is "Big News" Morgans. In addition to being a journalist, Morgans is now an entrepreneur and capitalist, holding a large amount of wealth and the key to entertainment around the world.

He took his own team of reporters and took pictures around the Navy headquarters. After all, it was not during the live broadcast, and the use of video call bugs was strictly prohibited within the Navy.

Therefore, the photos and some information taken here are exclusive information.

Of course, he was still measured. Not far away, there was a navy watching, fearing that any important information would be revealed by this guy.

…………

Sakaski's room was not luxurious, but unexpectedly very simple, even a little monotonous.

The sharp-edged man with firm eyes is trimming the potted plants. Even for such a casual thing, it gives people a feeling of going all out.

Unexpectedly, this iron-blooded soldier could be so leisurely in private.

At this moment, there is another man with an extremely lewd expression in this room.

Polusalino looked at Sakaski Chiguo's upper body, tilted his mouth and said, "Hey! Such bright cherry blossom and rose patterns are really incongruous on your body!"

"Could it be that, Sakaski, you actually have a coquettish heart?"

Click!

The branches that were cut off suddenly were burned to nothing in an instant under the extreme high temperature.

"Oh~" Porusalino raised his hands consciously, "What a terrifying monster! Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"You came to me just to talk nonsense like this?" Sakaski said in a deep voice.

"The attitude towards old classmates is too cold!" Seeing that Sakaski didn't move, Porusalino could only shrug and said, "Well, I actually want to see your reaction."

"Reaction? How can I react to something as natural as being promoted to general?" Although it sounds a bit Versailles to ordinary people, Porusalino, who knows Sakaski, knows that this is a fact.

They have extraordinary potential, coupled with the top Devil Fruit and their own hard work, it is natural for them to become generals.

Moreover, Sakaski was the target of the Navy Admiral when he was recommended by the North Sea Naval Branch to the Navy Headquarters for his strong strength and outstanding achievements.

Porusalino, who was in the same class as Sakaski, naturally knew that, but he was not originally from the Navy, but was specially recruited directly to the Navy headquarters through his powerful Devil Fruit ability because he received news about the elite class of the Navy headquarters.

"You know what I'm talking about is not your reaction to your promotion to general, but about Frieda. After all, his identity is an issue."

"Frieda..." Sakaski paused in pruning the potted plants, and said calmly, "Is there any problem with this? Don't forget, his current identity is the Navy, and he is no longer a CP0. "

"I remember that you are not so boring, don't you care about these things? Porusalino." Sakaski glanced at Porusalino.

As a classmate, Sakaski knew Porosalino's character very well. Sakaski hated this guy who liked to fish, but he had great strength and wanted to become a naval admiral with him. .

"Hey, hey, hey, at least save some face for me!" Porusalino screamed strangely, and then continued, "The World Government actually agreed to the proposal of the four generals. Even though they knew about it early, they broke the convention. At this moment, it’s still a little strange.”

This is the character of Porusalino. It is precisely because of this that he can become the leader of the neutral faction of the navy. If he is involved in the world government, cp0 and other confrontations, it will be very troublesome for Porusalino. matter.

They all knew that it was impossible for Frieda to lose contact with CP0.

Frieda's identity was exposed. Even though he is now a candidate for general and is about to become a navy admiral, as a cp0 person placed in the navy, most of the navy's top brass keep a distance from him, feeling somewhat isolated.

Even with the guarantee of the World Government and removing his cp0 status, this is still a thorn in the side.

As Frieda becomes Admiral, it is inevitable that Frieda's influence in the navy will continue to expand as time goes by.

And this is what some people are worried about.

"You know, even if Frieda has been trained by CP0 since he was born, he still has to be a navy for a longer time. Don't forget his achievements in the navy over the years. For such a powerful combat force, a little information is nothing. ? How important can this information be!" Sakaski snorted, and there was a scale in his heart.

"Don't let a little bias affect your judgment."

Sakaski's words made Porusalino stunned, and he took a deep look at Sakaski. His view of this classmate seemed to have changed a little.

"But if he really does something that goes against justice and the interests of the navy, I will destroy him with my own hands." As he spoke, Sakaski exuded powerful power, and the air became hot in an instant, but it was perfect The control is good and it does not affect the potted plant. Otherwise, the potted plant will melt in an instant.

Don't forget his current identity, the Minister of Supervision and the law enforcer within the Navy.

"Oh, that puts me at ease." Porusalino nodded, walked out of the room, closed the door, turned into a ray of light, and disappeared.

He was originally here to talk about it, but more for others, to see what Sakaski thought.

Sakaski is now in charge of the Supervision Department and has great power. His ideas and attitude are very important.
