Early the next morning, everyone in the headquarters conference room felt that Lieutenant General Skyler, who had just returned from the New World, was exuding murderous aura.

Many generals secretly speculated that it was Sengoku who transferred Skyler back from the New World, causing her dissatisfaction. After all, this was a naval general who was keen on enforcing justice above all else.

But there is also an insider, and that is Zefa. After all, after his whole life last night, Zefa, as a teacher, naturally chose to cheat his own students.

It was Skyler who settled the bill. The three of them had a great time eating last night. They didn’t consider the price at all when ordering. This resulted in Skyler’s habitually stuffed wallet being almost empty when the bill came. Pay the bill.

Spending money is one thing, but being cheated by others and spending money is another thing. Skyler was so angry that he couldn't sleep last night, so he came to the conference room so early for the first time today.

When He and Sengoku walked in, they were surprised to see Skyler there. After all, when had Skyler arrived earlier?Seeing the murderous aura exuded by Skyler, the two of them were instantly satisfied.

Sure enough, Skyler has also grown. After all, although this referendum was colluded with Skyler, according to the usual situation, it is not in line with Skyler's willful ideas.

After all, if there was a choice between a referendum and the execution of justice, then this general would definitely choose the latter, and this time she was forced to come back, and it was only right that she be dissatisfied.

It's just that because of the previous conspiracy, He and Sengoku were still worried that Skyler would reveal his secret, but...Skyler's current dark anger and murderous intent perfectly fit the character!

Skyler has grown into an excellent general and deserves encouragement.

After the two arrived, the conference room became a lot quieter. Many generals looked at Seng Guo with a... strange look. After all, everyone now knew that Seng Guo was about to step down.

In other words, this marshal will not be able to work for long. It is like a teacher saying, I will retire after teaching you this year. The students miss him and inevitably feel some disrespect.

Warring States didn't care. After all, he wanted to retire now, go fishing, and then sit back and watch the world, moving in the direction he directed when he left office. The joy of sitting and watching the clouds roll and relax, wasn't it better than scratching his head in the marshal's office?

After all, you already have enough bragging rights, so why continue to suffer?

These people think he has no power after leaving office, and he laughs at the pressure these young people have.That's why these idiots who don't even understand life looked at him like this.

The old guys of the same generation in the conference room, including Zefa and Garp, were looking at Warring States with some envy and jealousy. After all, they have all dedicated their lives to the navy. Is it too much to want to be happy?

At their age, although the habits of many years can still drive them to carry out justice and contribute to the construction of the navy, to be honest, everyone is tired of it.

Who can not be envious when they see their former partners not only retiring, but also retiring in glory after doing something that attracted the attention of the whole world?

But these old guys are too lazy to explain to the young people. After all, if these young people understand it, who will resist the navy in the future?

Moreover, when they were young, they were deceived by the previous generation. They didn’t understand the value of life until they were [-] or [-] years old and suffered from injuries. Why should they teach these young people?They are not Lao Hutu.

Just when people of the two age groups looked at the upcoming retirement of the Warring States Period with their own eyes, time passed little by little, and more and more generals gathered together.

This time is not a meeting of all generals. After all, some generals may be performing their missions at the most critical moment, so forcibly recruiting them would be too much.

The reason why Skyler was "forcibly" recruited was because, on the one hand, they had colluded before and Skyler had agreed to come back, and on the other hand, her vote value was too high.

With Skylar's influence in the navy, her vote may influence the decisions of quite a few neutral generals, and if he abandons his vote, the impact will be huge.

However, although it was not a meeting of all generals, basically everyone who could be present was present. At this time, the conference room was filled with chaos, waiting for the three generals, these three candidates.

Of course, everyone knew that Kizaru had directly withdrawn from the election. It was just that as a general, he had to participate in this referendum. He did not even go to the road show to win over the participating countries.

When there was only one minute left before the agreed start time of the meeting, the three generals Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji finally arrived. Kizaru felt extremely uncomfortable walking between the two of them.

Half of his body was burned by magma, and half of his body was penetrated by ice. He Kizaru remembered that this was not what the two worlds of ice and fire meant.

When the three generals entered the conference room, the originally quiet conference room became even quieter and the atmosphere gradually became more solemn.

The three generals sat in the predetermined seats, which was a symbol of the beginning of the meeting. However, this time the ppt fruit ability user was not there, but it seemed that he had reached the military rank to participate in the meeting.

However, because this meeting was special, it could only be hosted by Warring States. After all, he was not afraid of offending anyone, and if he said something wrong, there would be no consequences.

Warring States also stood up at this time, walked to the podium with two document bags, put down the two documents, and Warring States said: "I believe all colleagues also know the purpose of our being here.

I have resigned from my post as marshal. I am asking you all to come here today to select the next marshal.

The votes for the World Government and the franchising countries are already in my hands. Next, there is the vote for our navy. The voting ends today and cannot be changed or invalidated.

I won’t waste much of your time. After all, we probably didn’t know about it until today, so... think about the candidates you want to vote for.

There is no need to make things mysterious. After all, we are also the last round and the most direct round of voting. Those who support Akainu, please raise your left hand, and those who support Aokiji, please raise your right hand. "

"What if you support Kizaru?"

Just when Sengoku was speaking very seriously, Garp suddenly asked. Sengoku was stunned for a moment, and then became furious. How could Garp not know that Kizaru had withdrawn from the election.

It's just that it's impossible to say this kind of thing directly to avoid being said by others. Even the admirals don't want to be marshals of the navy. There may be problems within the navy.

But Garp, a bastard, still asked this kind of question at this time, but it was not good not to answer. He coughed lightly and said: "Those who support Kizaru, just don't raise your hands.

No need to raise your hands in a hurry, I haven't said the votes for each general's choice yet. "

Seeing Garp start to switch between raising and withdrawing his hands, Sengoku just wanted to have a fight with Garp. This guy was so annoying. Didn't you see how serious the situation was now? !What about this Kapu dance aerobics? !

"The votes for Commodore and Rear Admiral will be counted as one vote, Lieutenant General will have five votes, and General will have ten votes. If he concurrently holds the positions of Chief Instructor of the Navy, Chief Inspector of the Navy, Chief Naval Staff Officer, and Marshal, an additional ten votes will be added."

After Warring States finished speaking, Garp frowned and said dissatisfied: "Then I only have five votes?"

As he said that, Garp looked around and found that besides himself, Zefa, He, Skyler, and Sengoku on the stage all had more valid votes than him, and he instantly became dissatisfied.

Sengoku showed a bastard-like smile. He was deliberately trying to make Garp angry. After all, as long as it was properly controlled, giving Garp five or ten votes would have no effect at all, but Sengoku wouldn't give it!Don’t want to give it!

"If there are no other questions, you can start voting by show of hands."

Ignoring Garp's words, Sengoku announced directly, but no one raised their hands. After all... the person who should express his opinion has not expressed his opinion yet.

Kizaru looked back and found that no one raised his hand, so he smiled and joked: "Hey~ Do you think they all want me to be the marshal~"

Everyone knows that this is impossible. With Kizaru's character, he will not sign the appointment letter when it is sent to his desk, let alone a campaign. At this time, he may just not want the atmosphere to be too solemn.

At this time, those sitting in the first row, except for the three generals who probably would not choose to vote, the rest are the people who should vote and set the pace.

After all, whether it is Zefa, He, Garp or Skyler, their decisions will change the direction of many people. However, everyone also knows that Zefa will not vote, and He and Sengoku on the stage may not vote until the end.

Although Garp has a lofty status, it is estimated that not many people will follow him today. Now almost all generals are waiting for Skyler's vote.

Although most of the generals believed that Skyler would definitely choose Aoki Pheasant, after all, Skyler was also a general of the Dove faction. At this time, many generals of the Dove faction had smiles on their faces.

After all, they feel that their side is sure to win. The number of dove generals at this time is greater than that of the hawks. If Skyler supports Aokiji, he will bring the neutral navy over. At that time, they will be the doves. A crushing victory.

In the eyes of the hawk generals, there was some regret. It was a pity that Skyler was not the general of their faction. Although Skyler usually had a good relationship with them, few people thought that Skyler would choose to support Akainu at this time.

The generals who followed Skyler in the New World were very confused when they saw the stasis in the atmosphere, because they all thought of the possibility that Skyler might not support Aokiji. .

After all, if the factions were divided according to the past, Skyler would definitely vote for Aoki Pheasant for their respective interests and reputation, and there was nothing to hesitate about.

But Skyler's current attitude is... strange.

At this time, Qing Pheasant also frowned slightly. He did not have a ticket to go to Ras Skyler, because he knew that people like Skyler would not change their minds just because of wooing him.

However, when Shan Shan had the idea that Skyler would not support him, Qingzhi was still a little panicked. After all, the neutral general's large granary was almost tied to Skyler's hands.

Whoever she votes for wins, and Skyler hasn't chosen to vote for her for so long, so... maybe it's cruel.

Akainu's originally calm face at this time also changed slightly. Although the two had talked freely about the marshal,... Akainu didn't think Skyler would vote for him.

After all, even from the most superficial perspective, if Skyler does not vote for Aokiji, it would be tantamount to betraying his own camp and faction. If Akainu were to sit in Skyler's position, it would be difficult to choose to vote for another person. .

Although Akainu firmly believes that if he serves as marshal, he will do better than Aokiji as marshal, but he is convinced, but there is no way to convince others.

What's more, Akainu doesn't think that after Aokiji becomes the marshal, the navy will decline. It just won't flourish as if he led the navy. Regarding Aokiji's ability, Akainu still recognizes it.

It is impossible for people to be completely selfish, especially in the current situation. After all, if Skyler votes for Akainu, he will break the existing factions and offend Aokiji and a large number of dove generals.

And paying so much price, just to choose another general who may not do a better job, is a choice that even Akainu finds difficult, let alone others.

But now, there seems to be a little hope, which makes Akainu start to yearn for it, and at the same time he starts to get nervous. After all, what if in the end, he just thinks too much?

While countless people were watching, Kizaru suddenly asked: "Skyler-chan~ Are you going to vote for me~"

Skyler, who had maintained a tense expression, suddenly couldn't hold back and almost laughed out loud. This Kizaru was really a master of the art, and he could never predict what kind of job he would perform.

Skyler is really not that nervous. After all, she is not worried about breaking the foundation of the existence of the two factions, nor does she care about what other generals think. As for waiting, it is just a pretense.

But he didn't expect that Kizaru would break his defense with just one sentence.After shaking his head, Skyler raised his hand and made his decision.

"Wow~"

The moment Skyler voted, the entire conference room seemed to explode. A group of high-ranking generals were making noisy noises like naughty primary school students in the classroom.

After all... Skyler raised her left hand, which means that the person she supports is Akainu. You know, that is Akainu! ! !There were even some dove generals who couldn't hold it back and shouted directly:

"Lieutenant General Skyler, to support General Aokiji, you have to raise your right hand, not your left!"

But Skyler was unmoved. After all, choosing to vote for Akainu was not a temporary choice, but had been decided long ago.

And...Skyler knew that the two men, Tsuru and Sengoku, would bring Akainu and Aokiji's votes to the same level, perhaps to the point of balancing them with the other two votes in his hand.

In other words, no matter who Skyler votes for, these two people will vote for another person, and even control the votes they can control, balancing the entire vote pattern.

But at this time, the chaotic voices in the conference room could not stop. No matter what, Skyler still voted for someone whose identity she should not have voted for.

Akainu looked at Skyler in surprise at this time, but in his surprise, he was also grateful. After all, Skyler voted for him under the pressure of an entire faction.

Aoki's face was very ugly. Although he had just guessed that Skyler would not vote for him, when it actually happened, he still found it difficult to accept it peacefully.

In the midst of the chaos, two more generals made their choice, Ace and Law. Ace voted for Akainu without any doubt. After all, Akainu was both his former commander and the commander-in-chief. his teacher.

Therefore, Ace is also classified as a hawk. It is natural for him to vote for Akainu. It would be treason for him not to vote. But what is surprising is Luo's vote.

Luo also raised his left hand, which was very puzzling. After all, Luo had almost no interaction with Akainu. The only reason why he voted for Akainu was probably to follow Skyler's vote.

And those generals who followed Skyler to clear out the Whitebeard Sea in the past six months also made their choices at this time. They all chose Akainu, and they seemed to be following the vote.

Among the neutral generals, some people began to make choices. Smoker and Tina, who were sitting together, both raised their left hands.

Both of them are neutrals, but the reasons for becoming neutrals are different.

Smoker offended Skyler when he just graduated, or in other words, before he graduated. As a result, almost no one dared to take him in, and he did not belong to any faction.

And Tina has been working in logistics for so many years. Her Black Throne Force is responsible for logistics. There is no need for logistics personnel to join that faction, so she has not become a general of any faction.

Although they are two neutral navy, in the conference room, they still have different attitudes towards their votes.

No one cared about Tina's choice. After all, Tina did have the freedom to vote, but Smoker... Smoker also noticed that at this time, countless dove generals were glaring at him.

Smoker lowered his head at this time and had no intention of fighting with these generals. After all, he knew why these generals glared at him, because... what he did was indeed unreasonable.

When he offended Skyler, no one in the entire navy dared to speak for him. Only Qing Pheasant came forward. Although Qing Pheasant did not include him in the detachment, it was the superiors who lobbied for him.

It can be said that if it hadn't been for Aokiji's intervention back then, Smoker wouldn't even have the qualifications to stay in the navy. How could the current situation be turning around?

But is this how Smoker "repays" his benefactor?

Is this what people should do to vote for Akainu, the person who competes with Aokiji?Is this what you, Smoker, are supposed to do?

It's a pity that this is a conference room, otherwise they would have to talk to Smoker. After all, Smoker's behavior is so inappropriate, he should vote for Qing Pheasant.

And there should be no hesitation, no excuses, and no other choice to directly vote for Qing Pheasant, because without Qing Pheasant, there would be no general like Smoker today!

Listening to the continuous discussion behind them, the two Aokiji couldn't help but turn around and forget to take a look. At this glance, they found that the people who had raised their hands at this time, without exception, all supported Akainu.

Even when he saw Smoker supporting Akainu, Aokiji's heart twitched hard.

His face became ugly, but... he finally turned around, not wanting others to see his expression at this time, and not wanting to share the complicated and unspeakable emotions in his heart with anyone.

However, the discussion among the generals at the rear did not stop there. During the discussion, the eyes of some dove generals became wandering.

After all, the decision made by Skyler has brought about a situation where Aokiji is almost in a losing situation. If they continue to choose Aokiji, they will most likely offend Akainu.

One characteristic of dove generals is that they tend to think too much. Unlike hawk generals who advocate using force to suppress pirates, dove generals prefer to solve problems in a more peaceful way.

This leads to many dovish generals who like to overthink. Such doves also attract more generals who are good at maneuvering to join them.

At this time, quite a few dove generals have come to their senses. Since Akainu is almost certain to win, do they still want to vote for Aokiji?

After all, no matter whether they vote for Aokiji or not, Aokihiko is destined to lose in this marshal election, and their votes will only determine whether Aokihiko's defeat will be more honorable or ugly.

And for this little face-saving project, is it really worth offending Akainu, the future marshal?

Or should we be more sensible and rational and surrender directly to Akainu at this moment?After all, in the final analysis, Akainu is not an enemy, but a colleague. The previous tense situation was just a factional fight.

It's not like they have any grudge against Akainu, so why do they continue to maintain the appearance of the dove faction that is about to be broken when the existence of the faction has been basically broken by Skyler?

The left hands of some dove generals even began to move at this time. After all... Skyler took the lead. Skyler had already voted for Akainu. If they voted again, there seemed to be no problem.

After all, after today, doves are already a joke, and no general will say that he is a dove in the future. Without doves, the opposing hawks will naturally cease to exist.

Just when many generals of the Dove faction were planning to defect to Akainu, He finally couldn't help but raise his hand. After all, she was also from the Dove faction. If no one supported Aokiji, her face would be tarnished, and... .In that case, the number of votes cannot be controlled.

Seeing He's reaction, many of the dove generals who were about to raise their left hands stopped. He was sending out a signal.

It's OK to lose, but it can't be too embarrassing. Even if it's not themselves who are embarrassed, they still have to think about it.

Therefore, the noise in the conference room gradually subsided, and the generals made their own decisions.

Except for the three generals, Zefa, and Garp who "voted" for Kizaru, everyone else had already made their choice. Sengoku silently counted the votes on the spot. Akainu was ahead by exactly twenty votes. This coincidence made Sengoku a little bit agitated. Secretly delighted.

So in full view of everyone, with Akainu almost declaring victory, the Sengoku Marshal... raised his right hand.
