Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

This wave of operations by Sengoku shocked everyone. After all, Sengoku's behavior was more or less deliberately targeting Akainu.

At this time, even the two parties involved, Akainu and Aokiji, were a little confused. After all, the Sengoku vote was really weird. After all, the score had already been significantly increased. What was the point of forcing it back like this?

Now there are only the last 55 votes left on the field. The three generals add up to [-] votes, Zefa has [-] votes, and Garp has [-] votes. However... Garp and Zefa have made it clear that they do not agree with each other, and the three of them ...Cannot vote.

This kind of deadlock is completely different from the boldness of Sengoku before announcing the vote. Before the vote, Sengoku looked like he wanted to retire, and his attitude towards the whole situation was to end it quickly.

But now that the whole situation has become clear, the Warring States Period has once again dragged the whole situation into a deadlock. You know, you, the Warring States Period, are a general from the Eagle Pagoda!

Is it possible that your career as a marshal for so many years has made you obsessed with the word "balance"?It’s uncomfortable if you’re not balanced, right? !

The votes are now balanced, but... who won?While everyone was watching eagerly, Warring States smiled and stroked his braid-like beard and said:

"What a coincidence. It seems that the voting results can only be calculated later. Today's voting results will be combined with the voting results of the World Government and the World Government's participating countries.

If you are not in a hurry to sail out and perform the mission, then stay in Marineland for a few more days. When the results come out, you will all be able to witness them together. "

Seeing Sengoku's smile, many generals in the conference room seemed to understand something. Sengoku was not deliberately targeting anyone, but he may have intended to balance the navy's votes from the beginning.

But this doesn't mean that Sengoku doesn't want to decide on a new marshal, maybe... he doesn't want the navy to make a choice, although the navy marshal is an internal matter within the navy.

However, Akainu and Aokiji have equal status within the navy, and there is nothing to criticize about either of them, of course, for a naval admiral.

Aoki seems lazy, but he has not missed any of the tasks that he should complete. He is not like Kizaru, who thinks about shirk all day long. He just looks lazy.

Akainu only seemed to be irritable, but the tasks he handled were all completed smoothly or even perfectly. After so many years in the military, the only time he did something outrageous was to beat up an official of the World Government.

This trivial matter is nothing to these naval generals. After all, Lieutenant General Skyler, the most prestigious person in the navy, is not as simple as beating up World Government officials. The Celestial Dragons have beaten him up.

And going forward, Garp has also done it. Compared with Garp and Skyler, Akainu can be said to be a pure and good general.

In the latest war that may affect the two men's battle for the leadership position, both of them were completely taken away by Skyler. Others only remember that Skyler killed Whitebeard and almost led his team to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates. group.

In the subsequent events, Skyler was also leading the team to take over the Whitebeard Sea. Aokiji and Akainu only played a "auxiliary" role in the war at the top, and There's nothing wrong with it, nothing outstanding.

In the case where there is no way to distinguish between the two, in fact, anyone can be the marshal. However, similarly, any marshal chosen within the navy will be criticized.

After all, Akainu and Aokiji both have very distinct styles, and each has their own strengths and weaknesses. If Akainu is the marshal, others will talk about the benefits of Aokizu being the marshal, and vice versa.

Therefore, no matter who is the marshal, as long as he is selected within the navy, he will definitely be criticized and even lead to discord within the navy.

In this case, it is not a bad idea to leave the choice to the world government and the participating countries. After all, in this case, there will be no such discord within the navy.

However, there are also generals who feel dissatisfied, especially Akainu and Aokiji. In their opinion, the navy should decide matters regarding the navy and throw out difficult problems. Is this the way the navy should behave?

However, the dissatisfaction of these people could no longer affect the outcome of this vote. Warring States also announced the end of the meeting, saying that they were going to count the votes, and left the meeting room directly.

The group of generals left in the conference room were a little at a loss. Skyler also stood up and prepared to leave, but as soon as he took a step, Akainu's voice came.

"Lieutenant General Skyler..."

Hearing Akainu's voice, Skyler stopped and turned to look at him. Akainu became a little nervous at this time, as if he didn't know how to say it. Skyler said:

"General Akainu, if it's not business, you can treat me to dinner and we can chat slowly."

Skyler still remembers what happened last night when he was tricked. Therefore, if he could trick someone back at this time, although he could not make up for what he had lost, it would... also bring him a little more psychological balance.

Akainu nodded when he heard this and said, "I still have some official duties to attend to. Let's talk after I'm done."

Skyler nodded and left the conference room, but Qingzhi sat in his seat, frowning deeply, not knowing what he was thinking. The meeting was over, and the whole process of the meeting felt... very strange to him.

But he can't figure it out, but the good news is that his votes are now equal to Akainu. The next step is to see the voting results of the franchise countries and the world government.

Although he was a little unhappy about leaving his fate in the hands of others, but... this gave him another chance. As long as the result hadn't come out yet, he would still have a chance.

However, he had no intention of continuing to work today and had no intention of communicating with anyone. Qingzhi went straight back to his office for a lunch break.

Kizaru stood up, patted Akainu on the shoulder, and said jokingly: "I didn't expect that I would have 55 votes in the end~ I wish I could have competed with you~"

Akainu knew that Kizaru was joking, but he couldn't laugh at this time. After all, unlike Aokiji who had regained his chance, he had missed an opportunity.

But years of self-requirement made Akainu choose to return to the office and continue working.

Fortunately, there were not many pushing things. When he finished the work at hand, there was no hotel yet. He recalled that he still had to book a hotel, so he left the headquarters in a hurry.

As for why he didn't make a reservation over the phone, or ask other marines to help him run errands, first of all, Akainu had never invited guests to dinner, and he didn't even know the contact information of those restaurants.

And secondly, he couldn't remember it. After all, he was not a general who liked to use the grassroots navy. The feeling of doing it personally was one of the few things that he could feel that he was still dedicated to justice after becoming a general.

Therefore, even when it came to running errands and making hotel reservations, Akainu still chose to make the trip himself. Of course, he actually wanted to take Kizaru with him to find it, but Kizaru didn't know where he was at this time.

At least there is no sign of Kizaru in the office, or in other words, there is no sign of Kizaru in the entire headquarters building.

Akainu was very unfamiliar with the business district of Marineland. After walking around for several times, he found a restaurant that looked pretty good. At least from the door, he could see that this restaurant had a large portion of barbecue and a large bottle of wine.

Akainu vaguely remembers that when you invite others to treat you to a meal, you must be very grand. In Akainu's understanding, as long as the number is large enough, then... it should be very grand.

"General Akainu, are you here to dine?"

Perhaps Akainu's actions as he stood at the door and looked into the hotel were too showy, which attracted the attention of the hotel waiter, who hurried over to ask.

Even though this time is one of the few rest times for waiters like them, if the customer is Akainu, he must be well entertained even when the restaurant is about to close in the middle of the night.

After all, there are rumors in Marineland that Akainu and Aokiji are competing for the position of marshal, and it seems that the date of voting is today, and today Akainu is extremely rare to come to dine...

The waiter seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said to Akainu: "Admiral Akainu, when will you officially take up the post of Admiral of the Navy?"

Hearing the waiter's question, Akainu was stunned for a moment. The voting results have not been announced yet. Why...could it be said that his support rate is so high among the civilian circles of Marinefando? !

Thinking of this, Akainu suddenly felt a little better. His original idea of ​​considering this hotel as an alternative and running to a few more to check out was instantly dissipated. This is the one!

"The results haven't come out yet, so it's hard to say."

But Akainu still answered the waiter's question seriously. After all, the voting results have not come out yet, and it is still unknown who will win between him and Aokiji.

After hearing Akainu's answer, the waiter nodded and said, "General Akainu, I understand."

Akainu didn't understand what this waiter knew, but the waiter had already warmly welcomed the guests. Akainu, who had decided to treat guests to this restaurant, did not refuse and followed the waiter into the store.

The waiter asked: "General Akainu, are you dining alone, or are you entertaining others?"

As he spoke, the waiter winked a little. Akainu didn't understand, but said: "A banquet. I want to invite Lieutenant General Skyler to dinner and discuss some things."

The waiter's eyes brightened even more. How could a loser entertain others when he loses?It seems that General Akainu will definitely win this battle for leadership, but it is difficult to disclose the results before they are announced.

However, the waiter frowned slightly when he heard that Akainu wanted to entertain someone. Which catering industry practitioner in Marineland didn't know Skyler?

Skyler is the most famous diner in Marineland. At the same time, whether a restaurant can gain a foothold in Marineland depends on whether Skyler will come and whether the restaurant can supply the food Skyler needs.

As for this restaurant, it hasn't been open for long in Marineland. It was transferred from other hotel owners after the war, and everything from the boss to the chef has been changed.

In other words, their restaurant has not yet received the "Skyler Certification". The waiter was sweating when he thought about the chefs in the back kitchen who usually took good care of him as a waiter, and even often gave him meat to eat.

There are many young employees in Malinfando who actually apply for the recruit camp. This waiter is no exception. However, due to physical reasons, he was not selected in the selection in October last year, so he chose to work here and prepare for the exam. Boot camp two years later.

After the chefs in the hotel heard about his story, not only did they not ridicule him, they even found ways to support him. They learned that it was because he was not strong enough, so they would leave a lot of leftovers.

Although it is unsightly and a bit delicate, the nutritional value is not much different. If you want to grow taller and strengthen your body, it is definitely right to eat more meat. These practices made the waiters extremely grateful to the chefs.

When he learned that these chefs were about to be tested by Skyler, he inevitably became worried. He picked up the menu and already had some ideas in mind.

Holding up the menu, the waiter said to Akainu: "General Akainu, if you are going to entertain Lieutenant General Skyler, I strongly recommend you order these barbecues, especially this low-temperature and slow-roasted barbecue with fruit wood, the meat is fresh and tender. , and also very delicious.

There’s also this red wine slow-braised beef, grilled whole lamb chops, submarine sandwich...”

The waiter kept introducing Akainu. The dishes he introduced were all very large portions, and... they could be prepared in advance, especially the slow-roasted and slow-cooked series. The restaurant prepared a large amount of food every day, making it simple and instant. superior.

This was the only way he could think of to help relieve the pressure of the chef. The worst thing was... tell the manager and boss not to entertain other guests tonight, but to serve these two in full.

Akainu nodded as he listened to the waiter's introduction. He rarely ate out. He usually went to the navy headquarters cafeteria. Occasionally he didn't go to the cafeteria. That was what Kizaru decided to take him to eat.

So under the waiter's introduction, he felt that these were very good. When the waiter's introduction was over, he nodded and said, "Have a copy of what you just said!"

Akainu actually doesn't like waste, but he has to be generous when treating guests to dinner today. The worst he can do is eat more tonight and don't let the food go to waste!

The waiter's face was even more stern. The waiters also had a circle, and there were many waiters in the hotel who had come from other restaurants. They had learned about Lieutenant General Skyler's appetite...

The waiter made a calculation in his mind and said: "General Akainu, I still recommend that you... order twenty portions of each dish. After all, you have a big wedding today, so you have to be more elegant, right?"

Akainu frowned slightly when he heard the waiter's words. This young man was going too far. He was indeed willing to spend a sum of money to entertain Skyler today, and he didn't care how much he spent.

But the kid in front of me, who may not be underage yet, is going too far, right?Twenty copies of each?Is that enough to hire a detachment?He invited Skyler, not the entire Zhanye detachment.

"Are you kidding me?"

Akainu asked with a slightly dissatisfied tone. The waiter felt great pressure for a moment, but thinking of the chefs in the back kitchen who were usually very good to him, he gritted his teeth and said:

"No, General Akainu, I sincerely recommend it. You will not be disappointed."

Akainu frowned and looked at the waiter without speaking. At this time, other waiters had already gone to notify the manager who was resting in the utility room.

Just when the waiter felt like he couldn't hold it anymore and cried, the manager finally ran over and said with a smile: "General Akainu, I am the restaurant manager. Is there any unpleasant misunderstanding?"

Akainu pointed at the waiter and said, "Ask him yourself!"

The manager smiled and nodded, then pulled the waiter aside and asked. After learning about the guests Akainu was going to entertain, the manager's face became serious.

After hearing what the waiter said about the menu he recommended to Akainu, the manager patted the waiter on the back and said, "Well done, your salary will be doubled this week!"

Afterwards, the manager returned to Akainu and said: "General Akainu, I already understand, but...I also insist on the recommendation we gave."

Just after he finished speaking, the manager saw Akainu's dissatisfied look. The manager was frightened and said quickly: "General Akainu, don't get me wrong. If you are not satisfied with the dishes tonight, or if you can't finish them, I will give you my permission." The Lord is free of charge!"

"Can't I afford the money?! Do you know how many people are hungry in the sea?!"

"No, no, no, General Akainu, you have misunderstood. What I mean is that for your happy event today, the banquet must also be accompanied by a banquet. Banquets are all about an atmosphere.

Please trust my professional judgment. As long as I pay for the leftover food tonight and treat all municipal staff to the meal, I will never waste a penny. "

After hearing the manager's explanation, Akainu's brows did not loosen, but his anger was reduced a lot. After all, he didn't know what a treat was like. Maybe it was the same as what the manager said?So Akainu said:

"Then let's go with what you said. If there is any leftover, you don't need to pay for it. I'll pay for it myself. But you must fulfill your promise and not waste a single penny of food!"

"Yes, yes! Never waste food!"

Hearing that Akainu finally agreed, the manager breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Are you going to have dinner tonight? What time will it be specifically? We can make preparations."

"Well, tonight, the specific time is...seven o'clock."

Akainu thought for a while and said, he usually has dinner at seven o'clock, so it should be about the same time to start dinner at seven o'clock. The manager calculated the time and found that it was still plenty, so he nodded with a smile and said:

"Then I will start making arrangements. It is a great honor to entertain you."

Akainu waved his hand, then reached into his arms and took out his wallet. He originally wanted to pay the bill, but he calculated the menu price quoted by the waiter in his mind and multiplied it by twenty...

Akainu took out all the dozens of [-]-yuan bills in his wallet and said, "This is the deposit. You should do it well. I will make up for the rest later."

"No rush, no rush..."

Despite what he said, the manager was still very honest and paid Akainu's deposit, but he had no intention of settling the bill. After all, it seemed that he was in a hurry to ask for money.

You can do this with ordinary customers, but you can't do this with Akainu. Especially after learning from the waiter that Akainu will be the marshal, the manager has no time to flatter him, so he doesn't dare to ask for money in a hurry.

Akainu, who did not often come to the hotel to eat, did not know this process. He paid the deposit and walked directly out the door. The manager accompanied him all the time. When he arrived at the door of the hotel, the manager said with a smile:

"General Akainu, please."

Akainu stepped out of the door, and the manager said: "General Akainu, I believe that the sea will definitely get better and better under your management."

After hearing this, Akainu, who was originally feeling a little unhappy, suddenly felt... This black shop didn't seem so hateful anymore. If they could avoid wasting food, then it wouldn't matter.

It doesn't matter if you invite others to eat the food. As long as the store can avoid wasting it, it would also be nice to entertain those municipal workers who work hard every day.

On the way home to get the money, Akainu also told Skylar the time and place for dinner tonight. After returning home, Akainu took enough money, thought about it, and took more.

After all, when I just placed my order, I didn't seem to order any wine. Although Akainu doesn't usually drink much, Kizaru takes him to drink, but it seems to be the norm to treat guests to dinner with wine.

Shaking his head, he once again criticized that shady shop in his heart. It only knew how to cheat money, but didn't even know how to use wine for the banquet. So Akainu reached for some more money, thinking that he could order wine tonight.

But what Akainu didn't know was that it was precisely because Marinefando's catering industry knew the person he was going to entertain that they didn't recommend wine. After all, Skyler always had fruit tea or fruit punch wherever he went.

After taking enough money, Akainu returned to the headquarters building non-stop. After all, it was not the "off duty" time yet. It was too much for him to leave in the middle. It would be inappropriate to leave early.

Akainu stayed alone in the office in the afternoon, and no one was looking for him. In other words, some generals originally wanted to find him.

But Akainu's behavior of leaving after the meeting was like saying "Don't look for me" to these people. Akainu didn't understand the subtext, but the other generals did, so even if he returned to Marinefando, no one would dare to disturb him. he.

It wasn't until after six o'clock that Akainu tidied up the office and left. When he came to the hotel he had booked, Akainu paid the balance and offered to buy some more drinks.

But the restaurant manager politely refused, which was very honorable and also gave Akainu a reason that he couldn't refuse.

After all, he asked Skyler to dinner to discuss some things. The restaurant manager said that drinking might delay business, so Akainu gave up his plan to drink.

It was already approaching seven o'clock, so Akainu chose to wait in the box. Skyler was not late. After all, he was not active in cooking and had a brain problem.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Skyler entered the private room. Before she could exchange a few words with Akainu, the restaurant manager asked if the food would be served, so the two of them were not in a hurry to chat and waited for the food to be served.

After a round of dishes was served and the waiter left the box, Skyler asked: "General Akainu, you invited me to dinner today. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Akainu nodded, and became extremely nervous. After holding it in for a long time, Akainu said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, I understand that you must have been under a lot of pressure, but... thank you very much for trusting me, support me."

Skyler blinked and looked at Akainu. She felt it. Akainu came just to thank him, and...does it take such a big battle to thank him?

After being stunned for a while, Skyler waved his hand and said, "It's all for justice!"

Hearing Skyler's answer, Akainu burst into tears. My parents gave birth to me, and they know me...Skyler!

Why does this sentence sound familiar?
