Weapon fruit is rubbish? Have you ever heard of Ryujin Jakka?

next day

Gion, who had graduated from the military academy, took off his school uniform, changed into a peach-colored sleeveless open-chested top, black hip-length shorts, and a coat of justice, came to Rosen's house early and brought him a piece of news.

"Teacher Zhan Guo wants me to go to a meeting?"

Rosen was not surprised to learn the news brought by Gion.

He personally killed one of the Four Emperors who reigned over the New World like emperors, and not a single member of Wang Zhi’s pirate group was left alive.

If something like this happened, it would cause an uproar around the world.

Moreover, one of the Four Emperors died, which meant that the balance among the three major forces that the Five Elders had tried their best to create, even at the cost of trampling on the justice of the navy and establishing the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea, had completely collapsed.

If one Shichibukai dies, we can always find another one.

But the Four Emperors are different.

Since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era and the title of the Four Emperors came into being, there has basically never been a case of the Four Emperors being defeated.

Not to mention what happened to the Wang Zhi Pirate Group, where all members were killed.

The balance is broken.

The tide of the Great Pirate Era is growing stronger and stronger.

The New World has triggered a new round of competition among the heroes for the title and territory of the Four Emperors. This is inevitable and cannot be changed.

Just as Monet said.

Unless the Great Pirate Era ends, the Four Emperors can only be defeated and killed, but never completely eliminated.

When the old emperor falls, a new emperor will rise.

This is the Great Pirate Age.

Therefore.

Rosen could fully imagine the situation of the Warring States period at that time.

He laughed heartily at the fall of one of the Four Emperors, but was also worried that the balance of the situation had been disrupted.

It is inevitable that he will be asked to attend the meeting.

If he hadn't taken into account that he had just returned from wiping out the Wang Zhi Pirates yesterday and must have been physically and mentally exhausted, he would have been called to a meeting by Sengoku when the graduation ceremony was over.

"Yes."

"And it's the highest meeting of the headquarters."

Gion's voice paused:

"Not just you. All the navy officers above the rank of vice admiral in the headquarters are present at this meeting."

"According to Sister He, Marshal Sengoku had already discussed this with Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Aokiji, and Director Dark Horse yesterday afternoon, which is why today's meeting was held."

"But I don't know the specific content. Sister He didn't tell me."

There was a flash of red in her eyes before she continued.

Although this is the living area for general officers, Rosen's neighbors are either Sakaski who is stationed in the New World all year round, or Borsalino who guards the Navy Headquarters.

However, Gion has developed a habit of being cautious. Whenever he talks about important matters, he always uses his Observation Haki to sense the situation around him first.

After all, spies do exist in the world of pirates, and there is no shortage of various eavesdropping methods and capabilities.

"It's ok."

"We'll find out later."

"Let's go, Gion."

Rosen put on the coat of justice on the hanger, then he and Gion left the villa and walked towards the naval building.

To facilitate commuting for officers above the rank of general.

His residence was not far from the Navy Building. Even if he just walked, and at the average walking speed, it would only take half an hour to reach the Navy Building.

"Major General Rosen."

"Please come in."

at this time.

Two lieutenant generals from the headquarters were stationed at the door of the conference room.

When the two saw Rosen and Gion approaching, they saluted quickly and then opened the closed door of the conference room.

Although they were higher in military rank than Rosen, they all knew that this was only temporary.

Whether in terms of actual power or strength, he and Rosen are not on the same level at all.

Therefore.

Both of them directly put themselves in the position of subordinates, and when they faced Rosen, it was like they were facing a navy admiral.

No.

It should be the Admiral of the Navy.

"Good work."

"Both of you."

Rosen glanced at the two men stationed at the door.

As the lieutenant general of the headquarters, he could only stand guard at the door when he arrived.

From this point alone, he could see the importance of this meeting.

According to his military rank, Gion was only a colonel and was not qualified to attend such a meeting. He could only stand at the door and wait.

However, after graduation, she was awarded the rank of colonel by the headquarters and was appointed as Rosen's deputy.

Yes.

The former left arm and right arm, Dole and Douglas Barrett, now both hold important positions. In Sengoku's opinion, Gion is the most suitable person to be Rosen's deputy.

Whether in terms of credibility, strength or magnanimity, it is impeccable.

Therefore.

As Rosen's adjutant, Gion was also granted the privilege of entering the highest conference room and attending the highest meetings as an observer.

"Good morning."

"Everyone."

When Rosen walked into the conference room, the first thing that caught his eye was a large round table with seven chairs around it.

Except for one vacant chair, the other six chairs were occupied.

From left to right.

They are Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Borsalino, Admiral Kuzan, Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau Amamasa, as well as the Chief Instructor of the Military Academy Zefa and Chief of Staff Tsuru.

Other than that.

Not far away, there are two screens with video calls turned on.

One of the screens showed Admiral Sakaski and the hero Garp.

Obviously.

Although one of them was in the East China Sea and the other was in the GL 1st Branch in the New World, they still participated in the meeting remotely via video call.

Exactly the same as what Gion said.

All senior officials of the Navy Headquarters, whether they were in Maryford or not, attended the meeting in one way or another.

As for the other screen.

It was a bit unexpected.

Five human figures appeared on the video screen.

The supreme ruler of the world government.

Five old stars.

They also attended this meeting.

"Rosen."

Seeing Rosen's arrival, the senior naval officers in the conference room did not show any impatience for waiting.

In terms of military rank, Rosen can be said to be the lowest in this conference room except for his deputy Gion.

Similarly, in terms of age and seniority, he is also the youngest.

But from the admiral to the chief of staff and the chief instructor, all the navy officers whose ranks and seniority were much higher than his were willing to sit here and wait quietly for Rosen's arrival.

As for the five old stars.

All the navy officers sitting in this office, including Garp in the East China Sea and Sakaski far away in the New World, reached a unanimous consensus without any words or eye contact.

What are the Five Elder Stars?

Today it is the Navy's mascot.

They only have the right to attend and the right to speak, but no veto power.

"Excuse me."

"I seem to be late."

Rosen ignored the Five Elders. Instead, after seeing that everyone from the headquarters had already arrived, he said something apologetically to Sengoku, Zephyr, Borsalino and others, and then walked towards the only empty chair.

"You're not late."

"We just arrived early."

"Because some things still need to be discussed, I will let Gion inform you after there is a clear result."

Zhan Guo shook his head and began to explain.

"Is it because of Wang Zhi's matter?"

The Seeing and Hearing Color Qi Infant has the ability to read the thoughts and memories of every breath 24 hours a day, but this ability was turned off by Rosen.

After all, every moment, a large number of memories and thoughts flood into the mind, which is a nightmare for anyone.

Therefore, unless there is hostility, murderous intent, or drastic emotional fluctuations, or a strange breath enters the perception range, the Seeing and Hearing Color Qi Infant will not take the initiative to warn him.

Without actively trying to read the thoughts of Zhan Guo and others, Rosen had no idea why Zhan Guo had called this meeting.

"It has nothing to do with Wang Zhi, but it has everything to do with you."

After Rosen took his seat, Zhan Guo did not hide anything and went straight to the point:

“This meeting was held mainly because of two things.”

"No. 1, a proposal to grant you the rank of general."

"Second, proposal for the ceremony of conferring the title of general."

He made shocking remarks and dropped two bombshells.
