Yi Xiao didn't care about military rank and spoke directly.
"Since I'm new to the Navy, I can simply become a naval soldier under Admiral Purple Kirin."
After hearing this, Sengoku waved his hand and said,
"That won't do. Since Senga acknowledges your abilities, your position should at least be above the school level."
At this point, Senga directly offered her suggestion.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I suggest that Ikko be promoted directly to Vice Admiral."
These words startled everyone present, but Senga ignored their reactions and continued speaking.
"The Navy's power now far surpasses that of any of the Four Emperors' crews. It's time to give those pirates a warning. I'm preparing to start a war."
"Start a war!?"
Sengoku's pupils dilated suddenly as he looked at the serious expression on Senga's face, knowing that he wasn't joking.
Senga crossed her arms and said calmly,
"How dare a mere pirate possess the title of 'Emperor'? This is a disgrace to justice! I will show the world the justice of the Navy!"
"Well said!"
The office door was pushed open roughly, and everyone present except Senga turned to look.
Akainu stood excitedly at the door, thick smoke billowing from his body.
He strode up to Senga, his eyes fixed on Senga's Rinnegan, and said in a deep voice,
Were you serious about what you just said?
Senga's expression remained completely unchanged, yet her words were resolute and unwavering.
Do you think I would joke about something like this?
After releasing the pressure of his Rinnegan, he sensed Akainu's arrival, so he wasn't surprised by Akainu's sudden entrance.
Akainu was startled by Senga's response, and then a smile appeared on his face, which was extremely rare for Akainu couldn't help Sengoku stare at Akainu's face again and again.
He abruptly turned to face Sengoku and spoke,
"I agree with all of Senga's suggestions. The Navy will never fear war, and at this moment, it is perfectly reasonable to make an exception and promote a capable Vice Admiral!"
Akainu didn't even glance at Robin. He had already overheard Robin's story at the door. He was originally against the Child of the Devil joining the Navy, but after hearing Senga's subsequent words, he completely forgot about Robin.
Because what Senga said and what she wanted to do was exactly what he wanted to do. What Four Emperors? Aren't they just a bunch of pirates?
Justice cannot be desecrated. Akainu had long wanted to completely wipe out this group of pirates, but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible to do so by his own strength alone.
But now the Navy has Senga!
Although Akainu was always confident in his own strength, he had to admit that Senga's title as the strongest Admiral was not just an empty name, but a well-deserved one.
Now that he knows that Senga's idea coincides with his own long-buried dream, he immediately becomes like a powder keg that has been lit, unable to suppress his excitement any longer, and wishing he could go and start a war against the Four Emperors right away!
Sengoku stared at the excited Akainu, stunned for a long time before slowly speaking.
"This matter is of great importance. I think we should gather all the general-level officers at headquarters to discuss it. As for Issho's rank... Senga, do you have any suggestions?"
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I suggest sending a Vice Admiral lieutenant generals to fight Issho. This will allow others to directly see Issho's strength."
After listening, Sengoku nodded. This method was indeed good and could better win over the people.
He no longer hesitated and agreed to Senga's suggestion.
Three days later, in the headquarters square,
A large number of headquarters soldiers had already gathered here, whispering among themselves.
"Have you heard? A newcomer named Yixiao has caught the eye of Admiral Purple Kirin, and they say he's going to be promoted directly to Vice Admiral!"
"Wow, this speed of advancement is terrifying!"
"Who can argue with that? That's why Fleet Admiral Sengoku decided to put this Issho to the test, and sent several Headquarters Vice Admiral examine whether he truly deserved it!"
"Actually, if you ask me, the fact that Yi Xiao caught the eye of Admiral Purple Kirin means that his strength is absolutely undeniable. When has Admiral Purple Kirin ever had a bad eye?"
"Yeah, that newcomer named Yamato is a monster!"
"Hmph! No matter what, I will always believe in Admiral Purple Kirin!"
"Alright, our opinions are useless. Didn't you see all the generals are here? The final result depends on them."
On the high platform in the square, almost all the Vice Admiral were present, except for Garp, who "consciously" sat with Sengoku.
Gion sat down next to Senga without any hesitation. Everyone knew about their relationship, and no one said anything about it.
On the other side of Senga were the other three Marine Admiral, not only Akainu and Aokiji, but even Kizaru, who usually liked to slack off, had been forcibly dragged here by Sengoku.
Logically, although this matter was significant, it shouldn't have warranted the presence of all the Marine Admiral. However, Sengoku's reason was that he needed to announce something extremely important to the entire army after the battle, and absolutely no one could be absent.
This aroused everyone's curiosity, Gion was quietly asking Senga,
"Senga, do you know what exactly the matter that Fleet Admiral Sengoku was talking about was?"
Senga smiled mysteriously, patted Gion's hand, and whispered,
"Don't worry, the answer will be revealed after Yixiao finishes the competition."
Seeing that Senga didn't want to talk about it, Gion didn't press the matter further. She moved her seat closer to Senga and calmly awaited the upcoming battle.
The same thing happened to Sengoku. Tsuru asked Sengoku the same question as Gion. Sengoku had just seen Senga's performance, so he imitated Senga and did it in a similar manner.
However, Tsuru was not Gion; her expression darkened, and she said...
"What? What is it that even I can't tell you? Then I'll leave?"
As she spoke, He stood up abruptly, seemingly intending to leave early.
This startled Sengoku. He quickly grabbed the crane and whispered,
"What could I possibly not tell you? I was just trying to keep you in suspense, but actually, it's like this..."
After Sengoku finished telling Tsuru about Senga's idea, he secretly glanced at Senga and Gion, who was sitting next to him looking like a virtuous wife and loving mother, and thought to himself, "..."
"How can there be such a huge gap in treatment between people!"
Tsuru didn't care what Sengoku was thinking. After learning of Senga's idea, she fell into deep thought. After a while, she said to Sengoku with a serious expression,
"If this was proposed by Senga, then I think it's feasible!"
"..."
Sengoku was speechless with frustration. He waved his hand and said,
"You guys figure it out!"
