Kaido Pissing and Playing with Mud?
In the ordinary world, the reform of government departments is naturally a top priority.
However, in a world where extraordinary power can be gathered, these are merely the backdrop for those top-tier powerhouses.
People's attention is also more likely to be focused on these strong individuals.
With the support of the Publicity Department.
Former captain of the Flying Pirate Fleet, former Admiral of the Golden Lion Pirate Grand Fleet, "Tianhai" Shiki received a pardon from the World Government.
The news that he is about to join the Air Force Headquarters has sparked widespread discussion and attracted much attention in various sea areas of Sea Star.
Some people are happy.
It is believed that the World Government's military strength has been further enhanced, which will certainly be of great help in future Otherworld conquests.
But some people have doubts.
I feel that the World Government and military have absorbed too many One Piece. Putting aside whether their existence is a hidden danger, what about the crimes they committed in the past?
These voices grew considerably a few days ago when Douglas Bullet was promoted to Army Headquarters Admiral.
Because this guy had been roaming the first half of the Grand Line for a while.
At the time, it was unknown how many ships and people were slaughtered by him.
Finally, he attracted the attention of the Marine Headquarters and was personally defeated and captured by Garp. But now, several years later, he has become a high-ranking military Admiral?
Is this fair to the innocent victims who died tragically before?
Those who support the World Government's absorption of powerful One Piece argue that the Otherworld war concerns the fate of all Sea Star.
On matters of principle as important as these, we should not dwell on personal grudges.
These powerful individuals who originated from One Piece can essentially make amends and atone for their sins by contributing to the World Government and the interests of the Sea Star.
Such a view naturally drew fierce criticism from those who disagreed.
They think that what they say is too easy, that they haven't personally experienced the pain of losing relatives and friends, yet they casually ask others to be magnanimous and not dwell on personal grudges.
But the former disagreed.
We have to fight back, what else can we do?
Are we going to remove powerful One Piece like Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Douglas Linlin, Bullet Kaido from the crew?
For the World Government and Sea Star currently engaged in external wars, what difference is there between this and stabbing themselves a few times?
If one day we are defeated because of this, or even invaded by Otherworld, leading to the slaughter and invasion of the entire Sea Star, can you guys, so caught up in personal grudges, bear the responsibility?
Do you even understand what the big picture means?
The World Government, which is at the center of public opinion, has remained silent and simply doesn't bother to respond to such trivial matters.
This can be seen as implicitly supporting one side's viewpoint.
That's the style of World Government.
Overbearing.
It was in this lively atmosphere that Shiki's mind returned to normal and his legs were fully recovered.
Amidst the astonished gazes of many doctors, nurses, patients, and their families, Earth Flow of the World Hospital, dancing a strange dance and humming along to the music.
"Ahhhh, ocean! Sky! Your 'Hiten Leo' is back!!"
Shiki let the cold wind and snow of the Drum Kingdom hit him, and roared excitedly at the dark clouds and snowflakes in the sky, venting the frustration that had been suppressed in his heart for years.
Only those who have lost their freedom can truly understand its preciousness.
For someone like him, freedom is, in a sense, more important than face and dignity.
In the beginning.
Shiki had never experienced the feeling of losing his freedom, so it was only natural that he refused the World Government's invitation twice, for the sake of his dignity.
But now he has experienced the feeling of being a 'prisoner' for several years, and even had his control of his body taken away. That was an experience that was more painful than death.
In comparison.
Serving as Admiral in the Air Force Headquarters and leading Aviation Squadron to fight in Otherworld —it sounds incredibly appealing.
It's a pity that the World Government is clearly unwilling to give him the position of Air Force Headquarters -Fleet Admiral.
Although he understood the reasons, he was still somewhat annoyed.
On the snow-covered Drum Peak, Shiki let his robes flutter in the wind, his gaze fixed intently on the direction of Marine Headquarters as he murmured to himself.
"Garp, just a mere veteran, he's not qualified to block my way!"
Before we knew it, February 1st arrived quietly, much to everyone's surprise.
At this time.
On a deserted island in the first half of the Grand Line, the surrounding seas have been placed under martial law by the Marine Headquarters fleet, and Flying Warship belonging to the Air Force Headquarters are slowly floating in the air.
Among them are several 'news-dedicated spaceships' recently assigned to the Publicity Department.
After all.
We can't let a bunch of the Publicity Department officials occupy warships every time we need to broadcast live or rebroadcast; let's just give them a few spaceships directly.
And now a new 'Paramount War' is about to begin.
Shiki the Golden Lion VS Garp the Iron Fist!
People already know that if Shiki can defeat Garp or remain undefeated for five days, he will be considered to have successfully challenged Garp and will be directly promoted to Air Force Headquarters Admiral.
However, if he fails, he will "only" receive the rank of Air Force Headquarters.
That is, he is ranked below Kaido.
This is a disgrace for Shiki, considering that when he was a 'high-ranking officer' in the Rocks Pirates, Kaido was just an apprentice.
The center of the island.
Shiki gripped his Famous Sword 'Oto' and 'Kogarashi' in both hands, and laughed wildly and unrestrainedly at Garp opposite him.
"Hehehehe!"
"Garp, watch out, I'm serious this time. I advise you to take it easy, or don't blame me for being too harsh on you, my colleague, if you get hurt!"
Although he had been captured and imprisoned in Impel Down by Garp before, he believed that was because Sengoku had joined the Sengoku.
In that situation, even if Rocks were resurrected, he would be defeated.
But things are different now.
In a one-on-one fight, Shiki doesn't believe Garp can defeat him now that he's fully recovered!
"Pfft, hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Garp immediately returned the laughter, which could be considered a way for the strong in this world to greet each other.
"Shiki, forget about becoming Air Force Admiral. That position is far too early for you!"
"Why don't you serve as Kaido's subordinate for a few years to get some experience?"
Located in the Zou base, which belongs to the Air Force Headquarters and is situated in the latter half of the Grand Line, Kaido was also watching the live broadcast, heard Garp's words.
He paused as he was about to bring the gourd to his lips, then threw his head back and burst into wild laughter.
"Worororo~~"
"'Golden Lion' as my subordinate? Thinking about it, that's actually a pretty good idea. I'll apply to have him as my adjutant!"
Kaido seemed to have forgotten that there was another person in the office besides himself.
Jin asked softly, "Big brother, what about me?"
"Puff----"
Kaido suddenly spat out the wine he had just drunk, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly, and explained, "Of course I was joking, I can't control Shiki."
Jin asked again in a low voice, "So the problem is whether you can control me or not. If you can control me, then you're planning to abandon me, big brother?"
"This."
Kaido stood there speechless, but fortunately, Shiki's roar in the scene saved him from his predicament, though it only made the atmosphere more awkward.
"Kaido?"
"When I was roaming the oceans, that kid was still peeing and playing in the mud in the 'Beehive'!"
