That's not an important matter.
Hearing Grandpa Rayleigh's reminder, Gawain gently shook his head.
"Because I set up two medical squads, one whose main responsibility is rear medical care, and the other whose main responsibility is battlefield support."
I envision the Fourth Division as a medical center for all our future occupied territories, including the Dark Bird Ship, serving as a rear medical force focused on curing diseases and developing physical therapy and pharmaceuticals.
As for the Fifth Division, I hope it will become a rescue division primarily focused on treating combat injuries and providing battlefield first aid, capable of directly confronting war and providing immediate emergency treatment during battles.
Although the core functions of these two squads are similar, their roles are quite different, and their duties are vastly different.
Therefore, the best idea is to hand over these two squads to Kureha and Crocus and let them decide for themselves.
However, I suspect that Kureha probably doesn't like to show her face in public and drag her over 100-year-old body into battle.
Mr. Crocus, on the other hand, would probably be more interested in the frontline battles.
"I see."
Upon hearing Gawain's explanation, Rayleigh smiled knowingly.
"In this way, they won't have any thoughts of arguing, after all, although their medical skills are similar, their personalities are different."
Moreover, the medical systems of two entire squads can reduce our soldiers' fear of injury and illness. After all, your idea of vigorously developing medical technology is itself a way of protecting the lives of soldiers.
In particular, if we can train more doctors from them and then provide corresponding medical care to the families of our soldiers.
This is a very generous and attractive benefit for them."
After saying that, Grandpa Rayleigh picked up the wine jug, pondered for a moment, and took a sip.
After drinking some wine, he looked at Gawain and asked.
"However, here, in addition to the Eleventh Division you mentioned before, which is used for combat."
I feel that these five squads have covered most of the components of the battle.
So, what are the remaining seven squads doing?
As he finished speaking, Rayleigh's gaze deepened, and he had no particular objection to the function that was supposed to appear.
But apart from that, what exactly are the core tasks of the remaining squads?
Meanwhile, seeing the inquisitive look on Rayleigh's face, Gawain continued his story.
"The Sixth Division is indeed quite special in my plan."
I prefer to call this squad the Royal Command Division for now!
"What?!!"
Before Gawain could finish speaking, the mere mention of the name "Royal Commander" was enough to elicit a look of astonishment from Rayleigh, who was standing to the side.
He took a deep breath, then shook his head as he spoke.
"This is not a good idea, Gawain. Just from the name, I can already tell what it is about."
The Royal Command Division will clearly be a team with privileges open to royal families from various countries!
But such privileges are inherently unfair to ordinary people who rely on their own efforts!
Although I can glean some of your thoughts from the word "temporarily," perhaps you want to use this squad to lead some changes.
But I always feel that if you unleash the beasts of bloodlines that exist between social classes, then the changes you desire may not be achieved.
"This squad might even become an unmanageable problem!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh looked at Gawain with utmost seriousness, while Gawain leisurely took a sip of his drink.
Setting down his glass, Gawain said casually.
"Don't worry, Mr. Rayleigh. For other people, such a squad would certainly be uncontrollable."
After all, people in the world today place too much importance on bloodline. The education they have received, generation after generation, has been based on social rules derived from the theory of bloodline.
Therefore, in theory, such a team would indeed become an uncontrollable beast.
But this is only in general terms, and only for ordinary leaders. As for me, I don't seem to be ordinary.
Of course, I'm not bragging about my abilities; what I mean by "extraordinary" is my status.
I am Celestial Dragon!
Therefore, I must make the most of this identity, especially when this identity allows me to disregard everything in the world Affiliated Nation family!
At this point, Gawain's smile deepened, and Rayleigh even saw a hint of deeply hidden mischievousness in his eyes.
Gawain continued speaking.
"The reason for creating such a squad is partly because, as I mentioned before, the concept of bloodline is too deeply ingrained in the minds of people in this world."
Of course, I could start by formally blocking the Grand Line and fully launching our plan, raising the banner of destroying the existing aristocratic system of society.
However, doing so would undoubtedly cause trouble for our campaigns against the various Affiliated Nation, and in particular, it would delay our unification process and the time required for it.
Therefore, I have provided another path for the world's royalty and nobility, a path that makes them feel that they may be accepted by me, and even that by being accepted by me, they may lead me to gradually accept them, and thus rely on and depend on them!
In short, I laid out a tight net for them, but I also left a gap in it. When they rushed in, they discovered that I had dug a pit behind that gap!
At this point, Gawain drew a simple net pattern on the scrap paper.
"Listen to my detailed plans for this squad, old man."
Regarding the captain and vice-captain of this squad... well, for other squads, I would leave the selection of the vice-captain to the captain himself.
But for this squad, I will personally appoint the captain and vice-captain.
The captain is Hancock, the queen of the Amazon Kingdom and the lord of Amazon Lily. Her status and strength are very suitable.
As for the vice-captain, I would choose Shirahoshi. As the Poseidon, she has the strength to qualify, and her status as the princess of the Fish-Man Kingdom also gives her an appeal to non-human races.
Besides, they are all my women!
I believe that with such a status, they could easily suppress other royal families in the world, leaving those guys with no intention of resisting.
On the other hand, in this squad, I only recruit members of royal families and noble families from various countries who are under the age of sixteen!
Now you should understand. That's right, while giving them a break, I also need to fundamentally change the composition of those royal family members.
Choosing young, promising individuals whose values are not yet fully developed to reform them, allowing them to gradually adapt and integrate into our rules, is the correct way to cultivate the foundation of nobility and royalty.
In the future, when one successive heir to the throne stands on our side, many countries will have already crumbled without a fight!
And..."
Gawain paused briefly, then gently tapped the table.
"It is indeed unfair to the common people to bring together nobles and royalty and give them special promotion paths."
However, if we put ourselves in the shoes of the royal family members, making them ordinary members of the same squad as outstanding ordinary people, it would actually be a form of fairness to the common people.
I think that when our future commoner members of the squad find that their status and treatment on the ship are basically the same as those of royalty...
This will be a huge motivator for them!
After he finished speaking, Gawain continued, making a definitive statement.
"In short, this squad must be established, and it must be done openly and honestly."
Only when this problem is solved in my time can a new era truly begin.
If we don't use my status to suppress them, but instead allow them to gradually change and integrate into our group, we can transform them in this way.
Am I supposed to try and win them over with fairy tales about love and freedom?
After speaking, Gawain looked at Rayleigh, his eyes full of confidence.
As for Rayleigh, the old man sighed softly, then sighed deeply.
"If that's what you're saying, then there's some truth to it."
"Since that's the case, then let's do as you wish. Although I'm still a little worried about this kind of squad, I have complete confidence in you, Gawain."
Rayleigh reached out and patted Gawain on the shoulder, then waited quietly for Gawain to continue.
Meanwhile, after receiving the answer he wanted, Gawain continued speaking to Rayleigh.
"That's good. With that, the core of the Sixth Division is determined. Next up is the Seventh Division."
I will make Gion the captain of the 7th Division because I want the 7th Division to become the Inner Court Guard, which is an elite guard squad that nominally serves only me.
To be honest, now that I have the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and my strength has improved significantly, I don't really need any guards.
But my status dictates that I cannot be as willful as a free person.
Regardless of how many things threaten my safety, or the long-standing tradition of the inner court guards, I need a professional team dedicated to protection by my side.
I considered Gion's role for a long time, deciding between her as a guard and a fighter. After much deliberation, I still hope she will become the captain of the guard team and protect me closely.
On one hand, she is a powerful being without Devil Fruit abilities, and she does not possess any significant weaknesses.
On the other hand, I will also participate in the war in the future, and even frequently. Therefore, my guard and I will play a more decisive role in guiding the battlefield situation and boosting our morale.
In this respect, Gion is a beautiful woman, and she is more likely to attract everyone's attention, thereby maximizing the boost to our morale.
As for Hancock, although she is more eye-catching than Gion, on the one hand, her strength combined with mine is not enough to make a decisive difference.
On the other hand, Hancock seems rather irrational when it comes to my questions.
In short, let Gion take on the role of Gion.
"I won't argue with you about this; in fact, I wholeheartedly support your decision!"
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Rayleigh immediately voted in favor. He glanced at Hancock, who was eavesdropping and whose expression shifted between dissatisfaction and extreme joy, and let out a long sigh.
"Although Snake Princess looks alluring and wanton, she is actually naive and inexperienced when it comes to love. Sometimes, her purity and naivety in love are even more serious than that of silly girl Shirahoshi."
In short, Hancock should go and suppress the future royal family members; her Conqueror's Haki is perfect for that.
As for your guards, Gion is truly more suitable than Hancock."
"That's good."
Gawain nodded in satisfaction, then continued speaking to Rayleigh.
"That concludes the introduction of the squads with unique responsibilities."
The task facing the remaining squads is very clear.
I hope the Eighth Division becomes an intelligence division, and without a doubt, their captain is Shakky.
As for the vice-captain, I can guess without being told that Shakky will definitely choose Falcon Pell.
These past few days, Shakky and Pell have recruited a large number of Eagle Intelligence Agents, so it's only natural that they would be the team leader.
Similarly, this squad also supplemented the promotion path for members of the Black Ice Terrace Defence intelligence unit.
The Second Division is responsible for covert operations, assassinations, and sabotage, while the Eighth Division is responsible for intelligence and espionage—this makes perfect sense.
Having discussed the Eighth Division, the Ninth Division is even clearer to understand.
Because the Ninth Division is a prison division!
At this point, Gawain looked towards Shiryu, who was training in the distance. No one was more suitable for the Ninth Division's platform than Shiryu.
After all, Shiryu was the deputy warden of Impel Down.
At the same time, Gawain continued speaking.
"I sincerely hope that the 9th Division of the Dark Bird Prison can become a prison that sinners fear far more than Impel Down!"
Because I not only want Shiryu to guarantee that mortals cannot escape, I also want to give him the right to execute prisoners.
I don't want to end up like Impel Down, with some pointless non-killing policy and those so-called endless tortures that might even help prisoners grow and become stronger!
"That's right!"
Beside him, Rayleigh was absolutely certain of Gawain's decision; he even clapped his hands lightly.
"The idea of not killing people only gives people a false sense of security. How can a murderer truly fear a soldier who doesn't kill?"
If sinners are allowed to live in Impel Down simply because they ate a few Devil Fruit and gained some abilities...
Even if future sinners only wish to avoid immediate execution after being caught, they should exaggerate their sins to the point of qualifying them for a place to live in Impel Down.
After all, people generally prefer to live rather than suffer endless torment!
After saying that, Rayleigh lowered his hand, and Gawain continued his story.
"Next is the 10th Division, the patrol and security team. Their main responsibility is to better uphold our laws and regulations as the number of people on the Dark Bird Ship increases and the land we occupy and the people we manage also increase."
I believe that Kuma can do this job very well. He has both the meticulous personality suitable for military police and the Devil Fruit ability to send squad members to various islands for surprise inspections at any time!
After discussing the 10th Division, let's move on to the 11th Division. As I've already mentioned, this division will be the purest combat division.
So, the captain of this squad naturally smiled, after all, his strength was at its peak, and he could be considered the strongest one on our ship at present.
He can lead the combat squad!
"Hmm, that's suitable. What about the Twelfth Division?" Rayleigh asked casually.
"The 12th Division is the Technical Division, which is a division specifically used to develop weapons, manufacture ammunition, and repair ships."
Simply put, Franky is capable of this job, and Dan can assist him well in accomplishing what we need.
As for the Thirteenth Division..."
At this point, Gawain's brows furrowed with an barely concealed smile.
He continued speaking while laughing.
"I have designated the Thirteenth Division as a special combat division, also known as a special operations division."
After all, this vast ocean has never lacked people with special combat abilities.
These talents may not possess the raw strength to rival the Four Emperors in direct combat.
However, they all need to possess certain personal abilities that can create special pressure on the enemy in special circumstances!
Just like Jinbe!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain smiled and looked at Jinbe.
"I still can't forget Jinbe's palm strike that came down from the sky..."
By using Observation Haki to control the seawater, the seawater containing Seastone can be accurately smashed onto monster-level powerhouses!
With just this one skill, Jinbe, who is hiding in the sea carrying out special operations missions, can threaten almost everyone with Devil Fruit abilities!
