At this moment, Aokiji temporarily put aside the doubts in his mind.

Immediately, the live stream switched to him.

In an instant, everyone saw that the person on the screen had changed to Fleet Admiral Aokiji.

They were all taken aback for a moment, but then their faces lit up with excitement. Because, right next, they might witness history.

"I hereby announce that Vergo has passed the final test. His strength is evident to all. Therefore, I have decided to apply to the Five Elders to appoint Vergo as Marine Admiral."

"Good..."

"Very good..."

Naval officers and sailors alike cheered.

The morale of the navy had been extremely low for some time. The appointment of a new Marine Admiral has greatly boosted morale.

Although it has not been officially confirmed yet.

But everyone knew in their hearts that Vergo's position as Admiral was basically secure.

The Admiral felt much better at this moment.

Previously, everyone felt as if a stone was weighing on their hearts. After all, what if both positions of Marine Admiral were taken by those newly recruited in this World Military Draft?

Those navy personnel are really embarrassing themselves.

Meanwhile, within the Holy Land, the Five Elders were discussing matters.

Saint Nusjuro spoke first, "Vergo's battle with Kizaru has demonstrated his strength at the Admiral level. Regarding whether or not he should be promoted to Marine Admiral... let's all share our opinions!"

Saint Peter, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn exchanged glances.

Finally Saint Peter said, "Vergo's strength has already been demonstrated. He truly possesses the level of Admiral, and he only recently ate Devil Fruit. Therefore, his strength will increase rapidly in the short term. So, I believe he has the ability to become Marine Admiral."

Saint Warcury nodded in agreement and added, "He's always been neutral, so he doesn't have the same concerns as Momousagi or Chaton. Therefore, I agree to let him take the position of Marine Admiral."

Saint Mars frowned slightly. "But this guy's style has always been very similar to that of the Dove Faction. In that case, he might easily be won over by Aokiji and become a member of the Dove Faction."

Saint Saturn immediately waved his hands, saying, "I don't see it that way... Yes, his style is very similar to that of the Dove Faction. But don't Sengoku and the others know? Even before he consumed the Mythical Zoan, Vergo was a top-tier lieutenant Vice Admiral. Would Sengoku miss out on someone like that? He's probably already secretly courted him..."

Upon hearing this, the other four nodded in unison, even Saint Mars, who had just raised an objection.

Saint Nusjuro: "Saturn is right. If this guy wanted to join the Dove Faction, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?"

Saint Peter, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, Saint Saturn exchanged another glance. "Then it's settled! Vergo will become the second Marine Admiral. His inauguration ceremony will be held three days from now!"

Saint Nusjuro added, "Isn't his ability the Mythical Zoan, White Tiger Form? Then let's use White Tiger for his Admiral title!"

The four of them nodded in unison; this title couldn't be more fitting.

Whole Cake Island.

The Big Mom's face was extremely pale at this moment.

Cracker stood before her, trembling... because he had failed to capture Luffy and Law.

He now deeply regrets it.

At the time, he didn't even lift a finger; the Biscuit Soldier he created overwhelmed the two marines. Most importantly, this was only because he held back, hoping to lure out the person behind it all.

With his strength, he would have taken them all down long ago. Moreover, after crushing them for a while, he still hadn't lured anyone out.

He had already decided to take it decisively and not waste any more time.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Fire Fist Ace from the Whitebeard Pirates arrived and rescued everyone... which led to the current awkward situation.

"Call..."

The Big Mom took a deep breath, her eyes turning extremely hostile. "So, behind Luffy and Law, it's this Ace?"

Cracker shook his head. "Based on my past understanding of Ace, this guy follows the unspoken rules of our four pirate crews. Injuring or crippling him is possible, but directly killing six of our brothers and sisters is unlikely... Therefore, I speculate that there is someone else behind Luffy and Law."

"As for Ace coming to rescue him, he probably knew that Luffy trouble on our Whole Cake Island. After all, he's his brother, and he couldn't just leave him to fend for himself."

Charlotte Perospero glanced at the Big Mom's expression and saw that she didn't seem to be about to lose her temper, and that she had indeed taken Cracker's words to heart.

He immediately added, "Mom, I think Cracker's guess is right. There must be someone else involved, and I think the missing Mont-d'Or and Brûlée are in this person's hands."

Charlotte Katakuri: "If that's the case, then we need to think carefully about why this guy captured Mont-d'Or and Brûlée."

At that moment, he clenched his fists.

He absolutely would not allow anyone to harm his brothers and sisters, and once he found this guy, he would make him wish he were dead. Otherwise, he would not be able to quell his hatred.

Charlotte Katakuri's words silenced everyone. Even Big Mom Byun fell silent!

Why?

Why?

What is it about Mont-d'Or and Brûlée that makes them so highly regarded?

They racked their brains but still had no clue.

"Investigate! You must find him! Find this guy at all costs. I want to personally drain his lifespan, and I want to make dolls out of his soul."

As she spoke, an invisible force erupted from the Big Mom, making it difficult for her children present to breathe.

Charlotte Perospero: "Don't worry, Mom! I'll definitely beat that guy up and bring Mont-d'Or and Brûlée back."

The mother roared a few times, then waved them out.

Charlotte Perospero, Charlotte Katakuri, and Charlotte Cracker quickly left Big Mom's room, walking side by side.

The expressions on their faces grew increasingly solemn.

No one spoke, and they walked quite a distance before Charlotte Cracker finally broke down. "The only thing about Mont-d'Or Brûlée that could be of interest to anyone is their Devil Fruit abilities. Don't tell me you didn't think of that..."

Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Katakuri paused. They could easily see this, but if it really was aimed at their Devil Fruit abilities...

Therefore, the person who made the move must be a Moke Pirates.
