In the solemn conference room of the Navy, the atmosphere was as depressing as before the storm.
Kizaru still looked that lazy, with his eyes half-closed and his body leaning back slightly, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.
He secretly thought to himself that he only needed to follow the usual rules of conduct, no approval, no objection, no suggestion. All he had to do was wait for Sengoku Sang to say something. Why bother bothering with these things? This was his lazy way of survival.
Akainu's eyes widened angrily at this time, and he roared at Aokiji, "The person who died is not yours, of course you don't care!"
Aokiji looked calm and responded calmly, "That's not the problem. The current situation New World cannot allow us to lose at all!"
He knows the severity of the current situation, and every decision and every battle may affect the pattern of the entire world.
Sengoku spoke slowly, his voice was calm and solemn, breaking the tense atmosphere. "In the second half of the Sea Area original Three Emperors situation has been broken, now the first Yonko has been produced, then Red-Haired Pirates·Shanks!"
This news was like a boulder sinking into water, instantly creating ripples in everyone's hearts.
Why did Shanks take the position of Yonko earlier than Original Work.
In fact, the reason behind this is closely related to Allen.
Allen's astonishing growth rate has doubled Shanks's pressure. He is several years older than Allen. If he does not do well, he will definitely be mercilessly laughed at by Allen when they meet in the future.
Shanks can even guess the general appearance of Allen's sarcastic words. "Hey, Shanks, why are you getting more and more crotchless!"
When he thought of such an embarrassing scene, Shanks launched fierce actions in New World. He continued to seize territory and frequently harassed other Three Emperors.
Perhaps fate favored his hard work and determination, and he finally succeeded in getting into the position of Yonko.
Sengoku went on to say, "This new Yonko is also one of the former Pirate King's trainee crew members, and he and that bastard are brothers."
Hearing that Yonko and Allen had such a close connection, everyone began to whisper among themselves.
Gion's face was full of helplessness and complexity, and he secretly sighed in his heart what kind of "troublemaker" his man was.
Almost all of the many major events that have occurred in the past few years are inextricably linked to Allen. It is as if a day without going against the government and the navy will make you feel uncomfortable.
Sengoku feels a headache when he thinks of Allen's hateful face.
At this moment, he was still struggling with a piece of bombshell news about Allen. This news was so shocking that he didn't even know how to say it.
He knew that once the news was revealed, it might cause public outrage, but as Fleet Admiral, he could not disobey World Government's decision.
After much hesitation, he decided to tell everyone.
Sengoku lightly knocked on the table and said calmly, "Everyone, please be quiet. Just now World Government conveyed the latest notice to our navy."
"Due to the new promotion of Sea Emperor, for the sake of the balance of the world, World Government decided to establish Shichibukai in advance."
This news once again plunged the atmosphere in the conference room into a new wave.
Akainu's face instantly darkened, and he was extremely opposed to this proposal.
In his opinion, pirates are the embodiment of evil, and cooperating with pirates is simply a blasphemy to the navy's name of justice.
However, as a soldier, it was his bounden duty to obey orders, so he could only endure his inner dissatisfaction.
In addition to Akainu, some more experienced people such as the other two Admiral, Garp and Chief Officer Tsuru have already known about this plan.
Most of the other Vice Admirals looked puzzled. After all, they had been promoted for a relatively short time and had little contact with such high-level secrets.
Sengoku looked around slowly and saw several people whispering to each other, obviously not clear about the situation.
Sengoku then explained patiently, "Most of the people here probably don't know what Shichibukai is, so I will briefly explain it now."
"Shichibukai means that it is composed of seven well-known Great Pirate. They only obey the orders of World Government. When summoned, they must act for the government. In exchange, these seven Shichibukai have legal plundering status at sea. This means that we can't control them even if they kill, set fire and rob."
Sengoku gritted his teeth unconsciously as he told the story. He was extremely resistant to this way of cooperating with pirates.
The navy upholds justice, but Shichibukai does the same thing as pirates. This is such an ironic and helpless reality.
But they have no choice, because the navy is directly under World Government and must follow the government's instructions.
Sengoku paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, if you want to become Shichibukai, you also have strength requirements. At least you must have strength above Vice Admiral. I am not talking about Vice Admiral Garp!"
Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Garp, who was dozing off at the side, and they secretly recognized in their hearts that although Garp usually behaves in a loose manner, when it comes to strength, he is more than enough to be a Marine Admiral.
Then, Sengoku's face suddenly turned ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The government's number one recruitment target is that bastard!"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone showed shocked expressions when they heard it.
They never imagined that World Government could ignore past grudges.
Allen has a history of kidnapping Celestial Dragons twice. For such a "thorn in the side", the government actually wants to recruit him as Shichibukai.
Akainu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He stood up suddenly and shouted, "I don't agree!"
After saying that, he angrily punched the table in front of him, and the solid table was instantly smashed into pieces.
This sudden and crazy move frightened Kizaru, who was carefree and leisurely at the side. He could not hold the nail clippers firmly and dropped them to the ground.
Kizaru screamed in his heart, he didn't want to be involved in this unnecessary disaster, so he immediately held the armrests on both sides of the chair with both hands, then lifted the chair and moved it quickly towards Garp's position, almost touching Garp.
Gion's mood at this time was extremely complicated.
On the one hand, she hopes that Allen can become Shichibukai. In this way, Allen and the navy will become an alliance, which can reduce conflicts and confrontations between them to a certain extent.
But on the other hand, Shichibukai's identity is still a pirate after all, and she really doesn't want to see Allen take the road of being a pirate.
She was constantly struggling with conflicts and entanglements in her heart, but could not find a perfect solution.
Sengoku looked at the furious Akainu, knowing very well how much impact this incident had on him.
Allen has always been the sworn enemy of the navy, and there is a deep hatred between the two sides. But now the government's decision will make them become allies in an instant, and it cannot take action against Allen.
Sengoku sighed helplessly and said in a calm tone, "Sakazuki, sit down and calm down. I know it is difficult for you to accept this fact, but this is a notice issued by the government, and we can only cooperate."
At this time, Chief Officer Tsuru spoke slowly, with a hint of comfort in her voice, "Don't be too discouraged. That kid may not accept World Government's recruitment. After all, he is not a master who obeys orders. He might kidnap another Celestial Dragons to blackmail the government."
