Chapter 160 / Chapter 161

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

The office was now silent, the atmosphere eerily tense, as if some great terror was brewing.

At this moment, Garp was the first to react, slamming his fist on his desk and bursting into laughter, "The call was hung up on! Sengoku actually got his phone hung up on, hahaha..."

"Yo yo yo~~" Borsalino, always fond of courting death, smirked and said sarcastically, "These young people nowadays, they're really scary."

"They even dared to hang up on the Fleet Admiral! That's terrifying!"

Sakazuki was on the verge of rage. His face darkened, and he began to curse, saying something.

"Damn Pirate, how dare they insult the Navy's justice! Unforgivable!"

Doberman's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he sneered, "At Onigumo's speed, he can definitely reach Alabasta within two days."

"That damn Chris, let's see how arrogant he'll be then. He'd better go to Impel Down and repent!"

Kuzan yawned, his eyes still sleepy, and said, "They even dared to hang up on Lord Sengoku; their strength is probably beyond our imagination."

Whether Onigumo can defeat him remains to be seen.

The Momonga frowned and said seriously, "If even Onigumo can't defeat him, then making him Shichibukai isn't unacceptable."

"He's so young yet possesses such strength; he'll definitely play a significant role in restraining the Four Emperors in the future."

Chaton leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said in a slick, flippant tone, "Let Onigumo take him down; that's the safest option."

"Replacing the Shichibukai is no small matter; it will inevitably cause a huge uproar, which is absolutely unacceptable."

At this moment, the crane crossed its hands to support its chin, its eyes flashing with wisdom, and spoke in an aged voice.

"Let me share my analysis!"

Upon hearing this, the office fell silent instantly. The generals stopped discussing and all looked at Staff Officer Tsuru, waiting for her to speak, showing her the utmost respect.

The prestige of the naval strategist is evident!

He didn't keep them waiting any longer and said directly, "From the conversation just now, it's clear that Chris is an extremely domineering and forceful man."

"That's true. Anyone who possesses Conqueror's Haki would definitely have this characteristic, so it's not surprising."

"Knowing that Onigumo wanted to capture him, he still dared to stay in the Alabasta Kingdom, which shows that he is extremely confident in his own strength."

"As for whether he will wait in Alabasta for two days, there's no doubt about that. After all, someone with the aura of a king will definitely keep his word."

"Considering his tone of voice and his attitude towards doing things, I personally think that we may have underestimated his strength."

Staff Officer Tsuru sighed, a look of emotion appearing on his weathered face, and murmured, "If I'm not mistaken, his strength is no weaker than Onigumo's."

"This operation by Onigumo is destined to fail; it will be a fruitless endeavor. Alas..."

(Some readers have commented that the author is a one-chapter update party, are you kidding me? I update at least two chapters every day, and they are all very long, equivalent to three or even four chapters (￣￣).)

Chapter 160

Shock.

Shock.

The generals present were all deeply shocked by what Staff Officer Tsuru.

Staff Officer Tsuru is the navy's strategist; every word he utters eventually comes true.

How could this not surprise the generals?

"Ouch~~"

Borsalino continued his reckless behavior, saying in a strange tone, "They can't even take down Elite Vice Admiral. These young people these days are truly terrifying!"

Sakazuki sat up straight, his face resolute, and said, "I know Onigumo's strength better than anyone; he wouldn't be unable to defeat even Chris."

"Staff Officer Tsuru, every single one of your analyses has been correct. But this time, I cannot agree!"

Doberman frowned, looking puzzled. "Onigumo is a true veteran Vice Admiral; his strength is beyond question."

"Staff Officer Tsuru's analysis has never been wrong and can be completely trusted."

"It seems that this situation is much more complicated than I imagined."

Yamakaji took a drag of his cigarette, smiled slightly, and said gently, "Since Staff Officer Tsuru He says so, then it must be true."

"It just so happens that the Fleet Admiral needs to report the situation to his superiors, so we can let them make a decision."

Kuzan leaned back in his chair, tilted his head, and said lazily, "That brat Chris, he really knows how to cause trouble."

At this moment, Sengoku tapped on his desk and said in a deep voice, "I will report the situation to higher authorities."

Meeting adjourned!

Rustling sounds~~

Without hesitation, the generals stood up and walked towards the Conference Room door.

Momousagi walked with graceful steps, inwardly marveling, "Chris has successfully caught the attention of the Five Elders; his progress is truly rapid."

"Now that he's completely famous and has come into the sights of important people, he's bound to gain their attention."

"I need to speed things up a bit, recruit as many promising naval personnel as possible, cultivate my own core group, and prepare for becoming Admiral in the future."

One hour later.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

This is a very spacious Palace, with fresh air, bright sunshine, and luxurious decor, exuding nobility and elegance, making it the envy of many.

At this moment, there were five people here, all men, who were none other than the Five Elders, the highest leaders of the World Government!

"The sea has been calm for so long, it's time for it to stir up some waves."

The blond Five Elders leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, calmly looking at the documents in his hands, and met Chris's gaze.

"At such a young age, he already possesses such sharp eyes. If he continues to grow, he might very well become the next Four Emperors."

"What I mean is, let the navy hunt him down with all their might, leaving no hidden dangers."

The bald Five Elders, clutching their treasured sword, said with a serious expression, "There's no need to take a mere newbie so seriously."

"You know, it's always the D. Clan that's in trouble. As for the others, they're just a flash in the pan and can't cause much of a stir, so there's no need to worry about them!"

The Five Elders, with their long beards, gently placed the documents on the table and said expressionlessly, "There's really no need to take it too seriously."

"Since we began to rule this world, countless brilliant young people have emerged, but they have all disappeared into the annals of history, posing no threat to our rule whatsoever."

"Anyway, as long as they're not descendants of D, there's no need to worry about it too much; it's not worth mentioning."

The curly-haired Five Elders sat on the sofa, arms resting on their knees, hands clasped in front of them, and calmly said something.

"Whether it's Rocks, the former ruler of the seas, Pirate King Roger, or anyone else, they are all descendants of D."

"History has proven that only the Party can shake our rule; everyone else is just making minor trouble and should be ignored."

The Five Elders with the mustache stood by the window, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and said calmly, "Let's set aside other matters for now and deal with the Shichibukai first."

"Vice Admiral Tsuru possesses exceptional intelligence; the Navy's analysis is certainly accurate, and everyone can trust him on that point."

"In other words, Crocodile is destined to be a loser and will not be able to continue sitting on the Throne of the Shichibukai."

He slowly turned around, crossed his arms, and said calmly, "My personal suggestion is that the position of Shichibukai must not be changed!"

"If the Shichibukai are replaced, it will definitely set off a bad trend, and then all the Pirate will learn from that brat Chris."

"Then this sea will fall into chaos, which will be detrimental to our rule."

The blond Five Elders stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and said in a deep voice, "The sea has been calm for so long, it's time for some fun."

"Replacing Crocodile will ignite the Pirate's passion and let them fight to their hearts' content, thus eliminating the need for the Navy to intervene."

"After all, the allure of the Shichibukai is simply too great; no Pirate can remain indifferent to it."

The bald Five Elders, still clutching their treasured swords, solemnly declared, "In this vast ocean, strength reigns supreme; age and seniority are irrelevant."

"If Crocodile is killed, it only proves that he lacked magnanimity and deserved to die."

"We introduced the Seven Warlords of the Sea system to restrain the Four Emperors and at the same time deter the Pirate below."

"If someone is not capable enough, then there's nothing to say, just replace them."

"As for unrest at sea, that's a minor matter."

The bald Five Elders looked at them and said firmly, "The Navy has always been the master of the seas. What is there to fear from a little chaos!"

The long-bearded Five Elders leaned back on the sofa, his head slightly bowed as he looked down at the ground, and said in a low voice... 0

"A calm and tranquil sea is conducive to our rule."

"If Crocodile is replaced, the balance will be broken, the seas will inevitably be turbulent, and the times will change."

"This situation is undoubtedly very bad, and it will put a lot of pressure on the Navy, making it difficult for them to carry out their work."

"Therefore, personally speaking, the position of Shichibukai is absolutely irreplaceable, without a doubt!"

The curly-haired Five Elders leaned back, crossed his arms, and said expressionlessly, "This Chris is just a rookie brat."

"For him to think he can disrupt the balance of the ocean is nothing but a pipe dream."

"As I just said, the only one we need to take seriously is the D. Clan. This kid Chris, no matter how much potential he has, or even if he possesses Conqueror's Haki..."

"He's just a nobody, not worth mentioning!!"

"So, if Crocodile gets killed, then let this brat become Shichibukai. No need to overthink it."

The Five Elders, sat down and said casually, "We agreed before that we can discuss it, but we can't argue."

"Although I strongly oppose it and do not want a replacement among the Shichibukai, our rules dictate that the minority must submit to the majority."

"Two objections, three votes in favor, and that's how the matter is settled."

The long-bearded Five Elders nodded slightly and said calmly, "That's how it was done in the past, and it's still the same now."

"Since the three of them agree, there's really no need to say anything more. Just pass the message on to Sengoku."

The blond Five Elders stood quietly, hands in his pockets, and calmly said, "A new brat who's even come into our sights has every reason to be proud."

"Hopefully this kid isn't too weak, or he'll get taken down too easily."

The bald Five Elders, still clutching their treasured swords, said coldly, "How could someone possessing Conqueror's Haki be so easily defeated?"

"It's rare for a promising seed to appear on the high seas; it certainly won't wither away so quickly."

The curly-haired Five Elders waved their hand and said directly, "Since the matter has been settled, there's no need to mention him again."

"He's just a newbie, not worth our time. Let's leave it at that."

Then, the Five Elders dropped the topic of Chris and ignored it.

After all, they've lived for so many years and seen all sorts of people; why would they care about a young brat?

(Hey everyone, the picture above is of the Five Elders. Of all the characters who have appeared since the beginning of the book, these five have the highest power and the greatest influence. They are truly big shots (*￣￣).)

Chapter 161

Five hours later.

Inside the Training Room of the Chris.

"To be honest, I don't know much about the structure and organization of the navy."

Carina, lifting a barbell to Cultivation arm strength, said with a smile, "Who among you knows a lot about this? Could you explain it to me?"

Perona floated through the air, letting out a silvery laugh. "The naval organization is so vast, how could anyone possibly know so much about it?"

"Anyway, all I know are the Three Admirals and the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, hahahahaha..."
