"The relic used as a stepping stone?"
The Sengoku was stunned.
No!
It should be said that everyone present was stunned.
Faced with this nonchalant remark, everyone's attention was focused on the words "relics."
Does this mean that the legendary pirate, Golden Lion Shiki, has been killed?
" Bai Yu, I have a serious question for you: Is Golden Lion Shiki dead?"
Sengoku took a deep breath and spoke with utmost solemnity.
Everyone's nerves were on edge, and a hint of urgency appeared on their faces.
Even Akainu and Kizaru did not choose to leave immediately.
"Finally, he even pulled the rudder off his head, I think."
Bai Yu nonchalantly took a swig of strong liquor.
"However, he is indeed the most worthwhile opponent to defeat in the East Blue, it's just a pity he's not at his peak, it's a bit of a waste."
The soft voices, at this moment, seemed to be infused with a demonic sound, echoing on the dock and lingering for a long time.
Everyone present was stunned by Bai Yu's regretful expression.
Even more surprisingly, some couldn't help but swallow hard.
According to Bai Yu, he not only killed the legendary Golden Lion Shiki.
Even now, Golden Lion Shiki is being disliked.
I think it's a bit too weak.
Is this insane?
No!
They've gone mad.
"Haha, Akainu, did you hear that? My grandson not only escaped from Golden Lion's clutches, but I also finished him off."
Garp burst out laughing.
"Even the Golden Lion is no match for him, so I think his position as Admiral Candidate is secure."
" Sengoku, you should consider making Bai Yu a Admiral or something."
"I think he should have enough strength now."
"An eighteen-year-old Marine Admiral? That's the youngest admiral in the history of this department."
A series of words that shook everyone's hearts.
The expression on Sengoku's face also changed drastically.
Garp's proposal seems absolutely insane.
However, Bai Yu's ability to single-handedly defeat Golden Lion Shiki is indeed undeniable.
Twenty-five years ago, he and Garp teamed up to send Golden Lion Shiki to Impel Down Great Prison.
No matter how much Golden Lion Shiki's strength weakens in twenty-five years.
The Sengoku was well aware that that battle was definitely not simple.
Bai Yu was able to achieve this level of success all by himself.
That says it all.
" Vice Admiral Garp, you intend to appoint this brat as Marine Admiral based solely on your own words and two swords? Isn't that a bit too frivolous?"
Akainu spoke coldly.
"If this gets out, and it turns out to be just a lie, and Golden Lion Shiki is still alive and well, where will our Marine Headquarters ' reputation be?"
"Besides, don't forget this brat. Today is only his first day at Marine Headquarters. We don't even know his background or whether he has any sense of justice."
As a proponent of war, Akainu has always coveted the position of Fleet Admiral.
He even regarded himself as the head of the Three Admirals.
The fact that an outsider was parachuted in as Marine Admiral Candidate had already displeased Akainu.
Now he has been promoted directly to the rank of Admiral, becoming the youngest Marine Admiral in the history of the Marine Headquarters.
Doesn't this completely outshine him?
How will he compete for the position of Fleet Admiral in the future?
" Akainu, are you deliberately making things difficult for my grandson?"
Garp the Roar in fury.
"You should know very well what a Famous Sword Swordmaster."
"These Oto and Kogarashi are the lifeblood of the Golden Lion. Now that they've fallen into the hands of my grandson, that speaks volumes about his fate."
"Besides, Golden Lion is a complete madman. If he hadn't died, would Bai Yu have been able to come back alive?"
"Even with the Famous Sword stolen, he's still alive and has already come knocking on our door."
"Furthermore, you just said that my grandson, whom I personally raised, has questionable backgrounds. What do you mean by that, Akainu? If you don't give me an explanation today, I will absolutely not let you leave."
Boom!
The immense momentum, like a hurricane, was unleashed once again.
The faces of the naval officers and soldiers present turned pale instantly.
Garp usually gives off a cheerful and forgetful vibe.
Today, he flew into a rage and exploded twice in just over ten minutes.
This is enough to show that Admiral Akainu has repeatedly crossed his bottom line.
Akainu's expression also darkened immediately.
He was, after all, Marine Admiral.
Now, not only is he wielding the aura of Admiral, but he is also being threatened by Bai Yu and his Admiral's prestige is being directly challenged by Garp.
This situation made him lose face.
"Enough! Do you two intend to become a laughing stock at headquarters?"
"Warring Sengoku!" The Roar fury.
"I will have someone investigate the news of Golden Lion's death."
"However, with both Oto and Kogarashi's swords in Bai Yu's hands, and knowing Golden Lion's character as I do, he's probably in grave danger as well."
"As for Bai Yu's next position, that's something he should decide himself, and then we'll review it. It can only be implemented if the headquarters receives 70% of the votes."
"It's not something you can decide with just a few words."
Everyone present fell silent instantly.
If these three giants get angry, they could easily get burned themselves.
Many people also took a few steps back, trying their best to distance themselves from the situation.
However, faced with this predicament, many people still subconsciously looked at Bai Yu.
I'm eager to know what this guy with such a fierce background is thinking.
Seeing that the oppressive atmosphere in the arena had dissipated slightly, Sengoku finally composed himself, sighed softly, and said...
" Bai Yu, don't take what happened earlier to heart. The Marine Headquarters is a huge organization, and disagreements happen from time to time."
"However, I'd like to know what your own thoughts are."
Not long ago, Sengoku received a report from Garp on the Den Den Mushi. Sengoku never expected that one day, Bai Yu would be recommended for the position of Marine Admiral Candidate.
Now, even more unexpectedly, the Golden Lion fell into Bai Yu's hands, and even possessed the qualifications to become a Admiral.
This leap in ability completely exceeded his expectations.
It was for this reason that the Sengoku period took the ideas of a newcomer so seriously.
What position?
Bai Yu casually took a swig of his drink.
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I'd like to know which position offers the most freedom and the least workload, and is the easiest. If such a position exists, I think it would be most suitable for me."
Scoundrel!
Is this person just here to loaf around?
Many people instinctively looked at Garp.
Indeed, like grandfather, like grandson.
Looking across the Marine Headquarters, the biggest slacker is probably Garp, who, despite holding the title of Marine Hero, is just messing around in his Vice Admiral position.
