Meanwhile, while the Whitebeard Pirates were in shock, the other Four Emperors also received the news.
Wano Country, on Onigashima.
Inside a castle built within a giant skull, a massive figure is gulping down wine.
Hearing the pirate's report beside him, a ferocious glint flashed across his face, and he burst into unrestrained laughter.
"Haha, King, did you hear that? The Navy's officially announced Fourth Admiral is actually a greenhorn."
"Do you think the Marine Headquarters is short-staffed? Should I lend him some supplies?"
"Brother Kaido, you're right. I could break those skinny arms and legs with one hand," Jack echoed expressionlessly.
Queen, standing to the side, also wore a disdainful, amused smile.
In their eyes, any one of the top-tier combatants who could climb onto the high seas had to go through years of experience, just like them.
Only King, the strategist of the Beasts Pirates, remained silent for a moment before speaking.
" Kaido, I've heard that this brat slew the Golden Lion and obtained his Famous Sword. To become Admiral, he must have some skill!"
" The Marine Headquarters' sudden appointment of a new Marine Admiral means that, in addition to the forces led by the Three Admirals, the Marine Headquarters will have another arm to deal with the changes at sea."
"Then we'll probably have to be much more cautious about our deal with the Joker."
Joker?
Kaido's face darkened instantly, and he crushed the bottle he was gripping in his hand with a crack, saying coldly.
"Hmph, just a mere newcomer, he doesn't even have Golden Lion's corpse. Whether he's dead or not is up to them to say."
"Besides, that guy Shiki has long since degenerated into an old man with senile dementia. He's lost most of his strength. I could kill him with a flick of my wrist!"
"If the Marine Headquarters truly intends to interfere with my deal with the Joker, then don't blame me for being impolite and personally flying to Marine Headquarters to kill him."
"I want to see if this Marine Fourth Admiral will show a look of despair when he faces me."
"Haha, Kaido, you're right! At a time like this, I just want to burst into song!" Queen laughed loudly and quickly got into character.
Jack, standing to the side, had bloodshot eyes, like a wild dog ready to pounce at any moment, instantly giving Jhin a headache.
Kaido is very strong, and he doesn't know if the Marine Headquarters has the ability to keep him here.
However, the thought of Kaido of the Beasts of the Four Emperors, occasionally committing suicide is unbearable.
This Versailles-like approach is undoubtedly a sign of helplessness.
Meanwhile, on an island in the New World, Red-Haired Shanks, was also looking at the newspaper in his hand, his face showing shock.
"Captain Red-Haired, isn't this the brat we ran into in Windmill Village who called himself Luffy's older brother?"
"I never expected that after not seeing him for a while, he would actually become a Marine, and even more surprisingly, rise to the position of Fourth Admiral in such a short time, completely breaking the ironclad rule of the Three Admirals."
"It seems we really misjudged the situation, Captain Red-Haired. Have we bet on the wrong new era...?"
The cacophony of voices caused Red-Haired Shanks to furrow his brow.
He spent a long time searching for a suitable candidate in Windmill Village, and after much inquiry, he finally chose Luffy as the key figure to break the old order.
It's not that Bai Yu and Ace weren't outstanding during the same period.
However, their backgrounds are far inferior to Luffy's.
He was the grandfather of Marine Garp the Hero and the Pops a revolutionary.
This is a relationship that occupies the largest power base in both the black and white worlds.
This is enough to demonstrate Luffy's immense power and the depth of his influence.
It was precisely for this reason that Red-Haired staked the Gum-Gum Fruit, which he had painstakingly stolen from CP9, on Luffy.
However, Bai Yu's rapid changes have somewhat unsettled his strategizing mind.
Whole Cake Island.
Charlotte Linlin looked at the newspaper in her hand and couldn't help but laugh.
That smile sent a chill down the spines of others.
As Charlotte Linlin's children, they knew very well what their mother's smile meant.
"I never expected that the rule of Three Admirals would be broken within the Marine Headquarters, with a fourth young Admiral emerging, possessing such formidable strength at the young age of eighteen."
"His physical condition must be quite good."
" Perospero, find a way to bring him back to me, I want to have his baby!"
The rolling voices echoed within the castle.
If Bai Yu knew that he had been targeted by that Big Mom, he would definitely regret being so arrogant and becoming Marine Admiral just to coast through life.
The news spread like wildfire.
Whether it was the Four Emperors, the Shichibukai, or even the high seas, wherever news kept flowing, the appearance of the Fourth Admiral caused a stir.
For a time, the news of the Fourth Admiral's fame spreading far and wide was repeatedly reported by Big News Morgans for three days.
No one found this kind of front page offensive; on the contrary, they were curious and began to study it.
The morning sunlight, like scattered gold dust, spilled across the Marine Headquarters Plaza.
A shirtless figure, revealing strong muscles, continuously brandished a wooden knife in his hand.
Each time it landed, a gust of wind would rise up over the square.
This drew the attention of the passing naval soldiers.
They were quite familiar with this influential figure before them.
He is hailed as the fourth Admiral to be appointed to the headquarters.
This represents the pinnacle of the Marine Headquarters' combat power.
Three days ago, a battle that seemed to destroy the world shook everyone's nerves and won over the hearts of countless soldiers.
In their eyes, they thought that Marine Admiral like Bai Yu should be like the other three Admiral, appearing only briefly and rarely.
I never expected that basic morning exercises like chopping and swinging would be so accessible and popular in the square.
This diligent attitude undoubtedly moved all the naval soldiers.
Even the Admiral are working hard, how can these lowly soldiers have the nerve to slack off?
For a time, any naval soldiers who happened to be passing by and were not on duty joined in the slashing training.
As time went on, the vast square was occupied by thousands of naval soldiers.
This large-scale training method made even the naval commanders who were spying from the high-ranking positions, and even Sengoku, feel a little excited.
They no longer knew when the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters had conducted drills.
Looking at the Three Admirals, one is a lazybones, one is a slacker, and one is a sullen-faced jerk.
Only Bai Yu seems somewhat normal, with a sunny and ambitious appearance.
Looking at the perfectly synchronized movements and the imposing formation of soldiers, a look of satisfaction gradually appeared on Sengoku's face.
Indeed, the decision to strongly recommend Bai Yu to become the fourth Admiral of the Navy, despite the pressure from the Five Elders, was absolutely correct.
However, Sengoku still had a headache when he thought about the difficult problem posed by the Five Elders.
