The office fell into a deathly silence.
Looking at Ailan had completely disappeared without a trace.
Sengoku and the others felt like they couldn't catch their breath.
They had all studied the Haki, and Zephyr, as a former Marine Admiral, even incorporated his experience into the curriculum of the Marine Headquarters' recruit training camp.
However, in all these years, this has never caused such a commotion!
Thirty thousand naval soldiers gathered in the small square.
In the original story, the Summit War was fought to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.
Despite large-scale conscription in various branches of the New World, only 100,000 soldiers were assembled.
The number of naval soldiers normally stationed at headquarters is conservatively estimated to be no more than 40,000.
Now that 30,000 people have been gathered at once, hasn't this almost emptied out the headquarters?
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little tense.
Sengoku glanced out the window; the surging crowd was enough to make his scalp tingle.
" Sengoku, if you want to see it, then go ahead," Garp said, popping a senbei into his mouth and laughing.
Sengoku glared at him and shouted angrily, "I don't believe you're not curious!"
"Haha, of course I'm curious, that's my grandson!"
Garp laughed loudly and charged straight out.
Sengoku nearly ground his teeth to powder, but faced with the matter of the collective Awakening of Haki, he still couldn't resist and quickly followed them out.
"I'll go take a look too, do you want to come along?" Crane glanced around and left as well.
Aokiji and Kizaru, two characters who were just coasting along, were clearly also curious about what was going on, and silently followed.
Only Akainu, his face ashen, struggled for a good half minute before finally following him out with a grim expression and gritted teeth.
Along the way, 30,000 naval soldiers crowded into the small square, making it impossible to move.
Faced with the opportunity to Awakening their Haki, everyone immediately pointed their heads and frantically pushed their way into the crowd.
For most naval soldiers, this was not just an opportunity to try, but a crucial turning point in their lives.
If one were to accidentally Awakening Haki, it might not stand out much in the New World.
But in Four Blues, or even in the first half of the Grand Line, they could stand alone.
On the treacherous seas, it also provides an extra layer of self-protection.
"Get out of my way! I've been stuck in the stage of refining my Qi perception for two years now. I'm sure I'll succeed."
"Pah! There are people here who say they're stuck in the Qi Sensing stage for ten years. You should just stand aside for the next two years!"
"Tch, I've been doing this for fifteen years. Even if the Fleet Admiral came today, I wouldn't give him any face!"
"..."
The scene immediately erupted in excitement.
Watching those figures frantically pushing and shoving towards the center.
Sengoku's face darkened instantly.
"Haha, even the Fleet Admiral Sengoku won't allow it?"
Garp laughed loudly, and the naval soldiers who had been cursing and swearing suddenly fell silent.
They said that, but their bodies behaved quite well, instinctively stepping aside.
Garp didn't hesitate either, quickly weaving through the crowd with Sengoku in tow.
However, the deeper they went through the crowd, the more shocked they became.
In just a few minutes, they had seen many junior officers, and even some outstanding non-commissioned officers, Awakening their Haki.
Upon arriving at the house in the center, Crane, standing nearby, spoke with a solemn expression.
" In the Sengoku, I just roughly estimated that about ninety-two people Awakening their Haki."
"If we were to take a closer look, this number would likely be even higher."
Scroll up?
Sengoku's expression changed slightly, and he became somewhat out of control upon receiving this answer.
"I remember last year, the Marine Headquarters counted only about 180 new people who had learned Haki."
"Tell me now, that brat Bai Yu, in just half an hour, has achieved what our navy has painstakingly trained for a year."
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Sengoku couldn't help but look at the crane.
The crane shook its head, then quickly nodded.
The Sengoku had no idea what all of this meant.
However, looking at the small house that had appeared in the square at some unknown time...
The hundreds of people standing nearby all simultaneously unleashed weak Armament Haki.
The scene was magnificent and truly breathtaking.
Because, on the registration list, these were all unfamiliar faces.
Besides some newly promoted non-commissioned officers, there were also some outstanding recruits.
They are all displaying Haki now, which is enough to show that they can gather 30,000 people here.
Increasing the probability of Awakening Haki is probably no joke.
"You bastards, who allowed you to gather here? This is Marine Headquarters, do you have any manners?"
Akainu's face was extremely gloomy. Just a moment ago in the office, he was still doubting Bai Yu's ability to unite people.
However, as they ventured deeper into the small square, they saw that many of their own subordinates were also gathered there, waiting for their Haki to Awakening.
Or perhaps it has already Awakening its Haki.
This undoubtedly made Akainu lose face.
He knew perfectly well that if things were left to develop this way...
Bai Yu will become a stumbling block for him to become Fleet Admiral.
"It's Admiral Sakazuki. It seems your injury is almost fully healed. Let's have another match sometime."
Bai Yu gulped down a mouthful of liquor, gave a bloodthirsty smile, and then put away the Magically Modified Training House.
This scene immediately startled the navy personnel present.
The scene quickly erupted into chaos.
" Admiral Bai Yu, why did you put the training room away? We'd like to try it out too."
" Admiral Bai Yu, we've been waiting in line for a long time..."
" Admiral Bai Yu, no matter what happens, we support you..."
The cacophony of voices instantly stirred up a lively atmosphere in the small square.
If the people who initially gathered here were simply gossiping...
However, after witnessing the Miracle firsthand...
They gathered here, waiting for hope.
In particular, seeing so many people succeed one by one speaks of the wonder and magic of the training room.
In just a few minutes, he Awakening the domineering Haki that he had been trying to figure out for years.
At this moment, everyone's heart was burning, and even their blood was boiling.
Everyone else can do it, but nobody wants to believe they can't.
At least, no one will easily give up this opportunity before trying it.
Akainu's shout interrupted their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
This scene immediately drew murderous glares from all the naval soldiers.
At this moment, even the Sengoku dared to issue insurance policies.
The entire navy wants to kill Akainu!
