The atmosphere in the vast square suddenly became oppressive.
Akainu's expression was extremely grim.
He's Marine Admiral; when has he ever been treated like that?
If he hadn't experienced it firsthand, Akainu would never have believed that one day he would be affected by a dilapidated house.
They were immediately labeled as enemies.
However, Akainu is currently too angry to speak out.
Faced with Bai Yu, who had put away the modified training room, he dared not provoke the naval soldiers any further.
If this sparks a massive public outcry, would he, Admiral in the wrong, really be able to one-shot a Meteor Volcano with a single punch?
If he does this, he will likely lose all public support within the Marine Headquarters.
What kind of Fleet Admiral?
Sengoku's expression also changed; he hadn't expected Bai Yu to gain such massive support in just half an hour.
However, as a strategist, he understood one principle very well.
No one will offend the person who creates opportunities for them.
Unless you plan to be a couch potato for the rest of your life.
Otherwise, someone like Bai Yu, who can increase the chances of Awakening Haki.
This should be worshipped.
However, sensing the increasingly heavy and oppressive atmosphere around him, Akainu's face turned ashen and somewhat distorted.
The Sengoku was not to be outdone, and he sighed.
" Bai Yu, Sakazuki didn't mean it just now. The commotion at Marine Headquarters this time was indeed a bit much, so please don't mind it."
"I'm also very curious about your method. How did you increase everyone's chances of Awakening their Haki? Even Zephyr couldn't do that."
"At first, I really had the urge to let you take Zephyr's seat."
In recruit training camp, the Six Powers are the most basic course.
The main difference is that it's much easier to learn than the "Haki" style.
However, Bai Yu seems to be mass-produced now, Awakening a large number of people's Haki.
If this can be applied within the recruit camp, it will be effective over time.
The number of people possessing Haki within the Marine Headquarters will definitely increase dramatically.
Imagine encountering pirates at sea one day; would you simply pull out a whole ship Haki users?
Does this feel good?
It's absolutely awesome!
"Hehe, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, of course I don't blame Admiral Sakazuki."
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly and downed a mouthful of wine.
"Increasing the chance of Haki Awakening is actually a technique I accidentally gained while developing my Devil Fruit ability—a method for guiding potential. The house is simply a combination of my Devil Fruit abilities, made easier for me to control."
"However, the unleashing of my potential just now has consumed a lot of my strength, and I probably won't be able to continue for a while."
"Everyone, I will notify you again next time if you want to Awakening your Haki."
Bai Yu had already thought of this reason from the beginning.
They attributed everything to the mysterious Dark-Dark Fruit.
It's clearly from the Sengoku, and there's nothing to criticize.
"Ah, I was so close to my turn, why won't you let me try to Awakening?"
"If I can Awakening my Haki, I'm sure I'll pass the next sergeant assessment."
"If I could, I would trade ten years of my youth for a chance to Awakening..."
The square erupted in a cacophony of howls and wailing.
However, they dared not disobey Bai Yu's decision.
Although they didn't say it aloud, many people still blamed everything on Akainu.
Sensing the change in atmosphere, Sengoku sighed helplessly and waved his hand.
"Alright, everyone disperse. I know you're all resentful, but Admiral Bai Yu has already exhausted his Devil Fruit power, and he still has a mission to go on, so please let him recover a bit."
"Don't forget, he's the fourth Admiral in the Marine Headquarters. Your turn to Awakening Haki will come eventually."
"Next, I will organize a special team to register you and proceed with the Awakening process in order. As long as you can sense the Qi, you will all have a chance."
"However, I must warn you, if you linger here and delay your respective missions, you will be deprived of your chance to Awakening!"
The rolling voices carried an air of unquestionable certainty.
The 30,000 naval soldiers who had gathered in the square were stunned for a moment, but quickly dispersed.
Those who successfully Awakening their Haki gave Bai Yu a grateful look and then left.
For a moment, only Bai Yu and his group remained in the square.
Seeing the Sengoku clear the area in an instant, Bai Yu raised an eyebrow.
This strategist from the Sengoku is indeed no ordinary person; he resolved a public relations crisis with just a few words.
" Bai Yu, you don't mind if I make the decision for you, do you?"
Sengoku chuckled dryly.
Having experienced so much, especially witnessing Bai Yu's methods for increasing the chances of Awakening Haki.
He dared not underestimate the young man before him.
"Heh, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, if you truly feel apologetic, I'd much rather you and I have a battle!"
Bai Yu gulped down a mouthful of liquor and gave a bloodthirsty smile.
Sengoku's expression froze.
Is this someone who even wants to behead Fleet Admiral?
This is absolutely terrifying.
"Ahem, you brat, let's talk about fighting later."
Sengoku coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.
"The main reason I've come to you this time is to tell you that the Five Elders have accepted your nomination to become the Fourth Admiral."
"However, they require you to have sufficient military merits to secure this position."
"This is your mission this time."
Sengoku handed over the mission documents that he had already prepared.
Bai Yu had already anticipated that the position of the Fourth Admiral would not be easy to hold, and he raised an eyebrow as he looked at the tasks on the document.
"Heading to Alabasta to collect the Heavenly Tribute?"
Heavenly Tribute is the protection fee that Affiliated Nation of the world pay to the World Government every year, in accordance with regulations.
Alabasta was once a superpower among the twenty-one Celestial Dragons.
They originally had the qualifications to become Celestial Dragons.
Unfortunately, the First king made a rash decision and gave up.
Now, the Five Elders have suddenly sent him to Alabasta to collect protection money.
This task is probably not as simple as it seems.
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, let's not talk about these empty words. This mission is probably not as simple as it seems, is it?" Bai Yu said with a playful smile.
"Hehe, I knew it all along. You little rascal, you noticed the key point so quickly." Sengoku smiled with satisfaction.
Finally, we've encountered a reasonably competent Admiral.
No!
It should be said that, aside from his fondness for fighting and killing,
They're quite quick-witted.
" Alabasta, located in the first half of the Grand Line, is considered a superpower, and the delivery of Heavenly Tribute has always been quite normal," Sengoku said again.
"However, in the last five or six years, Alabasta has been plagued by severe drought, leading to ongoing internal turmoil, making it extremely difficult to attract Heavenly Tribute."
"Moreover, every time we manage to gather enough, it gets stolen halfway through, so this time we plan to have you personally go and bring the Heavenly Tribute back."
