New World, Marine Headquarters.
At the top of the largest building is the building that resembles the Tower of Heaven. It is where Marine Fleet Admiral Sakasugi is located and also the highest power center of the entire Marine.
"New Year? We don't have this tradition, so I won't go. I still have to deal with things. Just like this, come to the headquarters to report your work. I haven't seen you for a year."
With that, he put the microphone into the Den Den Mushi.
Crane, who was sitting on the sofa in front, chuckled and said, "New Year… It's quite good and lively."
"You have this tradition?" Sakasugi looked over.
Crane shook his head. "No, but some countries do have this tradition. Most of them are in the West Blue, and there are some in the East Blue. The Country of Peace has this custom. In addition to Kuro's own custom, it will definitely be organized. Didn't he invite a lot of people? At this time, don't ruin their fun."
"I didn't do anything…"
Sakasugi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I will approve the leave."
Crane chuckled. "I'm a 'General' now, I still have to show some respect."
"Humph, he is Marine first."
Sakasugi snorted, but his face softened. "Of course, he did not forget his duty."
The name Divine Treasure Mystic Realm is just to fool the public. The higher-ups know that Kuro is the general of the Country of Peace.
Marines become kings. They never had this precedent. These two kinds of existences are not connected. Unlike pirates, there is a Pirate King on the sea, but no Marine King.
If he becomes king, he should resign from the Marine…
The World Government will not allow a Marine or a King. Joining countries and direct government agencies cannot interfere with each other.
But Kuro's situation is different. He didn't inherit the throne naturally but was carried up by the higher-ups. As for the purpose…
Sakasugi snorted again, and his gentle expression turned back into a hard and smelly face.
Apart from asking for weapons, what else can they do? Where can their Marines exercise their justice?
In contrast, Kuro is much better. Even if he becomes a general or something, he still puts Marine as his priority. He even vigorously develops Marine over there and eliminates pirates. It can be said that he is the model of Marine.
Even if it were him, he wouldn't do better. No, if it were him, he probably wouldn't do this.
The details of the Country of Peace are on his desk. It is estimated that when it is his turn, he has already eliminated all evil, but sometimes this effect is not good.
After becoming a Marshal, many things can't be treated as a general.
"Next year is the World Conference again…"
Crane said faintly: "This time our Marine has handed in a good answer sheet. The era of Yonkō (Four Emperors) is over, but the World Conference next year is probably not that simple."
The Yonkō (Four Emperors) era is over, but there is no peace in the sea. Instead, there are more wars.
Pirates and pirates, islands and islands, kingdoms and kingdoms. Chaos has never stopped, and it has even intensified.
Except for the Battle of Pirates, they can't do anything else. They are the Marines of the World Government, so they naturally won't attack the signatories. But now the chaos in the sea is partly caused by the countries.
In the current situation, Crane could only sigh deeply.
"In the past, we always felt that Dressrosa dealing with the non-Canadian allies of the New World is a good thing for us and we can accept him as a member country. Even if he attacks the member countries and there is no response from the higher-ups, we will not do anything. But now, in West Blue and North Blue, many people are learning from Dressrosa and the war is out of control."
There must be war in the sea. The country where Barret came from was often in war, but that was all localized. But this time, the sea is obviously different. It is too frequent.
The disappearance of some of the pirates seems to have led chaos to the Kingdom…
Crane looked up and sighed. "Is chaos inevitable?"
But according to her experience with the sea, this is not right, but she can't say what is wrong.
The chaos in these countries is not unpredictable. There must be a key thing, but she failed to understand it.
"How can chaos not be avoided? The purpose of our Marine existence is to stop evil and chaos!" Sakasugi's voice was low.
… .
North Blue, an archipelago country near the Calm Belt. This country was still fine some time ago until Vinsmoke approached with the forces of the North Blue Four Nations and completely fell into war.
A battlefield was formed on an island at the front line, where sparks, electric currents, and large stones were constantly flying, causing the soldiers in charge of defense to retreat.
"Sparks: Boomerang!"
As a red-haired man punched the chest of a strong man who was five or six meters tall, sparks exploded on his chest, making the strong man fall to the ground with his eyes rolled back.
"This is the end."
The red-haired man landed on the ground and waved his hand to the side, causing another spark.
This burly man is the commander of the soldiers this time. After killing him, the defense will basically collapse.
"It's about time…"
Judge, who had golden hair and a tall figure, walked over with a spear in his hand and said, "Their defense has completely collapsed. Next, we will directly enter the central capital of this country and our mission will be completed."
"Oh, how boring."
Ezekiel pursed his lips and said, "Father, I heard that the general is inviting people to a party in the Country of Peace. Do we have a chance?"
"Kuro…"
Judge pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Do your work in peace. The king should attend. It's not time for us."
They already knew who they worked for.
King David is there all day long to talk about his master and how his master is. In addition to the Marines, Kaz and Wilbur are Mr. Kuro all day long. They know who this master and this gentleman is.
Of course, he could work for this person.
A few years ago, they had seen that domineering combat power and temperament. Now, he has ended the Yonkō (Four Emperors) era and become a general of the Country of Peace. Most importantly, he is ambitious!
Then there is nothing wrong with working for it.
They can no longer dwell on current technology, and with the support of a huge country, Dressrosa, his own research can be done without fear.
And recently, that bastard Quinn contacted him, which made Judge more comfortable in his research. When two scientists of the same level are put together, the result must be one plus one is bigger than two.
With the research environment, they can also release their ambitions. Apart from not having the ambition to rule North Blue, there is nothing else.
