After the Marine Grand Fleet exited Naval Headquarters, it returned directly to the first half of the Grand Line at the fastest speed.
At the same time, the Holy Land Mariejois was informed of the total collapse of the Naval Headquarters.
New Marshal Akainu and Buddha Sengoku were killed, plus Kizaru, who was beheaded by Keynes before the war.
Marine's highest combat power suddenly fell to the three of them.
If you add the tens of thousands of Marine soldiers killed in the war, Marine's strength suddenly weakens to the extreme.
Not even before the World Conscription.
The total fall of the New World was unstoppable, and Marine's power and majesty was at a minimum.
If he didn't come up with a solution in time, Marine couldn't even suppress the first half of the Grand Line.
Such a serious situation can be said to be rare for hundreds of years.
The existence of Keynes has directly threatened the reign of world conquest.
The Five Elders almost thought they were dreaming when they got the news.
The mighty Naval Headquarters has suffered such heavy losses.
Admiral Kizaru was killed, Marshals Akainu and Sengoku fell, and Marine hero Garp was seriously wounded and lost half his life.
The Marine elite suffered heavy losses, and most of the main force was also lost.
Never since the inception of World Conquest has Marine faced such a gaffe.
"What on earth does Marine eat? Why does this happen?"
Inside the huge palace of Mariejois, the Five Elders are furious.
"The dignified Naval Headquarters was beaten like this by a mere brat. Has Marine fallen to such a state?"
"Damn Keynes, who dared to do such a thing, why didn't he kill him in the first place?!!"
"Sakazuki, that incompetent idiot, thought that making him a marshal would completely defeat the pirates, but such a thing happened in less than a year."
"Isn't that how Marine is giving back his support for world conquest without even being a kid?"
A roar sounded, representing the Five Elders who conquered the highest power in the world, all with grim expressions and murderous aura.
A Marine Rear Admiral, who was in charge of delivering the message, knelt on the ground, shivering, and sweating profusely.
"Now is not the time to blame, or to take responsibility!!!"
A low voice suddenly sounded.
The person who spoke was Kong, the former Marshal of Marine, who is currently the Commander-in-Chief of the World Conqueror Army, with a very high status, second only to the Five Elders.
"I don't think Sakazuki is incompetent, on the contrary, as Marshal Marine, he has always been serious and responsible.
Kong said in a deep voice: "This time, Sakazuki, as Marshal Marine, fought with Keynes to the last moment and paid the price with his life."
"What he did was worthy of Marshal Marine, and even more worthy of world conquest.
"And Sengoku, who was also killed by Keynes, gave his life and life for Marine, and they should all be respected."
"The priority now is not to hold anyone accountable, but to re-establish Marine's majesty.
"Several days have passed since the end of the war, and the news of the defeat of Naval Headquarters must have spread in the New World at this moment, and it will soon spread to the first half of the New World and the four seas.
"At that time, the pirates in various places will become more violent and cruel, and the revolutionary army who has been hiding in the dark will also take this opportunity to shoot.
At present, "Marine's strength is weak, and if there is no effective means, it is likely to completely lose control of the sea.
After Kong finished speaking, the huge palace fell into a dead silence.
The angry Five Elders also suppressed the anger in their hearts and opened Shikai to resolve the top priority.
"Do you have any idea?"
Sword-wielding Five Elders asked.
"There is no other way but to carry out the world conscription again to replenish the troops lost in the war."
Kong said.
"And what about the position of Marshal Marine? Who should take over?"
The bald Five Elders asked key questions.
The current Marshal Marine and the former Marshal Marine were killed at the same time, and Marine could not find a suitable replacement in a short time.
In general, the post of Marshal Marine is usually taken over by Marine Admiral.
After Sengoku retired from office, Akainu, Kizaru, and Qingzhi all had enough achievements to take over the post of Marine Marshal.
At first, Kizaru was not interested in the position of marshal, so there were two candidates, Akainu and Qingzhi.
However, now, Akainu and Kizaru were killed at the same time, and Fujitora and Admiral are new additions, and they have not accumulated much actual results.
It would be a rule-breaker to promote them as Marine Admiral, and it would be impossible to choose a marshal from the two of them.
If Sengoku is not dead, you can ask Sengoku to come back.
With his seniority and prestige, there would be no problem taking over as Marshal Marine.
It's just a pity that Sengoku also perished in this war.
"Go get Kuzan back, he's the perfect fit."
Kong said in a deep voice.
"Kuzan? What nonsense are you talking about?"
The blond Five Elders were instantly furious.
"Don't you know? Kuzan has taken refuge with Keynes, how can he still take over as Marshal Marine?"
"Keynes is the culprit behind this critical situation, and now you're looking for Kuzan, who had taken refuge with Keynes, to come back? Is your brain broken?"
The sword-wielding Five Elders were also furious.
"I don't think Kuzan is really going to be with Keynes, and even if he quit Marine, there's still justice in his heart."
Kong said solemnly: "This time the Keynes invaded Naval Headquarters, Kuzan did not appear on the battlefield, which is the best proof.
"If Kuzan can be retrieved, Marine will not only have a suitable candidate to take over as Marshal Marine, but also retrieve a supreme combat power!"
As if persuaded by Kong, the angry Five Elders immediately suppressed the anger in their hearts.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the palace, and a Marine Rear Admiral hurried over and knelt down in front of the Five Elders.
"Qingxiong, Aokiji Admiral is back, and he has brought back Marshal Sengoku!!
Rear Admiral's words instantly made Five Elders and Kong change color.
"Aokiji? Sengoku!!"
"Isn't Sengoku dead?
"Where are they now?"
Shocked by the momentum of the six men, Marine Rear Admiral panicked for a while, and hurried to report.
"No, no, Marshal Sengoku is indeed dead, what Admiral brought back is Marshal Sengoku's body, just below the port."
" Immediately take me there !!"
Kong let out a low roar, and after leaving the palace, he immediately rushed towards Hong Kong.
By the time he took the cable car to Hong Kong, countless Marines had gathered here.
Admiral Fujitora and Crane Vice Admiral are at the forefront, as well as Marine Vice Admiral such as Momousagi and Chado.
All eyes were on the huge ice block in front of them.
Former Marine Marshal Sengoku, was frozen in ice, and Aokiji was not here.
"Where's Kuzan? Where is Kuzan?"
Kong asked in a low voice.
Although no one was seen, there would be no one but Aokiji who would bring Sengoku's body back in ice.
"None of us saw Aokiji Admiral show up, it was already when Marshal Sengoku was found fit."
A Marine Vice Admiral responded.
Many Marines looked at the sea in front of them, and saw a trail of ice on the sea.
There are various signs that Qingxiong must have come, but he left immediately after leaving his body.
Everyone knew what Aokiji meant, and he didn't plan to go back to Marine.
Kong's heart also sank.
This means that it is impossible for him to find Qingxiong to come back to take over as Marshal Marine.
"Take Sengoku back."
Kong touched the surface of the ice cube, his expression was sad, and there were tears in his eyes.
"Old friend, you're home."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Marines burst into tears.
Some of the resolute Marine Vice Admiral, while still stern-faced, were also in tears.
