Chapter 292 The Navy Is Divided, Zefa Goes Crazy

"Ace.

Seeing Ace faint again, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"Don't worry, I just fainted from exhaustion. I will wake up after a few days of training."

Aoun waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big problem.

Marco, who was the ship's doctor, carefully walked up and listened to Ace's heart rate, and then nodded to indicate that Ornn was right.

"Thank you so much Orn. ​​You couldn't help but bring dad's body back, and you are also willing to help Ace get out of the shadows. Without you, we really don't know what we would do."

"It's just a piece of cake." Aoun didn't realize that he actually enjoyed torturing Ace, so he just waved his hand very generously.

Seeing his appearance, Marco respected him more and more, and at the same time once again mentioned his father's instructions before his death:

"My father said personally before he died that more than half of all the territory under the Whitebeard Pirates can be handed over to you."

Speaking of this, Marco took out a nautical chart from his arms and said solemnly:

"This is the map of the territory that the Whitebeard Pirates currently occupy in the New World that I compiled during the past period. Except for Dad's hometown of Sphinx Island, you can choose from other places. We Absolutely nothing."

"Hey, Marco..."

Upon hearing that Marco was so generous, someone in the white group couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

Dad only said at that time that he would give half of the territory to Orn, but he did not say that he would let Orn choose...

"Shut up!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Marco interrupted him sharply:

"Do you want dad's reputation to be shamed? Orn not only saved our lives, but also brought dad's body back to help Ace get out of the shadows.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this kind of kindness is rekindled by kindness. Why do you still want to cheat on your benefactor like this?

Besides, how can you defend those territories without dad's protection? You really think Kaido and Big Mom are vegetarians! "

As soon as these words came out, a small group of people who had complained before immediately fell silent.

As for Aoun, he did not refuse because of Marco's generosity.

He did owe Whitebeard a big favor, but he had already paid it back in the war. The next territory and so on were all his rewards, so he naturally had no reason to be polite.

Therefore, Aoun did not hesitate. After staring at the map for a long time, he directly tore the map in half from almost the middle.

Handing the part of the chart with Sphinx Island to Marco and holding the half with Fishman Island in his hand, the so-called territory division was completed simply and crudely.

Seeing him like this, Marco couldn't help laughing:

"Refreshing! I, Marco, appreciate sea men like you the most. If the Orn Pirates need anything from our Whitebeard Pirates in the future, just ask. If our Whitebeard Pirates dare to say no, then I’m sorry for my father’s spirit in heaven!”

After a banquet, the Whitebeard Pirates quickly left, and Fishman Island hoisted the flag of the Orn Pirates, becoming the first territory protected by the Orn Pirates.

Because he had just taken over Fish-Man Island, Aoun stayed on Fish-Man Island for a few more days, and by the way developed a relationship with Shirahoshi, the King of the Sea.

A few days later, the Orn Pirates left Fish-Man Island and officially returned to the New World.

…………

On the same day that the Orn Pirates returned to the New World, the Navy held a grand ceremony in Marinevando to commemorate the fallen navy.

During the ceremony, the navy members, dressed in military uniforms with white flowers on their chests, went to the central square to listen to the commemorative speech of the Warring States Marshal, rang the Oaks bell and laid flowers one by one in front of the newly erected monument.

During this process, reporters were taking photos and writing press releases throughout the process. This was a public announcement to the families of the fallen all over the world, and there was no room for error.

After some solemn commemorative activities, Marshal Warring States took the stage again, and finally expressed his condolences on behalf of the entire navy, and announced the news that he was about to step down from the post of marshal of the navy and become the chief inspector of the navy.

There has never been such a position in the Navy's previous organizational structure, so anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is nothing more than a temporary installation without real power that the World Government still covets Sengoku's influence in the Navy.

I just want to hang the Warring States Period there like a memorial tablet to reassure all navies.

After the memorial ceremony, "Who among the three generals will succeed the Navy Admiral?" immediately became the most talked about topic inside and outside the Navy. Its attention even temporarily surpassed the top war journal of the World Economic News, which was serialized.

The three generals within the navy are naturally not ignorant of external public opinion.

Among the three, Kizaru was the calmest, and even took the initiative to express within the navy and the media that he had no intention of getting involved in the battle for the navy marshal.

This approach is obviously just for self-protection, but the consequences are quite bad.

As soon as Kizaru announced his withdrawal from the marshal battle, the originally confusing situation suddenly became clear.

When everyone realized that the new navy marshal would soon be born between Akainu and Aokiji, the factional struggle between the hawks and the doves also intensified, and even the entire navy was forced to take sides.

The fanatical fans of Akainu and Aokiji even fought to prove who was more suitable to succeed the Navy Admiral.

The undecided position of the marshal was obviously not conducive to the unity within the navy, so on the fifth day after Zhan Guo announced his resignation as the marshal of the navy, a CP0 agent came to the navy headquarters with a handwritten letter and a letter of appointment from the Five Elders.

The high-level meeting was held again.

At the meeting, Zhan Guo, who had resigned as the marshal, had to stand on the podium again.

After a short speech, Zhan Guo gave the podium to the CP0 agent who had been standing behind him.

Under the gaze of countless high-ranking naval officials, the CP0 walked to the loudspeaker Den Den Mushi in sweat.

Knock knock knock...

After tapping the microphone in front of him twice, which brought a harsh electric sound, the CP0 coughed twice, and then opened the pure white envelope sealed with wax in public.

"After discussion and decision by the Five Elder Stars, Admiral Sakaski, one of the three current admirals of the Navy, is hereby appointed to the position of Admiral of the Navy Headquarters..."

Wow~

As soon as these words came out, the high-ranking naval officers present were instantly in an uproar.

The high-ranking hawks, led by Akainu, hugged and cheered, and the atmosphere was as lively as the New Year.

On the other hand, the high-ranking doves, led by Aokiji, were talking to each other with cold faces, and occasionally glanced at the high-ranking hawks who cheered loudly, their eyes full of dissatisfaction and contempt.

But, even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, what could they do? The World Government had already issued a mandatory order, could they still resist it together?

"Quiet!"

Seeing that the situation was really outrageous, Sengoku couldn't help but come forward to control it.

After the voices below gradually quieted down, Zhan Guo signaled the CP0 to go down, and then said:

"Then please invite the new Navy Admiral to come on stage to express his feelings..."

"Why should the people of the World Government decide the ownership of the Navy Admiral!"

Before Zhan Guo finished speaking, an old voice interrupted him.

"What?"

Zhan Guo's eyes were dull for a moment, and his eyes wandered around the entire auditorium, as if he wanted to find out who was so bold.

In fact, he had judged the identity of the person who came the moment the voice sounded, he just couldn't believe it.

I couldn't believe that my old friend had returned to Marinford from the New World, and I couldn't believe that he, who always focused on the overall situation, would do such an irrational thing at this time.

Clang!

The door of the auditorium was pushed open, and in the golden sunlight, a somewhat old figure walked slowly into the auditorium surrounded by a group of people:

"I say... Why should the people of the World Government decide who the Navy Admiral belongs to?"

"Old... Teacher!?"

When they saw the figure clearly, nearly half of the high-ranking officers of the Navy stood up unconsciously and exclaimed in disbelief.

The faces of Sengoku and Akainu were extremely ugly at this time:

"Zefa, if you have any opinions, please keep them to yourself... Is this the time to say these words!"

"Sengoku, don't you understand yet?"

Zefa slowly took off his sunglasses and said calmly and firmly:

"Some things can only be said at this time. If you don't make it clear at this time, there will be no chance again."

At this point, he suddenly raised his voice, looked at his students present, and suddenly said loudly:

"Tell me, my students, are you a navy fighting for the people and justice, or a navy fighting for the will of the world government."

Zefa's words made the senior navy officials in the entire auditorium lose their minds for a moment.

Pah~

Vice Admiral Tsuru slapped his forehead in pain, and his eyebrows were completely twisted into a river.

Speaking of such heart-breaking remarks right at the beginning, their old friend really didn't want to leave any way out for himself.

I never expected that it would happen at this most critical moment...

"Wuhahaha..." Garp on the side couldn't help but burst into laughter, and tears flowed down his face.

He never expected that the protagonist today would be this old friend who was completely beyond his expectations.

Just as the two people's reactions were different, someone had already responded to Zefa's question:

"I fight for the justice in my heart!"

The speaker was Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan, who was always considered a good man and a vice admiral who couldn't do anything, but now he stood up unexpectedly.

As soon as Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan finished speaking, several people stood up and made their own voices.

They all have one thing in common, that is, they are all students who respect Zefa very much.

Perhaps it was because of Zefa's fame and leadership, or perhaps they didn't want to suppress themselves, most of the doves stood up and expressed their dissatisfaction with the world government's designation of the Navy Marshal.

Looking back at the Navy's past designated Navy Marshals, all of them were recognized by the entire Navy before being recognized as Navy Marshals by the World Government.

But now, the World Government actually made a decision on behalf of the entire navy when the Navy Admiral was still undecided, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many navy members.

If it weren't for Zefa, they might not have expressed their thoughts.

But now that Zefa, the mentor, took the lead, the whole situation was immediately different.

On the other hand, the CP0 agent actually added fuel to the fire at a critical moment.

I don't know if he is used to licking the Five Elders, or if he is completely unaware of Zefa's value in the hearts of the navy, and he actually said something inexplicably:

"The World Government provides military expenses for the navy, and of course it has the right to decide the job arrangements of all navy personnel,

In addition, Pirate Guerrilla Captain Zefa, the World Government approved your retirement application two years ago. Now you are not even a regular navy, what qualifications do you have to make decisions on behalf of the navy? "

As soon as these words came out, it really caused a thousand waves.

Even Sengoku wanted to slap this guy to death. The situation was already extremely chaotic, and now this guy has caused such a thing. This time, there is really no way to end peacefully today.

Sure enough, many high-ranking navy officers who did not know the inside story immediately exploded.

"What? Teacher Zefa is no longer a navy? Are you kidding?"

"If a chief instructor who has taught more than 70% of the middle-level navy cadres cannot be considered a member of the navy, then who else in the world dares to claim to be a legitimate navy?"

"Zef, don't. "Zengoku looked at Zephyr, and there was even a pleading look in his eyes. He really didn't want to see the navy develop to the point of complete division because of this dispute.

But Zephyr ignored Zhan Guo's eyes, took a deep breath and said:

"I did submit my resignation to the World Government, but why did I do that? Don't you, the running dogs of the World Government, know?"

He had just finished speaking when Shuzo and Ain beside him made an excuse:

"Teacher Zephyr applied to the New World to fight pirates many times but was not allowed, so he was forced to leave the Navy to uphold justice in his heart!"

"I think the fact that our pirate guerrillas have been established in the New World for two years and have not been cleared by pirates is enough to prove one thing.

That is, even if the Navy does not accept military funds from the World Government, it can still uphold justice! "

As soon as these words came out, the whole auditorium was in an uproar again.

As a navy, if you are not allowed to fulfill your justice, then what is the point of being a navy?

"I have long wanted to enter the New World to fight evil. If I can go to the New World to fight evil without being a navy, then I would rather not wear this navy cloak!"

As he spoke, a rear admiral threw the navy cloak behind him to the ground.

"Me too, my parents and family all died at the hands of pirates, but when I wanted to seek revenge on them, I was told that those pirates had already hidden in the New World, and our navy was alone in the New World and could not go to arrest them. It was simply a huge joke. "

"If the navy controlled by the World Government will always compromise and always maintain the status quo, then it is better not to be a navy! "

Akainu's chest was also rising and falling violently at this time. He was clearly the one who wanted to enter the New World and fight evil the most among all the navy.

But now, because of the appointment of the World Government, he seemed to be a lackey who only wanted to serve the World Government and live a miserable life. This is really unreasonable!

And in this noisy sound, another tall and thin figure stood up and said in a lazy and firm voice:

"I, Kuzan, do not agree with the World Government's appointment regulations for the Navy Marshal. "
