In the navy, there are two ways to be promoted to general.
The first is that when there are vacancies in the seats of the three generals of the headquarters, they can directly take office after being proposed by the Admiral of the Navy and approved by the World Government.
Karp refused many times that year.
The second is to apply for a promotion battle at the cost of 200,000 military merits when the general seats in the headquarters are full, and choose a general to challenge. After defeating the general, you can be promoted to general!
Since this world is a world where the strong are respected, whoever is stronger is more qualified to hold the position of general, so there are rules such as promotion battles.
but.
The number of promotion battles in history is also very rare. The strength of any person who can serve as a naval admiral stands at the top level of the sea. It is so difficult to defeat one of them!
Another point is that this promotion battle is also a cruel survival of the fittest. No matter which side loses, even if they can continue to stay in the navy, they will lose face and become a topic of chat after tea.
"Are you serious?!"
Warring States looked at Roja in front of him. After taking a deep breath, his expression became extremely serious and he spoke in a deep voice to Roja.
Even he, the navy marshal, had to take this kind of thing seriously!
This is no child's play!
Roja looked at Warring States calmly, without any intention of joking, and said: "The application documents will be submitted later."
After saying this, Roja turned around and left the office.
Warring States watched Roja leave, his expression changed several times. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. Finally, he could only take a deep breath, return to his seat, sit down, and take out the phone bug.
…
The Grand Line, the New World.
Admiral Aokiji was riding a bicycle on the sea. Wherever the wheels of the bicycle rolled, the sea water was frozen into ice.
Puff, puff, puff!
Suddenly, a phone bug sounded on Qing Zhi's body. He stopped and took out the phone bug in his pocket.
"Hey, I'm Kuzan..."
Aoki answered the call.
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said a few words.
Click! !
Just these few words made Qingzhi look shocked for a moment, and he almost couldn't control his power. The sea with a radius of one kilometer under his feet was completely frozen into ice in an instant!
After hanging up the phone, Qingzhi exhaled a breath of cold air and murmured in a deep voice: "Sure enough... I'm still going to give birth."
Qingzhi is very familiar with Luo Ya, and he also knows Luo Ya relatively well. He had predicted a long time ago that Luo Ya might apply for the general promotion competition, but he did not expect that this day would come so soon.
After taking a deep breath.
Aokiji pedaled his bicycle again and quickly returned to the Navy Headquarters.
At this time, in the Navy Headquarters, in a room with a plaque of 'Ambiguous Justice', General Kizaru was sitting there, and he had also received the notice.
"He's really back with murderous intent, and he's actually applying for a promotion battle. It's so scary..."
Although Kizaru is very confident in his own strength, he is also afraid of a monster like Roja. If Roja chooses him in the promotion competition, it will be very troublesome.
Now that Akainu was chosen, Kizaru felt a little gloating about his misfortune.
"How many years ago was the last promotion battle? It seems to have been more than thirty years ago. I was still a young boy at that time..."
Kizaru sat there with his legs crossed, recalling what happened many years ago.
During Garp's term in the Warring States Period, there was no promotion battle. At that time, Cyborg Sora was the marshal of the headquarters, and Warring States and Zefa were generals. The last general position was always reserved for Garp, but Garp refused to be promoted many times.
With Garp around, no lieutenant general thought he was more qualified to serve as a general, so one of the three general positions remained vacant until Zefa retired and Sengoku became marshal, and their three generals succeeded him.
And more than thirty years ago, the current army marshal Gang Gu Kong was just a lieutenant general in his headquarters. His strength was so outstanding that he chose the promotion battle and successfully defeated a current general. Passed the promotion battle!
In other words, in the past few decades, the only person who has applied for the promotion battle is the current Marshal of the Army, Cyborg!
After both Aokiji and Kizaru were notified, as the challenger in the promotion battle, Navy Headquarters Admiral Akainu was the last one to be notified.
Click! !
The cup in Akainu's hand was crushed to pieces by him, and he suddenly stood up.
A marine standing in front of Akainu already had chills down his spine and was sweating profusely. Looking at Akainu in front of him, he didn't even dare to take a breath.
This terrifying atmosphere even spread to the corridor outside and into several nearby rooms, causing many sailors to swallow their saliva and fall silent.
“…”
The cup he crushed in Akainu's hand melted into lava, and then dripped on the ground, making a sizzling sound. Standing in front of Akainu, the marine was reporting something to Akainu. , the body almost collapsed to the ground.
"very good… "
Akainu took a deep breath, and finally said only one word, and then said nothing more, but in his eyes, the flames that seemed to have condensed into substance were enough to scare people to death!
Killing a crippled golden lion...does it feel like you are above him and can you step on his head? !
At this moment, Akainu's terrifying aura was like a volcano about to explode!
Marshal Sengoku sensed Akainu's aura, but he just sat in his room, smiled slightly and said nothing.
This momentum spread, and in the entire navy headquarters, the more powerful admirals looked towards Akainu's room with awareness. A slight trace of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and there were expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces. Who could I don't know why Akainu became so angry suddenly.
And just a moment later.
The news was finally passed from the level of three generals to the level of lieutenant general, and then continued down the line.
One day later.
The news of Roja's application for promotion to general spread throughout the entire navy headquarters, and a few days later, it spread throughout the entire sea!
A naval admiral needs to have great reputation and strength to be able to hold the position. Therefore, this kind of promotion battle is not a simple internal operation, but is completely open to the outside world.
If the challenger can defeat the current admiral, it will prove that he is stronger than the current admiral, and he can directly inherit the current admiral's reputation and prestige on the sea over the years!
This promotion battle.
Not only was it made public to the headquarters, it was also made public to the world. The general promotion battle, which had not happened for many years, just appeared, and it was like a thunder, shaking the entire navy!
