At this time, not only Huo Shaoshan, but also the other lieutenant generals in the surrounding headquarters started talking about it. The sound of nature is small
"explain
"As a lieutenant general in the headquarters, although there is no problem with his strength, he is too young."
"No, what is needed is the power to intimidate the pirates. Age does not matter. Since Roja can defeat the flying squirrel, he is enough to serve as the lieutenant general of the headquarters."
The opinions of these lieutenant generals are also different.
Being promoted to the rank of lieutenant general in the headquarters is no small matter. Even in the Warring States period, some people did not dare to make the decision easily.
Although there was an incident in the original work where two admirals, Fujitora and Midoriya, were promoted from the world conscription, but that was a special period when the navy headquarters was extremely empty and needed strong combat power to fill it.
The current Navy Headquarters has full positions for the three generals, and there are also many positions for lieutenant generals in the headquarters.
"Since we have broken the record and achieved perfection in everything, maybe we can give it a chance." Zefa stood nearby and suddenly said.
Zefa's words were much heavier than those of the lieutenant generals, and the balance in Warring States' heart gradually began to tilt.
Although Garp said nothing, Sengoku knew that Garp must also hope that his nephew Roya could directly hold important positions in the navy.
Taking into account Garp and Zefa, Warring States gradually made a decision in his heart.
But almost at this time.
On the other side of the Warring States Period, a deep voice came over.
"No."
The person who spoke was none other than Admiral Akainu, who had never said much since he was watching the third-stage graduation examination of the elite camp.
Akainu spoke in a low tone, glanced at Roja in the distance, and said to Sengoku: "The position of lieutenant general in this headquarters is definitely not a child's play. It cannot be awarded so easily. Has Marshal Sengoku forgotten about the dragon?"
I heard Akainu mention dragons.
The atmosphere in the field suddenly became heavy. Obviously this was not a good topic. On the other side, Garp's smile froze and his expression immediately darkened.
Monkey d dragon.
He is the son of Garp and the cousin of Roya. He is now the leader of the revolutionary army who wants to overthrow the eight-hundred-year rule of the World Government. He is dubbed by the World Government as the most dangerous criminal in the world.
Because Garp is a naval hero, this incident will have a very bad impact, so the world government issued an extremely strict blockade order. There are only a few people who know that Long is Garp's son in the entire navy. Basically, Only officers above lieutenant general are qualified to know.
The people here are basically lieutenant generals, the only exception is Roya, but Roya is Garp's nephew and the central figure in this matter.
Sengoku's expression fell silent for a moment.
The lieutenant generals of the headquarters who were present looked at Garp and then at Akainu. Some of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva. When gods were fighting, it would be better for them to shut up and not get involved.
"In that case... then grant Roja the rank of Major General."
Warring States was silent for a while and rejected his previous idea. Although he did not lower the military rank awarded to Roja to a colonel, he was only given the rank of major general, the same as the original Aokiji Kizaru and others.
"Major General?"
Akainu frowned slightly when he heard Sengoku's decision. In his opinion, Roja's instability as a general was too much. If he really defected, it would have a great impact on the reputation of the navy. Big impact.
In particular, Roya himself is the nephew of naval hero Garp, which is enough to implicate the reputation and face of the entire navy.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, this unstable factor..."
"That's enough, Sakaski!"
Garp looked at Akainu coldly.
Akainu's real name is Sakaski, and Akainu is just his code name in the navy. Aokiji's real name is Kuzan, and Kizaru's real name is Porusalino. The top brass of the navy call them three generals. Usually they are called by their given names.
Akainu was scolded by Garp, and his words paused. He looked at Garp indifferently. Although Garp was a naval hero, Garp was extremely impulsive and sometimes even ignored the orders of the World Government. Akainu didn't like it.
What's more, Garp's son Long actually ran to join the revolutionary army and became the world government's number one criminal. This is simply a great irony of the title of naval hero.
Garp was very angry at this time.
However, he had nothing to say. The dragon incident was indeed a stain on his naval career, a stain that could not be refuted.
Neither Aokiji nor Kizaru spoke, Zefa also frowned and said nothing, and Sengoku looked at Garp and Akainu with a headache expression.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came.
That was Roya's voice.
Roja came close at some point, looked at Garp who clenched his fists but didn't know what to say, then looked at Akainu, suddenly chuckled, and uttered a word of profound essence.
"hehe."
This chuckle fell on everyone's ears, and there was an indescribable weird feeling.
All the eyes in the field were focused on Roja. The originally extremely depressing atmosphere was broken by Roja's chuckle. From depressive, it turned into a weird atmosphere that could not be described in words.
"Um?"
Akainu looked at Roja and frowned. He instinctively felt that this hehe was not a very good tone, so his eyes turned cold and he was about to scold him.
But at this moment, Roja had already turned around and walked directly into the distance. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. It seemed that everything he said was contained in that hehe.
For Roya.
The dragon is a dragon, he is him, whether he is a navy, a pirate, or a revolutionary army, even if he is none of the three, it doesn't matter. He never cares about his position, because his position is his own heart, and he can do whatever he wants.
But.
Akainu's words changed Roja's mind.
Since Akainu acted like he would betray the navy no matter what, he decided not to leave, and not only did he not leave, he also wanted to become an admiral and replace Akainu's position!
In the system of the Navy Headquarters.
There are three positions of admiral. If you want to become an admiral, there are two ways. One is that the position of admiral is vacant and appointed by the world government.
The second type... has 200,000 military merits, and chooses a serving admiral to challenge, defeat him, and you can take his place!
In the original book, when Aokiji and Akainu competed for the position of marshal, they used a duel method. If you want to become an admiral, you also have this method of dueling, but it has happened very rarely in history. .
If the current general is defeated, then the general position will be replaced, and the defeated former general will be placed in similar bench positions such as chief of staff, general advisor, etc. of the Navy Headquarters, or he can choose to retire on his own initiative.
"I don't know how long you can sit in this position as an admiral, Akainu..."
Luo Ya smiled and strode away without looking back.
…
Until Roya walks away.
"The awarding of the rank of Major General to Roja is final and will not be changed."
Warring States looked at Roja's back, took a deep breath, and spoke in a solemn tone, with an unquestionable flavor, then looked at Akainu and Garp, and turned and left.
Akainu frowned. Although he was still a little dissatisfied with this, Sengoku's tone was already clear, so he couldn't continue talking.
As for what Roja just showed, he seemed to have a very hostile attitude towards him.
He just doesn't care.
Roja's talent is indeed extremely high, and he seems to have the potential to become a great general, but he is far from reaching that level yet, and one of the powerful abilities Roja possesses is fire.
In Akainu's view, although Roya's flames are a bit strange, compared to his magma, they are nothing more than that and pose no threat to him at all. The only thing that can threaten him is swordsmanship.
but.
He is a navy admiral, with the highest combat power in the navy headquarters!
He knows very well what his strength is and has great confidence in his own strength. Even if Roja's swordsmanship can reach the level of Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman, so what
What you want to do to him is not an easy thing to do. If he becomes afraid because of this, then he no longer needs to be an admiral.
