The war is over, and the most urgent thing at the moment is not to reward people based on their merits, but to clean up the mess.
The top priority is how to deal with the pirates.
The number of pirates arrested this time was tens of thousands, which is the largest number in history!
How to deal with so many pirates has naturally become a top priority. If it is not handled well, the whole world will look at the navy as a joke.
As a result, the Judiciary Island, which belongs to the Maelstrom Iron Triangle, operates around the clock under the supervision of the Five Old Stars, interrogating the pirates one by one.
Just a very vicious guy, kill him!
There were quite a few pirates who were active and active just because they had some skills. The judges were upset when they saw these guys who were neither good nor low, so they killed them all.
Somewhat famous, Guan!
Impel Down City, which had experienced Ron's temporary duty, has now become a "devil's lair". These guys are locked in and suffer, which is somewhat of a deterrent.
But the judges did not take into account one thing, that is, Impel Down looked like it had six floors, but there were not many prisons actually used to imprison prisoners.
So within a few days, Magellan came crying and said that Impel Down was already overcrowded and that they should either send fewer people or allocate more funds for their expansion.
No one knows whether Magellan's political thinking was due to fear of trouble caused by too many prisoners. Anyway, the problem actually existed. After discussion, the judges on the Judiciary Island quickly adjusted and divided the famous pirates into three, six, and nine grades.
Senior citizens... no, pirates are qualified to go to Impel Down City to suffer and stage PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds every day.
Mid-level pirates were sent to "black cellars" to mine coal. Places like Luo's hometown of Frevans were plentiful on the sea and needed a group of strong 996 workers who could just feed themselves. .
Of course, some pirates were sold to slave traders who were interested in the process. The issue of the judges enriching their own pockets is a matter of personal opinion.
The establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption has kept them out of trouble for a long time. As long as they don't go too far, even the Warring States Period will turn a blind eye at this juncture.
As for the most inferior pirate...
After several days of detention, he was also sent to the execution platform.
The blood stains on the execution platform have not dried up for several days, and the guillotine has been sharpened several times. Three figures of pirates are executed every day, and the hearts of those who are killed are chilled.
This time, the information released by the Judiciary Island is not the number of crimes committed by any pirate and sentenced to death, but a simple list of names for the public to know.
The implications of this frightened countless people.
The issue of dealing with pirates is in full swing, and the second issue is on the agenda...
That is to rebuild the Navy Headquarters!
Although the soldiers had worked hard enough, they still caused serious damage to the headquarters fortress... and even the entire island of Marineford!
Whitebeard's punch, and Teach's subsequent devouring of the dark holes, made the magnificent building of the headquarters fortress like cheese that had been gnawed by mice, with one piece missing and another piece missing.
The government that regards face as everything naturally does not allow the tattered Marlin Ford to be embarrassed. These are not scars on a man's body. The more scars he has, the more attractive he is.
As a result, the vast repair work was carried out quickly, and all generals who did not have a mission must participate unconditionally as long as they stayed in their headquarters.
Even if you just help move some rocks, you can't be idle.
In this regard, many generals complained endlessly. They wanted to take a rest after a rare battle, but they were forced to work.
Except for the sixteen lieutenant generals and generals of the headquarters who need to assist the busy aftermath of the Warring States Period, there are no exceptions.
Especially the soldiers belonging to G10, none of them ran away, they all stayed at the headquarters to help rebuild the port.
Ron had promised Warring States, and this position would be given to him.
It seems that Ron suffered a big loss. He fought hard and ended up spending money and effort, but don't forget... this is the Navy Headquarters!
Originally, all the work should be funded by the government. There has never been any precedent for this kind of national defense project to be handed over to outsiders.
Did Ron really suffer in this
Who else but him could privately undertake the repairs of a place
Many people sensed something from this unreasonable scene. For a time, there was an endless stream of visitors to Ron's home who stayed at the headquarters.
Even Kizaru came over to have a meal, and then was kicked out by Zefa who disliked him for being cunning during the war.
Zefa knows best about Kizaru.
If he had made up his mind earlier and fought hard, the losses would have been reduced by another level.
but!
Just when everything was going well and all work was proceeding in an orderly manner, on this morning, a piece of news came out that was a major event for the Navy and the world.
"What? The marshal applied for resignation from the government?!"
"It's not an application, it's been confirmed! Otherwise, why do you think it would be spread?!"
Two chatting soldiers leaned against the wall, one of them rolled his eyes and explained.
If such an important matter as "Buddha's Warring States" resigning as marshal was not confirmed, the government would not even have heard of it.
"But... why?!"
The soldier asked with some anxiety: "Didn't we win? Doesn't the marshal need to retreat?"
Twenty years ago, the then Navy Marshal "Cyborg" Kong resigned because of Roger's words.
Although he not only failed to succeed but was promoted, everyone knew that the era of great pirates created by Roger was a stain that could never be erased for him as a marshal.
It is understandable that he took the blame and resigned.
But this time is different, this time it is a great victory for the navy!
Even the pirate group who disliked the navy the most had to admit that the navy had won a beautiful victory.
In this case, why did the Warring States Period retire
"I don't know that, but..."
The soldier shrugged, and suddenly the tall figure standing in the thunder and rain on the day of the war appeared in front of his eyes.
However, it is understandable.
Because times have changed!
…
In the headquarters fortress, Aokiji's temporary office.
"Pfft hahahaha, don't look at me like that!"
Garp smiled heartlessly and patted Aoki's shoulder with his greasy hands: "I have been in the navy for most of my life and have never seen any big winds or waves. Now I am just tired."
Qing Zhi didn't speak when he heard this. After being silent for a while, he raised his head and looked at him firmly.
"Mr. Karp, this time, I want to compete for the position of marshal!"
Everyone in the navy knows that Qing Zhi is lazy by nature, but now, when these words come out of his lazy mouth, you can imagine the shock it brings!
Hearing this, Garp was stunned for a moment, and then asked seriously.
"Do you know what's happening now? Kuzan."
"Know!"
Qingzhi nodded: "Wulaoxing agreed to the marshal's and your resignation request, and then believed that Sakaski should take over the position of Marshal Warring States. However, the marshal did not agree with this assignment and strongly recommended me to Wulaoxing to take over the position."
"Considering that the Marshal took great credit for this major event, Wulaoxing had to give up the idea of forcibly issuing orders and chose to let us decide on our own."
This gave Akainu and Aokiji a chance to compete.
"Not only that!"
Garp suddenly added: "Someone discovered a long time ago that that kid Ron went to Akainu's house with gifts and came back after dinner..."
"If you really think about it, the assassination team's style of conduct is most compatible with the hawks of Akainu's family, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Don't forget his current influence, Kuzan!"
"Are you sure you have hope that, with Ron's support, you can beat Akainu?"
Qingzhi was silent and shook his head after a moment.
"No!"
The advantage he has is the prestige and admiration he has accumulated in the navy... and the reason why this popularity is his advantage is because his opponent is Akainu.
It’s not about how good he is, it’s all about the support of his peers!
If we really want to talk about popularity, he can't even compare to Peach Rabbit. Garp's popularity is the highest!
Under such circumstances, if Ron stood up and publicly expressed his support for Akainu, how many people would defect and join the other side's camp.
When the time comes when everyone is united, even the Warring States Period will have no reason to continue to support him.
