Chapter 534: Encounter
A new era on the sea has indeed arrived.
There is no doubt about it.
The biggest change since the opening of the Age of the Sea Pirates was largely completed with the ascension of Marshal Sakasky of the Navy.
At this point, the supreme commander of the navy is the youngest marshal in history at the age of forty-five, and it is impossible to estimate what this extremely radical man will bring to this sea.
In terms of pirates, except for the remnants of the previous era, who is still strong and incomparable Whitebeard, the other two men standing on the top are young people around thirty years old, and the red-haired Shanks is only twenty-nine years old, which makes him a little difficult to be on a par with Akainu at this age.
The golden lion who galloped the sea in Roger's time before, Charlotte? Lingling, Kaido has all fallen off the horse, no one thinks that Whitebeard can suppress Mario and Redhead, in fact, as early as after Mario defeated Kaido, there was already a debate on the sea about who is the strongest in the world, Whitebeard has long been unable to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai, and a new era of pirates has arrived.
And then the revolutionary army, the commander of the revolutionary army, Monchi? D. Dorag was two years older than Akainu, forty-seven years old, at the peak of both energy and physical strength, and the revolutionary army he commanded had already shown the whole world their strength, and even the world government could only be anxious about it.
Then there is the force that has only recently surfaced, the archbishop of the Church of Fortune, a man who calls himself Karl to the outside world, and whose real name is Tezzolo, is only thirty-one years old at this time, and he is also quite young, but at this age he already has the power to shake the sea, and the strength of this man has gradually become known.
In the end, few people know that the supreme commander of CP0, the man codenamed Baixiang, is only thirty years old this year.
In this case, the men who have mastered the power to shake the world, except for Whitebeard, are already in the prime of life at this time.
This magnificent era of pirates ushered in a new peak period.
Of course, there is no change in sight, and everything was so calm for everyone before the storm, but everyone knows that the chaotic currents have begun to form beneath the calm sea.
After Sakasky took office, the navy began to make big moves, of course, it was not a direct dispatch to the New World or the encirclement and suppression of the revolutionary army, in fact, the Warring States left him with a lot of messes, first of all, the comprehensive reconstruction of the branch bases in the four seas and even the great shipping routes, which is already a time-consuming and troublesome thing.
After all, it's not as good as it was back then, the emergence of the Church of Fortune has let the countries on the sea know that even if they don't rely on the government and the navy, they can still survive on this chaotic sea, a large number of beast gods will transport beast soldiers to all parts of the sea, plus the encouragement of the previous government, the Church of Fortune has blossomed everywhere, even within the government member countries, the voice of being willing to re-station the navy to assist in the reconstruction of the naval branch is much quieter.
Unable to complete the rebuilding of the division, it is impossible for the Navy to return to the unscrupulous state it was in the past, and the great trouble in front of Sakasky is only one of them.
The contradiction between the number of pirates increasing year by year and the greatly fading naval power is even more acute, in the final analysis, the revolutionary army or something is a subsidiary business, this is what the government should do, the navy only needs to fight pirates, and the new pirates who have never slowed down since the opening of the era of pirates are definitely one of the most headaches for the navy at this moment.
Rebuilding the branch base and sending generals to sweep the pirates in Paradise are the first two things that Sakasky did after taking the throne, and there is no doubt that he is iron-blooded, and it goes without saying that the kingdoms that are unwilling to accept the rebuilding of the branch will directly report to the government for pressure.
But neither of these things can compare to the next action.
A large conscription for the whole world.
Undeterred, this radical man told the sea that the navy needed to be stronger, so he solicited people from all over the world to join, and even the vacant position of admiral was vacant.
This kind of thing is really unimaginable, the admiral is not a casual position, this is the highest combat power of the navy, the strongest guardian of the world government, you know, even the admiral, it is the name of the admiral, and there is no complete gap with the admiral.
Successive admirals have been served by the best naval soldiers, not only in terms of strength, but also in loyalty, responsibility, and adherence to justice.
Where can a random person become a general? It is not unheard of in the history of large-scale conscription to foreign countries, but there has never been a precedent for directly conferring the rank of lieutenant general, let alone a general.
Marshal Sakaski's actions shook the world.
In fact, the five old stars were also furious when they heard this proposal for the first time, and in the end, it was Louie who persuaded them for a long time before they reluctantly accepted, after all, now the navy really can't find a reserve force that can be promoted to the rank of general, although Gion is very strong, but after all, there is still a lot of difference, and the same plus as her is a level that is easily hammered to death with a smile, and of course she can't surpass it.
Lieutenant General Karp had enough strength and prestige, but he refused, and the government would not let him.
There is no way around this, will the three generals who have been put together with great difficulty have to be vacated like the empty ruler at that time? However, even if the Sengoku General would nominally vacate two positions, everyone knew that the retired Zefa and the only lieutenant general Karp were the other two generals.
Sakasky is different now, there is really one less.
The five old stars relented, and so the mighty conscription began, and countless people eager to show their talents began to gather towards the navy.
The change in the sea frightened everyone, but no one could compare to the surprise in Katakuri's heart at this moment.
"How-"
Although his eyes have long been invisible, his keen sense of seeing and hearing makes him far better at observing the world than those who have eyes.
"How are you here?"
The location is a small island in the New World, close to the windless zone, and it is very closed, and even the emperors of the New World are not interested in it.
He's been wandering around the New World lately, helping the man find something called Pure Gold, and the only clue is the giant lanternfish in the legend of Pure Gold that swallowed the entire island, and it's up to him to collect the rest.
This is indeed not a simple matter, and he has found nothing after searching most of the new world, but on this island, he finally has a harvest, although it is an unexpected gain.
The behemoth lying on the ground, dazed and drenched in wine, could not be seen, but the terrifying aura was far more terrifying than all the people on this island combined.
"Kaido?!"
