Chapter 1 Naval Strength in the New Era

With the advent of the era of pirates opened by Roger, the navy also has its own countermeasure, that is, large-scale conscription!

Before Roger surrendered, the Navy had already started recruiting troops, and after the worldwide conscription, the total strength of the Navy expanded from the original 1.2 million to 1.5 million! Among them, the naval strength of the New World has expanded from the original 200,000 to 300,000! This is the best of the best!

And the configuration of the new world has also been enhanced a lot, and the original new world only has an officer with the rank of lieutenant general. Now, the number of lieutenant general-level officers in the new world has increased to 5, Sakasky and the others have returned to the headquarters, and in addition to the veteran lieutenant general Odin, the new lieutenant generals in the new world are Lieutenant General Ekie Havel, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, Lieutenant General of Burning Mountain, and Lieutenant General Polusalino! Except for Odin, who was also the commander of the G1 base, several others were the commanders of the G2 to G5 bases. Among them, the commander of the G5 base closest to the entrance of Fish-Man Island to the New World is Lieutenant General Ekie Javier! Because many of the current generals are students of Zefa, everyone is basically a brother and sister, so basically in the new world, Odin is still the leader.

As for the other major generals and brigadier general-level officers, there is more promotion, and there is another person who has been directly promoted from the recruit to the rank of brigadier general, but that person is now at the headquarters, not in the new world. At the end of 1498, the navy completed all the conscription work, and the navy entered a period of large-scale military training.

In the year 1500 of the Sea Yuan calendar, it has been almost two years since Roger was executed, and the era of the pirates has begun for almost two years. In the past two years, many people have gone to sea, many have entered the navy, and many more have been thrown into the deep sea prison to advance the city. Two years ago, Tom, a fish-man boatman who had built the Golden Jackson for Roger, was arrested for building a ship for One Piece, and finally after a hard work, Tom was pardoned for building a sea train for the world government. When Odin saw this report, he thought that the world government was doing a bit too much, but it was also a good thing to be able to get Tom to make the sea train, so that the passage between the islands would not need to rely only on ships. It's even more convenient for the people. So Odin still supported Tom in building the sea train. Moreover, Odin also sent some knowledge about trains in his previous life to Tom through the Navy's system. These materials have saved Tom a lot of detours in the development of sea trains.

Two years have passed, the recruit training in the New World has been completed, and now in the New World, the largest pirate group is only the Whitebeard Pirates, and the other slightly larger pirate groups have let Odin lead the New World Navy to exterminate them! And the reason why the Whitebeard Pirates are left is entirely because Whitebeard's destructive power is too great, and there will be earthquakes and tsunamis at every turn, if there is a war with the Whitebeard Pirates, the current New World Navy can't afford that kind of loss!

And in the first half of the Great Voyage, there are a few rookie pirates who are very famous. Moonlight Moria, Sand Crocodile, etc., are all well-known pirates in the past two years. Basically, the people who saw Roger executed in Rogue Town!

Moreover, Kaido, who has disappeared for a few years, came out again, this time Kaido, no longer alone, but led a pirate group to start making waves in the first half of the great voyage, every time the navy pursued him, he escaped cunningly, Odin suspects that Kaido's pirate group may have recruited a think-tank type character in recent years, and Kaido still trusts him very much! Otherwise, with Kaido's full mind, it is impossible to escape before the Navy arrives every time!

As for Shanks, he is still recruiting crew members, and now he is still wandering around the world, and he has not done anything that has a huge impact, so although he used to be a crew member of One Piece, the navy did not pay too much attention to him!

And Bucky, who is also a trainee crew member of One Piece, has lost news and doesn't know where to dream!

To say that the major event in the past two years is the prison escape of the golden lion! As a deep-sea prison that has existed for 800 years and has never successfully escaped from prison, this successful escape by the golden lion is the first time that the city has lost face! Therefore, the world government was very angry and ordered the air marshal to assist in the defense, so the navy began to meddle in the affairs of the advancing city!

These things basically happened in the first half of the Great Voyage, and in the New World, basically no one could trouble the navy except for bad weather, and Odin had a rare rest.

And just when Odin was about to go on vacation, Odin suddenly received a notice from the Navy Headquarters that he needed Odin to return to the Navy Headquarters!

"Lieutenant General, the headquarters recruited you back this time, can you guess what happened?" Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel said to Odin. Because Odin was recalled to the headquarters, and I heard that this time was not short, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel handed over the affairs of his base to his deputy and came to the G1 base! During Odin's absence, manage the base in place of Odin!

"How do I know, maybe the headquarters thinks I've worked too hard in New World for so many years and wants me to go back and relax!" Odin said to the flying squirrel as he corrected the document in his hand.

Although Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel is acting as the commander of Odin, there are still some things that Odin needs to deal with, after all, although the current new world is more peaceful than the first half of the Great Voyage, but without Odin's deterrence, it is estimated that it will soon be chaotic! So Odin has to arrange a lot of things before leaving!

After Odin processed all the documents, he didn't drag it anymore and drove directly towards the naval headquarters on his Lightning Speed!

A few days later, Odin came to the headquarters and found that it was Vice Admiral Tsuru who personally greeted him at the docks! Odin was taken aback. "It seems that there is a big deal here, otherwise it would be impossible for Lieutenant General Crane to come here and wait for him!" Odin thought after seeing Lieutenant General Crane standing on the dock.

In fact, this time to let Odin come back, in fact, there is really no big deal, and it is completely good for Odin! Because the Navy Headquarters decided to promote Odin to Admiral!

Because in the past two years, the navy has curbed the development of pirates according to Odin's original proposal, especially in the New World, due to Odin's suppression, it is calmer than the first half of the great voyage, so the world government wants Odin to be promoted to general, and then start to sit in the naval headquarters! Curb the first half of the great shipping route that is getting more and more chaotic!

"Odin, if you come back this time, you may not return to the New World, because the World Government is ready to promote you to Admiral! Good to sit in the Navy Headquarters! "Lieutenant General Crane simply Odin's first words surprised Odin!

For Odin, although it is enough to be promoted to a general, there is now only one general in Sengoku, and the other two generals have given up their positions as generals for various reasons. Is it appropriate to promote yourself to a general now?

"Lieutenant General Crane, now promote me to general? Could it be that someone else has been promoted to general? Or for what reason? Odin spoke directly of his doubts.

"Odin, you may know that the World Government has recently intended to upgrade Marshal Air to the World Government as the commander-in-chief of the whole army! So the Navy needs a new marshal candidate, and the general is only Sengoku alone, and if Sengoku is promoted to marshal, then there will be no admiral in the Navy! So after Marshal Air discussed with Sengoku, it was decided to promote you to general and take over Sengoku's position! Lieutenant General Tsuru directly stated the reason.

Odin remembered that in his previous life, at the time of the O'Hara incident, Sengoku was still a general, and now that O'Hara time has not happened, why is Sengoku going to be promoted to marshal? If you only promote yourself as a general, doesn't that mean that you have to authorize the use of the Demon Slayer Order yourself? How could such a big change happen?

"Lieutenant General Crane, can't you promote someone else? Why does it have to be me? Isn't there still Mr. Karp and my teacher? Why can't I be the general, right? Odin said.

"If Karp really wanted to be a general, he would have been promoted a long time ago, and your teacher retired from the position of general, how could he come back? Besides, if you look at the current navy, who else is qualified to be promoted to admiral? The strength of those with enough qualifications is not enough, and the qualifications with enough strength are not enough! So you're alone! Lieutenant General Tsuru said truthfully.

Odin thought about it, although the strength of many people has been greatly improved in recent years, but the strength to be promoted to the general is only the next three generals, and the rest are basically not enough as a general. But last year, Sakasky and others were just promoted to lieutenant generals, and it is impossible to be promoted again now. Thinking about it, it seems that only I am really the only one who has enough qualifications to appreciate.

"But what about the New World? You can't just leave it alone, right? The New World has been so peaceful in the past few years, if I'm not here, the New World is prone to problems! Odin voiced his concerns.

"Don't worry, the headquarters has already considered this problem, after you appreciate, the number of garrisons in the new world will be increased, and it will increase from the current five lieutenant generals to ten lieutenant generals! Anyway, five lieutenant generals can have the same effect as you, right? Although their individual strength is not as strong as yours, five people are enough. Lieutenant General Tsuru said with a smile.

"Well, but Lieutenant General Tsuru, can you tell me which lieutenant generals are going to the New World? Besides, there are so many lieutenant generals in the new world, what should I do with the four seas in the first half of the great voyage? Odin asked.

"Going to the New World are Sakaski, Kuzan, Ghost Spider, Haguvar Brown. D. Saron and Lieutenant General Rondeste Dey. That's enough for the five of them! Because if you are transferred back to the Navy Headquarters, then there will not be so many lieutenant generals stationed in the first half of the Great Voyage, and if you can't do it, you can also send more lieutenant generals to the New World, I believe that ordinary pirates are not the opponents of lieutenant generals, once they can't handle it, isn't there still a way for you to attack? It's not like you're not going to be able to attack when you're promoted to general! Lieutenant General Crane said angrily.

Odin thought about it, didn't Kuzan always roam the sea on his bicycle? And after being promoted to general, you only need to be on duty at the headquarters, and you can still go out in normal times! So don't worry about that.

The two walked towards the marshal's office as they spoke, and after arriving at the marshal's office, Tsuru and Odin walked in directly, and when they entered, they found that in addition to Marshal Kong, Sengoku, Karp, and Zefa were all there, and they all looked at Odin who walked in with a smile. Odin greeted everyone, and then found a back seat to do it, this room is full of elders, and Odin can only sit in the back.

"Odin, did Lieutenant General Crane tell you? I have already received an order to report to Mary Joya in a few days, and Sengoku will take over the position of Marshal at that time, and you will take over Sengoku's position. Although some people on the side of the world government have questioned your appointment to be promoted to general, but the five old stars have already agreed, and it is useless for them to object, so you can wait at the headquarters with peace of mind during this time! After seeing Odin sitting down, Marshal Sky said directly to Odin.
