Chapter 259: Man of the Hour

"It's here."

Smoker stood at the bow of the ship, his little friend Rada stood on his shoulders as always, and on the deck behind him was led by five colonel-level officers, all the generals above the rank of lieutenant and above lined up to fight, one by one the justice fluttering in the sea breeze, lifelike in the bright sun.

"Navy Headquarters, Marlene Fando...."

After nearly a month of sailing, the fleet finally approached the real fortress of justice, and by this time the entire port had been cleared, and the Marshal of the Warring States personally issued an order not to allow other warships to enter and leave for the time being.

On the Justice Square in front of the magnificent Fortress of Justice, a hundred colonel-level officers stood on both sides, quietly watching the three warships that were slowly sailing from the sea, covered with battle marks, and the large white warships flying in the air.

They had already heard about what had happened, and they understood that the remains of a thousand or so comrades-in-arms were kept on the battleship in the air, which made them focus more on it.

Marshal Sengoku, General Akainu, Yellow Ape, Pheasant, Zefa, Lieutenant General Karp, Tsuru and others stood on the stage of the Righteous Fortress, and at the same time, there were four huge video phone bugs in the audience, which were broadcasting the situation here to the world.

They just want the people of the world to see how much effort and sacrifice their navy has paid for the justice of this world, so that more people in this world can see, and there are still a group of people who are fighting bloodily for them, and they will never die!

Of course, at this moment, everyone on Marin Fando Island, whether it is the family area, or the major schools are also watching, as well as all the G-department branches of the Navy on the Great Voyage and all the naval branches of the Four Seas are required to watch.

"Justice returns!"

At this moment, Smoker's solemn voice suddenly swept the audience from far and near, and at the same time, the huge white warship in the sky suddenly turned into billowing white smoke to cover the sky, making the light of the entire Justice Square dim.

"Whew! Shout! Whewβ€”β€”! ”

The next moment, long strips of objects flew out of the vast sea of smoke and mist, they were so numerous and dense, they were orderly, as if a soldier from heaven was falling in line towards the square.

"That's ....."

When they saw what had fallen, all the colonel-level generals guarding both sides of the square, as well as all the navies and civilians around the world who watched the live broadcast and the pirates hiding in the shadows, were shocked.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”

The sound was like the sound of shogi falling on the chessboard, hitting everyone's deepest heart, not to mention these ordinary people, even the big guys on the high platform were shocked by Smoker's big strokes.

"There are really a lot of tricks...."Sengoku thought so in his heart, but the corners of his mouth were indeed smiling, to be honest, he liked the scene made by Smoker.

I don't know how long it took, and thousands of coffins of justice where the navy soldiers would stay forever were neatly placed in the empty square of justice, and the distance between them was just about thirty centimeters.

It's not that Smoker doesn't want to expand to one meter, but the space in Justice Square is not enough, and although the square is large, it can't hold a lot of coffins.

β€œ......”

In Rogue Town, Cuenca placed this viewing location in the square of Rogue Town, and it was opposite the One Piece Roger's execution table, giving people a strong sense of contradiction.

At this time, the square was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, looking at the white coffin with the word justice and the identity of the deceased in shock.

"Roger, look at it! Because of the era of pirates you opened, how many excellent, hot-blooded naval officers died on the battlefield! ”

Cuenca, wearing the cloak of justice with the rank of major general, led a group of branch generals of Rogue Town to watch this grand ceremony with the common people.

Unfortunately, in the face of Cuenca and the countless coffins in the video, the execution table on top was indeed towering and immovable, as if all this could not shake his original decision.

On the Square of Justice, when all the coffins of justice were neatly arranged, the sky once again poured golden and brilliant sunshine.

Everyone subconsciously looked up and found that there was no longer smoke that covered everything, and in its place were two huge and incomparably righteous words.

"Salute!!" As a marshal of the Navy, it is incumbent upon Sengoku to loudly announce the start of the ceremony, and no other words are needed, this one word is enough.

"Uhhh

It was the sound of thousands of people waving their robes in unison in salute.

......

"Gollah-la-"

Edward Whitebeard. Newgate sat on a huge chair, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "It's really a big deal, Warring States!" ”

"Daddy....."

Marco, George, and hundreds of other members of the Whitebeard Pirates shifted their gaze from the image to Edward.

"But!"

Edward Whitebeard. Newgate looked at the coffin of justice in the image and said, "If human beings can't live on the right path, there is no value in living." ”

"No matter what you do, sooner or later, there will be people on this sea who will inherit Roger's will, and one day in the future, there will be people who will bear all the history of these hundreds of years and challenge this world!"

He didn't say it, but he was happy to live until he could see that person appear with his own eyes.

The ceremony lasted four hours, and it was almost finished.

"Finally, it is announced that Lieutenant General Smoker will be immediately included in the 'General Candidate' sequence from today!"

At this time, Marshal Sengoku used his righteous voice to push Smoker's name to the ears of everyone in the world, and from this moment on, Smoker officially became a man of the year on the sea.

......

Fish-Man Island, Kualon Code Square, at this time, there are also a group of no less than 10,000 people of fish and mermaids.

"What... What the?! ”

A fish-man with bright red skin and an unknown breed looked at the close-up of Smoker in the huge image in shock, "Admiral Candidate? ”

"That thief turned out to be a candidate for general? That's not to say that he has the strength to be close to a general! ”

The audience was in an uproar, and all the fish and mermaids who knew about Smoker's extermination of the Sun Pirates changed their expressions in an instant, if this guy really has monster-like power, then what about Tiger and their hatred?

Ryugu Kingdom.

"Shark Star!"

Neptune, the king of Fish-Man Island, who was sitting on the throne, shouted to the eldest prince below: "Go and warn those guys on Fish-Man Street immediately that you are not allowed to trouble Smoker again!" ”

Neptune knew very well what the concept of an admiral was, and even if Smoker was only an alternate now, it was not something they could provoke on Fish-Man Island.

"I see."

The calm nature of the Great Prince Shark Star heard the seriousness in Neptune's tone, and immediately turned around and headed for Fishman Street.

"Eh, Otohime, can we really live in peace with humans?"

Neptune sighed in his heart, and then he remembered Princess Otohime who had sailed with the Draconians before, and a ship carrying a world nobleman, the Draconians, was shipwrecked and asked them to enter Fish-Man Island.

Princess Otohime chose to shelter them because she didn't want the fish-people's hatred of humans to continue, but she was misunderstood by the fish-people and was shot and wounded, because it was the time when the Sun Pirates were destroyed and Jinpei was sent into the city.

Fortunately, her injuries were not serious, and after fully recovering, she followed the Draco to the Holy Land. Maryjoy, saying that she wants to fight for the opportunity to be friendly with humans.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, an elderly man wearing a top hat, one-sided glasses in his left eye, and a horned cane in his right hand ran in, and it was none other than Minister Zuo of Fish-Man Island.

"Princess Otohime has just returned, and.... And it is said that it also carries the signature of the nobles of the world agreeing to the establishment of friendly relations between the fish-people and humans....." Minister Zuo said with some surprise.

"What!!"
