41. Inauguration
Gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are ringing in unison.
The military flag is displayed, and the crowd is crowded.
Today's Navy Headquarters is particularly lively.
In addition to the many sailors who were not allowed to leave their posts unless necessary, all the navy garrisoned by the headquarters of Marin Fando went to the main square to watch the ceremony.
All the naval subdivisions around the world stopped their daily workouts and broadcast the grand ceremony live with projection phones.
There is a makeshift six-story platform in the square.
On the highest platform, the air marshal was dressed in a naval uniform, and the military uniform was full of various military merit medals.
On the second floor below the air marshal were Sengoku, Polusalino, Sakasky, and Kuzan, all four of whom were dressed in formal attire and did not wear naval uniforms.
But inside the tray in front of them was a set of military uniforms exclusive to generals and marshals, as well as a higher-standard justice cloak.
The third floor further down is surrounded by a number of important naval officers.
These include the rank of Chief Instructor of the Navy and the rank of Admiral Zefa, the rank of Lieutenant Admiral of the Navy and the rank of Vice Admiral Tsuru, the rank of Vice Admiral and Vice Admiral.
The fourth level is a series of vice admirals of the Admiralty, the fifth is the rear admiral of the Admiralty, and the sixth is the Commodore of the Admiralty......
Navies who have not attained the rank of admiral will all be in the audience to watch the ceremony.
On the high platform, Marshal Kong slowly read out the appointment letters of the four people.
Everyone in the square was watching this scene in solemnity, and in addition to the naval branches from all over the sea, most of them had stopped their daily exercise today and gathered together in front of the projection phone bug to watch the ceremony.
Even the pirates with a little brain in the four seas also watched the live broadcast of the inauguration of the three generals and the marshal with serious eyes through the live broadcast screens that are available in various prosperous areas. They force themselves to remember most of the characters on the steps in the picture, and most of these futures are existences that they can't afford to provoke.
The sea thieves also looked at this scene with serious eyes, and they understood that the torrent of the times would change dramatically at this moment.
Ordinary people from all over the world gathered in the local square to watch the pictures on the projection phone bugs, cheering for the strength of the navy.
"The Warring States General will be promoted to the rank of Admiral from today, with the rank of Chief Admiral, codenamed [Buddha]!"
"Vice Admiral Polusalino has been promoted to Admiral from today, with the rank of Admiral, codenamed [Yellow Ape]."
"Vice Admiral Sakasky has been promoted to Admiral from today, with the rank of Admiral, codenamed [Akainu]."
"Vice Admiral Kuzan has been promoted to Admiral from today, with the rank of Admiral, codenamed [Pheasant]."
On the high platform, the sound of the air slowly fell.
The four men who were announced to be promoted officially became the pillars of the Navy's future.
The four Warring States solemnly stepped forward to pick up the military uniforms placed in the tray and changed them in front of everyone present, and the military uniform, which symbolized the justice of the navy, replaced the suit on their bodies.
Then Sora walked up to everyone, picked up the remaining cloak of justice in the tray, and put it on for the four of them himself.
Cloak of justice, which is peculiar to officers of a certain rank in the Navy. And the capes of the three generals and the marshal are gold epaulettes with tassels, and the cuffs have their own representative colors.
When this solemn scene was over, Sora took off his naval uniform full of meritorious deeds, and slowly folded it down and put it on the table.
After a long speech, the inauguration ceremony ended.
After the ceremony, various news quickly spread around the world, including not only information from official channels, but also various gossip.
"The marshal of the navy was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces! "Shock! The new marshal turned out to be him? ", "The establishment of the three major admirals of the Navy has finally been completed, and there is a dispute over the selection of the three members! "Take you to the past of the new marshal Warring States! "Speculation about the failure of Lieutenant General Shensu to be promoted to general! "Red Dog, Green Pheasant, Yellow Ape, Code Name Naming Rules for the New Generation of Admirals of the Navy! 》…………
……………
……………
The end of the inauguration does not mean that the whole ceremony is officially over.
The steps of the square were transformed into a large stage and various performances began in the open air.
Around the stage, tables were quickly filled.
The second part of the ceremony began at this moment, and all those present were left behind to participate in the grand banquet, which was reimbursed by the world government.
At the C-seat table in the square, which is the most suitable for watching stage performances, a group of naval bigwigs sit together and stagger together.
"Boy, I've always had a question I'm curious about." After eating a large mouthful of meat, Karp asked the man beside him.
"Huh?" Suddenly, he stopped picking up the vegetables and looked at Karp suspiciously.
"You said that you are not like the yellow ape, the kid is a natural person, and you can turn into elements along with your clothes. So when you run so fast, how do you ensure that your clothes are not worn out? "It's rare for Karp's unobtrusive personality to ask such a serious question.
"Secret~"
After smiling, he began to eat the vegetables again.
Why didn't his clothes get damaged by moving at high speeds?
Speed Force Protector~
He is not like those speeders, who can only let the speed force cover his body, but not his own clothes.
"The pattern of the second half of the Great Voyage has been set, and the three Pirate Emperors have ruled almost everything." Sora looked at Sengoku and said, "Your navy will have a hard time in the future." ”
"The Seven Martial Seas Policy has completed most of the Seven Martial Seas, and it can be regarded as a contribution to our efforts to maintain peace in the seas. With them, there is a buffer and balance between the Three Emperors and us. Sengoku analyzed.
"A bunch of scum can also help our navy?!" When Akainu heard Sengoku's words, he put down the wine glass in his hand with some anger.
He has always been full of opinions about the so-called Seven Martial Sea system, how can a group of scum pirates work with the navy.
With the exception of him, most of the navy was actually disgusted by the Seven Martial Seas policy led by the world government. Navy and pirates cooperating? What's the matter?
"Indeed, with the current strength of our navy, do we really need the Seven Martial Seas?" The crane analyzed a little rationally.
It's a good idea to use pirates to control pirates, but that was a policy that came out 14 years ago, and it's a bit outdated now.
"Seconded." Zefa pushed his sunglasses and nodded.
Naturally, he is also a member of the extremely opposed policy of the Seven Martial Seas, since his wife and children were poisoned by the pirates, he is no longer the legendary "don't kill" general of the past, and his attitude towards the scum pirates has long become a must-kill.
"Seconded."
Looking at Zefa's choice, he also nodded.
Looking at the people in front of him, Sora shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's not talk about business today, everyone continues to eat and drink." ”
After all, the Seven Martial Seas Policy is an order from the World Government's side, and the opinions of their navy alone may not be able to shake the decision of the above.
We'll talk about the details later.
