Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.

In Room A, located in the fortress building, the high-ranking people of the headquarters with the rank of lieutenant general and above are in a meeting—since Roger conquered the Great Passage and the Golden Lion escaped from prison and advanced into the city, these bigwigs have been meeting for an average of nearly three hours a day.

Polusalino and Sakasky also attended these meetings as special participants, and although both of them had the rank of rear admiral, no one in the entire Navy Headquarters really regarded them as rear admirals. Just like Vice Admiral Tsuru, although she only holds the rank of vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, in terms of the position she actually holds as a senior staff officer, she can be regarded as the second person in the entire navy, and her status is higher than that of the admiral.

And anyone with a discerning eye knows that Polusalino and Sakasky were originally going to be promoted to vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters recently, but they were not very lucky, and they suddenly encountered these two major events one after another, so the promotion was postponed.

But once these two things are almost settled, Polusalino and Sakasky will quickly be awarded the title of a real member of the Navy's upper echelons.

Kuzan, who is also a natural Devil Fruit ability, is also treated similarly, but compared to the two "old fritters" of Polusalino and Sakaski, his qualifications are still a little shallow, and he can't participate in this kind of high-level meeting for the time being. However, the entire Navy Headquarters knows that as long as there are no accidents, it is a sure thing that he will be promoted to the final admiral of the Navy Headquarters when he completes some more tasks, accumulates some qualifications, and is constantly promoted.

To get back to the point, because Polusalino assisted Magellan in completing the suppression of the prisoner riot in Impelton three days ago, the content of today's meeting is no longer about advancing the city, but the main content is to "prevent and hunt down the Golden Lion Shiki" and "go all out to catch the Roger Pirates".

The Sengoku Marshal stood at the front of the conference room, and as he spoke, he pointed at the projection screen with a metal stick similar to a teaching stick. The content presented on this curtain was discussed by the staff of the Navy Headquarters, regarding the possible movements of the Golden Lion after escaping from the advancing city.

“…… Do you have any thoughts on the possible hiding place of the Golden Lion remnant? ”

Marshal Sengoku said, "Our navy's intelligence officers and CP sequence agents have spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and they still haven't found anything...... Therefore, on the one hand, we can only increase the search again, and on the other hand, we can rely on luck and your experience in hunting down pirates......"

No one answered the question of the marshal of the Warring States - although none of the senior admirals present here were pure reckless, the vast majority of them were not generals with outstanding resourcefulness. Their so-called experience in chasing pirates is usually to rely on the Navy's information network and the maneuverability of warships to pursue them.

No matter how arrogant and ferocious the pirate group is, they are constantly chased by the navy with strong ships and cannons for ten days and half a month, and they basically stop eating......

Watching these generals either pretend to bow their heads and think (represented by Senior General Zefa), or openly pick their noses with a 'what are you talking about' expression (Lieutenant General Karp alone), or look straight ahead and don't know what to answer (Sakasky is the leader)...... The heart of the Warring States Marshal was both helpless and bitter.

At this moment, he was very envious of his old leader, when Marshal Kong was the marshal of the navy, he and Zefa were both literate and martial, Lieutenant General Crane was in charge of the rear, and below was a group of capable and practical lieutenant generals and major generals. It can be described as easy and pleasant, just give orders.

And it was his turn to be marshal...... What kind of team are these!

Even Karp is a think tank, can he be? Can't be! A pure muscular brain, don't you know if you don't have this ability?

Polusalino didn't know what the Sengoku Marshal was thinking at this time, and if he knew, he would definitely have a sense of "the Sengoku Marshal will scold Niang Xipi in the next second, and then sharply comment on the current situation of the navy......

After looking at the generals who did not speak, the attention of the marshal of the Warring States was suddenly attracted by Polusalino, who was sitting in the second row on the right side of the conference room.

(His eyes stared at the video phone bug without blinking, but he was definitely not in a daze, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly from time to time...... Yes! Polusalino, you boy! I must have thought of something crucial! ）

"Polusalino, do you have any ideas?"

The marshal of the Warring States immediately asked expectantly, "I look at your appearance, it seems that you have some thoughts......

（？？？ I got an idea??? When??? No...... I'm staring at the phone bug because I want to get into it when I see it now! In my eyes, they're all routers waiting for me to plug in! I'm just a phone worm, so I didn't think about the golden lion...... ）

In the face of the Marshal of the Warring States Period's sudden question, although Porusalino wanted to complain in his heart, he couldn't show it - everyone in the conference room turned their eyes to him, no matter how much he did his own thing on weekdays, he still had to pay a little attention at this time.

"I think it's right, what Marshal Sengoku said before was very right......"

(Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the first to echo the leadership wave has set the correct tone of the speech...... ）

Porusalino paused, as if in thought, and then continued:

"If you think about it carefully, since under the joint search of our navy and the CP sequence, no clues have been found in the remnants of the golden lion, it means that they are not hiding in an ordinary place. Thinking that the Golden Lion used to be a flying pirate, could it be that those remnants of his subordinates were hiding on an empty island in the New World? The reason we didn't find any clues was because we searched the wrong area in the first place. ”

In the eyes of the vast majority of people in this world, such a thing as an empty island is nothing more than an ethereal legend. Only a few people know that they are real and exist all over the world – and all the people in this room belong to that minority.

In fact, some of the empty islands that specialize in climate are also closely related to the world government.

"Sky Island? This is a very high possibility...... But if his remnants are hiding on an empty island, we won't be able to hunt them down......"

"In my opinion, there is no need to worry about this, Marshal Sengoku,"

Polusalino smiled faintly, looking like he had eaten the "Human Fruit Phantom Beast Species Zhuge Liang Form" and was holding the Zhizhu, "The reason why the remnants of the Golden Lion are still so valued by us is entirely because their leader is the Golden Lion, a flying sea thief. And once they get rid of the Golden Lion, they are just some second-rate pirates who can't be put on the stage. ”

"As for the Golden Lion, although this legendary sea thief managed to escape from Advance City, he paid a great price. And with my perception of him, he who has paid a terrible price will definitely not let go easily. In other words, I don't think it will be long before he comes into a head-on confrontation with our navy...... We don't have to take the initiative to find him at all, we just need to do the corresponding work to deal with him. ”

"The only thing I'm worried about right now is whether the Golden Lion will use his terrifying fluttering fruit ability to throw islands or ships at our naval headquarters...... If that's the case, then the situation is quite serious. After all, although the soldiers of our Navy Headquarters are all elites, most of them are ordinary people, and there are still a large number of soldiers' families in the Marinfando residential area......"

"Take the initiative to attack our naval headquarters, the golden lion shouldn't have the guts, right?"

An older lieutenant general in the conference room questioned, "No matter how rampant he is, no matter how reckless he is at this time, this kind of thing is ...... It's a bit exaggerated. ”

"I think Lieutenant General Yamamoto is right,"

Another lieutenant general in the conference room chimed in, "I, Horikoshi, have also had a few fights with the Golden Lion, and in my opinion, he doesn't look like someone who would do that...... Rear Admiral Polusalino's thoughts are a little under-considered, you are the one who is going to be promoted to the vice admiral of our naval headquarters, you should not have such an inconsiderate way of thinking......"

- Not everyone was happy about the promotion of Porusalino and Sakasky to Vice Admirals of the Admiralty, and these two Vice Admirals were representatives of these unhappy people. In their opinion, although the strength of Polusalino and Sakasky is reasonable, it is only because they are lucky enough to eat a powerful natural Devil Fruit. In terms of qualifications and other aspects, the two are still quite far apart.

Of course, they won't admit that they think this way because of jealousy and unwillingness.

Just like in the system that Porusalino had learned before the crossing, the number of rear admirals, vice admirals, and admirals in the Admiralty Headquarters was strictly regulated. Often, it can be less than the rule, not more.

On the one hand, this is not only due to the issue of internal cake distribution, but also because the five old stars, who represent the top level of the world government, do not want the navy to be too large and out of control.

Therefore, with the vice admirals now full, once Polusalino and Sakarsky are promoted to vice admirals, Vice Admiral Yamamoto and Vice Admiral Horikoshi, who are the lowest in strength and voice in the original group of vice admirals, will take a back seat and hand over the command of the fleet in their hands.

That's why the two of them will sing and oppose and suppress Polusalino - this is a pure conflict of interest, not a difference of concept!

To the difficulties of the two lieutenant generals, Polusalino just laughed and did not say anything, and did not react otherwise. And Sakaski, the irascible old brother, is different, although he has long secretly regarded himself and Polusalino as a community of interests, although he doesn't have much to say about the golden lion, he still has a lot to say about these two lieutenant generals who have a lot of water and have the wrong position.

"Lieutenant General Horikoshi has fought with the Golden Lion several times, admire and admire! It is worthy of being an old seniority in the Navy! Then I want to ask, is it a fight with the Golden Lion to give an order to his subordinates to fire at the Golden Lion's fleet from a long distance? If that's the case, then I'm going to apply to the Sengoku Marshal next time, and I'm going to fight Whitebeard, Beasts, and Big Mom at the same time......"

"Poof——!

"Karp! What are you laughing at!! ”

Lieutenant General Horikoshi looked angrily at Karp, who was the only one in the room laughing out loud - everyone else was holding back laughter.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry,"

Lieutenant General Karp laughed while continuing to pick his nose disappreciatively, "The old man just thought of something happy, not laughing at Lieutenant General Horikoshi ...... you"

As a real powerful person who has fought with the Golden Lion many times, Lieutenant General Karp is also extremely disgusted and amused by Lieutenant General Horikoshi's behavior of putting gold on his face. On weekdays, Karp is too lazy to look at him squarely, but this time he really can't help it (on purpose).

Lieutenant General Horikoshi was extremely annoyed and was about to continue saying something, when the door to the conference room was slammed open violently. A Shao Zuo rushed in, looking panicked.

"War, Warring States Marshal!"

"What's wrong?" Marshal Sengoku asked with a frown.

“…… Gold, Golden Lion, he attacked Sequin Island! Floated the whole island of Seken into the sky!! Now it is moving in the direction of our naval headquarters!! ”
