Chapter 232: Polusalino: Finally, it's finally a general! (Above)
Time is the kind of thing that will pass wildly if you don't pay attention to it, and three years have passed since the Navy formed a "strategic flickering team."
The present time is 1507 in the Haiyuan calendar.
Polusalino is forty years old.
Whether it is placed before he crosses over or after crossing, the age of forty is undoubtedly a symbol of the pinnacle of life for a normal man. His physical strength, spirit, and life experience...... All sides will maintain an absolutely strong posture.
Soβ
"Colonel, why are you still in the mood to read the newspaper slowly?"
The location is the office of Polusalino, a super-large underground facility called the "Hive", beneath the Marinfando Fortress building. Polusalino sat behind his desk, looking at the newspaper in a leisurely manner, and in front of the desk, the beautiful girl wordlessly cleaned the half-full ashtray on his desk, and the plain white palm assumed a strange pose.
"Your general's promotion ceremony is about to begin, and you haven't even changed your clothes yet......"
The girl was wearing a black and white skirt uniform, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose - more like a CP elite who should appear on Justice Island than Marin Fando of the Navy Headquarters.
"Little Robin, you better do it directly, just use the joint skills that Lieutenant General Crane taught you before, the most ferocious move, the colonel wants to test you......"
Behind the girl, a peach-like wife persuaded little Robin.
Three years have passed, and the girls around Polusalino have also changed a lot - Robin has really become a charming girl, and together with the slightly older Gion, they have become the most famous "sister flowers" of the Navy Headquarters; Major General Fina has the demeanor of a beautiful wife in every gesture; Even An, who didn't appear here at this time because she was in kindergarten, has become an innocent and cute little Lori.
"Hey, don't you arch the fire, Fina......"
Polusalino put down the newspaper and very quickly took out a piece of cake that he had specially served from the third drawer converted into a Xiaoice box and placed it on Robin's hand, attracting the latter's attention and relieving her of the hand posture of preparing for activation.
"Wow, Colonel, this sweetness is great!"
Robin licked the cream a little, and suddenly Meimei's eyes narrowed - although she liked cakes, only the kind of cakes that were not too sweet were her favorites.
"This is what I left for you~"
Like a cat, Polusalino stood up, touched Robin's head dotingly, and then looked at Major General Fina, who took the initiative to say without him opening his mouth:
"Lieutenant General Sakasky and Lieutenant General Kuzan are already in place, and the two of them almost fought on the other side of the podium just now."
"Hmm, it looks like it's time for me to be the main character,"
Polusalino stroked his chin, "Fina, bring me my melons and spoons......"
β¦β¦
As the seat of the naval headquarters, Marin Vando is known as a symbol of peace after the arrival of the era of pirates. It is the Navy's proudest fortress of justice, and it is also the most "martial" area in the whole world.
However, unlike in the past, this busy military port has stopped its daily operations today.
Not only that, but the heavily guarded Orris Plaza has a rare part of the reception area for the flocking press corps to stop.
That's right, after the news came out that the lieutenant generals of the three natural monsters of the Navy Headquarters were going to be collectively promoted to admiral, all the media organizations on the sea that had a little prestige and fame submitted applications to the world government for observation and interviews as soon as possible.
Although the application criteria are very strict, and there is a large "application fee" to be paid, these journalists still flock to it, like a vicious sea king who smells blood.
After all, every journalist wants to make a big news, and the navy, as the largest and most powerful military organization in the world, can be regarded as big news in every move, not to mention the promotion of three generals who represent the absolute top.
By the way, the "World Economic News Service", with "Big News" Morgans as the surface president, unsurprisingly got the first broadcast rights of the promotion ceremony -- after this news was released, its newspaper subscriptions rose by 270 percent the next day, which made those small newspapers simply crazy with jealousy.
However, envy is jealousy, and it is good enough to be able to visit Marinfando, the final fortress of the navy, for the vast majority of ordinary journalists, whether it is the magnificent military industrial buildings, the dense coastal defense facilities, or the ubiquitous naval elite...... All of them made their hearts surge, and their thoughts flowed.
Of course, as they expected, the five old stars were not present in person. These supreme rulers of the world government do not seem to leave the Holy Land of Mary Joy, no matter what happens in the world.
But after all, this is a major incident for the navy, and the navy is the largest violent agency under the command of the world government, so as the representatives of the five old stars, several CP0 ministers representing the will of the Tianlong people arrived at Port No. 1 with their subordinates early in the morning.
Moreover, just like when Ace was executed in the original plot, the staff of the Navy Headquarters specially customized several high platforms this time, which were built behind Orlis Square, which was enough to accommodate 100,000 troops.
These arrangements, these scenes, are all broadcast live to all parts of the world simultaneously through the phone bugs that have been placed for a long time.
β¦β¦
In the second half of the New World, the territorial waters of the Whitebeard Pirates are theoretically the closest to the One Piece Treasure Trodge.
Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, was lazily lying on a huge special seat, squinting at the screen and gulping down wine.
Although both his movements and his demeanor showed that he did not pay much attention to the Navy Headquarters, there was an inexplicable color in his eyes.
"The imp in charge of the lights, the imp who makes frozen drinks, the imp who lights cakes and candles......"
Whitebeard drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp and grinned: "I wonder how many cowards will be scared by you?" The three major admirals of the Navy Headquarters...... Goloooo β
As he spoke, he lowered the bowl in his right hand and motioned for Marco to fill himself upβthe ship's doctor pouted, but did so.
Today's situation is special, and he doesn't plan to affect his father's drinking.
β¦β¦
Whitebeard did something similar to Whitebeard's actions along with the other three Pirate Emperors.
Wano Country, Onijima.
The god-like body sat on the ground so casually, and directly in front of Kaido was a large live screen specially made by the chief scientist of the Hundred Beast Pirates, "Plague" Quinn.
Although he is usually drunk, Kaido is very awake today, his nostrils are spurting, his eyes wide, trying to find a certain yellow monkey in the live broadcast screen.
"Polusalino ......"
β¦β¦
Totland Sea, Cake Island.
Charlotte Lingling was sitting with her son and daughter in front of a huge tea table full of snacks and drinks, watching the same large live screen as Kaido.
Charlotte Katakuri, the highest masterpiece of the Charlotte family and the owner of the top sight and knowledge, did not sit at the table, but stood like a docent, analyzing the details that her family had not noticed:
"The main members are all from the Grammys, the music country of the West Sea, and although they are indispensable for every celebration of the World Government, this time the number of people they attended was obviously more than doubled......"
"In other words, it's not just a celebration anymore......
β¦β¦
Compared with the other three Pirate Emperors, the painting style is obviously closer to that of ordinary people, the "red-haired" Shanks, and his companions, are really just gathered on the "Redvoss" at this time, surrounded by a phone bug in twos and threes.
Vice-Captain Ben Beckman and Shanks himself got together.
"There is a problem with the number of military bands, the sailors responsible for maintaining order on the scene are all equipped with weapons, and the port of Orris is very empty......"
Like Katakuri, Beckman noticed a lot of the details that weren't right in the live footage, but he noticed more and therefore came to a conclusion with more confidence:
"Where is the Navy holding a promotion ceremony for the admiral, it is clearly to review the army!"
β¦β¦
"Hey! Who made you mess with the angle! Lock the picture of that place for me! Do you hear that?! β
In the outermost press area of the Marin Fando Circle, a bald eagle in a tuxedo and top hat - the director of the World Economic News Agency, "Big News" Morgans is scolding the young announcer with a video phone bug next to him.
Seeing that Morgans was losing his temper, the rest of the small coffee reporters in the reporter area subconsciously shrank back half a step.
Although he was not recognized by the world government and the vast majority of ordinary people like the "Pirate Emperor", Morgan actually had the nickname "News Emperor" in the circles of media practitioners - a title that not only expressed the respect and yearning of his peers, but also showed their fear of him.
(Humph!) Just like you, you still want to make big news? οΌ
Morgans was able to see the unbearable performance of his peers, but he didn't react much, just sneered and looked in the direction of the stage again with a fanatical expression.
He had already learned the truth about the promotion ceremony from Polusalino, so he took more than 20 announcers to Marin Fando in person, in order to present the news to the world in a more explosive state!
β¦β¦
The performance of the military band reached a climax, and a stout old man with a mohican head took the lead on the high stage of the ceremony.
Although he didn't make much movement, just stood there quietly, but the momentum of not being angry and arrogant was difficult to ignore, and even his scalp was numb.
ββ¦β¦ Why is it the commander-in-chief of the whole army? β
Finally, a reporter realized that something was wrong - although the Air Force has a higher status as the commander of the whole army, shouldn't the promotion of the admiral be presided over by the current supreme commander of the Navy, Marshal Sengoku?
Next up are the three CP0 ministers, who slowly descend from the sky and are dressed almost no differently from ordinary CP0, except that the masks on their faces are more mysterious and luxurious.
β¦β¦
"Hee-hee-hee-hee! CP0 big shots? I want to make you all zombies! β
Far away in a secret base of the East China Sea Revolutionary Army, "Moonlight" Moria, in a dark room, showed a perverted smile at the phone bug screen - in the past hijacking the heavenly gold, he had dealt with ordinary CP0s, so he probably understood the identity of these ministers now. However, due to Kuzan's timely assistance at that time, he was unable to collect those valuable zombie materials, which was a big regret in his life.
β¦β¦
After the Air Force Commander and CP0 Ministers, who represent the world government, took the lead, the Marshal of the Warring States Period, who had been waiting behind the high platform, slowly walked up the stairs. His pace is steady and unhurried.
The Warring States Marshal walked to his big brother, the commander of the air, nodded to the other party, took the amplification phone worm from the CP0 minister in the lead, and then took a step forward.
The marshal of the Warring States with a solemn expression looked around at the naval elites waiting under the high platform, as well as the crazy active flash lights on the outermost side of the square, and took a deep breath:
"The celebration begins!"
With the order of the Marshal of the Warring States -
"What's going on? Why is the picture shaking? β
In the media shooting area, a reporter holding a camera and preparing to capture the picture raised his head in surprise, "Is it my delusion?" β
"No, I feel it too!"
"What's going on? Marin Vando earthquake? β
More and more journalists are starting to talk to each other.
Morgans, who was about to get the order list of the celebration program from Polusalino, saw this, and mysteriously hooked the corners of his mouth:
"Haven't you guys ever seen a giant?"
ββ¦β¦ Giant?! β
"Do you mean ......?!"
Some of the reporters who finally reacted widened their eyes at this moment - behind the tall Marinfando fortress building, even a monster nearly 200 meters tall like San Juan Wolf could be hidden, not to mention the warriors of Elbaf whose per capita height was only "a few tens of meters".
And as they walked into Orix Squareβ
"Sure enough, it's a giant!"
"I knew it! The navy must have built a giant army!"
Many reporters could no longer hold back their surprise, and turned their bodies to the camera with the microphone and started the live broadcast.
But even some of the old reporters who have seen a lot of big news and talked and laughed with many big people can't help but be amazed, and they count them one by one with trembling fingers:
"Twenty ...... Isn't that right, thirty?! β
"Why are there so many giants in the navy?!"
"Elbaf orthodoxy is actually in Marinfando?!"
Thirty Giant Warriors walked out of the rear of the headquarters fortress with heavy steps, and these giants who were as majestic as mountains were all with the rank of lieutenant general of the headquarters, and they directly showed the whole world what unreasonable power is.
As for why there are so many of them?
- Isn't it this day that Polusalino went to recruit the captains of the former giant pirates, "Red Oni" and "Blue Oni", on behalf of the World Government?
