Chapter 416

“Resign as Marshal Marine?”

Sengoku’s words surprised both Five Elders and Sora. Although Five Elders did have such thoughts and plans, they were put forward by Sengoku himself, and the meaning was different.

Sengoku said: “Yes, I have an unshirkable responsibility in this war. The victory of the war is entirely dependent on everyone’s bloody struggle. I must give everyone a satisfactory explanation and resign from the position of Marshal Marine. It is myself. The decision was made after thinking about it for a long time.”

The Five Elders looked at each other. Their previous idea was to let Sengoku step down as Marshal Marine, but now Sengoku took the initiative, and they won’t be able to use it if they are prepared. It’s just that Sengoku has been Marshal Marine for twenty years after all. There is no shortage, prestige is enough, even they can not easily decide whether Sengoku will go or stay.

Sora saw that Five Elders did not speak, but changed the subject very keenly. He said to Akainu: “Sakazuki, this victory in the war, your contribution is the greatest, very good, and I did not live up to my expectations of you.”

Akainu was mentioned by him. It is considered his own. In his opinion, Akainu may have shortcomings of one kind or another, but he has basically never let him down. Especially in this battle to the top, Akainu’s performance is even more amazing. , If it were not for Akainu’s strength, I am afraid that Marine would not be so easy to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, and it is hard to say whether it can even kill Whitebeard.

“Yes, Sakazuki, you did a good job this time. It didn’t disappoint us, and it also contributed to the prestige of the World government.”



Five Elders was also very satisfied with what Akainu did. It was the honor of the World government to destroy Whitebeard.

Akainu was very modest this time and said, “This is what I should do, but unfortunately I didn’t leave the red hair. If it can get rid of the red hair, then the situation will be different now.”

The corner of Sengoku’s eyes jumped, and Sora just changed the subject, but Akainu turned back in a blink of an eye. This was blocking him.

Five Elders and Sora glanced at Sengoku and Akainu. Of course, they knew the contradiction between the two people very well, but they never wanted to stop it, because this is what they like to see, a military organization as big as Marine. , If it is up and down Isshin, it will make them jealous and uneasy.

Now Akainu is not in harmony with Sengoku, which is very beneficial to balance the forces within Marine, but Five Elders is more at ease.

The old bald star with a knife said solemnly: “The red hair is indeed too arrogant. It is a loss to not get rid of him this time.”

“Well, it’s not the time to talk about this, Sengoku, you report to us the specific process and losses of this war.” The old star in black suit and white curly hair interrupted.

Sengoku calmed down for a while, and then began to report the specific situation of the war, reporting for a full hour.

After everything was reported, Sengoku once again mentioned his resignation as Marshal Marine, and this time, Five Elders did not refuse.

“Sengoku, since you want to step down as Marshal Marine, you must be recommended by a suitable candidate. After all, Marine, as the largest military organization in the sea, cannot be guarded by Marshal Marine.”

Sengoku was obviously well prepared. He said, “Marine Admiral Kuzan has a calm temperament, a veteran, and prestigious among Marine. I recommend Kuzan to take over as Marine Marshal.”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the few people present changed. Five Elders and Sora were very surprised, while Akainu’s faces were pale.

“Kuzan?”

Five Elders are all very strange. Originally they thought Sengoku would recommend Kizaru. After all, Kizaru’s qualifications are much older than Aokiji, and he is also a member of Sengoku, but they didn’t expect Sengoku to mention Aokiji without mentioning Kizaru.

“Is Kuzan younger?”

Sengoku replied: “Five Elders, Kuzan is the youngest of the three Marine Admiral, but he is more suitable for Marine justice. Let him become Marine Marshal, it will definitely improve Marine’s morale, and Kuzan talent Penultimate , He will do everything, and he is very stable in dealing with others. He is the most suitable candidate.”

Five Elders is noncommittal, and Sora is also dissatisfied. Although he has not asked about Marine’s affairs for many years, he still knows the internal situation of Marine very well. He knows why Sengoku recommends Aokiji because Aokiji is a member of Sengoku. It’s not an exaggeration to be Sengoku’s successor to justice.

Sengoku now wants Aokiji to take over as Marshal Marine, which means that in the next few decades, if nothing else, Master Marine, a force of Sengoku, is not a good thing for him.

As for the Five Elders, they don’t really care who takes over as Marshal Marine. After all, Marine is a military organization belonging to the World government. Anyone who takes over as Marshal Marine must be controlled by them.

It’s just that, but Sengoku came up to recommend Aokiji. Of course, they couldn’t agree with them. They asked Sengoku only because Sengoku is now Marine Marshal and knows the Marine situation best, but he only has the right to propose to the next Marshal Marine. , The final decision is in their hands.

The old star with white curly hair suddenly asked Akainu, “Sakazuki, Sengoku proposed that Kuzan become Marshal Marine. What do you think of this?”

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes turned to Akainu, but Sengoku had an unsightly face, and asked Akainu, “Is it necessary to say the result? I would definitely not agree, but he also understood the meaning of Five Elders, so he didn’t speak.

When asked by Five Elders, Akainu didn’t panic either, and replied calmly: “Kuzan is indeed a very talented person. If it’s a peaceful time, let him become Marine’s marshal and command Marine. That’s a problem. Nothing.”

When he said this, he paused. Five Elders, Sora and Sengoku were surprised when they heard what Akainu said, but it was only for a moment, they all knew that Akainu hadn’t finished.

Sure enough, Akainu continued: “But the situation on the sea is not peaceful at all, and the pirates are raging. New World has a pirate overlord who dominates the New World, completely ignoring our Marine and World government, these reactionary pirate forces. , Must be treated with Thunder’s means, and must not be merciless.”

“At this point, I think Kuzan is more indecisive. I admit that he has the determination to protect the people, but whether he has the faith and confidence to fight the pirate Four Emperors or not, I can’t guarantee.”

“And if the Four Emperors cannot be eliminated, then the power of the pirates will never perish. Marshal Sengoku said that Kuzan’s methods are prudent, but to put it another way, it can also be said that it is not firm enough. I think treating the pirates, We should adopt a fierce attitude. Only in this way can we show the power of Marine, maintain the face of the world government, and make it more convenient for the world government to rule the sea.”

“So, my opinion is that Kuzan is enough to be Marine Admiral, but it is not yet time to be Marine Marshal.”

All the previous words are just foreshadowing. The last sentence was the original intention of Akainu. After Sengoku heard the last sentence, his face was even more ugly, because this sentence was what he said to Akainu not long ago, but now it is Akainu was used as a killer against Aokiji becoming a marshal.
