The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Marshal Zhan Guo is dead?!

This was like a bolt from the blue that struck all the navy. In a battle called the Battle of Marineford, even the navy marshal died gloriously. One can imagine how tragic that battle was.

The World Government couldn't even afford to pay the post-war pensions. How many elite naval soldiers died in the war? Ten thousand? Fifty thousand? Or a hundred thousand!?

No wonder the navy five years later would allow a former pirate to join. Even if the strength of the demon Akin is worthy of recognition, this completely goes against the justice of the current navy. They can't even adapt to the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Allowing a pirate with a criminal record to join the navy is even more painful than killing these people.

Naval Headquarters Marineford

As usual, some soldiers were having lunch in the navy cafeteria and watching the information exploding on the screen. These people were so shocked that they forgot what to say and they all looked at a blonde girl. There were plates piled in front of Altria, and the short girl, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, seemed to have an endless stomach and was constantly putting food into her mouth.

Is this foodie the future acting marshal?

For a moment, everyone found it hard to accept it. Artoria had just joined the navy, and although she was given the title of admiral candidate, her contribution to the navy was seriously insufficient. These things required time to accumulate.

In terms of seniority, even if Marshal Sengoku died in the Battle of Marineford, the three admirals below him in rank would be the heirs to the position of Marshal of the Navy. In terms of seniority, how could this blonde girl be better than Admiral Akainu, Admiral Kizaru, and Admiral Aokiji?

"Gion, if you don't want to eat the meat in front of you, don't waste it. Let me eat it."

Altria is not blind. Although she saw the future of the light curtain, she did not react at all. She was still the beautiful girl who loved to eat.

"I don't have much appetite, you can take whatever you want to eat."

"Then I'm not welcome."

Gion looked at the beautiful girl serving dishes in front of him. He couldn't see any trace of a naval admiral in her. Could a girl like this who could eat and sleep well really lead the navy in the future?

But Smoker, an unruly troublemaker, actually had a very good impression of the acting marshal in the future. The admiral named Akin had an expression of admiration when he mentioned the name of Altria. How could the two future admirals be so impressed? Was this acting marshal really so charming?

"If the salary can really be doubled, and I can also take a month's paid vacation, I fully agree that Altria should be the acting marshal. This future is really scary."

Borsalino and other senior naval officials were in the war room. When he thought about his future salary doubling, he became more active. If Marshal Sengoku could pay him more, Admiral Kizaru could take less advantage of the situation.

"Establish the broadest united front and unite all forces that can be united. Can pirates also unite?" Vice Admiral Tsuru leaned on his arm and thought about the meaning of this sentence. She did not expect that such philosophical words would be said by a girl like Altria.

"In the future, the acting admiral has really brought some changes to the Navy"

"It's fine if a former pirate joins the navy, but I will never agree to promote him to the rank of admiral in the future."

Kuzan and Sakaski have completely opposite views, just like their own justice, both facing each other and heading further away, two parallel lines that can never cross.

In the face of this pessimistic future, Garp still had a smile on his face, "Even Sengoku died in the battle, and I'm probably going to die in the Battle of Marineford as well. What kind of opponent are we going to face that will make the navy pay such a heavy price?"

Admiral Sengoku of the Navy did not speak a word from beginning to end, his brows were almost twisted together. It was a soldier's duty to sacrifice on the battlefield. He did not care too much about his own death. He wanted to know more about what would happen to the navy in the future.

Could it be that his wrong decision led to the navy's defeat in the Battle of Marineford, not only costing his own life, but also causing more navy to be buried with him? This blow, which has not yet happened, makes the elderly man a little panicked.

Zhan Guo has been in charge of the navy for so long, but in fact he has long wanted to stop doing it. The justice that once dominated the world has long been forgotten by him and he has turned it into a decoration in the marshal's office. His heroic spirit has been eroded bit by bit in one compromise after another, and he has become the best tool of the world government.

However, Zhan Guo soon saw something that surprised him. The justice that ruled the world was inherited by a golden-haired girl from Altria.

"With money and people, the navy is becoming more and more powerful. A few days ago, I received an internal message that Vice Admiral Tsuru actually took the lead in refuting the World Government's orders. This has never happened before."

Admiral Smoker's words made Akin think deeply. The latter had only joined the navy for a few years, and as a former pirate he knew very little about the mess between the navy and the World Government.

"Were all the navy so cowardly in the past? I thought the navy saying no to the World Government was just a formality."

Smoker's resentment towards the former navy was written all over his face, "How is this possible? It turns out the navy is just a dog in the hands of the World Government, summoned and dismissed at will. If you do a good job, there may be no reward. If you mess up, cutting funding is the lightest punishment. In the previous navy, those who maintained justice were rare animals."

The other party's words made Ajin laugh. He never expected that this naval admiral with a good family background would complain about his old boss and his skills were not inferior to his former boss.

Afterwards, the future Smoker seemed to open up, using his own experience as an example to describe the shortcomings and darkness of the former navy.

After all, Smoker is also a user of the ability of a nature-type fruit, and his only contact in the navy is his teacher Zephyr. But ever since what happened to this teacher, his spirit has become decadent, and it is estimated that the justice of not killing that he has always maintained will also change.

After working in the navy for so many years, he was finally squeezed out and sent to Roge Town in the East China Sea to become a colonel. No one would believe it if he told others that he was not squeezed out. Anyone with some connections would be transferred to the navy headquarters. Only in the navy headquarters can one be promoted quickly in rank. These sailors who were sent out were like those raised by a stepmother.

Not only is the military budget blocked by the Navy Headquarters, but the replenishment of personnel and weapons is also a problem. It is also no wonder that the navy, which is far away from the Navy Headquarters, is desperately exploiting the people on the island in their garrisons.

Without money, even the soldiers under your command will not listen to you. Without money, you cannot establish connections with higher-ups. You will have to work in a small place for the rest of your life, and any passion you have will be worn away by reality.

Seeing that everyone around him was his own people, Smoker opened up his mouth and said, "In the past, the mainstream ideology of the navy was to get promoted and make money. As for justice, it was just business in my opinion. Starting from the distribution bases, the navy headquarters was eroded bit by bit. The navy in the past was really rotten."
