One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

With the triumphant return of the Warring States general, everything in Marinford is back on track.

A month later, the awarding ceremony held by the Navy Headquarters went on as scheduled.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun shone on the port of Marinford. On the shore, thousands of sailors lined up in neat rows, waiting for the upcoming ceremony.

"The Navy is the embodiment of justice, the sharp blade for the execution of justice, and the final shield for the protection of justice!"

"The flames of evil in the new world have never been extinguished, and the four seas are still not at peace. The realization of justice is still a long way to go."

"At this special time, on behalf of the Navy Headquarters, I commend the Navy for its contributions in this campaign and commend the realization of justice!"

"At the same time, I would like to advise everyone here that justice has not yet been achieved. You still need to work hard and make achievements. It is just around the corner!"

On the playground of the Marinford headquarters, Cyborg Sora's firm and loud voice echoed.

On the towering podium, Gang Gukong stood at the front, waving his right fist and speaking eloquently.

Although he is nearly sixty years old, Kong Gang is still at the peak of his strength.

The mythical beast-type devil fruit and the medical and nutritional conditions of the Navy Marshal have allowed Steel Bone Sora's peak period to continue to be extended.

This time it was a promotion to lieutenant general level, and Kong thought he needed to take action personally to boost morale.

"First of all, the person to be commended and promoted is Major General Carsente!"

"Major Admiral Carsente single-handedly stopped the Whitebeard Pirates' advance and made a significant contribution to the Navy's development strategy in the New World. Therefore, he is awarded the rank of Lieutenant General."

Gang Gukong's loud voice echoed in the conference hall, and the audience applauded loudly.

Amid the applause and cheers of the crowd, Carson, wearing a military uniform, walked step by step to the podium.

"Well done, boy, justice will be served on your hands!"

Looking at the naval rookie in front of him, Cyborg smiled with satisfaction and put the general's rank on Carson personally.

He is an unprecedented leader of the Navy and the only one in the Navy’s history who is capable of competing with top-level combat power at this age.

What's more, under the leadership of Carsent, the development of other naval soldiers of this generation has also shown a thriving trend.

This is the power of role models. When there is someone to catch up with, you will naturally be more motivated to move forward.

At the same time, after more than half a year of development, the Holy Shield Society founded by Carsent also gained a considerable degree of recognition and support from the Navy Headquarters.

It is especially welcomed and sought after among the lower-level navy and those without foundation.

"Long live justice!"

Carsent ended their conversation with a solemn military salute.

"The next person I want to commend is Colonel Borsalino, who briefly fought against the great pirates of the New World, and took the initiative to contain many of the enemy's combat power during the battle between the Sengoku generals. His achievements are commendable!"

"For this, I award Borsalino the rank of Major General. I hope he will work harder!"

Borsalino tried hard to suppress his smile as he walked up to the podium.

Major General, Borsalino has been eyeing you for a long time. The major general's performance and other related hidden benefits are much better than what he had before.

Although he had received the treatment of a major general before, the treatment alone could not be as satisfying as being promoted to this rank.

"Huhuhuhu... Marshal Kong, my salary this month should be paid according to the new standards, and I will also get a vacation..."

As the awarding of titles was going on, Borsalino spoke quietly.

"Shut up right there, or you won't get paid for the next three months!"

Cyborg's face darkened, and he swallowed the words of encouragement that were about to come to his lips. He patted Borsalino's shoulder perfunctorily and quickly asked the guy to leave.

"The next people to be awarded titles are..."

It is not easy for the headquarters to hold a rank awarding ceremony, so Gang Gukong simply took advantage of this opportunity to commend, reward and award ranks to the navy members who had made meritorious contributions in the past six months.

It is worth mentioning that the high-ranking officers and soldiers of the Holy Shield who followed Carsent on this expedition were also promoted.

Among them, members of the naval training camp such as Gion and Carlton were temporarily recorded for military merit, waiting to be given military ranks and rewards after graduating from the training camp.

The other naval officers who already had military ranks each received military merits and rewards.

The military merits of the Navy Headquarters are still very valuable, and you can choose to be promoted to a higher position after accumulating to a certain level.

Of course, generals and general candidates are excluded, and these two require hard power to support them.

You can also choose to accumulate them and exchange them for some precious items in the treasury of the Navy Headquarters.

Devil fruits, famous swords, and even treasures are almost everything available.

Although some rare, highest-level devil fruits are not available to all navy members, even obtaining a relatively common devil fruit can be considered a life-changing event for most navy members.

Carsente particularly noticed that the sniper Lylesas, who had been a little depressed a few days ago, had used all his military merits to exchange for relevant training materials on gun fighting, a top-quality sniper rifle, and twenty special steel bullets.

"Good job! Now that's how you challenge a strong person!"

Carsent was still very satisfied with Lelsas's enthusiasm.

The bold words that Lelsas said when he arrived in the country kept echoing in Carsent's mind, and Carsent had been paying attention to Lelsas these days.

It depends on whether he is simply attracted by the Death God Simonte and is just having a three-minute enthusiasm, or whether he really intends to improve himself and has the courage to face the Dark Night Death God who has terrified countless people in the New World ten years later.

Judging from the current results, Lyersus is really working hard to improve himself and become stronger at all costs.

"Don't let me down, Lyersus..."

Carsente looked at the receding figure and hummed quietly.

……

After the inauguration ceremony, Carsent came to the office of General Warring States.

"You want a vacation, right? No problem!"

Faced with the application submitted by Carson, Zhan Guo readily approved it.

In fact, when it comes to things like vacation, Admiral Sengoku is quite tolerant. Except for Garp's application, he basically approved everyone else's.

However, perhaps Borsalino will have to be added in the near future. After all, Borsalino's mixed attributes have gradually been revealed.

He had applied for leave three times in just half a year, and as far as Carsen knew, he was planning to apply for a fourth leave in a few days.

"Lieutenant General Carson... Lieutenant General, as the Lieutenant General of this headquarters, you should also consider the future strategic arrangements. Do you plan to go to the Four Seas region to suppress one party, or do you want to go to a naval base in the New World?"

"You don't need to tell me this question now. I will try my best to arrange it for you after my vacation is over."

Zhan Guo looked at the high-spirited young man in front of him and felt a little dazed.

So young, a 20-year-old vice admiral of the navy. When I became a vice admiral, I was already in my 30s.

The Vice Admiral is considered an absolute senior official in the Navy Headquarters and can truly participate in the decision-making power of the Navy Headquarters.

"So young! It seems that I am really old!"

He was just forty years old, a time of high spirits and vigor, but in front of Carsent, Zhan Guo already felt a little tired.
