One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Marine Headquarters Marineford:

In the Admiral's office, Zhan Guo sat in the position that was originally occupied by Gang Gu Kong. In front of him were piles of documents, and next to him was a goat eating the waste paper that Zhan Guo threw over.

Since returning to the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku has taken over the job of the Navy Admiral. He is troubled by various things, such as the Navy's defeat and the Admiral's death in battle.

He originally thought that even if he wanted to become the Admiral of the Navy, he would have to wait at least five or six years, but he did not expect that he would be hastily appointed because the Admiral was killed.

This is just like when the previous Admiral Black was killed by Rocks, and Gunbone Kong took over in a hurry!

"Bulu Bulu!!!"

While Sengoku was processing documents, the phone on his desk rang. He saw the head portrait and knew it was the Five Elder Stars, Saint Satan!

"Sengoku, Kong was killed. From now on, you will be the Admiral of the Navy. I have sent someone over. Let's hold the ceremony for the Admiral's inauguration today!"

Saint Sartan spoke calmly, as if the death of a naval admiral was a trivial matter to him and that replacing him would have no impact.

"Your Excellency Saint Sartan, the navy was defeated this time, and a large amount of compensation is needed. The navy also suffered heavy losses, and a huge amount of military expansion funds are needed."

"There are many reasons for this defeat. One of the reasons is that our weapons are too different from those of the Promise Pirates. We need to purchase more powerful weapons."

Although Sengoku wanted to question the Five Elders, why Marshal Sora was killed by Redfield and no one from the World Government came to support him.

But he knew that his questioning was completely meaningless. The Five Elders would never admit any mistakes, let alone compensate him for anything.

Therefore, he could only make the Five Elders bleed from another angle, or in other words, let the Five Elders allocate funds to restore the navy's strength.

Now he finally understood why Kong Gangu had to be so humble in front of the Five Elders. It was all because the Five Elders controlled the economic lifeline of the navy, and all military expenditures were in the hands of the Five Elders.

If the navy wants to develop, it cannot do without the Five Elders and the World Government. Otherwise, without financial support, the navy cannot pay military expenses, pensions, etc. If the funding chain is broken, the navy will soon fall apart.

"The most important thing now is that you take office and then stabilize the morale of the military and the current navy, rather than expanding the army or anything like that."

"We have already distributed this year's military budget. There must be some money in the Treasury and Navy Finance Departments. You can use that money first."

"We will start disbursing military funds next year after the gold from heaven is delivered!"

After Saint Satan finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving Zhan Guo any chance to continue speaking.

Their world government is now restricted by the member states in the Seal of Berry, and is already short of funds. How could they possibly have extra money for the navy?

"asshole!"

After the phone call was disconnected, Zhan Guo angrily slapped the table in front of him and broke it, and a pile of documents were scattered on the ground.

"Marshal, the inauguration ceremony is ready and can begin at any time."

At this moment, a marine outside came running in to report, but was startled by the slap from Zhan Guo.

"I understand. I'll go now."

Zhan Guo sighed.

It's so damn hard for him to be a naval admiral.

The feeling of having one's throat locked was extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't get angry at the person who locked it up. In two words, it was aggrieved!

On the Marinford Square, more than 40,000 marines stood solemnly. They should have been glorious, but their emotions were gloomy and sad.

Even Admiral Zefa and Vice Admiral Garp felt very heavy-hearted, because this was the second time they had participated in such a ceremony. They had experienced the same humiliation twice!

With the appearance of Sengoku, all the marines present turned their eyes to him. Now Sengoku is the benchmark for the entire navy.

Everyone can have a gloomy face and a heavy heart, but as a naval admiral, he absolutely cannot show any such emotion.

"My dear colleagues, I am the current Admiral of the Navy, Sengoku. I believe you all know that the former Admiral, Kong Kouga, unfortunately died in the line of duty."

"We already know who murdered Marshal Sora, and we are ready to capture him and bring him to where I am standing now, and publicly execute him in front of all our navy!!"

"Catch the murderer, justice will prevail!"

When Zhan Guo spoke, his tone was passionate and loud, and he successfully resonated with everyone present.

"Catch the murderer, justice will prevail!"

"Catch the murderer, justice will prevail!"

"Catch the murderer, justice will prevail!"

"."

Roars like roars kept coming out, dispelling the previous sad and heavy atmosphere.

Looking at the marines below whose fighting spirit had been reawakened, Sengoku couldn't help but feel relieved.

Now is the period of decline of the navy. If even the faith of the navy under your command is depressed, then the navy will be in a trough for an unknown period of time.

At least now, the navy's fighting spirit and faith have been awakened by diverting hatred.

As for the matter of arresting the Red Earl, that was all made up by him to deceive people.

Since killing Kong, the Red Earl has been hiding in the Calm Belt. The Navy and the World Government cannot find any trace of the Red Earl.

"Later, we'll have Garp go out and catch the pirates in the name of capturing the Red Earl!"

Zhan Guo thought to himself.

The navy is now out of manpower. Admiral Zefa has retired and Garp is unwilling to promote him to admiral.

He is a naval marshal, but he doesn't even have a naval admiral under him. He can be said to be a lonely man.

"Fortunately, the Navy has just given birth to two young monster marines who will be able to take on major responsibilities in four or five years."

When Sengoku looked down, he saw two young marines he was very familiar with, they were Sakaski and Polsalino. He had seen the growth and potential of these two and believed they were the future admirals.

Wano Country:

Xia Qi opened the passage to the calm zone refuge island, and then one by one the little guys ran out of the mirror excitedly.

Esdeath and Wei Zhuang, who were walking in the front, were already 1.5 or 1.6 meters tall, and they were only 14 years old.

The two youngest children, Ross and Asuna, were only two years old, and they ran out with their tiny arms and legs, following their older brothers and sisters.

"Daddy, daddy, hug, hug, hug!!"

The youngest two, Roz and Asuna, hadn't seen their father for seven or eight days, so when they ran out and saw Li Yuan, they ran over excitedly with their legs padded out.

"Hey, aren't these my lovely Ross and Asuna? How are you doing? Have you been listening to your brother and sister while daddy is away?"

Li Yuan picked up the two little guys, one in each hand, and spoke lovingly.

"Dad, dad, I'm very obedient. My brothers and sisters even took me to catch pheasants for fun."

"Dad, dad, I'm also very obedient. Brother Ares has taught me how to practice boxing."

Ross and Asuna rolled their eyes and started showing off.

Li Yuan was playing with the two little guys, but Wei Zhuang and the others, as older brothers and sisters, were no longer children. They did not come up to ask for a hug like Roz did. In a word, the children had grown up and were no longer close to their father.

"mother!!!"

Although the nine-year-old Ares is no longer close to Li Yuan, he is still quite dependent on his mother Yadina.

"Ares, stop being such a spoiled brat. Your father has what you want. You should go find him."

Yadina looked helplessly at her son who was shaking his arms.

Ares was her son, so how could she, as a mother, not know what her son was thinking?

"Oh? Ares, what do you want? Why don't you dare to come to me, but go to your mother to act like a spoiled child?"

Li Yuan held Ross and Asuna in his arms and walked in front of Yadina, looking at Ares's coquettish look with amusement.

When Ares was little, he was even more attached to him than Ross and Asuna.

Now that he's grown up, he even goes to his mom and dad to ask for things. This son is too...

"Hehe, brother, be shy and act coquettishly with Aunt Yadina!"

"That's right, my brother doesn't look for my father but my mother. It's so embarrassing!"

Ross and Asuna finally got a chance to watch their brother digest the food and made faces at him, making Ares so angry that he wanted to beat them up.

"Ares, your father is right here. If you want something, why don't you just ask? Mommy doesn't have what you want."

Yadina touched Ares's little head and smiled.

"Dad, I also want to eat the devil fruit and become a special ability user like my brother and sister."

Ares hesitated for a long time before he said it.

Li Yuan had already said that he would give Ares the devil fruit when he was ten years old.

But when the little guy saw that his older brothers and sisters had such magical abilities, he naturally didn't want to wait any longer. After all, nine and ten years old were almost the same, so he wanted to eat in advance.

"I thought it was something else, it turns out it's this. No problem, since you want to eat it, I'll give it to you."

Li Yuan smiled.

The devil fruit in his hand was originally prepared for his own child. Since the child wanted to eat it, there was no reason for him to refuse.

"Roz, Asuna, come here, mommy will hug you."

Tian Yueshi knew that Li Yuan was going to get something, so he walked over to Li Yuan and carried Ross and Asuna over.

Ross and Asuna obviously liked their mother more. Before Tian Yueshi even reached out his hand, the two kids struggled to jump out of Li Yuan's embrace and jumped into their mother's arms.

"Ares, this is a list of all the devil fruits I have collected. Please choose one."

Li Yuan returned to the room and took out the list of devil fruits and some powerful devil fruits, and gave them to Ares to choose.

"Superman series: Door-door fruit, plasma fruit, comet fruit, combination fruit, box-box fruit, bag-bag fruit."

"Natural type: Steam fruit."

"Ancient animal species: Dark night bat form, iron-feathered giant eagle form."

At the top of the list are the devil fruits that Li Yuan believes to be more powerful.
