Chapter 231: Marine Reward? Public Execution!

"Sakazuki!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru said with a cold expression: "Don't bring out such tactics to embarrass yourself!"

There are factional conflicts within Marine Headquarters as well.

Compared to the lazy Aokiji and Borsalino, who treats his job like clocking in, Sakazuki, with his iron-blooded hawk style, is the Marine Admiral with the most supporters among the lower ranks.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to reverse the situation where the Five Elders want Aokiji to serve as Fleet Admiral in the future.

"I don't understand."

Naturally, Sakazuki would not admit that he had secretly dispatched his personal guards to call out.

If things go well, there might be an unexpected surprise; as long as he doesn't admit it, there will be no loss even if Vice Admiral Tsuru discovers it.

"Should we choose Admiral Aokiji, or the old Hero Garp?"

"Shouldn't Smoker be the number one in the Navy right now?"

The noisy discussion made Vice Admiral Tsuru frown, and she asked: "Mr. Fang Yi, can Fleet Admiral Sengoku draw the prize?"

Since the factions cannot reach a unified conclusion, leaving it to the Fleet Admiral is the best decision.

"No."

Fang Yi was very patient and explained: "Only by obtaining the Contract Fruit and becoming a player can one participate in game activities. Although Sengoku became a player by selling Marine bases, he did not participate in this game activity in the East Blue."

To transfer the qualification for the prize draw for hunting the Pollution Lord, the transferee must at least have Contribution Value from fighting the Pollution Lord.

What should be done about this?

Vice Admiral Tsuru frowned.

The eyes of the high-ranking Navy officials were all fixed tightly on her. As a Staff Officer, although Tsuru is a Vice Admiral, she possesses the on-site decision-making power of a Fleet Admiral.

Her words will determine the future landscape of the Navy.

Only Garp hadn't realized this yet, still eating his rice crackers and donuts unhurriedly.

Fang Yi knew very well the concerns in Vice Admiral Tsuru's heart.

Even when besieged by tens of thousands of players, Vice Admiral Tsuru had never shown such a conflicted appearance.

It is the same for any force; uneven distribution of resources is the most important reason for the disintegration of morale, especially on the eve of a great war, which is very likely to affect the outcome of the battle.

"Since that is the case, why not leave it to the will of the Navy?"

Seeing Vice Admiral Tsuru hesitating,

Fang Yi reached out and gently pointed to the center of the Marine camp.

All the Marines who had participated in the hunting of the Pollution Lord lit up with a faint white light, carrying a weak force, trying to push the pointer of the disk forward.

"The collective will of 8,764 Marines will decide the reward the Navy can draw, how about that?"

This method is undoubtedly a way to perfectly ignore the Marine factions.

Everyone exerts effort together, and no one can hoard it privately.

"Mr. Fang Yi, the drawn prize is related to the will and wishes of the drawer. With such a massive number of drawers, will it interfere with the prize?"

"The final prize depends on the collective will of the Navy."

Fang Yi answered politely: "If the Navy's will is to rule the world, and even the lowest-ranking soldiers have the same thought, the prize drawn will be related to ruling the world."

"If the Navy's will is to protect the world, then they will also be able to get a prize that is in harmony with that will."

This group-will draw mode is the same as a public execution.

Doesn't Marine Headquarters always advertise that they are guarding the peace of the Si Hai?

Then now is the time to witness that will.

If any prize drawn has nothing to do with protection, every word Marine Headquarters has said in the past will be like a slap in their own faces.

Even Vice Admiral Tsuru had no confidence in her heart.

She believes in the majority of excellent Marine soldiers, but it is impossible to believe in all of them; human nature is the thing hardest to stand the test.

The corrupt Colonel Nezumi, the Vice Admirals who followed the World Government's orders to slaughter the innocent and launch a Buster Call,

as well as the mid-level Navy officers who treated the aftermath in Alabasta as nothing,

these are all things that worry Vice Admiral Tsuru.

But things have reached this point; if she backs down now, it will only confirm the fact that there is darkness within the Navy, so even if she has to bite the bullet, she must proceed.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Vice Admiral Tsuru bowed slightly, staring nervously at the disk that was gradually starting to rotate.

Five dazzling golden disks, like suns hanging high in the firmament, attracted everyone's gaze.

Slowly, the golden disks overlapped together.

Each time they overlapped, some lower-quality rewards were eliminated,

until the final brilliant golden light was almost stinging the eyes of all the players.

"Damn Navy, I am at odds with you!"

Doflamingo's mouth curled up, his smile very forced, and the veins bulging on his forehead indicated his irritable mood right now.

If one were to say that the first kill was snatched by the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, it was because his own strength was insufficient.

He would accept that.

But subsequently, after he sold most of Dressrosa and created several high-level Puppets, he was still played by the Navy.

"I shouldn't have sold the entire Dressrosa..."

Immediately after, Doflamingo thought of this matter.

The original plan should have been to kill all the followers of the Riku royal family; could it be that there are still guys who have expectations for the Riku royal family?

To the side,

Mihawk stood on the deck of the Red Force, dodging the arm that Hongfa Xiangkesi had draped over him.

"It is a pity that the Navy has no true Sword Master; the probability of drawing a prize related to Jiangdian is very low."

Hawkeye felt it was a pity.

He now stood at the peak of Jiangdian in the Pirate World, yet he still wanted to stand on his tiptoes to see the scenery at an even greater height.

Hongfa Xiangkesi was like sticky candy, ignoring Hawkeye's look of disgust, and insisted on leaning in to ask: "Aren't you worried? By openly exchanging for a Navy Warship and making an enemy of Marine Headquarters, the stronger the Navy becomes, the more dangerous your situation will be."

Even if the World Government has not issued an official document,

the current situation at Marine Headquarters is clearly no longer under the jurisdiction of the Five Elders, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea exist in name only.

"It does not matter."

The original Hawkeye's gaze was as sharp as a falcon's, and the aura of a Sword Master emanated from within him to the outside.

But now,

although his gaze was still cold, in the eyes of Hongfa Xiangkesi, he was like a precious sword with its sharpness hidden, sheathed within its scabbard.

Hawkeye noticed the change in Hongfa Xiangkesi's gaze,

turned his head, saw the fleeting fighting spirit in his eyes, and said: "If you want to fight, I can accompany you."

Hongfa Xiangkesi asked in surprise: "To think I could hear these words from your mouth; in the past, you shouldn't have accepted a fight from me, now that I am Dan of my arm, right?"

He was not only surprised that Hawkeye had taken the initiative to accept the fight, but also surprised by Hawkeye's keen senses.

His own Observation Haki had already reached the strongest level in the Pirate World, and even if there was a flash of fighting spirit, it should have been very difficult to detect.

"You, with your Dan arm, are of course not my opponent."

Hawkeye said as a matter of course: "I do not mean a simple contest of Sword Skill, but for you to use your full strength, including the Haki that Hongfa Xiangkesi was proud of when you ascended to the Four Emperors."

"I will control my four-dimensional attributes to the same strength as yours and defeat you!"

Once, the Jiangdian of the Pirate World was suppressed by the two mainstream powers of Devil Fruit and Haki.

Even he, who was called the strongest Sword Master, was merely a name without substance.

But now, Hawkeye had the confidence to fight anyone in the Pirate World.

Any ability would eventually bow before Jiangdian!

Recommending a book to my brothers, "Multiverse Zombie Invasion: I Smash Everything with My Physical Body," where various zombies are randomly airdropped to start the apocalypse; it's quite interesting, ying ying ying.
