Chapter 294
"This plan is worth considering, but why do you insist on this plan?"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan showed a confident smile: "Because I have the confidence to make the Navy better, and to allow the Navy to take care of more countries. In this way, we can increase the quota of World Government member nations..."
"No, no, no, it’s not that easy to join the World Government, Fleet Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan. How about this! We think the plan you mentioned today is not bad, but it needs further consideration."
"Why don't you come back tomorrow! We will give you an accurate answer then."
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan frowned and said toughly: "Sorry, Navy business is busy, I don't have time to run here every day!"
"I think you should give me an answer right now!"
"You!"
The hot-tempered bald guy stood up with a *thump*, pointing his finger at Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, looking furious.
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan chuckled lightly, leaning back on the recliner. Don't ask, asking means Karl has money, and having money makes one speak with confidence. At worst, they could completely break away from the World Government, and the Navy could collect the Heavenly Tribute itself.
If the Five Elders really agreed, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan would laugh at them for a lifetime. Therefore, this goal was basically impossible to achieve.
After all, someone has to raise those parasites, right?
"Alright, arguing won't solve anything. Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, the proposal to collect the Heavenly Tribute proportionally is very good, but the problem is how to ensure that all World Government member nations agree?"
"That’s not my problem, that’s your problem."
Seeing Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan being so tough, the bald guy was so angry that his lips were trembling slightly. How dare he!
"The Reverie will be held in a while. We will try our best to implement this proposal then. Are you satisfied now?"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan raised an eyebrow. They actually agreed? This seems a bit different from what Fleet Admiral Sengoku said? Or is it thanks to Karl?
Sigh~ how should I put it, it feels great! Please keep it up!
"Very good. Since that’s the case, we should continue to discuss how to distribute the collected Heavenly Tribute, what do you think?"
The bald guy frowned and said: "Don't be too greedy, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan."
The highest-ranking white-haired elder said indifferently: "How do you want to distribute it?"
How was the Heavenly Tribute distributed before?
Very simple: the Celestial Dragons and the World Government took 60%, and the Navy took 40%. It had always been Move Move Like this. He wanted to see just how greedy Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan was.
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan smiled slightly: "Very simple, the Navy only needs 30% of the Heavenly Tribute for military expenditures, which is even less than before."
Giving up profits voluntarily? Something is wrong, very wrong. The curly-haired elder quickly became vigilant: "I think you have other motives, right?"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan chuckled and shook his head: "No, the share the Navy gives up is for the World Government to use for building the CP departments. After all, the Navy only needs to deal with pirates now, and World Government matters need to be handled by specialists, right?"
"How about it? It’s very fair, right! A 10% share is also an astronomical figure!"
This was determined after Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan and Karl discussed it, all to completely draw a line with the dirty business of the World Government, so as not to be implicated by the World Government and affect the Navy’s image.
In this way, the Navy could gradually separate itself from the World Government in subsequent publicity work, blur the Navy’s political attributes, and thus make the Navy purer.
By then, no matter who is the leader of the World Government, it wouldn't have much impact on the Navy...
"Let’s talk about this after the Reverie, Fleet Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan."
"It’s fine, no rush."
After the Heavenly Tribute matter came to an end, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan’s main focus was on the Navy itself.
At present, the Navy’s main task was to capture the prisoners who escaped from Impel Down and finish the work of the Summit War.
But besides daily tasks, the Navy also needed a long-term goal.
Marineford, Fleet Admiral’s Office.
"Karl, what do you think?"
Karl frowned slightly and habitually touched his chin, which meant Karl was thinking.
"Sit and watch, it’s more comfortable..."
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan said speechlessly: "I didn't ask you that. I’m asking what you think the Navy should do next?"
Karl said helplessly: "Are you the Fleet Admiral or am I the Fleet Admiral? Besides, you should have the answer to this question in your heart."
"It seems I still can't hide it from you. How about this, I’ll tell you my thoughts, and you help me with some advice?"
"For this kind of thing, finding Fleet Admiral Sengoku, uh, Old Man Sengoku, should be better!"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan gave a wry smile: "Yeah! I specifically requested Old Man Sengoku not to retire from the Navy and let him serve as the Navy Headquarters Inspector General (mainly responsible for supervising all government affairs). It’s just that he and Old Man Garp went out to relax, and it will be a while before they come back."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to ask for your opinion."
"Fine, fine, fine, tell me! What are your thoughts?"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan took a deep breath and stared into the distance: "Two years. The Navy needs to rest for two years, bide its time, and improve its strength."
"Hmm, not bad. Although we won the Summit War, we still lost many Navy elites. What are you going to do?"
A flash of light appeared in Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan’s eyes: "My idea is to hold a grand new recruit training camp to cultivate a group of elite Navy soldiers who can skillfully use the Six Powers."
"Just this?"
"Besides that, I also plan to set up an additional Navy Admiral position, called Honorary Navy Admiral, to expand the Navy’s high-end combat power."
Actually, there was another reason Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan didn't say explicitly.
That was, although Karl was a Navy Admiral, he had already decided to let Karl sit in Marineford. If there was no emergency, Karl didn't need to go out on missions. Therefore, he had to find someone else to do the work.
Karl was stunned. Isn't this similar to the World Conscription plan? Could it be that what was meant to come would come?
No, with Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan’s personality, he should choose Fujitora!
"Biding time, expanding high-end combat power, you want to make a big move, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan?"
"That’s right!"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan stood up from his seat and said confidently: "Three Emperors of the Sea are still too many. Two years later, when the Navy is ready for everything, I will take the knife to the next Emperor of the Sea!"
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan raised his hand, condensed an ice spear, and shot it fiercely at the wall in front.
*Swoosh~*
The ice spear flew toward the wall behind Karl. Karl turned back to look and saw the ice spear stuck directly on the bounty poster on the wall. The bounty poster was Big Mom’s fat, foolish face.
Charlotte Linlin
Captain of the BIG MOM Pirates
Bounty: 4.388 billion Berries
Karl grinned. It seems Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan’s first target is Totto Land!
It makes sense. After all, the World Government still has business dealings with Kaido, who is entrenched in Wano Country, and the Navy also needs the Seastone from Wano Country. Even if they want to turn against each other, it’s not now.
Besides, the Red Hair Pirates don't have a fixed base, so it’s really not that easy to block them. So it’s not surprising that he chose Big Mom.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ fine, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, go ahead and do it boldly!"
"I will. No matter what, I can't let you people who support me becoming Fleet Admiral down!"
Karl grinned, gave Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan a thumbs up, and then turned and left.
"This guy is really looking more and more Move Move Like a Fleet Admiral..."
