Chapter 397: Giving Advice

"The power of the World Government is far greater than you imagine."

"Kuzan, you should be able to feel that Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the others are very supportive of you becoming the next Fleet Admiral, but they never tell you clearly. Do you know why?"

Kuzan looked at Karl earnestly: "World Government?"

"Not bad. Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku only has the right to recommend the next Fleet Admiral, not the right to appoint. Who will be the next Fleet Admiral mainly depends on the meaning of the World Government."

"Although Sakazuki doesn't have as many supporters in the Marines as you, he is highly valued by the World Government. This is also his biggest advantage."

According to the original plot, Aokiji had already prepared to become Fleet Admiral and was just waiting for the official announcement. As a result, the World Government notified that there would be a duel, and whoever won would be the next Fleet Admiral.

Karl felt it was very outrageous. For a Fleet Admiral, strength is important, but not that important, because no matter how strong you are, you have to guard Marine Headquarters, becoming a bound spirit, basically having no chance to take action.

So for the vast majority of Marines, whether the Fleet Admiral's strength is the strongest in the Marines is not important. What is more important is the Fleet Admiral's philosophy, stance, whether they can lead the Marines further, and whether they can maintain the image of justice for the Marines.

From the situation of a large number of Marines resigning after Akainu took office in the original plot, it can be seen that Akainu's philosophy is too extreme, and any Marine with a little pursuit cannot accept it.

And Aokiji is a bit gentler than Akainu in this regard. Even if limited by the World Government, he will not drag the entire Marine force onto the World Government's big ship and move toward a radical and extreme path.

"Then you mean..."

Karl said faintly: "Merit, you must have merit that crushes Sakazuki, so that you can make the World Government shut up and become an undisputed candidate for Fleet Admiral."

Merit, how could Kuzan not know the importance of merit, but where can he find merit that can crush Sakazuki?

"You say it easily, but merit is not so easy to get. You can't let me rush into the Yonko's territory and fight them to the death, right?"

Karl's mouth curled up slightly: "Don't worry, the opportunity will come soon, it won't be too long."

Looking at Karl's mysterious smile, Aokiji was slightly stunned. Karl's words must have deep meaning.

In his mind, he immediately recalled the recent movements of the Marines...

"You mean, the Bai Huzi Pirates?"

Karl nodded: "Not bad. The opportunity lies with the Bai Huzi Pirates. You should know that Bai Huzi is old and his life is not long."

"But it doesn't make sense for him to die on the Moby Dick or die in the hands of pirates. So, he must die in the hands of the Marines. This means that there must be a battle between the Marines and the Bai Huzi Pirates."

"And this battle is your performance opportunity."

Kuzan was silent for a long time, took a deep breath and said: "I understand."

Then the atmosphere became cold. Ain, who had been a mute for a long time, hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't be stunned! Come, come, eat, eat!"

Ain picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Karl's mouth: "Karl, you taste this, this is delicious!"

"Karl, you have been an Admiral candidate for a few years, right? Maybe it won't be long before you have to be called Admiral White Raven."

Karl swallowed the food in his mouth and waved his hand: "This is all shadowless. In the future, there will only be one Admiral candidate. Gion-sister, Chaton, aren't these all Admiral candidates?"

"No, although they are Admiral candidates like you, you are different from them. You are a Marine Hero, your strength is obvious to all. If you have to choose one from the three of you to become an Admiral, I think no one will not choose you."

Karl grinned and said modestly: "I don't care, it's better to be an Admiral, and I don't care if I can't."

"You are open-minded..." ===== CHAPTER 399 =====
