Chapter 493

If we exclude the battle damage caused by Bai Huzi, the number of Marine soldiers who died at the hands of the Bai Huzi Pirates was not many, less than 3,000.

What does this mean? Karl's ability played a crucial role. It was precisely because of his existence that the Marines' battle damage was not too high; otherwise, the number of deaths would have doubled.

"Since Vice Admiral Karl has finished, I will say a few more words, just in time to announce an important matter to everyone."

The Marines present immediately sat up straight and pricked up their ears.

"Everyone, I, Sengoku, have been in the Marines for nearly half a century. From a common Marine soldier to Fleet Admiral, I have dedicated my life to the cause of justice against pirates. Now, it is time to take a rest and leave the position to the young people."

Whoosh~ The conference room was suddenly in an uproar. The Marine soldiers whispered to each other and discussed heatedly.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, why!"

"Clearly the Marines won this war, why... resign from the position of Fleet Admiral?"

"Quiet!"

"It is precisely because we crushed the Bai Huzi Pirates that I made up my mind to resign from the position of Fleet Admiral."

"Roger, Shiki, Newgate, these pirates of the old era have all come to an end. It is time for this Marine of the old era to come to an end as well."

"Three days later, I will go to the Holy Land Mary Geoise to resign from the position of Fleet Admiral to the World Government. As for the candidate for the new Fleet Admiral..."

"You will naturally be told after a while."

After speaking, Sengoku left without looking back, leaving the Marines present dazed.

Even Ain couldn't help but ask: "Hey, what kind of mystery is Fleet Admiral Sengoku selling? Doesn't he think highly of Admiral Kuzan? Why not say it directly?"

Karl put his arm around Ain's shoulder and said indifferently: "Before the dust settles, he won't reveal any news. Don't look at me, I don't know either. Let everything take its course!"

Ain nodded as if she understood, then looked around like a thief, smiling at Karl, her eyes curved into crescents.

"Hey, no matter who becomes Fleet Admiral, there will always be an Admiral position vacant, right! Then, will I have to call you Admiral Karl, no, Admiral White Raven?"

Karl grinned: "Hehe, that's right. Why don't you come and please me soon? Be careful, I might make things difficult for you in the future!"

"Hmph! I'm not afraid of you! I'm a Headquarters Vice Admiral, what can you do if I don't listen to you?"

Karl showed a fierce expression and glared at Ain: "Then you're done for, I'll let you know what it means to be petty!"

The Marines achieved a complete victory in the war with the Bai Huzi Pirates. This news soon spread to the whole world. This war was also called the Summit War by the world.

For everyone who hated pirates, this was definitely great news.

"Hahaha, I said so, how could pirates defeat the Marines! That's great, the Pirate King's evil bloodline was executed, and Bai Huzi is dead. The Marines are truly amazing!"

"Who says not! It is said that the Red-Haired Pirates also came during this war, but they just didn't fight the Marines."

"Really? How do you know?"

Of course, not everyone was so optimistic, especially the residents of the New World.

When Bai Huzi was there, there was at most a little friction between the Four Emperors, not enough to fight to the death; after all, there were only so many territories, and they had already been divided.

With Bai Huzi dead, could the remaining members of the Bai Huzi Pirates still hold Bai Huzi's territory?

I'm afraid the remaining three Emperors of the Sea will fight to the death!

If that happens, the New World will be in chaos again.

Three days later, Mary Geoise.

"Sengoku, are you really going to resign? Don't you want to reconsider?"

That's what they said, but there was no intention to keep him in the Five Elders' tone at all.

"No need, I have already considered it. The end of the Bai Huzi Pirates is just the perfect period for my Marine career. It is time to leave the position to the young people."

The blond old man said indifferently: "In that case, do you have any recommendations for the successor of the next Marine Fleet Admiral?"

Sengoku said without hesitation: "I recommend Kuzan. He has the highest prestige in the Marines, and many supporters..."

"If you ask who among the three Admirals is most suitable to become Marine Fleet Admiral, I think Kuzan is the best choice."

The Five Elders exchanged glances, then the bald old man said indifferently: "Kuzan? We know. However, we also have a recommended candidate. What do you think of Sakazuki?"

Sengoku frowned: "Sakazuki? No, I don't think highly of him. His personality is too radical. If he becomes Marine Fleet Admiral, I'm afraid it will lead the Marines to the extreme. For the current Marines, we don't need an extremely radical Fleet Admiral to lead them."

"Because, the Marines are now the overlords of the sea!" Sengoku was very confident when he said this.

Since seeing Karl's ability in the Summit War, he was absolutely convinced that as long as Karl was there, the Marines would be invincible. Bai Huzi was the lesson from the past.

"Are you that confident?"

"I have confidence in Karl. By the way, I forgot to tell you, Karl also thinks Kuzan is more suitable to become Marine Fleet Admiral."

"What do you mean by that? Are you threatening us?"

Sengoku showed a faint smile: "No, I'm just stating the facts."

After speaking, Sengoku turned and left. The Five Elders looked at each other, and they also understood what Sengoku meant.

Besides being a Marine hero, Karl was also the richest man in the world. If Karl got upset... ===== CHAPTER 495 =====
