People in One Piece are so good-looking - Chapter 440

c436 Nuo Xia exits customs

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

The impact of the war on the top gradually became apparent.

The era of great pirates has come to an end. There are no more pirates roaming the sea. The remaining shrimps and millets have long been frightened and fled in panic. In the end, they could not escape being arrested and imprisoned.

Only the lucky few can successfully hide their names and settle down in a place of their choice.

Without those separatist maritime emperors, the navy has been advancing unimpeded expansion in the New World, bringing this lawless land that has been in turmoil for decades back to the control of the world government.

A new order is being rapidly established. Turmoil, chaos… and constant wars. These words seem to have been swept into the garbage heap of history.

However.

Under this seemingly bright and beautiful future, many discerning people can see an undercurrent. It is gradually surging.

…

The fourth month after the top, the beginning of the month.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

In the top-level conference room, the atmosphere was particularly depressing. Almost all the top navy officials, including Akainu Aokiji, had gloomy expressions and were puffing away their words.

Snapped!

A thick document was slammed on the table by Warring States, who was in charge. He said in a low voice, “This is the monthly summary report of last month. Please circulate it to each other and take a look.”

“What catches your eyes.”

Garp picked his nose and sneered, “You can guess it with your toes. It’s not all the same nonsense as the previous two months.”

The senior navy officials present all understood what he meant, and their expressions became a little gloomier.

The Navy Headquarters has always had a practice of conducting monthly summaries every month.

Three months ago, the same monthly summary was held in this conference room, but the atmosphere at that time was completely different.

At that time, the war on top had just ended, and the pirate alliance had disappeared. The navy headquarters was pursuing the victory and regaining a large amount of lost territory. Good news from the front line was flying like snowflakes, one after another.

Wherever the fleet goes, the people welcome it wholeheartedly. It can be said that it takes full advantage of the time. The state of vigorous vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes.

However, less than a month later, the situation began to change.

First, the World Government issued a disarmament order, requiring the Navy Headquarters to disarm one-third of its own forces, and all other local branches except the New World to directly eliminate half of them.

This is quite reasonable, Warring States and others had expected it.

After all, it was originally because of rampant pirates that the size of the navy increased year after year. Now that the era of great pirates has come to an end, it is natural to reduce naval expenditures.

To be honest, at most, I feel that this action is a little too fast. There is only a one-month buffer period, which gives people a feeling of being too hasty. The rest is understandable.

But a series of things that happened next made it difficult for the senior officials of the Navy Headquarters to accept it.

Probably because the rampant pirates have been completely wiped out, and the sea is now far safer and more stable than before.

I don’t know who started the trend first. The Celestial Dragons who have lived in the holy land of Mariejoia all year round suddenly became interested in “cruising” all over the world. Especially the younger generation, they invited friends and went out in groups. run.

The pressure faced by the Navy can be imagined.

Not only do they have to dedicate a large number of elite manpower to protect the safety of these world nobles along the way, but they also have to help wipe the mess if the Tianlong people cause a big mess.

What about forcibly abducting young and beautiful girls and taking them as slaves; what about ordering naval fleets to bombard each other and kill each other, just for fun; what about riding beasts into the palace of the thousand-year-old capital, smashing the huge palace to pieces, and forcing The king and queen were crawling naked in the ruins, laughing while watching…

The list goes on and on.

——Of course, perhaps for the Tianlong people, these are not troubles at all, but things that should be taken for granted.

After all, this is what they have always done, no matter before, now or in the future.

But ah.

Times have really changed.

When the main contradiction disappears, the secondary contradiction will often surface for the first time and become the focus of everyone’s attention.

Without the rampant pirates and the era of chaos and turmoil, the various conflicts and contradictions between the world’s nobles and the people of various countries can no longer be concealed and reconciled.

The spotlight also shines on the navy. For the people, the navy used to be the patron saint of protecting a party’s peace, and it naturally carried the label of being trusted.

But what now?

It seems that the only duty left is to be a good dog for the Celestial Dragons!

So many negative incidents broke out in a series, not to mention the boiling public dissatisfaction, even the Navy itself couldn’t stand it.

To know.

The current navy has been influenced by Nosha for more than ten years, especially the younger generation. A considerable part of them joined the military because they admired Nosha. The overall concept is quite radical and far deviated from the previous generation.

Ever since.

In just two or three months, thousands of navy soldiers resigned and retired!

This also includes many school-level officers, including several major generals.

At this moment, all the senior leaders of the headquarters here are holding a ball of fire in their hearts!

Now, it is already the fourth month.

Similar conflicts around the world have not subsided, but have become more intense.

There is intelligence that the revolutionaries headed by Long have started to be active again after keeping a low profile for several years.

The Navy Headquarters’ endurance is extremely close to its limit.

“Although the troubles caused by the Tianlong people have doubled again this month.”

Warring States glanced at Garp and said expressionlessly, “But if these are the only things that happen, it would actually be better.”

Garp frowned, pulled out a document, opened it and browsed.

The other senior navy officials were also stunned and circulated the remaining documents to each other.

After a while, everyone’s expressions changed.

“It’s just nonsense!”

Akainu was the first to read it. He became furious and slammed the table: “What on earth does the World Government want to do? Is this kind of personnel transfer possible?”

“Agatha Gut was transferred to the position of Chief of General Staff of the Navy Headquarters, and Dulvis was transferred to the position of General Counsel of the Navy Headquarters… A total of more than ten transfer orders were made, and all of them were the bureaucrats of the World Government, and correspondingly, we Many old guys in this department, including several here, will be transferred to other departments.”

Qingzhi pushed the blindfold on his forehead and said calmly, “It seems that even after a round of major disarmament, the superiors still don’t trust us very much.”

The others looked at each other with extremely ugly expressions.

Even though the current Navy Headquarters has been scolded by many people as the dogs of the Celestial Dragons, in the end, its position and heart are still on the side of “justice.”

And when this series of transfer orders are implemented and so many nails are inserted into the Navy, you can imagine what the Navy’s reputation will gradually become in the future.

“Replacing so many in one go is just the first move.” Garp flicked his nose and sneered, “In my opinion, I might as well replace the marshal.”

“It’s really changed.” Warring States suddenly said.

“Um?!”

Everyone turned their heads in shock and looked at Warring States.

“After the First World War, the navy’s military strength, trust and hope are the highest in history.”

Sengoku’s voice was calm, “In the second month after the war, when the situation in the New World was basically stable, I submitted my resignation to the World Government and elected Noxia as the next marshal of the navy.”

Everyone nodded slightly, which was not surprising to them. Nuo Xia’s current reputation was completely unique in the navy.

If Warring States really wants to resign, then from the perspective of the navy, the next marshal must be Nuo Xia, and no other person can be qualified to compete.

Including Akainu Aokiji, who is also a general.

“What’s the result?” Kizaru raised his eyebrows.

“The attitude towards the resignation has always been very vague.” Warring States sneered, “But as for Nuo Xia’s recommendation, it was directly rejected the next day. The reason given was also very simple. The qualifications were too young and he was not qualified.”

Is it really too junior?

The senior executives present here were all silent. Nuo Xia’s past “thorny” performances were still vivid in their minds. Everyone was not a fool, so they naturally knew what the World Government was worried about, or what it was afraid of.

“Speaking of which, where is Mr. Noxia? He didn’t come to this meeting again.” Flying Squirrel suddenly asked, “I haven’t shown up for several months. Isn’t the retreat over yet?”

After hearing this, everyone, including Warring States, subconsciously turned to look at Taotu.

Everyone has been confused about this for a long time.

After the war, Nuoxia’s prestige reached its peak, and it became the subject of heated discussion in almost every corner of the world.

But Nosha himself, who was at the center of the public opinion field, became increasingly low-key. A few days after the war ended, he directly entered a state of seclusion and practice. He did not participate in any naval operations or meetings, and refused to see guests.

Nuo Xia is a cultivator, everyone knows this.

But now even Whitebeard, who is known as the strongest man in the world, has been personally defeated by the former and replaced him as the strongest man recognized in the world. Why do you still need to practice so hard?

Above that ceiling, is there a new realm to explore?

Maybe there really is.

However, there are no enemies worth fighting anymore. Is it necessary to be so anxious?

“Coincidentally, it just ended in the morning.” Taotu smiled, “When I went out, he was taking a shower at home, so he might actually come over for today’s meeting.”

Oh, it’s the same answer as before, it’s not over yet and it won’t come.

Everyone nodded subconsciously, then suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Taotu in astonishment.

“Eh??”

will come? !

The retreat that lasted for more than three months is finally over? !

This news surprised everyone present, and the atmosphere was instantly excited.

However, this was only temporary after all. The meeting continued, and soon, as the next topic was raised, the meeting room became dull again.

“The pension hasn’t been paid out yet?”

Dauberman looked at the last document in his hand, holding a cigar in his mouth, and said in disbelief: “Are you kidding? Didn’t we apply to our superiors as soon as the war ended?”
