Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2479 A general is everyone's dream!
Ultimately, Smoothie and Karas were appointed as candidates for general.

After a brief discussion among the seven people present, they decided on 'Peach Rabbit' and 'Dark Raven'.

The meeting then ended, and Tsuru, Zephyr, Raymond, Kuzan, and Sakazuki left one after another.

In the end, only Sengoku and Sora remained in the conference room.

The brightly lit room gradually quieted down, leaving only the soft breathing of the two people.

Sengoku looked at Kong with a serious expression.

"Lord Im gave me a task: to subdue Elephant Lord and make him a divine beast of the Buddhist realm."

"I heard you tried to recruit them before and had some contact with them?"

Kong nodded in acknowledgment, but a hint of helplessness appeared on his face: "That's right, I went to see it in person and extended an invitation in the name of the Temple of Martial Gods."

"But Zulu's attitude was firm; it was only willing to wait for 'Joyboy' to appear."

"I have absolutely no interest in joining the world government."

"Um"

After a brief pause, Sengoku said, "We all know that Luffy is Garp's grandson, and he is the modern-day Joy Boy."

"Unfortunately, the Nika Fruit within him has not yet awakened, so the 'Drum of Liberation' cannot be sounded at the moment."

"Without this conclusive evidence, we cannot prove Luffy's identity to Zunesha."

The two fell into a brief silence.

Forcibly subduing an ancient giant creature that has lived for thousands of years.

It is by no means an easy task, it is extremely risky, and it could lead to serious consequences.

Not to mention that the other party has now become a martial god-level existence by adding the 'Life Force Evolution Divine Power Rule' to the starfish through Lord Im.

After a long time.

A glint of light suddenly flashed in Zhan Guo's eyes.

"Perhaps we can try another approach."

"Do you remember the images of 'fate influence' from the original timeline that Lord Im showed us in the Void Palace?"

"You mean you want to show the footage of Luffy transforming into Nikka and fighting Kaido to Zunesha?"

Kong immediately understood Sengoku's thoughts.

"Yes."

"Although Zane may doubt the authenticity of the images, it is at least a hope."

"An opportunity to make it accept Luffy without resorting to force, and thus potentially accept recruitment."

"After all, that was the iconic pose of 'Joyboy' that it had waited eight hundred years for."

After thinking for a moment, I also felt that this was the most feasible method at present.

"It's definitely worth a try."

"If it remains stubborn, then we may have no choice but to prepare for the worst."

"You forcibly 'invited' it back to your Buddhist Pure Land."

Kong's words carried an undeniable decisiveness.

This is Lord Im's will.

"I see."

Sengoku nodded solemnly: "Wait until this Battle of Summit is completely over."

“I will personally go to the ‘New World’ and try to communicate with that elephant god.”

He came from the 'old era'.

I still prefer to refer to the latter half of the Grand Line as the 'New World'.

After discussing Elephant Lord.

The topic of the Sky and the Warring States period shifted to another pressing and urgent matter.

Kong's expression became even more serious.

"Lord Im had already reminded us through the Five Elders back in March."

"Based on Princess Lala's calculations of the fleet's speed, the space fleet of 'King Deviluke' Chido, who rules the Dasel and Talha Galaxys, is expected to arrive in our Nautilus galaxy around May 28th."

Sengoku frowned. He was unaware of this; he had been 'sleeping' on Noah's Ark for eleven months.

"Could you elaborate?"

"Right."

Kong immediately wore an expression that was both funny and exasperated: "That's how it is."

After explaining the cause and effect, he continued what he had said earlier.

"Princess Lala, who was accidentally transported to Mary Geoise from another galaxy."

"She is currently traveling around the starfish country with Zastin, Boisz, Maru, and Quintus."

"It is said that a lot of minor and major troubles have been caused."

Sengoku said thoughtfully, "Zeffa said he sensed danger from that Zastin?"

"It is believed to be a being at the level of a 'Martial God'."

“That’s right, the energy auras of the other three Debiruk warriors are also between the level of general and admiral.”

Kong nodded and replied, "One Martial God, one General, and two Princess Guards of the rank of Lieutenant General."

"It's easy to imagine how powerful King Cheetos's fleet was."

"We must be vigilant and prepared, just in case."

"At that time, your navy will be the first to bear the brunt and must closely monitor the movements inside and outside the star system, since the other side may very well arrive ahead of time."

"To ensure that we can respond effectively in the first instance."

The Warring States period was marked by composure and a gentle smile.

"I see. No wonder I found the navy's deployments to be a bit strange lately."

"It must have been an order issued during the time when Zefa was acting Marshal."

"But when the time comes, the Fleet Admiral will be Kuzan, so he should be the one to bear the pressure."

The night was deep and dark.

But this is the highest command of the entire army, including the General Staff Headquarters, the General Staff Department, and the Ministry of Military Affairs.

And the location of the university campus of the War Military Academy.

The various lights still shone brightly.

The Deviluke fleet arrived with the scale of two galaxies.

It could bring unimaginable benefits to world governments.

It could also cause unprecedented danger.

But regardless, Sengoku and Ku believed that they would eventually turn the danger into safety.

Because the World Government is backed by Lord Im.
May 19th, 8:00 AM, Red Earth Continent RL1111 area.

The autumn sun, carrying a touch of crispness, shone on the brand-new battlefield atop the mountain.

It also illuminated the two people standing opposite each other in the center of the wasteland city.

At one end is Crocodile, clad in a black coat of justice, with a somewhat disdainful expression.

His right hand was casually tucked into his pocket, while the gold hook on his left wrist reflected a cold, hard gleam.

He was sizing up the challenger opposite him with calm, dead fish eyes.

The figure on the other end, though robust, was short in stature.

Capone Becky, also wearing a black justice coat over a sharp black suit and a top hat.

As Crocodile's longtime subordinate of the Third Main Battle Corps, he was the only general for a long time.

The two had worked together for many years.

They know each other inside and out.

now.

Becky's face lacked its usual arrogance and gangster aura.

Instead, it was replaced by an extremely serious, even do-or-die, determination.

at the same time.

The military is paying close attention to this 'Battle of the Summit' and eagerly awaits the start of the battle.

Will this General of the Fortress be able to successfully challenge for the rank of Army General?

Just how strong is that Sand Crocodile General?
"Boss"

Becky spoke first, her deep and powerful voice breaking the silence.

"No, in this context, I should address you as General Crocodile."

He slightly raised his chin, his gaze meeting Crocodile's without flinching, even through the hundred-meter distance between them.

"I respect your strength and skill, and I thank you for your guidance over the years."

He paused here, then his tone became more somber.

It was as if every word that followed carried immense weight.

"But the position of admiral has long been a dream that I, Capone Bege, must realize!"

"Today, right here, I will give it my all!"

"Although I can't see the future of this battle yet, I'm determined to win!"

This declaration, which made no attempt to conceal its ambition and determination, was broadcast live throughout the entire army.

Isn't becoming a general the dream of most of the spectators present?

It represents the world government's highest combat power!
