From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 167 Has the situation at the Navy Headquarters become so critical?

Marine Headquarters, Malinfando.

Bane's warship had just stopped when he saw a commodore waiting for him.

"Tina, long time no see. Are you here to greet me?" Bane greeted her with a bright smile on his face.

"You caused quite a stir during your trip. You even killed the Golden Lion." Tina looked at Bane with some emotion, and then quickly said, "By the way, the senior generals' meeting will be held in half an hour. I came here to remind you to attend it quickly. Marshal Zhan Guo has revealed some news in advance. He will announce his resignation as marshal at this meeting."

"So soon!?" Bane was surprised. "When I received the news, I thought it was a routine meeting. How come it turned out to be about the resignation of the Marshal? There aren't many senior generals left in the headquarters now, right? For such an important matter, don't you need to call back lieutenant generals from all over the country to participate? Isn't it too hasty?"

"Tina also feels that we are a little too anxious, but the situation on the sea is not stable right now. Most of the lieutenant generals abroad are serving as base chiefs. According to Marshal Zhan Guo's intention, there is no need to convene them for this meeting, so as not to affect our navy's various plans and arrangements. Therefore, the lieutenant generals who cannot attend this meeting will participate via video conference." Tina explained.

Although this sounded reasonable, Bane still felt something was wrong.

So he looked around and lowered his voice a little and asked, "Tina, has anything happened in the headquarters these days?"

"Let's talk while we walk." Tina greeted, and then took Bane towards the Fortress of Justice.

After walking a few steps, Tina whispered, "Something happened. About half a month ago, Mary Geoise transferred a guy who we have never heard of from the CP agency and airdropped him to our navy. Admiral Sakaski approved the transfer and recommended him for a position as a lieutenant general in the headquarters."

"Ah? Is this possible?" Bane asked in surprise, "Can CP people be transferred to our navy?"

"In principle, it is allowed. Not only they can come to our side, but if you are interested, you can also apply to be transferred to the CP agency. With your status as a candidate for admiral, if the people over there approve it, you can at least get a commander position there." Tina quickly introduced the situation to Bane.

Ben gradually understood.

The CP Agency and the Naval Headquarters are two different organizations under the World Government, but in the administrative system of the World Government, these two organizations are on the same level, that is, the Director-General of the CP Agency has the same status in the World Government as the Marshal of the Naval Headquarters. All along, the position of the Commander-in-Chief of the entire army of the World Government has been held in turn by the Marshal of the Naval Headquarters and the Director-General of the CP Agency.

Currently, the commander-in-chief of the entire army is the previous Navy Admiral, Cyborg, Sora, and if nothing unexpected happens, the next commander-in-chief of the entire army will be selected from the CP agency.

The principle is still the same, that is, the World Government is balancing the power of both parties, allowing the CP agency and the Navy Headquarters to check and balance each other.

Therefore, we all belong to the administrative system of the world government. Although the institutions are different, in principle, we can transfer to each other. Of course, once you apply, there must be someone with sufficient qualifications on the other side to approve it.

Obviously, this time, Sakaski used this power to approve a transfer from the CP agency.

But from what Tina said, this transfer should have been initiated by Marijoa.

And according to Tina, this kind of situation has not occurred in the navy for at least twenty years.

This made Ben very curious, and he quickly asked, "What's that guy's name?"

"His name is Huangmu, and he is said to be very powerful. After he became lieutenant general, Mr. Huoshaoshan once challenged that guy in the name of sparring, but was defeated overwhelmingly. The surprising thing is that he is actually the user of the Nature-type Mori-Mori fruit. It is really strange that I have never heard of such a strong Nature-type person before, but considering that the other party comes from an intelligence agency, it seems nothing unreasonable." Tina smacked her lips.

"Huangmu?" Bane was even more surprised.

Aramaki is a shitty member of the CP agency!
It seems that something really went wrong with the World Recruitment, so much so that the Five Elders chose to use this method to interfere with the Navy's top brass, but it was estimated that this would only happen once. Sakaski was still an admiral of the Navy, and one time was not a big deal. As an admiral, he was still qualified to make decisions arbitrarily, but he would never use this power continuously, otherwise it would affect his prestige and cause distrust in the Navy.

In the end, he was the one who got hurt.

It seems that Marshal Zhan Guo must have realized something, such as that Mary Geoise's tolerance for him has reached its limit? That's why he is so anxious to resign?

It can also be seen from this that the Warring States period made concessions for the benefit of the navy.

Soon, Bane felt that this might be a check and balance on him by the Five Elders, or a backup option. If Bane wavered at the critical moment, then the position of "general" mentioned by Saint Satan might fall on Huangmu.

Of course, the premise of all this is that no one would have thought that Kuzan would directly withdraw from the navy, leaving two admiral positions vacant.

"I feel like this headquarters is becoming more and more chaotic," Bane sighed.

"Who said it wasn't? Tina also feels that it's becoming more and more depressing here," Tina said with a somewhat melancholy expression.

"Besides this matter? Is there anything else?" Bane asked again.

"That was a big and explosive event. Three days ago, Admiral Sakaski and Admiral Kuzan had a fierce dispute at a meeting, which directly led to Vice Admiral Ghost Spider and Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel receiving severe punishments," Tina revealed in a low voice.

"Ah? Sakaski had a conflict with Kuzan, so why did he punish Ghost Spider and Flying Squirrel?" Bane's expression was full of confusion.

"Because Admiral Sakaski and Admiral Kuzan almost fought each other during the meeting, but were stopped by Mr. Garp and Chief of Staff Ahe. As a result, no one expected that Spider Demon and Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel would fight each other. I was not qualified to participate in that meeting, and I did not see the specific situation, but I heard from Smoker that both of them drew their swords. This was a very serious accident, and the long table in the conference room was smashed." Tina said with a look of regret.

"Why do you look so regretful?" Bane asked curiously.

"I regret not working hard enough to get promoted to major general. If I were also a major general, Tina, I would be qualified to participate in that meeting and see the excitement with my own eyes!" Tina said with a look of regret on her face.

"You really make me not know what to say." Bane's face twitched a few times and he said helplessly.

However, he did not expect that things would have gotten so bad. When he left the headquarters with Zefa, everything seemed calm on the surface, with only undercurrents. How come things have become so intense now?
Ghost Spider is a die-hard fan of Sakaski, while Flying Squirrel seems to be a supporter of Kuzan.

Now, the conflict between Kuzan and Sakaski has begun to extend from them personally to the respective factions under their command. If this continues, I am afraid that the rift within the navy will expand rapidly, forming a situation that is difficult to control.

In the final analysis, there is only one way to resolve this situation, and that is to resolve the dispute over the marshal as soon as possible and determine the next marshal.

Once the result is determined, there will be nothing to argue about. At the same time, no matter who the new marshal is, he must treat everyone equally, just like when he was a marshal in the Warring States Period. This is also the rule that the marshal must abide by. By then, with the passage of time, this storm will gradually disappear.

Combining this information, Bane had to admit that the battle for the Marshal position had reached a point where it could no longer be delayed.

Every extra day Zhan Guo works in this position may deepen the rift within the navy, which is no longer in the interests of the navy. As a marshal, Zhan Guo will not allow this to happen.

So he must step down, and the Navy must choose a new marshal as quickly as possible!
"It's a turbulent time," Bane muttered, and then he and Tina stepped into the Fortress of Justice.
