Starting with helping Zhao Kai ascend the throne in the snow

Bakkin gets excited at the thought of One Piece. Ever since Roger's death ushered in the Great Pirate Era, One Piece has been the biggest driving force attracting countless pirates. It is said that obtaining One Piece will grant the power to control the world, attracting countless pirates to follow in his footsteps.

At Bakkin's age, she had long lost the chance to find love, so figuring out the One Piece and obtaining a large fortune was her only obsession. So she immediately took Weevil and quietly headed towards Dressrosa.

Meanwhile, at the Naval Headquarters, early that morning, all the admirals remaining at the Naval Headquarters, led by Chief of Staff Tsuru, stood at the port dock waiting for something.

Inside the Marine Headquarters building, Akainu stood silently at the office window, a cigar dangling from his lips, gazing at the sea.

Inside the Chief of Staff's office, Sengoku snatched a senbei from Garp's hand and laughed triumphantly, making Garp furious like a mischievous old man.

After relinquishing his position as Fleet Admiral, Sengoku grew increasingly old, but his spirit was finally able to relax. As Fleet Admiral, he had to maintain an absolutely calm mind, but after being demoted to a regular Vice Admiral, he no longer had to worry about too many troublesome matters.

"Sengoku, aren't you going to check on the quality of these two newly arrived generals?" Garp suddenly stopped joking and asked Sengoku with a serious expression.

Many of them were close friends of many years, and he knew that even though his old friend had retired from the position of Fleet Admiral, he still cared deeply about everything related to the Navy. This time, the World Government, in a tradition of directly intervening in the Navy, parachuted in two Navy Admirals. Everyone was holding their breath, intending to see what kind of people they were before making any decisions. If their strength did not live up to the Navy's highest combat power title, the entire Navy Headquarters might be in an uproar.

"Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs. Since Akainu is now the Fleet Admiral, let him handle these matters." Sengoku said nonchalantly, tossing a senbei into his mouth. Only after missing Garp's gaze did a trace of worry appear deep in his eyes.

The Navy has only recently recovered from the Marineford War. If a new admiral were to become embroiled in conflict with the Navy Headquarters, it would be a huge blow to the Navy, and the prestige it had established during the Marineford War would be completely destroyed.

That would be a huge disaster for the entire navy. Once pirates no longer fear the navy, the old order will be broken, the pirate world will be in chaos, and there will be battlefields everywhere, requiring troops to be dispatched to suppress them.

Even the worst order is better than no order. For many years, Sengoku worked hard to maintain the balance of the pirate world, and it was in this slow stabilization that the Navy gradually developed.

But Sengoku quickly chuckled to himself, realizing he was worrying unnecessarily. Besides, based on his understanding of the Five Elders, those five old guys were not simple-minded people. If he could think of something, how could the Five Elders not think of it?

At the naval headquarters port, Chief of Staff Tsuru stood with a group of vice admirals and rear admirals, including Admiral candidate Chaton and Momousagi. The two men's gazes were unusually calm. Even Chaton, who was usually sleazy and slovenly, maintained a serious expression, with a hint of hidden dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The position of admiral, which was once within his grasp, has slipped away. Now, he naturally wants to see what kind of person the World Government has chosen to replace him. If the person chosen is not up to par, then Chaton shouldn't blame him for not giving the World Government any face.

Chief of Staff Tsuru glanced worriedly at Chaton and Momousagi, fully aware of their thoughts. Originally, it was supposed to be Akainu who brought people to welcome the new subordinates today, but the World Government's forceful interference in the Navy's traditions made Akainu very unhappy. Therefore, he planned to give the two new admirals a hard time.

Just then, a warship flying the World Government flag appeared on the sea not far away. Soon everyone saw two figures on the bow of the ship. A short, fat man with a scar on his face stood on the bow of the ship with his eyes closed, holding a knife. His short, round face looked very solemn.

Beside him stood a middle-aged man, shirtless, with a tattoo of "Shikawa Shinju" on his left side. He had slightly messy dark green curly hair, wore sunglasses, and had a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He was tall and strong with long legs.

Soon, the World Government's ship docked at the port. A staff member in a black suit handed two detailed documents to Chief of Staff Tsuru, saying, "Ms. Tsuru, these are the detailed information on Ikio and Aramaki. They are the new generals selected by the Five Elders through the World Military Draft. My mission is complete, so I'll take my leave now."

Government officials who can get by in the World Government may be corrupt, but they are rarely brainless idiots. This person knew that this was a hot potato after receiving today's mission, so after sending Ikki and Aramaki to the Marine Headquarters, he immediately left as fast as he could, for fear that if the Marines and the two new admirals got into a fight, he would be implicated.

After Ichisei and Aramaki disembarked, the atmosphere in the port became quiet. All the officers present stared at the two of them expressionlessly, which implicitly showed their rejection of outsiders.

"The air is thick with indifference; it seems everyone is unhappy with my arrival." Yi Sheng raised an eyebrow. After blinding himself, he could sense the emotions of others through his Observation Haki. He immediately smiled self-deprecatingly after sensing the emotions of everyone present.

If it weren't for the fact that only by becoming a Navy Admiral could he gain sufficient authority to realize his ideals, he would never have bothered to become this uninvited guest. But compared to those suffering people, what did his personal honor and disgrace amount to?

"Huh, where's Fleet Admiral Sakazuki? I don't see him. He's my idol. I joined the Navy because I wanted to become a hero like him. I admire his ruthless treatment of pirates. Those pirates are parasites on the sea, and they should be wiped out." Compared to his self-deprecating humor, Aramaki seemed completely oblivious to the Navy's indifference after disembarking, constantly looking around at the crowd, searching for Akainu.

Unlike others who strive to become a Marine Admiral for their ideals, Aramaki joined the Marines purely out of admiration for Akainu. After years of sailing the high seas, he witnessed too many evil deeds committed by pirates and thus deeply hated them. He greatly admired Akainu's ruthless approach and believed that pirates should be exterminated.

As Aramaki made his move, the atmosphere on the scene subtly changed. The officers, led by Doberman, were all Akainu's trusted subordinates. They sensed Aramaki's respect for Akainu from his words, and their original hostility towards the two admirals quietly disappeared.

Another group of officers who were originally under Aokiji's command and those who had remained neutral under Kizaru's command continued to observe coldly. All of this was keenly perceived by Issei. Although he was blind, he was extremely sensitive to the emotions of others and immediately realized that the Navy was not a monolithic entity. He then had a rough idea of ​​how to handle interpersonal relationships in the future.

He had initially worried that the navy was a monolithic entity, and that a parachuted admiral like himself would only be isolated and rejected by everyone, unable to get any help even if he wanted to do something. But the change in the atmosphere he was seeing gave him direction and an opportunity.
