"Welcome to the two admirals. I am the Chief of Staff of the Navy. You can call me Tsuru. These are all outstanding officers of the Navy, and your future colleagues. This is Vice Admiral Doberman, Vice Admiral Mole, and Vice Admiral Fire Mountain..." Chief of Staff Tsuru did not want to make the atmosphere awkward, so he immediately welcomed Ichisei and Aramaki, and introduced the officers of the headquarters around them.

"Chief of Staff, where are Marshal Akainu and Admiral Kizaru?" Vice Admiral Aramaki asked after finishing his introduction, as he had not been able to find Akainu.

Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression stiffened for a moment. She couldn't very well say that Akainu wanted to give them a hard time, could she? As for Kizaru, he had gone out to carry out a mission.

Chief of Staff Tsuru immediately said, "Admiral Kizaru has gone out on a mission, and Fleet Admiral Akainu is handling urgent business in his office. I will take you to see him now."

"I'm finally going to meet my idol! My life, look at my clothes, is there anything inappropriate about them?" Aramaki said excitedly when he heard Lieutenant General Tsuru's words. He then immediately reached out and smoothed his curly hair, and found a coat to cover his bare upper body.

"Huang Mu, you despicable fellow, have you forgotten that I am blind?" Upon hearing Huang Mu's words, several black lines appeared on Yi Sheng's forehead. Asking a blind man to help judge whether his clothes were impolite was clearly asking him to do something unreasonable.

Upon hearing this, Huang Mu slapped his forehead and said without any apology, "Oh dear, I completely forgot you're blind. Never mind, I don't expect you to help me." As he spoke, he straightened his clothes again.

Just as Vice Admiral Tsuru was about to take Issei and Aramaki to Akainu's office, Chaton, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood in front of everyone, staring intently at Aramaki and said, "I want to have a match with you."

Cha Tun had been observing the two men since they appeared, and now he felt he had gained some information. He didn't think they were much stronger than him, so he wanted to challenge Huang Mu to prove his strength. As for why he didn't choose Yi Sheng, Cha Tun didn't bother to bully a blind man.

Chaton's actions immediately silenced the scene once again. All the officers present looked at Issei and Aramaki with amusement, including Doberman and others. The position of Admiral represents the highest combat power of the Navy and is the face of the Navy. It is not something that just anyone can hold; one must demonstrate some strength to do so.

"Are you sure you want to challenge me?" When faced with Chaton's challenge, Aramaki's smile vanished, and his tone turned cold.

While Aramaki might be a bit naive, he wasn't stupid. Chatun's blatant provocation was clearly a disrespect to him, so he had to teach this troublemaker a lesson to establish his authority.

"I want to experience the difference in strength between myself and a general?" Chaton showed no sign of backing down in the face of Aramaki's imposing aura.

"Interesting, then I'll grant your wish." A cold glint flashed in Huang Mu's eyes as he was about to step forward, but Yi Sheng stopped him with a hand.

Yisheng is much older than Huangmu and is more adept at interpersonal relationships. Since they have just arrived at the Marine Headquarters, they should not act arrogantly. Regardless of whether they are in the right or wrong, if they act too much, it will give people the impression of arrogance. In addition, since they were parachuted in, they should be even more restrained.

"Vice Admiral Chaton, I think we shouldn't have a contest. We're both new here, and the first thing we should do is pay our respects to Fleet Admiral Akainu." Ichisei tried to brush it off.

"Don't you dare? Or is it that your position as general is questionable?" Faced with Yisheng's show of weakness, Chatun not only did not know when to back down, but instead pressed on aggressively.

"Damn it, since you want a beating, then I'll teach you a lesson." Upon hearing this, Aramaki was furious. He activated his right hand's Devil Fruit ability, which immediately transformed into a tree branch, and was about to lash out at Chaton.

"Aramaki, calm down. Leave this to me. Consider it a chance for me to show my skills." Seeing Aramaki's anger, Ichisei immediately placed his sword on Aramaki's shoulder and used the power of the Gravity Fruit to suppress Aramaki in place.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent. Huang Mu and Yi Sheng merely demonstrated their abilities, yet the expressions of all the officers present turned serious. They sensed that the two men's strength was not to be underestimated.

"Alright, alright, you can have it. Now put away your gravity." Seeing that Yisheng said this, Huangmu immediately changed the branch in his right hand back to normal.

"Vice Admiral Chaton, you wouldn't mind sparring with this blind man, would you?" Ichisei said with a smile, after dissuading Aramaki.

Chaton had initially underestimated Issei, but after witnessing Issei easily stop Aramaki, he realized that Issei was not to be underestimated. He immediately nodded in agreement, agreeing that no matter who made the move, as long as they defeated the other, they would have a chance to regain the position of general.

"Chief of Staff Tsuru, do you know if there's a quiet arena for duels? I'm a bit shy and don't like being watched by a crowd, so I'd like to have a private spar with Lieutenant General Chaton." Seeing that Chaton had agreed, Ichisei turned to Chief of Staff Tsuru with a smile.

“Of course there are.” Chief of Staff Tsuru’s eyes flashed with a sharp light when she saw Ikki’s actions, and the tense expression on her face eased a little. She had been worried that the two newly arrived admirals would fall out with the Navy Headquarters, which would be a scandal for the Navy.

At this moment, this guy named Yisheng was very experienced in dealing with people, which surprised her and reassured her a lot. Chief of Staff Tsuru immediately said, "Come with me." After saying this, she paused and looked at Momousagi and said, "Momosagi, you come with me too."

Then she looked at the others and said, "As for the other officers of various ranks, go back to your work."

As Chief of Staff Tsuru finished speaking, the group of naval officers could only watch with some resentment as Chief of Staff Tsuru led Ikki, Aramaki, Chaton, and Momousagi toward a martial arts arena that was not open to the public.

What annoyed the officers even more was that Sengoku, Garp, and Akainu also appeared at the last moment, entering the arena with Chief of Staff Tsuru and the others.

The naval officers were unaware of the final results of the competition. All they knew was that the next day, Ikki received the codename Fujitora, Aramaki received the codename Green Bull, and he and Kizaru were officially appointed as the three admirals of the Navy. Chaton, Momousagi, and others remained silent about the competition that day. Chaton even applied to temporarily leave headquarters to perform official duties in the West Blue for a period of time.

Thus, the World Government's forceful intervention in the selection of the Navy Admirals came to a complete end. The position of Navy Admiral was ultimately obtained by Fujitora and Green Bull. Even though many people in the Navy were unwilling, they could only helplessly accept the two men's positions with Akainu's tacit approval.
