Ghost Shark took in Tsuru's expression and asked hesitantly, "Hmm? Grandma Tsuru, could it be that Vice Admiral Garp has already gone to rescue Straw Hat Luffy?"
"Sigh, let's just ignore him." Tsuru was clearly also quite angry at Garp for taking the initiative.
"Alright then, Colonel T. Penn is getting a promotion?"
"The promotion document has just been issued. He now has the same rank as you, brigadier general. In the future, just remind the marshal privately about these kinds of things, understand?" He instructed earnestly.
"You should be more careful in your conduct and avoid leaving a bad impression on your colleagues, as this will hinder your future promotion."
This old navy man probably really valued Ghost Shark a lot, thinking about her every step of the way, correcting her mistakes, and he was almost ready to say, "Do a good job, and I'll make you an admiral in the future."
“But…” Ghost Shark lowered his head, his expression twisted.
He smiled, his wrinkled face softening. "There are no outsiders here, so just say what you need to say."
It's good that there are problems; what's worrying is that this kid is dissatisfied with the higher-ups but has nothing to say about it.
The Navy has Sakazuki in its middle generation and Smoker in its new generation, both of them troublemakers. She doesn't want to see Specter become like that.
"But you never asked me if I wanted to sit in that seat in the future..." Ghost Shark placed his hands on the back of the sofa, tilted his head back, and looked up at the ceiling.
"The justice I believe in is 'justice done as one pleases,' not 'justice manipulated at will.'" Her voice was gentle, like a breeze in the forest. "The limit I can accept is only a lieutenant general..."
Those below the rank of general can still deceive themselves, keeping their eyes off the powerful and influential.
If you really get to that position, you'll definitely be a dog of the Celestial Dragons.
Crane was slightly taken aback, thinking she had misheard. She looked at Tina and received a nod of affirmation.
Specter doesn't want to be an admiral? A new generation successor to Kizaru?
Who will take over the great responsibility of leading the navy?
Tina? She's going to take over the General Staff.
Smoker? He lacks both experience and ability.
It couldn't possibly be those two kids Garp brought in, could it?
Crane chatted with Ghost Shark for a while without any interest, after which Ghost Shark took his leave.
She put on her coat, called Tina, and hurriedly headed towards the Sengoku office.
On the other side, at the main training ground.
The deep-sea fleet, which had only been on leave for ten days, suddenly received an emergency summons and was required to assemble within a specified time.
"Commodore Ghost Shark"
Ayn had clearly just changed into her navy uniform; the collar was still a bit wrinkled. She asked curiously, "What happened? Why are you suddenly calling everyone together?"
“Exactly.” Alice muttered, turning her head to complain, “It’s a precious vacation right now.”
Upon hearing this, Specter glared at her, her figure in the Justice Coat pacing back and forth at the front of the fleet.
"Starting today, everyone will undergo intensive training! For..." she smirked slightly, "...twenty days!"
"Twenty days? That's not much." Alice nodded.
Compared to the past five years, this is nothing.
As soon as Sha looked up, she saw Ai Yin's strange gaze, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, she raised her voice sharply, "What?! Twenty days? Look how many days of vacation we have!"
A month-long vacation, in just twenty days it will be over!
The assembled navy erupted in uproar, and then a disturbance broke out.
With a loud hum, the sharp, rapid sound of the circular saw grinding together drowned out all other noise, and the crowd immediately fell silent.
Judging from this scene, this is no joke.
"What? My deep-sea fleet's navy can't even endure twenty days of rigorous training?"
The ghost shark spread its wings and flew into the sky, looking down at the crowd.
"Or are you saying that once you're at headquarters, you can let loose? Is your faith really that fragile? Hmm?"
The officer is serious!
The noisy sailors swallowed hard and instinctively straightened their backs.
"Twenty days," Ghost Shark said in an unquestionable tone. "Anyone who's dissatisfied will either have to undergo an additional twenty days of training or leave the Deep Sea Fleet!"
The Specter Shark is angry!
Alice's face fell, and she dared not speak again.
At this moment, Ain looked at Specter and asked, "How rigorous is this training...?"
Training is also divided into daily difficulty and hell difficulty.
"Intensive training, as the name suggests, the most rigorous kind!" Specter's gaze swept over everyone, his tone low and deep. "Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
This time, her response was clear and loud.
News of the Deep Sea Fleet's holiday training spread like wildfire and quickly reached headquarters.
"What does this mean?" Sengoku leaned against the windowsill, his face full of doubt. "This is not something a general who wants to slack off should do."
He sat gracefully in his office, visibly pleased. "Perhaps he was just saying that he didn't want to be a general in anger."
After speaking, he glanced meaningfully at Kizaru opposite him and smiled gently.
"That's really going too far~" Kizaru pouted, glancing lewdly at the training ground. "Although I like to slack off, I haven't neglected my work~"
On the other side, in the City of Water.
Garp 'just happened' to hear that Luffy was here, so he arrived just in time.
The authorities are preparing to 'arrest' them.
Chapter 163 The Nickname of Collapse
At this time, the water city is undergoing post-disaster reconstruction.
The Straw Hat crew was resting in the poplar hut when Zambai, the captain of the Franky family, rushed over in a panic.
"Something terrible has happened, Straw Hat! You're all wanted by the police!" The man wearing frog-shaped glasses exclaimed anxiously.
"Oh, the bounties for everyone?" Sanji with curly eyebrows lit a cigarette and glanced at Zoro with a mocking look.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how the 'idiot with no sense of direction' bounty changes."
He emphasized the four key words, and Sanji turned his back, his shoulders shaking violently, clearly trying hard to suppress his laughter.
Luffy's nickname was already a bit odd, but who would have thought that Zoro's bounty would be such a social death?
He's officially recognized as a hopeless idiot with no sense of direction... His fellow crew members on the ship have been laughing at him for a long time.
Haha, I can't help it, I still laugh when I think about it now.
Even more interestingly, a notorious pirate with a bounty of 60 million on his first post would turn pale and pound the ground with his limbs.
That day, Zoro blushed with shame and was filled with impotent rage, like a neutered puppy.
"You lecherous kappa, do you want to fight me?" Zoro approached like a ghost, roaring angrily, his mouth grinning like a shark.
"This is clearly a good thing, isn't it?" Usopp felt like a girl being led into a wedding room, both sweet and uneasy. "If we have an unpleasant nickname, far fewer people will be targeting us."
"Right, why bother with such a domineering nickname? There's no money in it."
Beside Usopp was his best friend Nami, who looked displeased. She had no interest in bounties.
"Oh! So that's how it works!" A tanuki suddenly realized, its eyes sparkling as it looked at Usopp. "You're amazing, Usopp!"
It fluttered toward Zanbai and prayed, "Then I also hope to have an unpleasant nickname."
"Hehehe, has the bounty arrived? Quick, let me see!" Another head popped in.
Zambry nodded and began to read them aloud one by one:
"Gluttonous Monkey - Monkey D. Luffy, bounty 300 million Berries!"
Luffy laughed heartily, dancing with joy.
"Zoro, the directionally challenged idiot, has a bounty of 120 million Berries!"
Zoro's smugness didn't last long before he noticed Sanji's taunts, and the two instantly started fighting.
"Nami, the Witch of Greed, has a bounty of 46 million Berries!"
Lust? Witch? Two arrogant phrases combined!
Nami's eyes immediately lost their sparkle of fear. "Wait, wait a minute..."
"Chopper, the mythical beast who controls life and death—the tanuki, has a bounty of 100 million Berries!"
Chopper's eyes rolled back in fright, tears streaming down his face. "A tanuki? A mythical beast? One hundred million?"
Is my head being targeted?!
"The Devil's Child, Nico Robin, bounty of 80 million Berries!"
Robin, surprisingly, just smiled and didn't say anything.
"The world's number one sniper god - Sniper King, with a bounty of 90 million Berries!"
Number one in the world?!
Usopp was terrified. A sniper who claims to be the best in the world? Does the World Government want me to die even faster?
It's foreseeable that many gunmen will seek him out for a duel, and there will be countless assassination attempts, just like the swordsman wanted to challenge Hawkeye...
Thinking about this, Usopp's soul seemed to leave him; even going to the toilet was a nightmare.
Finally, Zambry pulled out a lifelike portrait, and Sanji took one look and immediately exploded.
The painting depicts a chubby face with sausage lips, dry hair, and a cigarette of the same kind dangling from its mouth, its expression terrifyingly naive.
Who is this? And what is it?
He was so terrified he was practically melting; he looked no different from a corpse that had been dead for two days, his eyes bulging, snot dripping from his nose, practically rotting and stinking...
"Sanji, the perverted kappa, photo acquisition failed, bounty 97 million Berries!"
Sanji collapsed to the ground, as if cursed by a vengeful spirit...
"Hahahaha, you lewd kappa, hahahahaha!"
Zoro, clutching his sword, laughed vengefully, unable to resist telling all the swordsmen in the world that the chef's reputation had been tarnished because of him.
"This bounty assessment is quite ruthless," Robin said with a grin. Apart from his own nickname not changing much, his other companions were all more outrageous than the last.
This precise strike reminded her of a friend she had parted ways with eight years ago.
That's just like your style, Laurentina.
You were like this in bed back then... Robin blushed almost imperceptibly.
Under Specter's influence, the Straw Hat crew's nicknames and bounties completely collapsed.
“Captain Luffy, none of that matters. The most important thing is…” Zaby pulled out a wanted poster with a troubled expression, “Boss Franky is also wanted!”
"Our leader is wanted, so he can't live in Water 7 anymore. Please take him aboard." With a soft thud, Zambry knelt down and kowtowed to Luffy.
"Hehehe, Franky is my partner, of course!" Luffy laughed as he helped him up and took the bounty poster, which read...
"The gentlemanly Franky, bounty of forty-four million Berries!"
Robin laughed heartily; it was a perfect hit with his personality.
"No, this should be my nickname!" Sanji, who had lost both his reputation and his photo, shed tears of jealousy. I am the gentleman! I am the polite gentleman!
Franky, that big pervert, steals skills—no, I mean, he steals nicknames!
The Navy assessment team, they seem to get sick in the summer, huh?
......
Zambai left not long ago
After a while, a fist suddenly smashed open the wall of the poplar hut.
navy?!
Faster than shaving?
