The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue

In the early morning of the next day, in the meeting room of the headquarters, everyone felt that Lieutenant General Skyler, who had just returned from the New World, was exuding a murderous aura.

Many generals secretly guessed in their hearts that it was the Warring States that transferred Skyler back from the New World, which caused her dissatisfaction. After all, this is a naval general who is keen to enforce justice above all else.

But there is also an insider, and that is Zefa. After all, after reneging on his debts last night, as a teacher, Zefa naturally chose to cheat his own students.

The bill was settled by Skyler. The three of them ate happily last night. They didn't consider the price at all when ordering. This caused Skyler's habitually full wallet to be almost emptied at the checkout. Pay the bill.

It's one thing to spend money, but it's another thing to be tricked into spending money. Skyler was so angry that he couldn't sleep last night, so he came to the meeting room so early today for the first time.

When He and Zhan Guo walked in, they were surprised to see Skyler there. After all, when did Skyler arrive earlier? Seeing the murderous look exuded by Skyler, the two instantly became satisfied.

Sure enough, Skyler has also grown. After all, this referendum was colluded with Skyler, but according to the usual situation, it is not in line with Skyler's willful ideas.

After all, if there is a choice between the referendum and the implementation of justice, then this general must choose the latter, and this time it is considered to be a compulsory recruitment of her, and she is right to be dissatisfied.

It's just that He and Sengoku were worried that Skyler would reveal his secrets because they had been colluded before, but Skyler's gloomy anger and murderous aura fit perfectly with the character!

Skyler has grown into an excellent general and deserves encouragement.

After the two arrived, the meeting room was much quieter. Many generals looked at Zhan Guo with weird eyes. After all, everyone now knew that Zhan Guo was about to step down.

In other words, this marshal won't be able to work for a long time. It's like a teacher saying, I will retire after I finish teaching your class. The students miss him and inevitably feel some disrespect.

Warring States doesn't care, after all, he wants to retire now, go fishing, and then sit and watch the world, and move forward in the direction he directed when he left office. Isn't the joy of sitting and watching Yunjuanyunshu better than scratching his head in the marshal's office?

After all, the bragging capital is enough, why continue to suffer?

These people feel that he has no power after resigning, and he still laughs at the pressure on these young people. It's just this group of idiots who don't even know how to live, they look at him with this kind of eyes.

The old guys of the same generation in the conference room, including Zefa and Karp, looked at the Warring States with some envy and jealousy at this time. After all, they have dedicated their lives to the navy. Is it too much to want to be happy?

At their age, although years of habit can still drive them to do justice, to add bricks and tiles to the construction of the Navy, but honestly, everyone is tired and tired.

Who wouldn't be envious to see his former partner not only retiring, but also retiring after doing something that attracted the attention of the whole world?

But these old guys are too lazy to explain to the young people. After all, if these young people understand, then who will resist the future navy?

Moreover, when they were young, they were concealed from the previous generation. They didn't understand the value of life until they were seventy and eighty and injured. Why should they teach these young people? They are not old fools.

Just when the two age groups looked at the upcoming retirement of the Warring States Period with their own eyes, the time passed little by little, and the generals gathered more and more.

This time it was not a meeting of all the generals. After all, some generals, perhaps at the most critical moment of their mission, would be too much to force their recruitment.

The reason why Skyler was "forcibly" recruited was that on the one hand, she had colluded with her before, and Skyler had already agreed to come back; on the other hand, her voting value was too high.

Given Skyler's influence in the navy, the vote she cast may affect the decisions of a considerable number of neutral generals, and if he abstains from voting, the impact will also be great.

However, although it was not a meeting of all the generals, basically everyone who could arrive was present. At this time, the meeting room was full of darkness, waiting for the three generals and the three candidates.

Of course, everyone knows that Huang Yuan directly withdrew from the election. It's just that he, as a general, had to participate in this referendum. He didn't even go to the road show to win over the franchise countries.

And when there was only one minute left before the agreed meeting start time, the three generals Akaken, Kizoru, and Aokiji finally arrived, and Kizoru walked between them, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Half of his body was scorched by magma, and half of his body was infiltrated by ice. He Huang Yuan remembered that the two heavens of ice and fire did not mean this.

When the three generals stepped into the meeting room, the already quiet meeting room became even quieter, and the atmosphere gradually became dignified.

And the three generals sat in the reserved positions, which can be regarded as a symbol of the start of the meeting, but this time the person with the PPT fruit ability is not there, but it seems that he has already mixed up to the rank that can participate in the meeting.

It's just that this meeting is special, so it can only be presided over by Zhan Guo. After all, he is not afraid of offending anyone, and if he says something wrong, there will be no consequences.

At this time, Zhan Guo also stood up, walked up to the podium with two document bags, and put down the two documents, Zhan Guo said: "I believe my colleagues, I also know the purpose of our coming here.

The old man has already resigned from the post of marshal, and the purpose of letting everyone come here today is to select the next marshal.

The ballots of the world government and allied countries are already in the hands of the old man, and the next is our navy's own ballots. After today's voting, it cannot be changed or invalidated.

I don't want to waste your time too much. After all, we probably didn't know about this old man's resignation until today, so think about who you want to vote for.

There is no need to make any mystification, after all, we are also the last and most direct round of voting. Those who support Akainu, please raise your left hand, and those who support Aokiji, please raise your right hand. "

"Then what if they support Huang Yuan?"

When Zhan Guo was talking very seriously, Karp suddenly asked, Zhan Guo was taken aback for a moment, and then instantly burned with anger, how could Karp not know that Huang Yuan had withdrawn from the election.

It's just that it's impossible to say this kind of thing directly, so as not to be said by others, the admiral of the navy doesn't want to be the admiral of the navy, and there may be problems within the navy.

But Garp, the bastard, still asks this kind of question at this time, but it's not good not to answer, he coughed lightly, and said: "Those who support the yellow ape, don't raise your hand.

Don't be in a hurry to raise your hand, the old man hasn't said the votes for each general's choice. "

Seeing Garp start to switch between raising and retracting his hands, Sengoku almost wants to end up fighting Garp. This guy is really annoying. Haven't you seen how serious the situation is now? ! Where is this Karp doing aerobics? !

"Brigadier generals and major generals are counted as one vote, lieutenant generals have five votes, and generals have ten votes. If they also serve as the chief instructor of the navy, the chief inspector of the navy, the chief staff officer of the navy, and the marshal, an additional ten votes will be added."

After the Warring States finished speaking, Garp frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Then the old man only has five votes?"

As he said that, Garp looked around and found that besides himself, Zefa, Crane, Skyler, and Sengoku on the stage all had more valid votes than himself, and instantly became dissatisfied.

However, Zhan Guo showed a bastard smile. He was deliberately angry with Garp. After all, as long as the control is done properly, giving Karp five or ten votes will not affect at all, but Zhan Guo just won't give it! I don't want to give it!

"If there are no other questions, you can start to vote by show of hands."

Ignoring Karp's muttering, Sengoku announced directly, but no one raised his hand, after all, the person who should express his opinion has not yet expressed his opinion.

Huang Yuan looked back and found that no one had raised his hand, so he laughed and joked, "Hey, maybe they all want this old man to be a marshal~"

Everyone knew that this was impossible. With Huang Yuan's personality, he wouldn't even sign the letter of appointment when it was brought to his desk, let alone run for election. Maybe he just didn't want to make the atmosphere too solemn at this time.

Sitting in the first row at this time, except for the three generals who probably would not choose to vote, the rest are people who should vote with rhythm.

After all, whether it is Zefa, Crane, Karp or Skyler, their decisions will change the direction of many people, but everyone knows that Zefa will not vote, and Crane and Sengoku on stage may vote at the end.

Although Garp has a high status, today, there are probably not too many people who will follow him. Now almost all the generals are waiting for Schuyler to vote.

Although most of the generals thought that Schuyler would definitely choose Aokiji, after all, Schuyler was also a general of the dove faction, and many generals of the dove faction had smiles on their faces at this time.

After all, they feel that they have won. The number of dove generals is more than that of the hawks at this time. If Schuyler supports Aokiji, then they will pull the neutral navy over. At that time, they will be the doves. A crushing victory.

In the eyes of the generals of the Hawk Faction, there is some regret. It is a pity that Schuyler is not a general of their faction. Although Schuyler usually has a good relationship with them, few people think that Schuyler will choose to support Akainu at this time.

And the group of generals who followed Schuyler to fight in the new world were also very puzzled when they saw the stagnation of the atmosphere at this time, because they all thought of a possibility, that is, Schuyler would not support Aokiji .

After all, if it is really divided according to the factions in the past, whether it is for their own interests or prestige, Skyler will definitely vote for Aokiji, and there is no hesitation at all.

But Skyler's attitude now is very strange.

At this time, Aokiji also frowned slightly, he didn't have a ticket to Laschuyler, because he knew that a person like Skyler would not change his mind just because he was courted.

However, when the idea that Skyler would not support him rose in his mind, Aokiji was still a little panicked. After all, the large granary of the neutral general was almost tied to Skyler's hands.

Whoever she votes for wins, and Skyler has not chosen to vote for herself, so... maybe it is cruel.

At this time, Akainu's face, which was pretending to be calm, also changed a little. Although the two had talked about the marshal, Akainu didn't think Skyler would vote for him.

After all, even from the most superficial point of view, if Skyler does not vote for Aokiji, it is tantamount to betraying his own camp and faction. If Akainu sits in Skyler's position, it may be difficult to choose to vote for another person .

Although Akainu firmly believes that if he is the marshal, he will do better than Aokiji as the marshal, but he is sure, but there is no way to convince others.

What's more, Akainu doesn't think that after Aokiji becomes the marshal, the navy will decline, but it won't flourish like he leads the navy. Akainu still recognizes Aokiji's ability.

It is impossible for a person to have no selfishness at all, especially in the current situation. After all, if Skyler votes for him, he will break the inherent faction in the past, and at the same time offend Aokiji and a large number of dove generals.

And paying so much price, just to choose another general who may not be able to do better, such a choice is difficult for Akainu, let alone others.

But now, there seems to be a little bit of hope, which makes Chiquan start to look forward to it, and at the same time start to get nervous. After all, what if he just thinks too much in the end?

Under the gaze of countless people, Huang Yuan suddenly asked: "Skyler sauce~ Are you an old man~"

Skyler had maintained a tense expression, but he couldn't hold it any longer, and almost laughed out loud. This yellow ape is really a master of tricks, and I can never predict what kind of tricks he will make.

Skyler was really not that nervous. After all, she didn't worry about breaking the foundation of the existence of the two factions, and she didn't care what other generals thought. As for waiting, it was just pretending to be mysterious.

But unexpectedly, Huang Yuan completely broke his defense with a single sentence. Shaking his head, Skyler still raised his hand and made his own decision.

"Wow~"

The moment Skyler voted, the entire conference room seemed to explode. A group of high-ranking generals were making noise like naughty elementary school students in the classroom.

After all, Skyler raised her left hand, which means that the person she is supporting is Akainu, you know, that is Akainu! ! ! There were even some dove generals who couldn't hold back and shouted directly:

"Lieutenant General Skyler, to support General Aokiji is to raise your right hand, not your left!"

But Skyler was unmoved. After all, choosing to vote for Akainu was not a temporary choice, but a decision made a long time ago.

And Skyler knows that the two people, Crane and Sengoku, will pull the votes of Akakenu and Aokiji to the same level, perhaps to the extent that they are balanced with the other two votes in their hands.

That is to say, no matter who Skyler votes for, these two people will vote for another person, and even control the votes they can control, so as to balance the entire vote.

But at this time, the chaotic voices in the conference room could not stop, saying that Skyler still voted for the person whose identity she should not have voted for.

Akainu looked at Skyler in surprise at this time, but in surprise, he was also grateful. After all, Skyler voted for him, which was under the pressure of an entire faction.

Aokiji's face was very ugly. Although he had already guessed that Skyler would not vote for him just now, when it really happened, he still couldn't accept it peacefully.

In the midst of the chaos, two more generals made a choice, Ace and Luo, and Ace voted for Akainu without a doubt. After all, Akainu was both his former officer and a his teacher.

Therefore, Ace was also included in the hawk faction. He voted for Akainu.

Luo also raised his left hand, which is very puzzling. After all, Luo has almost never had any communication with Akainu. The only reason for him to vote for Akainu may be to follow the vote, to vote with Skyler.

And those generals who followed Skyler to clear the Whitebeard Sea in the past six months also made choices at this time. They all chose Akainu, and they all seemed to follow suit.

Among the neutral generals, some people also started to make choices. Smoker and Tina, who were sitting together, raised their left hands.

Both are centrists, but the reasons for becoming centrists are different.

Smoker offended Skyler when he just graduated, or before he graduated. As a result, almost no one dared to take him in, and he didn't belong to any faction.

And Tina has been working in logistics for so many years, and her black threshold unit is in charge of logistics. It is not necessary for logistics personnel to join that faction, so she has not become a general of any faction.

Although there are two neutral navies, there are still different attitudes towards the votes of the two in the conference room.

No one cared about Tina's choice. After all, Tina did have the freedom to vote, but Smoker Smoker also noticed that at this moment, countless dove generals glared at him.

Smoker also lowered his head at this time, not intending to fight against these generals. After all, he knew why these generals glared at him, because what he did was really unethical.

When he offended Skyler back then, no one in the entire navy dared to speak up for him, only Aokiji came forward. Although Aokiji did not include him in the detachment, it was the higher-ups who lobbied.

It can be said that Smoker didn't even have the qualifications to stay in the navy if it wasn't for Aokiji's appearance back then, so how could it be possible to have the current turn of events?

But this is how Smoker "repays" his benefactor?

Vote for Akainu, for this person who competes with Aokiji, is this what people should do? Is this what you Smoker should do?

It's a pity that this is a conference room, otherwise they would have to talk to Smoker. After all, Smoker's behavior is too inappropriate, and he should vote for Aokiji.

And there should be no hesitation, no excuses, and no other options to vote directly for Aokiji, because without Aokiji, there would be no General Smoker as he is today!

Hearing the continuous discussions in the rear, the two Aokiji couldn't help turning their heads and forgot to take a look. Looking at them, they found that the people who had raised their hands at this time, without exception, all supported Akainu.

Even seeing Smoker supporting Akainu, Aokiji's heart twitched violently.

His face became ugly, but... he finally turned his head back, unwilling to let others see his expression at this time, and he did not want to share with anyone the complicated and unspeakable emotions in his heart at this time.

It's just that the discussion of the generals in the rear didn't stop there. Amidst the conversation, the eyes of some dove generals became wandering.

After all, the decision made by Skyler brought about a situation where Aokiji was almost a loser. If they continued to choose Aokiji, they would most likely offend Akainu.

One of the characteristics of dove generals is that they tend to think too much. Unlike the generals of the hawks who advocate using force to suppress pirates, the doves prefer to solve problems with a more peaceful method.

This has led many dovish generals to like to overthink, and such doves have also attracted more strategic generals to join them.

At this time, quite a few of the dove generals have come to their senses. Since Akainu is almost certain to win, will they still vote for Aokiji?

After all, regardless of whether they voted for Aokiji or not, Aokiji was doomed to lose in this marshal election, and their votes, at most, decided that Aokiji would lose decently or ugly.

And for this face-saving project, is it really worthwhile to offend the future Marshal Akainu?

Or, be wiser, be more rational, and surrender directly to Akainu at this time? After all, in the final analysis, Akainu is not an enemy, but a colleague, and the previous tension was nothing more than a factional dispute.

They didn't have any grudges against Akainu, why should they continue to maintain the face of the soon-to-be-broken Dove faction when the existence of the faction has basically been broken by Schuyler?

The left hands of some dovish generals even started to move at this time. After all, Skyler took the lead, and Skyler had already voted for Akainu. It seemed that there was no problem with them voting again.

After all, after today, the dove faction is already a joke, and no general will say that he is a dove faction in the future, and without the dove faction, the opposing hawk faction will naturally cease to exist.

Just when many generals of the dove faction were planning to turn against Akainu, Tsuru finally couldn't help raising her hand. After all, she was also from the dove faction. If no one supported Aokiji, her face would be ashamed, and in that case Can't control the number of votes.

Seeing Crane's reaction, many of the dove generals who were about to raise their left hands stopped, and Crane was sending out a signal.

It's okay to lose, but it can't be too embarrassing. Even if it's not them who lose face, they still have to think about it.

Therefore, the noise in the conference room gradually subsided, and the generals made their own choices one after another.

Except for the three generals, Zefa, and Karp who "voted" for Kizaru, everyone else had already made their choice. Sengoku silently counted the number of votes at the scene, and Akainu led by exactly 20 votes. This coincidence made Sengoku a little bit Secretly delighted.

So under the watchful eyes of everyone, when Akainu could almost declare victory, Marshal Sengoku raised his right hand.
