Chapter 447: Plotted by the 5 Old Stars
Just when Vic and his friends returned to paradise, the powers in the holy land of Marijoa were discussing Vic's past, present and future!
"We should have paid attention to Vic when he fought with Sakaski before, but we didn't pay too much attention to him because of his status as a new recruit. Who could have thought that he would grow to this point in just over a year, with one achievement after another, and all of them were great achievements!" said the bald-eyed Five Elders in a cold voice.
"With his combat power, he can gain a lot of credit just by taking a casual trip on the sea. However, the credit that really affects the position of Navy Admiral is not easy to get. It requires great reputation to support it." The bearded Five Elders said lightly.
"Golden Lion was taken there by Garp without telling us. Barrett is a task that the Navy must eliminate. Once the news of Barrett's arrest is released, his reputation will soar again. We can't cover up his contribution and not let it be published in the newspaper. In order to calm people's hearts, Barrett's arrest must be published in the newspaper. The Navy will not agree if it is not published." The blond Five Elders stated.
"By then, Vic's reputation will definitely reach the minimum standard for promotion to admiral of the navy. What after that? It's impossible for him to have no merits forever, right? With such strong combat power, if he really wants to make merits, he can catch a lot of pirates!" asked the curly-haired Five Elders. What he wanted was a solution.
"Vic and his warships have just crossed the Red Earth Continent and arrived in the lower world. We still have time to think of countermeasures.
When the Navy Headquarters gives him another mission, it must be a very important mission. The Navy cannot leave its powerful combat force unused.
If we wait for the Navy to issue an order before forcibly withdrawing, it will definitely affect Vic's loyalty to the Navy, and he must know that we are targeting him.
Although we don’t want to promote him to general right now, we can’t make it too obvious either.”
The bald and mustachioed Five Elders continued, saying that they wanted Vic's powerful fighting force, but did not want to give him the position of admiral, and they also could not let the person himself know that their world government did not want to do so.
"Since we can't let Kong and the others give us tasks, why don't we find something for Vic to do, something that takes a long time and doesn't bring any obvious credit." The curly-haired Five Elders said as he stuck his cane on the ground.
“I suggest calling Borsalino back and letting Vic protect the safety of Beijia Punk. Doesn’t Beijia Punk want to research powerful attacking moves?
They are both natural, so lightning can't be weaker than light. I have protected Bei's Punk for a long time, and my contribution is not obvious. It's just right for me to show my face after Borsalino comes back and brush up my reputation before the promotion." The curly-haired Five Elders continued expressionlessly.
"It is indeed feasible to exchange the two, but my idea is to implement the previously drafted Shichibukai policy in advance.
Sending Vic to test the strength of the candidate pirates, he has the final say on who will be the Shichibukai, this mission is not very rewarding, and it is to select pirates to become legal plunderers,
No matter who he chooses to be the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it will cause dissatisfaction among many people. There are many marines in the navy who hate evil. Choosing pirates as the same camp? They will definitely not accept it.
Another thing is that the families and colleagues of the marines who died at the hands of these Shichibukai, as well as the civilians who were harmed by the Shichibukai, will be dissatisfied. Even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not say anything to our world government.
In the end, those people will pour out their anger on Vic, and Vic's reputation may decrease instead of increase!" The bald Five Elders said, adjusting his glowing glasses. The plan was indeed vicious.
"I have also thought of two or three plans, but your plan is more effective. One is moderate, and the other is an open conspiracy. Do you have any other good suggestions?" The blond Five Elders thought for a moment and said to the other two Five Elders who had not expressed their opinions.
The five elders with moustaches and long beards remained silent and agreed with the statement of the five elders with blond hair. Both tasks were very important and could not be done by ordinary people. It was reasonable and legal to entrust them to a strong man like Vic.
Even Garp had no way to refute it. He could only grit his teeth and eat one of the Coptis chinensis. If Sengoku and Sora hadn't said anything, Garp and Wick might not have thought that the World Government was behind it.
So the two options were discussed among the powers that be to see what task would be more appropriate for Vic.
Meanwhile, Vic has already arrived on the deck of the warship and is chatting with a few people, completely unaware that his immediate superior in the navy is plotting against him!
The navy will definitely not limit its own people. The navy top brass would love to have more admirals, but it is different for the World Government. They only want to balance the forces on the sea. The number of navy admirals depends on the power of the New World.
......
Vic wants to take Barrett to Impel Down, and the fastest way is to go through the whirlpool inside the Gate of Justice, so Vic and the others plan to go to the Navy Headquarters first, and going through the Gate of Justice there is the fastest.
It just so happened that Gion and Kake had not returned to the headquarters for a long time. They had made great contributions by capturing Barrett and his gang this time. They had received a call from the headquarters asking them to return to the headquarters. Combined with the military merits they had accumulated before, if nothing unexpected happened, they would be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general together with Vic.
It was very close to the Naval Headquarters from Red Harbor, even closer than to Shampoo and Shampoo, so it only took Vic and his team about two hours to reach the port of the Naval Headquarters.
"Kaji, Gion! You two can go back to headquarters now. I will be fine with you on the warship. You have been at sea for more than half a year. Go back to headquarters and reunite with your friends and family. We will be back soon."
Vic told Kake and Gion that they had been through a lot during this period, and had been exhausted and injured. Most importantly, Vic wanted to stay away from Gion.
This girl has really gotten addicted to it. Now she wants it every day. She is so lustful that she becomes lustful. Although Vic doesn't need to use his body to help her, he can't use his abilities either. This is too exciting. He almost exploded several times.
"Okay! I've wanted to get off the warship for a long time. I'm so pissed off seeing you guys being so sloppy every day. I'm leaving. Out of sight, out of mind!"
Kaji has indeed suffered a lot during this period. What kind of feeling is it to see his goddess looking at other men with loving eyes every day?
Kake wanted to beat up the two men, but he didn't dare to do so with Gion, and he couldn't beat Vic either. His teeth were almost broken. However, what he didn't know was that his goddess went to Vic for a massage every night. If she knew about this, she would probably faint from anger.
After saying that, Kake jumped directly onto the port, as if he didn't want to stay there even for a second. If he hadn't wanted to say hello, he would have probably run away on his moon steps when he saw the port.
When several people saw Kaji's frustrated and embarrassed figure, they couldn't help laughing. Kaji was a quite interesting person, easy-going and friendly. He became friends with several people after hanging out with them for a while.
