Chapter 702: Borsalino is Retiring!
This time, the Commendation and Award Ceremony held by the Supreme Military Command was a success.
Because the impact it had on the World Government Military, and even the entire Sea Star, was not only enormous but also far-reaching.
If the addition of an Army Headquarters Admiral greatly boosted the confidence of countless officers and civilians, and the new Military Rank System and new Medal System raised the morale of millions of Officer and Soldier across the Three Forces.
Then.
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, at the end of the Conference, announced the official implementation of the 'Twenty-Level Military Merit Peerage System', which caused incredible ecstasy among everyone except a portion of the Royalty and Nobility.
As long as one enlists in the Military and bravely kills enemies on the Battlefield, accumulating Military Merit, they can use it to exchange for various 'Secret Treasure' or 'Peerage'.
The 'Secret Treasure' will not be discussed for now.
The key is that this 'Peerage' is truly full of Temptation.
Who would have thought that the World Government would actually place the Stairs leading to the 'Noble Class' before them?
'Peerage' represents Noble Status and Title, represents the ability to own one's own Territory, and represents the Qualification to prioritize obtaining better Education for one's children.
In the eyes of most Civilian, becoming Nobility is basically synonymous with wealth and prosperity.
For a Time.
In the Major Seas of the Sea Star, in the various Kingdom, and even on the numerous Small Island scattered across The Seas, people everywhere were enthusiastically discussing this Matter.
The Supreme Military Command had long anticipated the development of the current Situation and immediately issued a 'World Military Draft' aimed at the Entire Sea Star.
And in the Announcement, it was directly declared that two million soldiers would be recruited!
This caused countless Able-Bodied Youth to emerge from Various Places across the Sea Star. They traveled on Ships of all sizes, following the Requirement in the Announcement, heading to the designated Marine Branch Base in their respective Sea Area.
It is worth mentioning.
Due to Dragon's leadership and the cooperation of Marine Headquarters over the past few years, most Marine Branch have gradually transitioned into local Police Station.
At the same time, Sengoku established four new Branch in the Four Seas: East Blue, South Blue, West Blue, and North Blue, including G-9, G-10, G-11, and G-12.
Furthermore, four Vice Admiral were appointed as Base Commander, four Rear Admiral as Deputy Base Commander, eighty Marine Headquarters Officer of various Ranks as Core Members, and each Vice Admiral was assigned three Headquarters-Grade Large Warship and three thousand Marine Headquarters Soldier as the basic Military Power.
They first need to absorb the remaining Branch Marine, provide Training according to the Requirement of Marine Headquarters, and then maintain the Maritime Order within their respective Sea Areas.
Simply put.
In the future, there will no longer be a large number of Marine Branch, only these four G-Branch Base, guarding the Central Area of the Four Seas.
Because the Public Order on Land and Islands no longer requires their Management.
The Marines only deal with Matter on the Sea.
Therefore, the destination for the Able-Bodied Youth from the Four Seas who are full of Hot Blood and want to enlist is these four newly established Marine Branch Base.
As for the people in the Grand Line First Half Sea Area and Second Half of the Grand Line.
They can choose based on the Position of their Island.
Choose one from G-1 to G-8 Base as their Registration Point.
Then they will undergo Registration and three months of Basic Training at these G-Branch Base.
After three months.
They will then be sent in batches to Marine Headquarters, Army Headquarters, and Air Force Headquarters for reporting, based on their personal performance, willingness, and the personnel Requirement of each Military.
For a Time, a fervent Enlistment Craze was completely ignited outside the Sea Star.
And within the Military.
The 'Military Merit Statistics Department' newly established by the Staff Department in the Army Headquarters, Marine Headquarters, and Air Force Headquarters respectively.
Was once completely blocked by a large number of Officers, to the point where not even water could pass. Everyone hoped to check their accumulated Military Merit as soon as possible and see what Rank of Peerage they could exchange for.
Finally, Tsuru couldn't stand it anymore and immediately issued an Order for everyone to go back first.
Then she told them that within the next few days, the 'Military Merit Statistics Department' would use Den Den Mushi to prioritize informing those above Commodore of their specific Military Merit Data.
If someone did not receive a notification after a week, they could come back and inquire then.
As for those below Commodore, they would negotiate with the Command Department to issue each person's Military Merit Data sequentially, unit by unit at the company level.
Regarding this.
Although the group of Officers were still somewhat unwilling, facing Tsuru's Prestige and Strength, they could only sigh and leave.
Although the 'Military Merit Peerage System' has various Benefits, it has indeed caused Popular Support within the Military to become restless at the moment.
This phenomenon is normal and will naturally subside once most people have seen their Military Merit and successfully exchanged for the required 'Secret Treasure' or 'Peerage'.
"Puhahaha!"
In the Fleet Admiral's Office at Marine Headquarters, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly rang out, extremely Familiarize to the Officers coming and going nearby.
Before Garp, who held Senbei in one hand, a Light Screen projected by a Video Den Den Mushi appeared. The Content on it was precisely the Situation of the Military Merit he had accumulated over the past few decades.
"This Old Man can actually become some First-Class Count, this Sea Star is changing in such an interesting way!"
"Alalala, as expected of Mr. Garp, my accumulated Military Merit seems to only be enough to exchange for a Second-Class Viscount."
Kuzan, sitting on the Sofa opposite Garp, chuckled lightly while resting his Chin on his hand.
"That's because he defeated Rocks back then, saving quite a few Celestial Dragons, plus arresting Roger a few years ago, and then capturing Shiki with me. All these things added up give him the current number one Military Merit in the Whole Army."
Sengoku watched Garp, who was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes, helplessly.
However, even Garp's Military Merit is only enough for a First-Class Count, which shows how high the Requirement for this set of 'Twenty-Level Military Merit Peerage System' is.
According to the News revealed by Tsuru.
Currently, only a dozen or so Colonel in the Whole Army have Military Merit that barely meets the standard for exchanging for a Fourth-Class Baron.
Besides that, everyone else is above Commodore.
But if they exchange for other 'Secret Treasure', then most people's Military Merit will not be enough to exchange for a Peerage.
This creates a Dilemma for people.
Should they choose to exchange for a 'Secret Treasure' that can quickly improve their Combat Power or Ability, or exchange for a low-Rank Peerage and a not-so-large Territory?
"So, Garp, what do you think? Are you going to exchange for this First-Class Count?"
Sengoku and Kuzan waited curiously for Garp to make his Choice. Garp stopped laughing and said disdainfully, "This Old Man has no interest in being some Noble Lord."
"Garp, the Territory of a First-Class Count is a full thousand square kilometers, which is comparable to the entire Goa Kingdom! You can also enjoy all sorts of Privileged Treatment and receive tens of millions of Berry in Salary every year. Are you sure you're not Temptation?"
Sengoku at this moment was like a villain trying to provoke an old boy, his tone filled with strong suggestive meaning.
Garp retorted, "After getting the Territory, then what? Who's going to manage it? Do you want me to Retirement, back to being a Noble Lord?"
"This..."
Sengoku was taken aback and thought to himself, 'That's right, if Garp becomes a Count and focuses solely on managing his Territory, wouldn't I lose an Admiral Level Combat Power here?'
Of course, he also knew Garp was just joking.
At this moment, Sengoku suddenly thought of something, his Expression changed drastically, and his Right Hand hurriedly reached for a nearby Den Den Mushi, but he didn't expect it to start calling out 'Purururu' by itself.
Instantly, the Fleet Admiral's Pupil suddenly contracted, and a strong sense of Unease arose in his Heart.
"Hello?"
Garp and Kuzan looked over with Doubt.
"Sengoku!"
"That Bastard Borsalino is planning to use all his Military Merit to exchange for a Third-Class Viscount and then Retirement to become a Noble Lord!!"
Zephyr's Roar and Anger were perfectly imitated by the Den Den Mushi.
"..."
Kuzan, Garp, and Sengoku were Petrification on the spot upon hearing this.
What kind of joke is this?
