Chapter 705: Kaido Playing by Peeing and Mixing with Mud?
In a normal world, the Reform of Government Departments would naturally be a top priority.
But in a world capable of gathering Extraordinary Power, these can only be considered background elements for the Peak Experts.
People prefer to focus their attention on these Powerhouses.
Driven by the Propaganda Department.
The former Regimental Commander of the Flying Pirates, the former Admiral of the Golden Lion Great Pirate Fleet, 'Flying Pirate' Shiki, received a special pardon from the World Government.
The news that he was about to join the Air Force Headquarters caused widespread discussion and much attention across the Major Seas of the World.
Some people were happy.
They believed that the Strength of the World Government Military had been further enhanced, which would definitely be of great help for future Otherworld Conquest.
But others questioned it.
They felt that the World Government Military had absorbed too many Pirate Figures. Putting aside whether their presence was a Hidden Danger, how should the Sins they committed before be handled?
A few days ago, when Douglas Bullet was promoted to Army Headquarters Admiral, this voice grew much louder.
This was because that guy had gone on a rampage in the Grand Line First Half Sea Area for a period of time before.
At that time, countless Ships and Humans were slaughtered by him.
Finally, it attracted the attention of Marine Headquarters, and Garp personally went to defeat and Arrest him. But now, several years later, he has actually become an Admiral in the Military?
Is this fair to the innocent people who died tragically before?
As for this voice, those who supported the World Government absorbing Pirate Powerhouses believed that the Otherworld War was related to the Fate of the Entire Sea Star.
On such Major Issues, one should not dwell on those small Personal Grudges.
These Powerhouses Originating from Pirates, as long as they contribute to the World Government and the Interests of the World, can actually be seen as Atonement by Good Deeds and Achieve Merit While Bearing Guilt.
Such a view was naturally met with fierce condemnation from the Dissenters.
They believed that what was said was too simplistic, casually asking others to be magnanimous and not dwell on Personal Grudges when they had not personally Experienced the Suffering of others losing Relatives and Friends.
But the former were also unyielding.
They retorted, what else could be done?
Should Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Douglas Bullet, Kaido, these Powerhouses Originating from Pirates, be removed from the Team?
What difference would that make to the World Government and the World, currently engaged in External Conquest, compared to Stab Oneself Multiple Times (Idiom)?
If they were defeated because of this one day, or even invaded by the Otherworld, causing the entire World to be Slaughtered and invaded, could you guys who dwell on Personal Grudges take responsibility?
Do you understand what the Overall Situation is?!
However, the World Government, as the Center of Public Opinion, remained silent, disdaining to respond to such a boring Matter.
This could be seen as tacitly supporting one side's viewpoint.
This was the Style of the World Government.
Haki.
It was in such a lively Atmosphere that Shiki, whose Head had recovered and whose legs were completely healed, walked out of the Main Gate of the World Hospital, dancing strangely and humming an accompaniment, swaying as he went, under the surprised Gaze of many Doctors, Nurses, Patients, and Family Members.
"Ahahahahaha! The Great Sea! The Sky! Your 'Flying Lion' is back!!"
Shiki let the cold Wind and Snow of Drum Kingdom blow onto his face, roaring loudly towards the Dark Clouds and Snowflakes in the High Altitude with a face full of Excitement, fully venting the pent-up frustration he had suppressed for several years.
Only those who have lost Freedom can truly understand how precious Freedom is.
For someone like him, Freedom, in a sense, was actually more important than Reputation or Dignity.
Initially.
Shiki had not Experienced the Feeling of losing Freedom, so he naturally refused the World Government's invitation twice for the sake of his Dignity.
But now he had Experienced the taste of being a 'Prisoner' for several years, and even having Control over his Body taken away. That was truly a more painful Experience than death.
Compared to that.
Serving as an Admiral (Air Force Headquarters) and leading an Air Fleet to engage in Otherworld Conquest, no matter how you looked at it, couldn't be more appealing.
It was just a pity that the World Government clearly wasn't willing to give him the Position of Air Force Headquarters Marshal.
Although he could understand the reason, he was still a bit unhappy.
On the Drum Peak Summit where heavy snow was falling, Shiki let his robe flutter loudly in the wind, gazing intently in the Direction of Marine Headquarters and muttering softly.
"Garp, just a mere Veteran. You're not qualified enough to block my path!"
In the blink of an eye, Time finally arrived at February 1st, silently, under the Watch by All.
At this moment.
On a certain Uninhabited Desolate Island in the First Half of the Grand Line, the surrounding Sea Area had been blockaded by the Marine Headquarters Fleet, and Flying Warships belonging to the Air Force Headquarters were slowly floating in the air.
Among them were several 'News-Specific Flying Ships' recently allocated for the Propaganda Department's use.
After all.
They couldn't always have a group of Propaganda Department Officials occupying Warships every time a Live Broadcast or Relay Broadcast was needed, so they simply got them a few Airships directly.
And now, a new 'Summit War' was about to begin.
'Golden Lion' Shiki VS Garp 'The Fist'!
People already knew that if Shiki could defeat Garp or last five days without being defeated, it would be considered a successful Challenge and he would be directly promoted to Admiral (Air Force Headquarters).
But if he failed, he would 'only' Obtain the Military Rank of Air Force Headquarters Admiral.
Which is below Kaido.
For Shiki, this could be considered a disgrace. After all, when he was a 'High Cadre' in the Rocks Pirates back then, Kaido was just a Trainee.
In the Center of the Island.
Shiki gripped his Meito 'Sakura Jū' and 'Kogarashi' with both hands, looking at Garp opposite him and laughing wildly without restraint.
"Jie hahahaha!"
"Garp, be careful! I'm serious this time! I advise you to take it easy, otherwise, if you get injured, don't blame me for being too heavy-handed on you, my Colleague~"
Although he had been captured by Garp and sent to Impel Down before, he felt that was because Sengoku was also there.
In that Situation, even if Rocks were resurrected, he would have been defeated.
But now was different.
In a One-on-One Battle, Shiki didn't believe Garp could defeat his fully recovered self!
"Puhahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Garp immediately returned a burst of laughter. This could be considered a way for Powerhouses in this World to greet each other.
"Shiki, don't even think about Air Force Admiral! That Position is too early for you!"
"You should first serve under that Kid Kaido for a few years and get some Training!"
In the Zou Base belonging to the Air Force Headquarters in the New World, Kaido, who was also Watching Live Broadcast, paused the action of raising his Wine Gourd to his mouth when he heard Garp's words. Then, he threw his Head back and laughed wildly.
"Worororo~~"
"'Golden Lion' serving under me? That's actually a pretty good idea! I'll apply to have him be my Adjutant then!"
However, Kaido seemed to have forgotten that besides himself, there was another person in this Office.
King asked faintly, "Big Brother (Term of Address), what about me?"
"Pfft----"
The Drink he had just poured into his mouth was completely sprayed out by Kaido's sudden question. He awkwardly rubbed his Head and explained, "I was just joking, of course. I can't keep Shiki under control..."
King pursued faintly, "So the problem is whether you can keep him under control? If you could, Big Brother, were you planning to abandon me?"
"This."
Kaido opened his mouth, unsure what to say. Fortunately, at this moment, Shiki's Roar on the Screen Feed saved him from the awkwardness, but hearing it made the Atmosphere even more awkward.
"Kaido?"
"When I was dominating the Great Sea, that Kid was still Playing by Peeing and Mixing with Mud (Idiom) in Hachinosu!"
