"Sakazuki!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru said indifferently, "Don't bring out such methods to make a fool of yourself!"
There are also factional conflicts within Navy Headquarters.
Compared to the laid-back Admiral Aokiji and the clock-in-and-out Borsalino, the iron-blooded hawk-style Sakazuki was the Navy Admiral with the most support from the lower ranks.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to overturn the Five Elders' desire for Admiral Aokiji to become Fleet Admiral in the future.
"I don't understand."
Sakazuki naturally wouldn't admit that he had secretly sent his personal guards to shout.
If this kind of thing worked out, there would be unexpected pleasant surprises; as long as he didn't admit it, there would be no loss even if Vice Admiral Tsuru found out.
"Are we going to choose Admiral Aokiji, or the old hero Garp?"
"Smoker should be the Navy's number one right now, shouldn't he?"
The noisy discussions made Vice Admiral Tsuru frown, and she asked, "Mr. Fang Yi, can Fleet Admiral Sengoku draw the lottery?"
Since the factions couldn't agree on a conclusion, leaving it to the Fleet Admiral was the best decision.
"No."
Fang Yi explained patiently, "Only by obtaining a contract fruit and becoming a player can one participate in game activities. Although Sengoku became a player by selling Navy bases, he did not participate in this game activity in the East Blue."
For the Contaminated Lord hunting lottery, if one wanted to transfer the qualification, the transferee would at least need contribution points from fighting the Contaminated Lord.
What should be done about this?
Vice Admiral Tsuru frowned deeply.
The eyes of the Navy's high-ranking officials were all fixed on her. As the Navy's strategist, Tsuru, though a Vice Admiral, possessed on-site decision-making authority akin to that of the Fleet Admiral.
Her words would determine the future structure of the Navy.
Only Garp hadn't realized this, still leisurely eating senbei and donuts.
Fang Yi was well aware of Vice Admiral Tsuru's concerns.
Even when besieged by tens of thousands of players, Vice Admiral Tsuru had never shown such a conflicted expression.
It's the same for any force: uneven resource distribution is the most important reason for morale decline, especially on the eve of a major battle, which could very likely determine the outcome of the war.
"Since that's the case, why not leave it to the Navy's will?"
Seeing Vice Admiral Tsuru hesitate, Fang Yi extended his hand and gently pointed to the center of the Navy camp.
All Navy personnel who had participated in the Contaminated Lord hunt glowed with a faint white light, carrying a subtle force, wanting to push the pointer of the disk forward.
"The collective will of eight thousand seven hundred and sixty-four Navy members will decide the reward the Navy can draw, how about that?"
This method was undoubtedly a perfect way to bypass Navy factions.
Everyone would work together, and no one could secretly monopolize it.
"Mr. Fang Yi, the prize drawn is related to the will and wishes of the drawer. With such a large number of drawers, will it interfere with the prize?"
"The final prize depends on the collective will of the Navy."
Fang Yi politely replied, "If the Navy's will is to rule the world, and even the lowest-ranking soldiers share the same idea, the prize drawn will be related to ruling the world."
"If the Navy's will is to protect the world, then they can also receive a prize that aligns with that will."
This group-will lottery model was like a public execution.
Hadn't Navy Headquarters always proclaimed to be the guardians of peace in the Four Seas?
Now was the time to witness their will.
If any prize drawn was unrelated to guardianship, every word Navy Headquarters had ever said would be like a slap in their own faces.
Even Vice Admiral Tsuru was unsure.
She trusted most of the excellent Navy soldiers, but she couldn't trust all of them; human nature was the hardest thing to test.
Corrupt Captain Nezumi, the Vice Admirals who obeyed World Government orders to massacre innocent people and launch Buster Calls,
And the Navy mid-level officers who regarded Alabasta's plight as nothing.
These were the things Vice Admiral Tsuru worried about.
But it had come to this; retreating now would only confirm the darkness within the Navy, so she had to go through with it, even if reluctantly.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Vice Admiral Tsuru bowed slightly, nervously staring at the slowly rotating disk.
Five dazzling golden disks, like suns suspended in the sky, attracted everyone's attention.
Slowly, the golden disks overlapped.
Each overlap eliminated some lower-quality rewards.
Until finally, the brilliant golden light was almost stinging the players' eyes.
"Damn Navy, I'm at odds with you!"
Doflamingo's lips curled up, his smile very forced, and the bulging veins on his forehead indicated his current irritable mood.
If the first kill being snatched by the Revolutionary Army Leader was due to his own lack of strength, he accepted it.
But later, after selling off half of Dressrosa and creating several high-level puppets, he was still outmaneuvered by the Navy.
"I can't sell the entire Dressrosa..."
Immediately after, Doflamingo thought of this matter.
The original plan should have been to kill all followers of the Riku Royal Family; could there still be people who held hope for the Riku Royal Family?
Beside him,
Hawkeye stood on the deck of the Red Force, turning aside to avoid Red-Haired Shanks' arm reaching over.
"It's a pity the Navy doesn't have true swordmasters; it's highly unlikely they'll draw a prize related to swordsmanship."
Hawkeye felt it was a shame.
He already stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the Pirate World, yet he still wanted to stand on tiptoe and see what lay higher up.
Shanks, like sticky candy, ignored Hawkeye's disgusted gaze and squeezed next to him, asking, "Aren't you worried? Publicly exchanging Navy warships and becoming enemies with Navy Headquarters, the stronger the Navy gets, the more dangerous your situation becomes."
Even if the World Government hadn't officially issued a document,
The current situation at Navy Headquarters clearly indicated it was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Five Elders, and the Shichibukai were in name only.
"It doesn't matter."
Originally, Hawkeye's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and his entire swordsman's aura emanated from within.
But now,
Although his gaze was equally cold, in Shanks' eyes, it was like a treasured sword with its edge hidden, sheathed.
Hawkeye noticed the change in Shanks' gaze.
He turned his head and saw the fleeting battle intent in his eyes, saying, "If you want to fight, I can accompany you."
Shanks asked in surprise, "To hear that from your mouth! Normally, I, with a severed arm, shouldn't be accepted for a fight by you, right?"
He was not only surprised by Hawkeye's willingness to fight but also by Hawkeye's keen perception.
His Observation Haki had reached the strongest level in the Pirate World; even a fleeting battle intent would be very difficult to detect.
"You, with a severed arm, are certainly not my opponent."
Hawkeye said matter-of-factly, "My intention is not merely a swordsmanship contest, but for you to use your full power, including the Haki that Red-Haired Shanks prided himself on when he ascended to the Four Emperors."
"I will control my four-dimensional attributes to the same intensity as yours and defeat you!"
Once, swordsmanship in the Pirate World was suppressed by the two mainstream powers: Devil Fruit and Haki.
Even he, who was called the Strongest Swordsman, was merely a name.
But now, Hawkeye was confident in fighting anyone in the Pirate World.
Any ability would be subservient to swordsmanship!
