Chapter 261

Under Yang Ming's arrangement and command, a large number of naval soldiers began to station on various major islands to count the number of injured soldiers, coordinate the captured wealth and prisoners, and do a good job in counting the merits after the war.

All of this, due to the established structure of the navy, everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

According to subsequent statistics, the navy's total number of casualties was more than 1,000, which seems to be a large number, but if placed among the two to three hundred thousand troops, it is an insignificant number. This is because these wounded soldiers were killed by the enemy's large-scale skills. The injuries were caused by the lack of time to use treatment drugs. Otherwise, this number could be further reduced.

As for forces like the Vinsmoke family, they are completely incomparable to the navy.

Even though the Vinsmoke family was wary of each other and the Vinsmoke family did not allow the navy to come to investigate the truth, just by seeing the bleak faces of the Vinsmoke family members, one could roughly guess that their casualties would definitely reach an astonishing level. Degree. .

As for the wealth that the Bigo Pirates had acquired over the years, it really shocked everyone.

When the navy soldiers carried the heavy treasure boxes out of the treasure caches on the major islands, even generals such as Akainu Admiral Sakaski and Aokiji Admiral Kuzan couldn't help but help the Bigo Pirates. The wealth of the country is truly shocking.

Gold, jewelry, antiques, Baileys, stocks, real estate...

All kinds of property were displayed in front of everyone one by one, and the large series of numbers was enough to blind anyone's eyes.

The Bigo Pirates plundered so much wealth that in the end, Yang Ming was forced to find a large island that was less affected by the war, specifically to house this batch of treasure.

But even so, a large amount of treasure is still piled up on the island, making everyone who comes and goes unable to help but swallow a gulp of saliva.

There used to be a joke about using money to kill people.

It has to be said that the wealth of the Bigo Pirates can indeed kill people.

Even if you only get one-tenth of the wealth here, it can instantly change a person's life, from a beggar to a rich man with unparalleled wealth.

The invited forces, such as the members of the Vinsmoke family, almost turned green when they saw this huge amount of wealth from a distance.

If other forces had such a large amount of wealth, some people would inevitably choose to take risks when wealth moved people's hearts.

In particular, there are many bounty hunters here. The so-called bounty hunters are a nice name, but they are actually a group of vultures wandering in the gray area. They not only hunt pirates with bounties on them, but occasionally also There will be guest roles like bandits.

Many of these bounty hunters subconsciously placed their hands on the handles of knives and guns around their waists, eager to grab a handful and run away.

These bounty hunters have no foundation. Once they run away, it is really difficult for others to catch them.

However, when these bounty hunters and people from various major forces looked up and saw Marshal Shura sitting on the Frost Throne, they all lowered their heads in unison and strangled the desires that had just arisen in their hearts in the bud. middle.

Although wealth can move people's hearts, one must have a life to enjoy it!

Didn’t you see that even aunt Charlotte Lingling was defeated by Marshal Shura after Shiji the Golden Lion and Kaido the Beast?

Yang Ming sat on the Frost Throne, holding his chin with one hand, squinting his eyes slightly, with a hint of a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but his contented expression was full of an awe-inspiring feeling. He was so frightening that no one with a sinister heart would dare to raise his head and look at him.

"It's so boring."

"I originally thought that some fools would jump out and rob this wealth, and then I would have an excuse to get rid of these forces and bounty hunters present, but I didn't expect that they are all so shameless."

Yang Ming sighed quietly in his heart.

Many forces and individuals present felt an inexplicable chill down their backs for some unknown reason, as if they had just had a brush with death.

If they had known Yang Ming's inner thoughts, they would have already shouted that they were lucky, and would not be able to stay still for a moment, and would immediately turn around and run away.

"In that case, let's follow normal procedures and reward based on merit."

Having made this decision in his heart, Yang Ming suddenly straightened up and said loudly:

"Our army has won a great victory against the Bigo Pirates this time. Now we will begin to reward you based on your merits."

"Akainu, first-class meritorious deeds, was awarded 1 billion beli, a devil fruit of his choice, the title of New World Crusade Envoy, and the ability to command an army of 100,000 people.

"Qing Pheasant, with first-class merit, will be awarded 1 billion beli. He can choose a devil fruit and be named the Governor of Beihai, taking charge of all matters in Beihai."

"Fujitora, first-class meritorious service, was awarded 1 billion beli, and was appointed as the admiral of all nations, taking charge of the government and people's livelihood of all nations. I hope you will recover as soon as possible and restore all nations to their original state.

"..."

Rewards were distributed one after another on the spot. Many naval officers, from generals to ordinary soldiers, watched with envy and hatred from other forces and individuals. They went to the mountain of treasures to get their own share. He happily stuffed the treasure into his trouser pocket and left with satisfaction.

Among them, there are also many people with sharp minds, such as Lieutenant General Jonathan, who keenly smelled something unusual in the rewards given by the three navy generals.

The three generals of the Navy are in an embarrassing situation with no rewards and no seals, because if they want to go further, they need to force Yang Ming, the Shura Marshal, away, but this is obviously an unrealistic delusion. After all, Yang Ming is only in his teens now, and there are still at least fifty years before he retires at the age of sixty-five!

If they wait until Yang Ming retires before they can take over, the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold by then.

The navy has a strict system. If a lower-ranking officer wants to be promoted to a higher-ranking officer, he or she must follow the rules. Otherwise, even if he rises to the top through force, it will be difficult to gain recognition from others.

It is precisely because of this special reason that the rewards given by Yang Ming to the three generals of the navy, in addition to the normal rewards based on merit, have an inexplicable meaning, which makes every general My heart shuddered.

Chapter 423 Aftermath

The navy has a strict system. If a lower-ranking officer wants to be promoted to a higher-ranking officer, he or she must follow the rules. Otherwise, even if he rises to the top through force, it will be difficult to gain recognition from others.

It is precisely because of this special reason that the rewards given by Yang Ming to the three generals of the navy, in addition to the normal rewards based on merit, have an inexplicable meaning, which makes every general My heart shuddered.

In this list of merit-based rewards, Yang Ming proposed the title and position of New World Crusade Envoy for the first time. He awarded it to General Akainu Sakaski and gave him the power to dispatch 100,000 troops. It seemed very tempting. , but in fact it rises and falls secretly.

You must know that every admiral has the power to launch the Demon-Slaying Order. The standard configuration of the Demon-Slaying Order is one admiral and five vice-admirals, and it can even be matched with more people.

This also means that once the admiral launches the demon-slaying order, he can mobilize more than 100,000 troops in minutes.

At the same time, the New World is the exclusive preserve of all the powerful men. To confer General Akainu Sakaski as the New World Crusade Envoy is to roast him on the fire.

When it comes to conferring the title of General Kuzan on Green Pheasant, Yang Ming made no secret of his intentions. The Governor of Beihai hinted that this would be a post for General Kuzan to retire to the second line for retirement.

As for General Fujitora's seal, it seems to be the least, but in fact it is the most generous.

After all, General Fujitora Ichisaki is a direct descendant of Yang Ming. He has followed Yang Ming all the way up through the ranks since the West Sea. His loyalty and ability are obvious to all. To confer General Fujitora Isho as the admiral of all nations is equivalent to making the Bigo Pirates A piece of land was entrusted to him, allowing General Fujitora to become a powerful prince with a smile.

Of course, after the war, all nations and industries have withered. General Fujitora Yixiao, a great prince who is divided into one side, is not worthy of his name. He is more to guard one side and restore the people's livelihood and production of all nations.

Wanguo has a superior geographical location and abundant natural resources. Once developed well, it will definitely become a stable logistics base in the future.

Although Yang Ming has moved Empress Boya Hancock and her Amazon Lily Kingdom to a different space, and the former members of the Nine Snakes Pirates have returned to their fields and are working hard to farm, Yang Ming has always liked to make decisions before taking action. He has always been inclined to be cunning, so he naturally hopes to have as many logistical bases as possible, because what he is about to do will inevitably lead to a complete break with the World Government and Lord Im, and the more preparation he makes, the more trump card he will have in his hand.

After Yang Ming's reward, everyone gained a lot, but it made others jealous and wanted to take their place.

But no matter what, their navy was powerful, so they could only stare blankly, unable to do anything. They could only blame themselves for their incompetence. In this crusade, the gains could not make up for the losses.

A great war slowly came to an end, but the aftermath of the war has not subsided for a long time, and as time goes by, the impact of this storm continues to intensify.

Bellmeier, editor-in-chief of Guangming Newspaper, wrote the article himself, and relevant reports spread like snowflakes around the world.

"Marshal Shura declares: It is urgent to carry out special operations to eradicate bandits, pirates, and mafia on a regular basis, and we must not allow the slightest trace of evil to exist!"

"Navy Shock Release: Fight resolutely to the end, not even the Four Emperors can stop the Navy's iron fist!" 》

"Old Hero Garp: Why Do Our Navy Fight?" Everything is for the welfare of the people! 》

"The defeat of the Bigo Pirates sounded the death knell for the end of the Yonko!" 》ap.

When such newspapers spread to every corner of the world, many forces were shocked and attracted attention!

New world.

A pirate ship with a red dragon as its bow drifted along the waves. This ship named Red Foss was the ship of the Four Emperor Red-haired Shanks.

The waves gently slapped the bow, sides and sides of the ship. When it slid forward, it was as light as a swallow skimming the water.

On the tall mast erected in the middle of the Red Forth, the white sails were dyed red by the evening sun, like a huge red silk fluttering in the wind.

The ship's deck floats slightly up and down as the water ripples.

The red-haired Shanks changed his usual frivolity, holding the newspaper in one hand and staring at the contents of the newspaper with a solemn expression.

"Eagle Eye, it seems that things are going up again and again. Before, we thought that the Lord of Darkness, Li Qing, was a huge threat. We didn't expect that Marshal Shura was our most important threat at the moment.

Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk untied the wine gourd and lowered his head to take a sip of wine.

It seems like a random action, but in fact, his sharp eagle eyes are carefully looking at the endless reports in the newspaper. If you ignore the headlines, you will find some interesting details in the column reports behind. For example, existences such as the former king of the underground world, the king of loan sharks Du Felder, and the king of transportation Umet all died in that war.

The kings of the underground world once occupied the world's most important businesses such as transportation, warehousing and freight, loan sharking, etc. When they died on the battlefield, logically speaking, there should be a huge vacuum of power and interests left. It will attract many powerful people to compete for a piece of this gluttonous feast.

But until today, Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk has never heard of another war in the new world. It's like everyone is silent. This is obviously unhuman and illogical.

If all impossible options are eliminated, there is only one reason that can be explained, and that is that there is a person or force that no one can afford to offend, and after the kings of the underground world die in battle, they will fight in the shortest possible time. Only by occupying the power and territory left by them at such a speed will other people become jealous and not dare to have unyielding intentions.

So who has the ability to do this?

The answer is already there.

Marshal Shura, Yang Ming!

Perhaps, this is the real value behind these newspapers!

"The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared!"

Even Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk couldn't help but sigh like this.

After all, even Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk could never imagine that Marshal Shura, who was only a teenager, could actually do what the previous Warring States Marshal wanted to do but could not do. Not only did he conquer the enemy in one fell swoop The Bigo Pirates even had a surprisingly large appetite, and they actually wiped out all the kings of the underground world together. Such a bold act was unprecedented and unprecedented.

Chapter 424 Lord Im’s conspiracy

After all, even Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk could never imagine that Marshal Shura, who was only a teenager, could actually do what the previous Warring States Marshal wanted to do but could not do. Not only did he conquer the enemy in one fell swoop The Bigo Pirates even had a surprisingly large appetite, and they actually wiped out all the kings of the underground world together. Such a bold act was unprecedented and unprecedented.

But at the same time, a doubt gradually emerged in the minds of red-haired Shanks and Hawk-eye Jorakor Mihawk:

"What exactly does Marshal Shura want to do?"

Naturally, no one can answer such a doubt for them.

But they know very well that there is a more important thing at the moment.

Because, as the date for the Navy's public execution of Fire Fist Ace approaches, the Navy is about to have a full-scale decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates!

Once the Whitebeard Pirates also fall, Red-haired Shanks doesn't want to believe that Marshal Shura will let them go.

When I thought of this, even if the red-haired Shanks was usually unobtrusive, he could not sit still at this time.

"It seems that I have to find a way to meet Whitebeard."

The Grand Line.

After leaving the Devil's Triangle, the Straw Hat Pirates marched straight towards the deep sea prison.

Luffy sat cross-legged at the bow of the ship, holding a newspaper in his hand, with a sharp look in his eyes:

"Ace, wait for me, I'll come to save you!"

"Even if Brother Yang Ming comes, he can't stop me!"

Listening to Luffy's passionate words, Nami felt speechless.

Nami raised her eyes and glanced at Robin. The two women tapped each other's arms with their fingers, communicating in a Morse code that only spies could understand:

"What should we do? Luffy is going to seek death. Should we report it to the marshal?"

"It must be reported. Otherwise, if Luffy dies in the middle of the battle, how will we explain it to the marshal?"

In the eyes of others, Nami and Robin looked at each other as if they were in love.

Little did they know, the two of them had already communicated skillfully through Morse code.

Brooke, a musician who had just joined the pirate group, was at a loss for what to do. He looked left and right, only thinking that this was a feeling that went beyond friendship, and he sighed deeply:

"Has the outside world changed so drastically in the years since my death that even women will fall in love with women?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Nami punching her head on.

With a "bang", Nami's heavy punch wrapped in armed domineering force directly knocked Brooke's whole body away, the kind that almost caused all the bones in his body to fall apart.

World Government, Pangu City.

Since this year, Wulaoxing has met Lord Yimu a lot. It has not been more than a month since the last time he met Lord Yimu, and now he meets Lord Yimu again.

At the end of the long red carpet was a long staircase. Lord Im was sitting on the throne, surprisingly holding a photo in his hand. The photo was clearly taken when Yang Ming was appointed Marshal of the Navy Headquarters.

Cobra carefully glanced out of the corner of his eye. When he found that Lord Im was holding a photo of his cheap son-in-law, his heart skipped a beat. He had been walking on the political stage all year round, carrying an old fox, and he keenly sensed the difference. Unusual taste.

He quickly lowered his head, not daring to continue spying on Lord Im to avoid attracting his attention. Kobra and several other five elder stars knelt down on the ground and lowered their proud heads towards the king on the throne to express his gratitude. Respectfully.

Lord Im looked at everyone from a high position. No one could tell his true inner thoughts from his expression. A cold voice came from high up:

"Topman, from now on, you will work with the justice of the Judiciary Island to formulate new laws and re-plan the relevant laws and regulations for the navy. The marshal of the navy headquarters can only command the army of the navy and has no power to dispatch the navy branch armies. And in Without the permission of the World Government, troops are not allowed to be sent out for no reason. There are other requirements for naval generals at all levels, so please think carefully about how to implement them."

Among the Five Old Stars, Saint Topman Vauchuli is the God of Legal Affairs and is specifically in charge of legal matters. Even the Judicial Island is a department under his jurisdiction.

A flash of light flashed in Topman Wochuli's holy eyes, and he understood that this was Lord Im starting to prepare to reduce the size of the army and reduce the power in the hands of Marshal Shura!

Since ancient times, cunning rabbits have died and been cooked by lackeys, and birds have exhausted all their good bows. Even Lord Im is not immune to this.

Lord Yim used an upright conspiracy. As long as Yang Ming didn't have any objections, he could gradually reduce the power of the marshal of the navy headquarters and the size of the navy through decades of practice. The method of boiling frogs in warm water gradually reduced the Navy from a powerful force to an ordinary department under the World Government.
