Chapter 113: Rear Admiral

The moon and stars are sparse.

But tonight is undoubtedly the most chaotic night in Black Flame City. Under the concentrated attack of the navy, the criminals in the city were quickly eliminated.

Similarly, more people were captured.

Originally, according to the navy's estimate, the battle with Black Flame City would last for several days.

This time is enough for the Black Flame Queen to contact the Four Emperors of the New World. With those relationships, the three Four Emperors related to the Rocks Pirates are likely to come to rescue.

If that is the case.

The world pattern will inevitably undergo huge turmoil. The navy will engage in a full-scale battle with the three sea emperors. The situation is unbelievable.

So in order to avoid Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom coming and causing far-reaching impacts.

The two admirals and many naval forces are on high alert in the New World to prevent the three Four Emperors from forming an alliance to rescue Black Flame City.

On the Black Flame City side, Aokiji led a large fleet to destroy and annihilate.

However, things did not go according to plan.

The Black Flame Queen seemed to have been ready to evacuate Black Flame City, or in other words, she had been prepared for the navy's attack on Black Flame City.

The huge wealth in the city.

It has been transferred at some point.

Various escape settings and preparations also overwhelmed the navy and made it impossible to defend.

At dawn.

The Black Flame Queen ended the battle with Kuzan and left in an extra-large warship.

The navy's action this time can be said to have only wiped out a Black Flame City that had been stationed here for decades, and the criminals who had been hiding in the city for many years.

The Black Flame Queen and her subordinates escaped successfully!

Perhaps in the near future, there will be one less Black Flame City on this sea, and one more powerful pirate group headed by the Black Flame Queen.

However, these are not what Coles should worry about for the time being.

At this time, he is summoning the shadows of the dead criminals in the Black Flame City.

After all, there are now one hundred more places, and this vacancy can allow him to increase his strength more.

This summoning.

In addition to the previously killed [Remus], two other A-level shadow soldiers [Alger] and [Hekasha] were also summoned.

The strength of these two A-level shadow soldiers is slightly weaker than [Remus], but they have reached the A-level level, and both have a bounty of over 100 million.

It's a pity.

The seriously injured Ryan was rescued by other cadres of the Queen of Black Flame, otherwise he could have summoned Ryan, an A-level shadow soldier with strong physical skills.

There were 15 B-level shadow soldiers summoned last night, all of whom were criminals with a bounty of between 50 million and 100 million Baileys.

There were 34 C-level shadow soldiers with a bounty of between 10 million and 50 million Baileys, and there were no Coles below C.

These dead criminals and pirates are actually only a small part, and most of the criminals have become prisoners, and there are also powerful pirates with a bounty of over 100 million.

However, since these criminals have been captured by the navy, they will naturally be sent to the Judicial Island for trial and then imprisoned in the city of Push.

Kuzan asked the navy to sort out the situation in Black Flame City for about a day, and after leaving a team of navy to garrison here, he took the navy fleet back to the Navy Headquarters.

…

…

Marinford.

Navy Headquarters Tower.

In the huge conference room, many senior navy generals were gathering here, and the content of the meeting was naturally the Black Flame City incident.

"This time, our staff department failed to do its job, and we have to take a lot of responsibility."

The speaker was a gray-haired old woman with an old face and deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. In addition to a sense of wisdom that has gone through vicissitudes of life, there is also a cool style that has never faded.

She is the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Crane!

The chief staff of the staff department, long before the Great Pirate Era, she joined the Navy at the same time as Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, and worked together for many years.

As the chief staff of the Navy Headquarters, Vice Admiral Crane has a certain status in the "Navy Headquarters".

The rest of the navy will naturally not throw the responsibility on the elderly Vice Admiral Crane.

Kuzan said: "The main responsibility this time is still on me. I didn't expect Caroline's strength to grow to this point. She can actually fight me as well as she did, which led to her successful escape in the end.

The navy, which belongs to Kuzan's faction, will definitely not let the admiral take the responsibility alone. They each put the responsibility on themselves.

"Don't blame Admiral Kuzan. The main reason is that Black Flame City is too well prepared. They have no intention of fighting us to death."

"It's still my problem. If my strength can be stronger, then those criminals in Black Flame City will definitely not escape."

"This is my fault. Marshal Sengoku, you can punish me. I will accept it without any complaints, whether it is a demotion to guard or something."

Listening to the responsibilities of the navy generals, the voices were noisy. Sengoku, who was sitting in the first place, frowned and shouted coldly.

"Okay, now that things have come to this, there is no need for us to talk about any responsibilities.

The most important thing now is that the navy has wiped out a sinful Black Flame City, but there is about to be another thing comparable to the Four Emperors Pirate Group.

Will the world situation change and the fifth sea emperor be born? Will the stable situation among the four emperors be broken? "

The meeting room fell into silence.

The people who had originally shared the responsibility also stopped talking and began to think about this important issue.

After a while.

There were many discussions in the room, and the naval generals expressed their opinions.

towards the end of the meeting.

Staff Officer He issued his latest opinion.

"Since Roger started the Great Pirate Age, the number of pirates has increased dramatically. Maybe we have just defeated a Yonko, and then a fifth, sixth, or even seventh Yonko will appear."

"But this still cannot completely end the era of great pirates, because our navy is becoming increasingly weak."

The Warring States Period was silent.

The other admirals were equally silent.

Because what Staff He said was right, today's new navy force is not that good. The powerful navy is still the ghost spiders and flying squirrels who have just begun the era of great pirates.

Under the appearance of a strong navy, the navy is gradually showing decline, which is why there is a "world conscription" policy.

Staff Officer He glanced at the naval generals present and continued: "The new force of the navy is the top priority we need to consider. Only by replacing the old with a new generation can our navy continue to become stronger.

And now, we need a navy star who is shining enough to lead the navy's prosperity and let more young people join us. "

A shining navy star?

Hearing Staff He's words, Warring States remembered that name that appeared frequently in his mind.

That young man with a clean background, no problems, and rapid improvement in strength.

After pondering for a long time, Sengoku asked the sitting naval admirals: "What do you think of Charlotte Coles?"

…

Three days passed in a flash.

Coles received an order from a naval officer to go to the office of the Warring States Marshal. The Marshal had something important to tell him.

He couldn't help but wonder, what could Marshal Warring States have to do with him?

While thinking in my heart.

Coles didn't stay where he was.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his uniform, cape, hairstyle, and demeanor, he strode towards the navy's superstructure.

finally.

Coles came to the marshal's office, the highest power center in the Navy Headquarters.

This office is not very luxurious, it just has an ordinary desk, and Seng Guo, who is tall and tall, is processing documents.

"Reporting to Marshal Warring States, Lieutenant Commander Charlotte Coles is here to report."

Coles gave a military salute to show his respect.

At the same time, he also saw with his own eyes the highest authority in the navy known as the "Buddha's Warring States".

Black frog glasses.

The long beard on his chin is tied into a twist, and he wears a military hat with a seagull symbolizing the "Navy" on it, and a head of explosive hair hidden under the hat.

That serious face seemed to carry the situation of the world, full of majesty.

Warring States nodded, and while continuing to process the documents, he said: "Well, Charlotte Coles, I have often heard your name recently, and I pay attention to you. I have personally reviewed and approved your promotion notices. "

Coles saluted again.

"Let the Marshal worry about it."

Warring States stopped processing documents, raised his head, adjusted his frog glasses, and praised.

"You completed your last mission very well. You fought bravely in Black Flame City and made many achievements. Based on your performance and military merit this time, the Navy decided to promote you to the rank of Major General!"

Nineteen-year-old Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

It can be expected that Coles's deeds will inevitably appear in the newspapers and set off a wave of waves.

What the Navy wants is this kind of publicity. The pirates' power is constantly expanding, and they must launch a naval supernova that can fight against it, and Coles is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Major General of the headquarters?

Although Coles heard Kuzan mention it before, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He didn't expect to be promoted to rear admiral now.

"Thank you Marshal!"

Warring States asked the adjutant to take out the things:

"The major general's coat of justice is ready, right here. Also, regarding your appointment notice, I have decided to let you serve as a major general stationed in the Shampoo Islands."

The Shampoo Islands are located in front of the Red Continent in the middle of the Grand Line. They are the only way for pirates to go to the New World. They are also located near the Navy Headquarters.

The purpose of sending Coles, the newly promoted major general, to garrison was to deter some pirates, and also to spread Coles' reputation more effectively.

When Coles heard the familiar name of Shampoo Islands, his heart was unexpected.

He did not expect that he would be stationed on such an important island next.

This archipelago is an important key point in the development of the world's plot. Next year, the supernovae of the extremely evil era will gather there.

Warring States took a sip of tea: "Since you have just participated in the elite training camp and completed an outstanding mission. Therefore, the Navy Headquarters will give you half a month's leave. You can return to your hometown in the East China Sea to see you. After you come back and take office, you have Any objection?"

Coles knew that this was the importance the Warring States Marshal placed on him, and the navy attached great importance to him, so naturally he could not refuse.

Originally, after the Black Flame City mission was over, he wanted to return to the East China Sea for a visit. Now it would be better to have a vacation, as he did not need to apply for it.

"Report to the Marshal, no objections."
