People in One Piece are so good-looking

"not yet."

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said, "I am responsible for this matter. In the past few months, I have been urging my superiors on average once a week, and the answer I received has never changed. It is nothing more than ' Excuses such as "insufficient funds and still raising funds" are the same this time."

War is cruel after all. In one battle, the entire Pirate Alliance was wiped out. Needless to say, the navy also paid a heavy price.

The number of casualties alone reached 13,000, and the number of seriously wounded exceeded 30,000. Such a huge number naturally required a huge pension.

However, in order to prepare for this war, the headquarters had exhausted almost all of the navy's savings. Coupled with the various finishing tasks after the war, it was really stretched and unable to pay back, so it could only ask for special funds from its superiors.

This is a matter of course, and this amount of money is nothing to the world government.

As a result, almost four months have passed, but the money has not yet been allocated. Just as He said, every time the headquarters urges it, the world government uses various excuses to delay it.

This is unacceptable.

"No need to rush, I estimate that the dial will be dialed soon." Warring States suddenly said.

"What?" Everyone around looked at him in surprise.

"Didn't I say before that the superiors have always had a vague attitude towards the resignation submitted by me?"

Warring States said calmly, "But it's not a problem if it continues to be vague. A specific approval should be given this month. At that time, there is a high probability that close associates will be transferred from the World Government to take over the position of marshal. By then, the pension will naturally be distributed."

"What do you mean?" The flying squirrel was surprised.

"Yes, pension and resignation are basically the same thing."

He sneered and said, "When the new officer takes office, the pension will naturally be approved. This will not only improve the new marshal's prestige among the grassroots marines, but also calm the resentment of the Warring States Period for being transferred away. It is said that killing two birds with one stone will help the World Government. No, he is very good at this kind of trick of playing with people's hearts."

"A bunch of bastards!"

Lieutenant General Dauberman, who had a hot temper, slammed his fist on the table, "How many family members of sailors are waiting for this money to be used now? So many soldiers are going through life and death, for what reason! To protect these people who are full of calculations." Fat pig?! Do the superiors still regard the navy as a human being?"

"When did they ever treat the Navy like a human being?"

A faint voice suddenly sounded at this moment:

"In other words, except for those high-ranking world nobles, how can they care whether the rest of the people are dead or alive?"

Before he finished speaking, the entire conference room was already silent.

The reason was simple, because the voice was so familiar and slightly unfamiliar because they hadn't heard it for a long time. Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the door in surprise.

In the morning light, at some point, a slender figure wearing a white cloak of justice appeared there.

"Mr. Nosha!"

"General Nuoxia!"

Many people shouted, and the old subordinates such as Flying Squirrel Ghost Spider stood up subconsciously in excitement.

Shiliu, who had been silent with a cigar in his mouth, also raised his head and grinned - since the First World War, he had taken the initiative to transfer to the Navy, and currently holds the position of Lieutenant General of the headquarters.

"Everyone, please sit down. We haven't seen each other for a few months, so it won't be a big deal."

Nuo Xia waved his hand, pulled out the chair in front of the empty seat and sat down.

This seat, right next to Sengoku, had been empty for several months and had been reserved for him.

"Noxia, you..."

Warring States looked at Nuo Xia, who was sitting next to him, and suddenly his eyes widened as if he noticed something.

"Huh?"

Garp on the side also let out a light sigh, while Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru and others looked at each other subconsciously, with expressions of confusion.

They are all the top strong men in the world. At this moment, they can vaguely notice that something is different about Nuo Xia, whom they haven't seen for several months.

That feeling is very subtle.

If Nuo Xia had stood in front of him and not deliberately restrained his aura, they would have clearly felt a terrifying pressure from each other.

That was proof that he belonged to a peak powerhouse. Although he was stronger than himself, he was still at roughly the same level.

And now...

Nuo Xia obviously did not restrain his aura, but standing there, he seemed to be no different from ordinary people, without any pressure. Only by concentrating all his mental power could he vaguely feel the slightest hint of danger.

"Um."

Nuo Xia smiled and nodded slightly, acknowledging the speculations of Warring States and others.

He did break through again.

Moreover, it is an all-round breakthrough, an all-round improvement!

Four months ago, after the battle with Whitebeard, Nuo Xia once again felt the loosening of bottlenecks, especially in the kendo, where he vaguely touched a new world.

He did not dare to delay and immediately entered a state of seclusion and ascetic cultivation.

After several months of practice, he successively broke through the final bottlenecks in Armed Color Haki, Knowledge Color Haki and Swordsmanship.

at the same time.

As the news spread, the prestige reached its peak, and Nuo Xia's points also skyrocketed. After a few months, they had accumulated more than 30 million points.

This is undoubtedly an astronomical figure, allowing Nuo Xia to finally use the additional function to upgrade all his basic measurements attributes.

Now, his property panel has changed into this:

[Name: Romanov Norsha]

[Age: 28 years old]

[Strength: 41 (current stage 10 million points/points)]

[Agility: 41 (+4) (10 million points/point at the current stage)]

[Currently equipped: Guardian Angel, Light Boots, Armor of Thorns]

…

The most luxurious data panel.

The all-round improvement in various attributes, the master-level swordsmanship and the two-color domineering power have brought Nuo Xia's combat power to a level that can be called "supreme"!

If he had another fight with Whitebeard at this time, then Nuo Xia was confident that there would be no need to fight for nearly ten hours like Ding Shang.

——Even if it is conservatively estimated, it will only take a few dozen minutes at most, and Whitebeard will be completely defeated!

"You guy..."

Hearing Nuo Xia's frank admission, Zhan Guo and others looked at each other, feeling shocked in their hearts.

In their eyes, Nuo Xia's strength was already the strongest in the history of the Navy, surpassing themselves and others, and he could be called a ceiling-level existence in the world.

Under such circumstances, he can actually break through again... So how strong is his current strength?

"Ah, what an exaggeration..." Qingzhi couldn't help but smacked his lips, "I feel like now, let alone a one-on-one fight, even if Sakaski and I join forces, we may not be able to compete... In this world, really Is there anyone else who can be your opponent?"

The corner of Akainu's mouth twitched slightly. You can compare yourself to yourself. Why do you have to involve me?

"Of course."

Nuo Xia's answer was beyond everyone's expectations. He said calmly, "To be honest, it was this breakthrough that gave me the confidence to completely defeat her. If I had fought against her a few months ago, I would have won." It’s still unclear whether we will be negative.”

Of course?

Except for Taotu whose expression remained unchanged and who had obviously known the inside story for a long time, everyone else was stunned and didn't quite understand the meaning of Nuo Xia's words.

This means……

How can it be?

Even the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard, was defeated by Nuo Xia. Looking at the world, who else is qualified to make Nuo Xia say such a thing?

Warring States suddenly seemed to realize something and frowned slightly:

"Do you mean... the people above?"

"Yes, or rather, it is the supreme ruler of the world government, Im." Nuo Xia looked at Warring States, "Have you heard of this name, Marshal?"

Warring States was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a while, and then shook his head.

"Im?"

"Isn't the supreme ruler of the world government the Five Old Stars?"

The reactions of the rest of the people were similar, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Yimu hides behind the scenes and controls everything. The five old stars are just puppets on the surface. In other words, they are just elites selected by Yimu from all the previous Tianlong people to guard the world for her."

Nuo Xia was not surprised by this and said in a deep voice, "This is an old witch who has lived for who knows how many years. She is naturally extremely powerful. Needless to say, it's enough to just say one thing first. She is also a natural ability user. The fruit you eat is called the fruit of the ocean.”

Fruit of the sea? !

No in-depth explanation is needed. As soon as this name came out, everyone's expressions changed, and they felt the horror it represented.

"A person with abilities who can control sea water?"

Qingzhi narrowed his eyes, "This is much more powerful than my ice cube. It is simply the nemesis of all ability users..."

"Control the sea water..." He murmured and repeated, his face suddenly darkened, and he turned to look at Warring States on the left side.

"What's wrong?"

Warring States was still in the shock of Nuo Xia's news and had not recovered, but after looking at each other with He, his expression suddenly changed and he realized something.

"You mean... on top!"

As soon as these words came out.

All the high-ranking navy officials present here changed their expressions.

At this moment, they all understood the meaning of Sengoku and He's words.

In the Battle of the Summit four months ago, the Navy Headquarters suffered more than 40,000 casualties. The losses were far greater than expected. The root cause was the changes caused by the Impel City.

According to subsequent statistics, at least half of the more than 40,000 casualties were related to the group of escaped prisoners in Impel Down City. In other words, without this incident, the battle on the top would not have been so thrilling, let alone successful. Such huge casualties.

All the senior executives here know this.

At the same time, we also know that this prison break is extremely strange. The headquarters has been investigating for several months, but has not yet found the reason.

For hundreds of years, the impel city, which had been rock solid, suddenly collapsed. This was not like the work of manpower at all, but more like a coincidence that the vortex current fluctuated, triggering a huge tsunami. It was a miraculous work of nature.

——This is already the consensus of many people within the navy. It seems that the headquarters can only admit that it is unlucky.

However.

The message brought by Nuo Xia completely overturned this conclusion in an instant, dispelled the fog that shrouded the incident, and directly exposed the initiator!

Under the huge impact of information, no one can stay calm!

"It makes sense...it makes sense!"

Even with his cultivation and concentration during the Warring States Period, he couldn't help but bang the table at this moment and stood up. His whole body was shaking and he couldn't help but murmur:

"Now it makes sense, everything is connected, everything makes sense! Im, the Five Old Stars, the World Government, release all the prisoners, disrupt the battle situation on top... all for..."

"Constraints and balance."

Akainu's cold voice sounded, with a hint of ridicule:

"Of course the world government wants to end the era of great pirates, but it doesn't want to just sit back and watch the Navy dominate. Without enemies, only an old, crippled, fangs-less hunting dog that can only be obedient can be a qualified good dog. .”

"Wu Laoxing may think so, but Im not necessarily."

Nuo Xia shook his head slightly and spoke calmly, "The world government cares about the so-called restriction and balance, but she doesn't. In the eyes of an old witch who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and experienced the vicissitudes of the world, the war on the top may be just a passing event. Every family's farce, as a spectator overlooking the sea, she probably did this just to add some fun to herself."

The last three or four chapters will be completed within this month!
