Chapter 317
In the highest conference room of the Navy Headquarters.
At this moment, the silence was so great that it was almost inaudible.
Even the sound of breathing was barely audible.
Whether it was Admiral Sengoku, or the three admirals Sakaski, Kuzan and Borsalino, or even Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau Tenma, or the hero Garp and others, they all seemed to hold their breath.
After all.
No one expected that it was just a discussion, or a meeting to announce Rosen's promotion to Admiral of the Navy, but because of Sengoku's tough confrontation and Rosen's strength, it directly rose to the level of affecting the world situation and determining the fate of the world.
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
Regardless of whether there is preparation or not, things have already happened.
There are only two situations in front of us now.
Either the Navy is independent, justice becomes pure, and then the Navy Headquarters changes from a direct agency of the World Government to a force that can have equal dialogue with the World Government.
Or the Navy Headquarters and the World Government will have a full-scale conflict, which will smash the world situation.
Everything was revealed in this meeting.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The silence of the Five Elders lasted for ten minutes, and they still did not speak.
But no one urged them.
After all, no matter what choice they made, this was a decision that could affect the fate of the world.
Another five minutes passed.
The Hall of Power, which was also so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, finally broke the deathly silence.
"We are not giving in, but because you chose the Navy."
"So, this time we stand by your side."
"But the matter of Zefa will end here."
"Do you understand?"
"Admiral of Death."
"Rosen."
After a long silence.
Finally, Saint Vouchuri of the Five Elders spoke to break the deadlock of silence and gave their answer.
One sentence, we stand by your side.
One sentence, Admiral of Death.
Any answer means that the Five Elders have given in.
Even though Saint Vouchuri's first sentence emphasized that he and others did not give in, everyone present understood and was aware of the character and style of the Five Elders.
The fact is.
Violating the taboo of the Celestial Dragons, using the name of God as Rosen's code name for the admiral.
The Five Elders gave in.
They asked the World Government not to interfere in the affairs of the Navy Headquarters, and openly declared to the World Government the independence of the Navy Headquarters.
The Five Elders also gave in.
The Navy Admiral cannot let the Supreme Ruler of the World Government give in.
The Navy Marshal cannot let the Supreme Ruler of the World Government give in.
But the Navy King who is above the general, marshal, and emperor.
Yes.
This is Rosen's weight.
This is the influence that only exists above the Great Buddha Sengoku and the hero Garp.

After the Five Elders made the decision to give in and acknowledged that Rosen was qualified to hold the code name of the Admiral of Death, they did not continue to participate in the highest meeting of the Navy Headquarters through video calls.
No regrets.
First, they felt that this decision was a move that undermined the dignity of the supreme ruler of the World Government and the supreme authority of the Celestial Dragons.
Second, they had just announced that they would no longer interfere in the affairs of the Navy Headquarters, at least not on the surface.
Then there was no need to continue to participate in the meeting.
Anyway, they would have other channels and other ways to know everything about the content of the meeting.
Both face and substance were lost.
Instead of continuing to embarrass themselves, it is better to start now and plan for the future.
"The Five Elders actually gave in."
Zhan Guo looked at the hung up video call with a dazed look in his eyes, and his expression was as if he had just woken up from a dream.
As a Navy Admiral, he knew how powerful the Five Elders were.
Over the years, he had never seen the Five Elders give in.
Not even once.
At least, on the surface, they never gave in.
As long as it involves the dignity of the World Government, the face of the Celestial Dragons, and even the justice of the Navy Headquarters, they will trample on it at will.
Just as the other party said.
The Navy is just the facade of the World Government.
But now, Rosen has trampled on the face of the Celestial Dragons and the dignity of the World Government in front of the Five Elders, and even took away the Navy Headquarters, a subordinate institution.
And the decision of the Five Elders is.
Give in.
Then, they stood beside Rosen.
"Ah la la la la la."
"Although I saw it with my own eyes, I still find it incredible!"
"The Navy and Justice can be completely independent."
Kuzan leaned back in his chair, his face mixed with surprise, but he felt like a dream in his heart.
The main reason is that all this happened so suddenly.
It was so sudden that they had no expectations at all, and RenWithout any preparation, the Navy Headquarters will be independent.
The justice of all people will no longer be governed by the World Government and deteriorate.
"I see."
"Rosen."
"Is this why you insisted on challenging the Four Emperors Pirates!"
At this time.
Through the video call, Sakaski found that everyone looked shocked, except for Rosen, who looked calm.
It seemed that he had expected this to happen.
He connected Rosen's decision to challenge the Four Emperors with the decision of the Five Elders.
The original unreality suddenly became reasonable.
Hearing what Sakaski said, everyone in the conference room looked at Rosen.
"That's the first one!"
"The second is that I want to weigh the weight of the Four Emperors' pirate groups."
"And my own weight."
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Rosen nodded slightly:
"If the weight of the Four Emperors exceeds my expectations, then the independence of the Navy Headquarters will have to be put on hold."
"On the contrary, there is no need to let the Navy and Justice continue to be controlled by the World Government."
"No matter what kind of justice, no matter how determined the Navy is, living under the control of the World Government, over time, the Navy and Justice will deteriorate."
After hearing this, everyone was deeply touched and agreed.
"Okay!"
"Zhan Guo, I didn't expect you to have such a long-term vision and saw Rosen's intention early on."
"That's why I used this combination of punches with him, taking the lead in using the Grim Reaper as Rosen's code name for the general, and charging at the Five Elders, leaving these five old guys unprepared."
"This time, I have to admit you."
Garp looked at Zhan Guo in the conference room, and his voice was full of admiration.
"You are worthy of it."
"Zhan Guo."
Tsuru also looked at Zhan Guo with amazement.
However.
Faced with Garp and Tsuru's praise, Zhan Guo showed a rare shyness.
"What's that expression on your face?"
"Are you shy?"
"Is it that serious?"
"This is not the first time we have praised you."
Zeff saw Zhan Guo's shy look and couldn't help asking.
"Although I feel comfortable with Garp and Xiaohe's flattery, the fact is that I don't have such a long-term vision to see Rosen's intention in advance."
Although Sengoku was a little embarrassed, he still chose to tell the truth.
"Ah?"
After hearing what Sengoku said, not only Garp and Zephyr, but even the senior navy officials present looked at Sengoku in astonishment.
After all, in their cognition, Sengoku is known as a wise general.
It is normal to have such a long-term vision and excellent mind to cooperate with Rosen.
"You didn't see Rosen's purpose, so why did you use Death God as Rosen's code name for the general?"
Garp was stunned.
"Although I am the admiral of the navy, when facing the Five Elders, what I can do is actually very limited."
"Zeff's affairs, the filth of the Five Elders."
"As a marshal, I can only do this much."
Sengoku first glanced at Zephyr, then apologized and said in a shameful tone.
Everyone was silent after hearing this.
They all understood what Zhan Guo meant.
Zhan Guo was furious about the Five Elders hiding the truth about the murder of Zefa's family, which was why he drew his sword against the Five Elders during the meeting.
