Chapter 157: First Appearance on the World Stage (Please Subscribe)

On a sunny morning, a huge stage had been set up in the square of the Marine Headquarters.

A strong man at the rank of lieutenant general in the Navy was promoted, which was an influential event in the entire world.

Especially this person who was promoted to lieutenant general is still very young.

Whether it's the navy, pirates, or other forces, when everyone evaluates a person's talent, they all look at his age and strength.

In the past century, only Raleigh was the only one who could sit in the position of lieutenant general with less than twenty ronai.

Therefore, in order to boost morale, the senior navy officials defined this event as an event to promote the majesty of the navy. All the specifications were half a level higher than the price of being promoted to lieutenant general, and second only to the ceremony of being promoted to general. Although Raleigh has always given People just like to fish, but this does not mean that everyone hates them.

Instead, it was because of Raleigh's humorous words and interesting personality that he attracted many like-minded people.

Including but not limited to Sakaski, Rat, Gion, Kake, etc.

There are also some hardline marines who, although they don't get along with Raleigh that well, have no conflict of interest with Raleigh, so they are happy to support him.

Of course, everyone feels a little sour in their hearts, especially those who train very hard.

Such as Kuzan, and Dauberman.

When they thought of Luo Li's mean smile in their memories, they couldn't help but draw a little picture of Luo Li in their hearts.

But they all know about Raleigh's achievements in the East China Sea and the North Sea. In any case, what Raleigh did in the East China Sea and the North Sea is genuine.

These matters must be disclosed to the entire Navy before promotion to lieutenant general.

There are countless reasons for them to join the navy, but there must be only one reason for insisting on staying in the navy, and that is for the justice in their hearts.

The No. 133 branch led by Raleigh in the East China Sea and the Beihai Navy led in the North Sea defeated and killed countless Seashell Rings.

Preventing at least dozens of small towns from becoming a human tragedy.

One by one, these things were recorded by the navy clerk and were to be published to the world.

If you survey the public, 95% of them hope that Raleigh will serve as the local naval commander again. This is the public opinion in the heart.

At 8:30 in the morning, while everyone was waiting quietly, our protagonist Raleigh appeared behind the stage of Marine Fando Square.

Nervous? This is your first time seeing this kind of scene.

Sora, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, wore a large navy justice cloak. The epaulettes on it represented that he was the most powerful marshal in the navy.

Today, Raleigh is not wearing the casual clothes he usually wears. Yesterday, Yuan took him to a very famous handmade suit shop in Marineland and ordered an expensive suit. The very slim suit brought out Raleigh's majestic character. After putting on the navy's cloak of justice, he looked so handsome.

Raleigh reached out and fiddled with the tie on his chest, then raised his head and said, "

nervous? No! This is the first time in my life that I have shown my face to the world, and I have to perform well. "

Because of this special situation, the Navy applied to the World Government for news release.

Now sitting in the front row are all reporters from major newspapers.

Looking at the energetic Raleigh next to me, I felt that the young blood in my heart was aroused.

He hasn't felt this way for a long, long time.

Ever since he became a naval master, his planning has become concerned with gains and losses.

Before doing anything, consider the world government and the impact it will have on the navy.

This made Sora unable to relax mentally for a long time.

After seeing the young and energetic Raleigh next to him today, Sora felt that he should be able to work for a few more years.

"It's great to be young."

Sora sighed involuntarily.

"Marshal Kong, who doesn't know the benefits of youth? It's not like there are no devil fruits in the world that can keep people young."

I know there is a devil fruit that can keep people young. If you want it, I can get it for you. "

Raleigh heard Sora next to him sighing about his Luo Shu, and he couldn't help blurting out.

As a time traveler, I control the direction of the entire plot. Of course he knows where the vampire fruit is.

But he had been staying in the East China Sea and the North Sea before and had no time to look for it.

Moreover, even if he found it, it would not be of much help to him.

Because for now, Rololi, even if she obtains this top animal devil fruit, it is only used as a resource reserve.

But if this matter can be exchanged for the support of a naval marshal, then Raleigh feels that this business is worth it.

"Haha, don't think about this for now, old man, I can still work for more than ten years."

After hearing what Luo Li said, Kong seemed a little unconvinced, touched his hair and said,

Today’s protagonist is you, we’ll talk about these things later. "

"It's your turn next, but you have to perform well."

Kong heard the sound of a salute coming from outside, straightened his collar, and then strode outside.

Marine Vendor Square, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is now packed with people.

A long red carpet extends directly to the stage in the center of the square.

On both sides of the red carpet were freshly picked flowers today, each one made into a bouquet by the Navy and standing there.

The first person to appear in front of everyone was the current Navy Grand Master, Sora.

Today Sora did not wear his usual sleeveless shirt, but a black suit.

His hair and beard, which were shaped like a mountain, were also carefully groomed. Under the sunlight, they looked so exquisite.

Sora looked at the reporters who kept taking pictures of him, and stretched out his right hand to signal them.

But he was not the protagonist of the stage today, and Sora did not want to steal the limelight from Raleigh.

So he simply greeted these journalists and the Navy generals sitting in the front row, and hurried over.

Then came the protagonist of the day who attracted everyone's attention.

Christine Raleigh, who was promoted to Vice Admiral and favored by many people.

A head of short black hair, which was combed back by Raleigh.

A black suit jacket, a white shirt inside, and a black tie.

At this moment, Lori didn't look like a naval commander, but more like a senior official of the World Government. The moment Lori appeared, all the reporters' cameras were shooting frantically, and the flashes almost blinded Lori's eyes.

"Captain Lori, look here!"

'Look at me, please, Captain Lori! "

The reporters on both sides of the red carpet pressed the shutters of their cameras frantically, and the sound of "ka-ka-ka" continued to echo on both sides of the three-meter-wide red carpet.

Kake, who was sitting in the front row, applauded Lori's appearance, and said sourly:

"This guy really stole the show today!"

"Damn! If this was me, it would be so great! Gion, you must like me like this."

Gion on the side rolled his eyes after hearing this.

"Kake, don't let me slap you when I'm happy! "

After hearing Gion's words, Kake turned around and shed tears silently.

The glory belongs to Raleigh, and so does Gion.

As reporters spread the photos, countless news birds flew to all parts of the world with freshly baked newspapers.

The name of Admiral Christine Raleigh of the Navy Headquarters spread across the sea, and it was the first time that Raleigh appeared in front of the world.

In the newspaper, Raleigh, with a righteous face, occupied two-thirds of the page. Behind him was the Gate of Justice, which symbolized the face of the Navy.

"Between light and darkness, seek a trace of balanced justice.

Balanced Justice - Christine Raleigh.

Borsalino saw it, and said with a pout, "What balanced justice? It feels a bit like my ambiguous justice. But his term is a bit advanced, damn, why didn't I think of it!

Roley walked to the center stage, and under the attention of the crowd, he bowed to the surroundings.

Then Kong took the microphone handed over by the host, cleared his throat and said;

Dear distinguished guests and colleagues, good morning.

"Today, I am honored to preside over the promotion ceremony of a young rear admiral in our navy.

"This represents the rise of the new generation of our navy and symbolizes the strengthening of the power of justice.

"Next, I announce the order of the World Government and the order of the Navy Headquarters.

"Award the former North Sea Admiral Christine Raleigh to Rear Admiral.

"Lieutenant General !!! "

As Kong's last words came out, the young navy officers in the audience were already very excited.

Everyone shouted for justice without thinking of anything else!

Even the warships far away in the port could hear it clearly.

After Kong finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Raleigh and took a step back, leaving the stage to Raleigh.

In a black slim suit and the navy's justice cloak, Raleigh looked particularly handsome. Raleigh's face was not excited, but he spoke with a hint of solemnity!

"Hello everyone, I am Christine Raleigh. Today I am honored to attend the inauguration ceremony of the headquarters. "

In the past days, I always imagined what it would be like to become a vice admiral one day. "

At that time, I didn't have a clear understanding of pirates. I only knew that our navy had to fight against pirates.

"But when I was serving in the East China Sea and the North China Sea, I felt the threat that pirates posed to world security."

"For thousands of years, pirates have been a cancer on the sea, and I prefer to call them garbage."

They never produce anything, but instead draw their swords against each other for a little bit of resources. "

'I have seen with my own eyes that a pirate killed a family of four just for a small piece of bread. And more pirates kill people for the wealth and food of the people."

"But all this is the meaning of the existence of the navy. The navy will never let pirates continue to run rampant on the sea. We will catch them all in one fell swoop."

"No matter what kind of enemy we face, the navy has only one choice, that is to fight!"

"Whether it is a brutal pirate or a cunning mafia member, we will make them get a just trial!"

"Justice will prevail!!!"

As Raleigh's voice fell, the young generation of navy, who was already very excited, felt like they were about to explode.

After listening to this, many navy officers were filled with passion and wanted to drive a warship out to kill a few pirates to cheer them up.

Even the veterans who had experienced many years of fighting and whose minds were already very stable were touched after hearing what Raleigh said.

Apart from anything else, the slogan of this little guy Raleigh was really great!

I have decided that I will capture ten pirates with more than 50 million berries this month!

"You are bragging, if you can capture ten pirates with more than 50 million berries, I can capture fifteen!"

"Want to make a bet?"

"Let's bet! Whoever loses will pack cigars for three months!"

Except for the noisy navy, the rest of the reporters were almost silent!

There was only the rustling sound of pens falling on paper.

After hearing Raleigh's speech, they naturally had their own set of judgment criteria.

Through their judgment, they believed that Raleigh's speech might cause an uproar in the world.

So they had to send it out as soon as possible for the sake of popularity.

After Raleigh finished his inaugural speech, he left the stage with Master Kong.

The rest of the things were handed over to the host to control, and they had returned to Master Yuan's office.

Raleigh, you have been promoted to vice admiral, and your current warship is no longer suitable for you to ride. I will give you a note later, and you can go to the logistics department to get a new warship.

Raleigh knew that there would be benefits after being promoted to vice admiral, but he didn't expect the benefits to come so quickly.

Which man doesn't like his ship to be bigger, faster, and more powerful than others!

However, these things are not available just because you have money.

If he wasn't afraid of being investigated by the headquarters, Raleigh could buy it even if it was the ship of the Navy Admiral.

And you can reasonably expand to 3,000 people this time to meet the combat operations against pirates.

This is also one of the internal training methods of the Navy.

Some people are born to command the majority of people to fight.

Some people are also suitable for leading elite teams to decapitate the strong among the pirates.

However, this will allow Raleigh to have his own army more legally.

Although these 3,000 people are not enough to look at compared to the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of small fish behind, the quality is much higher.

Raleigh always remembers that this is an extraordinary world, and the power of the people is not worth mentioning in front of the strong. Whether it is Roger, Whitebeard Edward, or Golden Lion Shiki, for the strong at their level, the human wave tactics will not cause them any harm.

At most, it will take more effort.

But we should think higher. What if Raleigh has 3,000 navy captains instead of 3,000 navy soldiers?

What if he has 3,000 navy commodores? !

Raleigh can completely exploit the loopholes in the law and legally own an organization that controls the entire navy of the One Piece world.

But then again, how can a person be considered without dreams?

If one day Raleigh really has such a powerful force, then it is time for him to change the world.
