Chapter 2478 Marine Headquarters Admiral 'Thunder Dragon' Enel!
The battle between Abel and Enel was an earth-shattering clash of lightning and fire.
With its astonishing duration of five days and five nights, and the terrifying combat power it displayed.
It has become a hot topic of discussion among governments and militaries around the world.
however.
For Abel, one of the main characters, the battle is far from over.
As the current general, he needs to face all challenges.
He only requested an hour's rest to adjust his mental state through meditation.
Then came the second challenger.
Charlotte Smoothie is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, a master swordsman of the eighth rank.
Her domineering presence and physical skills are equally formidable.
In particular, his Observation Haki has reached the level of predicting the future.
However, the pressure on Abel during the battle was undoubtedly much less compared to that on Enel.
Abelru secured victory in just two days, thwarting Smoothie's challenge.
The next day.
May 18th.
Abel's third challenger, Admiral Karasu, a Logia-type user of the Ash-Ash Fruit, makes his appearance.
In the future of the 'original timeline', this person serves as the commander of the Revolutionary Army's Eastern Army.
Although he was slightly stronger than Smoothie, he fought fiercely with Abel for three whole days.
But in the end, it ended in defeat.
The old Abel wouldn't have been this strong, but now his strength has increased significantly.
It's estimated that he won't be inferior to Kaido in the past.
At this moment, Abelru, who had been fighting continuously for ten days and ten nights, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although the battlefield that Im transformed could recall their injuries and condition.
Theoretically, even mental strength can be restored, but psychological feelings cannot.
It was a little after 10 p.m. that night.
The night sky over the Red Earth continent is dotted with stars.
At this time, countless people are already enjoying the 'God's Space' in their dreams.
Inside the conference room of the Supreme Military Command.
Sora, Tsuru, Zephyr, Sengoku, Raymond, Sakazuki, and Kuzan are having a meeting.
"The strength of Meleo Leona, Smoothie, and Karas is evident to all."
Kong spoke first, his tone calm, his fingers lightly tapping the table.
"Although they failed in their challenge, they were clearly stronger than the other generals."
"Currently, both our army and navy have vacancies for generals. If we were to leave them unused because of this, we would be in serious trouble."
"So who will lead the main combat legion and the space fleet that will be formed later?"
The army is actually in a better position, with a large number of generals available.
On the naval side, although there are few admirals, the fleet production rate is not fast.
Although it's already incredibly fast.
He only hoped that he could have a full complement of generals in both the army and navy before he stepped down.
Sakazuki said in a cold tone, "Rules are rules, and a loss is a loss."
"The position of general can only be held by the strongest person."
"That being said, we also need to consider the practicalities."
Crane, having cleared her mind of empty thoughts, began to analyze the situation rationally.
"Actually, it's not just Smoothie and Karas."
"If Crocodile really defeats all eight challengers later on."
"Are we just going to let the army have four vacant general positions and the navy have three vacant admiral positions?"
"Granting them the rank of general may be controversial, but leaving them to fend for themselves is not a good strategy either."
Zefa crossed his arms and stated his thoughts: "Strength is of course the ultimate truth."
"Karas and George are already capable of being called generals."
"We cannot take the outcome of the 'Battle of Marineford' as the sole standard."
"do not forget."
"The Battle of Marineford was originally intended to provide a challenge for admirals when the army was at full strength."
"When there is a vacancy for a general, we can promote a candidate from among the lieutenant generals."
He meant that there was no need for a 'Top Battle' this year.
However, Loki, George, and Enel insisted on proving their strength in this way.
After all, successfully completing the challenge leads to promotion to general or being promoted to general by higher-ups.
The perceived value of that is completely different.
The former represents a position earned entirely through one's own abilities.
The latter includes many factors, such as military achievements, seniority, and connections.
They might even be seen as the tallest among the short ones by their subordinates.
Which of the strong men who can become generals are not proud and arrogant?
If given a choice, I would definitely choose to launch the 'Summit War'.
High-ranking military officials like Kong, Zefa, and He were also eager to see how good they were.
This led to the tacit approval of this year's unnecessary "top battle".
However, things took a turn for the worse than expected.
Abelru's strength suddenly increased, and he defeated two challengers in a row.
Crocodile, needless to say.
He also declared that he would not let any challenger last until the fifth day.
At this moment, Zhan Guo slowly spoke up and proposed a well-thought-out plan.
“I propose that the title of ‘Reserve General’ be reinstated and awarded to Charlotte Smoothie and Karas.”
"Let them enjoy some of the powers and privileges of an admiral, and be responsible for the specific affairs of the navy going forward."
"The same applies if the army cannot muster four new generals by then."
“Give him the position of ‘acting army commander’ to lead a main combat army.”
"At the same time, these 'reserve generals' will be given a three-year grace period."
"During this period, they can continue to hone their skills and accumulate merits."
"We'll wait for the next combat strength assessment and the Marineford War to decide whether to promote them to full-fledged positions based on their abilities."
This plan is indeed excellent.
It maintains the authority of the "Battle of Marineford" while providing a promotion path and buffer zone for generals whose strength reaches the level of general.
At the same time, it can also fill the vacant general positions in a timely manner.
To stabilize morale.
Kuzan couldn't help but nod and laugh, "Ara la~, this is a good idea, as expected of the Warring States Marshal."
"Give outstanding failures a chance and pressure, and avoid the controversy that comes with promoting them out of turn."
Raymond, Zephyr, Tsuru, and Sakazuki, who were present, all expressed their support.
The system of appointing new admirals was a naval rule from ten years ago.
They were given positions that were significantly stronger than ordinary lieutenant generals, so that they could be promoted and appointed to fill any vacancies that might arise in the future.
However, since the World Government reformed its military ranks, it has added the rank of general between general and vice general.
The general's successor naturally faded from the historical stage.
Unexpectedly, it was brought out again during the Warring States period.
Kong first looked around at everyone, and seeing that no one had any objections, he finally made the decision.
"Then that's settled. Once the 'Battle of Marineford' is completely over, Charlotte Smoothie and Karas will be awarded the title of 'Marine Admiral Prospector'."
"In this way, together with Enel who succeeded in the challenge, as well as the current Borsalino, Kaido, and Abel, there will be exactly six admirals."
As for the army, needless to say, we'll have to see how the battle unfolds.
If four out of eight challengers succeed.
That would be perfect.
But if there is a vacancy, you can use the 'reserve general' option to select someone to fill it.
Sora, Zephyr, and the others felt that no matter what, one or two people should be able to succeed.
The likelihood is especially high for Loki and George.
If Meleo Leona hadn't challenged Sakazuki, she probably would have succeeded by now.
"Now let's talk about Karas and Smoothie's potential general titles."
"Enel has been confirmed to use 'Thunder Dragon'."
