As we all know, the World Government, which has more than 170 participating countries and has ruled the world, has been established for at least 800 years. Similarly, as the largest violent organization under the World Government, the Navy's history is naturally not too short.

And in the hundreds of years of history of the navy, there is one thing, or problem, that has caused great headaches for successive world government leaders.

That's right, it's the choice of every naval marshal.

From the perspective of the top leaders of the world government, they certainly hope that the navy marshal can be appointed by the person they most recognize and obey, just like several ministers of CP0. But the problem is that the navy is a violent institution, and its internal

Most of the time, the trend is that the strong come first. Therefore, the person recognized by the senior management, even if they personally endorse it, must be stronger than other competitors in order to be able to legitimately rise to the top.

As for strength, unless there is a big gap between them, among the strong men in the navy, no one wants to think that they are weaker than the other party. In the final analysis, it still has to be judged by a fight - this leads to the fact that almost everyone

For the appointment of the next marshal of the navy, the candidates have to engage in a real battle of swords and guns, relying on force to determine the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

In such a contest, the best case scenario is that the candidates have called it a day, and the rest voluntarily admit defeat, letting the strongest person take the position, and then continue to work together; the worst case scenario is that everyone loses. Although the marshal is selected,

The Navy became the biggest loser.

In the eyes of the five old stars, the contest between Sakaski and Kuzan is the latter situation with a high probability. And this is indeed the case. In the original plot of One Piece, the two lasted for ten days and ten nights.

After the fierce battle, although Sakaski became the marshal of the navy as the stronger man, he was also seriously injured, leaving wounds that could not be healed, and it took a long time to recover; Kuzan was even worse, and he directly broke a

His legs became disabled and he left the navy.

Although many people later speculated that Kuzan might be similar to "Red Flag" Drake, who confused the world by judging the identity of a free man in the Navy, and thus lurked around Blackbeard to collect intelligence. But the problem is, no matter Kuzan is

This is not the case. He has broken a leg. He may not have much in daily life. He can use his ability to make prosthetic limbs to make ends meet. But if he really encounters an opponent of the same level or an opponent who restrains his ability, he will suffer a lot.

The harm of improper handling of the competition among the candidates for Admiral can be seen clearly.

That's why the Five Old Stars decided to send out a spectating group - since they couldn't stop the battle between Kuzan and Sakaski, they might as well just do it all at once and directly define this battle as a battle to qualify as the next marshal candidate.

Let a large number of powerful and status people witness it, so that the sense of ritual and formality will be full.

Moreover, the presence of the spectators can also make those who are ready to move into the new world, including Kaido, fearful and prolong as much as possible the time for the Totland Sea to be divided up by other forces.

Of course, the Five Old Stars didn’t know how long the battle between Kuzan and Sakaski would last or how much it would affect, so they made such conservative expectations—in Porusa, who already knew everything

Under Lino's arrangement, the waters of Totland have a new owner.

…

Candy Island, a candy-themed island, is located in the southwest of Cake Island, the former headquarters of the Charlotte family. It was originally the territory of Perospero, the eldest son of the family and minister of candy, but due to the outbreak of the war and the navy's cleaning up here,

And was completely abandoned.

Different from the islands located in the original first defense zone and the second defense zone, there are almost no normal civilians on Candy Island. They are all guys who have completely turned to the BIGMOM pirates and can join the war at any time. Therefore, the Navy’s attitude towards this place is

The cleaning was so thorough that there were no survivors left.

"The Flying Dut" arrived at the coast of the island, and could clearly see the charred plants on the shore and the black smoke that filled the entire island... It took some time for the war to end, but the island was washed away by shells

The fire has not completely dissipated.

The destination has been reached, Porusalino, Sakaski and Kuzan have all arrived on the deck - so, what should Porusalino, who is also the audience, referee and director, say to liven up the atmosphere?

"First, never act out of emotion!"

"Second, never miss a single bad thing!"

"Third, the referee is absolutely fair and beautiful!"

"The referee... Porusalino comes to see you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Senior Porusalino... From the beginning to the result, and even every detail, it was all under your leadership and we discussed it. What else are you talking about about the absolute fairness and beauty of the referee?"

…”

Kuzan curled his lips, complained like this, and then jumped directly from the ship, and then the sea in front was frozen.

Sakaski turned around, his gaze fixed on Porusalino, looking directly at him:

"The situation this time is very special, Porusalino, we all know it...but if one day we need to compete on the issue of the next marshal, Kuzan and I will use all our strength,

It's up to you to decide..."

After finishing speaking, a burst of billowing black smoke erupted from Sakaski's body, and then he flew to Candy Island not far away.

"..."

There is a saying that in Porusalino's view, Sakaski flew in the air in an elemental manner, with more than enough momentum but not enough dexterity. But considering what he just said and the script that the three of them discussed, his

This kind of choice has a sense of arrogance that "I won't take your icy road"...

"Stay back a little. Everyone, be careful not to get hurt accidentally, but don't go too far away."

Porusalino gave instructions to the sailors on the ship without looking back.

"...General Porusalino, what do you mean by being too far away?"

"Isn't it? Don't you all like to watch the fun? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, you are not the crew of my "Moyu"."

All the sailors: "..."

This means that they don't have the guts to talk to Porusalino, otherwise they will definitely roar - come on, this is an all-out battle between generals and generals, why are you watching the excitement? How many lives are there? How far can you run?

Far from good?

"Okay, let's take action. Looking at you, you seem to be quite worried about the shipwreck..."

After hearing Porosalino's urging again, the people on the ship reacted. They hurriedly maneuvered and controlled the steering of the ship - although "The Flying Dut" had sunk hundreds of years ago, they

I don’t want to sink the ship a second time.

After nearly ten minutes when the stern of "The Flying Dut" turned towards Candy Island, the whole island suddenly became noisy.

Porusalino jumped, sat directly on the top of the mainmast, and then took out the phone:

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, where have you been?"

"I'll be here in another hour! Porusalino! Have Sakaski and the others started fighting? Let them fight!"

The person who answered the phone was not Marshal Warring States, but Lieutenant General Garp with a loud voice, his tone full of excitement.

Porusalino subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the sailors on the deck. These sensible young people all lowered their heads and worked seriously, saying "Wow, we are actually on a ghost ship" and "Wow, this cable

"So funny"... When Porusalino saw this, he was just about to complain about Lieutenant General Garp, and then he noticed that the little creature called the phone bug was excited, and a clearly visible white breath was exhaled from between its mouth and nose.

gas.

The next moment, the entire Candy Island turned into an iceberg, like the North and South Poles.

But in an instant, violent mountain fires and magma erupted from the iceberg, like a volcanic eruption after an earthquake.

"It's started, it's started, the two of them are starting to warm up!"

…

Since Porusalino and others did not deliberately use high-level armed color Haki to protect friendly parties, they included "The Flying"

Many spectator ships, including the "Dut", were like a lonely boat in a violent storm - not only because of the aftermath of the battle between Sakaski and Kuzan on Candy Island, but also because of the raging battle between the two.

The fighting spirit has enveloped this area.

As we all know, the so-called hegemony is actually the power of people's spiritual will. Although Sakaski and Kuzan do not have domineering domineering, their strong spiritual will alone is enough to influence a considerable area.

Just like in the war on the top, many strong men are confronting each other. Even if they don't take action, ordinary soldiers will have difficulty breathing and their scalp will be numb.

Of course, this is also the reason why the spectators, including Porusalino, did not provide domineering protection to the soldiers - such a terrifying impact on fighting spirit is not only a kind of torture, but also a precious experience, absolutely

Most motivated people can benefit from it.

However, in any case, even though the huge spectator team is not close to Candy Island, there are still huge ice cubes with cold air or smoking lava falling into the surrounding sea from time to time, causing huge

At the same time as the sound, there were violent waves and vibrations.

Almost all the sailors had already hid in the cabin, and the only ones who could move on the deck were the famous and strong men in the navy, and the iron-headed boys like Smoker who wanted to confront the two fighting spirits.

Porusalino had already met with Marshal Sengoku and others. He took the lead in setting up a small tea table on the deck and continued to watch the battle in the distance while drinking tea.

In fact, no matter how good Porosalino's eyesight is, he can't see the specific details in the center of the battlefield without activating his fruit ability or using his Haki. Like Marshal Sengoku and others, he can only see

They are just large-scale impacts such as ice that spreads and then evaporates, lava flows that fall from mid-air and are frozen before landing, etc.

But in any case, he only gave a rough script. The specifics of how to play it were left to Sakaski and Kuzan, so he was also quite curious about the battle between the two.

On the first day, the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, the two sides had offense and defense against each other in the first few days. In Porusalino's opinion, they were just showing off their acting skills and enjoying it.

Starting from the fifth day, the two sides seemed to have entered a stalemate.

Starting from the seventh day, magma began to prevail over ice, and Sakaski took the initiative in the battle. Under his offensive, Kuzan fell into passivity.

On the eighth and ninth days, Kuzan was on full defense.

On the tenth day, Kuzan suddenly counterattacked, and the defender became Sakaski.

Day 11, day 12... Sakaski is on full defense.

The Five Old Stars called for the fourth time since the beginning of this battle, asking whether the battle between the two was over, what was the outcome of the battle, and how long they would probably have to fight.

Porusalino thought about his script and the performance of the two people present, and gave a conservative answer - "Is it expected to end on the twentieth day?"

…

On the twenty-third day, the battle finally ended - Marshal Sengoku and others had been forced to return to Marineland for necessary work, and most of the spectating group and the navy fleet had also withdrawn due to logistical supply problems.
