Chapter 267 My Power is Already Established
Basil Hawkins and Urouge walked behind Karp and Ani, standing side by side, and the two glanced at each other inadvertently.
That glance seemed to silently convey their shock and astonishment. They never imagined that Enni wielded such incredible influence within the Navy.
Recalling the scene in front of Sengoku, Aini's calm demeanor and the confidence and familiarity he showed when talking to Sengoku made them realize that Aini was no ordinary person.
To their utter astonishment, in the area where the naval soldiers spent their daily time, wherever Aini went, the soldiers cast admiring and worshipful glances at him. Many soldiers even took the initiative to step forward to salute and greet Aini, creating a warm atmosphere as if Aini were their hero and idol.
“This…this is too outrageous.” Uroki’s eyes widened as he whispered to Basil Hawkins, his voice filled with disbelief.
Basil Hawkins nodded slightly, his brow furrowed, and his eyes also flashed with surprise: "Yes, I originally thought he only had some influence among the higher-ups, but I didn't expect him to be so popular among the rank-and-file soldiers as well."
A thought couldn't help but cross their minds: it seems that Enni will definitely be on the list of the next admirals.
Thinking of this, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but turn up, as if they could already see a bright future ahead.
After all, they had already made their choice and joined Aini's ranks.
In this complex world, they knew that the higher Ani's position and the greater his power in the Navy, the more advantageous it would be for them, his followers.
They are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, having become a closely intertwined community of interests.
At this moment, not only Basil Hawkins and Urki, but even Aini himself was greatly surprised.
He stood in the crowd, feeling the enthusiasm of the soldiers around him, his heart filled with astonishment. Recalling his journey so far, he silently recounted his experiences.
He always had a clear plan to gain a higher status and more power.
First and foremost, strength is the most crucial factor. In this dog-eat-dog world, without immense power, everything else is meaningless. And his strength largely stems from that mysterious system. This system is like his secret weapon, always providing unexpected assistance at critical moments, allowing him to grow stronger with each battle.
Secondly, his achievements are indispensable. He fought bravely on the battlefield, making outstanding contributions. The pirates he defeated and the civilians he rescued are the best proof of his merits. His name gradually spread throughout the Navy, and he became a hero in everyone's eyes.
Finally, powerful backers and influence are equally important. He knew that in this complex game of power, it was difficult to go far without strong backers and influence. And his backers were the Celestial Dragons of the Holy Land. They were beings at the very top of this world, and with their support, his position in the Navy was greatly enhanced.
Finally, there's the power and influence at hand.
In this era of rapid change and complex interplay of various forces, the power he controls is like a vast and tightly woven net, quietly expanding in this sea of opportunities and dangers.
The first to be affected was Akin, who had already been transferred to headquarters.
Akin, who was already quite capable, is now a Logia-type Devil Fruit user—the Sand-Sand Fruit. Having been transferred to headquarters, he's like a pawn placed in a crucial position, allowing him to not only gather more important intelligence but also utilize headquarters' resources to continuously improve himself and strengthen the power behind him.
Having been in headquarters for more than half a year, during this time, in numerous missions, Akin has always been able to complete them excellently with his calmness and decisiveness, gradually establishing himself in headquarters and becoming a force to be reckoned with.
It's only a matter of time before he's promoted to lieutenant general.
He's probably the one who has had the smoothest promotion among Enni's men, besides Issho. After all, the Marine Headquarters can't just let so many strong individuals from pirate backgrounds be distributed throughout the entire Marine system.
But this is for the best; these people will be concentrated in Aini's hands, becoming his most powerful force.
The Four Seas Exchange is also a crucial part of his empire. The Four Seas Exchange is a commercial behemoth spanning the four sea regions of the East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea.
It's like a giant vortex of wealth, attracting merchants and adventurers from all over the world. The exchange's hall is bustling with activity every day. All sorts of rare treasures, mysterious weapons, and powerful Devil Fruits are traded here.
By controlling the Four Seas Exchange, he not only amassed enormous wealth, but also used the exchange's network of connections to obtain information about other forces.
The entire East China Sea is the foundation of his power.
The East China Sea, a seemingly calm yet mysterious sea, has given birth to countless legends and stories. It wouldn't have been difficult for him to establish his base here and cultivate a group of loyal followers.
From bustling port cities to remote fishing villages, he had informants and supporters everywhere.
He implemented a series of policies in the East China Sea, improving the living conditions of the local residents and winning their support and affection. His fleet roamed freely in the East China Sea, guarding this waters that belonged to him. These fleets consisted of meticulously crafted ships equipped with advanced weaponry and equipment, and their crews were seasoned veterans.
In addition, there were those powerful individuals he had recruited into his ranks.
Especially Vergo, who is about to shine.
Vergo, this name is destined to shake the world in the near future. He possesses exceptional intelligence and formidable strength, and is also a natural-born infiltrator.
He infiltrated the navy and, through his disguise and strategy, gradually rose to an important position.
Now that he possesses the Zoan-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit, he will soon shine in the war against Kaido and Big Mom. Naturally, he will come to the attention of the World Government and the Navy's high command...
At that time, he, a "pure and upright" naval officer, will naturally be promoted.
After Sengoku retires and one of the three admirals ascends to the position of Fleet Admiral, and he fills the vacancy of Admiral, he might fill the vacancy of this Admiral candidate.
At that time, he and Akin will be his biggest help within the naval system.
Therefore, he has already seized power. No one can stop him...
However, despite all his calculations, he never considered the situation of the naval soldiers. Because the power and status he desired could not be given to him by these ordinary naval soldiers.
