Facing Garp's question and the piercing gazes of Whitebeard and the others, V. Nusjuro pondered and after a mont of silence, he looked up and said in a serious tone: "Without a doubt, Lord Imu's power is on a completely superior level to ours."
"But I honestly don't know if we can reach the level of Lord Imu, or how to do so if we can. These are matters that need further consultation. I just ask that you please be patient and wait."
Garp, Kaido and the others were not satisfied with this answer.
But because of V. Nusjuro's status, they could no longer pressure him and rely sighed in resignation, hoping that he would keep his word and that Imu would soon show them the way forward.
Nusjuro continued: "The main reason I summoned you today, aside from telling you about Lord Imu, is to discuss so plans that will begin to be implented next year."
After saying that, he turned to Kong, who was sitting next to him: "Now, it will be your turn to lead the eting. I'm leaving."
"All right." Kong nodded.
Shortly after, when V. Nusjuro left the eting room, Kong took his place at the head of the table.
He took out a Den-Den Mushi modified to project images and placed it on the table.
In the next instant, the lights in the room dimd automatically, as the Den-Den Mushi projected a beam of light that ford a virtual screen in the air.
[Proposal for Reform of the World Governnt's Military System.]
These lines appeared in front of everyone present.
"These are the changes we will implent next year across all branches of the military."
Kong got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.
He pressed a button on the side of the Den-Den Mushi, projecting a new slide detailing the reform.
"Minister Kong, I have so questions." Sengoku said, breaking the silence.
Kong smiled. "Go ahead and ask."
"Why are ranks from Major General onwards not included in the rit list?"
Kong patiently replied: "Because from now on, to be promoted to Major General and beyond, specific criteria will need to be t, such as demonstrating an adequate combat level. If these conditions are t, a direct promotion to Major General could be given. This is also related to the Ard Forces Combat Power Evaluation Sche, which we will discuss in detail later."
When Sengoku and the others heard Kong ntion this, they paid attention as they could sense that this was perhaps the most important information.
However, Garp didn't seem too interested and, with a loud laugh, comnted: "So, you an that characters like Issho, Bullet, Crocodile, and Aramaki will soon be promoted to generals, right?"
Kong shook his head. "Although combat strength is the main requirent for promotion to General, battle rits and experience are also required. So we still need to consider whether Issho and Aramaki can be promoted."
"In Crocodile's case, his promotion to General is beyond doubt. As for that Bullet kid, his promotion to General has already been decided and will be made official next year."
Sakazuki frowned, visibly annoyed. Even though he knew this was sothing that would happen sooner or later, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
This caused him so resentnt towards people like Onigumo and Doberman, who, as career lieutenant generals, had failed to stop these pirates from occupying such important positions.
Kong used the Den-Den Mushi to change the slide.
[Order of Awards of the Supre Executive Committee]
The information provided details of various orders and awards, as well as other honors.
Each of these had detailed descriptions and visual representations of the dals that could be earned during military service.
What really caught everyone's attention was not the bonuses or the honors, but the ntion of the titles of nobility and the lands granted.
"As so of you may have heard, a system of war rit titles is being planned to be implented. Although all the details have not been finalized yet, it will be announced next year. But the most important thing is that, in the future, you will be able to obtain noble titles and lands thanks to your military rits. In other words, you can now be a noble."
What he didn't say was that in the future, the World Governnt plans to be made up of only ritorious nobles.
"I never thought that I would beco a noble one day, hahaha!"
Garp laughed when he said this. He had always shown little interest in royalty and nobility, considering them a majority of useless people who lived at the expense of others and dedicated themselves to doing evil.
"That's true. Depending on the war rits you've accumulated, you can certainly obtain a good title of nobility. But, if you don't have enough relatives, your lands might end up being abandoned. So you should think carefully about it."
With a wide smile, Kong looked at Sakazuki, Kuzan, Borsalino, and the others. "You guys aren't that young anymore. It would be nice if you got married soon and had so kids. I'm sure they will be very talented."
Although it seed like a joke, his words had a hint of seriousness. With the talent that Sakazuki and the others had, if they were to have children, their abilities would surpass that of most people.
But upon hearing Kong, Sakazuki and the others remained silent. No one reacted, they just stared at the table or the ceiling.
Despite their different personalities, they agreed on this point: none of them had much interest in won.
"Ahem, okay, let's take a look at the combat capability assessnt outline of the Ard Forces."
Kong felt sowhat uncomfortable at the lack of response from Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino.
The content on the virtual screen showed that the purpose of the combat capability assessnt is to ensure the skill level of high-ranking officers and improve their motivation and effectiveness in performing combat missions, as well as developing their personal skills. This will allow improving the overall strength of the officer hierarchy.
The results of the examination will be reflected in promotions in rank, changes in position, job transfers, and changes in levels of treatnt.
The evaluation is carried out every three years, at the sa ti as the Levely.
The exam includes physical ability tests, military theories, command tests and combat strength assessnt.
The content of the exam is very detailed, and the tests vary depending on the rank and level of each participant.
"What is this? Military theory? Military command? I never learned that!" Suddenly, Garp stood up in surprise, slamming his fist on the table.
"Now it's a few months until Levely, you just have to read a few more books." Kong, with a smile, looked at Garp.
But Garp imdiately responded, in a resounding manner. "Impossible!"
During this ti, Garp had been required to study human biology in order to improve his control over the Seii Kikan. But now, they ask him to study military theory...
In fact, this exam focused mainly on the officers' physical capabilities and combat strength.
The World Governnt's army was composed of individuals with extraordinary powers, capable of annihilating an entire army with ease.
Military theory and command do not have much impact on the evaluation.
However, Kong hoped that officers like Garp could at least know the basics of the theory, so he would not ntion it to him.
"Garp, the content of the exam has already been decided. I'll tell you clearly, all the results will be published with grades and rankings."
Kong looked at him seriously.
"If you fail any of the assessnts, your rank may not change, but it will be very difficult for you to participate in major battles in other worlds."
Kong continued: "That is to say, if an expert from another world appears, you will probably only be able to see him from here at the Starfish World Army Headquarters."
"What?"
Garp's face changed drastically.
"This is even worse!"
...
After the Emperor lost control during the last eting with the World Governnt, talks have resud, with the goal of establishing the Teigu World as an affiliate nation of the World Governnt.
This eting has undoubtedly been the center of attention of kings, nobles and political leaders from all sectors in the Starfish World.
Especially in the affiliated nations that have representative seats in the Levely.
They are now in a very uneasy mood, and everyone's face is full of worry and tension.
Because no one knows which nation the World Governnt will decide to withdraw from Levely.
Although, even if it's not their turn this ti, what will happen when another otherworldly nation receives a seat in the future?
It is evident that as long as the world governnt continues its expansion and conquest of other worlds, this type of situation will repeat itself over and over again.
This is a problem that affects all affiliated nations of the World Governnt.
For today's World Governnt, the primary consideration in granting a seat to a nation is the value it brings.
So, for the affiliated nations, the secret to maintaining their place and for those who do not yet have one, the way forward is clear: increase their value.
Training powerful officers, scientists and experts, or discovering unique resources or technologies are so of the ways to stand out.
However, at this ti, the affiliated nations have not yet understood these key points.
While Imu was observing the negotiations in Teigu World, a request for a video call from Esdeath ca in.
"How's everything going?" Imu asked.
"Lord Imu, unfortunately I have not sensed the natural energy that Guren ntioned in the polar regions of the Titans World." Esdeath reported.
"So now I will head towards the polar regions of my own world. We are already flying over the continent of Canberra."
"Well, I hope you can earn sothing in the Teigu World and that you can start training with natural energy."
Imu dedicated a phrase of encouragent to her.
"By the way, when you return, the empire should have already joined the World Governnt. Take this opportunity to go to the imperial capital and bring the mbers you have chosen to be part of your personal guard."
"Okay!" Esdeath nodded.
After the conversation, Imu hung up. They both knew that their relationship was not a typical love or romance. What was between them was clear: the emperor and the consort.
Each of them got what they needed.
