One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 362 The Golden Lion Appears

However, Aini still had some doubts: "Although Issho's strength and abilities do match the position of Navy Admiral, it doesn't seem to fully conform to the Navy's usual promotion rules!"

He frowned slightly and continued, "According to past practice, the selection of admirals usually requires a series of rigorous assessments and evaluations, which not only consider personal strength, but also understanding of naval doctrine, loyalty, leadership skills, and so on."

Akainu's lips curled into a slight smile, as if he had anticipated Aini's questioning. He slowly explained, "Of course I know the Navy's promotion rules, but this situation is special."

I have proposed a global recruitment plan to the Five Elders, seeking righteous individuals from around the world. The recruitment criteria are very simple and direct—rank will be determined by merit!

Of course, this is on the premise that there is no criminal record.

Enni's eyes widened, clearly surprised by Akainu's decision.

Seeing this, Akainu added firmly, "Moreover, the Five Elders have already agreed to this plan. Therefore, Issho, who has already joined the Navy, possesses all the qualifications to become a Navy Admiral. He not only has outstanding strength, but also excellent command abilities and a brilliant record."

More importantly, before joining the navy, he was known as the "Blind Swordsman" and spent his life practicing chivalry.

"Forget about committing crimes, his character is outstanding, perfectly meeting the Navy's requirements."

Akainu paused, then continued, "According to the rules of the World Military Draft, someone like him is fully qualified to sit on the throne of the Marine Admiral. We can't let those who haven't even joined the Marines have the opportunity to hold such an important position, while ignoring someone like Issho who has already served the Marines and achieved remarkable feats!"

Enni was speechless after hearing Akainu's words. He had to admit that Akainu had indeed considered everything very thoroughly, taking all possible scenarios into account.

As expected, those who can sit in high positions in the Navy are definitely not ordinary people!

However, this is actually very advantageous for him!

With just a smile, one can ascend to the throne of a naval admiral; Vergo can also sit in the position of admiral candidate. With him already a naval admiral, their power in the entire navy is almost comparable to that of a naval admiral.

Annie's lips curled into an uncontrollable smile: "Then thank you very much, Fleet Admiral Akainu."

However, just as he was secretly delighted, some doubts suddenly arose in his mind.

After all, given Akainu's personality, this incident shouldn't seem to warrant him showing the same expression as before.

Therefore, Aini couldn't help but think to himself that this second matter was probably quite significant.

So, Enni decided to test Akainu and asked, "And the second thing?"

Before he could finish speaking, Akainu's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, as if covered by a layer of frost. His expression was exceptionally ugly, even ferocious, and his eyes burned with a fierce rage.

Upon seeing this, Aini's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Judging from this situation, things are probably not just serious!"

Akainu remained silent for a while, seemingly considering how to phrase his words. Finally, he slowly spoke, "Yesterday, the long-lost Golden Lion actually reappeared."

His voice was low and deep, revealing a hint of disbelief, but mostly anger!

"Golden Lion?"

Upon hearing this, Aini looked surprised: "Wasn't this guy floating in the sky the whole time? Why did he suddenly come down?"

His impression of the Golden Lion was still that of the legendary floating island; he never expected it to suddenly descend to the ground.

Moreover, in Enni's opinion, even though a Golden Lion is powerful, he shouldn't have caused such a big reaction!

Could it be that this guy has done something earth-shattering?

Upon hearing this, Akainu gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Who knows what he's up to! He could have just come down! But he had to cause trouble as soon as he came down, and big trouble at that!"

Akainu was clearly agitated. He continued, "He stormed into Impel Down and released all the criminals from Level 6!"

Holy crap!

Upon hearing this, Aini was completely stunned. His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. This was utterly unexpected; he had never imagined that the Golden Lion would pull such a stunt.

Originally, according to the plot, Blackbeard was supposed to go to Impel Down to cause trouble, release the criminals, and expand his power.

However, now a new obstacle has suddenly appeared – the Golden Lion – making the plot increasingly unpredictable and baffling.

Seeing this, a series of questions welled up in Aini's mind. He immediately asked, "Why is this guy suddenly targeting Impel Down? Could it be because he still harbors resentment about his past experiences being imprisoned there and wants to take revenge?"

After listening to Enni's words, Akainu pondered for a moment and replied, "Hmm, perhaps that's part of the reason. After all, being locked up in a place like that isn't a pleasant experience for anyone. However, I think the more important reason might be that Shiki wants to recruit the powerful criminals imprisoned in Impel Down to join his pirate crew, thereby increasing his own strength."

After listening to Akainu's analysis, Enni felt that there was some truth to it, but still thought that the plot development was too outrageous.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Isn't this what Blackbeard did in the original story? But now, Wang Zhi has replaced Blackbeard as one of the new Four Emperors, and Shiki has replaced Blackbeard to attack Impel Down and gather the strong fighters there. This plot is completely messed up!"

In Aini's opinion, the plot has not just deviated from its original direction, but has completely fallen apart.

It is developing in an extremely bizarre way, making it impossible to predict what will happen next.

Moreover, this development seems to be trying to return to some of the original plot points, which makes it even more puzzling.

The future has become uncontrollable, which makes Aini somewhat unhappy.

However, he quickly regained his composure. With his current strength, he had absolute confidence in facing anyone.

Then he asked, "Could you tell me the specifics?"

Avaro Pizarro, Katrin Deme, San Juan Wolf, Basque Jote... a total of twenty people, all of whom are wanted criminals with bounties exceeding 600 million.

Also included are Jinbe, Bondi Wald, Barrorick Redfield, and Douglas Barrett.

Among them, twenty people, including Avalo Pizarro, Katrin Deme, San Juan Wolf, and Basque Jote, joined the Golden Lion's ranks.
