Konoha Yellow Monkey: The salary is in place, and Wukage is useless!

Chapter 455 World Recruitment

"You go back first. Vegapunk has increased its defense force in recent times." Akainu suppressed the anger in his heart.

Borsalino stood up and looked at his old friend in front of him. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only turn around and leave silently.

After Borsalino left, Akainu calmed down, stood up, and walked out of the office under the smoke of the burning cigar.

The military expansion plan was rejected, so he could only choose the last resort, which was to carry out a "world conscription" on the sea, directly recruiting strong people hidden among the people, regardless of their background, only looking at their abilities, and directly granting military ranks based on their strength.

Akainu certainly understands the disadvantages of doing this, but today, he has no choice. The navy must replenish sufficient combat power, especially top-level combat power.

This time, Akainu has made up his mind. If the Five Elders do not agree, he will bypass them and carry out the order directly.

Akainu also has his own justice and thoughts.

In the following days, the navy prepared a plan for world conscription, secretly trained Hashirama and others in the Land of Light, and when Mingo began to act as an agent for the Land of Light's trade and the Four Emperors gradually developed relations with the Land of Light, the sea fell into a rare calm.

But everyone knows that beneath the current calm there are undercurrents and huge waves in the future.

In the Land of Light, Danzo showed his excellent skills. When Kizaru did not show up, he used both kindness and force, and used military mercenary services to provide security protection for the Kingdom of Ryugu as bait, and reached an alliance with the mermaid king Neptune.

The two parties agreed that the Congress of Light and Whitebeard would provide shelter for Fishman Island and provide military hire with sufficient strength to ensure the safety of Fishman Island.

In return, the Murloc Kingdom will provide a certain number of Murlocs to the Kingdom of Light to join the Kingdom of Light's army, and will also assist the Kingdom of Light in recruiting Murlocs on the Fish-Man Island.

In addition, the two sides also reached a series of agreements on asset management swaps and economic and trade.

Both parties were very satisfied with this cooperation. The Merman King Neptune believed that through the cooperation, he obtained a lot of cheap supplies. At the same time, he solved the dilemma of the gathering of illegal gangs in Merman Street by providing manpower and recruitment.

In Danzo's view, this cooperation is the starting point for him to devour both the fish-men and mermaid tribes. Especially after seeing the current situation of Fish-man Street, he is even more confident.

After Danzo returned, Kizaru handed over all the execution of external cooperation to his uncle, while he himself was concerned with the most interesting plan, which was the plan for Hashirama and others to infiltrate the navy.

A month later, a piece of news shocked the world.

The new Navy Admiral Akainu officially announced to the world that the Navy has officially launched a world recruitment campaign. Those with ability, regardless of their background, can directly join the Navy as generals.

The deserted island in the East China Sea, where Hashirama and others were training, Kizaru came here as soon as he received the news.

Under the guidance of Rayleigh and Ichisho, after more than a month of training, Hashirama and others have mastered the application of Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Among them, Hashirama Senju and the Third Raikage have even initially mastered the skills of using Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.

"Senior Hashirama, Third Raikage, the world recruitment of the Navy has started. Next, you will go to different islands according to the arrangements of the intelligence unit and prepare to join the Navy." When Kizaru saw everyone, he directly stated the reason for his arrival.

Rayleigh, who was standing aside, had a wave of calm expression. Before this, he thought that Kizaru found him just to let the strong men of the Land of Light master the power of domineering. Now it seems that Kizaru's arrangement is far more than that.

Hashirama Senju and the Third Raikage nodded at the same time. They were already ready to go out.

"Except for you two, everyone else has their own arrangements. You will be scattered to different islands in the Grand Line, and it will be up to you to decide whether to go out to sea to form a pirate group or choose to join the navy." Kizaru continued, his gaze looking at the younger generation behind Hashirama, and finally fixed on Jiraiya.

Compared to others, Jiraiya was the most excited. He seemed to have thought of certain scenes, his face turned red, and he was almost bleeding from his nose.

"Jiraiya, you are not allowed to take the opportunity to reveal it. Even if we are traveling, you must form a pirate group for me to travel together." Kizaru reminded him by name.

Jiraiya returned to reality from his fantasy, and complained in dissatisfaction with Kizaru's special mention: "Kizaru, what do you think I am, you bastard?"

Kizaru ignored Jiraiya's complaints, looked at everyone, and finally said: "The stage has been set for you, and now it depends on your performance."

Kizaru finished his speech and asked the members of the intelligence unit that came with him to step forward and connect with the people they were responsible for.

Among these people, Hashirama Senju will be packaged as an image similar to Issho, a powerful hermit who loves gambling and travels around.

While Hashirama was training, some ninjas from the intelligence corps transformed into his appearance and roamed around the Grand Line gambling.

At the same time, under the arrangement of the intelligence force, the ninjas of the Uchiha and Yamanaka clans used illusions to brainwash people in many places on the Grand Line, shaping the experiences of Hashirama in his last decades.

A young boy from a noble family encountered pirates while traveling on a merchant ship. His parents were killed and he was stranded on a deserted island. He met a reclusive strong man, was adopted, and then trained to become a strong man.

After his adoptive father passed away, he went traveling at sea. He loved gambling, mastered the secret art of controlling plants, and had considerable strength. He had captured pirates in exchange for bounties.

This series of experiences, arranged by the intelligence forces, all left tangible traces through illusion and ninja acting.

Similarly, the Third Raikage and his son were arranged to live in seclusion on an island in the first half of the Grand Line. The father and son ran a fighting gym on the island and usually made a living by teaching people fighting skills and training. Their life was relatively poor.

The residents of the island where the two men lived in seclusion have all been brainwashed through illusion by the intelligence forces. The gym has also been built to look old, and the two ninjas are playing the role of father and son.

Next, after the Third Raikage and his son actually go to the gym, the intelligence department will arrange for a group of real pirates to attack the island. The father and son will then attack the residents on the island, defeat the pirates, go to the navy to exchange for a bounty, and then join the navy at the invitation of the navy.

In order to attract the attention and enthusiasm of the navy, this group of pirates must have a certain weight, the bounty must be over 100 million, and the naval officers near the island have long been replaced by ninjas from the intelligence force.

The arrangements for Hashirama Senju and the Third Raikage, father and son, were personally overseen by Kizaru and were the most detailed.

The situation for the rest of the people is relatively simple. The intelligence team only needs to design a simple background for the novice village islands where they appear and brainwash them.

Under the arrangement of the ninjas of the intelligence unit, the people who received training left the island one after another by boat. In the end, only Kizaru, Fujitora, Rayleigh and Xia Qi were left.

Kizaru originally planned to let Fujitora, a familiar visitor to the Land of Light, lead Rayleigh and Shaki to tour the Land of Light.

But Rayleigh said goodbye. Before the Battle of Marineford, he promised Kuma that he would guide Luffy in his training. He had already wasted a lot of time in the East China Sea, and it was time to leave.

Seeing this, Kizaru did not force the two, but made an agreement with Rayleigh and Xia Qi that after Rayleigh's teaching was completed, he would invite the two to visit the Land of Light.

As for Fujitora, the World Government has withdrawn the bounty and wanted order for him. However, he is not going to continue his previous life. After experiencing the Kingdom of Light, he agrees with the ideology and system of the Kingdom of Light and is willing to contribute to the Kingdom of Light. Under Kizaru's arrangement, he will go to the military base on the front line to continue to guide the ninjas on the front line and strive to let more people master the power of Haki.

After asking the opinions of the three people, Kizaru respected their choices and directly used his ability to teleport them to their respective destinations.

After seeing the three people off, Kizaru temporarily returned to Peace Island. All he needed to do next was to wait for the good shows to unfold.

On the Peace Island, Danzo, who learned of Kizaru's return, took time out of his busy schedule to find his troublesome nephew.

"Kizaru, do you have any ideas about the mercenaries on Fishman Island?" This is something that has been giving Danzo a headache lately.

Because Kizaru assigned tasks to a group of capable and strong men and seed players of the younger generation, Danzo was unable to find suitable personnel for a while.

It is really difficult to choose a ninja who is strong enough to deter pirates, suppress those arrogant fishmen, and cooperate with Danzo's plan to devour the fishmen. He is also smart.

Faced with the question raised by his uncle, Kizaru, who was smoking a cigar in the office, sat up slightly and quickly went through a group of candidates in his mind.

In Kizaru's opinion, the most suitable candidate is actually Orochimaru, but Orochimaru is now the head of the science and technology department of the Land of Light. He is immersed in scientific research and cannot and will not be willing to carry out such a task.

Putting Orochimaru aside, Kizaru really couldn't pick out a completely suitable candidate among the other candidates.

Ōnoki has both strength and wisdom, but he is already old and his image is not very convincing.

His son Huangtu is of the right age, but his strength is only decent. He is not yet able to shock the whole audience with just one move.

As for the rest of the people, basically, their abilities either do not meet the requirements or they have their own responsibilities and do not have the time to carry out the tasks.

After Kizaru pondered for a while, a light bulb went off in his head and he had a good idea.

"Uncle, among the ninjas who are free to carry out missions, there is indeed no one who can meet your requirements in both strength and wisdom. However, I have thought of a suitable candidate, or I can let him be in charge of this matter."

"Who?"

"My teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen?" Danzo was surprised at first, then after careful thought, he felt that it was indeed appropriate.

"Hiruzen is indeed suitable, but he is currently in the government."

"It doesn't matter. It's time for our government to undergo a blood transfusion. The strong men of the older generation will gradually step down, and the new generation of rulers should be gradually trained and take office."

Seeing this, Danzo stopped asking questions. He nodded and said, "In that case, I will return to the Land of Light as soon as possible and communicate with Hiruzen to have him go to Fishman Island and personally take charge to cooperate with my plan."

When Danzo spoke, he particularly emphasized the word "cooperation", and it was obvious that he didn't care who would take the lead in the cooperation between him and Hiruzen.

Huang Yuan did not expose his uncle's little thoughts, but just said: "This matter is your responsibility. I think Sarutobi teacher will cooperate with you."

"He must cooperate!" Danzo said forcefully.

After saying this, Danzo, who got a satisfactory answer, turned around and left.

A few days later, on an island in the first half of the Grand Line, Hashirama Senju, wearing a loose white shirt, black casual trousers, and with his hair cut to shoulder length, walked into the only gambling house in the island town with a smile on his face.

Hashirama Senju, who had rich gambling experience, first exchanged a dozen chips, then wandered around the casino. After figuring out the rules of the game here, he couldn't wait to join the battle at the table.

Speaking of which, the ninja who played Hashirama had a hard time some time ago. In order to comply with Hashirama's luck principle that he would lose almost every time he gambled, the ninja had to try every possible means, even using cheating methods to ensure that he lost money every time.

Now that Hashirama himself has accepted his new identity, the ninja can be considered to have retired with honor.

At the poker table, Hashirama thought he had a good hand, and felt that he had come to a new world and his luck had changed. He went all in without hesitation and bet all his chips.

This time, I won't lose!

With such confidence, Hashirama opened his cards with his opponent, and then the confidence on his face turned into full of doubt about life.

"Excuse me, young man, please give me a bigger chip." Hashirama's opponent smiled and stretched out his hand to gather the chips that Hashirama had put down in front of him.

How is this possible?

Hashirama stepped down from the table with a look of unwillingness to accept reality. He had lost three million berries in the last hand, and most of the funds given to him by the intelligence unit.

Hashirama raised his hand and put it into his inner pocket, touching the wallet inside. There was a small amount of change and the only remaining bank check in the wallet.

If he lost this check for two million, he would basically be bankrupt.

After squeezing his wallet, Hashirama looked at the busy card table again and finally made up his mind.

He just couldn't believe that his luck would always be so bad, and this time he was going to win back everything he had lost.

With such confidence, Hashirama walked back to the bar and exchanged new chips again amid the slightly surprised look of the bunny girl.

Zhu Jian took the chips, rubbed them in his hands, turned to look at the card table in the middle of the casino, and took another firm step.

This time, I will never lose again! (End of this chapter)
