Chapter 2132 Crocodile Wants to Curse! (Additional chapter for the leader of the Scarlet Alliance.1)
Because they deserve better, of course.
After awarding commendations and medals to Xiao Ai, Uchiha Katsuhisa and others, Uzui Tengen returned to his seat.
His mission was accomplished, and from now on he was just a spectator.
As the applause that resounded throughout the auditorium gradually faded away.
Chief of Staff Alexander Watson continued to preside over the conference proceedings.
"Now, please ask Marshal Raymond to come forward and present the Army Headquarters Medal of Merit to the honoree!"
"Please invite the fifty-three winners to take their seats on the stage!"
The Army, Navy, and Ninja Medals of Merit are honors awarded to generals or jonins and below during war.
So these forty-two people come from the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth main combat corps.
There are also the lieutenant generals of the Starfish Corps who were temporarily dispatched to the Black Grass World and performed outstandingly.
Although the Sixth Main Combat Legion did not participate in the war against the Black Grass World and the Underworld Demons.
But they followed the former Sakuradai General Tiger to support the Four Souls World.
So they were also awarded the honors this time, but their number was relatively small.
However, the officers and commanders of the Navy Headquarters looked somewhat depressed.
They already knew that this conference was purely for spectators.
After all, the navy hasn't had any major battles recently, so it just dealt with some space pirates who came to investigate.
Although he had made contributions, they were not enough to earn him medals or awards. He only received a few military merit points.
So they are now very eager for war, preferably a large-scale war.
As for the risk of sacrifice, why be a soldier if you are afraid of death? Just transfer to the police as soon as possible!
at the same time.
Marshall D. Teach, who was standing on the stage, had a calm expression.
He was totally unlike Zhu Tian, Tsuchigumo, Busei-gawa Genya, Nahashu and others around him who were happy.
This medal, which is awarded to officers below the rank of general, is completely dispensable to him.
The biggest advantage is that the military rank is directly promoted by one level, from colonel to brigadier general.
The problem is that there will be an assessment of the army's combat effectiveness next year, and with Teach's ability, he is not even a step up from brigadier general.
His goal is to directly defeat the admiral, or even challenge Crocodile and take the sixth admiral position.
Originally, Teach was planning to challenge Tiger, but who knew this guy ran away!
His thoughts were a little scattered, even when Raymond walked up to him.
I'm still thinking about which devil fruit to choose for the second one.
"Okay, winners, please leave the stage in an orderly manner, but Marshal Raymond, please wait a moment."
Chief of Staff Alexander Watson raised his voice significantly:
"Next, please invite Marshal Raymond to present awards and medals to the twenty-two generals who have received the Army Headquarters Marshal's Commendation Order and the Elite Medal!"
In the audience, Spider Demon, Doberman, Charlotte Irving, Rengoku Kyojuro, Charlotte Daifuku, Fushigi Miya, Leone and other major generals, lieutenant generals, admirals and generals stood up and went on stage.
Yes, one of them is a general, Crocodile, the 'Sand Crocodile' of the Army Headquarters!
This instantly made him the focus of the whole audience, with a Den Den Mushi staring at him.
However, Crocodile was not happy, but felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Because among the generals of the Army Headquarters this time, he is the only one who has never fought against the highest-level devil!
Therefore, his achievements were only enough to earn him the Marshal's Commendation Order and the Elite Medal.
But no matter what, he had to endure it and turn it into motivation, forcing himself to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
"These bastards."
Crocodile, who had been expressionless, couldn't hold back when he saw Kaido, Barrett, Aramaki and others around him laughing and applauding.
Only the Navy's 'Sable Admiral' Abelru had sympathy in his eyes.
He could understand the other person's feelings at the moment very well.
"call----"
In the end, Crocodile didn't know how he survived.
He only knew that he felt mentally exhausted the moment he returned to his seat and sat down.
The elite medal next to the Wave Cross on his chest, although shining, could not bring him any happiness.
This is destined to be a medal that he will despise.
"Now, please invite Dean Gareth Marik of the Army's Supreme Command Institute and Minister Kong of the Command Headquarters to come forward and present the Army's Supreme Command Institute's collective commendation order and the Purple Star Medal to the Wood Shadow of the Sea Village, Hashirama Senju, and the Hokage, Madara Uchiha!"
“Please also invite the two winners to take their seats on stage!”
Chief of Staff Alexander Watson's words once again drew everyone's attention to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
The two looked at each other, then stood up in tacit understanding.
This made Lao Ai, who was sitting next to them, envious of their luck.
Yes, in his opinion, encountering a supreme demon in the Black Grass World was luck.
And their own people rushed into the underworld, but they were fighting with higher-level demons the whole time.
How to say this?
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara did receive awards and medals for this.
But can it really be said that it was good luck? If Barrett had not arrived at that time, the two would have died at the hands of Admiller!
Or, if the person at the scene was Lao Ai, would he have survived?
Anyway, that's the end of the matter.
Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were awarded the Purple Star Medal again.
But Lao Ai didn't even have one.
[Crash————]
When Dean Gareth Malik and Minister Kong respectively picked up the Purple Star Medal.
Hanging on the chest of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, who were wearing black robes with red clouds.
Then hand the commendation order to them.
The audience burst into thunderous applause again, and it was obviously more enthusiastic than the previous times.
Because during this process, Chief of Staff Alexander Watson had briefly introduced their record of working together to hold back a top-level demon for several hours.
At this time, people far away in the Sea Village and the Ninja World were happy and cheering for the two.
"As expected of you, the First Hokage and the Shura of the Ninja World!"
"Too strong! I heard that the highest-ranking demon can easily defeat a general!"
"Now the names of these two adults will surely spread throughout the world!"
"What a pity, our Raikage-sama is not here. Really, why doesn't this highest-ranking devil find him?"
After a while.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara wore two purple star medals on their chests and commendation orders in their hands.
He returned to his seat amidst loud music and the attention of the crowd.
Dean Gareth Malik and Minister Steelbone Kong on the stage also sat back in their seats.
The climax of this commendation and awarding ceremony finally arrived.
Chief of Staff Alexander Watson took a deep breath and called out with all his passion:
"Now let us solemnly invite the Military Commissioner of the Supreme Ruling Council, Saint Zambaron V. Nasushoro, to come forward and present medals to the recipients of the Supreme Ruling Council's Commendation Order and the Five-Star Badge!"
"All rise!!!"
The Five Elders have stood up. Who among those present is qualified to sit down?
【Shua————】
Nearly 20,000 people on the upper, middle and lower stands stood up and looked in awe at the old man in white who walked to the podium.
"Next, please welcome the recipients of the Supreme Governing Council's Commendation and the Five-Star Badge."
"General Sakaski of the Army Headquarters, Akainu!"
"Ghost Shark General Douglas Barrett of the Army Headquarters!"
"Army Headquarters Green Bull General Aramaki!"
"White Whale General Edward Newgate of the Army Headquarters!"
"Admiral Kaido, Blue Dragon of the Navy Headquarters!"
“Get on stage and take your positions!!!”
The audience was in an uproar after hearing the whole thing. The applause almost blew the roof off and the air was vibrating violently.
Only Crocodile had a gloomy expression.
Because everyone around him had gone up, and he was the only one still standing there.
Damn it, I want to curse.
