## Chapter 166: Supreme Military Command Meeting - Part 1!
As a result, among the five, only Saint Marcus Mars, the top BOSS of the Proclamation Government Institute responsible for areas like History, Technology, and Propaganda, was still supportive of the Ministry of Police Affairs.
After all, separating the military and police was beneficial for maintaining Public Order in Various Places, and with an additional Police Force, a new batch of Technology Equipment would definitely be needed, right?
Furthermore, when the Propaganda Department organizes large-scale Concerts or Speech Meetings in the future, the Police are required by Duty to come and maintain Order.
Unlike the current Marine Branches, which are truly indifferent and unresponsive. They always have to first greet the higher-ups at Marine Headquarters and then transmit Orders layer by layer downwards.
Only when it involves Poneglyphs do they become serious.
However, Saint Marcus Mars knew that the Ministry of Police Affairs would face Resistance not only from within the World Government but also from the Affiliated Countries externally.
After all, this was about seizing their Judicial Power.
Currently, Affiliated Countries generally hand over Civil Disputes among the populace to Constables hired by the various Cities, and then make judgments based on their own domestic Laws.
In reality, these judgments are often based on the Subjective Ideas of the King or other Nobility. After all, few Kingdoms bother to create a comprehensive Law Code. Making Laws too complete would often create constraints for the Nobility as well.
But the high and mighty Im doesn't care about this Resistance or that Resistance!
"First, establish the basic Framework for the Ministry of Police Affairs using the Affiliated Countries in the First Half of the Grand Line as a Pilot Program."
"Before December next year, every Capital of an Affiliated Country must have a Police Station. Workers will be temporarily hired locally."
"Marine Headquarters must transfer at least ten thousand Marine Soldiers into the Police force."
The Five Elders maintained their kneeling and bowing posture, each with a different Expression on their face, but no one dared to voice the slightest objection.
"We respectfully obey your Imperial Will!"
They knew that under Lord Imu's Order, the establishment of the Ministry of Police Affairs was unstoppable, and this was bound to cause Undercurrents in various countries in the First Half of the Grand Line.
The next day, 1 PM.
In front of the current World Government Office Building in Mary Geoise, two rows of Holy Land Garrison Warriors, clad in High-Quality Armor and holding Spears, stood on either side of the road leading to the Gate, serving as the most imposing background with their Gaze fixed straight ahead.
[Step, step, step, step]
A moment later, the first person to arrive was a middle-aged man wearing full Golden Armor, a pure white Cape draped over his back, and medium-length brown hair.
He held a face-covering Helmet in his left hand, his eyes scanning back and forth over the Warriors on both sides with a complete lack of warmth.
"It's Fleet Admiral Lord."
The Holy Land Garrison Warriors present were extremely Familiarize with this man, his figure practically etched into their Souls.
Everyone whose Gaze was swept over by him subconsciously straightened their Posture even further. Even the Expression hidden beneath their Helmets showed no change.
They didn't even dare to watch him walk inside the Gate, truly keeping their Gaze fixed straight ahead!
"Knock, knock, knock."
This Fleet Admiral Lord of the Holy Land Garrison arrived outside the Meeting Room belonging to the Supreme Military Command. He first adjusted his Breathing, then gently knocked on the door.
"Enter."
"Lord."
As soon as he saw the person sitting in the main seat at the Meeting Table, he immediately lowered his head and respectfully greeted.
"Jiang Shou, I knew the first person to arrive would be you. Have a seat," Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said, looking at him with a stern Expression.
His Shodai Kitetsu, which he always cherished, lay quietly on the Meeting Table in front of him.
"Yes!"
"Relax. Although this Matter is related to your Holy Land Garrison, in essence, it's not. Just listen."
"Understood," the Holy Land Garrison Fleet Admiral named Jiang Shou replied respectfully, sitting upright.
Meanwhile, outside the World Government Headquarters Building, three men and one woman met. Looking at the Shoulder Insignias on their Coats of Justice, they were actually two Admirals and two Vice Admirals.
"Hmm?"
"Why are you here?"
Sengoku looked at Sakazuki, who was wearing a red Suit, with great surprise. Kong beside him also had a puzzled look. Sakazuki calmly replied, "The Supreme Military Command sent me a notification."
"It is quite strange. Logically, I shouldn't be qualified to attend a meeting of this level, but..." Tsuru said, frowning in confusion.
Normally, although she and Sakazuki were the Chief of Staff and an Admiral Candidate respectively, they were ultimately only of Vice Admiral Rank. Even if there was something they needed to know, it should be conveyed to them after Fleet Admiral Kong or Sengoku returned.
"Since Sakazuki is here, what about Borsalino and Kuzan?" Sengoku asked.
"I don't know," Sakazuki answered truthfully.
Kong knew about this. He said, "Kuzan has already gone to the Extreme Ice Continent to carry out a Mission. Borsalino's G-0 Branch has just started, perhaps that's why they weren't called."
Compared to them, Sakazuki's G-1 Branch was right next to Mary Geoise, which was very convenient.
"Let's go, we'll know once we go in!"
Kong habitually gave the instruction, then led the way towards the World Government Headquarters Gate. Sengoku, Tsuru, and Sakazuki followed in order.
When they walked into the already open Meeting Room door, they saw the three people already seated at the Meeting Table.
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, the Dean of the Supreme Military Command!
Raimon, the current Commander-in-Chief of the Entire Military!
Jiang Shou, the current Commander of the Holy Land Garrison!
The first one goes without saying. The latter two both hold the Admiral Rank. Adding Kong and Sengoku, this Meeting Room gathered four Admirals from the World Government Military.
Zephyr should have come too, but he was busy treating his Asthma on Drum Island and could only be absent. As for participating via Visual Den Den Mushi in a Video Conference format, how could such a top-level Military meeting allow that?
There were no such Rules yet!
"Let's begin."
After the four Marines took their respective seats, the Five Elders didn't wait for them to ask questions. They waved their hands and instructed the Government Officials waiting nearby.
These Black-Clothed Officials didn't speak in reply, but efficiently placed the already prepared Documents in front of each important figure.
Immediately after, Servants placed a cup of Matcha on the table, and finally, led by the Officials, they quickly left the Meeting Room, closing the door tightly on their way out.
For a moment, the Aroma of Matcha filled the Meeting Room.
This was Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's hobby.
"You all take a look first."
At this time, Sengoku and the others had already noticed that there were many Documents this time, estimated to be two to three centimeters thick. After hearing the Order, they silently opened the Documents and began reading.
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was not in a hurry. He slowly savored the fragrance of the Matcha, completely disregarding the increasingly surprised Expressions of the others.
Unconsciously, Time flowed silently within the Tea Aroma. It took the six people nearly an hour just to read the Documents.
The content was simply too astonishing, and the aspects involved were extremely complex. The sheer Information Volume caused the few people present to frown deeply.
After finishing, the few people exchanged glances, not even knowing where to begin speaking.
At this moment, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn looked at them with a stern, serious face.
"Let's talk about the Star Gate first..."
Today is the 24th, ten chapters will be released.
