In 1502 AD, three years after Roger was executed, pirates from all over the world finally broke out like a tide.
Due to the loss of troops and generals in the Demon Slaying Order incident on Ohara Island two years ago, the navy is now facing a bit of a shortage of manpower to deal with the rise of pirates from various places.
Navy Marshal Cyborg Kong's blood pressure has not dropped since the disappearance of the demon-slaying fleet on O'Hara Island two years ago.
The World Government has asked him to thoroughly investigate the Ghost Island Incident. Next, he has to deal with some guys in the navy who only engage in political internal struggles. He will use this incident to attack Sengoku, his future successor. , various impeachments and suppressions.
Now as the first wave of pirates hits, Cyborg Kong is either slapping the table and scolding his mother all day long, or is on the way to slapping the table and scolding his mother.
The desks in the marshal's office have been replaced by more than a dozen so far this year. Those guys who are engaged in power struggles within the navy are all a bunch of stinky trash. They are fighting among themselves one by one, so let them If you go to fight pirates, all of them will just pretend to be dead and claim to be sick.
"To fight a group of small pirates from the South China Sea, we need the support of the large naval force stationed in the South China Sea. Why don't you all die in the South China Sea?
Listen, there is only one fleet of reinforcements, and it will take a day at the earliest to arrive. If they can't even support it by that time, then I will let them collect the corpses for you! "
Once again, the angry thief Dadi ended a useless communication asking for help, and there was a knock on the door of the Navy Marshal's office. Sengoku, who had been demoted to lieutenant general, did not know when he stood at the door of the room.
"Sengoku, what's the matter?"
Cyborg Kong asked directly.
"The pirate group that came from the West Sea has been completely eliminated by Kizaru in the waters outside the Shampoo Islands. Kizaru has now returned to his headquarters."
Warring States Report.
"This is rare good news. It just so happens that a group of strong pirates appeared over there in the North Sea. You guys should go there together to deal with those guys."
Cyborg said empty words.
"I can go over there, but Kizaru was seriously injured in this extermination battle and may not be able to move yet."
"With his strength, how could he be injured?"
"The group of pirates that emerged from the West Sea this time included some guys who had mastered Haki. Although Kizaru defeated them, they were also hurt by them.
Nowadays, the whole world has become a gladiatorial arena, and almost all the guys who can fight their way out are ruthless characters. "
"What do you want to say?"
"Marshal, I want to say that our navy can no longer continue the tug-of-war with that endless group of pirates. I hope you can take my previous suggestions."
"Your suggestion is to recruit pirates to check and balance pirates? Sengoku, I hope you can live up to the word justice behind you."
"Then do you have a better way? As I come to report to you, many of our navy's bases in the four seas may have been taken away by pirates.
Nowadays, the sea situation that the navy can stabilize is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, it may lead to a complete collapse. By then, I am afraid that the situation will be even more difficult to deal with, right? "
"But your plan to recruit big pirates to give them official recognition, cancel their wanted status, and let them fight against other pirates may ultimately make the group of recruited big pirates grow stronger. You have to know, then They are all a group of ambitious guys, and they may become a cancer that cannot be eliminated in the future of our navy and even the world government."
"It's the lesser of two harms. If we don't take action in the current situation, the situation we face will be even worse. Instead of thinking about what will happen in the future, Marshal, we should think about what should be done now."
"I have to talk to my superiors about this, but I'm afraid Wulao Xing won't agree."
Cyborg Kong sighed and said.
"If you don't agree, then Marshal Kong, just call for resignation and let them find someone who can deal with the chaos in the world today to take your place as marshal."
Sengoku suggested.
"Ah, you want me to learn Garp?"
Cyborg Kong's eyes widened.
"Don't you think Garp is the one who knows best in life, and his tricks are very useful?"
Warring States asked.
"That seems to be the case..."
Cyborg Kong was thoughtful.
"I can go try."
"Marshal Kong, don't forget to ask for support and military expenditure. In addition, we must expel those useless guys in the Navy who have various connections and cannot seize power in a war but have the special right to be number one."
"You want to take this opportunity to purify our navy?"
"The pirate wave is a dangerous disaster, but at the same time, isn't it an opportunity to break the inherent rules and give us an opportunity to purify ourselves within the navy?"
Sengoku said that the wave of pirates set off by Roger the Pirate King has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is naturally that all kinds of pirates emerge in endlessly, but the advantage is that this wave can break many inherent rules that they could not break before.
Cyborg Kong agreed with Sengoku's words and asked about Garp's situation.
"It's still the same as before. I do whatever I want and occasionally go back to my hometown in Donghai."
Sengoku replied.
"Is that guy Garp really prepared to become like those worms who eat free money just because he has seniority and a reputation as a naval hero?"
Cyborg Kong is very dissatisfied with Garp's free will, especially now that most of the people who do practical things in the Navy have become busy people.
"Well, Marshal, calm down. Although Garp is a bit arbitrary, he is not lazy when it comes to fighting pirates.
Nowadays, the pirates from the East China Sea can be said to be the weakest among the pirates in the four seas. The naval base on the East China Sea is also calm, but it has never been heard of being destroyed by pirates. "
Warring States spoke objectively for Garp, and suddenly thought of something, he spoke again.
"Also, I heard He said that old boy Garp seems to have a grandson. He went back to the East China Sea to be with his grandson."
"Oh, forget it, he can help relieve the pressure on the East China Sea, so I won't say anything more. By the way, Sengoku, have you ever heard Garp talk about the JD association?"
"what is that?"
Warring States looked at Gang Gu Kong in confusion. Most of his energy was focused on the West China Sea and the South China Sea. He only knew some things about Garp about the East China Sea.
"That is a mysterious association that has only appeared in the East China Sea in the past two years. According to the information I received, they seem to have been secretly intervening in the changes in the political power of some of the participating countries in the East China Sea."
Cyborg Kong said.
"Changes in national power do not seem to be within the jurisdiction of our navy. This should be something that the world government should be concerned about."
Warring States frowned a little. Although the navy would be stationed on the territory of the participating countries of the World Government and existed as a coastal defense force to protect the maritime security of the participating countries, the navy was not actually allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the participating countries.
Therefore, Warring States was a little confused as to why Ganggu Kong would mention such a thing. Even if there were political changes in the franchise, it should have nothing to do with their navy.
"That information gave me a bad feeling. I suspect that there is also a pirate force behind the JD Association, but they are just smarter in hiding their identity."
Cyborg Kong explained.
"Now, even though Garp is doing whatever he wants, with him watching over the East China Sea, he shouldn't let powerful pirates who can interfere with coups and situations in multiple countries appear, right?!"
Listening to Seng Guo's words, Cyborg Kong fell silent.
After a while, Cyborg Kong sighed and said, "Maybe, I'm just too worried."
"When I have free time, I will help you ask Garp about the situation of the JD association in the East China Sea."
Sengoku said as he quickly left the Admiral's office.
Cyborg Kong also acted quickly after he left. He put on his navy marshal's coat and went to the Holy Land Mariejoia to meet the Five Old Stars.
Not surprisingly, when he mentioned
When the Sengoku planned to recruit big pirates to check the pirate wave, the Five Old Stars refused.
In the eyes of the Five Old Stars, pirates are all a group of bold criminals who dare to stand up and resist the World Government. Recruiting them, even if it is purposeful recruitment, is not submissive to a group of mere pirates?
"No? No, I will request to resign from my current position as Navy Admiral!"
"Cyborg Kong, what do you mean? We don't agree with the plan you proposed, and you threaten us with resignation. Do you really think that we dare not resign you as the marshal of the navy?"
"The current world situation is so corrupt. When I am a naval marshal, I either curse or get angry all day long. I am under great pressure.
Quit me? I wish you all the best. If you have the ability, find a capable guy to sit in my current position and let him solve the situation I am facing now! "
Cyborg Kong's voice was so loud that the five old stars were a little bit stunned. After thinking about it for a while, they really couldn't think of a more capable candidate to be the navy marshal than Cyborg Kong, so they could only recognize the current situation. In reality, he reluctantly agreed to it, hoping to recruit a big pirate to check the plans of other pirates.
"What, you still want thirty times the military supplies, are you going to massively expand the size of the navy, and are you going to expel the rights of all the people involved in the navy?"
"Cyborg Sora, don't go too far!"
Immediately, Wulao Xing, who was holding a long knife in his arms and with a bare head, roared out.
"Nowadays, the navy is internally corrupt and short of manpower. It does not have enough military supplies. If we don't expand the size of the navy, what do you want us to do to quell this pirate rebellion that will last for who knows how long? If this doesn't work, then Allow me to resign as Admiral of the Navy!"
Five Old Stars: "..."
In the end, after a bargaining session, Wulaoxing agreed to Ganggu Kong, providing the navy with various military and material support to expand its current size ten times, and also giving greater rights to expel some related households. .
"We will help you put down the trouble behind those connections, so don't go too far."
"And if you can't handle things well, don't blame the world government for punishing you!"
Facts have proved that being a showman is really happy. Cyborg Kong, who succeeded in showing off the Five Old Stars and won strong support from the World Government for the navy, fell into love with Mary Joa easily, leaving his sorrow to Five. Old star.
After Cyborg Kong left, Wulaoxing's expression was extremely ugly.
"You said that this part of the military supplies is to support the navy. How are we going to provide it?"
As the ruling class of this world, the World Government makes a lot of money, but it also spends a lot of money. The cost of maintaining the army and maintaining various building facilities every year is an astronomical figure.
Nowadays, if the Navy's expenses are to increase, it means that the money must be saved from other aspects. However, doing so will inevitably make people from other aspects dissatisfied, which is not conducive to the unity and harmony within the world government.
Although Wulaoxing stands at the top of power in this world, it also proves that it is not easy to be the boss.
The world is so big and there are so many interests. If the boss doesn't divide the cake well, the problems it will cause may become even worse.
However, the momentum of the pirate wave is very fierce. The situation in the navy is now so bad that even Cyborg Kong has resigned. He really can't ignore it. This is giving the five old stars a very headache.
After thinking about it, Saint Satan spoke: "How about intercepting this part of the military supplies on the gold in the sky?"
Heavenly Gold is part of the treasure that each major country that joins the World Government must pay tribute to the Celestial Dragons every year. Generally, the huge amount of money converted from this treasure will be used for the wanton squandering of the Celestial Dragons. It is considered the most Irrelevant entertainment dollars.
Of course, part of it would have been intercepted and used for serious matters, such as the scientific research undertakings of scientific research institutions secretly controlled by the world government, or the armed forces used by the world government to maintain its own rule.
But apart from that, part of it is still used for the enjoyment of the Draco group.
It was this part of the funds that Saint Satan had the idea of reducing.
"Do you want all the major Celestial Dragon families to come over and protest against us?"
"It's just a temporary reduction, and we will make up for it later."
"Do you think it's useful to say this?"
"No matter how hard you suffer, you can't suffer the Tianlong people, unless you want to be punished by Lord Yinmu."
"Well, this reminds me that since we can't suffer the Tianlong people, we might as well suffer the people below."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Everyone looked at Wulaoxing who spoke.
"Let's charge more money from the following franchise countries."
Wu Laoxing, who looked like an old man with a beard, said.
"This is not a good idea. I am afraid that the participating countries below will not agree to the additional charge of heavenly gold. They may break away from our world government because of this."
"Isn't this just right? The navy doesn't have enough power. There are fewer alliance countries that need to be protected. So we can save some naval power and reduce the burden on the navy. We can also spend less on military supplies."
"Well, this sounds good, but the funding gap is still huge. The extra heavenly gold we collect cannot be too much, because we can't force all the participating countries out of the world government. In that case, the situation will It’s simply not worth the loss.”
"Didn't Cyborg Kong mention to us just now about the secret association that emerged in the East China Sea? According to the reports from the CP organization, the JD association did intervene behind the scenes in the East China Sea, and our World Government affiliated countries The situation of internal affairs changes.”
"You want to make up for this funding gap from them?"
"I have this idea, and we are well-known for our role in avenging those countries whose regimes were changed."
"However, for a force that can secretly control many countries in the East China Sea, I'm afraid their strength is not weak. And if we want to deal with them, we will definitely not be able to rely on the naval force, which is somewhat difficult to deal with now. If we just dispatch If we use our own troops directly to deal with them, I am afraid there will be some damage while cleaning up the organization..."
"Indeed, so I plan to try a peaceful solution."
"What are you going to do?"
"Let CP0 send a message to the people behind that association. If they are willing to pay many times the amount of the heavenly gold of the country they occupy, the world government will recognize their legitimacy in the East China Sea."
"But what if they don't want to?"
"Then eliminate them, in order to gain the wealth accumulated by the upper classes of the countries whose regimes were changed. Even if our directly affiliated troops will suffer some losses when they are eliminated, the wealth gains gained after eliminating the JD association should also be It can satisfy us."
Wulaoxing ended the conversation.
.
.
It didn't take long for the news to increase the price of heavenly gold to come out.
The representatives of the franchised countries stationed on the side of the World Government suddenly exploded.
"How is this possible? Our country simply cannot afford so much money. Is the World Government trying to force us to death?"
"You can also choose not to pay. Don't you see that the World Government says it's all based on the voluntariness of each country?"
"Is that voluntary? No, it's a threat. If we don't pay the extra money, the navy will not protect us, and our country will be invaded by pirates!"
"damn it……"
Among the participating countries, except for some rich guys who want to flatter the World Government and dream of being promoted to [World Nobles] and becoming a member of the Tianlong people one day in the future.
Everyone else secretly hates the World Government for its exploitation of their countries, but most countries have no choice but to grit their teeth and pay for peace.
As for countries that cannot afford to pay, they will have to face a situation without naval protection. In this treacherous sea, without the protection of armed forces, they will be like pieces of fat, attracting countless Jackals are evil
shark.
Major evil forces such as pirate groups, human traffickers, and gangs will brutally divide and devour countries that have lost their power to protect them like prey, until those countries are completely destroyed and disappear from the history of this world. .
This is not a joke. Such cruel things often happen in this world, such as those member countries that cannot pay the heavenly gold.
Because all the money has been given to the World Government, there is no money to develop its own armed forces. Once it breaks away from the World Government, it will become a lamb to be slaughtered.
In fact, evil forces such as the slave-catching team and the human trafficker group under the Tianlong people are one of the main forces devouring the flesh and blood of these countries.
