Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

As soon as he left the marshal's office, Louis answered the phone and said with a smile:

"Gion, what's going on?"

"When you returned to the headquarters from the New World, how many phone calls did you make to me?" Gion said with a somewhat resentful tone.

Ah this...

"Sorry, it's my fault." Louis said very seriously.

There is no room for sophistry, it is better to be honest.

Gion's side became a little quieter, and then said: "Just apologizing is useless."

"Hahahaha, right? After the World Conference is over, let's take a vacation together!" Louis' tone suddenly became much more relaxed.

Gion on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a touch of tenderness in his eyes: "Okay, this can be considered our second date."

"I've invited you to drinks at the bar many times?" Louis complained.

"But they are not alone!" Gion raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, okay..." Louis smacked his lips first, and then changed the subject a little guiltily: "By the way, what's the matter with calling me?"

Gion smiled vaguely and stopped continuing. Instead, he followed Louis' words and said, "We captured a slave ship in the windless zone..."

"Slave ship?" Louis frowned slightly and asked, "You don't need to report this kind of thing to me, right?"

I am a great admiral, although I seem to be a bit salty right now. Apart from handling some documents on a daily basis, I don’t have much to do.

But it’s not like the matter of a mere slave ship needs to be reported to me, right?

But soon, Louis reacted and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that there are members of the royal family on this slave-catching ship?"

From the end of 1503 to the beginning of 1504 in the Haiyuan calendar, there was considerable chaos on the sea.

In other words, a large number of people are ready to take action, including bounty hunters, pirates, slave traders, black marketeers, and various mafia gangs.

The main reason is because there are many 'fat sheep' in the sea.

In fact, every time a world conference opens, it can be called a hunting feast for these chaotic people.

As for the prey, they are naturally the royal families of these participating countries.

These great nobles, who rarely leave their country all year round, will set off for Mariejoia during this period to prepare to participate in the World Conference.

Some countries can be escorted by navy fleets, while others set off on their own.

But with or without the protection of the navy, they are rare sheep.

Once they are caught during this period, not only will they be able to extort a ransom from their affiliated countries, but even the world government, in order to ensure the stable operation of the world conference, will also find ways to appease these kidnappers.

Basically every world conference, a few unlucky royal families are kidnapped.

What's even more surprising is that after being kidnapped, no one will challenge you. As long as you pay the ransom, you will definitely be returned safely.

It has become a set of unspoken rules!

Therefore, some time before the start of every world conference, the Navy will increase its efforts to clean up various sea areas. Generally speaking, for these people, the windless zone has become a very good hiding place, but The premise is that you have to be able to survive there.

In view of the convenience of the windless belt connecting the world, Louis instinctively thought of which unlucky royal family had been arrested.

"The royal family is indeed a royal family, but they are not from the participating countries." Gion smiled and said softly.

"Not from a franchised country? What do you mean?" Louis asked a little strangely.

But soon, Louis seemed to have thought of something again, and his expression changed: "Amazon? Lily?"

Gion, who was originally planning to tease Louis, asked incredulously: "How do you know?"

"Guess..." Louis grinned.

"Tch, it's really boring." Gion muttered, and then calmly explained: "We were patrolling normally on Iron Ore Island No. 6, and escorting some iron ore supplies back to G-[-], but the result was that the area near Iron Ore Ore Island No. [-] At that time, I suddenly found a slave ship anchored on the sea. After I smiled and took action, the slave traders were naturally arrested. "

"Then you discovered Amazon? Lily's people?" Louis asked with a smile.

"Well, their identities are very powerful! The three crown prince sisters of Amazon Lily are named Boya Hancock, Boya Marigold, and Boya Sandasonia. What's more coincidentally, Amazon Lily's There were only three sisters in the royal family of that generation, but they were all captured in one fell swoop. In other words, the current Amazon Lily..." he said with a smile.

When Louis heard this, his smile became brighter and he said: "It must be a big mess. The royal bloodline suddenly became extinct... This is a very serious matter for any country."

Although in Louis' impression, the three Hancock sisters should have been sold to Mary Joa around next year and became slaves of the Celestial Dragons...

Why did the result come so early?

But soon, he realized that it was one thing to be sold to Marigio, but it was another thing to be caught by the slave team.

It takes a certain amount of time to sail on the sea and find a buyer, and it is normal for the span to exceed a year in total.

"Yes, it is indeed a very serious question, and I have the impression that you are very interested in this pirate country? Maybe this is an opportunity?" Gion thought seriously.

"Well, Amazon? The reason why Lily became a pirate country is actually because it is remote and cannot communicate with other countries normally, so this country can still be saved...

The rescue of their crown prince this time is also a good thing for our navy, but I don't have time to deal with G-6 matters now. I will wait until the world conference is over. I will first detain the three sisters and take care of them. Don't deal with it until you've finished your side work. "Louis ordered.

"Understood!" Gion responded quickly.

After talking about these things, the two chatted some more about G-6 and the Windless Zone.

After Louis became the general, in terms of high-level power in the navy, he basically had full control over the matter of the Windless Belt.

After all, he proposed the plan and made the preliminary preparations himself. G-6 was controlled by his direct troops. There was no reason why he should not be allowed to take care of the Windless Belt.

But at this stage, the Windless Zone is still developing step by step. When the King's Shichibukai plan matures, Smoker will be placed as the Queen of the Shichibukai.

Only when the navy has casing support can the windless zone plan enter the next stage.

"...You mean, this exploration is very likely to find gold mines?" Louis' eyes lit up.

"Yes, at least this is what we judged in this initial exploration. We have already assembled manpower and started substantial mining. Once the gold mine is mined, it will undoubtedly be a huge return for our investment in the windless zone! "Gion said with a slightly excited tone.

"Gold mine... If the reserve is large enough, it will be a solid first step for our navy to break away from the shackles of military spending. It's a good thing!

If there is any progress, please notify me as soon as possible. "Louis said with a smile.

"Okay." Gion nodded.

"Well, is there enough labor force?" Louis asked again.

While Louis was listening to Gion's report on the labor force, a rear admiral hurriedly passed by the corridor. The moment he saw Louis, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over.

However, when he saw that his general was talking on the phone, the major general did not look over blankly. Instead, he stood waiting not far away.

Louis naturally noticed him, and then said to Gion: "Well, that's all. I'll leave the G-6 matters to you and Ichixiao. Well, don't worry, after the World Conference is over, I will definitely take a rest." I’ll go traveling with you during the long vacation, okay?”
