Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 224 Caught
"The first half?"

Hearing what Teacher Zefa said, Xia Che couldn't help but be stunned.

Thanks to their group of BOSSes staying in the Novice Village, Smoker the East China Sea Gatekeeper, and the wandering BOSS Garp who appears from time to time, as well as the East China Sea Overlord BOSS who has already withdrawn from the East China Sea, the pirates in this half of the East China Sea are having a very hard time!
You can't beat them, you can't rob them, and you can't escape from them.

It’s despairing just thinking about it!
In desperation, this group of pirates can only retreat to the front half of the East China Sea, which is also the area that the 16 branches have not yet involved. As a result, the pirates in that half of the sea area have become very rampant, coupled with Mok’s live broadcast some time ago and the incompetent local naval branch.

It can be said that half of the sea area has become quite chaotic during this period of time!
pity.

That sea area is so vast!

The troops of the 16th Navy Branch are unable to control that side for the time being.

As for the basic base... Xia Che still attaches great importance to it. He focuses on steady and solid progress and does not dare to expand the territory blindly.

After all, the geographical environment of the ocean is too special, and the territory has expanded too much, so management problems are likely to occur.

What if it ends up like the Germa 66 Kingdom, which fell apart after just 66 days of unification?
This is also the reason why Xia Che pays great attention to public opinion.

And now this era... is the Great Pirate Era!
Even without talking about the Great Pirate Era, in this ocean world, it is inevitable that a group of so-called sea men would abandon their wives and children in pursuit of so-called freedom and adventure.

It can be said that adventure is a unique feature of this world.

After all, there are countless islands in the sea, with different climates, different cultures, different creatures and plants, and countless thrills and surprises, which still make many people look forward to it.

Not to mention this world, even in his previous life, if you want to know anything about it, you can find it on the Internet, but there are still many people who seek death in the name of adventure and freedom.

Therefore, Xia Che was also considering...how to make the 16 branches adapt to this era and manage their own territories!
Of course, there are relatively few problems in this regard within his sphere of influence. Although there are always a few stupid people who want to secretly go out to sea as pirates, they are only a minority.

only.

Now we can indeed start preparing to expand our territory.

So, Xia Che pondered for a moment and agreed with Teacher Zefa's suggestion.

First recruit soldiers there, and then take control of the sea area there step by step.

But this is not something that can be done just by saying it, there are still many problems that need to be dealt with.

After expressing his opinion, Teacher Zefa pondered for a moment and nodded.

We really shouldn't rush things!

Next, Xia Che took a brief look around the new college.

have to say……

Under the management of Teacher Zefa, this fake naval academy looks much more formal, and it also has special high-tech training equipment... All the new students are training hard.

He also looked at the teaching methods of Clo, Ain, and Kuina.

After talking about the training of Mr. Zefa, it is clear that Cloe's growth is visible to the naked eye. Even his education methods have improved a lot. Perhaps Cloe is now in the stage of explosive growth, which is why he is improving so fast!

After years of accumulation, coupled with the Devil Fruit, he now grows by leaps and bounds once he meets a famous teacher!

He was even appointed by Teacher Zefa as the dean of discipline, to manage school discipline and provide disciplinary education and guidance to the students. This made the students very angry!

And Eneel... Xia Che also saw it. He had a pair of seastone bracelets on his hands. These were specially prepared for him by Teacher Zefa.

The two bracelets are separate and do not affect the movement of his hands, but they greatly suppress Enel's movements, making his movements look quite stiff and difficult for him to move.

According to teacher Zefa... although he is extremely talented, this kid is too dependent on the devil fruit. Now if he wants to become stronger quickly, he can only take drastic measures!

Enel's growth is also very obvious, and his physique seems to have become much stronger.

I believe it won't be long... maybe Mr. Zefa will really train a Marine Admiral of the 16th Branch. During this period, I also watched Mr. Nami's class.

That’s right, Teacher Nami is no longer just a figurehead like before, but has now become a formal teacher in the new academy, teaching students navigation techniques.

Even Teacher Zefa felt that this little girl was extremely talented in sailing, better than any genius he had seen in the Marine Headquarters!
Nami seemed to have heard Zefa's words of praise, and she immediately held her head high with a proud look on her face. She also secretly winked at Xia Che, as if to say, "I'm awesome, right?" Xia Che looked helpless.

After taking a quick look around and taking a look at the new academy's teaching methods, Xia Che did not disturb them.

We came to the planting base controlled by the dwarf tribe again.

There's nothing going on here, I just came to take a look.

With the name of Lando around, the dwarfs worked very seriously. His arrival was even cheered by the dwarfs, who welcomed him as Xia Che Lando.

Nowadays, the grain seeds researched by the dwarfs have spread across the fields of various islands. It can be said that they have... quite enough food!

After giving the dwarfs some encouragement and drawing some big promises, Xia Che returned to his office.

Robin and Violet were still in the office, and seemed to have noticed his arrival a long time ago. They had already poured tea for him, and when he came in, the temperature was just right.

Xia Che sat directly at his seat, picked up the teacup and drank it all, then continued to look through the documents.

The base stations on each island have been built and I believe they will be put into use soon. At the same time, Donghai No. 1 is still being deployed quietly in secret.

In addition...

Xia Che also plans to build a sea train or bridge from this side to the sea area on the other side of the Kingdom of Goa. This will facilitate travel between the two sides and strengthen control over that side, making it easier to advance to the East China Sea on the other side.

As for the bridge connecting all the islands, construction has not started yet.

It can be said that the military, economy, people's livelihood, defense... everything is progressing steadily.

After finishing today's affairs, Xia Che stretched comfortably and was about to lie down to have a good rest.

"Porro porro~"

The private Den Den Mushi started ringing again.

Xia Che was stunned for a moment, but he immediately answered the Den Den Mushi, "Hello?"

"Boss!" Den Den Mushi, who had transformed into the bald-headed Mok, shouted hastily, "Blackfoot has been caught!"

"???"

Who was caught?

After hearing what Mok Den Den Mushi said, Xia Che asked in confusion, "Blackfoot? Who? Your new little brother?"

"No! It's Teach! It's that guy Teach. He's been captured by the admiral of the navy! What should we do now?"

The words fell.

Xia Che: ...

His facial features suddenly tightened together, and he looked like an old man on the subway, staring at the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

Don’t worry about what to do yet, just tell me first... How did Teach become Blackfoot?

Isn't his nickname Blackbeard?
