Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 107 Another meeting

The next afternoon, Fenrir Island, conference hall.

"Well, you know, some of my words are still..."

Burfat sat on a chair beside the long table and took the stack of densely written manuscript paper from the handle with an embarrassed look on his face.

Although every word above was written clearly and delicately, like a graceful lady, his fish-man brain really couldn't appreciate these beauties.

"Don't worry, I'll explain each point in detail later. Just listen."

You don’t have to read the meeting materials, but you can’t not take them. After all, your attitude still needs to be correct.

"Since most people are here, let's get started."

Kaido, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced around the hall - Jin, Burfat, Ossi, Obe, the bandaged Skepgate, and Light, who was specially requested by La, were all in place.

"Ah."

La nodded, returned to his seat, then pointed at the documents on the table and said:

"Everyone, please take a quick look at the documents in your hands. Here are some proposals I've compiled regarding the future internal management system of the pirate group."

Ignoring Burfat and Osi who were competing to see who would blink first, the rest of the people picked up the documents in front of them and read them carefully.

Even Kaido was holding a piece of paper that seemed too small compared to his body, and squinting his eyes as he read it line by line.

He didn't drink too much last night in preparation for the meeting this afternoon.

"Tsk~"

[Didn't you prepare any juice this time... Looks like I've been lazy lately.]
Kaido smacked his lips and started thinking about something dangerous.

[Should I bring my wine flask to the next meeting?]
……

"Well, that's it."

“They are indeed some excellent and feasible plans.”

The first one to finish reading was Wright. He adjusted his freshly wiped glasses, put down the document in his hand and asked:
"Ms. La, according to what you wrote in this plan, do you want to divide the pirate group into different departments?"

"Correct."

La nodded.

"I won't elaborate on the chaotic situation among the beasts right now. I believe everyone is more or less aware of it."

"And what I want is to use this opportunity to complete the internal organizational reconstruction of the pirate group in one fell swoop."

After saying this, La turned his gaze towards Kaido.

Seeing that Kaido was having a lot of trouble watching, but his attitude was still very serious and not perfunctory at all, La nodded affirmatively.

At least the other party will not let down in such important matters.

"Hmm? ...Why are you looking at me?"

Feeling La's gaze, Kaido raised his head and asked in confusion.

"I wonder if Captain Kaido has any suggestions for my proposal?"

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished reading it yet. Remember to use larger paper next time."

As he said this, he lowered his head again.

"Don't bother your eyes any more. I'll explain it in detail shortly."

La said as she tapped the table lightly.

"Ossie, Burfat."

"Yes!"

“Ah, ah? …Is it about to start?”

When they heard La calling their names, they stopped staring at each other and immediately sat up straight.

Seeing that everyone looked up, La didn't keep them in suspense.

“There are three options that can be used as reference now.

One is to set up squads like the Whitebeard Pirates, with officers serving as squad leaders, and each squad having different responsibilities."

"Newgate..." Kaido stroked his chin, noncommittal. "The second is the Big Mom Pirates' operational model, where officers are assigned to various islands for complete administrative and military management."

"We don't have that many people. Next one."

Kaido waved his hand, signaling to skip this.

"Finally, we will establish a four-tiered management system based on the Navy's organizational structure."

"Oh, four levels of management? Which four levels?"

Kaido didn't expect that the last plan was based on the navy, and he immediately became interested.

"Captain - core cadres - middle-level cadres - grassroots members." La replied.

"With the captain as the center, establish core personnel to be responsible for managing all major affairs within the pirate group."

"The captain and core personnel will remain at the headquarters, and mid-level personnel will be stationed on the remaining affiliated islands."

"The final grassroots members will be an independent unit, consisting of eighty combatants and twenty logistics personnel."

"One hundred people... is that the configuration for a ship?" Burfat immediately understood the personnel composition.

"Indeed, these combat teams will form the cornerstone of the future Hundred Beasts' combat power. They will remain on each island and will not be replaced at will."

These are actually equivalent to the garrison soldiers of various naval branches.

"Mid-level cadres will have command authority over these combat teams when assigned to various islands, but any long-distance operations off the islands will require approval from core cadres or above."

"We also use the monthly tax payments from each island to rotate resident positions, ensuring that every mid-level cadre and combat team knows each other."

This rotation system allows middle-level cadres to become fully familiar with all the conditions in the pirate group's territories, avoiding being completely in the dark once they leave their base.

At the same time, this monthly rotation also minimizes the situation where some naval branches turn the soldiers in the base into their own private armed forces.

Although some of the people present were not well educated, they were all veterans who had been in the sea for many years and could understand this kind of thing very easily.

"What about affiliated pirate groups like ours?"

Scapgate raised his hand to ask a question.

He is now both a cadre and the captain of an affiliated pirate group. This dual identity makes him unsure of his position.

La did not answer his question. Such cadre-level appointments still had to be made by Kaido.

"You can lead your pirate group to settle permanently on an island.

Or I can give you a core cadre position, but your members must be disbanded and incorporated into grassroots combat teams."

Unexpectedly, Kaido did not make direct arrangements, but gave the other party two choices.

Of course, for Skepgate, there was only one choice: he couldn't abandon his companions.

"I choose to be with my crew, Boss Kaido."

"Is it"

Kaido was not surprised by Skepgate's choice.

"Then you will be stationed on Hati Island from now on."

"Huh? Ha... Hati Island?"

It's no wonder that Skepgate was so surprised. Hati Island is one of the two most important sub-islands of Fenrir Island. It is a barrier protecting the main island and is an absolute core territory.

Moreover, Hati was his base before the beasts came, so this time he just went back to his hometown.

I originally thought that Kaido would definitely send someone like him, who was originally a hostile force and brought his men to join him, to some remote island with no one around...

[I didn't expect that Boss Kaido would trust us so much... Hey~ If only Big Brother had turned to him in the first place.]
Bad luck, no wise leader~

"Thank you, Boss Kaido! We, the Fore Pirates, are willing to follow the Beasts until our death and never betray them!"

Skepgate stood up and, imitating what Forle had done to John, clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Kaido.

"Okay, sit down."

Kaido grinned and looked around for a wine jug to drink from.

But then he remembered that he didn't bring it this time, so he could only look at her resentfully, and then smacked his lips helplessly.
