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

Chapter 109 GCMG
"Did you hear that?"

"That kid Taolong was jumping and dancing in the street yesterday, crying and laughing like a madman."

At this time, Burfat also squeezed into the small room next to the warehouse, and was lying on Jhin's position, fiddling with a small token.

The token was of the same style as Taolong's, but it had complete double-sided feathers, and what was engraved on it was not a number but Burfat's own name.

This is a military token exclusively for core cadres, and it has the authority to mobilize all troops stationed on the island.

"La, aren't you being a little too formal?"

"If I were to send someone to give a verbal notification, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

"I've heard from many people down there that because of this incident, we at Hundred Beasts are being pointed at and criticized even when we walk down the street."

Hearing Burfat's complaints, La, who was sitting opposite him, didn't even look up. He was still carving something on a piece of wood with the carving knife in his hand...

"Wouldn't it be better to be more formal?"

"If you just let them know verbally, as you said, they'll probably just treat this appointment as a regular personnel transfer."

"This is an opportunity to make them pay attention to this internal reform."

Putting down the carving knife, La blew gently to blow away the wood chips.

"Besides, life always has to have some sense of ritual, doesn't it?"

"Give."

"Thank you, Sister La."

La handed the wooden sculpture in his hand to Osi, who happily took it. It turned out to be a small sky dragon figurine.

"Huh? What is this?"

"Is it the totem your hometown believes in?"

Burfat also liked this exquisite little gadget very much.

"this is me."

"?"

……

That’s right, the appointment of mid-level cadres this time was formally planned entirely by La.

She wrote the letters of authorization one by one by hand and went to Kaido to sign them. She used her own divine power to cast the token, and even carved the box containing these two things bit by bit by her.

The reason why it has to be so formal is actually to make the backbone of the beasts pay thorough attention to this internal reform.

After all, this is an important step for the Beasts to transform from a disordered violent organization to an orderly armed force, and it is the cornerstone for the Beasts to soar into the sky in the future.

Moreover, this unprecedented sense of ritual also helps to enhance the sense of belonging and cohesion of these backbone members of the Beasts.

The above is her reason for convincing Kaido...

The real reason was that she suddenly became interested in wood carving, and seizing the opportunity to fulfill this sudden desire was her top priority.

So after Kaido nodded, she rushed to the oldest woodworking workshop in town and spent some Baileys to ask the most experienced master in the workshop for a spot to watch.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the master craftsman in his seventies and a group of apprentices, La completed the process of mastering this craft from entry level to mastery in just one afternoon, and by the way, he also brought his painting skills to the maximum level.

I heard that the master dismissed all his apprentices and stayed alone with the portrait of his ancestor for a whole night.

No one knew what he talked about with the master that night, but the next morning he announced that he would make an exception and recruit female disciples.

……

So in fact, those boxes are the objects that La really put a lot of thought into, and the rest are just casual accompaniments.

It's a real-life version of buying the casket and returning the pearl.

Of course, if it was just a wood carving, La could have carved his own and it wouldn't have to be linked to this commission.

Her other goal was to use this job transfer to completely remove herself from the trivialities of the pirate group. She had already wasted too much time on such boring things. After burning all the sawdust on the table, La picked up another piece of wood and began carving again under Oubey's gaze while casually chatting:
"By the way, how's the establishment of your direct forces going? Have you chosen the department you'll be in charge of?"

This was proposed by Kaido at the time. Core cadres could not only establish their own armed guards like affiliated pirate groups, but also had to command some special departments.

For example, Jhin chose the logistics department, which is responsible for collecting taxes and allocating supplies on various islands.

At the same time, he also served in the prison department, responsible for torturing some spies or traitors, which seemed to be his own request.

This guy Jhin seems to have a special liking for things involving punishment and torture.

Oubei chose the Technology Research and Development Department, which was established on the basis of the original weapons repair department and has many experienced craftsmen.

However, due to funding and technical issues, the department does not yet have the ability to develop and produce new weapons.

As for Osi, she originally wanted to be in charge of the "Food, Drink and Fun Club", but was knocked down by Kaido and thrown into the Inspection Department.

Her ability to detect lies by directly observing the soul is well suited to this.

"Um...are there any departments that are not under the charge now?"

Burfat scratched his head. He was really not good at this.

"Currently, there are combat departments, medical departments, education departments, and diplomatic departments..."

"Stop, stop! Why are there still so many vacancies in various departments? Do we have enough manpower?"

Hearing La naming a series of incomprehensible departments like the names of dishes, the fishman's mind was a little confused.

"We are indeed short of staff at the moment, so some departments are just temporarily registered and will be filled with members later."

"so……"

"So pick a few that you like first. You don't really need to handle these things anyway. You're just a core cadre."

"That's it~"

Burfat always felt that the other party seemed to have said something extraordinary.

"Then I'll choose the combat unit. It's the only one I'm good at anyway."

"Yeah. I understand."

La nodded and handed the carved Giant God Soldier to Ober.

"Then you can draw lots for the remaining departments that have no candidates." She clapped her hands and stood up to leave.

"Ah? We still need to draw lots? By the way, where is the department you are in charge of?"

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Burfat asked quickly.

“I don’t have a department to be in charge of.”

La turned to Burfat and said:

"My job is simply to appropriately coordinate the potentially diverging priorities between departments within the framework of the pirate group's new system, ensuring that the captain's orders fully consider practical feasibility and maintain a reasonable degree of continuity with the demands of the core cadres. At the same time, I provide the captain with decision-making recommendations that conform to professional standards. Of course, these recommendations must be carefully considered by the consultation mechanism among all departments and always adhere to the principle of prioritizing the interests of all beasts."

"what?"

"This, that, this..."

"Pull you to say it again."

Now the Burfat completely froze. Countless words he had never heard before were stuffed into his brain, making it impossible for him to organize his words for a while.

Infinite Space, you are so powerful!
"Big sister means that she will be Captain Kaido's permanent secretary from now on. Remember to add 'Sir' when you call her from now on."

Ouba explained as he fiddled with the Giant God Soldier figurine in his hand.

"Or you can call me 'GCMG'"

La, who had already walked to the door, left this sentence, closed the door and left.
