Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

After a brief introduction of Kuina, amidst enthusiastic applause, Kuina stood up and expressed her determination to diligently teach swordsmanship to the 16th Marine Branch and contribute to the branch's development. Then…

"A brief message came from Naval Headquarters this morning."

Miss Robin, who was standing to the side, immediately opened her notebook. As his secretary, she had already compiled and recorded all the tasks that needed to be arranged for the day in her notebook.

She pushed up her decorative flat glasses and said with a strange look, "The military funds I applied for the day before yesterday will be allocated by the Navy Headquarters as soon as possible, and the Navy Headquarters has even specially increased the military funds by 10%."

The words fell.

Apart from Kuina, who was new to the event and didn't understand, and Shache, who was frowning, everyone around the conference table was stunned for a moment, and then everyone cheered.

"Not only that fast, but it also increased by 10%?"

"That's incredibly generous!"

"Not only were they generous, but this time they didn't even drag their feet and released the funds so quickly. It's simply unbelievable."

Everyone was very excited, especially Nami, who had been worried about not having enough money not long ago; her eyes lit up.

She even felt a special gratitude in her heart for the navy who used to be the only ones she scolded.

however.

"Quiet," Xia Che snapped, silencing everyone before turning to Robin. "Does Marine Headquarters have any requests?"

“Yes, there is!” Robin nodded, his expression still somewhat strange.

Before the group could even ask, Robin said directly, "The Marine Headquarters wants us to stop, or even arrest, the Moke Pirates. We absolutely cannot let the Moke Pirates enter the Grand Line."

The voice just fell.

"..."

Everyone fell silent, their faces displaying strange expressions.

As the management of the 16th branch, they certainly knew about the Mok Pirates' situation.

Is the Navy Headquarters really planning to give them money this time?!

"Cough cough cough~" Xia Che coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back. He looked at Robin with the same strange expression, and then said righteously, "We will send someone to report to the Marine Headquarters later. The 16th Branch will definitely do everything in its power to stop and prevent the Moke Pirates. We will absolutely not let this vicious pirate crew enter the Grand Line."

He doesn't intend to let the Moke Pirates enter the Grand Line right now. Wouldn't it be better to develop honestly in the East Blue and occasionally sneak off to the Grand Line to recruit talent?

What are the benefits of hiding and running away along the Grand Line?

If the Moke Pirates were to go, how would the Navy's 16th Branch apply for funding?

"Understood." Robin smiled slightly.

Hearing that the World Government had been tricked by them, she, who had been wanted by the World Government since childhood, was quite pleased.

Next…

The expansion of the Konomi Islands.

During this period, the Konom Islands have been arranging for people to cut down trees in preparation for expanding the town and uniting all the villages.

Now that more and more refugees are being recruited, it's almost time to begin.

At the same time, there was also the expansion and training of the 16th Naval Division...

Although the Navy Headquarters has regulations regarding the number of personnel and warships in each naval branch, and the Navy Headquarters will not recognize or provide military pay or subsidies for any personnel or warships exceeding these limits, sorry... the 16th branch simply doesn't follow the regulations.

Therefore, they need to come up with this part of the funding themselves.

As for training materials, Xia Che plans to directly use the Navy Six Styles taught by the Navy Headquarters as the teaching materials. As a systematic teaching material, the Navy Six Styles are quite useful. He can just add some materials later.

Also...

The breath of water.

It comes from one of the five basic breathing techniques of a certain demon-slaying squad, and it was a perk he received when he became a full-time employee.

Although the Water Breathing technique, aside from being unique, wasn't particularly powerful for this ocean, it was enough for him at the time to dominate this weakest sea.

If the power of the ocean is added to it, it has a very promising future.

only.

I don't know if it's because of the different levels of power, but apart from him learning it through employee benefits, it seems quite difficult for others to learn it.

Over the years, only Kuina has managed to get a tiny bit of a foothold in the game, and therefore, it won't be easy for Zoro to defeat her.

Perhaps it needs some revision?

Please follow the guidelines here.

Xia Che looked at his [Onboarding Performance Report]...

Name: Xia Che

[Occupation: Level 4 Chief Clerk]

[Target number: 5500; Note: When the number of employees reaches 10000, the employee can be promoted to Level 3 Chief Clerk and receive one employee benefit.]

After the inspection team left, the target number jumped from 1500 to 5500, meaning he was close to another promotion.

But why did it rise so much?

Could it be because there were still new refugees arriving at the time? But how much could such a small number of refugees increase?

One hundred or two hundred?

So why did it rise so much this time? It's almost as good as the sales figures from recruiting Robin and fighting the dragon.

Is it possible...

Whose fate have I unknowingly changed?

Garp?

Smoker?

Or perhaps Tashigi?

Xia Che, unable to figure it out, stopped thinking about it.

Finally, after setting his next development goals, which he summarized as: "Build high walls, store up grain, and delay declaring yourself king," he announced the end of the meeting.

Apart from Robin, Nami, and Kuina, Udo and the others left their positions to prepare for the next task.

Robin stayed by his side the whole time and wouldn't leave unless there was something urgent. Kuina still had things to ask him. As for Nami...

"No money!"

As Robin recounted each story, Nami's face grew increasingly dark with each mention of projects that required a large sum of money.

There were too many people earlier, so I couldn't say it out loud, but now...

"Don't you already know the current situation?" Nami showed no mercy to Shache, walking directly up to him and covering her head as she said, "Please, the Marine Headquarters added a layer for us, not increased it tenfold. Where are we going to get so much money?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Nami~"

"Don't think I'll fall for it again, it's no use now." Although she said that, Nami's anger subsided a little after hearing Xia Che's comforting words.

With her arms crossed, the graceful figure unique to the sea was immediately displayed before Xia Che's eyes, but she still said angrily, "Unless you take me to dig for gold, don't even think about it, I can't make any money."

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

"Gold mine?"

“It’s not time to use the reserves yet.” Xia Che waved his hand, signaling Nami, whose eyes were shining, to lower her gaze, and directly took out the new bounty he had received that morning. “It’s time for Mok to take action.”

Above it was Mo Kexin's bounty order, worth fifty million.

“Mok?” Nami glanced at Mok’s bounty poster, frowned, and said, “You’re not planning to sell Mok, are you? Fifty million isn’t enough!”

"..."

What is this girl thinking?

Shache looked annoyed, then ignored Nami and turned to Robin beside him, saying, "Tell Moke we can move out now."

……

Haiyuan calendar year 1517.

A new hegemon has been born in the East China Sea.

A new bounty worth fifty million instantly spread throughout the entire East China Sea. Apart from a certain old man in a village who was slapping his thigh and laughing heartily, everyone in the East China Sea who received this bounty was shocked.

You must know that this is the weakest sea – the East China Sea!

What does 50 million mean to a group of ignorant pirates in the East Blue?

That's practically like the Pirate King is about to appear again!

It can be said that the entire East China Sea was shaken.

Keep in mind that Admiral Krieg, the nominal ruler of the East Blue and captain of the Krieg Pirates, only has a bounty of 1700 million Berries, while the Moke Pirates... they haven't even left the East Blue and entered the Grand Line yet!

As a result, it's now almost three times as much!

If they were to enter the Grand Line... it's simply unimaginable.

What heinous things did the Moke Pirates do to warrant such a high bounty from the Navy before even entering the Grand Line?

Countless pirate crews are curious, and countless pirates admire this rising star of the East Blue, eager to witness the prowess of this new overlord of the East Blue.

Not long after that.

Just as everyone was shocked, curious, and full of anticipation.

Sudden.

The new overlord of the East Blue has issued a pirate invitation to the waters near the first half of the East Blue, summoning pirates from the surrounding waters to declare war on the 16th Marine Division, preparing to massacre the 16th Marine Division and proclaim his status as the new overlord of the East Blue to the entire East Blue.

For a while.

The entire East Blue pirate community was in an uproar.
