Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

This was an impromptu meeting, so not many people attended; they were mostly villagers from Cocoyasi Town.

Since I was the branch base chief in Luoge Town... or rather, the previous base chief.

He was recently promoted and given a raise, and then transferred to the Navy Headquarters.

As for whether he would be assigned to the Grand Line or the New World as a base commander, or stay at Marine Headquarters, Xia Che didn't know.

To be honest, he was still a little unaccustomed to Colonel Sean's transfer, after all, they had worked together quite well.

Unfortunately, just as they were preparing to expand and strengthen their presence in the East China Sea, their partner left. Xia Che already knew who the next branch leader of the Luoge Town base would be.

Navy genius Captain Smoker!

Putting aside what he learned from the anime, even just from the information he had at Marine Headquarters, Xia Che knew his senior quite well.

In any case, the secret cooperation with Loguetown will probably have to be put on hold for the time being.

That's right~

Xia Che.

He is a time traveler who is now a naval captain assigned to the Navy Headquarters.

Of course, he should now be called Navy Captain Dande Shacher. To be honest, when he first came to this world, he was completely bewildered, especially since he had become a Navy officer. Because he had offended a Celestial Dragon's bodyguard on his first mission, he was sent to the trial court, which made him want to curse even more.

Moreover, it should be noted that since the Eghardt incident, the Navy's justice has become a joke, the Garp family has become clowns, and the world has almost turned into a cesspool.

Even putting everything else aside, Whitebeard—Edward Newgate—who voluntarily sheltered impoverished island nations, didn't interfere with their lives, became a pirate, and anonymously donated to his hometown, to the point that even a pirate who was so poor he couldn't afford to drink could be considered one of the ten most touching figures on the sea.

It is more just than justice that is constantly shouting about justice, absolute justice, and justice that reigns supreme.

Perhaps many Marines within the Marine Headquarters are genuinely righteous and unaware of the World Government's corruption, and have been working hard to maintain peace on the seas.

But without a doubt, once the top is rotten, it doesn't matter what happens below.

Of course~

None of this has anything to do with Xia Che.

Finally, because the collision did not cause too serious consequences, under the protection of Professor Zefa, he was given the opportunity to be demoted and become the base commander of the 16th Branch of the East China Sea Navy.

Logically, he should have been sent down to the remote and impoverished 315 Base, but after Colonel Rat was dismissed for embezzlement and bribery, he became the commander of the 16th Naval Base on the recommendation of Colonel Sean.

As for the former 16th branch's Rat Colonel... he has become sustenance for Colonel Sean's promotion.

"...Nothing major has happened in Cocoa West Town recently, and the marmalade factory is operating at a stable pace. However, even with the factory ramping up production, it still can't meet customer demand for the time being." Mayor Nokiko of Cocoa West Town shook his head helplessly.

Logically, as a young person from the village, she had no chance of becoming the mayor of Cocoyasi Town. However, thanks to Colonel Shacher's recommendation, she secured the position. Although she didn't really care about being the mayor—as long as she could protect the orange grove left behind by Bellemere, that was enough for her—but…

Looking at Colonel Shacher in front of him, Nojiko was filled with gratitude and admiration.

He saved Cocoyasi Village, he saved her sister Nami, and he fulfilled Bellemere's wish, leading Cocoyasi Village to a prosperous life.

It can be said that he saved everyone and was the benefactor of Cocoa West Village.

Therefore, Nojiko would do her best to complete Colonel Shacher's missions.

She sighed and said, "Although everyone followed Colonel Shacher's advice and expanded orange cultivation recently, it's still impossible to increase production in the short term, and..."

With a tone that conveyed both pain and pleasure.

"Everyone has been working very hard during this time; however, not only the factory, but the entire town of Cocoaxi still needs people!"

The words fell.

Immediately, the others around the conference table nodded helplessly.

Although Cocoa West Village can already be called a town, as a newly established town, Cocoa West Town has not yet developed its infrastructure and population, and Xia Che understands this.

After listening to Mayor Nokigo's words, Xia Che nodded. He was quite satisfied with Mayor Nokigo's work.

After arriving in the East China Sea, he never intended to return to the Navy Headquarters.

It's just that having the title of naval captain makes things easier.

I don't want to be a navy officer, and I'm not interested in being a pirate, so... I might as well stay here and become a great warlord!

Unfortunately, this world is just too dangerous, especially after the Eigerard incident... The Five Elders even came up with a Tailed Beast Ball, it's terrifying to even think about!

It makes me feel really insecure!

Fortunately, as a time traveler, he also had a cheat code.

Xia Che looked at his cheat system.

A cheat system called the "Transmigrator Alliance Performance Settlement System".

That's right, he wasn't an ordinary time traveler; he was a legal, compliant time traveler with insurance.

Simply put, you are sent to various worlds to complete various targets and performance goals according to the company's requirements, such as rewriting the plot or promoting social development. If an accident occurs, you will receive a large amount of compensation. Anyway, it is a very formal company.

And just as everyone guessed, he initially considered simply committing insurance fraud to go home.

how...

I don't know if it's because there have been too many people committing insurance fraud lately, but to prevent it from happening again, the company's rules and regulations have been improved. Once someone is found to be committing insurance fraud, they will be severely punished.

After seeing the temporary worker's business trip handbook and the tragic examples of insurance fraud being uncovered, Xia Che severely criticized those unscrupulous insurance fraudsters, then righteously refused to go home after committing insurance fraud and began to devote himself to his work.

Only a weakling who transmigrates would think of defrauding insurance to go home!

Moreover, because there were too many insurance fraud cases, the authorities put forward a series of strict targets to prevent any loopholes from occurring again.

Only by meeting the targets and completing the work can one receive subsidies and compensation after death and become a formal employee.

And this became his golden touch.

Name: Xia Che

[Occupation: Level 4 Chief Clerk]

[Target number: 1500; Note: When the number of employees reaches 10000, the employee can be promoted to Level 3 Chief Clerk and receive one employee benefit.]

Each time you achieve a performance target, you earn a quota. Once you reach the target quota and leave this world, you can get a promotion and a raise.

And indicator points... you can earn indicator points by rewriting the plot, promoting social development, and so on!

In particular, changes in major events and figures can yield more indicator points.

For example, the Cocoa West Village incident... directly promoted him from a second-level staff member to a first-level staff member, and later, after leading the development of Cocoa West Village, he was successfully promoted to a fourth-level chief staff member.

If things continue to develop as they are now, a promotion and a raise are just around the corner, and reaching the pinnacle of time travel is only a matter of time.

He no longer cares about the small compensation he gets from the insurance fraud.

After a moment of contemplation, Xia Che looked up at the lady beside him who was elegantly taking notes.

Nicole Robin.

She wore a white shirt, a Western-style women's pencil skirt, and her long black hair was combed back into a simple bun. Every now and then, she would lightly adjust her fashionable and exquisite women's glasses, which she used for decoration.

This outfit gives her a refined, scholarly air, while also making her appear exceptionally shrewd and capable, perfectly befitting her role as a warlord's personal secretary.

He met Nico Robin even before the Cocoyasi Village incident; he met her when he came to the East Blue, and at his invitation, she became his secret assistant.

Of course, the two are just business partners.

Anyway, after inviting Nicole Robin, they immediately promoted him from a temporary worker to a full-time second-level staff member.

It's fair to say that Miss Robin was a significant achievement for him!

"Let's leave this to Old Mo!"

Old Mo, Moke.

He is the captain of the Moke Pirates, and there are many things that he is not comfortable doing, so he entrusts them to Old Moke.

Of course~

As his protégé, Lao Mo knew what he should and shouldn't do, so Lao Mo didn't need to worry about it.

Even if this world is a cesspool, Xia Che still has his own bottom line.

"Understood." Miss Robin gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, crossed her voluptuous legs, and nodded with an elegant smile. "I'll inform Old Mo later!"

As a partner, Ms. Robin is quite satisfactory. She knows what she should and shouldn't do, and she's very capable!

Seeing that things were mostly arranged, Xia Che turned around, looked at everyone, briefly summarized the meeting, and reiterated the development goals of the Konom Islands.

In short, it means... build high walls, store up plenty of grain, and delay declaring yourself king!

Develop secretly!

After receiving everyone's response, Xia Che nodded in satisfaction.

Everything is progressing steadily!

Just as they were about to announce the end of the meeting.

Sudden.

"It's over, it's over!"

Nami rushed in, her smiling face now filled with panic. Amidst everyone's confusion, she ran up to Xia Che, before Xia Che could even ask her anything.

She said, "The Navy Headquarters inspection team is here. News came from the branch that Xia Che, your embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds, and collusion with pirates have been exposed."

Chapter 3 Big Shots of the East China Sea

"Oh, is that so? I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

"You've been promoted to brigadier general? Congratulations, Colonel Sean, no, you should be called Brigadier General Sean now. Will you be transferred to the New World next? Congratulations, congratulations! I hope we can meet again in the New World, new colonel of Loguetown. I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Shache casually tossed the Den Den Mushi he had just hung up to Robin beside him, then frowned and fell into deep thought.

That phone call was to his business partner, Brigadier General Sean, the former commander of the Loguetown base.

Although Brigadier General Sean is not particularly strong, he is not rigid in his thinking and does not adhere to so-called absolute justice, but he is not an overly corrupt and greedy person either.

According to him, he was just an ordinary person with limited abilities, and all he needed to do was to protect his jurisdiction and the civilians within it.

He and Brigadier General Sean had worked together very well for many years, and to be honest, Xia Che was still a little sad to see Sean leave.

As for the so-called inspection team... according to the information given to him by Brigadier General Sean, it seems that he has been using the excuse of resisting a vicious pirate crew—the Moke Pirates—to demand military funds for several years, which has led his superiors to suspect that he is defrauding the military funds.

After all, the Navy Headquarters is well aware of the situation in the East China Sea.
