Pirates: Improving your strength depends entirely on watching the fun!

However, since Kake could become a candidate for admiral of the navy later, he was certainly not a mediocre person. He had some skills and was not the kind of person who would lose his mind.

Seeing Xia Zheteng so confident, Jiaji narrowed his eyes and kept looking for the opponent's weaknesses.

It wasn't until Xia Zheteng yawned that Jiaji's eyes lit up and shaved.

With a flash of his body, Kaji quickly came to Xia Zheteng's left side and punched towards Xia Zheteng.

Xia Zheteng opened his observation Haki and easily captured Kaji's strength, speed, and attack direction.

He stretched out his hand and his punch landed in Xia Zheteng's palm.

Oh no! Kaji stepped back suddenly, trying to shake off Xia Zheteng, but it was too late.

Xia Zheteng's fist kept growing bigger before his eyes.

Bang! Kaji flew backwards, hit a lonely small tree, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Additional plan."

Although she didn't like Kaji's proposal, Jiyuan and Kaji had been colleagues for a long time, so she rushed over quickly.

She had also witnessed Xia Zheteng's strength. He was indeed stronger than them, so it was normal for Jiaji to be beaten.

I just hope Xia Zheteng will show mercy and not hurt anything.

Fortunately, when they rushed over, they saw that Kaji had turned over and sat up. He was not seriously injured, but one of his eyes was swollen, and his eyes were already narrowed, so he could see even more difficultly.

"Puchi" Jiyuan, who originally didn't care about Kaji, laughed out loud.

"I'm sorry." Jiyuan apologized to Kake.

"Okay, let's get on the boat quickly, no time wasted." At the seaside, Xia Zheteng had already used the Moon Step to fly up and flew towards the warship.

"Yes!" Ji Yuan responded seriously.

"Yes~" Kaji was also helpless, but through that punch, he was sure that he was no match for Xia Zheteng. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Just follow him.

The three warships then left the deserted island and continued to move towards the West Sea.

……

A few days later, the tranquility of the sea was broken by warships. Three naval warships had left the Grand Line and arrived on the West Sea.

The pirates from the West Sea saw this from afar, and when they found out that the other side had three warships, they simply took a detour. They didn't want to get into bad luck.

Yerigan Island, the 16th Navy Branch, is at the forefront of the battle between the West Sea gangs.

There were a few people standing at the entrance of the 16th branch to greet them, led by the former commander of the 16th branch, Colonel Grata.

A man who looked even more vulgar than Kake.

How should I put it, Kaji’s problem is just his looks, but the guy opposite, you can tell from his eyes that he has evil intentions.

"Welcome Brigadier General Xia Zheteng, Brigadier General Ji Yuan, and Brigadier General Kaji. I have received a notice from above and am waiting here specially."

Grata came forward with a fawning look on his face, bending over, looking like a servant meeting his master.

Xia Zheteng just glanced at him and then walked into branch 16.

There were several teams of soldiers training in the branch, and their shouts were deafening, but the place seemed a bit empty. How could there be so few people in such a large space?

"I heard that branch 16 was involved in a gang fight." Xia Zheteng asked as he looked around.

"Yes, the gangs here are too rampant. In the last battle, under my leadership, we finally repelled the enemy, but we also suffered heavy casualties." Grata, who was following behind, said indignantly.

"Under your leadership?"

"Yes, I fought bravely and killed countless enemies before I led my men out of the encirclement. Otherwise, I'm afraid there wouldn't be 16 branches now."

As he spoke, Grata even straightened his chest deliberately.

Xia Zheteng's mouth curled up. Xia Zheteng was 16 years old, very young in this world, but Xia Zheteng had not only lived in this world.

In another world, one can only say that individual power is not as strong as in this world, but the intrigues, political schemes and tactics have reached their peak.

With Grata's performance, does he really think he can fool himself?

But it's better this way. If Colonel Grata admits his mistakes and tells everything, it will be difficult for him to manage him.

After all, it takes time to win over the hearts of the people and to intimidate the navies of these branches.

Since someone has brought it to your doorstep, you might as well take advantage of it.

"Colonel Grata, huh?"

"Yes, yes, it is you."

"Okay, you will organize the situation of the area you are responsible for, including the general situation of the island, the distribution of towns, and the distribution of forces. Report to my office in half an hour. By the way, the same goes for the rest of you here. Organize the content of your reports and gather in front of my office in half an hour. Do you understand?"

"Yes, but I still have to take you to the office, this..." said Grata.

"Just send someone to take me there, and you guys go and sort out the information."

"Yes." The officers who came to greet them responded, and then went down to prepare.

Grata winked at a soldier following behind and asked him to take Xia Zheteng to the office.

Xia Zheteng watched them leave, a faint light flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 9: Means and a Familiar Name

In Branch 16, Xia Zheteng’s office is very large and tidy.

After entering the office, Xia Zheteng asked the soldier who led the way to leave, and directly used his observation Haki and the ability to listen to the sounds of all things.

Sure enough, several subtle sounds reached his ears.

Using a micro-Den Den Mushi to monitor? Xia Zheteng sneered. This guy Grata is not honest.

"Kaji, let's go to the bathroom and smoke a cigarette."

"Isn't it okay to smoke here?" Kaji looked at Xia Zheteng strangely.

Xia Zheteng raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that so? Then, Jiyuan, do you want to go to the toilet together and take a sip..."

"Fuck, I'll go with you." Kaji was speechless. "How can a man invite a woman to smoke in the toilet?"

Xia Zheteng just shrugged: "I am surprised by what I have seen so far."

After all, this kind of thing was very common in the previous world.

Some women even ask what the round balls in the urinals in men's restrooms are used for, haha.

"Jiyuan, sit down and feel free. This will be our territory from now on, so relax." After greeting Jiyuan, Xia Zheteng left with Jiaji.

Ji Yuan frowned as she watched the two leave. She had no idea what Xia Zheteng meant.

After entering the bathroom, Xia Zheteng used his Observation Haki and the ability to listen to all things to feel relieved. There was no monitoring equipment here, and there was no one else around. This was great.

Light a cigarette and add water.

"In half an hour, go and do something." Xia Zheteng said while smoking.

"Why should I do it?" Jiaji rolled his eyes at Xia Zheteng, he really knew how to take advantage of people.

"Because Jiyuan can't go to the bathroom with me, is this reason enough? Otherwise, should I invite Jiyuan again?"

"Why not talk about it in the office?"

Xia Zheteng didn't say anything, but Jiaji was not a fool. He reacted quickly and took a breath. It was that Grata.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"In half an hour, all officers will report to my office. I will let Ji Yuan take over the branch team and control the entire branch at that time. Your mission is to find the nearest village or town and focus on finding out what happened between the navy and the gang some time ago, including Grata. You may even meet a navy who left the branch. Remember, don't wear a navy uniform. With your image, it won't be a problem if you dress up as a gangster or an intelligence dealer."

"What's wrong with my image? I'm very handsome, okay?" Jiaji didn't recognize himself at all, but this was not within Xia Zheteng's consideration. It didn't matter if he was not clear about his appearance, as long as he could do his job.

So Xia Zheteng looked at Jiaji very seriously and said, "Remember, the results of your investigation will affect the future trend of the entire 16th branch. You are not allowed to make any mistakes. Also, if you meet the navy from the original branch, you must bring them here."

Kaji calmed down, then said confidently: "Leave it to me, I will ensure that the task is completed."

The two of them packed up and returned to the office.

Xia Zheteng sat behind his desk, casually put his legs on the desk, and began to give orders.

"Jion, when Grata and the others come to report later, I want you and Kaji to quickly control the entire 16th branch. All the navy must be in our hands. The people we bring will be mixed in with the original 16th branch team. Is there any problem?"

"No problem." Ji Yuan stood up and responded.

"Very good. After all, this will be my 16th branch from now on. There cannot be two voices. My voice is the only one here."

"So, what about Colonel Grata and the others?"

"I will temporarily have them work in unoccupied departments such as logistics, and report to the higher-ups to have them return to the headquarters or be transferred to other branches."

"Yes, I understand." Ji Yuan saluted.

The sound here soon spread to another room.

Grata turned off the eavesdropping Den Den Mushi, turned around to look at the officers still gathered here, and said, "He's an ambitious guy, but it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't touch us."

"Colonel Grata is so wise." Several officers flattered him casually.

Grata also nodded, and accepted the flattery very naturally, and flattered it very well.

"Okay, let's go back and prepare the report. Remember, don't be exaggerated, and don't downplay it. There will be some small loopholes. Let our brigadier general seize these small loopholes and punish us. Don't let him have nothing to do."

"Don't worry, boss. We understand." The officers left laughing and didn't take Xia Zheteng seriously at all.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Grata brought all the officers of the base to the outside of Xia Zheteng's office and shouted report.

"come in."

When everyone entered, Xia Zheteng was already sitting behind the desk, looking very dignified.

"Please take a seat, Brigadier General Jiyuan, Brigadier General Kake, and go about your business."

"Yes." The two of them planned to leave.

"Wait, part of my report is also reported to the deputy governor. Well, isn't it a bad idea for the two deputy governors to leave?" Grata called out to Jiyuan and Kake.

Xia Zheteng glared at Grata with anger in his eyes.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I'll just report to the Governor, and the two Deputy Governors, please take care."

Seeing that Xia Zheteng was angry, Grata immediately changed the subject, smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

The young governor only has his eyes on that tiny bit of profit, which is not bad. It is best to fool such a person.

As Grata thought to himself, a sinister smile appeared on his face, but he immediately retracted it. When he turned to look at Xia Zheteng, it had turned into a seductive smile.

"Mr. Governor, what report would you like to hear first?"

Yeligan Island is one of several huge islands in the West Sea. This island is under the jurisdiction of the Gangili Alliance.

However, the management of the Gangili Alliance was very chaotic. For the sake of Tianshangjin and their own interests, they continuously increased taxes on civilians. But even so, the country was very poor. It was so poor that it had an army of less than a thousand people and could only guard its main imperial city.

Outside the main imperial city, there are fifteen towns and more than fifty villages. These towns are not under the jurisdiction of the main imperial city, but are managed by gangs.

This led to the emergence of five famous gangs in these fifteen towns.

In the town of Malaga, the leader of the Chariots of Fire gang is Ranji Baia.

The leader of the Extreme Spear Gang in Sel Town is Brown Checker.

The leader of the Flame Tank Gang in Changzhiyao Town is Capone Lostan.

The leader of the Black Wind Cavalry Gang in Juma Town is Zeus Getas.

The leader of the Flame Wind Gang in Guiwen Town is Mark Debbie.

These five major gangs are constantly in conflict, and even the Gangili Alliance can't do anything about them.

In order to hold on to the last bit of territory, the Gangili Alliance asked the World Government for protection.

The 16th branch came to this island precisely for this reason.

Xia Zheteng nodded. The situation was not good. However, he seemed to hear a familiar yet unfamiliar name.

Chapter 10 Three things to do when a new official takes office

The reporting work lasted for four hours and no one left the room. In addition to Grata's summary report, his officers also reported on their respective work.

For example, who is in contact with other branches, or several forces targeting the five major gangs.
