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

However, as soon as the hand was stretched out, there was a flash of a knife, and the hand was cut off at the wrist and fell to the ground.

"Ah!" A scream was heard. All the gangsters around stood up. Some drew their guns, some drew their knives, and looked at Ji Yuan vigilantly. This woman was very strong.

But no one took action first, the gangster crowd parted and Langji Beiai came out.

"Woman, I don't care what side you belong to, if you dare to take action in my territory, you may not be able to leave here today."

Ji Yuan glanced around, with contempt in her beautiful eyes.

"According to the Governor's order, you are to go to the 16th Navy Branch tomorrow at noon. The Governor wants to host a banquet for the five major gangs. Also, please do not be ungrateful."

"What?" The other gang members were frightened when they heard this. Your governor invited my boss to dinner, and you are not ungrateful. Who do you think you are?

However, Langji Beiai stretched out his hand to stop them. Although they were gangsters, their subordinates still obeyed the orders of their boss.

"Your governor?"

"Yes, the new governor of the West Sea, Xia Zheteng, the former brigadier general of the Navy Headquarters."

He has a good status, but his bad reputation is a bit of a headache.

Langji Beiai laughed and said, "Okay, tomorrow at noon, right?"

Ji Yuan ignored the other party and turned to leave. The gangsters behind him looked at their boss. If the boss gave the order now, they would pull out their guns and knives and go up to chop the woman.

However, the boss did not give any orders until the woman walked out of the tavern.

"Boss, are we going tomorrow?"

Langji Beiai gave a sinister smile: "Of course, I want to see what tricks this new governor will play."

Chapter 12: Such a cruel show of power

On the other side, Kaji went to Changzhiyao Town cursing, and the second place he went to was to meet the leader of the Flame Tank Gang, Capone Lostan.

The reason why he was cursing was naturally because there had been a conflict in Sel Town. Brown Checker from the Extreme Spear Gang did not give him a chance to finish his words and directly ordered to open fire.

Luckily, Kake was also on guard against the other party, so he escaped without any injury.

"I really don't know what he's doing? However, judging by his methods, it's probably another big plan."

The base of the Flame Tank Gang in Changzhiyao Town is a huge manor. When he arrived at the door, two armed gangsters stopped him.

"Inform your boss and tell him that the Deputy Governor of the 16th Marine Branch, Kaji, wants to see him. Our Governor has something to bring to him."

"Wait a moment." I have to say, this gangster's etiquette is much better than the previous one. One of them went into a small room next to it and contacted the inside through Den Den Mushi.

"Please." After a while, the door opened and a young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old came to greet Kaji.

He was not tall, wearing a top hat and a small suit, and holding a cigar in his mouth, looking very stylish.

As he led Kaji inside, he introduced himself: "My name is Capone Becky. Hello, Mr. Kaji, are you the new deputy governor?"

Kaji was speechless. What's that look in your eyes? How could a handsome guy like me not be the deputy governor?

I ignored it and soon entered the main building of the manor. There was a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, which was quite imposing.

After Becky brought Kaji to her father's reception room, she did not leave but wanted to listen to what they had to say.

"Mr. Kaji looks unfamiliar." Capone Lostan frowned. He had never seen this man before.

"Yes, I was just transferred. I used to be a commodore at the Navy Headquarters."

"Excuse me." Lostan was very polite, but there was a gleam in his eyes. To be able to become a gang boss, he is no pushover.

He gave Becky a look, and Becky nodded. Everything outside had been arranged. If the deputy governor was easy to talk to, it would be fine. But if he said something unpleasant, there would probably be a fight today.

"Don't be so alert. I'm here for only one thing. Our governor will host a banquet for the five major gang leaders at the 16th Navy Branch tomorrow at noon. I hope you will not be ungrateful."

Capone Lostan was stunned for a second, then burst into laughter.

"What if we don't appreciate it?"

"Then I will definitely go back and report today. As for how the Governor will deal with you, I don't know."

Lostan looked at Kaji, and Kaji was also staring at Lostan. The air around them seemed to be stirred up.

But soon, Lostan just laughed and said, "Okay, I will be there on time tomorrow at noon."

"You made a wise choice." Kaji also laughed.

"Becky, escort Mr. Kake out safely."

Becky answered yes, and soon, Kaji was sent out of the manor. Becky then quickly returned to Lostan's reception room.

"Father, will there be any trouble tomorrow at noon? Otherwise, bring more people with you?"

"We must bring people with us. You should come with me. Also, to prevent the new governor from joining forces with other gangs to attack us, notify everyone and prepare for it."

"Yes, I understand."

……

It was not until late at night that Kake and Gion returned to the naval branch.

The light in Xia Zheteng's office was on. When Ji Yuan and Kaji came back, they saw Xia Zheteng sleeping in his office chair.

Perhaps because he heard someone coming, Xia Zheteng's snot bubble burst.

"You guys are back. Judging from your expressions, the notification didn't go very smoothly."

"Tsk, after two fights, I think only Capone's gangster will come tomorrow." Kaji said helplessly.

"On my side, Langji Beiai is a possibility, but the remaining family is also in danger." Ji Yuan also reported his own situation.

"Two families, that's enough." Xia Zheteng said with a confident smile, "Next, let's look at the main meal tomorrow."

……

The next day at noon, the 16th Branch of the West Sea Navy.

When the governor invited people to dinner, they naturally could not go to the cafeteria, so a reception room was specially prepared, and the reception room was already clean and tidy.

At the entrance of the 16th branch, sixteen navy men stood straight. These were not ordinary soldiers, but were specially selected yesterday.

It was almost noon, and in the distance there was smoke and dust, and two teams of gangsters were coming towards here. Yes, they were cavalry, and each team seemed to have more than a hundred people.

When Langji Beiai and Capen Lostan met on the road, they glared at each other for a few seconds but did not fight in the end.

The relationship between their two families is not very good, but now there are more important things, so they temporarily put aside their hostility.

The gate of the naval branch was right in front of us. Sixteen sailors stood upright, carrying swords and guns, looking quite imposing.

There were three people standing at the door, Xia Zheteng, Ji Yuan and Jia Ji.

Ranji Baia and Capone Lostan immediately resigned. Gangs are not all about fighting and killing, they also need to know the ways of the world.

At this time, it is natural to say some nice words.

"Hahaha, forgive us for only just finding out that the Governor has come to Branch 16. Congratulations." Langji Beiai had only seen Ji Yuan, but that didn't stop him from seeing who the boss here was from his position.

"Yes, that's really rude." Capen Lostan also added.

The younger-looking commodore was actually the governor, which surprised both Langji Baiai and Capen Lostan.

I was wondering in my mind whether this young brigadier general was really capable or just here to gild his reputation.

If it were gold-plated, you wouldn't have to worry too much.

But if they really have the ability, it will be very troublesome. They have seen Jiyuan and Kake.

I also admire how calm these two were in the enemy camp.

A governor who has such people submit to him probably has bad intentions.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Xia Zheteng, who had kept his eyes slightly closed, finally opened his eyes, and then, his powerful domineering aura unfolded.

In an instant, Langji Baiai, Capone Lostan, and Capone Becky behind Lostan were all frightened and broke out in cold sweats.

This kind of power is too strong.

The two families brought more than 200 cavalrymen, both men and horses, who fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

Of the entire gang, only six people were left standing.

Behind Langji Beiai are two deputies, Capone Lostan, Capone Becky and another deputy.

The offensive and defensive situation is easy to defend. Now they only have six people, and there are sixteen navy men guarding the gate alone. Yes, these sixteen navy men were specially selected so that they can withstand Xia Zheteng's domineering color.

Ranji Baia and Capen Lostan felt that they had been deceived.

"Alright, the weak are not qualified to enter the base. Two leaders, follow me."

Under the current circumstances, Langji Baiai and Capen Lostan had no choice but to go in. They looked at each other and had to walk into the naval base, and were prepared to go in but not out.

Chapter 13 You don't want me to use the Demon Killing Order, do you?

In the reception room of the naval base, three people were sitting at a round table, and behind each of them stood two subordinates.

Various meat dishes have been placed on the table, the red wine has been opened, and a special waiter has poured wine for the three people who can sit at the table.

"You two, you made the right choice. Cheers."

Langji Beiai and Capen Lostan also picked up their wine glasses, but the wine they drank always had a bitter taste.

"Don't be so nervous. I don't want to take the opportunity to get rid of you. On the contrary, I called you here to seek cooperation." Xia Zheteng said with a smile.

Cooperation? Hearing this, Ranji Baiai and Capen Lostan's eyes lit up. This was good news. As long as the other party had a request, it would be fine.

Jiyuan and Kake frowned. No way, didn’t you just deal with Grata, and now you want to cooperate with the gang? Why does it sound so unreliable?

"But before we start working together, I need to know how you worked with Grata in the past?"

Langji Beiai and Capen Lostan looked at each other and nodded. Now that they were in the naval branch, they had to speak their mind.

It was actually very simple before. Towns and villages occupied by gangs did not pay taxes to the main imperial city, but civilians had to pay membership fees to the gangs.

The membership fee is divided into three parts, 40% goes to the main imperial city, 40% stays with the gangs, and 20% goes to the navy.

Actually, there was no navy before. The imperial city and the gangs split the profits 50-50. But one time, a gang broke the rules and did not hand over the money to the Gangili Alliance. They also had a fight with the imperial city guards.

As a result, the Imperial Guard was completely defeated, so the Gangili Alliance called in the navy.

Now that's good, both sides contributed 10% each and gave it to the navy.

Everything was originally peaceful, but Grata was not satisfied, which led to the previous conflict between the gangs and the navy.

Hearing this, Xia Zheteng nodded slightly. Now everything was settled and his plan could be realized.

"Very good. In that case, I wish us a pleasant cooperation. Cheers."

It’s a pleasure to work with you. You haven’t even told me the method of cooperation, so how can it be a pleasure?

Langji Baiai and Capen Lostan looked at each other again, and finally raised their glasses helplessly and drank another glass of bitter wine.

"From today on, you are the Navy's partners. Let me tell you what you are going to do next."

"First of all, starting today, the membership fees you collect will be reduced to 80% of the previous amount."

"This..." Langji Baiai and Capen Lostan took a breath. There was an 80% chance that they would have to pay money for this.

"Don't get me wrong, you won't lose money. The 20% that's less is the Navy's 20%. From today on, the Navy won't charge you anything."

If that was the case, the two families could still accept it, so they both nodded.

"Secondly, I will issue a notice to the whole island in the name of the Navy. From today on, you are a legal mafia organization, and the other three are illegal. Since they are illegal, they will be wanted. The gang leader will get 20 million berries, the deputy will get 10 million, and the other senior officials will get 5 million. However, the Navy will not pay this money. Kill them and bring their heads to me. I will send people to get the money from you, and you two will share it equally."

"This..." The two looked at each other again. This second point seemed to be wrong. You put a wanted warrant out and we have to spend money?

"Don't worry about the small things or the process. The Navy still has credibility after all. Besides, if someone can really kill the other three gang leaders, 60 million berries is not a high price."

The two gang leaders nodded to each other. What he said was true. If the other party was leaderless, then the price would indeed not be high.

They had offered bounties before, wanting to take the other party's life. The price was negotiable, but no one believed them. After all, the bounty offered by the gang was something you could earn but not spend.

But if it is the navy that comes forward, it will be different, at least the credibility is guaranteed.

"Report." At this time, a soldier came in and reported, "The cavalrymen have woken up and are clamoring for us to release them. What should we do?"

Xia Zheteng nodded. The time was just right, so he looked at Langji Beiai and Capen Lostan and said, "Send a deputy to take care of them and tell them not to mess around."

After saying this, he deliberately gave the two of them a look. Whether they could understand it or not depended on how smart they were.
