Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

One week after Raleigh took real power.

Gion finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Raleigh, are we here for a vacation or on business?"

Gion pushed open the office door, somewhat annoyed.

After Raleigh dealt with Zachley, he didn't leave his house for a whole week.

He spends all his time in the office reading about the kingdom's history, and never suggests going out to check on things.

Gion originally thought that Raleigh was just joking when he said he was coming on vacation, but she didn't expect that he was really going on vacation.

"Oh, it's your Ang Chi Yuan. Come, have some tea. This is a new black tea from the South China Sea."

Raleigh pushed a steaming cup of tea toward Gion.

"Weren't we here to investigate the uprising?"

Gion said angrily, but still accepted the black tea that Raleigh handed her.

Raleigh explained in a very serious tone:

"The World Government has been investigating for so long and hasn't found anything. How could we possibly find it so easily when we've just arrived?"

History has shown that the truth about some things is often hidden in the past.

Luo Li waved the book in his hand.

"This is a list of all the uprisings in the Kingdom of Eryokabu. The most detailed record is of the largest uprising in the Kingdom of Eryokabu ten years ago, because our navy intervened in that battle."

"Although this combat report was not submitted to headquarters, it is still in this base, so we have actually taken the lead."

As Gion listened to Raleigh's words, she had a sudden inspiration, but it vanished in the blink of an eye.

"What...did you find in there?"

After taking a sip of hot tea, Raleigh said:

"The uprising ten years ago swept through almost the entire Kingdom of Eryokabu, but here comes the most interesting part."

"After the battle, the leaders of the great uprising in the Kingdom of Eryokabu disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead. The navy responsible for recording the results of the battle used words that seemed to indicate that they were dead."

"The navy used more than a hundred cannons to bombard the last position of the rebels. Half a day later, the position was lost and the ground was littered with mutilated corpses. Only one body that looked very much like that of the leader was found."

Gion took the documents from Raleigh's hand and began to carefully read through them.

He nodded as he looked at the document, seemingly agreeing with Raleigh's statement.

However, Gion soon became puzzled again.

"Since we can see this from the document, why is the World Government unaware of it?"

Raleigh then took out another report from his desk and gestured for Gion to take a look.

Gion didn't understand, so she took it and started looking at it.

After watching for a while, Gion asked, somewhat confused:

"Isn't this exactly the same as the one from before?"

"Let's continue to Gion."

After hearing what Raleigh said, Gion continued to look inside.

The following text is mostly the same as the naval report above, except for the last line about the rebel leader.

This record states that the rebel leader has been killed and the World Government and Navy have won a great victory.

"This is?"

Gion couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Raleigh rubbed his forehead and said helplessly:

"Those idiots in the World Government chose to conceal the fact that the rebel leader had disappeared in order to exaggerate the results of the war, and instead used that corpse as the leader himself."

"I called Borsalino and asked him a few questions. The government officials who did this back then have long been promoted to Maryjoia."

It's not that the members of the CP organization are useless; they never expected that their own people would betray them.

Ten years have passed, and everyone who survived has been promoted several ranks and has long forgotten about the incident.

"So, the CP members' investigation direction was flawed from the very beginning."

"If we're going to investigate, we should start by asking people who participated in the uprising ten years ago. After all, many people weren't executed during the big uprising; instead, they were thrown into the mines to do even more hard work."

Raleigh was already confident; he planned to look for clues from several veteran rebels.

If there really is such a leader, then he's the one who's to blame.

Without a leader, Raleigh would have to create a scapegoat.

"What should we do then? Should we go ask some of the elderly people?"

Gion asked, somewhat dazed.

A few black lines flashed through Raleigh's mind.

Sigh, you still have to rely on yourself for everything.

"You stay here and train hard at the base. I'll take Cleveland to the city to gather some information."

After speaking, Raleigh got up, took out a set of casual clothes from the closet, and changed into the conspicuous navy uniform.

He didn't want to be targeted as soon as he entered the city.

"Messenger, tell Cleveland to change into civilian clothes and wait for me at the base naval port."

As Raleigh changed his clothes, he shouted to the messenger outside.

"yes!"

Gion, seeing Raleigh changing his clothes, walked over as if possessed and straightened Raleigh's collar from behind.

"Hmm? Gion?"

Feeling the fragrance emanating from his neck, Raleigh knew that Gion was standing behind him.

"Raleigh, if this is the leader from ten years ago, then he must be very strong. Be careful."

Gion earnestly gave her instructions.

Raleigh turned around and looked at the girl's beautiful face.

He grabbed Gion's small hand and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't worry, no one in this world can kill me."

Almost every man will make a boast to his woman that he is incapable.

Although Raleigh didn't know the specifics of the Kingdom of Eryokabu, he was confident in his strength to dominate the kingdom.

Even if he encounters a powerful enemy he cannot resist, he can still escape from it.

Gion struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free and went with Raleigh.

"Sir, Colonel Cleveland has made all the arrangements and is ready to depart at any time."

An untimely remark interrupted Raleigh's next move.

Raleigh had no choice but to release the beauty in his arms and say:

"Then I'll be going now. Train hard at the base and wait for me to come back."

Although Gion blushed, she still gave Raleigh some instructions:

"I will train hard, but you must promise me you'll come back. Remember to call me if there's any danger, and don't go it alone."

After bidding farewell to Gion, Raleigh quickly headed to the naval port.

On the warship, Raleigh saw Cleveland, who was now dressed in civilian clothes.

"Cleveland."

"arrive!"

Cleveland gave a conditional reply, and Raleigh's eyebrows twitched.

"You better not make this mistake again. We're supposed to be infiltrating, but if you keep doing this, no one will be able to tell we're from the Navy."

"Imitate how I usually act."

Cleveland thought about Raleigh's appearance for a moment, then sat down on the deck, slumped over as if he had no bones.

Raleigh's eyebrows twitched again.

Wow, so that's how you see me.

You just wait, kid. I'll show you what I'm made of.

With mixed feelings, Raleigh and Cleveland embarked on their journey to the Kingdom of Eryokabu.
