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

No matter how beautiful the scenery is on a journey, it will eventually come to an end.

According to the sailing route, they will reach the base in the North Sea in three hours.

Before long, the commander gave the signal, and an extremely large island gradually came into view.

"Prepare to land."

Unlike the lazy Raleigh, Gion and Kake were quite happy.

After all, this time they arrived at the Four Seas Naval Base as Four Seas Inspectors.

Previously, they would either travel or undergo training, and would quickly return to headquarters.

This is the first time he has held an important position, free from the constraints of those bigwigs at headquarters who care about them.

Young people always yearn for freedom and growth.

Raleigh was still lying on the sun chair, but now he had some of the latest intelligence about the North Sea in his hands.

"Hey, Raleigh, we're about to meet Lieutenant General Borsalino, aren't you going to tidy yourself up?"

He shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, he spoke to the wrong person.

If possible, Raleigh still prefers to return to his branch in the East China Sea, branch 133.

Why drag me into this when my good brother can shine in the navy?

"Hmm, you guys get ready, I'm not going to."

While lying down, Raleigh casually replied, as if to prove that he was still alive.

The warship slowly docked in the harbor, the anchor was lowered, and naval soldiers led by Gion Kakei slowly stepped off the docking deck.

Saltakava Island—Naval North Sea Branch Base.

This used to be one of the safest places because its former admiral was Sakazuki.

In Sakazuki's eyes, whether it's pirates, the mafia, human traffickers, or any other group, they are all criminals who disrupt peace.

Under his strong crackdown, the criminals on Saltakava Island were cleared out.

However, it was precisely because of Sakazuki's ruthless methods that Saltakava Island was originally a prosperous commercial island.

It has now become an economically depressed island, and many merchant ships and trading caravans are no longer willing to trade here.

Because where wealth flows, there will naturally be some dirty dealings, especially in a place like One Piece where the law is not very sound.

That's why the island looks somewhat desolate.

Of course, Gion and Kakei were unaware that they were still comparing this place to the Marine Headquarters.

Gion looked around at her surroundings before speaking:

"I recall reading in a report that Saltakava Island is one of the more well-known transportation hubs in the North Sea."

"While it can't compare to the Grand Line, it's still one of the top islands in the North Blue. But now it seems a bit overrated."

Raleigh sighed, then said:

"Because of Lieutenant General Sakazuki's iron-fisted policies, those speculators and profiteers no longer came here."

"Prosperous and bustling places are often targeted by criminals, becoming places where they make money and hide their filth."

"But Lieutenant General Sakazuki cleared out the Mafia, the underground forces, and the illegal trade. Without their involvement, many caravans no longer come to this island."

Gion was puzzled and asked:

"Why shouldn't things be more prosperous after getting rid of these scumbags?"

Raleigh smiled but didn't say anything more.

Cleveland firmly stated, "But I believe in the people's choice; it's better to live a poorer life than to lose your life at any moment."

"Brigadier General Raleigh, Major Gion, Major Kake, our mission is complete, so we won't accompany you inside. We still have a mission to complete."

After he finished speaking, all the navy personnel on the ship saluted Raleigh.

Raleigh also waved his hand very solemnly:

"Goodbye, brave soldiers. I hope that when we meet again, you will be working under my command."

Once the warship had left the port, Raleigh stepped forward and led his group into the city.

The streets are clean and tidy, with no excessive piles of garbage.

The stalls on both sides were relatively tidy and not messy.

Ancient buildings, dark cobblestone streets.

It undoubtedly reveals traces of the city's history.

Raleigh had no time to appreciate these things; he headed straight for the naval base in the city center.

The naval base here seems to mimic the layout of the Navy Headquarters.

The towering buildings, layer upon layer, are hidden behind the city walls. From the port, you can see the seagull flag flying high on the city walls and the two large characters for "naval".

Deeply engraved on the city wall, it appears solemn and dignified.

The ancient buildings are stacked in layers behind, and the two together.

It appears grand and majestic.

Raleigh and Gion Kakei, among others, did not react in any particular way, the former because they had seen skyscrapers hundreds of meters high and the Forbidden City.

The latter, having lived at the Navy Headquarters for many years, was accustomed to it.

Only Miles and Bello Betty, who came from the East Sea, looked around with great curiosity.

"Master, is this the Beihai branch base? It's enormous!"

Poor Miles, who grew up on Kyrenia Island, had never seen the outside world.

In his memory, the most luxurious building on the island was no more than three stories high.

Raleigh rubbed Miles's head and said:

"Miles, can't you be a little more mature? You're my first disciple. This kind of situation will happen often in your life from now on, so get used to it. I can't be with you forever."

"I'm...I'm sorry, Master."

Miles said nervously.

Jiaji patted Miles on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't take his words to heart, Miles. When that kid first came to Marine Headquarters from the North Blue, he was just as shocked as you are now."

Passing through the tall city walls, a huge training ground came into view.

The quality of naval soldiers in the North Sea is significantly higher than that in the East Sea.

I initially thought the Cleveland team would be the elite of the North Sea, but now it seems that's not necessarily the case.

At this time, many naval personnel were already conducting combat training on the training ground.

Miles compared the two and found that the North Sea soldiers' training didn't look like training at all; it was as if they were really on a life-or-death battlefield.

Everyone must exert their utmost strength to ensure that their opponent is defeated in one move.

"Just take a look. The North Sea is the most chaotic of the four seas, and at the same time, the North Sea is also the strongest in the four seas."

"If the navy here didn't have the determination to fight to the death, they would have died on some battlefield long ago."

Raleigh explained casually as he walked.

Gion and Kake would never have thought of something like this, since they are both geniuses whose paths are already laid out for them.

"Are they Brigadier General Raleigh, transferred from the 133rd Branch of the East China Sea, and Major Gion and Major Kake, the patrol officers of the Four Seas?"

Just as Raleigh and his group were looking around, a sexy female secretary dressed in professional attire and exuding confidence appeared in front of them.

He asked respectfully:

"If so, please follow me. Lieutenant General Borsalino has been waiting for a long time."
