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

Beihai is a very vast sea area.

Islands are scattered throughout this sea area.

There are large islands that can accommodate millions of people, and small islands that can only accommodate a few thousand.

Some small islands with only one or two villages and a few hundred people are not included in this count.

On almost every island with a population of over 10,000, various mafia families are densely marked.

And the sphere of influence of pirate crews and criminals.

Sakazuki did take some strong measures during his tenure, but the results were largely insignificant.

Because the people of Beihai are naturally accustomed to violence and conflict.

Even if existing mafia families and underground forces are wiped out, new waves of underworld power will emerge again in a short period of time.

This is almost an incurable disease.

A curse unique to the North Sea.

Although the navy is powerful, it is a military force under the World Government.

They only have law enforcement power, but no administrative or troop deployment rights. This is the shackle that the world government has placed on the navy.

No matter how many underworld forces the navy destroyed, those without the right to station troops could only return to their bases.

Then history repeats itself, and the Mafia reappears, vying for territory once again.

People's lives are threatened, and the navy is deployed to crack down on organized crime.

Borsalino, Gion, and Kakei now face this problem.

"In my opinion, since Sakazuki's iron-fisted policies are ineffective, it would be better to try a laissez-faire approach and let the people of Beihai regulate themselves."

Borsalino was the first to voice his opinion.

"No!"

Gion objected outright, her unusually angry expression making her forget the difference in rank between her and Borsalino.

However, Borsalino is not Sakazuki; he doesn't care about these small details of his subordinates.

"The people are suffering greatly from the persecution of the mafia and pirates. If we do nothing, where does the Navy's justice stand?"

"In my opinion, we should follow the example of Vice Admiral Sakazuki during his tenure and resolutely crack down on pirates and mafia families, making them live in fear."

"This is the key to resolving the North Sea issue."

Kakei nodded affirmatively. First, he supported Gion in everything.

Secondly, he couldn't think of a better solution. Compared to Lieutenant General Borsalino's laissez-faire policy, he still felt that Lieutenant General Sakazuki's iron-fisted policy was better.

After all, they also need to fight pirates.

Their appointments across the country are not merely for financial gain.

They preferred to be on the front lines rather than doing clerical work on the ship.

The iron-fisted policy was undoubtedly full of opportunities for combat, and they might be able to make great contributions on the battlefield.

Based on his bravery in battle and his military achievements in suppressing pirates, he returned to his headquarters to report for duty and was promoted.

Borsalino tapped the table.

"First of all, you two are merely inspectors of the four seas, and you have no authority to make decisions made by the admiral of the North Sea."

"Secondly, I have spoken with Sakazuki, and the forces in the North Sea are complex and powerful compared to the other three sea areas."

"With the current naval branches at the North Sea base, we don't have the power to suppress the entire sea; we can only control one-third of the area."

Upon hearing this, Gion could only suppress her anger.

"Lieutenant General Borsalino, aren't you afraid we'll report this to headquarters and they'll dock your pay?"

Borsalino scratched his head. He wasn't afraid of anything else, except that headquarters would deduct his salary.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to become the admiral of Beihai.

Actually, he had wanted to stay at the Navy Headquarters for the rest of his life for a long time.

Marineford? What pirates or forces would dare to run rampant there?

However, after Raleigh was brought up and his salary was deducted, he was forced to accept the terms.

"Oh dear, Gion girl, how could you deduct my salary?"

Borsalino sighed and picked up the thermos of hot water in his hand.

"I don't care, but you have to come up with a way to govern Beihai. It can't be a laissez-faire policy."

So sometimes women really are unreasonable; they insist on coming up with solutions for situations that haven't changed for hundreds of years.

In particular, this woman held power and could report to her superiors at any time, resulting in her salary being deducted.

Borsalino secretly felt troubled.

Huff... huff... huff

A soft snoring sound caught Borsalino's attention.

His eyes lit up. That's it!

He wasn't fighting alone; he had a little brother right there with him.

His younger brother is incredibly powerful and extremely intelligent.

They can find opportunities to slack off in all sorts of challenging work environments.

Borsalino trusted him as much as he trusted his own speed.

"Rayle, Rayle. Wake up!"

Borsalino's shouts failed to wake Raleigh, who was sleeping on the sofa.

Seeing this, Gion couldn't hold back her anger any longer.

She felt that she, Lieutenant General Borsalino, and Kakei were already parched from discussing how to uphold justice in the North Sea.

She certainly couldn't tolerate the fact that Rory, the deputy admiral of the North Sea, was slacking off.

rub!

The golden pipe had already been pulled out, and Raleigh, feeling a slight chill, instantly opened his eyes.

"What's going on? The pirates are attacking???"

Having just woken up, Raleigh did a graceful roll and stood behind the sofa.

When he saw the gold pipe that had already been pulled out, he understood everything.

It's probably because Gion feels like she's slacking off while Gion is working hard, and she's feeling resentful.

Having understood everything, Raleigh gave an awkward smile and then explained:

"Gion, take the Kinpira back first. No one here needs it."

Gion responded with a forced smile:

"Is that so, Vice Admiral? I feel like there's someone missing from our conversation."

Raleigh wiped away his cold sweat:

"I was deep in thought just now, and I think Admiral Borsalino is right."

"Since the iron-fisted policy hasn't made Beihai any better, let's try a laissez-faire approach first..."

Seeing Gion's increasingly unfriendly expression, Raleigh swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Borsalino looked at the scene before him and revealed a lewd smile.

"Rayle, Gion just said that if we can't come up with a solution, she'll report it to headquarters and deduct our salaries."

"Then deduct it, I don't really need the money anyway."

Raleigh said he didn't care.

Because he lives and eats at the naval base, he has no plans to settle down and buy a house there.

I sometimes participate in lotteries on the "slacking off" system and have won treasures worth tens of millions of Berries.

To be honest, he's not really short of money.

"Just consider it helping your brother out; I still really need the money."

Borsalino wore a sour expression; he was used to spending money extravagantly anyway.

If his salary is deducted, then he won't be able to pay for the black goji berries from the South China Sea that he ordered a long time ago.

This is an unacceptable pain for Borsalino, who enjoys a life of leisure and relaxation.
