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

They never expected that Raleigh would be so bold.

Since the navy couldn't station troops and govern the area, they fostered a group of mafia families to work for the navy and let them govern and fight against the underground forces.

Although the outcome of such an operation is unknown, the mere thought of it is unacceptable to the World Government.

This is because it touches on the bottom line of the World Government; they are only training the navy to maintain their rule.

It's not that they actually want to raise a herd of wild beasts.

With subordinate units, the navy could even be considered an independent force to some extent.

Because the Mafia certainly won't give away their money for nothing; they will inevitably get something in return from ordinary people.

The Navy will not allow the Mafia to grow too powerful and will also profit from it.

Such a navy possesses strong military power and also has the money from the civilians, making it economically independent.

PS: (No matter what kind of military organization it is, it is not allowed to have economic power, otherwise it will become a warlord and thus threaten the ruler's position.)

Raleigh glanced at Gion and Kake in surprise, not expecting that the two who grew up in the headquarters were actually quite capable.

They were able to extrapolate the rest of the story simply by proposing an assumption.

They probably don't realize that this is just the first step in Raleigh's plan.

Using Beihai as a base, they gradually cultivated their own power.

Those talents sent out by the navy themselves will inevitably occupy the majority of the navy's influence in the future.

However, this is just a preliminary idea; it's always good to have some backup plans.

Borsalino clearly saw through the mystery, but he remained calm and said without changing his expression:

"Raleigh's idea is quite creative, and I think it's very feasible."

Gion said anxiously:

"But......"

Borsalino stopped Gion from opening his mouth:

"I will personally report this matter to headquarters. In addition, we can conduct an experiment on this island first. If the results are good, then we will proceed with this plan."

Chanialar

Located on a prosperous shipping route in Beihai, the island has a population of nearly 100,000, making it a sizable city.

It benefits from its proximity to the naval branch base.

During Sakazuki's tenure, the Mafia families on the island were relatively obedient.

However, when jackals are docile, they are merely hiding their claws and teeth; their sense of smell is far more acute than that of other creatures.

Once they sense a change in the environment, they can always react the fastest.

No sooner had Sakazuki's warships left than they had already made their move.

-------------------------------------

The harbor was quiet at dusk.

The sun, having withdrawn its daytime heat, dyed the evening sky blood red, as if foreshadowing something.

On the main road of the city, two groups of people were facing each other, weapons in hand.

The crowds were so large that they seemed endless.

The once spacious streets now seemed rather narrow, and the two sides were locked in a tense standoff.

It looked like a fight was about to break out, but one group was clearly much smaller, with less than half the number of the other group.

A boastful voice rang out:

"Lucian, today is your last chance. Join the Maysfield family and let us unite the North Sea's underworld. Otherwise, we'll wipe the Selsbury family out of the North Sea today!"

"Don't even think about it, the Selesbury family will not yield."

A child's voice cried out, though she was terrified, she would never submit to these villains who killed her father.

"Hey, look at me, Rex. Is the Salisbury family now just a bunch of kids running the business? Why don't you come and become an executive in our Maysfield family? With your abilities, you'll have a much better life in the Salisbury family."

"The fierce-looking Samuel shouted."

"There's no need for further explanation, Samuel. The young master has already stated that the Selsbury family will never submit to their enemies."

A tall man roared.

The battle became intense from the very beginning.

boom! boom! boom!

Gunfire erupted continuously as hundreds of people, armed with knives, engaged in a frenzied battle in the streets.

The vulnerable civilians could only stay at home, keeping their doors and windows tightly shut, and pray silently.

Rex, wielding a sharp knife, moved swiftly through the crowd.

His body was already stained with the blood of his enemies, but he didn't care and only wanted to fight.

Upon seeing Samuel, who was leading the group, he roared and charged forward, even though Samuel was no match for him.

If killing Samuel causes chaos among the Maysfield family members, they might be able to save the Selsebury family.

Samuel himself was not very strong, but he was cruel, cunning, and ruthless.

With the power of the Maysfield family members, they have already eliminated several small mafia families affiliated with the Selsebury family.

By seizing their territory and using the wealth gained from plunder to recruit soldiers, the Maysfield family's power expanded rapidly.

As a result, the Selsebury family was targeted by the Maysfield family, who ambushed and killed the previous head of the family last month.

Rex's hands were already trembling; he knew he had reached his limit.

But seeing his family members falling and wailing all around him filled him with immense grief.

After this period of expansion, the Maysfield family is stronger than the Sellsbury family in terms of both manpower and weaponry.

If this continues, they will all be dead at Samuel's hands in less than half an hour.

Hundreds of Maysfield family members acted like a pack of wild beasts.

Armed with spears, broadswords, and battle axes, they charged fiercely into the Selesbury family's ranks.

Screams and the clanging of swords filled the air.

Dark red blood flowed down the once bustling street, and limbs and corpses piled up like mountains.

"Go to hell, Samuel!"

Rex seized an opportunity, smashed through the surrounding enemies, and charged forward recklessly.

His eyes were bloodshot, and with the explosion of his physical potential, his speed increased several times over.

The figure moved with lightning speed, covering a distance of more than ten meters and arriving in front of Samuel.

He raised his blood-stained longsword high and let out a furious shout.

He unleashed his most satisfying strike, slashing heavily towards Samuel's neck.

In the brief moment between the falling blades, he saw a hint of mockery in Samuel's eyes.

The next second, he received a heavy blow to the left side of his body.

This power is like a raging rhinoceros; it is impossible to resist.

Rex's body was thrown out like a pebble, and he lost his grip on the sword and dropped it.

He was panting heavily, blood constantly oozing from the corner of his mouth; the blow had damaged his internal organs.
