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

"Hmm, I heard you complain that our North Sea Navy is not doing a good job and is not suppressing enough pirates, is that right?"

Raleigh said with a fake smile.

"Sigh, to be honest, ever since Vice Admiral Sakazuki left, pirates in the North Blue have been popping up one after another. Suppressing pirates has already taken up too much energy, and there's no time to go to the Kingdom of Eryokobu."

The fat official breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Raleigh say that.

"It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstand?"

Raleigh raised his voice and said:

"I've heard that some people are even suggesting reducing the North Sea Navy's budget?"

The fat official narrowed his eyes and said with a fake smile:

"That might be a misrepresentation from below. We have always believed that the North Sea Navy has made outstanding contributions to maintaining public order, and we are preparing to allocate a special fund to the Navy as military expenses."

"What are special fees?"

Raleigh stared blankly at the government official in front of him.

"The special fee is..."

The fat official wiped his sweat while mentally calculating how to explain things to Rowley.

"You don't understand special funding? The master means to give the North Sea Navy 100 million Berries as a commendation for the North Sea Navy."

Borsalino, who had been facing away from the group, suddenly turned around and said with a smug look on his face.

"Is that so, sir?"

The fat official was a seasoned veteran; how could he not understand the back-and-forth between Borsalino and Rory?

But he was suffering inside.

If an uprising breaks out, he might lose the official position he has worked so hard to climb.

As for the 100 million Berries special fund for the Navy, it doesn't come from his own pocket. As long as it's in accordance with the rules, even the higher-ups can't say anything.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and said:

"Yes, what Admiral Borsalino said is exactly what I mean."

"You can continue."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Borsalino turned the stool back around.

"Old fox."

The fat official could only curse Borusalino's treachery in his heart, but on the surface he still put on a calm and composed appearance.

Raleigh was also satisfied, but a hint of worry appeared on his face.

"Our lord is truly good to our navy. Our navy is willing to go through fire and water for our lord."

"But I recently got into some trouble. I was on a small island in the North Sea when I ran into a mafia boss named Doflamingo, and I beat him up. Now I'm under house arrest by Admiral Borsalino."

"Although I really want to help you, I can't disobey military orders."

The portly official let out a soft sigh.

He did know about Doflamingo, a former Celestial Dragon nobleman who later led his family to voluntarily give up their divine status.

Last year, he boarded the Jorgmare Tower carrying his father's head, but was refused by the Five Elders to rejoin the Celestial Dragons.

This person's identity is quite troublesome, but the fact that Raleigh beat him up is really not a big deal.

Celestial Dragons are not to be trifled with, but those who no longer hold the status of Celestial Dragons are a different story.

Besides, Raleigh didn't kill him; he just injured him and let him go.

When we report this, we can embellish it a bit and write it as a sparring match between Doflamingo and Raleigh.

Anyway, it's a small matter, so the higher-ups won't pay too much attention to it. Right now, they're more concerned about how to target the navy.

Huh? Wait a minute?

This guy expects me to clean up his mess!

The fat official suddenly realized that the matter of Raleigh fighting Doflamingo was neither a big deal nor a small one.

In the past, if they fought, they fought; it was perfectly normal for the Navy to fight the Mafia.

However, now is the time to target the navy, and a misstep could very well affect the World Nobles' overall plans.

Looking at the smiling Raleigh in front of him, the fat official couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

But then I thought again, the World Nobles' plan wouldn't affect this place for the time being, and Doflamingo hadn't reported Raleigh's actions to the World Government.

Therefore, this matter is open to discussion!

"I've never heard of this before! A mafia boss, Admiral Raleigh is doing a service to the people, and the entire navy should learn from him."

The fat official said righteously.

Hearing this, Raleigh felt that a small flaw in his previous mischief had been removed.

Although it won't affect Raleigh's overall plan, it would be troublesome if someone brought it up one day. Having a World Government official endorse him would save him a lot of trouble.

"Alright, I promise you. I'll go as long as Admiral Borsalino agrees to lift my confinement order."

As soon as he finished speaking, Borsalino's office chair turned back around just as appropriately.

"Rolley, how could you treat our distinguished guests like that? If the adults have something to do, just do it. What curfew? It's over. Now, set off for the Kingdom of Eryokobu immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

Raleigh immediately stood up and said loudly.

The two World Government officials were speechless for a moment, completely convinced of the cooperation between Boralli and Borsalino.

The two of them came intending to pay a small price, but ended up suffering a huge loss.

Fortunately, neither of them paid any price in this matter; the money came from the government's account, so it didn't matter.

Anyway, once this matter is resolved, they will apply to be transferred to another place to make more money as soon as possible.

The debts and favors owed will naturally be dealt with by the next official.

"Since the two admirals have agreed to our request, we will take our leave now."

The two officials dared not stay any longer; who knew what price they might pay if they did.

They left in a hurry.

Once their footsteps faded into the distance, the previously serious-looking Raleigh immediately sprawled out in a relaxed pose.

Borsalino took a sip of his goji berry tea and said approvingly:

"Not bad, kid. This time, not only will someone pay for the military expenses, but someone will also clean up your mess."

Raleigh reached for an orange on the seat, peeled it, and put it in his mouth.

"You should be secretly happy. Fools like this are rare. Take advantage of every one you can. These days, world government officials are as cunning as monkeys."

Borsalino smiled smugly and said nothing.

Raleigh, meanwhile, was slacking off while refining his plan in his mind.

Bellemere should have already set off, and the flying squirrel has obtained the capture warrant.

Since Doflamingo has agreed, there must be no problem.

Originally, Raleigh was still thinking about what position to choose to make the news of the destruction of the East Blue CP organization seem reasonable.

Now he has a plan.

A miners' uprising may break out in the Kingdom of Eryoko.

This is a great thing; it would be a shame not to take advantage of it.

If Bellemere fled all the way to the Kingdom of Eryoko in the North Sea, and then a miners' uprising broke out, then the deaths of the CP organization members would make sense.

They can just find a few leaders of the uprising to take the blame. Anyway, there are so many people involved, it won't be so easy to investigate afterwards.
