Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 23 Processing

the next day.

After waking up and washing up, Xia Che went to his office and picked up the newspaper that had been ordered by the Navy branch and was already on his desk.

After a quick glance, Xia Che noticed that there was no record of Donghai's information from last night. A look of surprise, mixed with a hint of understanding, flashed in his eyes.

That's true~

It was nothing serious last night!

It's said that the overlord of the East Blue joined forces with East Blue pirates to massacre the 16th Marine Division, but if you look closely...

What are all those things?

Putting aside Moke's 50 million Berries, the highest bounty among the remaining pirates is that of the captain of the Krieg Pirates.

but.

That's only 1700 million Berries!

It's said that there are tens of thousands of pirates, but the combined bounties of all these pirates probably don't even equal the bounty of a single pirate crew in the New World.

As for pirates attacking Marine branches, it's not like they're attacking Enies Lobby, Marin, or Impel Down.

Every day, countless naval branches are attacked by pirates on this vast ocean.

The only difference is that most pirates operate in secret, while Moke is so arrogant.

Therefore, this matter is probably no big deal to the Navy Headquarters. In fact, if Garp hadn't praised it, the Navy Headquarters probably wouldn't have known about it until after the Mokoshin massacred the 16th Marine Branch.

Just like the main characters, after attacking Colonel Rat, if Colonel Rat hadn't specifically praised Luffy, Luffy's first bounty probably wouldn't have been 3000 million Berries.

So, given the situation in the East China Sea... what level is it?!

Still want to trend on the news?

If the pirate leaders of the Grand Line and the New World saw this... wouldn't they laugh their heads off?

This may also be why the Navy Headquarters only sent Captain Smoker to provide support.

If this were in another sea area, facing an attack from a large number of pirates, the navy would at least have to send a naval admiral to provide support.

But the East China Sea now... really doesn't need it.

After Xia Che seemed to understand something, he nodded and continued reading the newspaper.

Currently, there are two main trending topics in the newspapers, one of which is the East Blue Supernova – Portgas D. Ace.

Since leaving the East Blue, this guy has become famous and quickly cleared the Grand Line with his strength, and has entered the New World.

He is currently being invited by the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which is causing quite a stir in the seas.

Another popular figure is Bartholomew the Great Bear, the protagonist of the "One Man Revolution" in the South Sea Sorbe Kingdom a few years ago, who is known as the tyrant.

Of course, later, after the original king of the Sorbet Kingdom, King Beccori, escaped and cooperated with the World Government, he led several naval warships to the Sorbet Kingdom, where they were all sunk by Bartholomew Kuma alone. Now, Bartholomew Kuma has also gone to sea to become a pirate.

While searching for doctors to cure her daughter's illness in the ocean, she also stirred up so-called revolutions in various countries, causing a great uproar and becoming a hot topic in newspapers, with a high bounty offered by the world government.

As for Moke... although the bounty is already quite high for a newcomer, he doesn't seem to have many impressive achievements.

Before, the price of 30 million was all thanks to his boss's boasting, and then Garp inflated it to 50 million. However, the attack on the 16th Marine Division failed, and he also caused trouble for all the pirates in the East Blue.

It is estimated that the pirate forces in the East Blue will have a hard time recovering in the short term.

Xia Che sighed inwardly, shook his head with emotion, then put away the newspaper and looked at Miss Robin beside him, "How's the arrangement for those pirates going?"

"It's already being arranged, but because the quantity is quite large this time, it will probably take some time to fully arrange everything." Miss Robin, still reading her book, didn't look up. She slowly and deliberately said, "Udo is already keeping an eye on things over there. According to your plan, part of it will be used for the construction of the Konom Islands, and part will be used for the construction of the naval branch here."

As she spoke, she also used her abilities to pour Xia Che a cup of black tea.

"Nami went to sort out the spoils early this morning; Mok has already set sail in his new ship; as for the Navy... Captain Smoker is still here, and Sergeant Tashigi was called away by Kuina for a sparring session early this morning."

"Has Moke already set sail?"

It seems Mok is quite excited about getting the new ship!

After hearing Robin's explanation, Shache roughly understood the current situation.

In short, everything was arranged properly, and he didn't need to worry about it.

As for Colonel Smoker, he probably hasn't left yet because of Tashigi.

After all, if you suddenly encounter someone who looks so much like you and also uses a sword, it would be strange if the two of you didn't have a good sparring session!

So, we don't need to worry about Smoker.

"What's the situation in the East China Sea? Has Mokta been exposed?"

Since we haven't received any useful information from the newspapers, we'll gather some from the East China Sea later.

"We've already arranged for people to collect them, but it will take some time." As if she had thought of something, Miss Robin's face showed a helpless smile.

Who would have thought that this guy would eventually arrange for Moke to rescue a group of small-time pirates?

By single-handedly stopping the naval captain, he gave hope to the pirates in the East Blue. I bet those pirates were almost moved to tears by watching Moke's retreating figure.

As for Colonel Smoker... he had a sour face all night, and I heard that there was almost a pile of cigar ash around his feet.

"Oh, right~" Robin looked up, a graceful smile on her face, and said, "This time we encountered quite a few civilians who had been kidnapped by pirates on some pirate ships. Since they were all unconscious at the time, they didn't know what had happened. And you hadn't gotten up yet this morning, so Udo came to see me specifically to ask me later what to do. Also, I heard you're planning to recruit a few pirates?"

"Commoners? If they want to go home, Colonel Smoker can take them away later. If they want to stay, just arrange things the same way as before," Shacher said after a moment's thought.

Normally, Moke and his gang would abduct people from impoverished areas according to his requirements. Therefore, these guys who had experienced poverty would cherish their lives here.

And this time...

It was just an accident.

It is estimated that many of them were ordinary people who were not poor to begin with, but were kidnapped by pirates by chance.

Therefore, there's no need to force people to stay; after all, there's no shortage of people who want to work in this East China Sea.

As for recruiting pirates...

To be honest, there are only a few, especially the Hundred-Plan Kro. Of course, whether he is human or not doesn't matter, as long as the Silent Step is left behind.

So, let Udo go later. I'm sure Udo will handle it.

Instead...

Name: Xia Che

[Occupation: Level 4 Chief Clerk]

[Target number: 8000; Note: When the number of employees reaches 10000, the employee can be promoted to Level 3 Chief Clerk and receive one employee benefit.]

This operation actually increased by 2500, from the original 5500 to 8000, almost catching up with the last time the inspection team came. Could it be because I almost wiped out the small bosses that the protagonist encountered in the early stages?

But I must say, this time we really reaped a great harvest!

Since there was nothing else to do, Xia Che stretched, stood up, and said to Robin, "Want to go check out Cocoyasi Town together?"

The words were spoken.

Miss Robin thought for a moment, closed the book in her hand, gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead with her delicate hand, smiled and nodded, and said elegantly, "Okay, BOSS~"
