Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 81 Human Relationships

In the world of One Piece, a high bounty does not necessarily mean strength, but a strong person's bounty is definitely not low.

The bounty is a measure taken by the World Government to classify the threat posed by so-called criminals to the World Government. Therefore, the most important factors are the degree of damage and the level of threat.

As the East Blue Overlord, Moke, held his speech and analyzed everything from bounties to the World Government, the pirates who had come specifically to listen to this "East Blue Overlord Teaches You to Be a Pirate" lecture suddenly understood.

There is a deeper understanding of what is called sabotage and threat.

Especially given the general intelligence of pirates in this world, after Moke added his own twist to the speech, they all understood a certain principle.

If you want your bounty to soar fast and high, you have to slap the World Government in the face and make them unhappy.

As for why he's unhappy?

The East China Sea Overlord also explained it in detail to everyone in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

If you want to displease the World Government in the East China Sea, there are only two ways: rob the nobles of member states and attack the naval branches.

As for robbing ordinary people?

How much can it rise if the world government doesn't even look at it?

Even if you're going to snatch a member state, you have to have a purpose and a way to do it. You have to snatch those that have a good relationship with the World Government, like the Goa Kingdom next door, which won the title of the most beautiful country in the East Blue a few years ago. If you snatch that one, your bounty will definitely skyrocket.

Moke continued his analysis, moving from the basics to the more advanced points, which made many ambitious individuals who were thinking about increasing the bounty suddenly realize something. They seemed to understand something and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as they looked at the imposing figure.

As expected of Moke, the overlord of the East China Sea!

No wonder their bounties rise so quickly; there's a real art to being a pirate.

To promote the vigorous development of East Blue pirates, expand the East Blue pirate business, and shed the title of the weakest sea, the East Blue Overlord also said that he would personally pay for a gift for every pirate who came here, "Becoming a Pirate from Zero," which records the key points of the speech so that each pirate can review it carefully afterward.

It also records the situation of each member state of the East Blue, so that every ambitious East Blue pirate can rob the right person and the right person, and embark on the correct path to increase bounty.

Instantly.

This once again moved the pirates to tears, who kept praising the East Blue Overlord's ambition, saying he was destined to dominate the world and sit on the throne of the Pirate King.

The overlord of the East Blue didn't roll back from the Grand Line; he returned for the sake of the East Blue pirates' hopes!

That's so touching!

Finally, when I felt it was about time...

Mok grabbed again, silencing the cheering crowd once more. Holding a megaphone Den Den Mushi, his face stern, he shouted, "Now everyone repeat after me!"

"To succeed, you have to go crazy and chase money recklessly!"

The crowd shouted, "To succeed, you have to go crazy! Charge for money at all costs!"

"Take a gamble and earn millions; only by working incredibly hard can you avoid failure!"

"Take a gamble and earn millions; only by working incredibly hard can you avoid failure!"

"Sleep on the deck today, become the Pirate King tomorrow!"

"Sleep on the deck today, become the Pirate King tomorrow!"

As the last sentence fell, the atmosphere in the room was ignited once again, reaching a climax. Looking at the excited pirates, Moke nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and threw the megaphone Den Den Mushi in his hand into the hand of his subordinate. He said casually, "Meeting adjourned!" Then, under everyone's gaze, he flicked his cloak and turned away with a flourish.

He exuded the aura of a hegemon of the East China Sea, making everyone look at that figure with admiration.

No wonder he has a bounty of 80 million and defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the ruler of the East Blue!

Only one person in the hall, with a red nose and a bewildered expression, watched from the beginning to the end. Looking at the group of pirates chanting "Sleep on the deck today, be the Pirate King tomorrow!", he muttered to himself, "Are these guys... insane?"

……

"Are they crazy? Have all the pirates in the East Blue gone mad?"

Naval Headquarters, Office of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

They also received intelligence from the Navy's 16th Branch, which had years of experience resisting the East Blue Overlord, and even received the bizarre book "Starting as a Pirate from Zero," written by the East Blue Overlord himself.

This left the Warring States Marshal speechless.

What are they trying to do?

Not long ago, he was wondering what the East Blue overlord wanted to do after defeating Crocodile, capturing the king of the member state, provoking the World Government, and showing his ambition to the whole world.

And now...

Did he actually go back to class?

To promote the vigorous development of East Blue pirates, expand the East Blue pirate business, and shed the title of the weakest sea?

Is this what pirates should do?

Even the Pirate King Roger wasn't this outrageous!

Fleet Admiral Sengoku scratched his head as he looked at the intelligence sent up by the 16th Marine Division, rubbing his head in frustration.

I have to say that this East China Sea overlord's analysis is quite accurate!

If you want your bounty to increase quickly, recruiting nobles and royalty from member states is indeed the fastest way.

Of course, it wasn't because of these pirate leaders.

These are just small-time pirates from the East China Sea. All of them combined are not even as powerful as the overlord of the East China Sea. Even if these guys cause trouble, what can they possibly do?

And do these petty pirates really think they're all the overlords of the East Blue, provoking the Navy so many times without ever getting caught?

What gave him a headache was...

What exactly does this overlord of the East China Sea want to do?

As the Fleet Admiral, Sengoku suddenly realized that he had absolutely no idea what this guy was up to!

Is this really a plan to revive the glory of the East Blue Pirates?

At this time.

Just when the Warring States period was facing a headache.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we're getting calls from member states in the East Blue saying they've been attacked by pirates." A navy officer rushed in and said anxiously, "Many kings and nobles have suffered heavy losses. We hope the navy can capture the pirates as soon as possible and increase their bounties."

"I already know!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku waved his hand, rubbing his nose, and said, "Tell the member states of the East Blue that the navy will make arrangements as soon as possible."

only.

That's what they say, but right now the Marine Headquarters is under orders from the World Government to do everything they can to find Vegapunk, so they have no time to deal with these trivial matters.

Especially after reading the message from the 16th branch...

Apart from the East China Sea overlord being a bit troublesome, the rest are just small-time pirates, so there's no need to make a big fuss about it.

Sengoku pondered for a moment, then said, "Have Captain Smoker cooperate with the 16th Marine Division to capture the pirates who plundered the member states. At the same time, increase the bounty on the East Blue's overlord, Moko, to... 100 million Berries, and also increase the bounty on the pirates who caused this trouble, to attract bounty hunters from the East Blue!"

That should be enough. But that overlord of the East China Sea... will threaten and cause trouble for the navy sooner or later!

First they threw a pirate feast, and now they're trying to revive the glory of the East Blue pirates. Who knows what they'll come up with next!

After thinking for a moment, looking at the marines, he said, "The 16th Marine Division said that Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has established his own territory in the East Blue?"

"Yes, and it's very close to the 16th Marine Branch, which is giving Captain Xia Che a real headache. He said that the presence of the Seven Warlords of the Sea next door makes him feel very insecure and he's been living in constant fear. He hasn't been sleeping well lately and hopes that the Marine Headquarters can allocate more military funds to strengthen the 16th Marine Branch's armaments so that it can deter the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"First there was the East Blue Overlord, and now another Shichibukai has appeared. It's really giving that kid Shache a headache. What is Bartholomew Kuma thinking? After becoming a Shichibukai, instead of returning to his own kingdom, he's gone to the East Blue to build up his power?" Fleet Admiral Sengoku sighed, nodded, and said, "Alright, have the Finance Department allocate more funds. Also, tell Bartholomew Kuma that it's an order from the World Government..." With a serious expression, he continued, "...that he cooperate with the 16th Marine Division to capture the East Blue Overlord—Moko!"

"yes!"

After dealing with the minor trouble in the East China Sea, Marshal Sengoku slowly exhaled. Seemingly noticing the commotion in the corridor, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Reporting to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, it is a gift from the 16th Naval Division."

"Another gift for Zephyr? Even though that kid was demoted to the East Blue, he's still quite grateful." Sengoku nodded with a faint smile upon hearing the Marine's words. "He sends Zephyr a gift every year around this time. Of all the Marines who have been demoted, only this kid still remembers his mentor. It's no wonder Zephyr protected him so much back then. But..."

He looked down down the corridor with a puzzled expression.

"Why does it seem like there's a lot more stuff this year? What's wrong? That kid's always complaining about being poor, did he strike it rich this year?"

"Eh..."

"explain!"

"It seems like not only Professor Zeff received one this year, but Admiral Kuzan and Vice Admiral Garp also sent them." Looking at Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was frowning, the Marine hesitated for a moment before saying, "So, there are quite a few this year!"

"Garp and Kuzan both have them? This kid's quite worldly-wise, he's got some talent, but he doesn't use it for serious matters. Cough, what about mine?"

"Eh, sorry, it seems... I didn't see Marshal Sengoku."

The words were spoken.

Warring States Period: ...

So... Zeff has it, Garp has it, even Kuzan has it, but he, the Fleet Admiral, doesn't?

You know, he approved a lot of funding for this kid!

This kid is so clueless about social etiquette!
