One Piece: My Second Uncle is Kizaru

That voice is the voice of the Admiral!

Although she had only heard it once, during boot camp, she would not mistake that voice.

In an instant, she held her breath and dared not make any loud noise.

Seeing this, Kyle smiled in his heart.

Dashigi's current state was exactly what he wanted to see.

"It's me, Marshal!"

Kyle began to answer seriously.

Over there, Marshal Zhan Guo seemed to be puzzled as to why Kyle called and asked:

"What's going on, Kyle?"

"Um……"

Kyle groaned and replied:

“There are indeed some problems.”

Without waiting for Zhan Guo to ask, he continued:

"Marshal, didn't you want me to investigate the intelligence of the underground weapons dealers in the East China Sea?"

"I have something to report to you about this."

"……you say."

The steady voice of Zhan Guo came.

Kyle nodded into the void and said:

"I wonder if you know what happened in Roge Town, Donghai yesterday?"

"Rogue Town!?"

Hearing about this special city, Zhan Guo was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said:

"Well, there's been some unrest in the New World recently, so I've been busy with things over there."

"What happened in Rogue Town?"

After all, he is the marshal who commands the entire world's navy. If he had to understand every incident caused by a small pirate, he would have been exhausted to death in this position long ago.

So he really didn't understand much about Kyle's actions yesterday.

"Something did happen."

Kyle had anticipated Zhan Guo's attitude.

"Yesterday afternoon, I kidnapped the adjutant of the Rogue Town Naval Base in Rogue Town in the name of the Dusk Pirates."

"Oh?"

Zhan Guo groaned softly, but didn't say much else.

He believed that Kyle must have his reasons for taking such action.

Then, Kyle explained.

"After arriving in the East China Sea, I carefully considered the information you provided."

"In particular, a focused study was conducted on a shell penetrating a naval warship."

"I finally came to the conclusion that..."

"There is a high possibility that our naval forces in the East China Sea have run into serious problems!"

Chapter 14 Cyclonus

"Is there a problem with the navy team?"

“How come you see?”

On the Den Den Mushi side, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

In the captain's room, Kyle organized his words a little and then said:

"First of all, according to the intelligence I have investigated, there have been no outstanding naval warriors born in the East China Sea for nearly ten years!"

"Although the East China Sea has always been known as the weakest sea, I don't believe it is really weak as it is a region that gave birth to Pirate King Roger and Vice Admiral Garp!"

"The pirates are weak because when the Pirate King Roger was executed, the Navy spent a lot of effort to carry out a devastating blow to the pirate base in the East China Sea."

"So from then on, it was hard to see any famous and powerful pirates leaving the East China Sea."

"but!"

Kyle's tone suddenly paused, and there was a huge turn.

His voice also became deeper, making people subconsciously think that he was about to say something heavy.

"Twenty years ago, the navy only attacked pirate forces, but why is it so hard to find even excellent naval talents now!?"

"........."

There was silence on the Den Den Mushi side.

But if you listen carefully, you can easily hear the gradually heavy breathing in the silence.

"go on……"

Den Den Mushi, who was imitating the expression of Sengoku, also looked solemn.

Apparently Kyle's words made him realize the seriousness of the problem.

This problem is many times more serious than any mysterious organization selling weapons.

Seeing that Zhan Guo's emotions had been aroused, Kyle got straight to the point this time and whispered:

"I suspect that someone is deliberately blocking the path of young people who really want to contribute to the navy and the people!"

"After arriving in the East China Sea, I was thinking..."

"The price of shells that can be sold in the East China Sea pirate circle must not be too high."

"Those guys who sell shells can't possibly be doing charity and not making any money."

"So...how powerful can a shell like this be!?"

"The Navy Headquarters' new warships have been equipped with the latest military materials from the scientific research unit. Even a collision with a sea king cannot damage them at all."

"In theory, even if the warships in the East China Sea region cannot be compared with those top-level warships, they should not be inferior to ordinary civilian ships."

"Could it be that the research results of the scientists of the Navy's scientific research unit, who work day and night, are not as good as those of an unknown person in the East China Sea!?"

"This is obviously impossible!"

"So I think the problem lies in the information you gave me..."

Kelton paused and explained:

"Of course, I'm not saying that the intelligence you provided was wrong, but it's clear that the guy who reported the situation did not conduct a comprehensive investigation."

"I think that the powerful shells are real, and the battleships are damaged, but a damaged battleship may not be what we understand as a battleship!"

Zhan Guo groaned:

"You mean to say that someone used the money for purchasing naval warships to buy ordinary civilian ships and then pocketed the money?"

"That's right, Marshal."

Kyle said solemnly:

"The subsidy cost of a standard naval warship is often 3-5 times that of an ordinary ship."

"And the difference is enough to make people take risks."

"In the past 20 years, the East China Sea Navy has not had to constantly upgrade its weapons and build more warships to curb pirate forces like other regions."

"But the subsidies they receive are not much different from those in other areas."

"Over time, someone will naturally become interested in the extra money."

"Human nature is greedy!"

"The pirates in the East China Sea have been peaceful for 20 years, and the navy has suppressed the pirates for 20 years!"

"Without the threat of pirates, those guys who control force and power will become new threats!"

"Considering that collusion between officials and bandits has existed since ancient times."

"There may even be some navy who will join forces with pirates to oppress the people, deceive their superiors and subordinates, and become local tyrants!"

"At the same time, in order to prevent their own situation from being discovered, they would frame those truly talented and responsible naval soldiers."

"After all, the casualties of the East China Sea Navy are not much easier than those in other places."

"........."

"........."

After listening to Kyle's report, Zhan Guo suddenly fell silent.

It's not that he didn't consider some things, but he didn't expect the situation to develop so seriously.

This is universal in any world.

Of course, what surprised him even more was...

Kyle, who had just arrived in the East China Sea, was able to think of so many things from just a little bit of information.

Originally, he was just optimistic about Kyle's background and confirmed that he was someone he could use with confidence...

I didn't expect that he could bring me such a big surprise.

Zhan Guo took the initiative to ask: "What do you think should be done next?"

Kyle drawled out his voice, pretending to think.

“Right now, I don’t have an exact goal.”

"After all, all this is just my guess."

"But I plan to select a few naval bases in the East China Sea to test in the name of the Dusk Pirates."

"I caused such a big commotion in Rogue Town that my name should have spread throughout the East China Sea by now."

"No one will doubt my identity as a pirate."

"From the attitude of those naval bases towards pirates, we can tell who is doing things sincerely and who is just trying to fish in troubled waters."

“I don’t think there is a more appropriate way than this!”

At the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku, who was sitting in an office, nodded affirmatively.

"Well, this is indeed a good idea."

Immediately, he pounded the table and said to Den Den Mushi:

"Okay, then it's decided!"

"Agent Kyle, the previous mission is temporarily cancelled. From now on, you will investigate the corruption and bribery of the East China Sea Navy!"

"If you need anything, you can ask me. The Navy Headquarters will always be your strongest backing!"

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Kyle grinned, and after hesitating for a moment, he pretended to be doubtful and said:

"But when it comes to support, I do have a few small requests."

"But it doesn't matter!"

Zhan Guo, who was sitting on the marshal's chair, waved his hand.

Since he has determined that Kyle is a talented person with great potential, he will naturally not be stingy.

Soon, Kyle put forward his own demands:

"I need your permission!"

"Since they are disguising themselves as pirates, the Dusk Pirates will definitely recruit some guys who want to become pirates or even guys who are pirates themselves..."
