Pirates: I’m afraid the world isn’t violent enough!

Chapter 75 Spangdine: You’re poaching me when we meet, right?

When Ortorun got off the boat, as soon as his feet touched the ground and before he could stand still, a black shadow rushed in front of him. The next moment, Ortorun's hand was held and he shook it hard. Got off.

"Oh, this looks like the famous Rear Admiral Ben Ortolen of the Navy. I have always seen news about you in the newspapers before. You punched Charlotte Lingling, stepped on Kaido, and hammered red with anger. Earl, I was thinking at that time that the photo in the newspaper looked a little missing. Now that I see the real person, it is indeed true. That heroic temperament cannot be captured in the photo. It is so awesome that I have admired him for a long time!"

A series of flattery almost knocked Ortolen unconscious. To be honest, this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Let alone...it was really exciting.

Taking a closer look, this guy had a cunning look on his face, but he was wearing a black suit. He looked somewhat smart and capable. Ortoron also had an impression of that face. It was Spangdyne, the CP-9's boss. The commander is right, he is Spandam's good-for-nothing father in the original story.

However, in Ortorun's impression, Spangdyne should be a very good guy. Why did he flatter him so quickly that he almost missed him? Could it be that practice makes perfect?

No wonder Gion said he was a human spirit. As a member of the CP organization, he was so smooth when facing the navy, worthy of the word "all-around exquisite".

As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person, not to mention that Ortorun has no grudge against him, so he also put on a gentle smile on his face and said: "It's ridiculous, I'm just a newbie in the navy, I can't afford it." These high reputations belong to you, Commander Spandyne. You are very capable and outstanding at first glance. In the following tasks, I hope that we can work closely together to uphold justice and bring all evil to justice!"

Ortorun's words also made Spandaine a little surprised. Because of the stiff relationship between the Navy and the CP, and the fact that people in the Navy always looked down on people from the CP agency, before Ortorun came, , he was mentally prepared to be criticized for a few words.

I didn't expect that Ortorun would give him such face?

It's not in vain that he lowered his status and went out of his way to build a good relationship.

Yes, lowering his status, Spangdine is the commander-in-chief of CP-9 after all. Judging from the administrative level of the entire world government, he should enjoy the treatment of a lieutenant general at the Navy Headquarters. Compared with , Ortorun has only been a major general for a few days, so his status is naturally different.

"Absolutely, we all work for the World Government, so we should work together!" Spangdine answered, and then hurried to say hello to Gion.

However, he is still very measured. When facing Ortorun, he is enthusiastic and proactive, but when facing Gion, he is not so active in shaking hands.

And Gion is not a domineering guy. Although he is not as nice as Altorun said, he still gave Spangdyne enough face.

Soon, after a brief exchange, Spangdyne led Altoron and others towards the island.

He is also a practical guy, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in the position of commander of CP-9 at such a young age. Even within the CP agency, he could be continuously promoted. Later, he could rely on these qualifications and connections to become the commander of CP-9. That good-for-nothing son was forcibly carried to the CP- commander's position.

So while walking, Spangdine said: "With the help of your navy this time, I believe that this scholar's case will be solved soon. Before that, we were..."

Ortorun listened as he walked, interjecting from time to time to ask about the specific situation.

After a while, I got a rough idea of ​​the current progress... It's really difficult, because the progress this time is equivalent to no progress.

The CP agency has been busy for several months, but no one has been caught alive and no clues can be found.

No wonder Spangdyne was so enthusiastic. He asked the navy to help, or to find someone to share the responsibility.

While chatting like this, they soon entered the internal area of ​​the Judiciary Island CP agency. Not long after, when they passed by a school field, Oltorun stopped and looked towards the school field.

Inside, there was a group of children who looked to be in their teens, doing physical training under the scorching sun.

Seeing that Ortolen seemed interested, Spangdyne also introduced: "Those children are our new seedlings of CP-9 this year. We selected orphans with certain talents from all over the world. We will We train them from an early age and instill our beliefs. After five or six years, they will become a new batch of CP-9 agents, responsible for executing justice in the darkness."

Ortorun nodded, but his eyes were always locked on a kid. The kid looked very immature, probably less than ten years old, but his immature face could still make Ortorun It feels familiar.

Rob Lucci, later known as CP-9, was the most talented and strongest guy in eight hundred years.

What is the strongest is up for debate. I guess it is just a slogan to cheer people up. But that guy does have a good talent. As an ordinary animal-type ability user, he once became the most powerful person the Straw Hat Pirates have ever encountered. The Strongest Enemy, the subsequent scenes are also okay.

In terms of performance, Lu Qi's strength is not particularly dazzling, but it is not bad either.

This is understandable. Ortorun believes that this is because Lu Qi's life experience has resulted in his talents and talents not being fully explored, so his subsequent strength level is not as good as his name.

In my impression, this kid should have started performing various tasks when he was thirteen years old. The tasks of the CP agency are basically espionage, so Lu Qi will most likely have to lurk in a certain task for a long time. a period of time.

For example, for the mission in the Seven Water City, he had been lurking for seven years as a shipbuilder. During these seven years, he had been repairing and building ships every day, and had become a famous master shipbuilder in the Seven Water City. Just imagine, not to mention his previous missions, if Lucci had not been screwing screws in the factory every day during these seven years, but had been practicing hard, his strength would definitely not be so bad!

So after Ortorun saw Lu Qi, he was a little unable to walk. This is a good seedling. Staying in the CP agency will only waste his talent. On the contrary, if it falls into the hands of him, Ortorun, Is it possible to develop into a general-level combat capability in the future?

Especially, it is very possible that Lucci has not even eaten the Devil Fruit!

And the worst thing is that he is definitely not at the level of an elite lieutenant general. It is definitely a profitable business!

At the same time, Spangdyne said just now that this batch of new seedlings just arrived this year, so they should not have been brainwashed into tool men, so it is just right for them to take action.

"Okay, seeing this group of vigorous new seedlings, I feel that the future of our world government is bright!" Ortorun first praised, and then said: "Speaking of which, I felt that at a glance The child is very close to me. It just so happens that I have just been promoted to major general, and I also need a little follower to serve tea and water. If Mr. Spangdyne is willing to part with me, can you let the little guy come with me?"

Spangdine was also a little confused. No, your navy recruits much more soldiers than us every year. Do you think you can poach people from me like this when we meet for the first time? Don't you think it's awkward?

However, as an intelligence officer, he had a detailed understanding of Ortorun before Ortorun came. He knew the young man's background well. He was very close to the naval hero Garp. The personal disciple of General Zefa, and now the direct subordinate of General Sengoku, he even got on the path of Admiral Cyborg on Felenis Island. In addition, he has amazing talents, and his performance right now The strong strength comes out.

I am afraid that within a few years, he will become an important figure in the navy!

Whether from his personal perspective or from the personal connections behind him, he is very worthy of investment.

As the saying goes, it is better to provide icing on the cake than to provide help when the time is right. Oltorun is just beginning to take off. If you build a relationship with Oltorun and build a good relationship at this time, it is the time to maximize investment benefits. He Spangdyne The reason why you can be so open inside the world government is that on the one hand, you are really capable, and on the other hand, isn't it because you are good at speculation?

It is true that the relationship between the Navy and the CP must be rigid. This is the main theme, but at the same time, a lubricant is also needed to fight without breaking through. This lubricant is very critical, and Spangdyne also took a fancy to it. In this role of 'lubricant', we are striving to make progress in this regard.

After all, CPs who have a rigid relationship with the navy are easy to catch, but CPs who have a smooth relationship with the navy are rare.

Can becoming a rare item have the same role and importance as becoming an ordinary item?

So after thinking about it for a while, Spangdine said with a smile: "We are all working for the world government, that is, we are one family. What do we mean by two families? Whether it is the Navy or our CP, they are all for Justice, Major General Ban, you can take a fancy to our young talent, doesn’t that just prove this point? There’s no problem, I’ll make the decision, which one do you take your fancy on?”

Chapter 76 The storm in the South China Sea, the beginning of the great pirate era.

Seeing that Spangdyne agreed, Ortorun pointed to Rob Lucci who was training in the distance and said: "That's the little guy with the dove on his hat, okay?"

Spangdyne glanced at Ortorun in surprise, and then said: "Major General Ban has a good vision. That kid is currently the most outstanding among our new recruits. If it were the others, I can’t bear to part with it, but since it’s the Major General who has spoken, it’s no problem!”

This group of newcomers has indeed just arrived. Although Lu Qi's performance is the best, he has not yet been called the 'strongest'. His talents and talents have not yet been fully noticed by the CP agency.

That's why Spangdain agreed so happily, otherwise there might have been some trouble.

With that said, Spangdine gave a few instructions to a boy next to him. The boy quickly left the team and went to the training ground. After a while, Lu Qi was brought over with a confused look on his face.

"Rob Lucci." Spangdine knelt down with a friendly face, patted Lucci on the shoulder, then pointed at Altolen and said: "You are lucky today, this big shot in the navy, Ben Major General En has taken a liking to you, and from today onwards, you can follow this master."

"Ah?" Lu Qi was confused. He agreed to be an agent, but why did he become a navy?

He looked at Ortorun, and Ortorun smiled kindly and said, "I like your pigeons very much, kid."

Lu Qi seemed to have reacted from his doubts, and immediately said: "Yes!"

For the young Lu Qi at this time, there is not much difference between CP, Navy, etc. He is just an adopted orphan, and he is also very smart and precocious, knowing that he cannot make a decision. Whatever, whether it was the navy or CP, he had no choice.

"Okay, let's talk about the rest later. You go pack your things first and get ready. We will call you when we leave." Ortorun said again.

After settling Luqi's matter, Spangdine continued to take Ortolen and others to the office building of CP-9. The two parties officially began a series of discussions and intelligence exchanges on the scholar mission. mutual communication.

"Because there are suspects, we have already conducted some infiltration investigations into Alabasta and O'Hara. However, the progress in Alabasta is pretty good, but O'Hara's scholar organization is a little troublesome. , After all, if you want to join them, you need excellent relevant knowledge and quality, which we cannot cultivate in a short period of time..." Spangdyne said helplessly while sitting in front of a pile of documents on the table.

Ortorun flipped through the documents in his hand and said with some emotion: "And for such an important matter, even O'Hara's scholar organization must only have a specific group of people they completely trust who can participate in it. Come."

"Yes, so in a short period of time, the possibility of making an internal breakthrough from these two suspected targets is not high. In fact, maybe they really didn't do it? So we still need to deal with these illegal activities outside." The best solution is to carry out scientific research and survey fleets. In this regard, our CP does not have as many manpower as your navy. Information often appears, but the local area cannot quickly organize manpower to arrest it, so we finally decided , cooperate with your navy." Spangdyne nodded and said.

After a slight pause, Spangdine lowered his voice and said: "And according to our investigation, it is very likely..."

Speaking of this, Spangdyne hesitated again, causing Ortoron to frown and say, "What's wrong?"

Spanda was embarrassed and said: "It's not that I want to slander or provoke anything, but we did find out that it is very likely that the Ziyong Army is also looking for these mysterious scholars... You also know that the Ziyong Army The situation with the Yongjun is quite special. It used to be nothing, but last year they attacked the participating countries and are now considered an illegal organization."

Since the leader of the brave army is that guy Dolag, and Altorun is one of Garp's men, it's no wonder that Spangdine said this after he wanted to "pretend".

Although Altoron was a little surprised that Dorag wanted to get involved in this matter, he didn't find it particularly unexpected.

The reason why he left the navy was because he saw the darkness, and now, it seems reasonable to want to investigate the darkness hidden deeper.

"In which area are the vigilantes more active now?" Altorun asked.

"The South China Sea, and our current tracking of these scholars has basically been locked in the South China Sea for the time being. Of course, we do not rule out that they also have activities in other sea areas. After all, the historical texts they investigated are scattered around the world." Spann Dyne said immediately.

"South China Sea?" Oltorun touched his chin and began to think about it.

The next two years in the South China Sea will be really unstable, and it will also change the fate of many people.

For example, Bartholomew Bear, he should have become a priest in the Solbe Kingdom in the South China Sea, and in a little more than a year, Dorag and Ivankov will Will lead the vigilantes to attack the Sorbei Kingdom.

This kind of attack on the country, with the current size of the self-reliant army, will definitely not be carried out immediately. There will definitely be various preparations in the early stage. It will take one year to make a big difference. , no wonder Ziyongjun was active in the South China Sea during this period.

Likewise, probably within the last month or two, Altoron believed that Roger should find Raff Drew and become the Pirate King.

After he disbanded the Roger Pirates, he went to Batlila Island in the South China Sea alone to marry Lujiu and have children.

Looking at it this way, Nanhai is indeed a good place.

It is possible to meet Dorag, Karp's villain, and it is also possible to investigate O'Hara's team of scholars.

For Ortolen, these are all secondary. The main thing is that by wandering around in the South China Sea, there is a high probability that Roger can be taken down as the next step for promotion!

As a rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters, he has already entered the rank of general officer. Naturally, he cannot mess around with what he wants to do and where he goes. For example, when going to the South China Sea, he must have a suitable excuse. Otherwise, he would suddenly run to the South China Sea, and then suddenly find Roger or something.

No matter how you think about it, it’s strange, right?

Just ordinary weirdness, that's it, it's not a big deal, it can be tolerated, but unfortunately, before Roger was executed, he also made a "Declaration of the Great Secret Treasure", which directly started the era of great pirates.

If this matter is linked to your strange behavior, what if people suspect that you are singing in an opera with Roger?

And by investigating the scholar's affairs, he got the reason to go to the South China Sea from Spangdyne, wandered around in the South China Sea, and then accidentally found Roger, so there would be no problem.

In terms of logic and details, there are no flaws that can be figured out.

But it was a bit early to go now, and Ortorun said: "Judging from these information, the South China Sea is indeed a place that needs special attention. In this way, let's first check the clues we have at hand to see if there are any more. If any new signs appear, if there is still little progress, I will personally lead the team and go to the South China Sea to see if there is any breakthrough there?"

"That's fine." Spangdyne didn't think there was anything wrong, and then said: "The superiors also know that this task is complicated and difficult, so they don't force us to give the results within a limited time, so you don't have to do this either. in a hurry..."

"Understood." Oltorun responded, then took out his phone and said: "Let's also leave our contact information. This way, if anything happens, we don't have to go around so much. We can contact you directly and let us know if we have any questions." Can."

Spangdine said happily: "I think so too, come on..."

For almost a week after that, Ortorun and Gion lived on Judiciary Island, analyzing and summarizing various intelligence data on the mission with Spangdine.

It wasn't until the end of the year that Ortoron and Gion took Rob Lucci back on the warship and returned to the Navy's headquarters, Marineford, for the New Year's Eve.

In the past few days, a serious and violent institution like the Navy Headquarters has been filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Everyone is saying goodbye to this turbulent year of 1496, and they are also full of hope and preparing to welcome the new arrival of 1497.

But Ortorun knew that in 1497, there was no peace because of Roger's becoming king, and immediately afterwards, the wave of the great pirate era, that treacherous twenty-year era, was about to hit.

Chapter 77 The big drama at the beginning of the new year: Roger becomes king!

Although the New Year just passed two days ago, the Navy Headquarters is still full of busy atmosphere. It is impossible for such a violent organization to give the entire Navy an annual holiday.

At this time, in General Sengoku's office, Ortorun was sitting on the sofa, chatting with General Sengoku.

"So based on the intelligence given by CP, the next step of the mission will focus on the South China Sea. I'm afraid I need to go to the South China Sea to conduct some investigation." Ortorun said these things.

However, his eyes were always fixed on the goat standing next to the desk, eating documents crazily.

"Really?" Warring States just finished processing a document in his hand and handed it to his little goat. While the goat calmly ate the document, Warring States said again: "You should be the first one." Going on a mission so far away from the headquarters. Although the South China Sea is not as good as the Grand Line, you should pay more attention..."

"I understand." Altoron nodded and responded softly.

Warring States glanced at Ortorun at this time, and then asked a little strangely: "Why do you always stare at my goat?"

"Ahem..." Oltorun coughed slightly unnaturally, and then said: "I heard that General, you have already raised it when you were a lieutenant general?"

When Warring States heard this, he said with some emotion: "Yes, so many years have passed in a flash, and it has eaten a lot of top-secret intelligence information of our navy, hahahaha."

"Isn't it said that the lifespan of a goat is usually about twelve years old? Isn't it... almost there?" Ortorun hesitated.

Warring States Period? ? ?

"No, what do you mean?" Zhan Guo asked confused.

"No matter how old you are, the meat won't taste good. General, I know a special cooking method for mutton, called mutton-shabu-shabu..." Ortorun slapped his thigh and said in a serious tone.

Warring States was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Strictly speaking, it is your senior in the navy, and you actually want to eat it?"

"Don't you, General, want to taste what this mutton that grew up eating Chinese herbal medicine and high-grade navy document paper tastes like? It might be one of the best delicacies in the world!" Oltorun said with a look of anticipation. .

The Warring States general, who was still a little angry at first, looked at his little goat again, touched his braid and said, "This...isn't this not good?"

"Make the best use of everything. As a navy, we must remain useful and safeguard justice. Medicinal supplements are not as good as food supplements. This is more beneficial to our health. Only when we are healthy can we better safeguard justice. As a navy, Old-timer, I think when the time is right, it will definitely be willing to sacrifice itself for our just cause." Ortorun said righteously.

Warring States was silent for a moment, and when he was about to speak, the door of the office was pushed open, and then Senior Staff Officer Ahe walked in with a serious face.

This situation interrupted the discussion between Altorun and Sengoku about how to cook goats. After Sengoku saw the expression of Chief Ahe, he frowned and said, "What's wrong? His expression is so serious?"

"Roger Pirates!" Chief Staff Officer Ahe said solemnly: "Roger Pirates have found the legendary final island of Ravdru. This news has begun to spread in the new world. It is said that They spread it themselves. In addition, we also observed their whereabouts. They seem to be converging with the Whitebeard Pirates. At this point in time, these two pirate groups are going to gather together. I'm afraid... It won’t be so quiet, right?”

"What!?" Sengoku stood up from his seat in surprise and said, "Raff Drew?"

"What's going on with Ravdru?" Altoron asked.

The Warring States General was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't know, actually, before Roger and others arrived at Shuixianxing Island a few years ago, we all thought that Shuixianxing Island was the so-called 'Final Island' , and when the Roger Pirates determined that after the Water Star Island, there was another island shrouded in a mysterious magnetic field, Mary Joa immediately asked us to raise the threat level of the Roger Pirates to the highest level. It was also because of this that we learned that after this, there really was an island named 'Lavdru'!"

Senior Staff Officer Ahe also explained: "We don't know much about Rafdru. The relevant information is strictly blocked by the top management of Mariejoia. It may be related to the war more than 800 years ago. According to revelations from higher-ups, once some news about Rafdru is spread, it will definitely bring chaos to the entire world... Although we don’t know whether this matter is true or false, and what the truth is, you should also understand. , it is better to maintain the status quo than to explore the unknown chaos..."
