In addition to Gion, Ortorun has also contacted two guys, Huo Shaoshan and Kake. However, Huo Shaoshan is currently performing a secret mission and cannot escape in a short time, so he cannot come.
As for Jia Ji, he has now snuck into Garp's hands. Together, these two people are like rotten fish looking for rotten shrimps. They eat, drink, whore and gamble all day long. They have become a beautiful sight in the headquarters, and they are a bad duo. .
Kuzan, on the other hand, was promoted to lieutenant general and became a base commander. Now he no longer hangs out with Garp that old guy.
That guy Jia Ji was originally not interested in G-5, mainly because he didn't want to work under Ortorun, because he always felt that Ortorun was his love rival.
However, after Ortorun revealed that he had invited Gion to work here, and Gion had already agreed.
Jiaji agreed without saying a word, saying that he would report to Garp when he had time and come to G-5 as an outside assistant.
That is to say, in name, he is still a direct subordinate of Garp, but in fact, he will come to work in G-5. This is fine, it complies with the rules and regulations, and there is no need to be sneaky.
After receiving Jiaji's reply, Ortorun was also very emotional. This boiling sheep is really useful!
Speaking of which, the New World has been very lively in recent times. Moonlight Moria, Donquixote Doflamingo, Joracol Mihawk and others have begun to exert their efforts in the New World. , a lot of things happened. Today someone attacked Wang Zhi's Honeycomb Island, and tomorrow someone clashed with the Big Mom Pirates. The confrontation between the old and new forces has already begun to break out in the new world.
And it's not just the people in Ortoron's impression. Apart from Doflamingo and the others, there are also a large number of powerful pirates that Ortoron has no memory of at all. They are also making trouble in the new world. rain.
It is estimated that this group of people will either become the stepping stones for the Four Emperors in the future, or they will become the resources of the Four Emperors and be annexed.
But now, they are still very passionate and passionate.
For example, over at Yixiao, I have met a guy named Sluk Mingde many times. That guy is a superman with the ability to crush fruits. He is very arrogant and really powerful. He fought fiercely with Yixiao several times and was not killed. !
However, in this new world, there is really a force that is relatively transcendent, and that is the Whitebeard Pirates. Ever since Sand Crocodile Crocodile challenged Newgate and lost, there has been no more power for a long time. There is news about a powerful character challenging Whitebeard.
But the Whitebeard Pirates are also real fish. As long as no one provokes them, they don't seem to cause much trouble. Of course, the main ones here are the members of Whitebeard's group. The miscellaneous pirate groups under his command are still He is very active, causing trouble in various sea areas, and fighting with the pirates of the new era.
Occasionally, some powerful characters would trigger Newgate to personally come forward and adopt him as his adopted son or something.
Seeing that Ortolon had already made arrangements, Flying Squirrel did not press the matter any further. Instead, he continued to report: "As for our warship building, we first have to find a suitable island to build as a shipbuilding island. , this island cannot be too far away from our G-5 base, and we need to station troops on it for protection..."
"Do you have any suitable recommendations?" Ortoron asked.
"Yes, I have circled suitable islands on this chart. You can just pick one yourself." The flying squirrel directly took out a chart from the folder in his arms and placed it on Ortorun's table.
Ortorun nodded, put the chart away, and did not go to look at it immediately.
The Flying Squirrel was not surprised and continued: "But shipbuilding is not just about technology. We need a large amount of suitable wood, as well as various equipment such as machine tools. This is not the most important thing. I did a survey. It is estimated that once the shipbuilding plan is launched, our financial pressure will be very high. Just smiling and killing pirates will not be able to maintain the operation of the shipbuilding department. We need a more stable source of funds!"
When it comes to funds, Ortorun is a little confused. He is not a professional, and he really doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are.
The previous "troops stationing in various countries" plan can only solve certain problems in terms of military resources and military expenditures. However, the G-5 headquarters' military expenditures still need to be solved by themselves. The Navy headquarters will not provide you with support, so you can only rely on it. Plundering pirates, in this part, being able to maintain a balance of payments is already considered very good.
Where can I find the money left to build ships?
Ortorun actually thought about activating the Golden Land on Sky Island...but in the end, he suppressed this idea. It was not suitable. The current G-5 is not so capable of eating. Once this terrifying amount of money is exposed, it will be very troublesome.
"In terms of funding channels, do you have any good ideas or suggestions?" Altorun rubbed his forehead and asked irritably.
The flying squirrel was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, but maybe the reputation is not very good..."
"How do you say that?" Ortorun asked with a raised brow.
reputation? What is reputation? Is it important to have money?
"Protection fee!" Flying Squirrel said in a deep voice.
Ortorun was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Aren't we always collecting protection fees? Garrisoning troops is a type of protection fee, but since they have already been stationed, it would be a bit unethical to ask for a price. , I guess those princes and nobles are not so easy to let go..."
"I'm not talking about the garrison's protection fee. What I mean is that we can start the commercial travel protection fee and levy protection fees and tolls on merchant ships passing through the waters within our jurisdiction..." Flying Squirrel said with a somewhat evasive look. .
After hearing this, Oltorun was silent for a moment and then said: "Your boy's bottom line is getting lower and lower... Isn't this really a pirate who blocks the road?"
Pirates are not always the kind of vicious people who want to kill everyone. Big pirates who are a little more mature know how to fish in a sustainable way.
For caravans that are hunted by them, they usually withdraw a part of the funds as 'protection fees'. As long as the money is paid, people are allowed to pass.
After all, if you kill all these caravans, who will dare to come again in the future?
No one is here, why do you continue to suck blood?
Hearing this, Flying Squirrel also said helplessly: "What else can we do? I'm not a business genius. The only solutions I can think of are these bad ideas..."
"If we expand the scale of this shipbuilding industry, while building warships, can we also bring conventional ships with us and start a ship-selling business? Is this possible?" Ortorun pondered for a moment. asked.
"I don't know. I haven't studied this before. If you ask me, I still need to find a business talent. I'm really confused about the funding problem. We are all big bosses. How can we understand this? "The flying squirrel said very helplessly.
After hearing this, Ortorun scratched his head, looked at the chart that the flying squirrel had placed on the table just now, and set his sights on the Chambord Islands... He didn't know about Gilder Tezzolo either. , are you there now?
Why don't you take some time to take a look?
Chapter 140 The Revolutionary Army is established and Crocodile becomes one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
The end of the first half of the Great Line, the Chambord Islands.
This is an archipelago formed by the world's largest mangrove, the Archipelago mangrove. It has a total of 79 branches, forming 79 similar islands.
The Chambord Islands is a very special place. It is close to the Red Continent and is the terminal island for the first half of the Great Line. If you want to enter the new world, you can either make connections and go from the Chambord Islands to Mary Joa and cross the Red Continent, or Plating on the Shampoo Islands, snorkeling to Fish-Man Island, and passing through Fish-Man Island to enter the new world.
Other than that, there is nothing that can be called 'conventional'.
At the same time, this island is also an island directly under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Dragons. It can be regarded as Marie Joa's back garden. The Celestial Dragons often come here to play, and then kill some unlucky people, seize other people's wives, or buy some slaves. of.
Because it is the end point of the first half of the Great Line, evil parties from all sea areas gather here all year round, including but not limited to slave-catching teams from the dark world, ferocious pirates, mafia, etc. The smoky atmosphere on islands 1 to 29 of the archipelago has formed a lawless zone on the island.
At this time, on Island 13, Oltorun was holding a newspaper and walking in this lawless zone.
The lawless zone is really chaotic. Altorun has walked all the way from the port and has seen four fights between evil gangs. They were so brutal that he felt very 'frightened'. It was really too violent here. .
But his attention now is not on these chaos, but on the newspapers. Big events have happened in the past two days.
The Kingdom of Sorbey in the South China Sea was conquered by the Volunteer Army. Subsequently, the leader of the Volunteer Army, Monchi D. Dorag, publicly announced in the newspaper that their Volunteer Army would officially change its name to the 'Revolutionary Army' starting today. , and also read out their program and so on in newspapers.
There are hundreds of eloquent words, but in the end, it can be simplified to the following words: "I want to create a rebellion against the world's officialdom, hang all the Celestial Dragons on Mariejoia, and restore peace to the world."
As soon as the revolutionary army's declaration came out, the whole world was shaken by it. Although he had not received the news yet, Altoron could even imagine the shock and anger of the nobles on Mariejoia.
However, the revolutionary army led by Dorag has now openly declared that it is an enemy of the World Government, and bluntly stated that their main goal is to overthrow the rule of the World Government by the Celestial Dragons on Mary Joa.
But in fact, he is not the pioneer of this kind of thing. Altorun is no longer a country bumpkin who just came to this world and knows only a little about it. He is an elite talent trained by the Navy.
The results in the cultural class are very good!
In Ortorun's impression, organizations like the Revolutionary Army had appeared many times during the more than 800 years under the rule of the World Government.
Almost every one or two hundred years, such an anti-world official organization appears.
And Ortorun, who learned this information at the beginning, was not surprised, because this is normal. If the World Government has been established for more than 800 years, only Dolag and the revolutionary army have caused trouble, then It’s incredible, because the rule that represents the world’s official government is so popular!
However, judging from the fact that the world government is still standing here in Mariejoia, and those organizations that once announced that they would hang the Celestial Dragons have all disappeared, it is obvious that in these several struggles, in the end, Those who win are the rulers of the world.
"So I'm afraid that soon, the world government will introduce a series of policy measures to curb the development of the revolutionary army. They are experienced..." Oltorun looked at the photos of the members of the revolutionary army in the newspaper and said, Couldn't help but sigh.
The people in the photos showed off their looks unscrupulously, as if they were afraid that the world's government would not be able to see their faces clearly.
Standing in the C position is Garp's eldest son, Dolag, the scapegoat of Altorun.
There were also several members who looked a little immature, but would become commanders of various armies of the Revolutionary Army in the future, as well as Ivankov, the co-founder of Dorag.
But these are not the focus of Altorun's attention. What he focuses on is Ginny with a smile on his face and Bartholomew Bear with a serious and calm expression.
Sure enough, even though Altoron had changed a lot of Dorag's trajectory, in the end, Bartholomew Bear and Ginny still chose to join the Revolutionary Army.
In fact, according to the intelligence received by Ortorun, the breaking news originally planned in today's newspaper was not about the revolutionary army, but about the first king to conquer the Shichibukai.
Crocodile Crocodile, who had previously failed to challenge Whitebeard Edward Newgate, resulting in the loss of an arm and the betrayal of his crew, was invited to join the Shichibukai Organization.
Became the first king of the Shichibukai!
This represents the formal implementation of the King's Shichibukai system, and also represents a further decline in the integrity of the world's official government.
Originally, this matter was very explosive and should have caused an uproar at sea. However, looking at it now, Dorag's revolutionary army is obviously more eye-catching. After all, Crocodile did not dare to openly say in the newspaper that he wanted to hang himself. Celestial beings or something.
Just as Ortorun was reading the news in the newspaper, the phone bug he carried in his pocket rang.
Bulu Bulu~~~
Altorun casually closed the newspaper, took out the phone and took a look at it. He raised his eyebrows and said with a little surprise: "Doflamingo?"
Without hesitation, Oltorun picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Fufufufufufufu, Lieutenant General Ban, good afternoon, have you paid attention to the news today?" Doflamingo asked with his unique and iconic laugh.
Ortorun also smiled and said: "I'm watching it, it's really interesting."
"Yeah, it's very interesting. The world is changing every day. If I can't adjust my state quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with this chaotic era..." Doflamingo joked One sentence.
After the two casually exchanged a few words, Doflamingo asked: "How much do you know, Lieutenant General Ben, about the affairs of the King's Shichibukai?"
"Oh..." Ortorun responded with a pretense of reserve, and then said: "The World Government plans to select seven great pirates with sufficient reputation and strength to recruit and incorporate them into the King's Shichibukai Organization. The purpose is to absorb the power of pirates and use it to slow down the devastating blow caused by the great pirate era. It feels a bit like 'using thieves to defeat thieves'..."
"Then do you think there is a future for King Shichibukai?" Doflamingo thought for a while and then asked.
"Hehehe..." Ortorun laughed twice and said, "It depends on who comes to sit in this position."
If someone like Moonlight Moria sits on it, can it be said that there is a future?
Doflamingo smiled and said, "Do you think I have this chance? Is it appropriate?"
"To be honest, you are not qualified for the reputation and strength of being a pirate, so if you want to become the King of the Shichibukai, you still need to work hard to do something big and prove your 'cruelty', Dovron Brother Ming..." Ortorun said.
That's right, despite Doflamingo's performance in King Shichibukai in the future, he will be pretty good, but in fact, he is just a little Karami now.
This is also the reason why Crocodile looks down on Doflamingo. Crocodile has been making trouble in the New World for a long time. At a young age, he dared to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates.
Although he lost the battle, it was actually what everyone expected. It would be wrong if he won!
This defeat actually did not affect Crocodile's prestige in the pirate industry. After all, not everyone can survive after challenging the Whitebeard Pirates.
From this point alone, Crocodile has already performed very well.
In comparison, Doflamingo is at best a 'little bastard' from the North Sea. He has not done anything impressive in the pirate industry, so Doflamingo wants to To become the King of the Shichibukai, as Altoron said, fame and strength are not enough, you need to prove it!
On the other side of the phone bug, in a certain sea area of the New World, on the Flamingo, Doflamingo squatted under the mast, listening to Altoren's answer on the other side of the phone bug, raised his hand and touched his chin and said: "Yes. ? It seems that I still have many shortcomings..."
"But I personally think that you are a very capable and skillful guy. If you can take over the identity of King Shichibukai, it will indeed be a very suitable position for you... It should bring you a lot benefits and help." Altoron encouraged Doflamingo again.
Doflamingo felt a little relieved, as this boss still thought highly of him.
However, before Doflamingo could be humble, Altoron continued: "But your status is quite special. People on Mariejoia may not be happy to see you prosper, so you want to The difficulty in becoming a Shichibukai is not the navy. As a partner, as long as you can show me enough value, I can help you with the navy. But the problems of the nobles on Mariejoia Pride and Prejudice, you need to solve it yourself..."
When Altoron said this, he was still thinking in his mind. Doflamingo is also a man, so he should understand what he means, right?
He is very short of money now. If the Don Quixote family is willing to donate generously and support him, then Altoron wouldn't mind 'selling' the position of the King's Shichibukai to Doflamingo.
Chapter 141 Void Debt Collection Altoron!
Altorun mentioned Doflamingo's special status and the keyword Mary Joa.
On the other side of the phone, Doflamingo's eyes darkened under his sunglasses, and even the evil smile on his face became a little ferocious.
He was supposed to be a high-ranking Celestial Dragon, but now he was struggling in the quagmire.
I saw in the newspaper today that the revolutionary army established by that guy Dorag announced that he would hang all the Dracos on Mariejoia. Doflamingo even felt a little bit like joining Dorag's command. .
That's right, he, Donquixote Doflamingo, the blood descendant of twenty kings, now also wants to drag all those high-ranking Celestial Dragons into this quagmire, and then hang them!
After a moment of silence and adjusting his emotions, Doflamingo put that evil smile on his lips again and said, "I don't know what you think of me, Lieutenant General Ben... Does it show enough value?”
Doflamingo felt that he could still handle the matter regarding Mariejoia.
However, his relationship with the Navy has always been a bit tense, and he does not have enough connections in the Navy to change anything. Now that Ben Altolen is willing to mediate, he is naturally quite happy to accept it.
"Prepare 5 billion beli for me and send the money to G-. As long as you can handle Mariejoia's side, I will immediately arrange for you to become the king of the Shichibukai!" Altoren thought. Without thinking, he just asked for money.
Doflamingo and everyone were stunned for a moment, no, are you so loud?
Those who know understand that you are a vice-admiral, but those who don’t know think you are a marshal!
"Twenty billion is not a small amount..." Doflamingo came back to his senses and wanted to bargain.
However, Altoren said with a smile: "Doflamingo, for an evil party like you that controls more than half of the dark world in the North Sea, 20 billion beli may not be a small amount, but it is not a small amount either. It’s a sky-high price that you can’t get, right?”
After all, Ortorun was a man who had been hanging out with Garp for a while, and he also learned some of that guy's shamelessness.
So before Doflamingo could speak again, Altoron continued: "With 20 billion, you can't suffer a loss or be fooled. After all, you paid 20 billion, as long as you take Mariejoia. If you can get through all the connections, I can arrange for you to become the King of the Shichibukai. But if you don’t pay the 20 billion, even if you get through the connections with Marie Joa, I can still prevent you from becoming the King of the Shichibukai! "
Doflamingo's face twitched unnaturally for a moment after hearing this, and he said in a deep voice: "Seriously, Lieutenant General Ben, if you break away from the Navy and become a pirate, a villain or something, you will definitely It’s very promising.”
He, Doflamingo, has been a bully in the North Sea for so many years, and now he has joined the pirate industry. He has thought about many things that may happen to him, but he never expected that he would be killed for the first time. The extortion came from the Navy!
"Hey~" Oltorun said in a frivolous tone: "With your ancestral skills and your connections and intelligence network, I guess you know whose blood is flowing in me, right?"
