Chapter 132 Rejection of Blind Date
...
The World Government treated the complaints from these member states coldly as usual, and even didn't want to pay any attention to them at all, and just said:
I don't care about the process, I only care about the result! If you don't have money, you can find a way yourself, but if anyone dares not to pay or pay less Tian Shang Jin, the consequences will be very serious. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try!
The rulers of the member states hate the shameless behavior of the World Government which only takes money but does not do anything, but due to the fear of force, no one dares to complain any more. These superiors want to pay less money, not because they are begging for the people. What they care about is whether their extravagant lives will be affected.
Seeing that things were hopeless, they turned their swords against the weaker ones and began to increase their exploitation. All kinds of exorbitant taxes were imposed on the civilians, making life even more difficult for the people.
If they are robbed by pirates, no one will protect them and they will either lose their property or their life, or even lose everything.
Having managed to survive with great difficulty in this situation, they still had to face the increasingly excessive exploitation of the rulers. This world was simply not a place for people to survive, so they were forced to go out to sea and become pirates, transferring the disaster to other people. As a result, more people encountered misfortune and more people were forced to become pirates. This vicious cycle continued over and over again, and a wave of fanatical pirates was rapidly forming.
Of course, what we are talking about here are ordinary people who are forced to become thieves, but among pirates, most of them are evil people who take the initiative to do business without any cost.
The situation is chaotic and pirates are rampant.
The World Government immediately put pressure on the Navy, using the same old method:
If the member states submit less Heavenly Gold next year due to the rampant pirates, the funds used to maintain the noble Celestial Dragons' food, drink and entertainment will definitely not be reduced, so at that time you will have no choice but to cut your navy's military spending.
Zhan Guo couldn't understand the World Government's train of thought. Shouldn't they increase military spending and expand the army in the current situation to quickly improve the navy's strength so that they can suppress the sea? They actually cut the navy's military spending in order not to affect the enjoyment of those rubbish. What a bunch of old fools!
For this reason, Admiral Sengoku had a quarrel with Admiral Steelbone Sora in the office, and it ended with Steelbone Sora saying:
"Zhan Guo! You will understand when you sit in my position one day!"
The argument ended with the smashing of a desk.
Sengoku collected his thoughts and asked Den Den Mushi:
"Where exactly are you now?"
"Well, I just arrived in the Kingdom of Alabasta, and I'm planning on traveling and taking a vacation. I plan to set sail next month."
The corners of Zhan Guo's mouth twitched when he heard this. He wondered if this kid was deliberately trying to piss him off. They had just said that they were very anxious about this matter, and this bastard immediately said that he was going on vacation.
But after all, he was asking for help, so Zhan Guo took a deep breath to calm himself down and asked:
"Can you set sail earlier? This matter is quite urgent right now. How can you have the chance to meet a suitable target while you are on vacation in Alabasta? We will also increase our efforts to collect intelligence in the nearby waters. If a suitable target appears, we will notify you as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll do my best, but you two, this is not something I can decide. There are so many pirates worth over 100 million in the first half of the year. It's harder to meet one in the vast ocean than to win the lottery jackpot."
"Well, we will also quickly investigate which pirates with high bounties are in the first half of the Grand Line, and help you lock on to your target as soon as possible."
Vice Admiral Tsuru remembered something and continued:
"By the way, the people we arranged here should be in the first half of the sea area now. In order to deal with unexpected situations, we have secretly arranged a swordsman-level navy admiral to escort the ship. If you encounter very difficult pirates here, you can contact us and I will arrange for them to support you."
Before Gel could say anything, Moria on the side rolled his eyes and pursed his lips, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Boss Daoger is so powerful that he can even fool the navy. From this, we can tell that the navy has no idea of their true strength and actually thinks that the navy with the strength of a swordsman can help them.
Putting aside the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Moriah is now at the level of a swordsman in terms of swordsmanship alone, and with the blessing of the Supreme Sword, he is definitely one of the strongest swordsmen. Coupled with the powerful and strange ability of the Devil Fruit, his overall strength is no less than that of a pure swordsman at the level of a great swordsman.
Recently, Gur has been forcing Moriah to not only develop the ability of the devil fruit, but also to take into account domineering magic and swordsmanship, so as to strive to break through the great swordsman as soon as possible. Moriah's ability is very suitable for being an assassin. The Shadow-Shadow Fruit can create many good opportunities for him to kill with one blow. As an assassin, the key is to have high burst damage. If the attack can only scratch, it is useless to have only body skills and positioning.
"Okay, thank you Aunt He, I'll find you when I need help!"
After finishing the serious business, Gel chatted with Lieutenant General He for a while. With Gel's mouth, a man from the 21st century, he must have made her happy, which made Zhan Guo on the side a little envious. Over the years, the usually serious and cold Ah He rarely smiled so much.
In the end, Vice Admiral He even started asking about Gel's age and marital status, as if he was going to introduce a partner to Captain Gel. Gel suddenly felt like he was going home for the New Year and being urged to get married and introduced to blind dates by his aunts and uncles. He quickly found a reason to hang up the phone and ended this dangerous topic.
"Crack!"
"Hehehe, Boss, are we actually the navy?"
Seeing that Geer hung up the phone, Moria couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
Gel took out several Den Den Mushi from his body and fed them something, while replying:
"That's not the case. It's just a temporary cooperative relationship based on common interests. We share some intelligence and help them occasionally. The Navy will also give us some conveniences. We can be considered to be using each other."
To be honest, if the navy wasn't too unfree and had to obey the orders of the World Government and those garbage Celestial Dragons, then being a navy would be a pretty good choice. It's pretty comfortable to stay within the system, slack off at work, punch in on time after get off work, and get paid every month.
Gel suddenly remembered the common wish of countless young people in his previous life. It was not to find a great treasure and become the Pirate King, but to find a stable job within the system.
"Well! As long as the World Government exists, the Navy is not suitable for us. Besides, the Navy has no room for talents like you! You are all smart and speak well. We should just live our own lives."
"Hehehe, the boss is right! No one can lead us except you, the captain."
Moria nodded and smiled in agreement. He just asked casually and didn't really care.
“Crack, crack, crack, crack!”
I put a pile of feed on the table, and a few little Den Den Mushi started to nibble on it in a circle. It was just like watching the silkworms I raised eating mulberry leaves when I was a child. The sound was very relaxing to hear.
