Chapter 823 NEO Navy

...

A certain sea area in the first half of the Grand Route.

Uninhabited island, Riglusen.

Ten brand-new headquarters-class warships were lined up in a circle around the coastline of Riglusen Island. The new paint on the surface of the ships was shining brightly, flashing a "valuable" light in the sunset.

The poor little island was completely surrounded by ten headquarters-level warships. Looking at this situation, both those who knew and those who didn't would think that the navy was preparing to launch a terrifying demon-killing order!

However, a slightly more careful audience will soon discover that the overall appearance and color of these ten warships are very different from ordinary naval warships.

First of all, compared to the dark green camouflage paint of naval warships, the hull coating of these warships is a blue that is closer to the sky and the sea!

Secondly, the huge white sail on the mast is no longer printed with a blue seagull and a wrench, but a black seagull with its wings spread!

In addition, the word "NEO" representing new life has been added in front of "MARINE", which originally represents the navy.

...

"Hurry up, everyone! The sun is about to set!"

By a pond in the center of the island, a team of soldiers in blue uniforms were filling large wooden barrels with water to replenish sufficient fresh water resources for the fleet's subsequent voyage.

Riglusen is a desolate uninhabited island, and it is precisely because of the existence of this spring that passing ships are willing to choose to dock here.

In front of the temporary command post built on the west side of the pond, four figures were surrounding a campfire.

"Crack crack crack!"

The bonfire threw out sparks.

The four of them were either sitting or standing, discussing something seriously, and the setting sun stretched their shadows very long.

"What! Buggy the Clown occupied Beehive Island and announced his withdrawal from the Seven Warlords of the Sea to become the fifth emperor of the pirates? Did I buy a fake newspaper?"

Binz jumped up in surprise.

Next to him, Ain took out a bounty and placed it on the wooden block and said.

"33 billion Beli! The World Government has restored and increased the bounty on Buggy the Clown, so the news should be true."

Speaking of this, Ain couldn't help but frown.

"Are we also heading to the new world? Mr. Zefa, according to your previous analysis."

"If you want to find those dangerous pirates who escaped from the 1th floor of Infinite Hell, you must first find the Blackbeard Pirates who took advantage of the chaos to break into Impelton! And to find the prisoners who escaped from floors 5 to , you must first find the Buggy Pirates."

"Damn it!"

"No wonder we spent so much time searching in the first half. Not to mention those dangerous pirates who escaped from the Level 6 Infinite Hell, we didn't even find an ordinary prisoner who escaped from Impel Down! It turns out that those prisoners followed Buggy the Clown to the depths of the New World!"

Binz began to curse into the newspaper in his hand.

"The intelligence capability is too poor. This happened several days ago."

Beside the campfire, a tall and well-proportioned man in a black tight leather jacket flipped the steaks being grilled on a skewer and commented nonchalantly.

Aien raised his head, his eyes uncontrollably lingering on the man's handsome face.

His facial features were sharp, his eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were deep, his healthy tanned complexion made his face look more resolute, and his silver hair added a bit of cold and noble temperament.

"That's right, we should set up our own intelligence department as soon as possible!"

Zefa sat on the ground, took a sip of 53-degree boiled water, lowered his brows and thought, and after a long while he put down the bottle and asked.

"By the way, Ain, how many people have chosen to join our NEO Navy since we announced the recruitment until today?"

"Hmm? Ian?"

Seeing that his disciple was still in a daze, Zefa called out again.

"Ah! Mr. Zefa, I'm not hungry yet."

Ain, distracted, answered randomly.

"?"

"Ain, the teacher is asking how many people have joined us."

Binz kindly reminded.

"Uh! Mr. Zefa, you're asking this! Sorry, I misheard. Please wait a moment."

A blush appeared on Ain's face. He quickly took out the notebook he carried with him and quickly searched through it to cover up his embarrassment.

"Well, Mr. Zefa, since we published the recruitment notice in the newspaper, so far... so far, a total of 11 righteous people have chosen to join our NEO Navy..."

"Only eleven?"

Zefa looked a little surprised.

"In fact, apart from Mr. Jin, the remaining ten people are all shipwrights who were tricked into joining the ship in the Seven Water City on the grounds that the new warship needed maintenance. We specially selected those who have no family members. After spending some time with them... they all voluntarily chose to join us."

After Ian finished speaking, he felt that one kind of embarrassment had turned into another. In the past few months, he had spent 30 billion Baileys on advertising and promotion alone, but strictly speaking, he only recruited one person.

but.

He stole another glance at the embers by the campfire.

The girl thought to herself, if she could recruit someone as good as Mr. Jin... let alone 30 billion, even 100 billion would be worth it! Of course, it's all for the development of the organization! No selfish motives.

Zefa was also stunned when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, he, a former admiral and former chief instructor of the navy, resolutely chose to quit the navy in order to pursue the true "justice" in his heart, and establish a just navy that no longer needs to obey the orders of the world government to maintain world peace and justice!

Such an ambitious dream, but no one among the heroes on the sea responded?

Oh no, luckily there is one.

"I thought that with so many Baileys, things would be easy! I didn't expect that we would run into big trouble just at the beginning. What should we do? Teacher Zefa?"

Binz asked with a gloomy face.

"We only have a few hundred people now. Let alone setting up an intelligence department or other departments, it's already difficult to arrange enough people to operate these ten warships! Fortunately, we didn't buy more warships just because we had money, otherwise it would be embarrassing if we couldn't even drive them away."
