Chapter 485 The power of life and death, the beast outside the cage! (Two in one)

When Ben Beckman and Shanks and others met up, the child Uta had already cried and told all the crew what had just happened.

Although this child was broad-minded, the young Uta still couldn't stand such a shock. Although Shanks tried his best to change the subject and let Uta not think about what had just happened, the little girl couldn't stop crying.

The crying made the crew of the Red Hair Pirates very distressed, and they all shouted to vent their anger on Uta. If they didn't know that the deputy captain Shells went to deal with it, these people would have rushed out long ago.

Therefore, when the crew saw Beckman coming back with a spear, they immediately asked about the situation with concern:

"Beckman, how is it? Have you dealt with it?"

"It took you some time! Are there any difficult people among the new navy who intend to kill Uta?"

Hearing his companions asking, Beckman shook his head gently and replied:

"No, I encountered some small troubles."

Seeing him shaking his head to deny, all the crew members were stunned for a moment, and even Shanks, who was comforting Uta, looked at Beckman with some surprise. He didn't expect Beckman to fail.

"Jinbei, the new naval base commander of Fishman Island, has arrived."

"The fishman who ordered the killing of Uta was saved."

Beckman said nonchalantly, and everyone heard his words, and the confusion in their eyes became even greater. They knew this vice captain on their ship very well. With Beckman's strength, such a situation should not have occurred.

Shanks was thoughtful. After looking at Beckman, he understood what Beckman was thinking. He nodded slightly, clapped his hands and said to the crew:

"Okay, if he didn't succeed, he didn't succeed. That guy was lucky."

"Next time we meet, we will kill him to vent our anger on Uta."

"All of you, don't stand here. Find a place to hide the boat first."

"After hiding the boat, let's go to Ryugu City and negotiate with King Neptune."

As he spoke, Shanks gently stroked Uta's head and said with a smile: "Okay, don't cry. I just told you not to run around. You should be obedient now."

"Come on, I'll take you to see Ryugu City. That place is so beautiful, and there are mermaids~"

Uta is at an age when she is very active. After hearing what Shanks said, she was also full of curiosity about Ryugu City, but she had no interest in the mermaids Shanks mentioned.

"There are no mermaids!"

"I want to see mermaids!"

Uta sniffed and rolled her eyes at Shanks, which made Shanks laugh.

Seeing that Uta stopped crying, the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates cheered. The young Uta was already the "group pet" of their Red Hair Pirates. Her emotions would affect the emotions of everyone on the ship.

After "repelling" Ben Beckman, Jinbei immediately checked the fish-man navy who were stunned by Shanks's domineering aura, and found that only one of his subordinates was killed, and the others were intact.

After listening to the cause and effect of the incident from Xiaoba, who woke up first, Jinbei asked his subordinates to collect the bodies of their companions and hurriedly led the team back to the branch base.

Although he knew that the Red Hair Pirates had "invaded" Fishman Island, Jinbei did not stupidly crash into it.

Before, when he was in the sea, he was able to lead the team to intercept the Red Hair Pirates, but now the Red Hair Pirates have landed on the island. With the power of their branch, they may not be able to deal with these pirates.

And there are some things that make Jinbei a little concerned.

In the office of the head of the Fishman Island branch base, Jinbei called Arlong, Xiaoba and two lieutenant officers under Arlong with a gloomy face, and asked with a gloomy face:

"The 'invader' you found is a little girl under ten years old?"

"So. What is the reason that drove you to kill directly?"

"Who of you can answer my question?"

Jinbei's face is a little ugly. The new navy has a system. Whenever there are casualties in the branch, the chief officers at all levels need to report all the causes and consequences in detail to the headquarters. They need to report the entire battle process to the headquarters, and also explain the "mental journey" when issuing orders at that time.

The main reason why Jiguo Yuanyi came up with such a system is to let the commanders reflect on the mistakes they made in the decision-making process through such a review.

At the same time, the teachers of the headquarters' naval school will also analyze these battles and teach them to the students of the naval school as cases to accelerate their growth.

The greater the loss, the more detailed the analysis will be. Similarly, the greater the results, the more detailed the analysis will be.

The casualty rate of the fish-man navy of Jinbei's branch in previous years is the lowest among all the new navy units. Jinbei cherishes the life of every subordinate.

It is precisely because of this that Jinbei will lose his temper.

It is against the rules to rashly fight with pirates of the level of Shichibukai without orders.

The reason for such regulations is not because their new navy is afraid of Shichibukai, but to protect the front-line soldiers from making unnecessary sacrifices.

Could it be that Ji Guoyuan asked the grassroots sergeants to catch those big pirates with hundreds of millions of bounties on their heads? This does not reflect the bravery of their new navy sergeants. It can only reflect the stupidity of the commander and let his men lose their lives in vain.

Jinbei is a kind person, but when he becomes serious, he still gives people a very strong sense of oppression.

When Xiaohachi and the other lieutenants heard Jinbei's question, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Jinbei or speak.

Only Aaron, after hearing Jinbei's question, raised his head and scratched his neck and said: "Captain of the base, it was me who gave the order."

"Those humans are pirates. As a navy, isn't it natural for us to take action against pirates?

"Why, is there still a problem with my decision?"

"My original intention was to catch him first, but the little pirate tried to call for help from his companions."

"That's why I made this decision."

"Yes, we are indeed no match for the red-haired pirates, but is it because the other party is strong that we just sit back and ignore it?"

When Aaron said these words, he was very emotional and looked awe-inspiring. Xiaoba and others standing next to him were all infected by Aaron's "integrity" and nodded frequently when they saw Aaron's appearance. , indicating approval.

When Jinbei heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and took a deep breath. For a while, he really couldn't find an angle to refute Aaron.

Yes, it is indeed important to protect yourself and not make unnecessary sacrifices. It is also considered one of the "iron rules" in the new navy.

but

There is nothing wrong with an excellent navy like Aaron who is "sonorous and upright" in order to nip possible dangers in the cradle.

Thinking of this, Jinbei's tone couldn't help but soften: "Aaron, you don't have to be so excited. I never said there was anything wrong with your decision-making."

"But one thing I must remind you is that as an officer, you must be responsible for your own decisions."

"If you rush into battle with the Shichibukai before you are fully prepared, you will be the one who dies!"

"If I hadn't come quickly, you would have been dead right now!"

"Once you die, there is nothing left!"

Jinbei's purpose of holding this small meeting was completely derailed by Aaron, and his serious expression could no longer be maintained at this time.

He is an upright and serious person, and it is his integrity and seriousness that give him his fatal flaw as a superior.

"As long as I can protect the people of Fish-Man Island, I will have no regrets even if I die on the battlefield!"

Aaron occupied the moral high ground, beating his chest with determination on his face.

Having said this, Jinbei had no choice but to say anything more. After confirming what happened from their mouths, he let them leave.

"Aaron. He is really a brave and determined guy!" Jinbe muttered and praised after Aaron and others left.

After quickly recalling the information in his mind, Jinbei grabbed the phone bug.

Jinbei's direct leader has been replaced by Yixiao, and he is now regarded as a general under Yixiao.

Jiguo Yuanyi has rarely been directly responsible for certain things in recent years. What he has to do is more to control the general direction. As the system of the new navy becomes more and more perfect, many things in Yuanyi's hands are also divided. Leave it to others to do and implement.

What Yuanyi usually does most is practice swordsmanship and meditate.

When one's strength has grown to the level of Jiguoyuanyi, it is very difficult to make further progress. Behind every improvement in strength is unimaginable practice and training.

Jiguo Enichi knew very well that no matter how big the New Navy's stall was, only a few people could ultimately influence the direction of the world.

It was still noon when Jinbei reported the battle report to the headquarters. The person who answered the phone at Yixiao was not Yixiao himself, but Yixiao's attendant.

The content of Jinbei's report will be recorded by the attendant, and then forwarded to the Information Department, where it will be analyzed and archived by specialized personnel.

Jinbei obviously also had a clear grasp of the battle reporting process on this end, and he explained the matter clearly in just ten minutes.

"Major General Jinbei, I have received your message."

"It concerns the Shichibukai. I will report this information immediately after General Yixiao returns."

"As for your request for support, I will inform you of the result as soon as I get a reply from General Yixiao."

The attendant asked a few detailed questions during Jinbei's report. In addition, he kept recording and listening silently without expressing his own opinions.

After the report, the aide hung up the phone after a few official replies.

It wasn't until the busy tone on the phone rang that Jinbei quietly breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.

All Nations, Cake Island.

Just as the attendant of Yixiao hung up the phone, the door of the office was pushed open. Yixiao, wearing a purple training uniform, tapped the ground with his cane, opened the door and walked into the office.

He seemed to have just gone through a fierce battle. The current climate in Wan Guo is not hot. On the contrary, because it is an island, the temperature on the island can be considered cool, but at this time, his face was covered with sweat and his hair was covered with sweat. Soggy.

Ichixiao was still steaming when he entered the office. After putting down his cane, he walked to the clothes rack, wiped his sweat with a towel, and asked his attendant:

"Did anything important happen during my absence?"

Hearing Ichixiao's question, the young attendant jumped up from his chair, quickly grabbed the recording telephone bug at hand, and reported:

"Yes, Mr. Ichixiao."

"Major General Jinbei, the head of the Fishman Island Naval Branch Base, just reported something."

"Seven Warlords of the Sea, Red-haired Shanks and his crew appeared in the Fishman Island Island."

"Major General Jinbei led the team in the deep sea to intercept the enemy, but failed, allowing the other side to land on Fishman Island smoothly."

"At the same time, Major General Jinbei's subordinates had an encounter with the crew of the Red Hair Pirates. One lieutenant was killed and no one was injured."

"I have recorded the details."

Hearing the names of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and Red Hair Shanks, Yixiao paused in wiping his sweat, and a serious look appeared on his face: "Just play it, I want to know what happened on Fishman Island."

Yixiao walked slowly behind the desk with a towel, sat on the chair, and spoke to the attendant.

With the power of the new navy now, there are indeed not many things in the world that can make them pay attention. There is no doubt that the appearance of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is enough to make the senior officials of the new navy pay attention.

"Yes!"

The attendant said, and played the recording just now for Yixiao.

Yixiao listened carefully to Jinbei's battle report and heard a lot of problems from it.

"The invading pirates killed a lieutenant, but spared the other sergeants."

"When facing Jinbei, stop in time."

"Such behavior is really strange!"

"Red-haired Shanks's purpose is not clear. Is he just passing by?" Yixiao heard Jinbei's report, tapping the table with one hand, thinking quickly in his heart.

Just as Yixiao was thinking carefully, the young attendant whispered:

"Mr. Yixiao, Major General Jinbei hopes that the headquarters will send strong men to Fishman Island to help suppress the pirates."

"Relying on the strength of the Fishman Island branch, I'm afraid we can't deal with the Seven Warlords and his crew."

"I think we can send strong men from the headquarters to assist. If the Seven Warlords make trouble on Fishman Island, the consequences will be disastrous."

When communicating with Yixiao, it seems that the attendant is not as "mechanical" as in the previous phone call, and will express his own ideas.

All the aides of the generals are young navy officers with excellent qualifications. This position, on the one hand, assists the generals in handling affairs, and is also an "internship" position. Young people in this position can express their ideas without reservation.

In this regard, both Yixiao and Yuanyi encourage young people to try more and take more responsibilities.

"Hmm"

"Something is wrong."

"The Red Hair Pirates' actions are strange. It seems that they are deliberately avoiding the escalation of the conflict."

"Call Rear Admiral Jinbei. I want to talk to him directly."

"The Red Hair Pirates are a little different from ordinary pirates. Even if we want to arrest them, the location cannot be on Fishman Island."

"Let's see if we can negotiate first."

"Even for the pirate group, we need to analyze the specific situation."

"It is always unreasonable to rashly kill a little girl who has no fighting ability."

"This matter is not that simple. Send this battle report to Yoriichi."

"We cannot ignore the potential threat of pirates, nor can we ignore our dead companions, but at the same time, we also need to reflect on our own behavior at all times. Is it worthy of the name we bear and the people who are full of expectations for us!"

Yixiao looked serious, but he did not have much protection for the damaged new navy in his words.

Hearing Yixiao's words, the aide-de-camp was a little confused. He did not realize the danger hidden behind this matter.

The main point that the aide grasped was "Their navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea have a conflict, this is a big deal!"

But Yixiao didn't take the conflict with the Seven Warlords of the Sea to heart at all. His focus was on the fact that a grassroots officer like Arlong killed an unidentified girl without orders from his superiors.

"Has the power of the grassroots navy been so great?!"

This is a very scary thing. Yixiao, who is blind but clear-minded, has realized that there seems to be something wrong with the system of the new navy.
