Chapter 3 Bigwigs in the East China Sea

"Oh oh oh, is that so? I understand, don't worry, I will take care of it."

"You have been promoted to brigadier general? Congratulations very much, Colonel Sean. No, you should be called brigadier general Sean now. Will you be transferred to the new world next? Congratulations, congratulations. We will see you in the new world when we have the opportunity. The new colonel in Rogge Town? I’ve got it figured out, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

Xia Che threw the hung up phone to Miss Robin beside him, then frowned and fell into deep thought.

The call just now was made to his partner, Brigadier General Sean, the former director of the Rogge Town base.

Although Brigadier General Sean is not very powerful, he is not pedantic and will not abide by the so-called absolute justice, but he is not too corrupt and greedy.

According to him, he is just an ordinary person with only that much ability. As long as he can protect his jurisdiction and the civilians within his jurisdiction, that's all.

He and Brigadier General Sean had worked well together for so many years. To be honest, Sean's departure still made Xia Che a little reluctant.

As for the so-called inspection team... According to the information sent to him by Brigadier Sean, it seems that during this period, he has been resisting a group of extremely vicious pirates - the Mock Pirates to collect military expenses. It will take several years, so , making the superiors suspect that he was cheating on military expenses.

After all, the Navy Headquarters is aware of the situation in the East China Sea.

Thanks to a certain naval hero who always went back to his hometown to visit his relatives, there was no overly powerful pirate group in this sea area.

And what about their 16th branch?

In the past few years, no pirate group has been caught. I only caught one pirate group and chased it for nearly three years, chasing the pirate group from zero bounty to 30 million.

Moreover, in the past three years, they have been crying out for poverty, heavy losses, and old equipment, demanding three full years of military expenditures.

They have been chasing a pirate group for so many years, and they are such a powerful pirate. If the other branches don't make trouble, they just catch 16 of your branches and bully them?

You are even strong enough to enter the Great Channel, but you just don’t want to go?

What's going on?

What a great hatred!

Therefore, after asking for military expenses many times, the superiors also discovered that something was wrong. After discussions with relevant departments, the superiors seriously suspected that their 16th branch was cheating them of military expenses!

"What should I do? What should I do? I heard that the Navy Inspectorate has arrived at the 16th branch!" Nami walked around in a panic, looked at Xia Che who was meditating, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and said , "Let's go to the sea! How about we go to the sea and become pirates together! I will control the boat and we will run away together. With my skills, I will definitely be able to avoid the navy's pursuit!"

As he spoke, he raised his head in despair.

"I don't want to be locked up in jail at such a young age~"

However.

After hearing Nami's words, Xia Che looked at her with strange and comforting eyes and said, "Don't worry, even if you want to arrest me, you will only arrest me. You are just a sergeant in the branch, and you have not registered with the headquarters. I guess the Navy I didn’t even know you were a sergeant in Branch 16.”

Neither Robin nor Nami has registered. Robin's reason is...her identity, while Nami hasn't had time to report it yet.

Moreover, the sergeant of the branch is completely insignificant to the headquarters. It doesn't matter whether he is reported to the police or not, and he does not go to the headquarters for further training.

The words fell.

"What are you talking about?" Nami seemed to be angered by Xia Che's words, and grabbed Xia Che's collar angrily, "You are still saying this even though I am so worried, you did not invite me to be your My partner? Damn it, I don’t want to be a pirate either, but there’s nothing I can do about it now.”

As he spoke, he glared at Xia Che in front of him.

This guy...

It’s really annoying. Believe it or not, she quit immediately and won’t even invite her on board the next time.

"Yes, Colonel Xia Che, we know you are not a bad person, but now..." Kensuke, the captain of the Cocoa West Town Security Team next to him, looked at the angry Nami, sighed inwardly, and was also worried. He said, "If it doesn't work, just follow Nami's wishes and run away! Everyone will help stop the navy and delay it."

"Yes! Colonel, run! I heard that some naval hero is here too."

"Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Cocoyasi Town, and everyone will always remember the colonel's kindness."

"Okay, I told you not to worry." Xia Che patted Nami's hand and reluctantly stopped everyone's persuasion.

He also understands everyone's concerns.

But now...

"The matter is not that serious." After glancing at everyone, Xia Che tapped the table with five fingers of his right hand. After everyone calmed down, he said expressionlessly, "I will take care of it, everyone go. Get busy."

Another slight pause.

"If it really doesn't work, I will run away as everyone wants."

After hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone was also quite nervous about the sudden appearance of the inspection team. They didn't want their benefactor to be arrested like this.

Colonel Xia Che was obviously a good man. He drove away the pirates and the hateful navy and made everyone well fed. How could he be caught?

But since Colonel Xia Che said this, they had no choice but to accept it. They were worried about disturbing Colonel Xia Che. Although everyone was still a little worried, they still calmed down and started doing their own work, so as not to worry Colonel Xia Che. .

"Do you really have a solution?" Nami touched her hand that was slapped and turned red, blew on it, then looked at Xia Che and said unhappily, "It hurts so much! If it doesn't work, let's run. He's a navy hero. Robin, you should also persuade the boss!"

However.

"The boss is a smart man, we don't have to worry about him." Unlike others, Robin, who was drinking black tea and reading a book, didn't seem to be worried. She smiled slightly, raised her head, and said elegantly, "And I'm just a small secretary. How can the boss listen?"

Sighed and shook her head.

"If it doesn't work, we can only change the boss."

"..."

Why does this guy say it in a weird tone.

Xia Che rolled his eyes, but continued, "It's just a suspicion, and there is no conclusive evidence at the headquarters. You know, we are a navy that upholds justice, how could we do such a thing."

But.

Facing his words, Nami just rolled her eyes. As a navigator, she pointed the way on the Mok ship, how could she not know what was going on.

This guy even lied to himself!

"Ahem." Looking at Nami's eyes, Xia Che coughed twice, still righteously, "We apply for every penny of military funds according to the requirements, which is legal and compliant, but the Mok Pirates are extremely vicious, and the 16th branch of the Navy can't bear it. It's normal to ask for more money to buy equipment. This is all for the protection of the sea!"

Garp is not worried. This guy's ass is even dirtier than him. He is not a real pirate and has not done anything bad.

As long as he wants to run, I believe that this guy who is slacking off will not really try his best to catch him, just like catching the Axe King.

If it doesn't work... just run away.

He has been operating here for so long, if he wants to run, he still has many ways.

Compared to Garp, what gave him a headache was Smoker. This guy really enforced the law impartially and was impartial. If he really wanted to catch someone, he would do his best to catch him.

Of course~

He was not worried about Smoker's current strength.

Anyway, it was not so easy to catch him. Of course, if possible, he didn't want to go to sea and become a pirate hiding from place to place, and...

Xia Che crossed his hands in front of his chin, and a serious expression appeared on his angular face, "I suspect that our East China Sea will have another big man. The Mok Pirates... are a group of vicious pirates!"

As long as they didn't catch Mok, who could say that he was in cahoots with the pirates?

...

Time moved forward a little.

On the other side.

The waters near the 16th branch of the East China Sea.

A huge pirate ship was slowly sailing on the calm sea surface.

If someone saw the fishbone pirate flag flying, they would know that it was the Mok Pirates, the vicious pirate group in the East China Sea that had given the 16th branch of the Navy a headache and had failed to capture them for many years.

At this moment.

It seemed that some heavy cargo was on the deck of this pirate ship with a deep draft.

"Hehe!"

A huge sneeze was heard.

"Boss." A little brother of the Mok Pirates was curiously looking at the burly, nearly three-meter-tall bald giant in front of him who was rubbing his nose, and said, "The 16th branch is in front of us. Should we go there?"

However

"Where are you going? You know, we are pirates now." Facing his younger brother's question, Mok slapped his hand that was rubbing his nose on the back of his head, "Don't cause trouble for Boss Xia Che, wait until we unload the goods in Kokoyasi Town before going to see Boss Xia Che!"

As he was brought up by Boss Xia Che himself, he knew Boss Xia Che's rules very well. Although it didn't matter if he went now, there was really no need to cause trouble for Boss Xia Che.

As soon as the voice fell.

The younger brother who was slapped hard on the back of his head pursed his lips with a look of grievance, but he also understood what Boss Mok meant, but...

He pointed to the front and said with a wronged tone, "Then there is a small boat coming out of the 16th branch in front, don't we have to care about it?"

"What boat?" Hearing his younger brother's words, Mok was also stunned, raised his head and looked towards the 16th branch, and really saw a small boat slowly sailing on the sea level, and it seemed to be heading towards Kokoyasi Town.

From the 16th branch?

Or take a small boat? Is there something wrong?

Mok pondered for a moment, touched his bald head, and said, "We are all brothers, go ask them if they are in trouble. It will take the sun to set before the boat reaches Kekoyaxi Town!"

He waved his hand, "Pull the boat over and see if they need help."
