Chapter 3 Big Figures 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 meet again 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 16 branches?
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Moreover, in the past three years, they have been crying out for poverty, heavy losses, and outdated equipment, demanding three full years of military expenditures.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 defrauding 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 deep in thought, 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 offended 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 Cocoyasi 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, lest they have to let others go. Colonel Schach was worried.
"Do you really have a way?" Nami touched her red hand, blew on it, then looked at Xia Che and said angrily, "It's so hard, it hurts! If it doesn't work, we'd better run away. Well, that’s a naval hero, Robin, you should also persuade the boss!”
However. "BOSS is a smart man, we don't need to worry." Unlike the others, Robin, who was leisurely drinking black tea and reading a book, didn't seem worried. He smiled slightly, raised his head, and said elegantly, "And I'm just a little secretary, how can the boss listen?"
He sighed and shook his head.
"If it doesn't work, we can only change the boss."
"..."
Why does this guy speak so eccentrically?
Xia Che rolled his eyes, but continued, "It's just a suspicion, and there is no conclusive evidence from the headquarters. You know that we are a navy that upholds justice, so how can we do such a thing."
only.
Facing his words, Nami just rolled her eyes. As a navigator, she had given directions on the Mok ship. How could she not know what was going on?
This guy actually lied to himself!
"Ahem." Looking at Nami's eyes, Xia Che pretended to cough twice, and still said righteously, "Every penny of our military expenditure is applied in accordance with the requirements, and it is legal and compliant. It's just the Mok Pirates." It’s so vicious that the 16th Marine Branch can’t handle it. It’s normal to spend more money to buy equipment. This is all to protect the sea!”
Garp isn't worried. This guy's butt is cleaner than his. He's not a real pirate, and he hasn't done anything bad.
As long as he wants to run away, I believe that this fisherman will not really try his best to catch him, just like he caught the Ax King.
If it really doesn't work...just run away.
After operating here for so long, he still has many options if he wants to run away.
Compared to Garp, what troubled him more was Smog. This guy really enforced the law impartially and was selfless. If he really wanted to catch him, he would do his best to catch him.
Of course~
He is not worried about Smoker's current strength.
Anyway, it's not that easy to catch him. Of course, if possible, he doesn't want to go to the sea and become a pirate hiding in Tibet, and...
Xia Che crossed his hands in front of his chin, and a serious expression appeared on his angular face, "I suspect that we are going to have a big shot in the East China Sea again. The Mok Pirates... are a group of extremely vicious pirates!"
As long as they don't catch Mock, then who can say that he is complicit with the pirates?
……
Move forward in time a little bit.
the other side.
The waters near the 16th branch of the East China Sea.
A huge pirate ship was sailing slowly on the calm sea.
If anyone sees the fish bone pirate flag flying, they will understand that it is the Mock Pirates, the most vicious pirate group in the East China Sea, which has caused headaches for the 16th branch of the Navy and failed to capture them for many years.
now.
It seemed to be carrying some heavy cargo, and it was on the deck of this pirate ship with an obvious draft.
"Hoo!"
There was a loud sneeze.
"Boss." A young member of the Mock Pirates was looking curiously at the bald man in front of him, nearly three meters tall, rubbing his nose, and said, "The 16th branch is just ahead. Do we want to go there?"
However.
"Where are we going? You must know that we are pirates now." Facing his younger brother's inquiry, Mok directly slapped the hand rubbing his nose on the back of his head, "Don't cause trouble for Boss Xia Che, wait until we get to Coco After unloading the goods in Yaxi Town, we’ll go see Boss Xia Che!”
As the one who was brought up by Xia Che personally, he is quite aware of Xia Che's rules. Although it doesn't matter if he goes now, there is really no need to cause trouble for Xia Che.
The words just fell.
The little brother who was slapped hard on the back of the head frowned with an aggrieved look, but he also understood what Boss Mok meant, but...
He pointed to the front and said with an aggrieved tone, "There is a small boat coming out of the 16th branch in front, so we don't have to worry about it?"
"What boat?" Hearing his younger brother's words, Mock was also stunned. He raised his head and looked towards Branch 16, and he saw a small boat driving slowly on the sea level, and its direction seemed to be the town of Cocoyasi.
From branch 16?
Still taking a 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 any trouble. The boat is going to Cocoyasi Town. It is estimated that the sun will It’s going to set!”
With a big wave of his hand, he said, "Pull the boat over and see if they need help."
