Looking into the distance, the middle-aged man sighed softly before continuing: "It is always said that the East China Sea is the weakest of the four seas, so it usually does not pay much attention to it, and the funds allocated to our several branches in the East China Sea are often the least. And from the fact that it seems to be true, after all, among the pirates in the East China Sea, the highest bounty is one or two hundred million Bailey. “

"Hmm...... That's right, right? The brown-haired young man said with some confusion.

"Do you think so?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him, shook his head and said, "That's true, but this sea is the hometown of One Piece Roger, and there are always strong and terrifying newcomers popping up, and their growth rate can be described as shocking." ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on a spot on the west side of the harbor:

"In this case, there are too many variables, no matter who the next chief of the branch is, I am a little worried, but the result can no longer be changed, I only hope that the batch of small ships I ordered today can come in handy in the future."

The brown-haired young man followed the middle-aged man's gaze, but he happened to see a huge ship anchor Yang Fan and slowly sail away from the port, and there was no flag on the ship, but as the young master of the GLP family, with his familiarity with the structure of the ship, he still recognized it at a glance: "That's a pirate ship?" “

"Well, yes, Tado Pirates, the captain is the 'butcher' knife Tado with a bounty of 10 million Bailey." The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "In fact, the appearance of these guys is also one of the key points why I am worried about the East China Sea Navy. “

Turning his head to look at the brown-haired young man, seeing that his expression was a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, "What, you want to ask me, why don't you arrest them?" “

"Well, that's ......"

The brown-haired young man nodded slightly, "Although it is said that ten million pirates are some tricky goods, but Mr. Maynard is an elite from the headquarters, and it stands to reason that since he has collided, isn't it easy to defeat these people?" ”

"Before, it was."

The middle-aged man took a hard puff of his cigarette, then flicked it to the ground, gently extinguished the red fire with his leather shoes, and said: "But now that guy in Tado, compared to before, it is like two people, hmph, this old guy is also lucky, I haven't seen him for a few months, and he has actually become a Devil Fruit ability, or a natural one." ”

"This kind of terrible fellow, even the great voyage is rare, until I master 'that power', I can't help him at all, rather than fight in vain, it is better to let him go, lest I continue to destroy the port of GLP."

Retracting his gaze from the pirate ship, the middle-aged man turned around, his eyes fell on the row of subordinates in blue uniforms, squinted his eyes and said, "Why, hasn't the headquarters replied yet?" “

"Report! Mr. Maynard, we had sent the recorded images to the headquarters ten minutes ago, but so far, there has been no response! One of the young men with his hands behind his back stepped forward, and after saluting the middle-aged man, he said with a serious face.

"Well, I see, keep in touch." The middle-aged man frowned, and instructed: "This time, except for Tado, the strength shown by the rest of the cadres of this pirate group should not be underestimated, remember to remind the headquarters, please consider more in terms of the increase of the bounty." “

"Yes!"

"In addition, although I can't help the Tado gang for the time being, but the two pirate groups of Silver Shark and Black Cat, it's still very easy to clean up, go, immediately notify the branch, and let Lieutenant Colonel Mouse come over with the remaining two warships of the base, surround GLP Island, and annihilate all these pirates before it gets dark!"

"Understood!"

This time, several young sailors behind him all responded violently, and then left one after another after saluting, and after a while, the voice of the telephone bug "Balabala" faintly resounded, and the originally calm cabin suddenly became busy.

……………………

The red sun is slanting in the west, and the twilight is shrouded in the sea, so that the gently sounding waves and the sudden evening breeze seem to bring a touch of drunken red, and everything is so warm and peaceful.

A huge pirate ship, lying in the middle of the sea, on a wide deck, richly decorated, crowded, several long tables were put together, full of dishes and wines, the tables were full of people, the sound of chatting and laughing and frolicking was endless, and the atmosphere was surprisingly lively.

Apparently, there was a big banquet going on here.

The position at the head is none other than Jep and Tado, the two old men seem to be a little drunk, and I don't know if it's the stimulation of alcohol, they are squeezing their eyebrows together, exposing each other's shortcomings, and from time to time there is a loud laugh, which attracts the sideways glances of the surrounding pirates.

And most of the rest of the people were also in a state of half-drunk and half-awake, even Xia Nuo and Sanji, the two little ghosts in their eyes, drank a lot under the temptation of fine wine. Fortunately, Xia Nuo has strong self-control, he has been drinking only the lowest degree of sake to keep his brain in a clear state, and Sanji is really drunk, lying on the table with a red face, burping from time to time, and then continuing to hold the wine glass and drink slowly, his mouth has been talking to himself nonsense.

"This little one...... I didn't see it, but I still have a tsundere temper......"

Looking at the look of fascination on Sanji's little face with baby fat, Xia Nuo hugged Lake Toya, took a sip of the sake on the side of his mouth, turned his head and smiled.

Probably because he had done it once before, and in the past ten days spent on the boat, this little ghost's attitude towards him has always been a little salty, and he often sneaks around and wants to take revenge, of course, because the means are too clumsy, those little stumbling blocks have been easily dodged by Xia Nuo, and after a toss, the little guy is even more angry with him.

However, this time, in the process of being surrounded by two pirates, Sanji was first forcibly pushed to the second floor of the cabin by Xia Nuo, and then hid in the storage room, and stole the whole process of Xia Nuo's confrontation with the enemy, especially after seeing the roaring tornado, this kid's attitude towards Xia Nuo was inexplicably much better.

Children, by nature, don't hold grudges much, in contrast, the emotion of always worshiping the strong comes more and lasts......

Thinking like this with some stinky fart, Xia Nuo glanced at the mouth of the bottle, and saw that there was not much wine in it, so he simply took it directly, turned his face to his mouth and sulked it cleanly, and then burped comfortably, and turned his head to look into the distance under the sunset.

There, there was another huge sailing ship, quietly anchored on the sea, shrouded in twilight, with a wide hull with a blue accent, which looked quite unique, and was quite conspicuous in this vast sea.
