Luo Yi took the three shipyard materials in his hand and studied them repeatedly, and at the same time marked all the past areas of the Creek Pirates on the map, so as to analyze where he was most likely to build ships.

Creek's area of activity is so large that he rarely stays in a fixed area for too long, which is a clever thing to do, so it is difficult to detect his movements. But this behavior also revealed some problems, that is, near the shipyard closest to Rogue Town, he actually did not come to it, which is very telling, of course, it is also possible that he is afraid of the navy of Rogue Town.

Luo Yi drew a key point on the map, the closest naval branch to Rogue Town, the 21st Branch. The shipyard here fits perfectly into its three criteria, and Creek has not been active in the vicinity and is easily overlooked.

These are their own judgments, whether they are or not, or do you need to see for yourself, but how to go about it?

"Second Lieutenant Luo Yi, Colonel Smoker, please go." Luo Yi was reading the information in the data room again that day, trying to perfect his conjecture, and a soldier came in and called him.

"Thanks, I'll be right away." Luo Yi got up, put the materials neatly, tidied up his military uniform, and walked to Smoker's office with the snow.

"Colonel Smoker, are you looking for me?" Luo Yi saluted.

"Yes, sit down, we should have a good talk, shall we have a drink?"

"No need."

Luo Yi didn't think much about it and sat down directly, but Colonel Smoker's first words made him nervous for a while.

"Have you been checking the shipyard lately?" Smoker asked straight to the point.

"Yes."

"Just want to know about the situation in the East China Sea?"

"It's not." Luo Yi didn't have the idea of concealing it, Colonel Smoker was still an upright navy after all, and maybe he could provide some advice if he said it himself, at most, he wouldn't let himself attack.

"Let's talk about it!"

"When I learned about the East China Sea Pirates, I noticed that the Creek Pirates suddenly disappeared, and there was no sign of their activities for a long time. Creek's bounty has risen to 17 million Bailey, and he is one of the pirates in the East China Sea, and they will not be easily destroyed, and there is no such news within the navy, if there is a big war between pirates, then there should be at least rumors or something, but none of these. ”

"Well, the analysis is good, go on." Smoker nodded.

"Yes. So the question is, where did this pirate group go? They have been active frequently in the past few years, why did they suddenly disappear, did they go to the Great Voyage? I thought about this before, but finally gave up on this possibility. Because to go to the Great Voyage, you must first go to Rogue Town, whether it is for supply or intelligence gathering, only here is the most suitable, we should not fail to find out. ”

"There's another possibility, and that's shipbuilding, which I learned only when I went to a tavern."

"Haha, that old man's tavern? He does know a lot, so you're looking for shipyards? ”

"Yes, most of the pirate ships are warships, passenger ships and cargo ships themselves are not suitable, unless they are modified, which can save work, but they are not good ships, and Creek has accumulated a fortune for several years, and the pirate ships he wants should not be so simple, so I looked for large shipyards, but these shipyards are under the control of various branches of the navy, which is a bit tricky."

"Whew......" Colonel Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke, "these moths think that the headquarters has no time to manage them, and they are more close to the world government, one by one lawless, the headquarters has long known about it, many shipyards secretly build warships for the pirates, but they are unable to manage them." ”

"This ......"

"It's hard to understand, isn't it? Actually, it's very simple, they want to make money, a pirate ship can be built twice or three times as much as a navy warship, and then sell a batch of weapons, how much is the money? ”

"So why doesn't the headquarters do an inspection?"

"Hehe, there are too many pirates on the great voyage, their strength is strong, if there is no headquarters to go all out, then they will continue to expand their territory, and now they are in a delicate balance, and the headquarters is also unable to deal with all the pirates at once, otherwise why do you think I am here?"

"Interception?"

"Well, try to intercept as many pirates as you can to get there, but you can't do it, how about it? Is there any goal now? ”

"There are three sources here, most likely the shipyards within the scope of the 21st branch." Luo Yi said directly.

"Are you sure?" Colonel Smoker's question surprised Luo Yi, is this to let himself go?

"I don't dare to say that I am sure, but I should be able to, and I will not know until after the fight." Luo Yi didn't say anything big, what is the strength of Crick, you can't analyze it just by looking at the anime, you can only really do it.

"What if you add my ship and a thousand elite navies?"

"How can this be?"

"There's nothing you can't do, I'm very optimistic about your future, and in order to prevent you from getting too disgusted with the practices of some people in the navy and ending up running away as a pirate, I decided to support you, hoping that you can really become a marshal."

"Uh...... That boss told you? ”

"Yes, I've known him for a long time, haha...... It's rare that your ambition is to be a naval marshal, and I'm looking forward to that, but you have too many competitors, and I hope you can achieve this goal in twenty years' time. ”

"Twenty years?" It's been too long, he needs to be promoted faster, keep hunting those pirates who have the ability of devil fruits, if he wants to have absolute strength, the only thing he can do is to keep collecting devil fruits and enrich the power of demons.

It's ironic, but no matter what, the Devil Fruit has to be collected, so use the power of the Devil to fulfill your wish.

"Yes, I understand, I hope to go on the expedition as soon as possible." Luo Yi stood up suddenly, and then saluted Colonel Smoker.

"Well, go and prepare, choose the people you need, it's up to you how you choose a thousand elites, but I want you to bring them back, I'm a little willful in this matter, even if I can't defeat the pirates, I have to bring them back."

"Yes, don't worry, but what about Branch 21?"

"They don't dare to blatantly confront the headquarters navy, otherwise they will also be a dead end, as long as they don't confront you, then in the end, no matter what, they can also shirk their responsibility."
