In an office on the fourth floor of a small western-style building on Rust Island, a man in a suit and tie with a glass of red wine in his hand looked through the window at the smoke rising from the sea in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, exclaiming:

"Alas, it seems that the West Sea will change the sky in the future."

Bringing the red wine in the goblet to his lips and drinking it down, the man beckoned his men who came not far away, and gave new instructions one after another.

Far from the naval headquarters, most of the islands without a strong army are like the scenes depicted in the movie "Kung Fu", and the black gang (zei) has all kinds of business dealings with each other, and there are often countless casualties. And most of the branch navy is like the police station in the movie, and its role is basically to count money and wash the floor.

But there's no way around it. After all, in this sea-dominated world, the pirates with a little strength have good firepower and countless crazy thugs.

If the headquarters navy is equivalent to the regular army of various countries on the earth, then the so-called branch navy, without a "strong man" like Smoker, is at best equivalent to a piece of police on the earth.

Let the film police deal with the Somali pirates, and the results are not at all self-evident. The Colonel of the Navy Branch, who was easily defeated by the Fishman Aaron's men in the East China Sea, is the most obvious example.

Therefore, when Carlo, the strongest combat force of the 204th and 213th branches of the Navy, was defeated by Carl, the two navies on Luster Island decisively chose to protect themselves. They did not participate in the fight between this group of crazy pirates, but in the name of "saving people" and "fighting fires", they cleaned up the mess left by Carl after the battle, which is the so-called "washing the floor".

Like the situation in the anime where a large group of young and hot-blooded sailors are formed by a "death squad" holding steel swords and rushing to the pirate-level powerhouse without fear of death, unless there is an overseer like Admiral Akainu behind him or a life-and-death battle like a top war, this situation does not exist at all.

The navy is also a human being, and he also has wives and children. Behind every cannon fodder, there are heroic deeds full of blood and tears.

……

Carl sat comfortably on top of the cat's head, feeling the comfortable sea breeze blowing in his face, all the way to the harbor of Rust Island.

"Robin, did you send this sea cat to pick me up?" Carl wouldn't believe that he was so handsome that even any sea beast would come to help him so enthusiastically. As soon as he saw Robin's figure, Carl immediately expressed the doubt in his heart.

"I sent it? How can it be! Robin couldn't help frowning slightly at Carl's nonchalant question, "I haven't dealt with this kind of sea cat at all, I thought you took it halfway." ”

"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Carl had a puzzled look on his face, and as he thought, he shook his head slightly.

He turned to say hello to the sea cat, and said with a smile, "See you later, cute little kitten." ”

"Meow—"

The cat narrowed its eyes, shook its front paws at Carl with a smile, and slowly swam away from the shallows, poofing into the sea.

"Is there a place where I can take a bath? By the way, I also need a new outfit. Feeling the discomfort of the salt remaining in his body, Karl decided to take a hot shower to make himself comfortable, and by the way, he also changed out of his wet clothes, which had become a little tattered from the battle.

"Well, as long as you have money, none of this is a problem." Robin's dark crystal eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied with a smile.

The pirate in front of him was obviously an extremely decisive and ruthless killing god, but on the other party's body, Robin couldn't feel the anger after the killing. This ambivalent feeling fills Robin's heart with curiosity about Carl.

"Money?" Carl raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Dare to love Robin, this guy is asking for public funds for his activities!

If you want, you want it!

Pirates have one advantage that the navy can never match, that is, pirates with a little strength are never bad for money!

Of course, this is about individuals and individuals, and cannot be compared to the huge monster of the Navy as a whole......

After a long time, Carl took a bath, changed his clothes, and maintained the broken soul to a new look, and the whole person was refreshed, and finally found Robin's door.

"Have you done everything I told you?" Sitting on the couch in front of the coffee table, Carl poured himself a glass of delicious fruit wine from Rust Island, and drank it slowly while waiting for Robin's report.

"Everything is under control." Robin sat on the couch on the side of the coffee table, took out a map, took out a pen and pointed at it.

"These circles are the ones that the Navy is focusing on right now, and they're basically the ones you're fighting in. They are now busy treating the wounded, pacifying civilians, and disposing of the bodies of Lafayette and other pirates. I quietly watched for a while, they probably didn't intend to investigate your whereabouts, probably because they were frightened by you. ”

Robin, who has been wandering the dark world for many years, has shown her professionalism at this moment, although Carl can also collect this information, but it is certainly not as fast as Robin, and it will not be handled as well as her.

Not to mention that there is a specialization in the art industry, Robin can get to the position below Klockdahl alone, and it is definitely not because she knows those ancient words.

"I don't know what kind of story the Navy will make up with today's events this time." Robin, who has never had a good impression of the Navy, added.

Carl didn't care what the Navy would do, he was a little curious if Carlo could take advantage of this opportunity to earn him room to rise.

After all, turning the fight between pirates into their own credit is a skill that the navy must learn.

Carl believed that with the character of Carlo, who couldn't rub sand in his eyes, he would return to him sooner or later after being in the Navy Headquarters for a long time. At that time, Carlo will be the "ghost bamboo" Virgo that he planted in the navy!

Seeing that Carl stopped thinking and focused his attention on the map again, Robin pointed the tip of his pen to the location of another circle, "This is where the biggest dark forces in Luster Island are located, and the navy knows about their existence, but there is a stable balance between the two sides, and the well water does not interfere with the river water." ”

"Very good, then let's go meet this group of underworlds!" Carl stood up, his eyes glinting with excitement.

"Go now?" Robin couldn't help but be slightly startled, "I mean, don't you have to take a day off after a series of battles?" ”

"No, it's not even a deathmatch, where do you need a break."

Carl picked up Robin's sunglasses and put them on in front of his eyes, now he didn't even bother to stick his beard, "Let's go, while the navy is still too busy to care about other things, let's go and have a good chat with those guys." ”
