In the office of the Minister of Nantes, Smoker sat behind his desk, and the little Lada sat lazily eating the small snack in front of him. Lieutenant Dönitz.

"Don't be nervous, I asked you to come in the hope that you could tell me about the general situation in the West Sea, didn't you want to talk to me before you were in the port?" Instead of putting on a serious face, Smoker smiled as usual.

"Okay, by and large, the entire Western Sea is divided into four forces.."

Four? Hearing this, Smoker's eyebrows raised, he didn't expect there to be so many, it seems that this West Sea may really be the most chaotic sea area in the four seas.

Karl's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said unnaturally, "The weakest of them... It's our navy..."

"Well, it's okay to continue, being weak before doesn't mean that you will be weak in the future! Let me see what kind of stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs are in the West Sea~" Smoker shook his shoulders to show that he was listening.

"In general, the forces in the West Sea are not only pirates, but also gangsters and drug dens." Carl continued.

Smoker was even more surprised at this time, there are still gangsters and drug cartels in this One Piece world? He originally thought that the only opposing forces in this world were the navy and pirates, but by the way, the world government and the revolutionary army would have to be added in the future....

"Gangsters are no less than pirates in our West Sea, but they don't run around because they value 'territory', which is commonly known as 'field'."

"Oh? They don't burn and loot everywhere?! Smoker asked, and Karl sighed and replied, "Yes, on the contrary, they will defend themselves against the attacks of the pirates and keep their 'territory' from being damaged." ”

"So how do they make a profit and how do they develop?"

Cal. Dönitz replied: "Collect taxes, and export arms and firearms!" ”

"So what do you mean, those islands ruled by gangsters are still doing well?" Smoker felt that his three views were shocked, there are still such bizarre things in this world?

"No, it's not!" Cal. Dönitz directly denied it: "The gangsters will not burn and loot everywhere like pirates, but it doesn't mean that they are good stubble!" ”

"Oh~ how do you say that?"

"First of all, the people on the islands ruled by the gangs need to work every day!"

"Work?"

"Mining in the mountains, making gunpowder, building guns, transporting supplies, etc., the gangs will force civilians to do it, so people die tragically every day in these jobs!"

"At the same time, they don't have any law and order, the gang members can abuse the women on the island at will, and will force all adult or near-adult boys to be trained!"

Cal. Dönitz's ugly face complained bitterly about the evil deeds of the gang one after another, which surprised Smoker, he didn't expect this lieutenant to react so much, could it be .....

"For the gangsters, everything on the island is their private property, and naturally they will not let the pirates along the way rob them of their belongings!"

Smoker took a puff on his cigar and continued to ask, "Then who is the strongest and biggest gang in the West Sea gang now?" "He's going to start with the top batch and work his way up from the top down.

"It's the Capone family, which has existed in the West Sea for more than sixty years, and their old godfather died at the hands of the Fire Sea Pirates a few days ago, so the current godfather is only 28 years old Capone. Becky! ”

"Capone. Becky? It's the one with the Castle Fruit Ability! Smoker asked, he remembered this guy, wasn't he one of the twelve supernovas in the future, he didn't expect to be bumped into by himself....

Cal. Dönitz glanced at Smoker inexplicably: "I haven't heard of Capone. Becky is a Devil Fruit powerhouse, how did you know that? ”

"Huh? That.. That's probably because I'm misremembering, hehe, you keep talking...."Smoker urged with an embarrassed look when he heard his words. Becky hasn't eaten the castle fruit yet... That's good news.

"Yes, as I just said, the Capone family is the oldest gangster family in the West Sea, and nearly one-third of the gang forces in the entire West Sea are connected to them! And it is said that the arms they have in their possession, both in number and in power, far exceed the total number of navies in the entire Western Sea! ”

"Wow, it's amazing~" Smoker smiled casually, guns and artillery are no different from papier-mâché toys for someone of his level.

"Tell me about the drug cartels.....

Cal. Dönitz nodded and continued: "The entire drug trafficking group in the West Sea is actually just one organization! ”

"One?!" Smoker didn't expect to get this kind of answer, there was only one drug trafficking organization in the West Sea, which was really beyond his expectations.

"Yes, all drug-related things in the West Sea originate from a place called the Golden Triangle, which is a real drug den, and the person who controls this power is named Kun Sha, nicknamed the drug lord, and the bounty reaches 30 million Bailey!"

"30 million Baileys, not too low, not too high, but it's okay in the West Sea." Smoker said casually as he flicked his cigar in the ashtray on the table.

Cal. Dönitz really shook his head slightly and said: "Kunsha's bounty is only an estimated price based on his power, in fact, no one has seen him make a move at all, or he doesn't need to make a move at all, and the gang of poisonous gentlemen under his hands can solve a lot of things!" ”

"How powerful is he? How does it compare to the previous Capone? Smoker asked.

"The nature is different, the Golden Triangle is not very interested in the territory, it can be said that the drug can be sold far, how powerful they are. However, the closer the countries and towns to the Golden Triangle islands, the more drug addicts there are, and some islands have become completely degenerated into drug islands! ”

"Whew, West Sea... It's wonderful, I'm so glad I chose this place now! Smoker tossed the fragments of his finished cigar into the ashtray and lay down in his chair looking up at the ceiling.

"And what about the pirates, what is that so-called fire ship?"

Hear the word Karl in the sea of fire. Dönitz's face became heavier than ever, and then he said solemnly to Smoker: "Minister, this Fire Sea Ship Group is the largest pirate group in the West Sea, and it is also the strongest force in the West Sea now!" ”

"Oh? What a strong law~"

"There are a total of 2,000 sailors in the Fire Sea Ship Regiment, and all of them are the most elite and brutal pirates in the Western Sea, and the number of naval warships destroyed in their hands has reached as many as four, and the dead and wounded navy is countless!"

"The two pirate ships that you erased before are the fleet of the captain of the Fire Pirates Troop III, and now they have received the news, and their captain is recognized by all the countries, all forces, and everyone in the West Sea because of his extreme cruelty and viciousness..."

"Plague of the Seas!"
