Chapter 57—A Year in Chambord (6)
Chambord Island 66, naval garrison base.
After a few days of adaptation, Ray gradually became familiar with the responsibilities of the base commander and began to formally manage the operation of the entire base.
"Lieutenant Colonel Evan, who is responsible for the daily training of soldiers at the base?" Seeing the lazy appearance of the soldiers many times, Ray finally couldn't help but ask the deputy at the base.
Seeing Ray's gloomy face, as the adjutant of the former base chief, Lieutenant Colonel Evan knew that someone was going to suffer as soon as his eyes rolled.
"Is it a major staff officer, Colonel Ray, do you need me to call him?" In line with the idea that friends of the dead Dao will not die and the poor Dao, Evan immediately blurted out.
"No need, Owen will be in charge in the future, and you will notify that staff officer then." Sitting at his desk, Ray dismissed it with an understatement.
Ray's words surprised Lieutenant Colonel Evan. You must know that such a casual dismissal of a position is a taboo in officialdom, and it is easy to make subordinates dissatisfied, and it is likely that they will disobey when carrying out orders in the future.
However, Evan is not easy to say, his relationship with Ray is not so close, and rashly reminding him may cause Ray to be annoyed.
"Yes!" Evan took the order.
"In addition, let our investigators collect information on the pirates who arrive in Chambord every day, and hand over to me the information of the pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million." Finally, Ray added.
"Yes!" Evan replied again.
"You go down first!" After explaining, Ray said to Evan.
Looking at Evan's back, Ray's eyes were deep. Ray felt that since he was here, he should make some changes here. As for the staff officer who was removed from his post, he was nothing more than an incompetent person who was a corpse vegetarian. If it weren't for the lack of the right to remove him from the rank, Ray's disposition would not have been so simple.
......
A month passed quickly, and after Ray arrived in the Chambord Islands, he took over the base step by step, removed some of the officers who had risen to power with the PY deal, and promoted many powerful and talented young people
Lei didn't care about what kind of support there was behind those people, as long as he didn't do anything that violated military regulations, those maggots in the dark could only curse behind their backs, and they would never be on the stage.
And not only that, Ray also changed some of the base's original unreasonable regulations. Civilians were allowed to seek help from the bases, while naval patrols were expanded to apprehend slave traders they encountered.
"Colonel Ray, intelligence shows that there is a lone pirate with a bounty of over 100 million who has just landed on Island 55. This is his message, please take a look at it. Lieutenant Colonel Evan's stern voice rang out in his office. He had seen Lei's drastic methods in the past month, and he did not dare to underestimate this eighteen-year-old commander in the slightest.
Hearing the voice, Ray came back to his senses from the idea in his head. He had been wondering if there was anything else to add, hoping to manage this first base he managed.
"Blood Feather - Adam, bounty of 310 million, animal bird fruit - seagull form." After taking the information, Ray wrote it down carefully.
"Seagulls? What an insulting sign of the Navy! Looking at the masculine face of the thief in the photo, Lei sneered. I'll go out for a while, and you take care of the base. ”
Leaving a word, Ray hurried out of the office.
"Adam!? I seem to know something about this person. Picking up the materials that Ray had placed on the table, Evan clutched his head and pondered. He felt as if he had forgotten some memory, as if someone had said in his heart: catch up and stop Colonel Ray.

Chambord 55 Island
It's a place for ships heading to the New World to coat, and many pirate ships come here every day, and even some risky merchants who don't want to pay a lot of money to pass through the Red Earth.
In the harbor, in front of a small boat, a man about two meters tall stood and watched.
The man was in his thirties, with long, messy brown hair, a blue stubble on his face, and a strand of hair hanging down from his temples and swaying with his movements. He was wearing a blue denim outfit with a white vest underneath, the buttons of the denim jacket were not fastened, and the strong muscles could be seen through the vest.
If Ray was here, he would immediately recognize this person as his target: Bloodfeather Adam.
"Hey! Be careful! While looking, Adam did not notice the passing worker and was hit by him. But compared to Adam's strong body, some of the skinny workers felt like they had hit a thick wall and fell backwards.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The skinny worker knelt down in horror and apologized, fearing that he would be killed.
Working in such a lawless place, if you annoy these vicious pirates, you will definitely die a miserable death. Even if a lowly and poor person like a worker is killed, there will be no one to avenge him.
"Boy! Don't kneel down to someone else! I won't blame you. Be careful when walking in the future, others may not have a good temper like me. Pulling up the kneeling worker, Adam admonished solemnly, as if educating the children of the family.
"Thank you, thank you!" Getting up from the ground, the workers thanked them and ran away in a panic.
"Really, am I that terrible?" Adam scratched at his messy hair and said innocently.
In fact, Adam's face is very masculine, his facial features are upright, and the vicissitudes of life brought by stubble can definitely fascinate thousands of girls. It's just that there is a narrow scar from the top of his right eye to the corner of his mouth to the left, which makes him a little more vicious, so that many timid people dare not look at him.
"Really, there are no idle coating workers?" After waiting for a long time, Adam didn't see anyone coming.
After glancing at the time, Adam was thinking about going to the island first and trying his luck to get a suitable weapon. Not long ago, his knife was damaged by a strong enemy, and as a result, he still hasn't bought it to his liking.
"If you don't have one, go get a few drinks." With this in mind, Adam hurried towards the other islands. I don't know if he wants to buy a weapon as soon as possible, or if he wants to have a big drink.
......
Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man Street.
After a month of waiting, Mihawk still didn't wait for the "Shanks" in the mouth of the Hades Reilly. And when he went to the market to look for Reilly, he found that Reilly had disappeared without a trace.
In desperation, he had no choice but to drive his coffin ship to Fish-Man Island, intending to return to the New World.
However, Mihawk still remembered what Tom said, so before leaving, he planned to go to Fishman Street to say goodbye to Tom and the others.
"It's human, how dare humans come here?"
"Looks like a pirate?"
"Doesn't he know this is Whitebeard's territory?"
Walking through the filthy and chaotic streets, Mihawk hears the muttering of the fishmen on both sides who are spying on him.
"A swarm of ants!" With a mental assessment, Mihawk continued to walk forward.
