16. The value of the new route
In the One Piece world, the Great Passage is a special existence!
In the midst of the great voyage, the geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents are all chaotic, and it is difficult to even determine one's own position, and it is only through the recording and permanent pointers that the ship can sail on the great route.
It is precisely because of this peculiarity of the Great Voyage that even though countless navies, pirates, and adventurers have sailed and searched on the Great Voyage for hundreds of years, there are still islands that have not been discovered by humans.
For example, the Land of Legends, the end of the Great Voyage, Ralph Drew!
Another example is the giant island where Abner was located at the beginning, the Island of Behemoths.
The discovery of an island that is not on the record is of extraordinary strategic importance for the Navy, and it represents a new route, a new route that is only in the hands of the Navy!
If a navy were stationed on the island, no one but the navy would know where it was located.
The deterrent effect of a naval station that does not exist on a record pointer, a permanent pointer, is unparalleled.
As the Brigadier General Inspector General of the G3 Branch, Sidney naturally knows the significance of a new route, and as the Deputy Base Chief of the G3 Branch, Bogart knows this very well.
Bogart-G3 Branch Base Commander Lieutenant General Karp Adjutant and G3 Branch Deputy Base Chief, and one of the five Major Generals of the G3 Branch.
As a naval hero, Karp has pushed One Piece Roger into a desperate situation several times, and he is brave in battle, unparalleled in force, and at the same time has a strong personality, humor, straightforwardness, and cares about his subordinates, so he can be said to be a good boss.
But that big grin personality has already doomed him not to be a qualified base captain.
Today's G3 branch has such a deterrent effect, showing a thriving scene, of which the deputy base director Bogart can be said to account for eighty percent of the credit.
It can be said that in the current G3 branch fortress, the power of the deputy base chief Bogart is still above Karp.
"In your eagerness to get rid of the [Birrell Pirates], you didn't follow the direction of the record pointer, and the strong sea breeze blew shortly afterward, so you couldn't discern the direction at all, so you landed on that island by chance?"
Wearing an off-white cloak of justice, a brown suit, and a tie that had been worn for many years, in the base chief's office, Bogart unceremoniously sat in the place where he belonged to Karp, and asked Wakebu in front of him.
"Yes, Lord Bogart!"
"In other words, it only took you ten days to recuperate, and it was only in order to fill up the magnetic force of the recording pointer that your warship stayed on that island for half a month?"
"Hoo ......"
There seems to be a strange sound mixed in......
"Yes, sir."
"Not bad! Wakeb, you're pretty smart! So in your opinion, can we station a navy of our G3 branch on that island? ”
"Uh...... Lord Bogart, this island is rich in fresh water, and the area is amazingly large, as long as it can solve the threat of giant beasts on the island, let alone station a navy on it, even if we move all of our G3 branches there, it will be more than enough! ”
"Behemoth...... There are also dragons that can hunt navy types...... That's a problem......"
“…… Call...... Call...... Whew......"
Bang!!!
"Karp, have you had enough! We are now talking about a new route! A route that has never been discovered! You give me a little serious! ”
"Ahahahaha...... The old man fell asleep again...... Aha...... Yes, yes, just do as you say! ”
Tall, broad-chested, muscular, and even though the short hair on his head had turned gray, Karp was still a lot taller than the two in the room.
Under Bogart's angry punch, Karp, who was snoring, held his head blankly, and said directly with wide eyes.
Wakebu, who was sitting opposite Bogart, was already surprised and quickly lowered his head, thinking of himself as an invisible person.
"Shut up and listen quietly! Dare to fall asleep again I'll stop your doughnuts for a month! ”
"Uh...... Ahem...... Where did you just go? Let's go on, go on. ”
As soon as he heard the threat about his doughnut, Karp suddenly became serious, which also made Bogart, who was sitting on the main seat, pat his forehead with a helpless face.
"Lieutenant Commander Wakebu, although we lost thirty percent of our crew in the attack of the [Birrell Pirates], but after our judgment, there is nothing wrong with your orders in it, and you have discovered a new island this time, we will report it to the Navy Headquarters, I believe that soon your promotion order will come down soon."
"Thank you, sir!"
"But you and your crew are not to say a word about the island of behemoths! And the record pointer you hold will be handed in immediately, and the situation of the entire island of behemoths will be erased from your mind in the future, this is the order! ”
"Yes! My lord! ”
"The Birrell Pirates actually dare to attack the ships of our navy, we will immediately mobilize forces to wipe them out, and the justice of the navy cannot be disgraced! The enmity of your subordinates will soon be ......
"What! There are pirates who dare to attack their old subordinates, where are they now? ”
Before Bogart's words fell, Karp on the side was already shouting angrily.
"Uh...... Karp-sama! Lord Bogart! …… I've already brought back the head of that Birrell? ”
Karp:......
Bogart: ......
"Actually, this time, in addition to the information I want to report on the island of giant beasts, I have other important news to report to the two adults!"
"You brought back Birrell's head?"
"Additional information?"
Suddenly, Karp and Bogart were both intrigued.
You must know that Birel's bounty is already as high as 80 million, and it belongs to the sea thieves who have broken through their own prestige on the great voyage, even if the powerful G3 branch wants to exterminate this [Birel Pirates], it has to mobilize three rear admirals of the Navy Headquarters to be fully sure.
But in the mouth of this Lieutenant Colonel Wakeb, he had actually brought back the head of that Birrell.
More importantly, the discovery of a new route is already a non-secret, and after Wakeb reported the information of the new route, there is actually other information, and the importance is obviously above the discovery of the new route.
"Two adults, in fact, I brought back a teenager from that beast island this time."
A teenager?
The people on the island of the Behemoth? Is there anything special about him? So special that it's still on top of a new route?
"The teenager's name is Perez. Abner, who is only twenty years old this year, has been living on the island of Behemoths for twenty years! ”
"You're saying he's lived on that island of behemoths for twenty years?"
Karp instantly grasped the point of Wakeb's words.
"Yes, so on the way back, I invited him to join our navy! I think he's a monster! ”
"A monster that rivals the three adults of Sakaski, Kuzan, and Rusalino when they were young! A new generation of monsters! ”
