Smoker naturally has some acting elements, and he is indeed not interested in these pirates in the North Sea, even if it is Doflamingo, who is in the limelight.

In his opinion, these navies in the four seas usually exaggerate the strength of the pirates to prove that it is not that they are not good, but that the enemy is too strong.

The elite of the department, Smoker has only just come of age, and it is understandable to be arrogant.

But with Merry. Gray's narration, Smoker's face also became solemn, even though he was still very young, but since following Alan out of the East China Sea out of that town, his experience is something that ordinary people never want to have in their lifetime, and these experiences have brought him a broad vision and insight beyond ordinary people.

What Doflamingo does is fundamentally different from that of ordinary pirates.

ORDINARY PIRATES ARE AIMLESS LOOTING, SOME YEARN FOR ROGER'S SO-CALLED ETHEREAL BIG SECRET TREASURE ONE PIECE, AND SOME ARE PURELY JUST TO ROB OTHERS TO KEEP THEMSELVES ALIVE. Most of these pirates are not worth mentioning, and the ending is basically doomed, and there is no one in ten who can really survive.

On the contrary, it is rare to see such as Doflamingo. No, to be precise, Smoker only knew that someone had a far-reaching layout until he heard it, and if he couldn't catch such a guy earlier, he might not be able to become a pirate emperor like Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom in the future.

Just like the current Beihai, most of the underground world has the surname Don Quixote.

About Doflamingo, Merry. Gray spoke for a full twenty minutes, and it can be seen that the wind and waves caused by this guy in the North Sea are not small, and from another aspect, Gray can be regarded as a caring person, after all, Doflamingo's main area of activity is not within the jurisdiction of his branch base.

"Well, after listening to Brigadier General Gray, what do you think?" Alan asked.

Smoker said with a serious face: "I was a little arrogant before, this Doflamingo is indeed not to be underestimated, so many things can be done in the North Sea, if you go to the Great Voyage, I am afraid it will be more rampant, and it will also cause more casualties and chaos, and it will be even more difficult to catch it." The best way is to directly extinguish this source while he is not fully developed now. ”

After the beginning of the era of pirates, the number of pirates in this world has surged a lot, and no one knows which of them can really become stronger.

And a large part of these pirates are heading towards ONE PIECE in the new world, and this sea is too vast, and trying to find pirate groups on the ocean without satellite positioning is comparable to looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if you know it, it's not easy to catch it.

In short, it is not so easy to really exterminate one pirate group after another, otherwise, with the strength of the navy, facing a group of pirates who are scattered and even fighting among themselves, it will not make the pirates in this world compete with the navy world government and so on.

Gray exclaimed, "Colonel Smoker is far-sighted, and he is worthy of being the youngest genius colonel of His Excellency Allen. "At first, Gray, who had been the head of the branch for more than ten years, was actually very unnatural, but in just a few days, he had practiced this skill quite proficiently, and it seemed that he thought it this way completely from the heart, not just a compliment.

This licking skill, how amazing is it.

Smoker was still very young, and such a straightforward praise in person made him blush all of a sudden, and he was very embarrassed.

Unlike Allen, although he is also young, he has been praised and trained by various people over the years, and if Gray said this, he sounded like this, and he smiled at most: "Brigadier General Gray don't praise him too much, this guy is still far behind, if others don't say it, compared to you, there is a big gap." When he can be like Brigadier Gray, I don't have to worry so much. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Your Excellency Allen is really ridiculous. I, a brigadier general who will soon retire from the branch, compared with a young genius like Colonel Smoker's headquarters, is like a firefly comparing itself to the light of the moon, not at all on the same level, there is no comparison. "Merry. Gray said with some trepidation.

He secretly complained in his heart, Your Excellency Allen, it's okay for you to teach your subordinates, but if you compare yourself to be noted by this genius, this is not a good thing, maybe there will be twists and turns.

Alan said: "Brigadier General Gray is too modest, under your leadership, the branch base has made a lot of contributions, caught a lot of pirates, and greatly maintained the peace of the North Sea, which is all your leadership." This alone is very rare, and some people may not learn it in their lifetime. ”

Alan didn't talk nonsense about this, although it is important to be strong, it does not mean that other abilities are not important. Such as Merry. Gray, his strength is not ranked among all the branch bases in Beihai, but this 110 branch base, which was not very good, has grown little by little under his leadership, and he himself can be promoted to brigadier general by virtue of his merits, which shows that his ability is not bad.

Alan himself is actually not very good at this kind of management, and if he is placed in a base as a commander, he may not be able to compare with Merry. Gray did better.

"But Smoker is right about one thing, and that is that Doflamingo can't go on like this." Allen's words didn't stop, "We can all see his harmfulness, if you don't stop it now, maybe you will become a more difficult pirate to deal with in the future, since I am in the North Sea now, I will simply clean up the environment in the North Sea, and keep the pirates in the North Sea so rampant, they still think that the navy is easy to bully."

In this way, Commodore Gray will help me prepare the supplies I need, and you go to Bucky for the specific situation, and he will dock with you, and when I am ready, I will stay in the North Sea for the time being, so that these pirates can understand that no matter what sea area they are in, pirates will never be able to ride on the head of the navy.

I don't like to shout slogans like 'for justice', and I don't like those pirates who wantonly abuse ordinary people in the name of freedom. Brigadier Gray wants to sort out all the pirates in the North Sea as quickly as possible, and deal with one Doflamingo, and by the way, he will also solve the other pirates by the way. ”

At this moment, the momentum on Allen's body was simply like the sunlight outside the window, and the bright light was simply impossible to look at.

"Yes, Lord Allen." Merry. Gray gave a standard military salute.

He understands that from now on, these rampant pirates in the North Sea are probably going to be unlucky.

……

……

Merry. After Gray left, Alan continued the conversation with Smoker.

Smoker asked, "Lieutenant General, just let him go so gently?" Over the years, he has cooperated with those nobles in Bagara, and he doesn't know how much he has received. ”

Speaking of which, he was still a little indignant.

There was no doubt that young Smoker was a man of great integrity, and not only him, but most of the people on Alan's ship, except for Bucky, were such young men.

After Allen came to the 110 branch base, it was actually not very peaceful secretly, and some people had secretly contacted the elites of the headquarters brought by Allen these days and reacted to some problems.

The one with the most problems is, of course, Merry. Gray.

After these days of covert verification, Smoker has some conclusive evidence. Gray does have a problem, too, and it's a lot better.

Smoker, who mastered the situation, couldn't sit still, and he took the initiative to find Allen, explain the situation, and wanted to find out this black sheep for the navy.

Just now Merry. When Gray came, he was like having a seizure, but fortunately, the days with Alan were not short, and he still had some acting skills, so he didn't show such a situation, and he looked like a high-minded genius colonel in the headquarters. In fact, he has always been in this image in the branch navy these days.

"Putting these things aside, what do you think Merry. How is Gray as a branch chief? Alan asked, looking at Smoker.

Smoker was about to blurt out his words, paused for a moment, and finally said the truth: "Through my investigation, he is indeed a very capable brigadier general, even much better than many brigadier generals and even major generals in the headquarters, but ......"

Alan raised his hand to interrupt Smoker's words: "Then based on the evidence you have obtained now, what do you think should be done with him?" He patted the paper on his desk.

"Of course, I will take him back to the headquarters and throw him into the prison of the headquarters, waiting for the verdict of the military court." Smoker didn't hesitate this time.

Alan sneered: "Do you believe it, these things are thrown to the court, and in the end, this Brigadier General Gray will never have anything." You look at what is the evidence of your so-called, embezzlement? He had taken bribes from many nobles from the Pampas, and the money was definitely a lot more than the number you had investigated. But what kind of sin is such a thing? I'm afraid that the old men of the military tribunal of the headquarters will be better than Merry. Gray was even more ruthless.

As for the Navy's practice of escorting those merchant ships and then charging high fees from them, not to mention Merry. What Gray is doing, even the rest of the world, or even the great voyage, is nothing new.

Or the so-called reselling of weapons? Regardless of whether you have tangible evidence or not, according to the regulations of this ministry, these weapons have reached the point of obsolescence, and even if they are not resold to those people, they will be destroyed. Not to mention, since he can do such a thing, he will never be without measures to deal with it.

Another point, after we arrived this time, how many of the people who came to secretly sue were low-level soldiers? As far as I know, there's only one, and it's still a bad gambler. What does this mean, says Merry. Gray has absolute control over the branch base, and you should see the attitude of those soldiers towards him very clearly, and I am afraid that not many base commanders can do this kind of situation.

I'm afraid there are still some people who are restless, maybe it's ambition, maybe there are other situations that we don't know, in short, it's very likely that someone wants to put Merry. Gray got. Whether it's replacing it or replacing it with a new prefect, this can only show that Merry. Gray had hindered their interests, and there might have been no way to take this brigadier before, but my arrival has made these people see an opportunity.

Smoker, don't look at the problem too one-sidedly, have a sense of justice, this is the best thing, you must keep it. But having a sense of justice does not mean that everyone is like you, everyone lives in a different environment, and their attitude towards the world will be different. In the future, you will not only have to be a leading role, but also manage a lot of people, and you need to screen and judge at this time. Do you understand? ”

Merry. Does Gray have a problem?

Of course.

But he had these problems, perhaps in Smoker or even Merry. Gray himself seems to be a big problem, and it is not worth mentioning in the entire navy.

Not to mention the branch of the four seas, it is the branch of the headquarters and even the great route, Bimeri. Gray's overdone admirals have.

This is a worse era, as long as you are not as bad as people, you are actually good.

Merry. Gray's biggest problem is to sell some of the weapons and ammunition that need to be destroyed or damaged in the branch base, and Alan never believes that only those that need to be destroyed or damaged, and many of them should be 'damaged'.

As for the other problems, they are not a problem at all.

Smoker was pondering, and he certainly didn't think that Lieutenant General Allen was working for Merry. Gray exonerated that, to be honest, this brigadier general, who was famous in the North Sea, was not qualified at all.

Yawen Library

As for why the lieutenant general spoke so long, Smoker, of course, understood. After all, Lieutenant General Allen was almost ready to tell himself that he was cultivating himself.

Half a day later, Smoker seemed to have figured it out, and seemed to still have some doubts.

"But let Merry go. Gray? He asked weakly.

Alan almost laughed angrily at this stubborn guy: "When did I say I was going to let him go?" Not to mention anything else, the resale of arms in the army, in my opinion, is absolutely impermissible. But now is not a good time to move him, otherwise I am afraid that some people who are hidden in the dark will laugh off their big teeth. ”

Of course, it has to be dealt with, and Alan is not completely idle these days.

He already knew enough about the place, whether it was the low-level soldiers at the branch base, or the real situation.

Unlike Smoker, Alan has a deep understanding of the branch base, and the ordinary soldiers in the general branch base actually have a hard time, especially if they meet a commander who is not very good.

But the 110 branch base is different, the soldiers at the bottom are generally living well, even those soldiers who retired due to injuries, Allen has also visited, there is no too bad situation, and life is quite satisfactory.

This illustrates Merry. Even if Gray is greedy for money, he is very measured in his work, or he has a pattern, and he is not the kind of commander who completely treats his soldiers as pigs for the sake of his own wealth.

That's all there is to it, Merry. Gray would be enough to crush more than 80% of the base governors of the branch.
