Chapter Ninety-Four: Polusalino: The Great King (Zefa) asked me to patrol the mountains (islands) Eh~
There are four islands on the Great Route: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each with its own four seasons, so there are 16 seasons in total. And the summer in Summer Island is the hottest; Winter Island winters are the coldest; Spring in Spring Island is the most vibrant; Autumn in Akishima is at its most colorful.
The "Red Earth Continent" is actually the product of these four-season islands connected together, regardless of latitude and longitude, and the seasons change every time you go to an island.
For example, the small island called "Zaran", where the "Touching Fish" of Polusalino is now docked, is obviously within the protection of the naval headquarters, and it is only half a day's voyage from the headquarters (the normal cruising speed of a standard third-class warship), but it is completely opposite to Marinfando, which is in winter, and it is a summer island that is so hot that you will sweat even if you wear short sleeves.
For Polusalino's voyage this time, General Zefa set a time limit of 4 months for him. During these four months, he had to patrol 16 islands sheltered by the Navy Headquarters, and then capture pirates with a total bounty of more than 300 million Bailey.
Sakaski, who also set sail, took four months, but both the number of islands to be inspected and the amount of money required to capture pirates were much less than that of Porusalino......
Combined with Zefa's expression when he looked at him before the two of them set sail, Polusalino had every reason to think that Zefa was deliberately making it difficult to retaliate against him - isn't it just a thousand years of killing you with a finger gun strengthened by armed color domineering before, as for holding a grudge like this?
(Mr. Zefa, Mr. Zefa, Morgans of the World Economic News Agency must be glad that I provided him with this news material...... )
(Shocked!) Men will be silent when they see it, and women will cry when they see it! The top combat power of the world government, Admiral Zefa, the black wrist, actually encountered such a thing! )
While borrowing the method of spiritual victory in his heart to arrange his teacher, Polusalino led his subordinates to the town of Zalan in the interior of Zalan Island. In order to ensure the suddenness and reliability of the inspection, Polusalino did not choose to dock the "Fish" directly at the port of the town of Zaran, but docked it in a natural harbor on the island, and then landed surreptitiously.
In addition to the 30 ordinary sailors, Vice-Admiral Tsurusalin's sister-in-law Gion (Rear Admiral Fina was on standby on the "Fishing") was followed by Vice-Admiral Tsurusalino. This future admiral candidate with the name of "Peach Rabbit", the strong royal sister, at this time, is indeed just a 15-year-old girl who is not very mature, as Vice Admiral Tsuru said. However, although she is still very young now, in terms of appearance and strength, she already has the style of the future "Peach Rabbit Lieutenant General".
"Colonel Polusalino, can we really find pirates on this island?"
Gion, who was following behind Porusalino, couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked curiously, "Zalan Island is so close to the naval headquarters, no pirates would dare to come here, right?" ”
Dressed in the form of a naval colonel, Polusalino replied while leading the way according to the map in front, "Let me ask you a question, Captain Gion, have you ever thought about why anyone would choose to go to sea to become a pirate?" ”
"Hmm...... I didn't think about it. ”
Gion is a little cute and tilts his head.
"I'd be surprised if you thought about it,"
Polusalino smiled, "In the group of pirates, I personally think that there are about fifty percent of the people who take the initiative to become pirates and those who are forced to become pirates? You should have the opportunity to see examples of being forced to be pirates in the future, so I won't talk about it for now, and I'll just tell you about those who took the initiative to choose to be pirates. ”
"Hmm."
Gion nodded.
"Captain Gion, you have been living in the South China Sea before, and you have also experienced in the South China Sea, you should be able to feel that the people there are simple and simple, and the pirates do not have much success. Even if a new pirate star with a bounty of barely 10 million comes to the fore once in a while, it will soon be pressed by the naval branch of the South China Sea - right? ”
“…… That's right. ”
"But this is not the case with the other three seas, especially the North Sea, where the people are fierce, and the West Sea, where the mafia is raging. There are many fierce pirates in these two seas, and there are still some small and chaotic countries that have not joined the world government, and even if our navy invests a lot of manpower and material resources, it is impossible to completely control the situation...... The pirates here even take pride in opposing the navy, and have developed to the point that the wanted warrants issued by the world government and issued by our navy do not serve to deter them at all, but have become their capital to compete with each other. "Gu Xuan
"Pirates with a high bounty can easily recruit their younger brothers, respond to every call, and even don't have to use their hands when robbing merchant ships, and their names alone can make those merchants tremble and dare not resist; Pirates with low bounties not only do not have these privileges, but are exploited by more powerful pirates and revolted by civilians. Therefore, in order to increase their bounty amount, these pirates will do all kinds of things that seem unthinkable to us. ”
"This actually happens to be in line with their psychology, after all, many of them choose to go to sea to become pirates for the sake of excitement. The thrill of getting something for nothing, the thrill of bullying others, the thrill of trampling on the rules...... And so on, these "pleasures" are the goals they pursue. ”
"Although Zaran Island is the closest to the Navy Headquarters among the islands sheltered by our Navy, there are no soldiers stationed here. Because as you said, Captain Gion, everyone thinks that normal pirates don't have the courage to come here. ”
"But on the other hand, this island is the most suitable stage for the pirates who are themselves abnormal, but outlaws. Once they make trouble here, our navy will definitely increase their bounty, and their reputation will be greatly enhanced. And although it is very close to the Navy Headquarters, the Headquarters will definitely not send a large number of troops for a few small shrimp pirates, at most it will send a patrol ship. And before the patrol ships arrive, the pirates, who are more nimble than our navy, have plenty of time to escape. ”
"That's the truth......
Gion nodded, "But this kind of pirate shouldn't occupy a large proportion, right?" ”
"It's really a small percentage, but it can't stand the total number of pirates,"
Polusalino shrugged, "Believe it or not, if in a chaotic town. Even if the Sengoku General or Zefa Sensei went there to capture the pirates, there would still be guys who were not afraid of death to shoot at them, trying to become famous in one fell swoop. ”
“…… This shouldn't be the case, right? Even ordinary pirates should know that the generals can't be provoked......"
Gion was somewhat skeptical of Porusalino's claim.
"Well, you'll find out later."
Porusalino smiled and didn't explain much.
People's cognition is often limited by their own vision, and the vast majority of pirates in this world, the highest-ranking naval officer they have encountered in their lifetime is likely to be no more than the branch colonel - only with such a vision, how can they understand the strength of the admiral? Not to mention realizing the difference in strength between the two sides and not daring or giving up.
The best example is that in the original plot, thirty years later, on the Chambord Islands, a group of trash fish pirates who don't have long eyes will even shoot the yellow ape who is a general in order to become famous...... Hawkers,Although the end is miserable......
……
At the same time that Polusalino was heading towards the town of Zaran with Captain Gion and 30 sailors, in the Bar of Zaran Town, as he said, there was really a group of stupid pirates who were preparing to make a name for themselves here, urged by alcohol.
"Wait for me~ Hiccup! Kill all the inhabitants of this island! I am, the one who shook the sea, the sea thief! Hiccup~"
A tall man held a huge wine glass in his hand and smiled unscrupulously, "And you are, Hiccup~ I, the sea thief, the most loyal subordinate!" ”
"Long live Captain Baldi! Long live the Forward Pirates! ”
"Oh!! Captain Bardy the Sea Pirate! Sea Pirates! Sea Pirates! ”
