The headquarters of the Navy is Marin Fando, where there are many warships and masters.

In the Central Military Building, Marshal Sengoku is in the conference room on the third floor, presiding over a regular meeting once a month.

To his left sits Lieutenant General Admiral Tsuru of the Navy's General Staff, and below him is the yawning naval hero, the protagonist Luffy's unreliable grandfather, Lieutenant Admiral Karp.

On the right-hand side, sitting at the front are the current three generals, the three strongest combat forces on the surface of the navy, the red dog, the yellow ape and the pheasant.

Of course, there can't be just a few of them in a formal meeting, but the rest don't deserve to have names for the time being, so they won't be introduced.

The meeting had already come to an end, and just as Sengoku was about to announce the end of the meeting, there was a knock on the door, which attracted everyone's attention.

After getting permission, the person who came quickly took the information in his hand, walked to the front and handed it to Lieutenant Commander Brannu, who had just had his name, and then silently retreated.

Brannou glanced at it hurriedly, his face did not change, and he got up and went to Sengoku's side to report the contents of the document, and asked if it needed to be made public at the meeting.

"It's still early, so let's talk about it."

"What's the matter, Warring States, if it's not important, just end the meeting quickly, everyone is very busy."

The only one who dares to speak so unceremoniously is Karp. He is the hob meat in the navy, with great merit, strong strength, and many friends. Therefore, even in the majestic conference room of the headquarters, you can still speak unscrupulously like this.

"You shut up for me, I believe that others are busy with something, what do you have, sit there honestly for me." The blue tendons on the forehead of the Warring States were bulging, and he gritted his teeth and slammed it.

"Hahahaha, the old man wants to go back to see his grandson, how can you, an old thing that no one wants, understand the fun of being a grandfather."

Karp wanted to continue, but he was kicked in the leg by Lieutenant General Tsuru next to him, and immediately became honest.

"Sengoku, let's continue the meeting, and don't pay attention to this old thing that doesn't grow up."

Tsuru's voice was gentle, calming the somewhat annoyed Sengoku Marshal and not allowing the farce to continue.

Although everyone below knows that this is the way the two old men get along, they are not used to it.

"Ahem!" Sengoku coughed, stabilized his mood, and nodded to Brannu, who walked to the side of the bulletin board and pasted a few documents in his hand.

Everyone looked over and found that they were all bounty lists, and the amount was not high, so they cast puzzled eyes.

Brannen didn't drag his feet either, and pointed to the bulletin board and began to report.

"I just received a report from Colonel Tina, who is resting, that there was a scuffle between pirates and the navy on the other side of the West Sea, and it was a few people from here who participated.

This Lafitte, who used to be the security manager of a small country, became a pirate after being expelled because of his brutality, and the previous intelligence showed that the combat power was average, and it was not worth much attention.

However, the battle was unexpectedly powerful, and both Colonel Tina and Brigadier General Kiel failed to subdue them.

Suspected of being an animal-based Devil Fruit ability, he finally spread a pair of wings and escaped from the capture of the navy.

The others belong to a group of pirates named Shamrock. Captain Lu Gui, crew Phil. Barker, Gaddafi. Belle, as well as Barbie. J. Mark.

Among them, Lu Gui also showed strength that did not match the initial investigation, and won the solo battle against Colonel Tina, and used a physical technique similar to the Navy Six, and after an in-depth investigation, this pirate group was active for less than a year.

During this period, he defeated all the pirate groups he encountered, including twelve pirate groups with bounties, and this Lu Gui never made a move.

Colonel Tina thinks that they may have some kind of conspiracy to hide their strength, so they should increase the bounty on these people, and hope that she will lead the team to hunt them down in the first half of the Great Voyage.

That's all there is to it. ”

After Brannau finished speaking, he handed out the materials and returned to his place. Sengoku knocked on the table, and then asked the crowd:

"What do you think of this new group of pirates, feel free to tell me."

"Marshal, I don't think it's anything, there are too many pirates who enter the paradise (the first half of the Great Voyage) every day, they are just one of them, even if they have some strength, don't worry too much, arrange for Tina to chase after it." Someone spoke.

"That's true, we still have to pay more attention to the new world, which has not been very peaceful lately."

If someone agrees with the idea that you don't need to care, there will naturally be someone who opposes it.

"You're thinking too simply. Judging from his past actions, this guy is cruel and murderous, and he is full of scheming, and he can hide his strength under such a premise, and it is obviously impossible to say that there is no conspiracy.

As for the Clover Pirates, not to mention anything else, a 17-year-old pirate captain who defeated the elite colonel of the Navy Headquarters and didn't pay more attention to it, is he ready to make him the next Four Emperors? ”

"I agree with what you said about Lafitte's conspiracy, but the latter words are too exaggerated, there are countless geniuses on the sea, but very few can grow.

We can increase the bounty of the other party so that we don't have to deal with the pirates who want to be famous, without our navy having to deal with them. ”

“……”

Most of the people expressed their opinions, and Sengoku nodded, not agreeing with anyone, nor to anyone.

After the meeting was quiet, he looked at Lieutenant General Tsuru on his left, and then asked:

"Tsuru, what do you think?"

Everyone else also looked at Lieutenant General Tsuru at this time, including Karp, who had always been unreliable, and his expression was also a little serious.

"As other colleagues have said, these people should raise the bounty and pay attention to it. However, there are some things that require our attention.

First of all, this Lafitte has been active in the park before, and according to the information from my intelligence department, he was also in the territory of Whitebeard in the New World not long ago.

And I will notice him because I have a remote dark line, and the clues left before death point to the other party.

Although I don't know what is special about the other party for the time being, after the incident of the West Sea, we might as well make a bold assumption.

No one had seen his true strength before, perhaps because everyone he had seen had been killed by him.

While hiding his strength from us, he secretly travels around Paradise and the New World, serving himself, or for someone or a force we don't know about.

And he, or the people behind him, are planning a big operation, and it is difficult to say what impact this operation will have on our navy, and what impact it will have on the pattern of this sea, it is impossible to be sure.

But judging from the worst outcome, a guy with a gloomy personality, hidden strength, and a Devil Fruit ability will not be a good thing to plan or plan through him, and it may also have something to do with Whitebeard.

Therefore, for this pirate, my suggestion is not to greatly increase his bounty to expose him, but to increase it appropriately, and secretly send more secret agents to follow him.

It's good to know yourself and your opponent, and even if you can't, you can create some trouble for the other party. ”

Sengoku nodded when he heard this, and then said:

"You go on, what to do with the rest of the people."

"As for the Clover Pirates! Hehe, it's really interesting.

Judging from the information we have, they really don't look like a group of pirates, they don't rob merchant ships, they don't kill islanders, and their economic resources are all stolen from other pirate groups, and in terms of fighting pirates, they are even better than the navy in the West Sea.

And they set up the pirate group for a short time, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that Lu Gui deliberately hides his strength, after all, his crew Phil. Buck will be able to deal with the pirate ships he encounters, and there aren't many opportunities for him to make a move.

And he can also use a body technique similar to the Navy Six, I wonder if his elders will be our navy before, you must know that from ancient times to the present, there are many retired navies, not without this possibility.

So I think it's possible to recruit them and give these young people a chance.

Of course, this time they clashed with the navy in the West Sea, and they used the navy to make use of it, and punishment was also essential, so it was good to increase their bounty and let Tina chase after them.

It is best to win over our navy, and if it can't win over, it will not be too late to increase the intensity of the strike.

After all, they have just entered the Great Voyage, and there are many opportunities to deal with them. ”

Lieutenant General He has a good impression of Lu Gui and them, mainly because he likes them to be measured and not kill indiscriminately.

"Hmph, pirates don't have a good thing, Lieutenant General Crane's methods are too weak." Akainu said with a serious face.

Lieutenant General Tsuru didn't explain much about Akainu's words, but just smiled and looked at Sengoku with his eyes flashing.

"Akainu, it's you who are too arbitrary. And there's nothing wrong with being able to recruit them. As representatives of justice, we should have the generosity we should have.

Just do as Tsuru said, send someone to spy on Lafitte, and his bounty will be increased by 20 million.

As for the Clover Pirates, Captain Lu Gui's bounty was raised to 70 million Bailey, and the others remained the same.

Do you have any different opinions? The tacit understanding between the comrades-in-arms made Warring States think for a moment and then said.

"Nope."

"Alright, let's dismiss!" As the words fell, all the naval elites got up and left the conference room one after another.

In the end, only Sengoku, Karp, and Tsuru remained, and it seemed that they had other things to discuss.

……

The appearance of Lu Gui exposed Lafitte to the Navy boss in advance, adding a lot of variables to his follow-up plan.

And the Clover Pirates, with the help of the West Sea, have become a pirate group that has just entered the great voyage and has a bounty of more than 100 million on the entire ship, which is rare on the sea.

When the next day came, the Navy's decision was shipped around the world with the newspapers and news birds, which immediately caused a small wave in some areas.

Like Coral Island in the West Sea, Y-Dragon Island, Xingluo Island, etc., the places they have stayed and the people they know have a good impression of the Clover Pirates, and the old village chief and Peggy are even more honored.

And Titch, Blackbeard, who had returned to Paradise from the New World, also read the news, and he laughed a few times, seemingly not care.

Of course, there are also people who hate Lu Gui to the core, such as Lafitte, who escaped the pursuit of the navy and also entered the great voyage.

He took the newspaper in his hand and looked at the sunglasses boy who was smiling brightly and waving high. The eyes hidden under the hat were full of anger, and the heart was depressed when he thought about the bounty he had raised.

"Boy, let's see you on the sea, I've got my eye on you!"

Lafitte threw away the newspaper and spread his arms, and a pair of white wings appeared, and after identifying a direction, he vibrated his wings and flew away towards the rising sun.
