A week later.

From the windless zone all the way to the sixteenth branch, about eight days.

And in the past eight days, a hundred sailors on the warship have been very busy, because...

They were all busy with the cook, making Neptune jerky.

Otherwise, I am afraid that most of the meat will spoil before the sixteenth branch.

At the same time, according to the tasks assigned by Sean, Luqi also carried out meticulously, and finally confirmed several things.

First, this special sea king meat is only particularly effective when you eat it for the first time, and although it can have a lasting effect when you eat it later, it is not as great as the first time.

According to the records of the past eight days, from the second time you eat, you can only get about 10%-20% of the growth of the first time, which varies according to each person's physique.

However, due to its sustainable growth characteristics, it still has a high strategic value.

As for whether there is still this special sea king in the windless zone, what Lu Qi's report says is that the probability is very small.

After all, there are not a few people who have killed and eaten sea kings in this world, but they have never heard of such a thing.

But he overlooked one thing.

That's...

This sea king was not born naturally.

Second, eating multiple times a day has no additional effect, and it seems that there is a limit to the amount of energy that can be digested and absorbed each day.

Usually the first meal can already meet the limit of a person's digestion and absorption that day, not that you can enhance it a hundred times a day by eating 100 meals.

Therefore, Lu Qi suggested in the report that only one meal a day should be arranged for the mariners, and the other two meals should still be used in the strategy of ordinary meals.

In this way, these precious ingredients will not be wasted, and the existing dried meat of these sea kings in their hands is enough for the sixteen branches of these sailors to eat for half a year.

Finally, it's an estimate.

According to Lu Qi's estimate, relying on these sea king jerky, all the sailors in the sixteen branches will break through 100 forces in half a year.

Even some people who originally had relatively high Dao power and had good physical talent should be able to break through 200 Dao power.

Don't underestimate the two hundred Dao forces, that's basically the strength of the level of the major in the headquarters.

In other words, half a year later, all the 100 naval generals in their hands will be lieutenants, and there are even many people who can reach the strength of school officers!

The most important thing is that this report only elaborates on the effect of this batch of sea kings' flesh and blood, and does not calculate the results of the training of these sea soldiers for half a year.

In other words, the final overall effect should be stronger than in the report.

As for whether it will improve people's innate physique, it will be easier for them to cultivate physical arts in the future.

This will take more time to observe.

That concludes Lucci's report.

Good guys, this is really good guys.

After reading it, Sean also had to sigh.

------

Now there was no one else in the entire sixteen branches, except for a group of sailors sent by Smoker.

After all, whether it's the branch chief or the sailors under his command...

Previously, they were all taken to the headquarters for investigation and trial.

After handing over to the remaining marines, Sean got everyone into action.

Although there is such a team of sailors stationed, after all, there are only a few people, and it is impossible to clean up your entire branch every day.

Therefore, in the past six months or so, most of the sixteen branches have been full of cobwebs.

I'm afraid that if I don't clean it for a few days, I won't be able to recover.

Of course, the first priority is to clear out a warehouse in the right conditions for storing Neptune jerky.

Every sailor is very sad about this.

I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.

It's all with Luki in command, and Sean cares about something else.

"I said the old man of the Warring States, let alone Bailey in these sixteen branches, there is not even anything to eat and drink, do you want to starve us to death?"

"What do you say, stinky boy, the supplies have been arranged for me, and they should be delivered tomorrow, and the supplies on your warship should last a few days, as for the funds, you can figure it out yourself!"

"What, you didn't even give a Bailey, and you want me to figure it out myself?"

Sean's eyes widened.

Old man of the Warring States, you have gone too far!

"Sean, let me tell you something, in fact, the World Government's annual allocation is only enough for about thirty percent of the Navy's military expenses."

"So how do you think the remaining seventy percent of the vacancies came from?"

......

......

Hearing this, Sean was stunned for a moment.

The annual allocation of the world government to the navy is only 30% of the expenditure of the navy?

This thing doesn't seem to have been mentioned in the original book.

But the appearance of the Warring States does not look like lying, so how can such a big gap as the remaining seventy percent be filled?

There seems to be only one possible answer, and that is...

Pirate!

That's right, the Navy exterminates so many pirates every year, and each one of them captures a lot of money from their pirate ships or bases.

Especially those pirates on the Great Voyage, there are millions of Baileys, and at most hundreds of millions or even more Baileys.

So this year, it is definitely a huge fortune to rely on seizures alone.

But at the same time, another question came to Sean's mind.

If the navy strangles the pirates too hard, causing the number of pirate groups to decrease dramatically, or completely curbing this era of pirates...

So will the Navy collapse on its own because of funding problems?

After all, the world government doesn't give enough money, and the number of pirates is decreasing, so the navy doesn't have enough extra money.

In this way, even if it does not collapse, I am afraid that half of the people, warships, and bases will have to be eliminated to maintain the balance of payments.

I'm afraid that this matter was deliberately done by the world government from the very beginning, right?

Just like the five old stars said in the original book, the balance of the three major forces is the cornerstone of the world government's maintenance of rule.

Through the hand of military control, the world government can prevent the navy from becoming bigger on the one hand, and on the other hand, when the pirate strength is weakened, the navy must not wield a knife to harm itself and weaken itself.

On the one hand, the pirates were retained, so that various countries had to rely on the world government, and on the other hand, they were able to control the strength of the navy.

That's a good hand!

If you want to solve this situation, it is not impossible.

One of the easiest ways is to go directly to the empty island and take down the golden town of Sandora, where the gold reserves are enough for the navy to use for dozens or hundreds of years.

Didn't you read the original book, Luffy and they picked up some small things casually and sold them for 300 million Bailey?

And just one pillar of the golden bell, with the huge effect drawn in the original book, must be worth hundreds of billions of Baileys.

As for the gold of the entire Shandora, I am afraid that it is directly used as the basic unit of trillions of Baileys.

Hanging up the phone bug, Sean called for Lucky.

"Lu Qi, you arrange, leave half of the people in the branch to be responsible for cleaning and some necessary repairs, and then the rest of the people will go to sea with me tomorrow morning!"

"Brigadier General, do you want to..."

"As a navy, of course we're going to fight pirates, otherwise what else can we do?"

"Yes, I see!"

Lu Qi nodded, not suspicious of him.

And Sean is thinking about which pirates in the East China Sea are richer.

And there's...

Isn't it time for me to take a trip to the kingdom of Jumeida?

Although the Campbell family has nothing to do with him technically, after all, he is a time-traveler.

But the huge assets that originally belonged to themselves can't be cheapened like this, aren't those garbage?

This matter, even if it is noticed by the five old stars, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

After all, the identity of my body...

It's right here, isn't it?
