Chapter 22: The Bridgehead of the New World!
A week after the first week of recuperation, a small portion of the supplies on the Karp warship had been consumed.
Since leaving the sea, Karp has not been updated on the new whereabouts of the Roger Pirates.
Karp realized that this sortie would become the same as the previous ones, and it would become a long-lasting track.
Therefore, while passing through a kingdom called Neil, Karp ordered the warship to stop in the harbor and at the same time notify the officers and men on board to resupply the supplies.
Taking this opportunity, Karp also plans to inquire about the Roger Pirates.
The Kingdom of Neil, a small country in the New World, is said to be a kingdom, but in fact it is just a large island, and in terms of area, it is probably smaller than the Chambord Islands. The permanent population of the island is only a few tens of thousands.
The Kingdom of Neil is small and lowly, and the country itself does not have much military armament, and their kingdom army is only nearly a thousand people.
However, the Kingdom of Neil is in the chaotic area of the New World, and for its own security, the Kingdom of Neil has become a member of the World Government, and it is also the bridgehead of the Navy in the New World, with a naval branch.
But secretly, the kingdom of Neil has some connections with the underground forces, backed by the banner of "Whitebeard", and at the same time, they will also open the door for pirates to enter the new world, so that the pirates have a place to supply.
With both feet on the black and white kingdom of Neil, it was only then that he gained a foothold in the New World.
The political environment of the Neil Kingdom has directly led to the mixing of fish and dragons in the Neil Kingdom, and the naval branch here is also unusually low-key, more often acting as an intelligence collector, and rarely has a direct conflict with the pirates here.
Whenever there is a vicious incident, it is basically the king army of the Nir Kingdom who comes forward. Most of the time, it's the pirates fighting each other, and the King's army doesn't care about it, but when it hurts civilians, the King's army turns to the navy.
When pirates target the noble ministers of the Neal Kingdom, they will pull up Whitebeard's banner and act as their own umbrella.
At this time, it is useless to ask for help from the navy, after all, which of the pirates who can break into the new world is not burdened with bounties? There are so many pirates in the world that need to be hunted down, and with the influence and power of the navy in the new world, it is simply impossible to hunt down every pirate.
After the pirates killed someone, they put the treasure on the ship and set sail, how could the navy hunt down the whole world for a small pirate group? But the Whitebeard Pirates are different, if someone really provokes Whitebeard's majesty, the Whitebeard Pirates will really hunt down and kill all over the world.
In the New World, Whitebeard's name is much more useful than the navy.
As for the role of the navy, more often than not, it is to maintain relative stability in the region, and the capture of pirates depends on the degree of threat.
In the final analysis, the power of the navy is still not enough, so that in the future, in order to strengthen regional stability, the world government has introduced the so-called system of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty.
Legally robbed pirates, do you say funny or not?
A chaotic area like the Kingdom of Neil is often the place where the flow of information is the fastest and most accurate, and Cap's main purpose here is to obtain the whereabouts of Roger's Pirates.
"Bang la la !!" In the naval harbor of the Kingdom of Neil, the anchor of the kobold warship was lowered, and a wooden ladder was derived from the ship and fixed to the ground.
"Squeak...... Squeak ......"
Karp slowly stepped down from the warship, draped in the curtain of justice. Behind him, two lieutenants, Pheasant and Bogart, followed closely. Beside these two adjutants, there was also a red-haired young man with a long knife at his waist and an eye patch, who was Ji Guoyuanyi.
Yuanyi's pair of blindfolds was brought by him from the pheasant's side, and he always used a black cloth to loosen and tie it, which was somewhat inconvenient. The eye mask used for the pheasant to sleep is much more convenient.
In order to speed up the cultivation of domineering, Yuan Yi would wear an eye patch most of the time during the day, and after these days of cultivation and adaptation, his domineering appearance was barely a beginner, even if he wore an eye patch, it would not affect his actions.
The speed of progress has astonished all those on board.
As for the armed color domineering, Yuan Yi's cultivation progress is a little so-so, although he has been able to skillfully use the armed color domineering in attacks, but his armed color domineering is too weak.
When I practiced with Karp, I couldn't even break the defense, far worse than the Axe Emperor Monka~
The leader of the G-10 branch of the Navy stationed in the Kingdom of Neil, a rear admiral named Loka, seems to have known that Karp is coming, and has been waiting in the port early.
Major General Loka was a little older, he looked to be in his seventies, his slender white eyebrows covered the corners of his eyes, and he stood in the harbor waiting with his eyes closed, his head knocked on his head, as if he was dozing off.
Although his body is very strong, the folds on his skin, the age spots on his face, and the full head of gray hair can tell the age of this old navy from the side.
The sound of the wooden ladder being lowered seemed to wake up the old navy, and when he opened a slit with his closed eyes, he saw Karp, and the old navy's face showed a smile, and the old voice rolled with the Adam's apple and reached everyone's ears:
"It's here so soon, and your temperament hasn't changed at all, Karp."
Although Loka is only a major general, he is directly addressed by his first name when he addresses Karp. None of the officers and men of the Navy who followed Karp showed a look of surprise, and they all greeted Rear Admiral Loka familiarly.
"Major General Loka!"
Loka waved his hand to the officers and soldiers behind Karp, said "Go get busy", and then turned his gaze to Karp's body, and said bluntly: "Recently, I haven't received any more news about Roger. ”
"Hahahaha, Uncle Loca, I'm mainly here to see you this time." Karp laughed. Hearing this, Loka only shook his head and said lightly:
"Let's go, let's go get some rest."
As the words fell, Loka and Karp walked side by side towards the naval branch not far away. At this moment, Yuan Yi had already taken off his blindfold, looked at Major General Luoka who was walking in front with some curiosity, patted the thigh of the pheasant next to him, and asked:
"Kuzan, who is this Major General Loka?"
"Looks like you know Lieutenant General Karp well?"
Hearing this, the pheasant lowered his head and explained with a smile: "Oh, Rear Admiral Loka, he is the most famous intelligence officer in the navy. ”
"Lieutenant General Karp, when he was young, he studied under Major General Luoka, not only Lieutenant General Karp, Lieutenant General Crane, but also the Warring States General all stayed under him for a period of time."
When Yuan Yi heard this, he was a little puzzled, and continued to ask: "Is the most famous intelligence officer?" In this way, aren't the abilities and qualifications very powerful? But why just a major general? ”
Yuan Yi lowered his voice, a little puzzled.
However, this time, it was not the pheasant who answered Yuanyi, but Major General Luoka, who was at the forefront.
"That's because I, old man, am tired of life at sea."
"People, you still have to live a down-to-earth life, so that you can live for two more years."
Major General Loka and Karp were four or five meters away from Yuanyi and Pheasant, but Yuanyi's deliberately suppressed voice was still heard by Major General Luoka.
When Yuan Yi heard this, he lowered his head a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that this major general would have such a keen sense of hearing. It's a bit rude to be caught probing someone behind your back.
"I'm sorry, Major General Loka." Enichi apologized after a brief moment of embarrassment.
Loka in front of him had stopped for a while, waiting for Yuanyi and them to follow, and when he heard Yuanyi's apology, Luoka waved his hand, not caring at all. After looking at Ji Guoyuanyi, he asked Karp:
"What kind of person is this kid, with a new face."
When Karp heard this, he lowered his chin towards Yuanyi and motioned for Yuanyi to say it himself.
"Major General Loka, my name is Jiguo Yuanyi."
Lorka nodded when he heard this, and his old face suddenly showed an emotional look: "Such a young navy, I haven't seen it for a long time." ”
"Boy, are you curious why I could hear what you just said?"
"Hehe, old man, I'm a hearing person who eats the fruit of listening, if I want, I can hear everyone on this island!"
When Yuan Yi heard this, his expression was clear, and he sighed with emotion: "Can you hear everyone's words.... That's really hard. ”
When Loka heard this, he looked stunned, stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed:
"Hahaha!"
"Interesting boy!"
Then he ignored Yuan Yi and the others, pulled Karp, and walked towards the base.
