The fate of human beings often changes dramatically because he encounters different people and things.

August.

The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the sea is blue.

The ripples of the tide, lapping against the shores of Dressrosa, and the sea breeze blowing, convey a coolness that naturally ignores the salty smell in the air.

"Whew~"

"Here we go again!"

"Dressrosa, this place has really changed a lot!"

A small boat, no more than five or six meters long, slowly sailed into the harbor and stopped at the pier at the very edge of the harbor. A middle-aged man stood in the cockpit, holding the rudder with both hands, looking at the lively scene in the port of Dressrosa, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

The middle-aged man was about forty or fifty years old, perhaps because of the perennial sailing, and the skin on his face, although not obvious around, was very rough. The only thing that can mark a man's age is the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the slight gray hair hidden by a red hat.

The middle-aged man was wearing black trousers, a pair of brown leather boots, a red floral shirt, and a Western knife pinned to his waist. It gives people a casual, rugged feeling.

Perhaps because of the hot weather, the middle-aged man's shirt was not buttoned for a moment, and his chest was exposed. In the sea breeze, the shirt fluttered in the wind, and faintly, several scars on the man's body could be seen.

This middle-aged man is the One Piece who left his wife and re-entered the new world. D. Roger.

"What the hell is going on, just use my eyes to confirm for yourself!"

As he spoke, Roger grabbed a small backpack by the rudder and stepped out of the wheelhouse. After lowering the anchor and stabilizing the boat, Roger looked around to see that no one noticed him, and then jumped lightly, landed on the dock, and walked towards the middle of the dock.

Ever since Jikokuyi and his Dwan branch were located in Dressrosa, the port has really been one day at a time.

It's been five months since the Giant Pirates ravaged Dressrosa, and after that horrific man-made disaster, the branch of the Successor to the First National Origin has begun to build on the ruins.

Since the area of the naval branch is 100 acres, it is 66,000 square meters to simply convert. In this era, there was no high-level working machinery, so the construction of the branch completely depended on manpower.

The area occupied by the Navy Branch is large enough, even if it excludes the vacant land and school yards that only need to be simply filled, and the area where houses need to be built, it still occupies nearly 20,000 square meters.

In order to speed up the construction period, siphon the population, and quickly rejuvenate the port, Ji Guoyuanyi also recruited as many craftsmen as possible for this purpose.

The construction of such a naval branch alone required nearly 5,000 craftsmen.

A large working population means a large amount of spending power, and during the period of the construction of the naval branch, there were people and traders in Dressrosa, who saw the future of the port, and spontaneously bought real estate, shops, and all kinds of shops here as if they were mushrooms after a rain.

After several months of development, it has developed into a closed-loop consumption town.

In addition, they sat in Dressrosa, which created a peaceful business environment here, and Dressrosa's maritime trade was becoming more and more developed.

Liku King has always been concerned about the navy, as well as the development of this seaport, after realizing the potential here, Liku Wang also used the country's rights to start vigorously developing the seaport, the entire wharf, the seaport has been expanded.

More labor has made business more developed here, and in addition to normal dining, there are more and more places to consume other kinds of consumption.

Out of gratitude, and for the convenience of the navy's travel, King Liku also demarcated an exclusive area for their branch in this port, which was only accessible to warships, and no other merchant ships and civilian ships were allowed to travel.

So when Roger landed on the island, he was directed to the very edge of the harbor.

When he walked to the central area of the dock, the first thing he saw was the blue and white Navy branch complex.

"Wow! It's a shame, the Navy is preparing to do a big job in Dressrosa! ”

Seeing Dwan's huge complex, Roger sighed, his tone full of mockery, and his face became unusually ugly.

Looking at the busy people on the dock, Roger frowned, and began to look carefully around this huge complex, and at the same time, Roger's domineering appearance quickly enveloped the entire naval branch.

After a brief perception, Roger's face became more solemn, and in this hot summer, his face could already drip gloomily.

"Such a huge naval branch has been established, and so many craftsmen have been used!"

"And there are women and children"

"That kid, who became a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters at a young age, has he been blinded by power?"

Roger's domineering aura swept towards the branch that was still under construction, and he immediately sensed the breath of countless people, the breath of most of them was peaceful and weak, and among these breaths, there were nearly a hundred breaths that were extremely weak.

There is no need to perceive it carefully at all, to know that those people are underage children, and even judging by the activity of the breath, these children are still working.

As a pirate, Roger doesn't believe in the that labor is the most glorious, Roger has always believed that labor is God's punishment for mankind.

Such a punishment is already painful for adults, and it is for children. That's going to be punished by heaven!

But such a situation has arisen in the branch of Jiguo Yuanyi.

Roger's main purpose in coming to Dressrosa this time is to see what this "naval future" that dares to attack the "Draco Shield" is doing.

Now it seems that he was greatly disappointed.

Roger didn't feel any strong aura in the naval branch, and when he looked at the military port, he didn't see any warships in the port.

It seems that the people in the navy should have something to leave.

After a little thought, Roger found a tavern on the side of the street and walked in.

"Boss, here's a bottle of Bremestre."

Passing through the cowboy door, Roger glanced at the empty tavern, walked to the bar, and sat down on the seat in front of the bar. Placing his small backpack on the empty stool next to him, Roger beckoned to the owner behind the bar.

"Oh?"

"Spirits?"

"It's really unusual to come to the tavern early in the morning to drink spirits!"

"Guest, has something happened to you?"

As we all know, all bar owners are self-cooked chatterbox, and in the chatterboxing world, bar owners, taxi drivers, hairdressers, and real estate agents are known as the four kings of the chatterbox.

Such a law, even in another world, is the same.

No, the bar owner, who was wiping his glass behind the bar, glanced at Roger and immediately smiled and accosted.

"Hahahaha!"

"Boss, you look at people so accurately, hahahaha!"

When Roger heard this, he immediately burst out laughing. The bar owner saw Roger's cheerful appearance, and while taking out the wine from the wine cabinet behind him, he accosted:

"If you don't mind, can you tell me about it?"

"If something unpleasant happens, there is no way to solve it by drinking alone!"

"Speaking out will make people feel better."

The boss helped open Bremestre, put it in front of Roger, and handed a cup.

But before he thought about it, Roger didn't even need the glass he handed over, grabbed the wine bottle, and drank it tons and tons.

A 700ml bottle of red wine was half dried in one sip.

"Bang!" After taking a sip, Roger slammed the bottle on the table, then raised his head and smiled at the boss and said:

"What an unpleasant thing! There really is. ”

"It's really annoying that some people have grown beyond my expectations and disrupted my plans."

Roger said in a deep voice, the boss heard this, briefly looked at Roger's appearance, and immediately answered with a smile:

"yes, yes!"

"People of our age, in addition to work, that is, children's affairs are the most unpleasant."

"You don't know, that kid in my family is also disobedient."

"It's not good to learn business with me, but you are clamoring to be a navy in the future, you say, what's so good about the navy?"

"It's nothing more than relying on justice, a little momentum, a little strength, a little power, and there are hundreds of thousands of Baileys every year."

"Pin your head to the waistband of your pants for these things, and if you die, there's nothing left."

"Alas, I don't listen to persuasion!"

The barkeeper obviously misunderstood Roger, and said what he thought was empathetic, and as he spoke, he took two more bottles of Bremest from the wine cabinet and put them on the table, opened one of his own, grabbed a glass, and sat down to chat with Roger.

At this time of day, there are very few people in the bar, and generally speaking, the business of the bar will peak in the evening.

Finally, there was a customer to accompany him to relieve his boredom, and the bar owner stopped what he was doing and accompanied Roger to drink.

Roger didn't explain anything to his boss, and smiled when he heard this. However, when Roger heard that the boss's child actually planned to become a navy, and listened to the boss's quite positive evaluation of the navy just now, his expression was also stunned.

It sounds like this boss doesn't have any complaints about the Navy?

It's such a thing to use so many people to build branches in this country. The people of this country seem to be unimpressed?

"Boss, listen to what you just said."

"Seems like it's good to be in the navy, right?"

"Speaking of which, I see that on the other side of your tavern, isn't there a naval branch being built?"

"That's amazing! With so many craftsmen building the navy branch, the navy must have spent a lot of money. ”

Roger sighed with emotion, and as he spoke, his eyes were aimed at the bar owner, observing the other party's expression. I thought that this boss would start pouring bitter water and accusing the Navy of its criminal acts.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Roger's words, this boss nodded seriously and continued: "Yes, in order to build this naval branch, Vice Admiral Jiguo Yuan spent a lot of money!" ”

Hearing this, Roger was visibly stunned.

As far as he knows. The Navy builds naval branches in member countries, and only pays one material cost and labor, all of which are built by the manpower organized by the member countries of the world government.

The member states use civil power. When was the payment made? This is a feudal society with an aristocratic system, and ordinary people are arbitrarily deployed!

To Roger's surprise, the Navy seemed to pay for the construction of a naval branch in Dressrosa?

"To build a naval branch, the craftsmen are paid very well, with a little skill, they can get 6,000 Baileys by working for nine hours a day, and those who sell their physical strength have 3,500 Baileys a day."

"The elderly, children and children who are relatively weak in labor are paid by the hour, and for every hour they work, the navy gives 200-300 Baileys."

"And the Navy still provides food and lodging."

"In Dressrosa, artisans are able to get this money, and if they save a little, they can make a good living."

"In order to be able to maintain such welfare conditions, Lieutenant General Ji Guoyuan has been coming to Dressrosa, and as long as he gets the news of the pirates, he will go to sea immediately."

"It's really hard! Lieutenant General Lord him. ”

When the boss talked about Jiguo Yuanyi, his eyes were full of admiration and gratitude, which surprised Roger.

He seems to have thought things wrong, and although Ji Guoyuan Yi mobilized civilian forces to build a branch in Dressrosa, he was obviously different from the rest of the navy.

Roger had roughly perceived the number of craftsmen who were building the naval branch before, and roughly calculated, Ji Guoyuan would have to spend almost 20 million Baileys a day to maintain such welfare conditions, which is still an estimate, and the real figure will only be higher.

And when Roger estimated this value, he was also stunned, and his face was shocked.

With so much money, where does Jiguo Yuanyi come from?! Will the Navy Headquarters provide so much money for the construction of a branch? What do you dream about?

And it's just a branch, Ji Guoyuanyi actually occupies tens of thousands of square meters of territory, this is still the camp part, plus the coast and sea area derived from the naval branch, I'm afraid there is about 200,000 square meters of territory.

What was he going to do?

Generally speaking, a naval branch has nearly 100 people, and the branch of thousands of people is already very large, and the navy that can lead 1,000 people is at least a rear admiral-level officer or above in the headquarters.

If the construction of this branch is completed, the number of people that can accommodate it will probably be five or six thousand.

A branch, with more than a dozen or even dozens of branches across the world, this scale is the largest Roger knows except for the main department.

"To build such a big naval branch in the new world, the power in this kid's hands is inevitably too big?"

"Is there no one to restrain him?"

"It's not easy to keep a Navy of this size running"

"Is this kid already capable of doing this kind of thing?"

"Looks like it's time to meet this kid"

Roger listened to the words of the bar owner, and began to silently calculate the strength of the naval branch of Ji Guoyuanyi, and the result was also very surprising to Roger.

If these five or six thousand navies will be fully equipped . Following the national edge one, dozens of warships can be sent to sea at the same time.

If the branch gives birth to a few powerful middle-level officers, one vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters following the national edge, he can launch a demon slaying order on four or five islands at the same time

It can be said that when Ji Guoyuanyi completely built the branch and recruited and trained the navy, although his military rank was only a vice admiral of the navy headquarters, in terms of power, it was enough to compete with the general.

Thinking of this, Roger was shocked or shocked in his heart, he didn't know if the high-level officials of the Navy Headquarters knew what Ji Guoyuan was doing in Dressrosa.

Roger thought to himself that if he were a senior in the Navy, he would never allow this to happen.

The barkeeper saw that Roger suddenly fell silent, as if he was thinking about something, so he didn't make a sound. It was Roger himself who noticed his gaffe, adjusted his mood, and chatted with the boss.

And the content of the chat also revolves around Ji Guoyuanyi and his navy.

The bar owner didn't have any doubts about this, after all, Roger wasn't the first outsider to talk to him about it.

In a place like the New World, the naval branch stationed in Dressrosa is the focus of everyone's attention.

And when Roger landed in Dressrosa, Ji Guoyuan was leading a group of navies to "fish" at sea.

It's just that the "fish" caught by Yuan Yi is very different from the fish caught by others.

The fish he was catching was a large group of pirates with a total bounty of more than 700 million Bailey, the Moonlight Pirates.

The captain of this pirate group is one of the future Seven Martial Seas, Moonlight Moria!
