Starting from the pirates, pushing the world

Chapter 48 Please read!The best Navy second generation!
In the South China Sea, the base of the 194th Division of the Navy stationed on Watermelon Island.

The reason why this island is called Watermelon Island is because its island shape is an oval when viewed from above, with a narrow extension area like a melon vine at the top of the north, and two inside that look like melon patterns. The curved river looks like an oversized flat watermelon as a whole.

The most important thing is that more than [-]% of the area on the island is all melon fields, [-]% belongs to the naval base, and the last [-]% is the living area of ​​residents.

In fact, the initial residential area accounted for [-]% of the area, but since the navy came to a new colonel five years ago, the expansion of the naval base has become larger and larger, until now it has occupied more than [-]% of the area.

Because melon fields are their main source of income, the residents are not willing to reduce the scope of melon fields for living space. Coupled with the gradual increase in population, their current living environment is very blocked.

But even so, people could only hold back their anger.

One is that they cannot resist, and the other is that the existence of the naval base has indeed avoided the harassment of pirates.

Now everyone knows that there are more and more pirates on the sea. Residents who are in charge of selling melons on other islands can often hear that villages or towns on a certain island have been looted by pirates or something.

In recent months, when they went out to sell melons, they were escorted by warships all the way.

Of course it was not free, but the naval base offered to provide full protection services with 40.00% of the total sales of melons as remuneration.

This is another choice that makes residents feel helpless.

It is of course a good thing to have a navy escort, at least to ensure the safety of the melon seller and the watermelon, but the 40.00% share is too high.

As a result, the living conditions of the residents of the entire Watermelon Island have changed from being relatively affluent and relaxed before to only enough for food and clothing now.

Inside the base, there are three blue-painted pillar-shaped buildings, one tall and two short. The front is an extremely empty playground, and the rear is connected to the port wharf, scattered with many small warehouse-style buildings.

A rosy-faced, strong-bodied sailor was guarding everywhere with a musket in his hand. Eight small warships were moored side by side in the port. This type of warship can generally carry 300 people, and the maximum is 500 people.

At this time, on the top floor of the main building, in an office with a space of nearly [-] square meters, Colonel Harros, who was born with light yellow hair and a hooked nose, was standing in front of the large French windows admiring the picture of the entire island, looking from time to time. Looking at the more distant horizon.

"Calculate the time, it should be here soon."

【Dong dong dong! 】

"Come in."

An ordinary major walked in with an ordinary wooden box, closed the door, and looked at the back of Colonel Harros respectfully.

"Base Chief, the goods over there have arrived, as well as your things."

"arrive!"

The latter turned around abruptly, looked at the wooden box in the opponent's hand in surprise, walked over quickly and took it over, just about to open it for a look, then stopped, and glanced at the major in front of him.

"You go out first."

"Yes!"

When the people left the office, Colonel Harros couldn't wait to lift the lid of the wooden box. In the next second, a bright green devil fruit covered with spiral patterns appeared in front of his eyes, with a card inside.

"Haha, it's finally here, now my son's future is guaranteed!"

I saw him excitedly taking out the devil fruit and looking it up and down, as if looking at a rare treasure, and it is indeed a treasure in terms of price alone.

He spent a full [-] million Baileys to buy it from King Taklama, and he used up half of his life savings.

Fortunately, since I became the head of the base here, I have earned a lot of income every year. This does not refer to the money sold by the island residents. How much is it worth? fee'.

Of course, this was not aimed at himself as the colonel of the branch, but at his position as the base chief of the 194th branch.

The so-called 'goods' just now refers to this!

The son of Colonel Harros is named Gaspardi. Because he was born tall, strong, and powerful, and he was recommended by his letter, he entered the Navy Headquarters three years ago and became a third-class soldier.

But after so many years, he has only been promoted to a first-class soldier now. Although he contacted his son and said that he will be promoted to a corps leader soon, he still feels that it is too slow.

In fact, he also understands that the promotion of the Navy Headquarters must be much more difficult than that of the Four Seas Branch, and the pirates on the great route are also stronger.

So for the sake of Gaspardi's future and safety, he wanted to find a powerful devil fruit to send to him, but although he is a navy captain, his energy is actually just that.

Of course, the Navy Headquarters actually has channels for exchanging military exploits for Devil Fruits, but not to mention the trouble and effort, and secondly, the ability of the fruits cannot be guaranteed. After so many years, the real good fruits have long been picked away!

For this reason, he was troubled for several days, and finally thought of seeking help from King Taklama, who had "supernatural powers" and "powers all over the world".

At first I just asked with the intention of giving it a try, but it didn't take long before the other party was really willing to offer a devil fruit that sounded very reliable.

The special superhuman jelly candy can give the ability user a jellylike ability similar to natural elementalization!
Colonel Harros was naturally extremely satisfied with such a pleasant surprise, but the other party was not without conditions.

One is that the price needs to be [-] million!
It is extremely expensive, and the market price of a normal superhuman devil fruit is only about [-] million Baileys, but this is a special superhuman, so it is understandable.

The second is that he must ensure that he will not be transferred in the next five years.

This is fine, because the current navy has no term of office, as long as there are no mistakes during the tenure, or some great achievements that make the headquarters have to pay attention, basically they will not be resigned or promoted.

He just needs to hang on!
The third is to further support the business of the Thutmose Kingdom, for example, to help send fleet escorts when needed.

Anyway, he agreed.

"With this special superhuman jelly candy, Gaspardi will at least be a colonel in the headquarters in the future, and he may not even be promoted to a general. In that way, I will be able to rely on my management of the South China Sea!"

Colonel Harrods is well aware of his talent, even if he eats the upper limit of the devil fruit, he might as well give it to his gifted son.

If there is really a son of an admiral in the future, then he basically has no scruples in this piece of South China Sea.

【Dong dong dong! 】

At this time, the door of the office was knocked again, which made Colonel Harros, who was in the longing for a bright future, frowned a little displeased, but still put the jelly candies back into the box.

"Come in."

"What's the matter?"

I saw the major came in and reported: "The base chief, Major General Monch D. Dorag of Marlin Fando, led a fleet of five warships from the headquarters to the South China Sea, saying that he wanted to capture the Black Cat Pirates and the White Pirates." The cat pirates asked us to help investigate the location, and are ready to support at any time."

"What, five warships?"

Colonel Harrods looked puzzled.

"Although the bounties for the 'Black Cat' and 'White Cat' are quite high, and there are quite a few of them, there is no need for so many warships, do you want us to support them at any time?"

The fleet led by Drago, as the major said, must be a headquarters-class warship. When he took his son to report to Marin Vanduo, he had seen with his own eyes how terrifying the specifications of those warships were.

"Ahem, Major General Ai Wen, who is currently serving as Major General Drago's adjutant, told me quietly that this Major General Drago is the son of Lieutenant General Karp, so we ask all our ministries in the South China Sea to take it seriously!" The major added dumbfoundingly. road.

Colonel Harros was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing suddenly.

"So that's it, that's the way it is, the son of a naval hero, he's here to make some military exploits, then these two cats are out of luck, if this operation goes well, it's okay, if they hurt Major General Dorag, Tsk tsk, the consequences are even worse, hahahahaha!"

After finishing speaking, he straightened his expression, looked at the major with serious eyes, and ordered: "Go ahead with the order and prepare to dispatch the warship. As soon as the order arrives, set off immediately without delay!"

In his opinion, this is a rare opportunity to get in touch with Drago, and it would be even better if he had the opportunity to mention his son's name in front of him.

The son of Lieutenant General Garp, this is the top second generation in the navy system!

　Don’t keep them anymore recently, I beg you, let me have the first one to test the waters, otherwise it is really possible to run naked to the shelves! !
