Pirates: Beyond Akainu

Chapter 115 Beautiful and Cruel

"We must listen to public opinion, but we must not be coerced by public opinion. Now the people of the Chambord Islands want our navy headquarters to move back. What do you think of the navy stationed here?"

In the conference room, Akainu asked the base commander Londo for his opinion.

Rondo looked trembling on the surface, but after analyzing Akainu's words in his mind, he knew that it was impossible to move back.But judging from Akainu's performance, he knew that it was impossible to ignore it completely.

This put Rondo in a difficult position and he couldn't answer for a while.

At this time, Dalmesia walked up to Akainu and said in a low voice: "The people outside have not left yet, and they are gathering more and more. They raised slogans and strongly requested to move back to the Navy headquarters."

Akainu mused.He didn't give any reply to the people who asked at the dock just now. Instead, he pushed through the crowd and came to the base to hold a meeting, but at the same time he did not give an order to drive them away.

Standing behind Akaken, Turan thought that Akaken was worried and wanted to solve the problem, and suggested: "Marshal, why don't you persuade them to go back first, if it doesn't work, just threaten them."

"Or if you kill a few people, they must be honest! How can we allow them to be arrogant!" A hawkish major general blurted out his inner thoughts without hesitation.

This earned Akainu a piercing cold glare.

"No, Marshal, I didn't mean that..." the major general hurriedly defended.

Akainu did not investigate him further, because he knew that many of the officers who followed him had this idea.

This is Akainu's responsibility in the past and my own responsibility now.Rather, what I have done in the past two months has deepened everyone's inherent impression of "Akainu's behavior".

"Navy, killing and fighting cannot solve all problems. Now ordinary people in the Chambord Islands are asking our navy. If we can handle it properly, this will greatly enhance the image of our navy."

Lieutenant General Bastiu said bluntly: "But the people now want us to move back to the headquarters. This is impossible."

Akainu sighed, it was indeed impossible on this issue.At the same time, he knew that in the original timeline, after the Navy Headquarters moved away, the Shampoo Islands had indeed become illegal zones.

Rondo, who gradually got the idea of ​​Akainu, said at this time: "There is another way, that is, although the navy headquarters has moved, as long as the navy can still maintain the previous deterrence in the Chambord Islands."

"I guess that the reason why the people are so angry now is because the illegal activities that were originally only entrenched in the 1st to 29th have now slowly eroded to other areas. During this period of time, many ordinary people have moved away because they feel disturbed."

Akainu cast a surprised look at Rondo, not expecting that this flattering guy actually had some real ability.

"Colonel Rondo is right." Akainu praised without hesitation.

"No, no." Rondo stood up and declined, and added: "It was the Marshal's New Navy newspaper that reminded me. I couldn't sleep at night after reading the first issue of the New Navy. I felt that our New Navy has to bear more responsibilities than the Old Navy. There is a lot of responsibility."

"Marshal, don't worry, I will immediately launch a hundred-day anti-gang operation, which will definitely give those human traffickers a heavy blow!"

Rondo patted his chest and said plausibly. Anyone can see such poor acting skills, but no one can pick out the fault.

Even Akainu couldn't say anything, not to mention Rondo also scratched the pain point of the New Navy News that Akainu has not improved.

Akainu understands.Many times, those in power have to deal with subordinates like Rondo, who are all-rounded, and you can't attack him publicly.

For example, now, because of Rondo's words, Akainu even gave up the idea of ​​eradicating Rondo.I feel that such a "talent" has a place suitable for him.

"Marshal! Several government officials are outside. They are here to convey the order of Saint Morgan Feller, the Celestial Dragon, asking you, Marshal, to come and see you."

Suddenly, a messenger hurried to Akainu to report.

Akainu was startled when he heard the news, and then smiled: "Everyone, as I said before, the Tianlong people are the largest buyers in the slave market of the Shampoo Islands, so I can understand the lack of action by the navy before."

The officers from the headquarters at the scene were fine after hearing this, but Rondo and other branch officers were surprised when they heard this. Unexpectedly, Marshal Akainu directly pointed out the biggest unspoken rule.

Akainu continued: "Things related to the Celestial Dragons must not be touched casually, so how do we combat and clean up the slave trading industry on the island?"

Dalmecia's eyes turned cold: "With our current strength, we can completely clean up the illegal zones 1 to 29. Since ordinary people can't do anything, let's eradicate the evil forces and no one will gossip."

"In this case..." Akainu was about to answer, but the communications soldier who had been waiting beside him couldn't help but remind him: "Marshal, the government personnel outside..."

"Oh, I almost forgot. Go and tell them for me that Saint Morgan Feller is not qualified to order me. I will only go to see the situation if he is dead."

Akainu casually dismissed the signal corpsmen. This move once again shocked Rondo and other branch officers. Rondo even drew a new portrait of Akainu in his heart. What on earth was the new marshal thinking?

"Going back to the question just now, is it okay to just start killing?" Akakenu took a sip of tea before answering: "My answer is no, at least not now, human trafficking has become a mature industrial chain and many related industries here. Sophisticated economic activity of industrial workers."

"What is economic activity? You all come from military backgrounds and may not understand it well. The government is also full of food and drink. I won't make a long speech here. I just want to warn you that economic activities cannot be extinguished with an iron fist."

Dalmecia was not convinced after hearing this, and did not dare to refute loudly. She muttered in a low voice: "I don't believe that if we kill them all, who will do human trafficking."

Akainu: "You still underestimate what economic activity is, so let me answer you with your logic. We can kill all those people now, and then what? Do you think the related industries will not recover after we leave?" Do we have to stay here forever?"

Bastiu asked puzzledly: "Why does the slave industry recover even if all the bad guys are killed?"

“Because if there is demand, there will be a market, and if there is no market, a market will be created.”

This group of soldiers still couldn't understand what they heard, but they felt that what Marshal Akainu said made sense.

Rondo smiled and carefully asked Akainu: "Isn't there no solution to this?"

Akainu: "Of course not. If we can't eliminate the market now, we can at least standardize the market so that it doesn't go around and disturb ordinary people."

"Okay, I already have an idea about this matter. Just listen to my arrangements. Colonel Rondo, you are the base commander here. You are responsible for persuading the people outside first. Remember not to use violence. If someone gets hurt, ask for it."

"Ah? No, I promise to complete the mission!" Under Akainu's cold eyes, Rondo hurriedly changed his attitude.

Akainu believes that Rondo can handle such an incident with his flexibility.

……

……

Grand Desolo.

After the last Tianlong incident, the world's number one casino in the past has been deserted, and is no longer the glittering and luxurious place it used to be.

The right to use this giant ship was given to Bucky by Akainu. Although all the gold on the ship was emptied by Akainu and most of it was handed over to the World Government, the hull itself is still very valuable.

This is a top-notch town with complete urban facilities and tall buildings, so Bucky was naturally overjoyed to take over it, and immediately moved the headquarters of his "Bucky Express" company here.

After this period of familiarization and care, Bucky has begun preparations for reopening.Not to mention restoring its former glory, as long as there is one-tenth of the previous passenger flow, it can still make a lot of money.

On the golden throne of Tezoro in the past, now sat Baki, flanked by MR3, Arrita and Baki's two old team members, the beast tamer Mochi and the unicycle swordsman Kabaji.

suddenly.

A big-headed figure who looked like an owl emerged from the ground and appeared in front of Bucky. It turned out to be Tanaka, Tezolo's former subordinate.

Bucky saw that Tanaka was not panicked and was already very familiar with him, so he asked, "Does the marshal have any latest instructions?"

Tanaka: "The marshal asked you to send someone or personally to the Chambord Islands to take over the slave trading business."

"What?!" Bucky was surprised: "The marshal can find a way for me to get involved in such a lucrative industry?!"

"Yes, let's go."

"I will send a large number of my subordinates there immediately to thank Mr. Tianzhong for passing on the message."

Tanaka nodded with his hands behind his back and disappeared underground.

MR3 was still shocked with a runny nose: "To be honest, I still don't understand why this guy would be loyal to the Navy, especially since Akainu killed his boss."

Bucky curled his lips: "What do you know? It's called a man who knows the current affairs. Besides, he is not loyal to the navy. He is obviously loyal to the great Marshal Akainu!"

Arrita spread her hands and shook her head: "Stop talking about MR3. Look, Bucky is loyal to the Navy and Akainu now."

"Hmph! What do you know!" Bucky crossed his arms and was dissatisfied, "I'm doing this all to make money, and money is real. I watched the Marshal's inauguration ceremony some time ago, and I thought he didn't make money anymore. Now Well, the marshal still wants to make money."

"Why do you keep Akainu when he doesn't make money?" MR3 slandered in his heart, but said on the face: "But that Tanaka is always here, making me think he is watching us."

"Oh, no matter what, hurry up and recruit people to make money. Mochi, I will leave this task to you, and take Leach with you."

Leach is Mochi's pet lion. At this moment, the two of them listened to Bucky's words and were grateful.I thought to myself that Mr. Bucky still hasn’t forgotten his old team. If there is a chance to make money, he will still remember his brothers.

Lion Leach was thinking about what delicious food there was in the Shampoo Islands.

Tezzolo and now Django originally had four subordinates. Not to mention Karina, who was missing, the remaining three were captured by Akainu at that time.

Tanaka was one of them, because Akainu liked his ability, and after Django said that this man must be loyal, he let him know the truth about Tezoro's fake death.

That's why Tanaka acted according to Django's orders and Akainu's orders.Now I mainly communicate with Bucky, and at the same time, just like MR3 thinks, I'm monitoring them.

No one in the world is more familiar with the Grand Des Solo than Tanaka.

As for Django's other two subordinates, Dais and Baccarat, their loyalty could not be guaranteed and they were of little use, so Akainu continued to lock them up.

……

……

Chambord Islands.

After the meeting, Akainu chose the address of the Iron Blood Military Academy, which was to change the original naval base No. 66.The specific transformation matters were left to Lieutenant General Bastiu.

Then, Akainu took Django out for a walk to see the Chambord Islands, and refused to let anyone else go with him.

The Shampoo Islands are a wonderful wonder. Walking among such huge forests floating on the sea makes people feel physically and mentally happy.

There are also those dreamy bubbles that will not burst even if people jump on them, and they will not be broken no matter how they are built, unless they leave the Shampoo Islands.

Akainu even jumped between countless bubbles with excitement on the surface and calmly on the surface.

Django, wearing a golden mask, followed closely.

The Shampoo Islands are very large. Akainu still wears the navy's justice coat when he comes out, but no one is seen in the wild, so he doesn't hide his words and is more direct.

"Django, I know you feel the same way, what do you think of the prosperous slave market on the island?"

Jiang Ge silently took out a list of the lowest slave prices from his arms. He didn't know where he got it from, and began to read:
"Humans 50 berries, Little Humans 70 berries, Mink Tribe 70 berries, Hand Chief Tribe 70 berries, Foot Chief Tribe 70 berries, Snakehead Tribe 70 berries, Fishman Tribe 100 million berries inside……"

"Giant men are worth 5000 million berries, Giant women are worth 1000 million berries, Mermaid women are worth 7000 million berries, and men are worth 100 million berries."

Jiang Ge read the clearly marked racial slave lists one by one in an indifferent voice.Behind every simple list is the deep history of blood and tears of that race.

How many people have to be captured as slaves and how many people have to die to form such a market and even provide minimum price guidance?
Needless to say.

Django and Akainu shuttle between high-altitude bubbles. Now, Django has to crush a soap bubble every time he reads a list.

Akainu also knows that these soap bubbles are not easy to burst. Django didn't burst them just now, but now he wants to crush them one by one, which shows the anger in his heart.

"The current price of ability users and other rare species."

Finally, Django read the last sentence on the lowest price list and crushed the last bubble.

Because there are no other bubbles around Django, he can no longer stand and fall directly from the air. He even refuses to jump to the tree trunk just to throw himself.

Akainu could only descend to check.

Peng!
Django landed with a thud, sending up a cloud of dust.

"Marshal! How else can I look at it? I know what you say, Marshal, makes sense, but sometimes I really just hate that I don't have enough strength. If only I could destroy this dirty world directly, I will destroy it directly. No hesitation!!”

Akainu was silent with a black face.

Jiang Ge was still chattering: "I know that I made a detour before and mistakenly thought that having money can change everything. Now that the marshal has helped me correct my concept, it sometimes makes me more painful..."

"I stayed with the Marshal during this period and witnessed the entire inauguration ceremony of the Marshal. They all saw that the Marshal was murderous, but I saw that the Marshal still wanted to save the world..."

Jiang Ge unknowingly burst into tears. Those past days were shackles that he could never escape from, and the hot tears overflowed outside the golden mask.

"Marshal, what else can be saved in this world? Let's start the plan to detonate the lava lake and destroy it all!!"

Django's roar was deafening, echoing through the trees.

Akainu looked up at the sky covered by leaves. He was glad that he noticed that Django was not feeling well and took him out to vent.

Yes, vent, everyone needs to vent when necessary.

Akainu waited for a long time, until Django's tears stopped, until he stood up again and straightened the golden mask.

At this time, a brand new soap bubble suddenly secreted out from under Jiang Ge's feet, wrapped him in it, and held him up to the sky again.

"Ah..." Jiang Ge was pleasantly surprised and felt a child-like happiness that he didn't want to break.

Akainu also stepped into the sky again on moon steps, flew to the highest sky together with the soap bubbles wrapped in Django, flew over the barriers of tree trunks and leaves, and came to the sky over the wonderful Chambord Islands.

The orange sunset shone at this time, warming the Shampoo Islands, and Akainu and Django saw the most beautiful scenery.

"Look, Django, the reality of this world is that it is both beautiful and cruel."
