General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 424 I, Jiazhi, have the final say in Beihai. Who objects?

Qianyan Island, Beihai, 177th Naval Branch.

There are naval warriors armed with swords and guns patrolling back and forth in various places on the entire island.

In the towns on Qianyan Island, the daily lives of the residents have not been affected. They are still doing what they usually do.

It's just that the atmosphere on the island is a bit depressing, and the residents' faces no longer have the relaxed smiles they had before.

This is not because these ordinary people have heard about the upcoming Four Kingdoms War.

But since Germa took over the Prince Kingdom, the country's daily operations have been completely changed.

There is no longer the freedom and peace of the past.

In the past, people could trade freely on the sea and go to the royal capital to buy and sell daily necessities.

But now, everything has changed.

Today, the royal capital has become a place where only people from Germa are allowed to come and go freely.

Apart from the people from Germa, there was only one kind of person who could enter the royal capital, and that was the coolies.

The formerly prosperous capital of King Prince has now completely turned into a huge flesh and blood factory.

Tens of thousands of young and middle-aged laborers were forcibly ordered by Germa's army to go to the royal capital to work day and night in weapons processing factories and mines.

Not only do these laborers receive no wages, but sometimes they even don’t have food to eat.

This kind of inhuman treatment makes people living here sometimes even think that the Kingdom of Prince might as well have been deprived of the throne by the eldest prince.

At least, they don't think that the current Germa Kingdom will be much better than a country composed of pirates.

Pirates at least have a little bit of humanity left.

The Vinsmoke family has absolutely no humanity at all.

In addition to the emotionless clone warriors, there is also the king who wants to restore his former glory.

Qianyan Island is better off because of the existence of branch 177. It is not easy for Germa to act recklessly here and use the order of forced recruitment.

Therefore, the number of residents on Qianyan Island is already much higher than in 17.

Those extra people are people who can't live on other islands and are afraid of Germa's rule.

They sneaked from various places to Qianyan Island just to live like human beings.

But in recent months, few people have been seen coming.

Because Germa's army has been deployed on the sea outside Qianyan Island, blocking some nearby sea areas.

Just like in the isolated 177 branch.

Jennifer, the head of Branch 177, expressed her protest to the Kingdom of Jerma, but to no avail.

Germa has a good reason.

They said that the waters near Qianyan Island originally belonged to the Germa Kingdom.

Being able to allow Branch 177 to carry out normal naval activities on the island is already a great honor.

If Branch 177 still wants to interfere with their normal patrols of the surrounding waters, it is interfering in the domestic affairs of the alliance.

And this is never allowed.

Inside the naval base.

Colonel Jennifer, who looked haggard, listened to Captain Richard's report, and his expression became more and more solemn.

"This is the situation. Now the Kingdom of Germa is gathering troops on a large scale. I estimate that they will launch a war against neighboring countries in the near future. Colonel, if we don't stop it, I'm afraid the tranquility of the North Sea will be broken again. This time The crisis is much more dangerous than the Prince Kingdom coup. This time, four kingdoms were involved at once, and one of them was a member of the World Government. We must break through Germa's communication blockade as soon as possible and communicate with the headquarters Get in touch and let the higher ups decide whether to intervene or let it go.”

Richard, who was all wet, said breathlessly.

Because the sea outside Qianyan Island has been blocked by Germa's snail boat, it has become very difficult for their 177th branch to go out to gather information.

He just relied on his strong water ability to dive out of Qianyan Island, risking being discovered by Germa, and went to sea to obtain some information.

Originally, he wanted to take the phone bug out and contact the Navy headquarters.

But Germa's research on communication shielding technology is very powerful.

Their ships are basically telephone bugs of another kind.

Those super large phone bug war docks that are like sea fortresses have a wide variety of phone bug styles that can accurately shield, interfere with, and eavesdrop on communications.

Today, branch 177 has been cut off from external communications by Germa and has become an isolated island in the sea.

Germa's army did not take action against them. They just restricted access and found various reasons to create difficulties.

"I understand, please go out first and let me think about it." Jennifer said tiredly.

Richard looked at Jennifer's sunken eyes and messy hair, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and he sighed deeply in his heart.

It's not easy for Colonel Jennifer.

Although in the eyes of everyone in Branch 177, she has always been a strong woman with a strong heart and strength.

But not long ago, from intelligence obtained from the outside world, news came that Lieutenant General Adila had unfortunately died in battle.

This shocking and tragic news, like a bolt from the blue, knocked this strong woman down all of a sudden.

In recent days, Lieutenants like Richard and others could clearly feel that the vitality that had always been in Jennifer's body disappeared rapidly like a punctured balloon.

After losing her husband, whom she had been with for many years, Richard did not dare to think about the pain in her heart.

In fact, the soldiers and lieutenants of the 177th branch could not accept the news that Lieutenant General Adila had died in battle.

Richard admires Adira just as Adira admires Akainu, and his lifelong dream is to become a naval admiral like Adira.

However, that bad news not only crushed Colonel Jennifer, but also him, and the entire 177th branch.

What's worse is that at this time, there is a war that may sweep across the entire North Sea and affect countless people. They need to find a way to stop it.

Richard sighed, opened the door silently, and was about to go out.

At this moment, a sharp siren sounded over the naval base.

Some soldiers sounded the alarm, letting the piercing sound of the whistle resound over Qianyan Island.

At the same time, gunfire rang out.

"What's going on? An enemy invaded the base?"

Richard's heart tightened, and he quickly opened the door and rushed out.

Jennifer, who was sitting behind the desk, also stood up quickly.But before she could rush to the office door, the door and door frame in front of her exploded with a loud bang, along with the walls on both sides.

As soon as Richard rushed out with his front foot, his back foot flew back, smashing through the door and wall, and fell heavily at Jennifer's feet.

"Richard! Are you okay?" Jennifer quickly squatted down and checked Richard's injuries.

Richard's mouth was bleeding. He gritted his teeth and shook his head. He endured the severe pain in his back and squeezed his voice out from between his teeth. "It's Gaji. He led his people to surround Qianyan Island."

"What? Gaji? How dare he openly attack the navy?" Jennifer was shocked and was about to get up.

At this time, a tall figure holding a golden spear descended from the sky and landed in front of the broken door frame with a clatter, looking down at Jennifer and Richard.

Seeing the person coming, Jennifer stood up suddenly, frowned and shouted angrily: "Gaji! What do you mean? You are openly provoking the navy!"

"Provocation?" Gaji raised the corner of his mouth and sneered. He stared at Jennifer with cold eyes and said coldly: "I don't have the courage to challenge the real maritime overlord of this world. I'm just a Jer. The king of the Horse Kingdom wants to be responsible for the safety of the people in the kingdom."

Jennifer seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and was amused by Gaji's words.

She did not hide the sarcastic smile on her face at all, looked at Ga Zhi and said: "Are you responsible for the safety of the people of your kingdom? Your attempt to launch a war against the four surrounding countries will kill countless innocent people. Is this what you call responsible?" Jiazhi, people cannot be so shameless."

"presumptuous!"

A cold light flashed in Gaji's eyes, he released the golden spear he was holding, spread the five fingers of his right hand, and slapped Jennifer with his palm.

Wisps of tiny electric light appeared from his palm, and a shock wave rushed out from some small holes around his wrist, hitting Jennifer who was close at hand.

Jennifer didn't expect that Gaji would dare to attack her, the head of the branch. In a hurry, she could only use iron blocks to defend herself.

"Oh!"

The shock wave mixed with electric current hit Jennifer's body, and she was immediately knocked away, smashing the desk behind her and coughing out a mouthful of blood.

"Colonel!" Richard roared with eyes wide open, got up, and punched Gaji.

"An ant dares to punch a giant dragon, which is really shocking."

Gaji stretched out his hand as fast as lightning, ignored Richard's punch on his body, grabbed Richard's neck, and lifted him up from the ground.

"Stop! Gaji! Are you crazy? Do you really want to start a war with the navy?"

Jennifer just got up from the broken desk, coughed out another mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground weakly.

Her body and spirit had been exhausted over the past few days.

Gaji's power was not something she could resist.

Now that she was slapped by Gaji, Jennifer was unable to get up.

Jiazhi pinched Richard's neck, looked at Jennifer indifferently, and said coldly: "I said, I don't want to mess with your navy. But the king of the franchise country is not something that just a branch colonel can insult. Do you believe me? Just one phone bug and the world government will remove you from your post?"

He threw away Richard, who was suffocated by him, like trash, threw him into the corner with a bang, lifted up his golden cloak, turned around and left, leaving behind a cold word.

"Qianyan Island is the territory of the Kingdom of Germa. Since your 177 branch is here, you must abide by the rules of Germa. And my rules are the rules of Germa. Don't interfere in things that you shouldn't interfere with, otherwise If you do, even if you report it to the Warring States Period, you will still be the unlucky ones. Take care of yourself, and if someone discovers your people going around to inquire about our information next time, then don't blame us for not giving the navy face."

At the entrance to the Beihai Diaoshan Mountain, a small warship more than ten meters long was swept down by the current.

On the deck that was tilted at [-] degrees, Skylark held Rorschach's arms with both hands, his petite body was blown up by the strong wind, and he screamed in surprise.

"Brother Rorschach, be careful! There is a big whirlpool ahead!"

"Well, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Luo Xia looked at the whirlpool current getting closer and closer at the foot of the Upside Down Mountain. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and the boat that was caught by the rapids rose up into the sky with a loud bang, broke away from the water, and went straight into the sky hundreds of meters high.

He grabbed the cable on the mast and pulled down.

The sails were immediately blown by the strong wind and became full.

The boat at his feet just took him and Skylark, clinging to the towering mountain walls of Upside Down Mountain, quickly away from the large whirlpool at the entrance at the foot of the mountain, and flew toward the calm sea ahead.

After saying goodbye to Jonathan and Hawkins, Rorschach took Skylark back to the North Sea through the reverse current of the Upside Down Mountain.

Hawkins and Brooke still did not accept his invitation to join the Navy.

Compared to the Navy, they chose the more liberal Bounty Hunter Guild.

This made that old bastard Jonathan smile crookedly.

From his perspective, how could he not see the potential of Hawkins and Brook?
In addition to Sauron who was kidnapped by him from the East China Sea, his trip to the East China Sea can be regarded as making a lot of money.

As for Rorschach, not only did he not get killed, he also lost a lot of money.

However, Rorschach was not depressed at all.

On the contrary, he was in a very good mood.

He also figured it out.

The Navy is not for everyone.

Some people are not naturally suitable for militarized management, and a freer environment can better unleash their potential.

In addition, after all, the Navy is still an institution under the World Government, and many things are subject to the jurisdiction of the above, and some actions are very inconvenient.

Of course, this freedom is only relative freedom, not lawless freedom.

Fortunately, Rorschach can still trust the character of that old guy Jonathan.

Putting some outstanding talents on his side might be better than directly recruiting them into the Navy.

He invested in advance and gave Zoro a gift. With this relationship, he will definitely be able to deepen some cooperation between the two parties in the future.

He had already thought about it. In a few years, when Zoro and Hawkins became stronger, he would recommend them to become the Shichibukai.

It would be best to gather seven of our own people, and then join forces to overthrow the four emperors of the New World, and then support the Tianlong people.

"What a beauty it is."

Thinking of the wonderful thing, Rorschach couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth crazily.

Skylark tilted his head and looked at Rorschach. He didn't know why Rorschach started to giggle.

At this moment, Luo Xia suddenly let out a startled cry and looked up.

"Brother Luo Xia, what's wrong?" Yunque was puzzled and followed his gaze.

Then she froze.

Because from the sky above our heads, bundles of Baileys were falling down.

"Eh? Why did money fall from the sky?"
