Pirates: I'm in the East Sea helping King Luffy

"Hahaha, Smoker has been very sensible lately!" In the office of the Admiral of the Navy, Zhan Guo was looking at today's newspaper, laughing so hard that his legs couldn't close.

Making compensation on behalf of the Navy was, of course, just a pretense to piss off Whitebeard.

The Navy can barely afford to pay its own pensions, so where would the money for compensation come from?

After Smoker gave a little hint, Alabasta went ahead and announced to the outside world that it had received compensation from the Navy.

This is the way of the world.

Smoker used to be very straightforward, so how could he be willing to cooperate with the Navy in acting?

After he left his post this time, he suddenly became much more sensible, spoke nicer, did things more pleasantly, and even knew to give himself a gift... Not bad.

Zhan Guo reached into his pocket and touched the Happy Street Gold VIP Membership Card inside. He was very satisfied with this gift.

I used to think that Smoker could only be a vice admiral at best, but now it seems that he is also an excellent young man with the qualifications of a general!

I heard that the service of Happy Street is much better than that of the Red Romance in Shampoo.

But I heard that there are all kinds of people in Happy Street, and there are many pirates. How can I do this? As the Admiral of the Navy, I must find an opportunity to go out incognito and conduct a secret investigation.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

"You are smiling so obscenely, are you thinking about something bad? It seems that I need to cleanse your mind."

Lieutenant General He's cold voice broke someone's pink fantasy.

The decades of Qi cultivation skills of the Warring States period were revealed, and his face changed at the speed of light, and he instantly recovered to a righteous face of the Navy Admiral.

"Xiaohe, don't talk nonsense. This damages the heroic image of our Navy Admiral."

"Am I overthinking it?" Vice Admiral Tsuru narrowed his eyes and curled his lips:"Have you forgotten who redeemed you two bastards when you and Garp forgot to bring money to that place?"

Sengoku:……

"Ahem... who is not frivolous when young? At that time, we were young and could not help being curious about the opposite sex. It is better not to mention this old account."

While speaking, he hurried over to close the door, fearing that others would hear him and his majestic image would collapse.

"Really?" Vice Admiral He snorted coldly and took out a stack of bills from his pocket:"Then can you explain what's going on with these bills from Honglang in Shampoo? Your name is clearly written on them."

Zhan Guo subconsciously denied:"This is impossible. When I go to Honglang, all the bills are put on Borsalino's account."

After saying that, he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He covered his mouth embarrassedly and looked at the bills on the table. With just one glance, he recognized who did it.

"Damn it, this must be Cap's bill, these services are his favorite"

"Oh, you know a lot about it. It seems you've been there a lot. What kind of service do you like?" Lieutenant General Tsuru followed up his question and asked

"Of course, the whole body... cough cough."Zhan Guo said seriously:"Why would I go to that kind of place?"

Sweat broke out on his forehead. He felt that if he continued to ask, he would not be able to hide the fact that he was a prostitute at public expense... It was a good deed to support poor fallen women.

Zhan Guo was very decisive and quickly changed the subject.

"How was Tina's conversation with her lover?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru said nothing, just staring at Zhan Guo until he began to fidget, then he spoke lightly.

"He has agreed to form a hunter association, and now he just needs to wait for the funds to arrive."

"What about the progress of the negotiations? How many of the selected countries have agreed?"The negotiations that Zhan Guo mentioned are naturally asking those non-member countries of the World Government to pay protection fees to the Hunter Association.

"Only less than a quarter. This time, the targets we are trying to win over are mainly in the first half of the Grand Line. The pirates in this section are not strong to begin with. If we want them to surrender, we have to put some pressure on them."

Vice Admiral Tsuru has been able to get to his current position. He is naturally not a little white rabbit, but an extremely cunning fox.

"Got it." Zhan Guo understood immediately:"I will let the nearby naval branch base send them a big gift."

The navy under the banner of justice will certainly not take action without reason, but our navy has limited capabilities and is unable to wipe out the pirates. After the pursuit, they fled to your country, which is your problem to solve.

This is also why Luo Li is more optimistic about the navy. Compared with the overly idealistic methods of the Revolutionary Army, he appreciates the navy's"not being particular" more.

If you don't agree, it means there is not enough pressure. Then the problem is simple. I will increase the pressure on you until you agree.

After this problem was solved, Vice Admiral Tsuru raised another question

"Luffy, that kid, has not yet been offered a bounty. If we really want to put him in that position, we should start building momentum now."

When it comes to this, Sengoku feels a sense of resentment that he doesn't fight for it.

"What's wrong with this kid Luffy? They all have the last name Monkey, his grandfather is a naval hero, and his father is the most vicious criminal in the world. But this kid keeps shouting that he wants to be the Pirate King, but he can't do anything. He didn't inherit the Monkey family's gene for making trouble at all."

This made Sengoku very embarrassed. He wanted to build momentum for him, but he couldn't find a reason.

Vice Admiral Tsuru obviously had an idea:"According to Ain's report, Luffy fought Crocodile on Jigoku Island, but was defeated. Only the Straw Hat Pirates and Crocodile knew about this battle. Now that Crocodile has been arrested, why don't we……"

"Do you mean to announce to the public that Luffy defeated Crocodile?" Sengoku thought about it for a moment and shook his head:"No, if we announce to the public that Luffy defeated Crocodile and Smoker defeated and captured Crocodile, wouldn't that be picking up a bargain?"

After all, Crocodile was defeated on Drum Island, and your navy captured him right after. Isn't this picking up a bargain? He would never do such a thing that damages the image of the navy.

Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head:"Have you forgotten how Crocodile became famous in 2000?"

Sengoku recalled for a moment and remembered:"It seems that it was because he had just gone to sea and fought a tie with Douglas Barrett. Do you mean to announce to the public that Luffy and Crocodile fought a tie?" Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded.

Luffy is tied with Crocodile, Crocodile is tied with Barrett, and Barrett is as strong as Pluto Rayleigh.

Luffy = Crocodile = Barrett = Pluto Rayleigh.

That means that the current Luffy is evenly matched with Roger, the vice-captain of the Pirate Group.

There is nothing wrong with this logic!

"With the Shichibukai as a stepping stone, it would be no problem to set a bounty of 100 million for him, making him the pirate supernova of the year."

"hiss……"Zhan Guo gasped:"Isn’t this a bit fake?"

"Who can tell?" Vice Admiral Tsuru asked back:"Crocodile has been locked up, and the Straw Hat Pirates are all our people, who will come forward to clarify this matter?"

Sengoku thought about it and it seemed to be true. Anyway, no one knew whether it was true or not, so let Crocodile make use of his last bit of energy.
