The True Path of Pirates

The dark warship carrying Redden's group was moving forward, and the fishmen who had nothing to do today saw them off until they came to a dilapidated and dirty street that was incompatible with the prosperous fishman island today. .

Yossi personally led the newspaper's construction team to this street, which symbolizes the chaotic past of Fish-Man Island. People who were born in this Fish-Man Street, such as Aaron and his sister Charlie, had a hint of complexity in their eyes.

"Brother Aaron, this is the prophecy I saw. It is really going to come true! But I didn't expect that it would be in this way..."

"The world has changed, and your prophecy can't keep up with this change. Our thoughts have to keep up with the times."

"Giggle."

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, it's nothing. It's just that I never expected that such words would come out of Brother Aaron's mouth."

"Hmph! Boring!"

Aaron hugged his shoulders and ignored the half-sister beside him. Instead, he watched quietly, watching this street filled with countless stories and memories heading towards its final destination.

Ruiden stood in front of Yusi, having a last conversation with her before leaving.

"I'm sorry to tell you that there was no good news when I saw you off. Instead, I had a few troubles."

"I have been squatting on Fish-Man Island for two years without doing anything. It would be strange if there is good news. Tell me, sister, what is going on?"

"As long as you have this plan. Nu, these are the specific bills and some secret rumors. Take your time and read them on the way."

"OK, all right."

Ryden took the document from Yos and handed it to Monet beside him without even looking at it.Monet also took the document obediently, intending to go through it first and then find information related to the document content to facilitate Redon's review at that time. He was a very considerate and good secretary.

"To put it simply, there are actually three points. First of all, we have no money! All the early capital investment was used to build the 'Paradise' and help build infrastructure on Fish-Man Island. Although the 'Paradise' is now open for business, we still want to It will take a long time to earn income.”

"I understand this, and I will provide a stable capital chain within a year."

"One year... that should be barely enough to maintain. There is also the second point. Although the reputation of the 'Thunder Emperor' is still there, after all, he is a person who has not made any noise for two years. This sea is very forgetful. Very, you should understand this better than anyone else."

"Well, the filming skills of 'Red Bean' and 'Mung Bean' should be pretty good now, right? There will be a lot of news in the future, which can just fill the hole in the funds."

"Both of them, even in the newspaper office, are considered to be very good. I still believe in you when it comes to making trouble."

Anko and Mung Bean are the last refugees from Fishman Street and a pair of twin neon spine-fin fishmen.Unlike other fishmen, they are smaller in size and more agile in movement.Although he was only 17 years old, he passed the Navy selection and eventually became a member of the "Benjamin". He has also recently learned shooting and other reporter skills, which greatly accelerated the relationship between Redden and the newspaper. .

"Finally, please clear this street and save some money. The workers here are all construction workers, and none of them are responsible for demolition."

"Isn't there any skill in this? Just dismantle it?"

"Just tear it apart, the more broken it is, the better."

"Oh, I see."

Ruiden nodded, and then gestured to Enelu.Enelu, who had almost become a scientific research assistant, suddenly became excited and shouted to Ruiden.

"Fire the cannon? How powerful? Who will you hit? Who will you hit?"

"Brother, don't get excited... bomb this street and leave no scum behind."

"Okay, look at you!"

"..."

Enel was so excited that he got carried away and went straight into the control room.The rest of the sailors also hurriedly boarded the ship, fearing that they would be affected by the terrifying bombardment.

"Electromagnetic gun! Fire!"

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Boom!"

The spectacular scene of the thick electric current blasting the Fishman Street into pieces became the last memory the fishmen had of the Fishman Street.And Redon's fluttering cloak of "justice" has become an unforgettable "eternity" in their hearts...

...

Navy Headquarters, Marineland, Officers' Meeting Hall.

Every year the general meeting is held in the marshal's command room or the combat conference room, but this year it was held in the officer's conference hall, a place where major events are handled.However, the lowest number of officers who can attend this meeting are colonels. They know a thing or two about the internal situation of the navy. Naturally, they also understand the reason for choosing to hold the meeting in the meeting hall. After all, the core topic of this meeting is definitely a must-have. The “big event”!

In addition, there is another surprising thing - the "Benjamin" unit, which has not participated in the general meeting for two full years, appeared in the meeting hall on time this time, especially with the "Late King" The "well-known" Ruiden was not late this time!It’s incredible!

Of course, no matter what these people think, they will never dare to say it.They could only "look up" from a distance to Redden, who was "talking and laughing" with today's three protagonists, with a look of admiration on their faces.

"Congratulations, three seniors!"

"Hmph, it's not like someone who squatted on Fish-Man Island for two years and was happy."

"Ah...I'm envious."

"Yeah~ It's true, it's really enviable."

"Hahaha, perform the mission, perform the mission."

Ruiden just laughed and let it pass. After all, it was too tiring to chat with these three people - one just wanted to be lazy and wished he could sleep while talking; Even if I talk for a long time, I can't get to a single key point; there is another person who likes to talk about key points, but the words are too "heavy" and directly make people's heads hurt.

Having trouble chatting with these three, Ryden turned his attention to the two veteran lieutenant generals, Garp and He.But he saw that Garp had fallen asleep standing there, and his huge snot bubbles had almost become a balloon.Crane was a good person to chat with, but due to this environment, it was difficult to talk about what Redden wanted to say, so he had to shut up and quietly stand in his own place with Vicki and the other three. superior.

"Sister Crane!"

"chief of staff!"

"You're here, Gion...and Kake, long time no see."

The clear female voice attracted the attention of many naval officers, and also made Ryden, who was chatting with Vicki and the others, turn his head and look at the location not far in front of him.

The position of the navy is very particular. To put it simply, the left and right factions are in opposition. The higher you are in the front row, the higher your status.The top three doves are Aokiji, Garp, and Crane, while the top three hawks are Akainu, Kizaru, and Riden.Therefore, Ryden's position was exactly opposite to Tsuru, and he could clearly see the appearance of Gion and Kake.

"While we sisters are chatting, can you please ask Lieutenant General Jiaji to step aside for a while?"

"Oh, yes, you guys chat."

The long-legged female officer who looks young and beautiful, even a little too gorgeous, is the "Sakura" in the Navy, the beautiful Lieutenant General Gion who matches the sisters of Lieutenant General Tsuru.

And the one who looks like a fool, like the idiot from the next village wearing a military uniform is Lieutenant General Kake, a fanatical pursuer of Gion.

In the original world, Ryden only knew that the two would later have the codenames "Peach Rabbit" and "Tea Dolphin", and they would be future general candidates.But in today's reality, he also has a deeper understanding of the two.

Although the two of them were in a special situation and rarely attended group meetings, and even Ruiden saw them at a meeting for the first time, their reputations were still relatively high.

Gion is not only responsible for the supervision of the two female soldiers of the headquarters, but also the person in charge of the naval art unit, which can be said to be the flowering of both arts and martial arts.

Apart from the title of Gion's "number one suitor", Kake has not made many achievements in the foreign military, so neither hawks nor doves think highly of him.But it is said that Jia Ji has a good reputation among the people, but Ruiden did not personally investigate.

But overall, for today's Reda, the two of them can only be regarded as "little people", not people worthy of his distracted attention.

There was still quite some time before the meeting started, and Tsuru and Gion were chatting happily like this, which was really annoying.As soon as he was not qualified to join the meeting's subordinates, and he was not very popular, the only one he could talk to, Garp, was still asleep, which made him extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, Jiaji suddenly saw Ruiden. When he found that Ruiden was also looking at him without any hostility, his eyes immediately shined.

"Haha, Lieutenant General Ruiden, I've heard of him for a long time! Today is the first time we meet in a formal meeting."

"Indeed it is."

"Uh...oh! My friend has helped me get a batch of good wine in the past two days. If you are not very busy recently, you can come to my army to taste it."

"Oh well."

"..."

To be honest, Ruiden didn't hate small talk, but when he saw Jiaji's face, he didn't want to talk for some reason. What's more, the things Jiaji chatted about were too unnutritious, and he was chatting to death in an instant. .But in this slightly embarrassing situation, Akainu, who was near Riden, suddenly spoke.

"Lieutenant General Jiaji! If you are not really that free, just go back to your place and stand!"

"Yes! Got it!"

Kaki straightened his back in fear, quickly saluted Akainu, then ran to the end of the dove faction's queue and stood there.

"Riden, this plan... is not easy."

"Well, that's right - that position is not something that ordinary people can stand in."

Archie's soft message also confirmed Redon's suspicion.

Although Jiaji rarely attended meetings, he was still a lieutenant general after all, and the last position undoubtedly belonged to the brigadier general. It was obviously unusual for him to stand there without any objection!

Ruiden contacted the rumors about the overtime and the strangeness that happened to him when facing the overtime, and he immediately made a plan in his mind.

"Archie, I'll leave the investigation of him to you. Be careful, this is not a piggy to be killed!"

"I understand, I happen to be a little curious too..."

Not long after the two discussed the plan, Warring States figure finally appeared in the meeting hall, which immediately silenced the originally noisy meeting hall, and seriousness became the only atmosphere here.

"The time is up and everyone is here... Let's start!"

"Yes!"

""

When Warring States said "Everyone is here", Ruiden felt several "scrutinizing" glances from all around him, which made him curse inwardly and his expression suddenly became very complicated. .This change was also seen by Gion on the opposite side, which made her chuckle.

"Everyone should have guessed the content of the meeting, so I won't waste everyone's time! In addition to the annual general meeting topics, this meeting also has three additional topics that need everyone to discuss, so let's start with these three additional topics. Let the lesson begin!”

As soon as Warring States finished speaking, the three people standing at the front received everyone's attention.However, these three people still maintained their serious, lazy, and wretched demeanor, unmoved at all. They indeed had the demeanor of a general.

"Due to the vacancy of the Admiralty of the Navy Headquarters for several years, the three Vice Admiral candidates - Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji - have been promoted to the rank of General of the Navy Headquarters! Colleagues, what do you think? If you have different opinions, you can put them forward!"

""

At this time, Ruiden was really looking forward to having a big fool to liven up the atmosphere and let him watch a good show.But obviously, no one would be such a fool.And those idiots who are flirting and taking advantage of this time to gain a sense of "presence" will obviously not appear here.

"Since no one has any objections, let's pass it unanimously! Now let's talk about the second item, about the jurisdiction of the three generals and the distribution of the troops..."

Next, the Warring States Period introduced the direct subordinates of the three new generals to the parliament.In fact, there is nothing to discuss.The iron-blooded hawks such as Daubman and Ghost Spider naturally belong to Akainu; the dove faction's lieutenants such as Flying Squirrel and Huoshaoshan belong to Aokiji.

General Kizaru has to talk about it alone. After all, except for Dalmecia, Stoloberg and other lieutenant generals, he belongs to him.Our "hard-working and promising" General Kizaru also has a "part-time job" with the World Government, responsible for coordinating and protecting related matters of the institute. It is a real "two blossoms"!

It is worth mentioning that Gion and Kake were assigned to Chief of Staff Tsuru, which is a special example today.But by this time, there were only two "standard" lieutenant generals in the entire navy who were not assigned to each other, namely Garp and Redden.

Karp simply said that as a "naval hero", he is the "first thorn in the side" of naval history!No one except Zhan Waiguo can control him, and no one wants to control him!

But Redden was "left behind" alone, which caused many people to start speculating about the rumors that had been "rising and falling" a few years ago.

"Then comes the third topic... the current Navy Vice Admiral Benjamin Ryden! With outstanding military exploits and amazing strength, he is now promoted to the Navy Headquarters Admiral Candidate, code name - 'White Dragon'!"
