The pirates breathed a sigh of relief, they retreated back to the cabin below like a tide. Only a few pirates remained on the deck. Facing the cannons of the warships and the murderous aura of the Marines, it would be a lie to say that they didn't feel any pressure.
Arlen raised his arm and bent his palm at a ninety degree angle. The marines on the side of the ship rearranged themselves. One of the two marines in between turned around and retreated, while the rest of the marines stood upright with one hand on their flintlock muskets.
Calci's eyelids twitched slightly, these simple movements showed the strict discipline of the Marines. At the same time, Yarlin's position in Navy Branch 153 was much higher than he expected. At least, as the leader of a pirate group, he could see that the Marines were looking at Yarlin with awe and worship in their eyes.
"Captain Calci!"
"Lieutenant Yarlin!"
The two squeezed out a hearty smile at the same time. Yarlin gently jumped onto the deck of the pirate ship and stood beside Calci.
Calci consciously stood behind Yarlin, about half a body's distance away.
Silence!
A short silence!
Arlen slowly opened his mouth and said, "In the past month, I have led the branch to eliminate more than a dozen pirate groups of different sizes."
Calci's cheeks twitched, he didn't understand Yarlin's intention. He awkwardly smiled and said, "Lieutenant Yarlin is really good. I don't know how those unlucky pirates offended you."
"They didn't offend me, how could they have the opportunity to offend me. My 153 Branch is responsible for guarding the sea, so naturally, I have to take up the responsibility of cleaning up the sea. Since these flies like pirates entered my field of vision, the only path left for them is to be buried at the bottom of the sea." Yarlin gently stroked his brand new white gloves, he didn't realize that they were stained with blood. He faintly said, "Similarly, this is also for the peace and order of the maritime trade routes."
Calci showed a look of understanding, it turned out to be for the future of the Chamber of Commerce's shipping routes.
"However, there are two problems that Navy Branch 153 can't solve alone. We need the assistance of the Red Skull Pirates." Yarlin turned his head and looked at Calci. His cold and indifferent eyes inexplicably made Calci feel a great sense of oppression.
It was different from the last time. Last time, Ya Erlin could only be regarded as a tiger, but this time, there were two warships behind Ya Erlin, and hundreds of murderous navy soldiers. He stood there like a ferocious tiger.
"I don't know what two problems? Are they that Navy Branch 153 can't solve? They will need the assistance of our Red Skull Pirates. "Calci gritted his teeth and asked.
Yarlin held the side of the ship with both hands and looked at the fog that covered the sea. "First, our Navy Branch 153 can only eliminate a part of the pirates. There are always more pirates in this sea, it's difficult to kill them all. Second, the area that our Navy Branch 153 patrols is only so big. Even if we clear this area, we can't extend our hands to other areas. This is a taboo matter. If other pirates plunder merchant ships, it would be very difficult to deal with them …"
But the mining and transportation of rainbow stones requires the Chamber of Commerce to cross half of the East Blue and reach the first half of the Grand Line. This long sea route isn't something that a Naval Branch can intervene in.
Calci thought about it, this is indeed a very big problem. But even the Naval Branch can't solve this problem, does it mean that the Red Skull Pirates have the ability to solve it?
"To solve these two problems, we need to establish order for the pirates in the East Blue." Yarlin stared at Calci, the next words set off stormy waves in his heart, "And this is something that the Marines can't do. Only the pirates can do it. I need the Red Skull Pirates to establish a rule for the pirates in the East Blue!"
Yarlin deeply understood this truth in his previous life. White and black are natural opposites. One side can never destroy the other. They can only balance each other.
In this world, the Marine's skin is the white coat and the pirate's flag is the black bone and blood. Trying to use white skin to bind the black bone and blood is impossible. The Marines can kill pirates, but it's difficult to rule them and establish rules. On the one hand, it's the opposite identity and vigilance. On the other hand, it's the blockage and lag of information. So the best way to solve this problem is for the Marines to support a black agent to rule and establish the black order.
This trick is actually used by the World Government. The so-called Shichibukai system is a product of this black and white interest structure. But the World Government failed to grasp the essence of it and turned it into a deformed monster.
"How is it possible? Our Red Skull Pirates will establish a rule for the pirates in the East Blue? " Calci's eyes widened, but the ambition in his heart has been stirred up by Yarlin's words.
"If it's in other seas, it's indeed difficult. But in the East Blue, which is known as the weakest sea, the Red Skull Pirates have the shadow of our Navy Branch 153 behind them. So they may have a chance." Yarlin looked at the flames that gradually ignited in Calci's eyes. He smiled and said, "To do this, you must first become the most powerful pirate group in the East Blue. Then you must swallow the smaller pirate groups and form a pirate alliance. After establishing the rules, you will use a group of disobedient pirates as a blood sacrifice. Naturally, the underground order of the entire East Blue will be established."
"So, how do you become the most powerful pirate group in the East Blue?" Calci was obviously moved. As a pirate, who doesn't want to be the most powerful one, even if it's the weakest in the East Blue.
"We will do it in two steps. The first step, the Red Skull Pirates need to strengthen themselves. You will need more ships and manpower. The second step is even simpler. As long as the pirates stronger than you die, you will naturally become the most powerful one!" Yarlin turned around and patted Calci's shoulder. He said seriously, "And for this, our Navy Branch 153 will do our best to help you."
Calci's eyes lit up. He was so excited that he spoke incoherently. After a long time, he calmed down a little. From his understanding of this Second Lieutenant, he knew that the other party wasn't a person who would make a loss. But he couldn't think of any disadvantages for the Red Skull Pirates.
"So, what about the Navy? What does the Navy want? "Calci asked.
"It's all for business!" Yarlin grinned and said, "The Navy and pirates have different demands. You want to become the Pirate King of the East Blue, but we don't care about fame. We just want the rules. The rules established in the East Blue are what we need the most."
Yarlin turned his back to Calci. He looked at the sea under his feet and added a sentence in his heart, "Of course, this rule must be completely in my hands!"
