Words:1499Update:22/06/28 12:11:44
On a plundered island, there were cries and laughter. On the ship anchored on the shore, the flag of the pirates was fluttering. A group of shirtless pirates were laughing and preparing to put the looted wealth into boxes and move it to the ship.
In the distance, a Battleship came out of the darkness, and a shell rumbled and exploded on the right side of the Pirate Ship less than 40 meters away. The waves splashed, and the Pirate Ship made a "squeak squeak squeak" harsh swaying sound. The pirate's face changed and he hurriedly boarded the ship.
As if there was a tacit understanding, when the pirate ship set sail and fled away, the warship slowly began to speed up to the island and stopped. The deck was put down and the Marines came down to carry the treasures that the pirates didn't have time to take away to the ship.
"… It's the Marines, the Marines are here, great!"
"We are saved, wait … those are our things, Marine officer, these things were taken from our village by the pirates."
The crying villagers gathered around, one of them was an old man with a wrinkled face holding a cane and looking at the Marines with a fearful smile on his face.
Standing on the bow of the ship, a Marine wearing a rat-like military cap looked down at the villagers, the corners of his mouth evoked a sinister smile: "These are all stolen goods, how can you say that they are yours?"
"But … but, these things are indeed ours." The old man's face changed, and before he could say anything, he was rudely pushed to the ground by a Marine.
"Step back. These are all stolen goods. Don't even think about deceiving us." Some of the navy soldiers raised their guns and pointed them at the villagers.
The villagers helped the old man up and all of them retreated in fear. They could only watch the Marines move the boxes containing the wealth of the whole village back to the warship.
The pirates are bandits, but they are just passing wolves; and this group of Marines are hunters who drive the wolves away. In this sophistry way, they blatantly take the wealth of the villagers as their own.
Captain Mouse proudly stared at the villagers who were angry but didn't dare to speak. He said, "Why don't you know how to be grateful? We just saved your lives from the pirates. Ah ha ha ha …"
Captain Mouse disdains to do such a thankless thing. In his eyes, those pirates are his hounds in captivity, plundering the wealth of this sea for him. How can he be willing to eliminate the pirates? Isn't that a trade that drains the pond to catch all the fish?
"Gululu …"
The sound of the Den Den Mushi sounded. Mouse picked up the Den Den Mushi and after a while, he hung up the Den Den Mushi with a gloomy face. He licked his lips and said: "153rd Branch, I don't know what's wrong with them. They dare to step into my territory and act wildly. Humph, sooner or later I will make them spit out everything they have eaten."
In the eyes of Captain Mouse, the 153 Branch's practice of wiping out the pirates is simply stupid. Now they dare to cross the border and run into his territory. Every pirate ship in the waters under the jurisdiction of the 16th Branch is a precious treasure in his eyes.
The Mouse Colonel's face darkened, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes. After a while, an insidious scheme appeared in his mind. The slanted mustache on his face curled up, making him look even more shifty-eyed.
… … …..
Three weeks of calm passed in a flash. The 153rd branch and the 16th branch occasionally had some friction and collision on the bordering sea, but both sides maintained a certain degree of restraint and didn't cause any serious incidents such as fighting.
Yarlin didn't restrain the Marines below. He didn't seem to care about the consequences. Every time the two Battleships of 153 Branch went out to patrol, they would deliberately stay in the bordering waters for a while, as if they were eager to provoke a conflict.
In Yarlin's eyes, the friction between the neighboring bases is a matter of time. If Navy Branch 153 wants to expand its power and influence, it will touch the interests of other branches sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. And the 16th Branch was the first target that came into his sight.
If the entire East Blue is compared to a huge stage, then the divided Marine bases are lights that project to the stage. Each beam of light is only illuminating its own area, and Navy Branch 153 is a dim twilight light in a remote area.
Yarlin is not satisfied with this. He hopes that he is the only light left on this stage. How should he proceed?
Yarlin's solution is to try to become the "center" of this stage. But how to become the center, the backlit side is naturally without any hidden operations. He has already started to deploy this. The Red Skull Pirates are an important chess piece. Under the light, he also needs to focus the eyes of the entire stage. Yarlin's plan is to dim the lights around him.
Obviously, the existence of the 16th Branch is too much of an eyesore for the 153 Branch.
During this time, the 16th Branch didn't make any excessive moves, but the number of Battleships patrolling the bordering waters increased significantly. It seems that they intend to monitor the bordering waters.
"Monitor?" Yarlin squinted at the sea map. The entire sea area under the 16th Branch is three times larger than the 153 Branch. It looks like an irregular long pocket that covers half of the 153 Branch.
"Or do they want to block it?" Yarlin pursed his lips, his eyes became hazy. He gently rubbed his gloves and said to himself: "Block the Navy? Pirates? Or sea merchants? "
The option of blocking the pirates was first ruled out by Yarlin. It is tantamount to helping the 153 Branch. So there are only two options left. The first is to block the Navy, which means to block the Battleships of the 153 Branch from entering the 16th Branch's sea area. The second is to block the sea merchants coming and going.
If the sea merchants are blocked, then these sea merchants can only go around a big hole and perfectly avoid the 153 Branch's sea area, which will lead to a series of consequences.
Marine 16th Branch.
Captain Mouse sat lazily on the sofa. On the sea map hanging in front of him, a pocket-shaped area in the lower right corner was marked with a red cross by him. He smiled and said: "I will block the entrance and exit, cut off the sea trade, and leave a barren sea for your 153 branch. Even the pirates won't be able to bear it and will leave. I will help you to clean up the pirates in the entire sea. Let's see how you will thank me when the time comes."
