Time flew by and it was 1518 on the Pacific calendar.
East Blue!
Longshi Trading Company's second trans-oceanic voyage returned smoothly and officially entered a period of high-speed expansion. The pirate ships under the Red Skull Pirates expanded to 11, and the pirate members exceeded a thousand. They began to roam in East Blue, ferociously plundering passing merchant ships, and from time to time, colliding with some Naval Branch warships. In the process of chasing and escaping, they committed a lot of crimes and became more and more famous in the sea. In the same year, a company called Sihai was quietly established, and warships belonging to different Naval Branch began to frequently appear in and out of the ports of some countries. The news of an upper-level club that is said to only accept Marines began to spread in some Marine branches. More and more Marine Captains began to inquire about the information of this club. It is said that those who can join this club are the real power figures of the various East Blue branches. Every meeting of the club may secretly affect the pattern of East Blue. Of course, these seem to be hearsay rumors. The real situation is that the official members of the Marine Club are close to 40, of which seven second-level members are in charge of the operation and management of the club. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. The sea map on the long table in the conference room is getting larger and larger.
At this moment!
The club is holding a cocktail party. The members attending the cocktail party are talking to each other with a smile on their faces. All kinds of intelligence and information are passed on at the cocktail party. Some private cooperation and transactions of the branches are also finalized at the cocktail party.
"The sea has been a little turbulent recently!" The long-faced Marine Captain touched his glass and said with some worry: "In the sea under my jurisdiction, many merchant ships have been massacred by the Red Skull Pirates."
"Hey, what does it matter? The more sea merchants die, the better it is for us." Another Marine Captain smirked: "The dividends returned by the Sihai Company last month really scared me. It was worth what I had plundered in the past two years."
"Merchants are hypocritical and deceitful. If they die, they die." Another Marine Captain raised his glass and walked over. "Instead of thinking about this, it's better to recommend a few Captains to join the club. Every time a member passes the review, the referrer can get 100 points. If you can raise the level of the member earlier, you can participate in the maintenance and management of the club. Do you still need to explain how much power is hidden behind this?"
On the other side.
In a quiet conference room.
Hu Qi rubbed his golden teeth with some irritation. "The Red Skull Pirates can be ignored. Letting them plunder merchant ships will only be beneficial to the Sihai Company, but this group of crazy Fishmen must be cleaned up."
Recently, a group of Fishmen appeared out of nowhere in the East Blue. As if they had a deep hatred for the Marines, they specifically attacked Marine Battleships. One of the Battleships of the 195th branch was attacked. All the Marines on the ship were slaughtered and their heads were cut off and neatly stacked on the deck.
Hu Qi later sent people to search for the missing Battleship. When they boarded the deck, they almost vomited bile when they saw the scene. The seven orifices of the heads were covered with white maggots stacked together. The visual impact was too disgusting.
"They specifically attacked the Marines and cut off their heads. This is revenge." Hu Qi licked his lips and looked at Sneti and asked: "I remember that the Dragon Pirates you annihilated should be a Fishman Pirate group, right?"
"The Dragon Pirates have been annihilated!" Without waiting for Sneti to speak, Yarlin sneered and said: "Besides, if it's really the Dragon Pirates, they should come to our 153 Branch and the 16th Branch for revenge."
"Yes, the Dragon Pirates are all dead." Sneti's voice was equally cold. He did not have a good impression of the Murlocs. "The Dragon Pirates are not the only Murlocs in the entire East Blue. Besides, the Murlocs are a race of arrogant racists. They hate humans, the government, and the Navy for a long time. Occasionally, a group of Murlocs will appear out of nowhere and commit crimes in a frenzy. It's not surprising that a group of Murlocs will appear out of nowhere and commit crimes."
"Damn, it's really bad luck!" Hu Qi agreed with Sneti's statement and spat fiercely.
Yarlin was expressionless. He tapped the table gently and murderously said: "The Fishmen race is a group of restless elements. We can't just ignore them. In a while, we will issue a mission in the name of the club to annihilate this group of Fishmen."
Hu Qi showed a grateful smile to Yarlin and raised his hand: "I agree!"
During this time, Dick had been completely intimidated by Yarlin. He agreed to all of Yarlin's proposals with both hands. Foby laughed dryly and raised his hand: "I don't like the Fishmen race either."
It was just a small matter, and no one would refuse. They all raised their hands to vote. No one noticed the flash of slyness in Yarlin's eyes.
"Then, the next thing!" Jones pressed the brim of his hat and said: "According to the feedback from below, there are mainly two things that need to be dealt with."
"First, in the waters under the jurisdiction of the various branches, some countries seem to have discovered that our Navy is smuggling. Among them, Arikos' reaction was the most intense. They even sent their garrison to block the port and refused to let our warships in."
"Second, there is a group of pirates entrenched on Orange Island. Last month, they boldly shelled a passing warship. This group of pirates is in the sea under my jurisdiction, and …" Jones paused for a moment, then faintly spat out the next words: "I remember that Lieutenant Colonel Arlen asked us to help inquire about Devil Fruit or Ability Users."
"Could it be?" Yarlin, who was half-squinting, suddenly opened his eyes. A strange black line flashed in his eyes as he stared at Jones.
Jones looked deeply at Yarlin. He heard from Sneti that Yarlin also seemed to be a Devil Fruit user, but the specific ability was not detailed. He laughed twice and said: "Coincidentally, the leader of this group of pirates happens to be a Devil Fruit user."
"The second thing is for me to solve, Colonel Jones." Yarlin licked his lips, and his calm tone was tinged with a hint of urgent greed: "I owe you a favor!"
Jones nodded with satisfaction. The other colonels did not speak. If it was a Devil Fruit, they might be interested, but if it was a Devil Fruit user that had been swallowed, they would avoid it. How could they have the same inexplicable interest as Yarlin?
