Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 294 Rampant Smuggling on Angel Island
"Blue Dragon" is the code name prepared for Dragon, and it is also a concern of Zhan Guo. Being able to give it to himself means that Zhan Guo has let go of the past and really started to regard Roan as the backbone of the navy.

At the same time, "cang" has many meanings. It is a color that symbolizes the gray sky before the rain. It also represents boundlessness and vastness, which is very consistent with the artistic conception of thunder and lightning represented by the thunder fruit.

Ron didn't find it strange that his thunder was "blue" before the storm.

But Dorag is also "Cang"...

"Is it really the same as the rumors?"

Ron thought silently.

Since Dragon Ball could make Sengoku give the answer "Ao", perhaps Dragon Ball is indeed the user of the rumored Hurricane Fruit.

Ron realized a long time ago that many of the unsolved mysteries in the original work could not be found by him. Secrets that cannot be told to others are secrets after all.

All the information Chatun disclosed was fake. If he had not really fought with him, who knows how long the true identity of the user of the Slow-Down Fruit would have been hidden. And Ron could not possibly get to the bottom of such a secret. That would be really stupid of him.

The same goes for Dragon. The entire navy is silent about his information, including Zephyr. It's not that they don't trust Roan, it's the navy's statement that they are going to break off a fight with Dragon.

In comparison, Ace and Luffy are lucky. At least no matter what they do, Garp can openly express his concern for his grandchildren.

The deepest break is indifference, which is more heartbreaking than being angry at someone for not fighting back.

……

A few days later, G10 branch.

If you ask what changes have occurred since becoming a candidate for general, then there is no change. Although I have the title of candidate for general, I still do the same things, not busy or idle, and follow the routine.

Ron was indispensable in commanding the G10 branch. After a grand oath-taking ceremony, Ron was kicked back to Jaya Island by Warring States to continue supervising trade with Sky Island.

As for Sky Island, with the ups and downs of the chestnut head, the gap between Qinghai and Baihai is no longer the same as before. As people's understanding of Sky Island increases day by day, after becoming familiar with it, it becomes boring.

They were just a group of unique humans with small wings. In terms of average appearance, they were not even as good as the beauties from Nine Snake Island and Fishman Island.

In the past, Kulik could occasionally catch slave traders who had survived the White Sea Route from the Seven Star Island to Angel Island. Now, even the slave traders are nowhere to be found. The rich people's desire for the people of Sky Island has decreased, and the effort and reward are naturally not proportional.

However, Sky Island has given rise to another profession.

Shell dealer!

Compared with the angels that are no longer mysterious, the people of Qinghai undoubtedly like the Sky Island shellfish more.

The convenient hot shellfish, wind shellfish, sound shellfish and other shellfish made the people of Qinghai discover that in addition to Den Den Mushi, there are such wonderful things in the world.

The flame stored in a heat shell is enough to satisfy the cooking needs of a crew for ten days, and it will not be affected by the environment. When necessary, it can even be used as a weapon, releasing the flames all at once to create a terrible torrent of flames.

Therefore, Sky Island shellfish has become a new way for Qinghai people to show off.

The nobles and wealthy were proud to hold rare shellfish, making them as valuable as gems, castles, gold and other ostentatious items, and they were highly sought after by people.

So the question is, shellfish are the goods that Gan Fowle signed a contract to trade with the navy and are protected by the World Government.

At the same time, only the navy can transport large quantities of shellfish to the sky island, not to mention that the G10 branch is commanded by the famous new admiral candidate Canglong, so there is almost no need to worry about safety issues.

It’s not easy to get rare shellfish!
If a big shot wanted it, he could just buy it through negotiation with the navy. Zhan Guo only regarded shellfish as a strategic material, similar to muskets and cannons, not something indispensable. Instead, he was happy to exchange it for money.

As for the others who cannot negotiate with the navy, they have only one way to go except robbing...

"Lieutenant General Canglong, Angel Island needs to dispatch more soldiers to maintain law and order!"

Kulik, with a chestnut on his head, found Ron with a wry smile. A list of criminals who had been caught smuggling shellfish was placed in front of Ron. What was ridiculous was that among the smugglers captured, there were only a few pirates and dark world merchants who were not afraid of death and arrived at Sky Island. From the proportion, it was less than one tenth...

It's not just one-tenth of the smugglers, but only one-tenth of all the pirates and merchants combined would become smugglers!
In addition, the rest are all native residents of Angel Island!
"Isn't Gan Fowl, the god, becoming less and less majestic?"

Ron was a little dumbfounded. He held the information reported by Kulik and shook his head.

"Human nature is greedy!"

As Qinghai's understanding of Baihai deepens, Baihai is becoming more and more familiar with Qinghai.

After knowing that their ordinary and valuable goods were worth thousands of gold in Qinghai, and that the cheapest small wind shells could be sold for 30,000 berries, or 300 million Iq, some people on Angel Island gradually couldn't suppress their greed and began to secretly transport shells and trade with people from Qinghai without Gan Fore's knowledge.

Angel Island has not experienced Enel's four-year tyrannical rule, and there are many people who are good at seeking death.

The Lower Sky Island is simpler than the Upper Sky Island and can be handled by just one balloon octopus.

There is no way the G10 branch would accept their smuggling license... It has nothing to do with the strict order from the Warring States. As Ron's base, the navy salary here is three times that of other bases!
One was a subsidy paid on time by the headquarters according to military rank, one was the gray income seized after clearing out the pirates, which Ron took all of, and the other was a reward and punishment system clearly listed by Ron, who had made great contributions and was wealthy.

Looking at all the naval branches around the world, you won't find a place with richer per capita wealth than the G10 navies.

A month of smuggling with you doesn't make as much as my monthly allowance, and I still have to take the big risk of entering Impel Down. Are you 484 stupid?
Therefore, the G10 branch is definitely a forbidden area for smugglers, for one simple reason: I have money!

Anyone encountered by the G10 branch will have their goods confiscated and repatriated without exception, and Gan Fowle will punish them.

But there are still more smugglers who have not been caught!

They just need to come to Qinghai and find a merchant to sell them.

Just a small amount of shells allowed them to buy a large estate on an island full of bass in Qinghai. From then on, they had no worries about food and clothing and did not want to go back to the sky island at all.

Gan Fowle's painstaking efforts to move Bass to the Sky Island resulted in a worse outcome than letting the residents of Angel Island accept living in Qinghai on their own. The expected hidden danger of Angel Island nobles dividing up the land and starting an outright war was nipped in the bud by their own greed.

This is really cause for celebration!
However, Ron directly rejected Kulik's request for additional troops to maintain public order.

"No, we don't have the right to do that."

"Huh? Why?"

Kulik looked at Ron blankly. Although the smuggling volume was insignificant compared to the navy's trading volume, it was also a blatant provocation to the navy's rules!

"Although I am also angry about these guys' behavior of betraying their own people, this is the fact..."

Ron calmly lit a cigar and threw the information into the trash can.

"The Navy has only signed a trade agreement with Angel Island. Except for the airship port on the White Sea, the Navy does not have any law and order management authority."

"We have countless allied and non-allied countries watching behind us. If we send a large army to Angel Island to maintain law and order, what do you think will happen?"

Kulik was stunned when he heard this: "What will happen?"

Ron blew out a smoke ring, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

“It will lead to war!!”

Kulik shuddered and immediately understood.

The navy is not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of member states with its own military force. This is a rule known to the whole world and set by the world government. Even if it is a non-member state, the navy will not interfere in their internal affairs too much for reasons of image, interests, and so on.

No matter how abominable the smuggling of shellfish is today, it is merely Angel Island's own internal affair. As long as they do not violate the trade regulations signed with the Navy and do not affect the supply of shellfish, the Navy has no reason to send troops, no matter whether the purpose is good or bad!
