Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 421 Auction!
Seeing Ron's confused expression, the flying squirrel felt that his choice of words was inappropriate and began to explain the reasons in detail.

The story begins with the composition of this world.

As we all know, apart from the numerous countries and islands on the ocean, there are generally only two types of people.

The Navy and the World Government as law enforcers.

The pirates who are criminals and the dark world.

The conflict between law enforcement and criminals is a long one, and each time it is accompanied by a large amount of seizures.

In addition to the part that must be handed over according to the regulations, there are also some ownerless items that even law enforcement officers would be jealous of.

In this case, whether to strictly order all the goods to be handed over or to turn a blind eye has always been a difficult question. When a dog is pushed to the limit, it will jump over the wall; when a rabbit is pushed to the limit, it will kick its legs. If the people below are pushed to the limit, who knows what they will do?
Haven’t the scum in the navy done enough shit?

Finally, the government decided that it was better to open up than to block, so they set up a place for these navy officers with ownerless items to exchange what they had, and this was the naval black market.

You can take those ownerless things, the government will not pursue it. As long as it is not taboo ancient knowledge, this is the bottom line that absolutely cannot be challenged and can be ignored.

But if you want to sell it, you have to go through the naval black market.

Preferential treatment can be given in terms of price, but the flow must be completely controlled by the government.

It was just like the batch of seastone that was left after Ron carried out a mission in the West Sea and destroyed the Capone gang and handed over the bulk to Zhan Guo.

Under normal circumstances, just like Ron, Henry could only hide it and sell it on the black market in exchange for what he needed.

Here he can sell the things directly to the government without worrying about being held accountable.

As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

It is almost a basic operation for every naval commander to wipe out pirates and pocket the ill-gotten gains that cannot be returned by their owners.

Even though the lieutenant generals in this department never worry about money, it doesn't mean they are rich.

No one can ever have too much money. Those who have families need it, and those who don’t have families also need it if they want to do something on their own.

Otherwise, how could Lieutenant General Jonathan in the original novel build the base into an iron fortress relying solely on the military funds allocated each year? Where did Lieutenant General Kong Ming in the movie get the money to hollow out an island to trap the Straw Hat Pirates? How could Garp provide the soldiers with weapons that would make the government army jealous to maintain their combat effectiveness?

Gray is the main color of the world, and this is also true in the navy.

As long as the justice in your heart is impartial and the general direction is not wrong, this little thing is within the scope of what the government allows.

So what the flying squirrel said was right. No matter how much it explains, it cannot change the fact that it is a black market...it's just that the identities of the buyers and sellers are a little special.

“Genius idea!”

Ron exclaimed sincerely.

Who says world government is all about corruption and incompetence?
That's just one side!
If there were no harsh Heavenly Gold System, the World Government would sit firmly on top of the world!

This move alone aligned the interests of the headquarters' vice admirals with those of the government, virtually eliminating the possibility of traitors in the navy's high command.

Throughout the history of the navy, there is only one typical example, Dorag.

However, Ron quickly remembered that he had asked Henry to take the seastone to sell on the black market, and specifically looked for suspected naval spies.

At that time, he thought he had cheated Zhan Guo and vented his anger for being blackmailed. Now think about it.

I'm afraid Zhan Guo is secretly happy in his heart? !
After all, in order to get rid of the trouble as soon as possible, the price of that batch of seastone was pushed down to a low point. If it were brought here to be sold, according to the government's preferential purchase price, the final price would be at least 20% more!

Twenty percent!!!
Ron cursed Zhan Guo in his heart.

At the same time, the previous bad speculations were also put aside.

If the Navy really has a mysterious organization that covers the admirals and so many vice admirals of the headquarters, it would pose an enormous threat to his plan to rule the world!
Sighing, Ron asked, "So, why did you let Admiral Aokiji bring me in today? Have I finally passed your approval?"

"You have to ask the Marshal, Ron... He has always disagreed with us telling you the news. As early as the moment you became a lieutenant general, I proposed that you join."

The vice admiral of the headquarters is the real backbone of the navy. If you are not at this level, you can only do things according to the rules. If you really make a small move, you have to be on tenterhooks all day long and pray that the supervisory agency will not find out. The flying squirrel sold the Warring States without hesitation and said, "Now I invite you to join because Chief of Staff Crane has agreed. In addition, there happens to be an auction today. With your financial resources, you should naturally be taken seriously."

Haha, that’s why!
Warring States Period, I will remember this grudge!
Ron sneered in his heart and nodded to show his understanding.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's officially start today's auction!"

The flying squirrel is well-known in the navy, has a long career, and has a wide network of contacts. At the same time, his justice is "fair justice" without any bias, making him the most suitable person to serve as the host.

Ron noticed that behind the wall in front of the conference table, a man and a woman in white suits and wearing animal masks walked out of the secret door.

Ron remembered the aura of all the CP0s he had seen, but these two were not among them.

"They are spies sent by the government. I heard they were selected from CP1-8. If there are auction items that pose a great threat or fail to sell, they will buy them on behalf of the government."

Chatun came over at some point, using the deceleration fruit to perfection. He whispered to Ron, "Lieutenant General Canglong, are you interested in making a bet after the auction? It's your first time here!"

Ron had already figured out Chatun's personality. He neither nodded nor denied it, and slowly said, "Let's wait and see... By the way, Vice Admiral Chatun, do you know what will be auctioned? When I came in, you seemed to be arguing about the auction items, right?"

Even though it was fleeting, Ron was able to hear the quarrel with his extraordinary observation Haki. Now, recalling carefully what he heard, it seemed that it was about whether a certain auction item should appear.

"It's just a treasure map with riddles..."

Seeing that Ron did not directly refuse, Chatun smacked his lips, thinking that there was something going on, and explained while biting his cigarette, "It's just that some of the labels on it are in ancient characters, but not all of them. There are more than a dozen other characters in total. It seems that the person who left the treasure map kept it secret by mixing various characters."

"You know, once the riddle treasure map is solved, the content on it is not worth mentioning. The focus is still on the treasure."

However, regarding ancient texts, no one knows whether the treasure trove contains anything related to forbidden knowledge. Are the ancient texts above just a mystery or are they true?

What if a blind cat catches a dead mouse?

But if it is not, but just pure treasure, then what purchase price should be offered for the treasure map to satisfy the seller and make up for the loss?

The lieutenant generals began a heated discussion on whether such things, which would be taken away by the government for investigation at first glance, could be auctioned.

Ron imagined what Chatun hadn't said, and when he looked up, he saw that the female agent was holding a Den Den Mushi and reporting in a low voice, as if she was confirming something.

There was no result for the time being, and soon the first auction item was delivered.

Something that could make the lieutenant admiral of our department intercept it must be extraordinary. The first item to be auctioned is a devil fruit!
Ron recalled that in the original book, CP9 was given the Devil Fruit directly after returning to Judicial Island. At that time, he just thought that the World Government was rich and powerful. Now think about it carefully... the wool comes from the sheep!
"A known devil fruit, animal type - the Bull-Bull Fruit - giraffe form."

"I'm sure you all know the pros and cons of the Animal Type. It's extremely powerful when combined with the Navy's Six Styles! Even if you can't use it yourself, it's good to give it to a younger generation you like. The starting price is 100 million Baileys, and each bid must be no less than 10 million!"

The flying squirrel glanced at the information, gave a businesslike introduction, and then said.

"Start bidding now."

Just as I was saying, I was thinking about CP9 in the original work. This devil fruit is the giraffe fruit that CP9 agent Kaku ate.

If Ron had not appeared, the fruit would have inevitably failed to be sold. In the end, due to the power relationship, it was obtained by CP9 Chief Spandam and handed over to the CP9 members who completed the mission.

There's nothing I can do. After all, it's just an animal type with no advantages.

The fighting styles of the lieutenants of the headquarters have been finalized. Unless they have a powerful devil fruit, no one would want to add a weakness to themselves just for that tiny increase in physical strength.

Even if the younger generation I like needs to be taken care of...

Nor would he want an animal-type fruit that is known as the weakest.

Ron glanced at the lieutenant generals and saw that they had their eyes closed and had no intention of speaking. Then he raised his hand and said, "One hundred and fifty million Baileys!"

A single price increase of 50 million?
What the hell? !
Swish!
A look of surprise came over.

Ron smiled at this.

I, Ron, have plenty of money!
It’s good to have drafts saved. I can go out for social events without any worries. When I get home, I can directly open the master’s code to check for typos and upload it in no time. It’s just a draft. There’s only one chapter left!
