Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

This once again moved the pirates to tears, who kept praising the East Blue Overlord's ambition, saying he had the potential to dominate the world and sit on the throne of the Pirate King.

The overlord of the East Blue didn't roll back from the Grand Line; he returned for the sake of the East Blue pirates' hopes!

It’s so touching!

Finally, when I felt it was about time.

Mok grabbed again, silencing the cheering crowd once more. Holding a megaphone Den Den Mushi, his face stern, he shouted, "Now everyone repeat after me!"

"To succeed, you must first go crazy and charge for money at all costs!"

The crowd shouted, "To succeed, you have to go crazy and charge for money at all costs!"

"Take a gamble and earn millions; only by working your hardest can you avoid failure!"

"Take a gamble and earn millions; only by working your hardest can you avoid failure!"

"Sleep on the deck tonight, become the Pirate King tomorrow!"

"Sleep on the deck tonight, become the Pirate King tomorrow!"

As the last sentence fell, the atmosphere in the room was ignited once again, reaching a climax. Looking at the excited pirates, Moke nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and threw the megaphone Den Den Mushi in his hand into the hand of his subordinate. He said casually, "Meeting adjourned!" Then, under everyone's gaze, he flicked his cloak and turned away with a flourish.

He exuded the aura of a hegemon of the East China Sea, making everyone look at that figure with admiration.

No wonder he has a bounty of 80 million and defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the ruler of the East Blue!

Only one person in the hall, with a red nose and a bewildered expression, watched from the beginning to the end. Looking at the group of pirates chanting "Sleep on the deck today, become the Pirate King tomorrow!", he muttered to himself, "Are these guys... insane?"

……

"Are they crazy? Have all the pirates in the East Blue gone mad?"

Naval Headquarters, Office of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

They also received intelligence from the Navy's 16th Branch, which had years of experience resisting the East Blue Overlord, and even received the bizarre book "Starting as a Pirate from Zero," written by the East Blue Overlord himself.

This left the Warring States Marshal speechless.

What do you want to do?

Not long ago, he was wondering what the East Blue overlord was planning to do after defeating Crocodile, capturing the king of the member state, provoking the World Government, and showing his ambition to the whole world.

The result is now...

Did he actually go back to class?

To promote the vigorous development of East Blue pirates, expand the East Blue pirate business, and shed the title of the weakest sea?

Is this what pirates should do?

Even the Pirate King Roger wasn't this outrageous!

Fleet Admiral Sengoku scratched his head as he looked at the intelligence sent up by the 16th Marine Division, rubbing his head in frustration.

I have to say that this East China Sea overlord's analysis is quite accurate!

If you want your bounty to increase quickly, recruiting nobles and royalty from member states is indeed the fastest way.

Of course, it wasn't because of these pirate leaders.

These are just small-time pirates from the East China Sea. All of them combined are not even as powerful as the overlord of the East China Sea. Even if these guys cause trouble, what kind of trouble can they possibly cause?

And do these petty pirates really think they're all the overlords of the East Blue, provoking the Navy so many times without ever getting caught?

What gave him a headache was...

What exactly does this overlord of the East China Sea want to do?

As the Fleet Admiral, Sengoku suddenly realized that he had absolutely no idea what this guy was up to!

Is this really a plan to revive the glory of the East Blue pirates?

At this time.

Just when the Warring States period was facing a headache.

"Marshal Sengoku, we're getting calls from member states in the East Blue saying they've been attacked by pirates." A navy officer rushed in and said anxiously, "Many kings and nobles have suffered heavy losses. We hope the navy can capture the pirates as soon as possible and increase their bounties."

"I already know!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku waved his hand, rubbing the bridge of his nose, and said, "Tell the member states of the East China Sea that the navy will make arrangements as soon as possible."

only.

That's what they say, but right now the Marine Headquarters is under orders from the World Government to do everything they can to find Vegapunk, so they have no time to deal with these trivial matters.

Especially after he read the message from the 16th branch...

Apart from the East China Sea overlord being a bit troublesome, the rest are just small-time pirates, so there's no need to make a big fuss about it.

Sengoku pondered for a moment, "Have Captain Smoker cooperate with the 16th Marine Division to capture the pirates who are plundering member states. At the same time, increase the bounty of the East Blue overlord, Moke, to... 100 million Berries, and also increase the bounty of the pirates who caused this trouble to attract bounty hunters from the East Blue!"

That should be enough. But that overlord of the East China Sea... will threaten and cause trouble for the navy sooner or later!

First they threw a pirate feast, and now they're trying to revive the glory of the East Blue pirates. Who knows what they'll do next!

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the Marines and said, "The 16th Division of the Navy said that Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has established his own territory in the East Blue?"

"Yes, and it's very close to the 16th Marine Branch, which is giving Colonel Xia Che a real headache. He said that with the Seven Warlords of the Sea next door, he feels really insecure and is constantly anxious. He hasn't been sleeping well lately. He hopes that the Marine Headquarters can allocate more military funds so that the 16th Marine Branch can strengthen its armaments and equipment to deter the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"First there was the East Blue Overlord, and now another Shichibukai has appeared. It's really giving that kid Shache a headache. I don't know what Bartholomew Kuma is thinking. After becoming a Shichibukai, instead of returning to his own kingdom, he actually went to the East Blue to establish his own power?" Fleet Admiral Sengoku sighed, nodded, and said, "Alright, let the Finance Department allocate more funds. Also, tell Bartholomew Kuma that it's an order from the World Government..." With a serious expression, "He needs to cooperate with the 16th Marine Division to capture the East Blue Overlord—Mok!"

"Yes!"

After dealing with the minor trouble in the East China Sea, Marshal Sengoku slowly exhaled. Seemingly noticing the commotion coming from the corridor, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Reporting to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, it is a gift from the 16th Naval Division."

"Another gift for Zephyr? Even though that kid was demoted to the East Blue, he's still quite grateful." Sengoku nodded, a faint smile on his face, upon hearing the Marine's words. "He sends Zephyr a gift every year around this time. Of all the Marines who have been demoted, only this kid still remembers his mentor. It's no wonder Zephyr protected him so much back then, but..."

He looked down down the corridor with a puzzled expression.

"Why does it seem like there's a lot more stuff this year? What's wrong? That kid's always complaining about being poor, did he strike it rich this year?"

"Eh……"

"Say!"

"It seems like not only Professor Zeff received one this year, but Admiral Kuzan and Vice Admiral Garp also sent them." Looking at Fleet Admiral Sengoku frowning, the Marine hesitated for a moment before saying, "So, there are quite a few this year!"

"Garp and Kuzan both have them? This kid is quite worldly-wise and has some talent, but he doesn't use it for serious matters. Cough, what about mine?"

"Eh, sorry, it seems... I didn't see Marshal Sengoku."

The words fell.

Warring States Period: ...

So... Zeff has it, Garp has it, even Kuzan has it, but he, the Fleet Admiral, doesn't?

You know, he approved a lot of funding for this kid!

This kid is so clueless about social etiquette!

Chapter 82 Justice

"Kuzan, that kid sent you something too? Garp said you'd met him, I was wondering what was going on! Why would you go see that kid if there wasn't anything wrong? Now it seems it's true!"

"We've only met a few times, Teacher Zephyr." Kuzan also picked up the package that had been sent to him with a puzzled look. He cautiously peeked inside and, finding nothing that could be hidden, breathed a sigh of relief. He then resumed his lazy demeanor, looking at the burly, purple-haired man with only one arm in front of him, and said leisurely, "We're not very close!"

"Don't you know him well? This kid... after being demoted, he hasn't achieved anything in all this time. He's been stuck in the East China Sea confronting some East China Sea overlord. He hasn't learned anything, but he's getting more and more skilled at these things. I'll have to give him a good scolding next time I see him."

Zephyr sighed, looked at Kuzan who was holding the orange wine and looking at it curiously, and said cheerfully, "This is orange wine, a specialty of the East Blue. It tastes pretty good. A few years ago, that kid kept hoping that I could help him get the Navy Procurement Department to buy it, saying that his side was too poor and he hoped to make some money!"

"..."

That guy is poor?

No one in the entire East China Sea branch was richer than him, and even in the Grand Line, few branches could compare to him.

Kuzan raised an eyelid, but didn't say anything more.

He had drunk this orange wine when he was in Red Romance, and it tasted really good. He never expected that... even though he had returned to Marine Headquarters, that cunning kid would still send it to him?

What exactly do they want to do?

"It's a pity that I mentioned it to the Navy Headquarters, but it failed. However, that kid still sends it every year. He's quite thoughtful." Zephyr sighed, looking at the orange wine in his hand.

He had high hopes for Xia Che, believing that he would definitely have a chance to become an admiral in the Navy Headquarters in the future.

Unexpectedly, so many things happened, and in the end, this kid was demoted and stayed in Donghai for so long.

In recent years, he has heard many people say that the former genius has fallen from grace and lost his willpower, but as a teacher, Zefa has always believed in that child.

He may be feeling down now, but I believe he will regain his confidence in the future.

I just don't know how much longer it will take.

Looking up at Kuzan, he asked, "Since you've seen that kid too, Kuzan, what do you think of him now? Has he stopped training? Has he really fallen from grace?"

"That kid..." Upon hearing Zephyr's words, Kuzan understood why Zephyr had come to find him, and he couldn't help but recall the duel at sea that day.

have to say……

That kid's swordsmanship definitely lives up to his reputation as a genius!

That kid just didn't seem to have any good feelings towards the World Government and the Marine Headquarters, and he kept hiding in the East Blue, deceiving everyone.

"I'm doing pretty well. As for the rest..." Kuzan pursed his lips and stretched, "It's just so-so!"

"so so?"

Just as Zephyr was frowning upon hearing Kuzan's words.

A female navy woman with long, flowing, wavy, sea-blue hair, wearing a purple vest and black shorts, suddenly asked, "What about his swordsmanship?"

With a tense tone, she asked, "Have they already given up?"

"This is Aion, a student in the same class as Xia Che. He was also quite talented. Back in the training camp, he was Xia Che's opponent, but unfortunately, he never won. Even after Xia Che graduated early, he didn't give up and always wanted to fight Xia Che again."

Hearing his student Ain's words, Zephyr seemed to remember something, and sighed again, a trace of sadness appearing in his eyes, "Of the children from Xia Che's generation, only a few are left. It's all my fault. If only I could have..."

The words are not finished yet.

"..."

Ain and Kuzan both fell silent, as they were aware of the tragedy that had occurred two years prior.
