Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 73 Regular, regular, and more regular!

Rogge Town is very large. As the most important port city and hub in the East China Sea, it has a permanent population of nearly 20 and an even larger floating population.

It's comparable to a small country.

With Murak's tacit approval, the number of people engaged in the gray industry in Rogge reached an exaggerated level, even counting in the tens of thousands.

Most of them were low-level personnel. Even if they were brought back to the branch, they would only be detained for a few days, like the young ladies in entertainment venues or those petty thugs.

To arrest members of underground organizations, sufficient evidence is required. Unlike pirates, unless they are extremely heinous criminals, it is difficult to sentence them to death under the law.

Loya can kill pirates without hesitation, but he can't abuse his power when dealing with underground forces, or the gray industry.

He wasn't a serial killer, so we couldn't condemn him outright. At the same time, the branch didn't have enough spare manpower and resources to find evidence and go through the proper procedures.

"Management is a science!"

Loya flipped through the intelligence reports, filled with mixed emotions.

As the highest-ranking official in Loguetown, he must prioritize the stability of the town. If he focuses solely on arresting people, the re-employment of those at the bottom of society, such as prostitutes, will become a major problem.

Too many idle people will only make Loguetown more chaotic.

But clearly, he didn't have that much time and energy to manage Rogue Town; his own cultivation was the most important thing.

Sergeant Tashigi arrived at the office.

"Colonel, everyone has arrived."

"understood."

Loya nodded slightly.

In the largest meeting room of the branch, most of the leaders of the underground forces in Luoge Town were present. A group of people sat around the table, each looking fierce and menacing, mocking and ridiculing each other as they spoke.

If the navy hadn't been there, they probably would have started fighting immediately.

Loya entered the office, looked at the noisy underworld leader, and sneered, "Quiet down, you bunch of scum."

"."

Everyone immediately shut their mouths.

This black-haired colonel was ten times more ruthless than Murak, the kind who would kill without blinking an eye; otherwise, they wouldn't have obediently come to the naval branch.

"Tashigi".

"Yes."

Tashigi distributed the prepared documents to the leaders, categorizing them by type, and listed various requirements on them.

For example, casinos and entertainment venues can only operate from 8 pm to 12 am, and special services are prohibited.

"Look, these are the rules you need to follow."

"This is."

The leaders turned green as they looked at the list of regulations. If they followed the requirements in the document, wouldn't they be just like law-abiding citizens? How would they make any money then?

Someone slammed their fist on the table and shouted angrily, "Colonel Loya, you've gone too far! Why is my assignment a career change?!"

Who are you?

"I am Kabuto!"

"Hold on."

Loya quickly found the other party's information after flipping through the files.

"Drug Dog" Kabuda is involved in the drug trade.

That idiot Tashigi, why did she send an invitation to this guy too? Didn't he have a red circle around his name that said "Kill Kill Kill"?

Loya, annoyed, pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the astonished Kabuda.

"Bang!"

A bloody hole appeared between Kabuto's eyebrows, and blood spurted out.

"Drag him away."

"yes!"

Kabuto's body was dragged away by the marines, and Finbudi thoughtfully took out a rag to wipe the bloodstains splattered on the table.

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Loya twirled the pistol, put it back in the holster on his waist, and looked at the stunned leaders with a cold gaze.

"You bunch of scum, all of you should be dragged out and shot. None of you are innocent. I'm giving you a chance only because I don't have that much time and energy to clean up the mess."

"I called you here today to tell you the rules I set, not to ask for your opinions."

"Do you understand?"

Everyone fell silent.

This black-haired major is even more terrifying than they imagined!

"I only have three requirements for you!"

Loya held up three fingers.

"Legitimate! Legitimate! And absolutely legitimate!"

"The specific requirements have already been explained to you."

"I will regularly send my subordinates to patrol the area. From now on, if anyone's business dares to act improperly or engage in underhanded tactics, I will kill them!"

"Of course, you can also unite against me and see if my blade is sharper or your necks are tougher."

Many gray industry chains are actually legal, such as gambling, which even a future naval admiral was addicted to, and massage parlors, etc.

However, these legitimate businesses can easily lead to illegitimate ways of making money, which in turn breed some unseen evils.

He doesn't yet have the power to defy the law; he can only impose restrictions to keep these industries under control.

"I've finished speaking."

Loya calmly surveyed the crowd.

"Who's in favor, and who's opposed?"

"."

The leaders remained silent; even if they had opinions, they dared not speak them—Kabuda's death was their fate.

"I object!"

The arrogant man with slicked-back hair and a nose ring stood up.

Bartolomeo!

"Hehehehe!"

Barto stood up with a cold smile, picked up the rule document that had been given to him. As a gang, Loya only had one rule.

Disband!

Barto certainly couldn't accept it. With so many underlings under his command, were they supposed to starve after the disbandment?

"Black-haired Navy officer, I don't care what big things you've done. Our Barto Club has always kept to itself and the Navy. If you dare to mess with us, I'll show you what I'm made of!"

Bartolomeo.

Loya stared at Barto.

You brat, how dare you disrespect him in front of so many people? You're asking for trouble, aren't you? I'll make you pay!

"I visited Granny Nuomi yesterday."

"What? Grandma!"

Barto, who had been calm and collected, suddenly sensed something was wrong. He gripped his teeth with his little hands, looking terrified.

"Tashigi, give him the Den Den Mushi."

Loya gave an order and said coldly to Bato, "Grandma Nuomi is very disappointed with what you are doing now. She hopes you can repent and become good people."

"I promised Grandma Nuomi that I would take good care of you. If you don't believe me, call her to confirm."

The Den Den Mushi was handed to Barto.

"Ah, this, this..."

Barto took the Den Den Mushi and hurriedly dialed Granny Nuomi's number. As soon as the Den Den Mushi answered, he immediately asked if the situation was true.

After a long while, the mother-in-law's slow, leisurely voice came over.

"Ah, I think that's true."

"I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be."

"Then you'll listen to that black-haired navy officer from now on."

"Kachcha—"

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) hangs up.

Barto pointed at Loya with grief and indignation. They had to obey their mother-in-law's words; that's how they'd always lived since they were little.

"Navy, you're despicable!"

"hehe."

Loya chuckled: "Bring your underlings to the branch tomorrow. Not a single one can be missing, understand?"

"Huh? Why should I listen to you!"

"Your mother-in-law will be sad to see you acting so rebelliously."

"shut up!"

Barto exploded on the spot.

"Damn it!"
