Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

[Didn't you prepare any juice this time... Looks like I've been lazy lately.]

Kaido smacked his lips and started thinking about something dangerous.

[Should I bring my wine flask to the next meeting?]

……

"Well, that's it."

“They are indeed some excellent and feasible plans.”

The first one to finish reading was Wright. He adjusted his freshly wiped glasses, put down the document in his hand and asked:

"Ms. La, according to what you wrote in this plan, do you want to divide the pirate group into different departments?"

"Correct."

La nodded.

"I won't elaborate on the chaotic situation among the beasts right now. I believe everyone is more or less aware of it."

"And what I want is to use this opportunity to complete the internal organizational reconstruction of the pirate group in one fell swoop."

After saying this, La turned his gaze towards Kaido.

Seeing that Kaido was having a lot of trouble watching, but his attitude was still very serious and not perfunctory at all, La nodded affirmatively.

At least the other party will not let down in such important matters.

"Hmm? ...Why are you looking at me?"

Feeling La's gaze, Kaido raised his head and asked in confusion.

"I wonder if Captain Kaido has any suggestions for my proposal?"

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished reading it yet. Remember to use larger paper next time."

As he said this, he lowered his head again.

"Don't bother your eyes any more. I'll explain it in detail shortly."

La said as she tapped the table lightly.

"Ossie, Burfat."

"Yes!"

“Ah, ah? …Is it about to start?”

When they heard La calling their names, they stopped staring at each other and immediately sat up straight.

Seeing that everyone looked up, La didn't keep them in suspense.

“There are three options that can be used as reference now.

One is to set up squads like the Whitebeard Pirates, with officers serving as squad leaders, and each squad having different responsibilities."

"Newgate..." Kaido touched his chin and said nothing.

"The second is the Big Mom Pirates' operating model, where officers are assigned to various islands for complete administrative and military management."

"We don't have that many people. Next one."

Kaido waved his hand, signaling to skip this.

"Finally, we will establish a four-tiered management system based on the Navy's organizational structure."

"Oh, four levels of management? Which four levels?"

Kaido didn't expect that the last plan was based on the navy, and he immediately became interested.

"Captain - core cadres - middle-level cadres - grassroots members." La replied.

"With the captain as the center, establish core personnel to be responsible for managing all major affairs within the pirate group."

"The captain and core personnel will remain at the headquarters, and mid-level personnel will be stationed on the remaining affiliated islands."

"The final grassroots members will be an independent unit, consisting of eighty combatants and twenty logistics personnel."

"One hundred people... is that the configuration for a ship?" Burfat immediately understood the personnel composition.

"Indeed, these combat teams will form the cornerstone of the future Hundred Beasts' combat power. They will remain on each island and will not be replaced at will."

These are actually equivalent to the garrison soldiers of various naval branches.

"Mid-level cadres will have command authority over these combat teams when assigned to various islands, but any long-distance operations off the islands will require approval from core cadres or above."

"We also use the monthly tax payments from each island to rotate resident positions, ensuring that every mid-level cadre and combat team knows each other."

This rotation system allows middle-level cadres to become fully familiar with all the conditions in the pirate group's territories, avoiding being completely in the dark once they leave their base.

At the same time, this monthly rotation also minimizes the situation where some naval branches turn the soldiers in the base into their own private armed forces.

Although some of the people present were not well educated, they were all veterans who had been in the sea for many years and could understand this kind of thing very easily.

"What about affiliated pirate groups like ours?"

Scapgate raised his hand to ask a question.

He is now both a cadre and the captain of an affiliated pirate group. This dual identity makes him unsure of his position.

La did not answer his question. Such cadre-level appointments still had to be made by Kaido.

"You can lead your pirate group to settle permanently on an island.

Or I can give you a core cadre position, but your members must be disbanded and incorporated into grassroots combat teams."

Unexpectedly, Kaido did not make direct arrangements, but gave the other party two choices.

Of course, for Skepgate, there was only one choice: he couldn't abandon his companions.

"I choose to be with my crew, Boss Kaido."

"Is it"

Kaido was not surprised by Skepgate's choice.

"Then you will be stationed on Hati Island from now on."

"Huh? Ha... Hati Island?"

It's no wonder that Skepgate was so surprised. Hati Island is one of the two most important sub-islands of Fenrir Island. It is a barrier protecting the main island and is an absolute core territory.

Moreover, Hati was his base before the beasts came, so this time he just went back to his hometown.

I originally thought that Kaido would definitely send someone like him, who was originally a hostile force and brought his men to join him, to some remote island with no one around...

[I didn't expect that Boss Kaido would trust us so much... Hey~ If only Big Brother had turned to him in the first place.]

Bad luck, no wise leader~

"Thank you, Boss Kaido! We, the Fore Pirates, are willing to follow the Beasts until our death and never betray them!"

Skepgate stood up and, imitating what Forle had done to John, clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Kaido.

"Okay, sit down."

Kaido grinned and looked around for a wine jug to drink from.

But then he remembered that he didn't bring it this time, so he could only look at her resentfully, and then smacked his lips helplessly.

Chapter 108 New System

In the end, with Kaido's approval, the basic management system of the Beasts Pirates was confirmed.

Led by Kaido, there are five core cadres under him - Burfat, Jin, Ra, Ossi and Ouba.

These five people, together with Kaido, coordinate the mobilization of materials and personnel within the pirate group, and are responsible for deciding all major matters within the pirate group.

The five core cadres have the right to mobilize middle-level cadres and combat teams stationed on various islands, and can also recruit their own private teams.

Below these six people are the middle-level cadres, who are originally the captains of each combat team. If the number of people is insufficient, they will be selected through open combat.

They are responsible for guarding the various islands under the control of the Beasts and paying taxes on a monthly basis.

At the same time, monthly rotation and annual re-selection are required according to Kaido's requirements.

As for the selection method...it's of course the qualifying round.

At the annual Hundred Beasts Festival, a ranking competition for middle-level managers will be held, with the winners taking over and the losers being eliminated.

At the same time, La also divided it into core waters and marginal waters based on the location and resources of its subordinate islands.

Those cadres with higher rankings will naturally be assigned to the core areas first.

As for the lowest level combat teams, they were divided into thirteen hundred-man teams according to their background and combat performance.

Each century consists of eighty combatants and twenty combat support personnel, such as cooks, ship doctors, navigators, etc.

These hundred-man teams will be stationed on the islands and are not allowed to leave the shore more than twelve nautical miles without the order of core cadres, let alone go out to sea to plunder.

Their daily expenses are entirely allocated directly by the Fenrir Island headquarters.

In addition, pirate groups like the Fore Pirates who voluntarily become affiliated pirate groups will retain their pirate group organization and be directly stationed on other islands without having to participate in rotation.

Moreover, these affiliated pirate groups directly obey Kaido and have the right to retain 10% of the taxes collected from their bases.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the strength of their captain is recognized by everyone in the group, otherwise the weak will not be eligible to enjoy this preferential treatment.

In addition to these most basic main structures, as the real core stronghold of the Beasts at this stage, Fenrir Island will have a general financial warehouse, material warehouse, weapons warehouse, etc.

A special department will also be set up to be responsible for the deployment of these weapons and supplies in order to strengthen the connection with the subordinate islands.

Of course, special departments such as intelligence department, weapons research and development department, and staff department will be established on the island and directly under the various core cadres.

This is the new management system that Baishou is currently going to implement.

I have to say that now it finally looks like a regular force and no longer looks like a makeshift team.

However, although the general framework has been set up, it will still take a long time to prepare for its actual implementation.

After all, we still have to count the number of people, establish groups, select cadres and arrange locations.

These things don't sound complicated, but after actually starting to do them, it still took me nearly a month to barely complete a rough outline.

As the roster for the final combat team was finalized, countless letters of appointment and transfer orders were issued like snowflakes from the small temporary room next to the Fenrir Island warehouse...

"Boss Taolong! Boss Taolong!"

"Look, come look at this!"

A turbaned pirate holding a box stumbled to the door of a tavern in the town.

All the customers who were chatting and drinking in the tavern were immediately startled by the noise and looked outside through the open door.

"Hoo~cough cough! Boss."

"Congratulations, congratulations..."

Although he was out of breath, the pirate still couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

"Hmm? Congratulations?"

"Oh! What's there to congratulate?"

"Ton ton ton ton~"

In a dark corner, the pirate named Taolong just glanced at the other party indifferently after hearing the words, and then started drinking by himself.

This man has been in this pub getting drunk every day since he lost to Skepgate a month ago.

"Bang!"

Another empty bottle was casually thrown onto the table, spun around, and fell to the floor.

However, it was not as lucky as the other empty bottles lying on the ground. It hit another bottle directly, and both of them shattered into glass shards.

"Hey! Brother Taolong, stop drinking!"

Seeing his decadent look, the pirate with the turban ignored everything else and walked right up to him.

He waved his hand to sweep away all the standing wine bottles on the table, then wiped the table twice with his sleeves. The turbaned pirate then carefully placed the box in his arms on the table.

"Wine, my wine! You, what are you doing..."

Taolong, who was still in a drunken trance, was about to get up to pick up the bottle, but was held back by the other party.
