Li Xia leaped into the air, and extremely noticeable waves of air burst forth from beneath his feet, propelling him forward at high speed.
In just a moment, they landed on the deck of Tina's huge escort ship.
The surrounding navy immediately lowered their weapons and saluted in unison. Other navy personnel might not have realized this, but Tina's 'Cage Force' was extremely familiar with Li Xia.
Putting aside everything else, they were responsible for escorting those several thousand criminals and the nearly one hundred pirates who followed.
Where is Tina?
Li Xia waved his hand and casually pulled over a familiar-looking marine to ask:
"Reporting, Colonel, Commander Tina and the other branch officers are gathering these rioters together!"
He walked straight into the conference room and saw a group of apostles with indifferent expressions on their faces, waiting to see how things would unfold.
Their identities were all legitimate, and given that most of the people involved in the recent melee were pirates, it was perfectly normal for them to retaliate after being robbed by pirates.
Most importantly, who doesn't have a couple of life-saving skills?
"summer!"
Tina spotted Li Xia as soon as she entered, and a smile appeared on her usually icy face. The other colonels from the branch also smiled broadly.
This trip was incredibly profitable!
There are more than forty pirate ships alone. Even if they are divided among several families, each person can get ten ships.
Ships are valuable in themselves, and pirates are used to hiding their loot on their ships. A single ship can easily yield two or three hundred million Berries.
If it's a lot, four or five hundred million wouldn't be a problem.
How much are ten ships? That's billions of pegories!
Even if he had to share profits with his superiors or his connections in the navy, and also give bonuses to his subordinates, he still had over a billion in hand.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they naturally felt admiration and friendship towards their colleague who was single-mindedly focused on capturing pirates without seeking any personal gain.
"Everyone's here, that's great."
Li Xia nodded to everyone, readily offering polite greetings:
"Thank you all for your help this time. Without your help, this encirclement and suppression operation would never have yielded such great results."
If you have time, please come visit Jaya Island. I will then express my sincere gratitude to everyone.
"Look at what you're saying, we're all naval colleagues, it's normal for us to look out for each other and help each other."
"That's right, Xia, you're being too polite. We're brothers!"
"Without the information Brother Xia obtained from CP, could we have made such a great discovery?"
In my opinion, Xia should definitely be at the forefront of the credit reporting this time!
The atmosphere was harmonious, and after exchanging a few more pleasantries, everyone finally began to discuss business:
What's the situation with the remaining people?
"They all had legal identities and provided purchase orders and administrative orders to prove that they were going to Water Seven for procurement or official business."
Because he was carrying valuables, he was targeted by pirates, which led to a naval battle....."
Tina rubbed her forehead. She instinctively felt that there was something wrong with these people, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
As mentioned before, the Navy does not need evidence to make arrests. The Navy is not simply a law enforcement force, but rather a force similar to military control.
Unraveling the mystery, searching for evidence?
The navy wouldn't do that, so according to normal procedures, after verifying that these people have no problems, they should all be released.
"Okay, I'll do a quick interrogation. If there are no problems, release them. If there are any doubts, keep them for a few more days. I have a feeling something might happen in the next few days."
After a moment's hesitation, Li Xia solemnly accepted the arduous and tiring task.
Sure enough, the few people who had already eaten their fill immediately expressed their support without the slightest hesitation, let alone those who were just people who couldn't be squeezed out of any profit.
Even if Li Xia really does have some ulterior motive, so what?
We're all naval brothers. If we've eaten our fill, what's wrong with others eating a little?
"Yes, I trust Colonel Xia to handle it!"
“That’s right. With Xia’s help, even if some of them are pirates in disguise, they will definitely not escape Xia’s eyes.”
Even Tina nodded:
Tina thinks it's okay.
Get it!
.................
They found a room to use as a makeshift interrogation room, and Li Xia sat on a soft-backed chair.
He nodded to the marines standing ramrod straight in front of him:
"Bring the people aboard, by boat."
"Yes!"
Before long, several apostles walked in, half puzzled and half wary. They glanced at Li Xia, who was sitting in the main seat wearing a navy coat, and Hei Tan, who was squatting on the table, also wearing a navy coat.
After exchanging a cautious glance, the sweet-looking apostle took a few steps forward. Before she could speak, she already exuded a seductive charm.
Psychic suggestion skills?
Li Xia watched the 'pretending' female apostle with great interest. Just those few steps she took to get closer and speak contained many implications.
If Li Xia and Hei Tan hadn't both had extremely high resistance to mental skills, they might have actually been affected.
“Sir Navy officer, we are all legitimate merchant ships—”
Li Xia waved to interrupt her speech, while Heitan directly held up a sign that clearly read:
"Two thousand Hall Points per person, immediate release, free ship repairs."
The female apostle's smile froze on her face as she stared incredulously at Li Xia, who was dressed in a naval captain's uniform.
Looking at the sign in front of me again, my heart was churning like a tsunami.
No, it's only been a few days.
Someone has already reached the rank of Navy Captain?
To be able to mobilize such a large force, this must be a serious operation, right?
Thinking about himself and his squad, he realized that despite his best efforts, he had only managed to secure a purchasing position in Alabasta.
She turned around helplessly, wanting to see what her captain thought.
But then he saw the captain's eyes flash, and he nodded almost without hesitation:
"We'll give it to you!"
Two thousand points? Two thousand points is not much for a third-tier apostle, and it's stuck at a delicate point.
The healing potions that a third-tier member usually carries in the hall fluctuate around two thousand points.
If this limit is exceeded, the apostles will subconsciously use the healing potion to measure whether it is worthwhile.
But if they were given those two thousand, their ship would be repaired immediately and they could set sail for Enies Lobby without any hindrance.
And... the captain also thought of the most crucial point.
They were the first to be called in, meaning they paid immediately without any hesitation and were also the first to leave!
Why did the apostles engage in a chaotic battle before? Wasn't it all about getting ahead, about being faster than the others?
Two thousand points per person, buy the first ones to set off.
value!
After a simple notarization process, the group paid the money without hesitation and happily followed the marines to their ship.
The boatmen helped them repair the boat, and once it was restored, they set sail immediately.
"Meow!"
Black Charcoal's eyes lit up when he saw the 9900 points (after deducting notary fees) that had been deposited into his account.
Should we lower the price for the next person?
Li Xia chuckled. Those who came later would lose the advantage of starting first. The little cat's worries were indeed valid; the later the apostle was, the later they would set off.
Therefore, the willingness to pay is decreasing.
Why lower the price?
He picked up the sign that Blackie was holding and added a line to it:
"Two thousand Hall Points per person, immediate release, free ship repairs (guaranteed to be completed at the same time as the first person to pay)."
He threw down the pen:
"It's that simple."

"Meow?"
"boatman?"
Repairing dozens of ships at the same time would indeed require a large number of boatmen.
Li Xia smiled and said, "Have you forgotten where this is?"
Black Charcoal was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was Water Seven!
It is also home to the world's largest shipyard, and the official shipyard of the world government.
The shipyard's owner, Iceberg, had just survived an assassination attempt, which was thwarted by his secretary, Kella.
And Kerla is his comrade...
In other words, at this moment, Li Xia possesses unprecedented power.
Iceberg's shipyard has tens of thousands of shipwrights, and its four branches combined form a navy larger than a vice admiral's fleet.
This is the real reason why Li Xia is confident in charging 'entrance fees' here!
After listening to Li Xia's explanation briefly, Xiao Hei began to doubt its own existence again.
No, this is something the boss came up with in such a short time?
If it's about blocking the main entrance of Judicial Island to collect 'protection money,' then it's a plan that Blackie can understand.
However, the outbreak of naval battles in this area is entirely a random event.
In a short period of time, you need to figure out all the cards you can play, and then arrange them into a combination that may not be the best, but is highly feasible...
The cat is shocked!
Sure enough, when the second team came in and saw the sign, their faces showed the same bewilderment and shock as the first team.
I thought he was a character from the story, but he turned out to be an apostle?
An apostle is an apostle after all. After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, he immediately agreed to pay the money.
And so, one team after another, Heitan watched as the Hall Points in his account steadily increased.
There are more than 30 teams here. Normally, a team consists of 4-6 people, which means that on average, a team can earn 10,000 Hall Points.
A rough calculation shows that it's... a little over 300,000 Hall Points!
This is just the initial gain from this single global event. Based on the leader's usual level of gains, it's likely to be at least several million Hall Points.
The boss had mentioned before that someone told him that later on, the difference in benefits between apostles would become increasingly greater as their rank and strength increased.
It's only at the third tier now, but it's already starting to show promise.
"Two thousand per person? Interesting..."
Black Charcoal snapped out of his daze and saw several apostles looking at the sign with great interest, then glancing at Li Xia:
