Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

Chapter 168: Marie Joa’s secret rumors

At the beginning of the year 1504 of the Hainan calendar, the naval headquarters? Marine Fando.

In Marshal Kong's office, Louis was sitting carefree on the sofa, eating an apple in his hand.

"Barsolomi? Bear...?" Marshal Kong looked at the document, then smacked his lips and said, "This guy is actually from the GM Army? It's really... surprising."

As he finished speaking, he raised his hand to cover the document with his impression, and then picked up the next document.

With a 'click' sound, Louis bit off a piece of fruit pulp, and while chewing it, he said incoherently: "I met this guy Dorag when I was in Sobel. Now it seems that there is something different between them. It’s quite normal to have unclear relationships…”

"Yes, indeed." Marshal Kong nodded.

After a while, he looked away from the document, looked up at Louis and said, "What do you think of his proposal?"

"Me?" Louis swallowed the pulp in his mouth, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's definitely not as simple as he said. There are probably other plans here, so I don't intend to express any opinions. Marshal, you Just think it’s okay.”

"Haha, you kid is getting more and more cunning!" Marshal Kong scolded with a smile and stopped asking further questions.

Seeing this, Louis did not continue to talk about this topic. Instead, he asked: "Where is the Warring States General? Why didn't you see him when you came back?"

"I'm going to Marigioa. The World Conference is just around the corner. I need the navy to help arrange some things." Marshal Kong said casually.

"I see... So at this world conference, do our navy have any demands to make?" Louis asked.

"Ha, it's useless to mention it. Our navy has a tense relationship with the superiors. If we don't deduct military expenditures in the coming year, I think it will be a blessing." Marshal Kong put down the document, took a cup of tea and took a sip of tea.

"The relationship is tense..." Louis murmured and did not continue speaking.

"By the way, take a look at this." Marshal Kong suddenly thought of something and picked up a document from the table and handed it to Louis.

Louis got rid of the remaining apples, reached out to take the file, opened it and started reading.

After a while, after reading the document, Louis looked up at Marshal Kong and said, "Isn't this normal? I remember that in 1500, they also refused to participate in the World Conference, right? In my impression... I have never seen a fishman The royal family of the island came to Mariejoia for a meeting.”

What the document talks about is King Neptune of Fish-Man Island refusing to participate in the World Conference.

This is not surprising, although Fishman Island joined the World Government a long time ago and has been a stable member of the franchise since then.

However, because of race, slaves and other related issues, there are great differences between Fishman Island and the world government, and even the humans on the sea.

So they never participate in world conferences, they just use the name of a joining country.

Of course, I have to say that Fishman Island is very wealthy and pays the heavenly gold on time every year... I really don’t know what to say.

Now, in the Great Pirate Age, some special changes have taken place. For example, the flag now hanging on Fish-Man Island belongs to the Whitebeard Pirates, who have obviously classified Fish-Man Island as their own territory.

In this case, it is quite normal for people not to come.

However, after listening to Louis' words, Marshal Kong nodded first, then shook his head, and finally said: "It is very normal, but normal does not mean correct. The geographical location of Fish-Man Island is very important. If possible, I will I hope we can win support for their position.”

"That must be difficult... As far as I know, Neptune, the king of Fishman Island and the great knight of the sea, is quite repulsive to humans, and he is good friends with Whitebeard.

What's more, although the law prohibits the sale of related slaves on the surface, what is the reality?Marshal, you know what Marie Joa is like. The slave trade between mermaids and fishmen has been banned repeatedly.

In this case, it’s fine if you don’t fall out, but you still want to gain their support? "Louis was not polite and complained without hesitation.

Yes, King Neptune did not have a good attitude toward humans at the beginning like he did 20 years later.

At this stage, he was very repellent to human beings. It was only after the death of Princess Otohime that he finally came to his senses, inherited her will, and began to devote himself to the communication and contact between Fishman Island and the human society on the sea.

However, it was of little use in the end.

"Tsk, slave trading..." Upon hearing this, Marshal Kong had a look of disgust in his eyes.

How could he not understand that the main reason for the barrier between Fishman Island and the sea was the slave issue.

"Is there any way to solve the problem of slave trade?" Marshal Kong asked again.

Louis was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin and said: "Yes, as long as you nod, Marshal, I will go to Marigio and kill all those Tianlong people. There is no business, and naturally there will be no harm."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Marshal Kong glared at Louis and said.

"Hahahaha, Marshal, you also know, what can I do about this kind of thing?" Louis shrugged, spread his hands and smiled.

"Hey……"

Marshal Kong sighed, and then whispered with some emotion: "Although the world's government is in decay, the Five Old Stars still have great ideas and actions. They are not afraid to tell you that they also intend to reshape the relationship with Fish-Man Island, but no It’s good to know where to start.”

"With the rights of the Five Old Stars, it shouldn't be a problem to teach some Pig Dragons a lesson, right? As long as the evil tendencies about slaves can be stopped, everything will turn around." Louis said seriously.

Not paying attention to the disrespect for the Celestial Dragons in Louis' sentence, Marshal Kong frowned and thought: "It's not that simple. Although those five are the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons, they cannot arrange the affairs of the other Celestial Dragons at will... Specifically, I don’t know what the situation is, but..."

"But what?"

"But...the group of Tianlong people who seem to be trash now also play a key role in the world's government." Marshal Kong analyzed.

"Function?" Louis murmured, and then asked: "Is it about the orthodoxy of world government's legal rationality or something?"

Twenty kings conquered the world ZF, so their descendants enjoyed extremely high rights and were called descendants of gods.

This is the origin of the Celestial Dragons, and the world government supports the Celestial Dragons. In a political sense, their existence represents the orthodoxy of government legal rationality.

Marshal Kong shook his head and denied Louis's guess: "No, it's not for political reasons. It should be related to some secrets on Mariejoia. I'm just catching on to it. I'm not sure about the details."

After hearing this, Louis stopped asking further questions.

After all, the marshal didn't make it clear, so there's no point in asking.

"Forget it, the Tianlong people's affairs have nothing to do with us. To be honest Louis, aren't you quite smart at ordinary times? There is really nothing you can do about the Fish-Man Island matter?" Marshal Kong looked at Louis and said.

sky!I’m not Doraemon either, Marshal!

Scratching his head, Louis said helplessly: "It's nothing more than strengthening the relationship between the two parties. Speaking of which, Marshal, have you ever considered forming a special force composed of fishmen like our giant force? This might be possible It’s somewhat useful.”

"Our navy has done something similar before, but it obviously failed." Marshal Kong cut off the front end of the cigar, lit it and blew out a puff of smoke.

Without waiting for Louis to ask, he continued to explain:

"How should I put it? First of all, the mermaid tribe is not very suitable for fighting. They are peaceful in nature and don't like fighting very much. Therefore, we only absorbed the mermaid tribe at that time...

However, despite the fish-men's innate advantages, they are also naturally irritable and rude, have poor discipline, and are quite exclusive. "

When Louis heard this, he said with some disappointment: "So, is this the reason for the failure?"

"Yes, the murloc troops that were formed often rebelled. The headquarters had no choice but to disband. Since then, there have been no related proposals. Maybe they can become pirates or something, but they can't do anything like that. The navy...is really not good enough." Marshal Kong said very helplessly.

"That's quite a pity." Louis said with some emotion. He really didn't know that the Navy had made such efforts.

Maybe not all fishmen are irritable, but they are only a few, or even isolated cases, which are of no use and cannot change the overall situation.

"By the way, Marshal, does Princess Otohime of Fish-Man Island have great kindness towards humans?" Louis suddenly said.

After thinking for a while, Marshal Kong found that there was no relevant information in his mind, and he said hesitantly: "I don't know much about it."

"Marshal, you are going too far. You want to appease Fish-Man Island without understanding the current situation. Isn't that just empty talk?" Louis rolled his eyes and complained.

"Hahahaha, my fault. In this case, I will send someone to investigate." Marshal Kong touched his head, feeling quite embarrassed.

After picking up the tea cup on the coffee table and taking a sip, Louis asked again: "I always feel that the Warring States General is extremely busy all day, but why do I have nothing to do? Marshal, is there something wrong with me as a general?"

"Hahaha, no problem." Marshal Kong smiled, and then explained: "The Warring States Period is special. He not only has the responsibilities of a general, but also a large number of marshal's responsibilities..."

"I see, then I can fish with confidence." Louis joked with a smile on his face.

Fishing?I'm familiar with this!After all, we used to hang out with Teacher Bo!

At this moment, the phone in Louis' pocket began to chirp. He took it out, looked at it, and said, "It's Gion, Marshal. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Okay, let's go." Marshal Kong nodded.
