Codex Pirates

Chapter 280 The First Shot

After William, Crowe, Zango and others studied how to torture Dr. Indigo, they left the cell.

As a result, as soon as he left the house, an attendant told him that Colonel Mouse was looking for him.

When William arrived at the study where Colonel Mouse was waiting, he found the mouse running around the room like a headless fly. When he saw him, he hurried to him as if he had found a life-saving straw.

The mouse looked a little pale, and said in an urgent and flustered tone: "William, you have to save me this time, someone from the headquarters is coming."

When William broke the news to Laura Louise, he did not hide the fact that the mouse and other East China Sea naval officers were bribed by him, so when the "World Economic News" exposed these unspeakable things, Colonel Mouse fell into extremes. In great panic.

In the East China Sea, William's power is naturally unparalleled, but compared with the Navy Headquarters, and even the world government, it is still not worth mentioning.

Of course, Colonel Mouse didn't know that William had voluntarily said these "crazy facts", otherwise he would have hated William to death for cheating his teammates. Up to now, Mouse still thinks that the news on "World Economic News" is the reporter's own investigation Because of this, he often complained in front of William to Tony, who was in charge of the Security Bureau at the time, thinking that if Tony's intelligence and defense work was not good enough, he would not have fallen into the current situation.

During this period of time, the mouse can be said to be in constant panic. It's not that he never thought of running away, but he has been the emperor of the navy branch for a long time, and he has been corrupted by William for so long, and he is already reluctant to part with his power and status. There has been no news from the headquarters for a long time, neither how to deal with William, nor how to hold him accountable, which made the mouse feel lucky, imagining that the senior management of the headquarters would not listen to the "slander" of a newspaper.

But the mouse told William that the news just came from the headquarters that the high-level navy of the Great Route finally responded to the recent major incidents in the East China Sea. They are about to send a fleet led by two lieutenant generals to the East China Sea to investigate the "Golden Lion" Shiji incident. before and after.

The mouse suddenly felt that the end of the world was coming, and he thought that the two senior officers here probably still shouldered the responsibility of investigating his corruption.

The mouse has been in contact with William for a long time, and he is very convinced of William's mind and strategy. In addition, he has fallen into the current situation because of his close relationship with William, so he wants William to give him ideas and think of some solutions.

But William focused on another piece of information.

"Two lieutenant generals?" William frowned slightly and confirmed, "Only two lieutenant generals?"

Seeing the mouse nodding, William asked, "Is there Karp in it?"

"It's Lieutenant General Stoloberg and Lieutenant General Dalmesia." The mouse shook his head again and again. Although Garp was only a lieutenant general in name, his reputation and influence were no less than that of a general or even a marshal. Like an admiral who is known for his strength, he can be called the signature of the navy.

The mouse was afraid that William, who had just dealt with the Golden Lion Shiji, would be careless, so he quickly said: "Stoloberg and Dalmesia, although they are both new lieutenant generals, are not easy to deal with. Catching and killing the murloc criminal Fisher Tiger, leading to his death, Dalmesia is also a user of the fruit of the animal department."

William didn't speak, he was not careless, but confused.

It has been a long time since "Golden Lion" Shiji appeared in front of William, to the news of his arrival published in Donghai newspaper, and then to William's killing of Shiji, but the response of the Navy Headquarters can be called slow.

If at the beginning, the people in the Navy Headquarters reacted slowly because they couldn’t do anything about the Devil Fruit ability of the golden lion Shiji, and they were helpless in the face of Shiji who could control an entire island to move freely in the sky. For a newcomer in the East China Sea who has sprung up suddenly, it is a bit strange that his reaction is so slow, and the final response is also confusing.

William temporarily appeases Colonel Mouse, promising to give him a large sum of money to escape, but before that, he needs to continue to pass on news to himself in the branch.

After the mouse left, William asked people to call Crowe, Sherlock, and Dampier. After the three arrived, William told them what the mouse had just said, and expressed his confusion.

William can be sure that in the eyes of the navy, his group is an obvious factor of instability, and it will not change just because Donghai was rescued by the golden lion Shiji. On the verge of crime, just say that in the East China Sea, where pirate bounties are usually only tens of millions, and the navy is relatively weak, there suddenly appears an armed force with unknown positions that can defeat the Golden Lion Shiji. The high-level navy will also be full of vigilance when looking at such a force.

How strong must the people of the Navy Headquarters be to turn a blind eye and throw the East China Sea, which is known as a model of peace, to William? And when facing the armed force capable of defeating the Golden Lion Shiji, only two lieutenant generals were sent over?

"Maybe it's just like what you said, the current world situation is complicated, and the navy headquarters is also short of manpower, so we can only send two lieutenant generals here?" Sherlock analyzed.

William once firmly believed that there should be a war with the navy, and there will be a war in the future. In order to strengthen the confidence of the high-level officials, he also analyzed the world situation for them and told them that now is a good time to fight.

Sherlock is more convinced by William's words. In connection with William's previous analysis of the world situation, he doesn't find the Navy's response difficult to understand. He even feels that the Navy's headquarters has been slow to respond during this period. It is likely that there are differences in internal attitudes towards William. The two attitudes of recruiting security are difficult to convince anyone for a while, but now the attitude of recruiting is likely to occupy the mainstream. After all, there is an example of "the king's seven martial arts" as a reference.

"If the Navy Headquarters wants to investigate our crimes and come to arrest us, it is impossible to come to the East China Sea with great fanfare, especially to notify the mice in advance," Sherlock analyzed one by one, "As long as they have read the World Economic News, they should know, We have many eyes and ears in the East China Sea, and the rats are also closely related to us, so we can know the news of their arrival as soon as possible, so we can prepare in advance."

"It may be to paralyze us," Crowe, who has not spoken, pushed his glasses, "or just to appease us temporarily, and wait until the navy is free to deal with us."

Sherlock frowned and said, "We even defeated the Golden Lion. The navy is our enemy, so it's impossible to have no worries."

"Golden Lion Shiji can pull the entire island into the sky and run around with him, can we?" Crowe shook his head. He had been on Melville Island for a while, and he knew very well that Golden Lion Shiki That is the scariest part of Shi Ke. After taking a look at William, he continued, "William once said, 'I am the master', I think it is right, no matter what the Navy does We should all be prepared for such a reaction, so as not to be caught off guard."

Sherlock explained: "I'm just worried that the navy originally adopted a strategy of appeasement, but we have been preparing to fight them. It is easy to cause misunderstandings, conflicts, and unnecessary wars."

"Don't worry," William smiled when he heard this, "We won't fire the first shot."
