Codex Pirates

Chapter 383 Cannon Hitting Mosquitoes

When the Marshal of the Warring States Period in the Navy Headquarters was still thinking about William's ideas, William was fishing leisurely by the sea with someone.

Puqi is famous for its gourmet food. Unlike the other cities that are also located on the sea train tracks - the capital of seven waters, St. Prutt and St. Poplar, which are industrial cities, Puqi is a typical tourist city. , there is a more urgent need for security issues.

Puqi's mayor, Bimini, is bloated, fat-headed, and looks clumsy, but he has a good chat with William and others, and even warmly invites William and the others to go fishing on the beach alone.

You must know that apart from Selkirk, whether it is the mastermind William, the undercover Ajin, or the think tank Danpier, they are all high-reward criminals who have emerged in this East China Sea War. Statements have been issued one after another, and the fixed impressions derived from the previous news and propaganda are not so easy to dispel. What's more, the government's statements can be seen by people with a discerning eye.

William and Dampier looked at Bimini's entourage and butler, and they were shocked when Bimini issued an invitation, and they hesitated to speak, so they knew the attitude of ordinary people towards their group.

In fact, Bimini is only aware of the situation. The Shichibukai is a legal armed force certified by the world government. Before William was abolished, the two sharp knives hanging above the heads of ordinary pirates were also islands and countries protected by the government. William's patron saints, the navy and the government, had no effect on William.

Without the deterrence of the navy and the government, how can Bimini, the mayor of Puqi, compete with William? After all, the so-called Qiwuhai under the king are all super criminals recruited by the government because of their fierce reputation and strength. Each side basically has the force to attack a country.

Although Qiwuhai under the king gave the world government and the navy a strong bargaining chip in the face of the Four Emperors, it became a dangerous time bomb that was not easy to deal with among the people and the countries that joined the world government.

Since both private and public affairs cannot be dealt with, Bimini can only open the door to William and pretend to be willing to cooperate.

He didn't even bring guards, but only a few entourages carrying fishing rods, chairs and other utensils, and went to the seaside with William and others.

"I just want to know how you plan to deal with the plethora of pirates in the sea," Bimini asked after watching William throw the hook far into the sea, "With all due respect, your sea train network plan is indeed It is a surprise, especially for a city like Puqi, it is of great significance, but if the security problem is not resolved, it is impossible to achieve the desired effect in your plan.”

Although the sea train network plan, and even the joint-stock company plan, have not been widely disseminated by the world government and navy like the fact that William became the next Shichibukai, it is not difficult for the well-informed parties to inquire. Because once it is implemented, it is difficult to conceal it, and the government has never thought of hiding it.

The mayor of Bimini knew about William's coming and knew about the plan in advance, which did not surprise William and others.

Ajin sat on the recliner with his hands in his pockets, and the fishing rod was thrown by his feet, which was completely opposite to William and Dampier who were interested in fishing.

Ah Jin was born as a fisherman, and fishing is a way of making a living for him. He would rather carry a fishing net, hold a speargun and fight sea kings in the offshore, but also cannot experience the fun of leisurely fishing. He thinks it is a waste of energy the behavior of.

So A Jin, who was not paying attention to fishing, was the first to reply when he heard the words of the mayor of Bimini: "Why, since you already know about the sea train network, haven't you heard about the joint stock company? Your Majesty Qiwuhai, isn’t it enough to deter the gang of criminals in the first half of the great route and make this sea area calm?”

Bimini glanced at Ajin with a ferocious face, then at William who seemed to be concentrating on the fishing rod, hesitated for a moment, and said: "There is a big man like His Majesty Shichibukai sitting in the first half of the great route. There is no need to worry about those big pirates, but for those small gangs that are numerous but inconspicuous, I am worried that they may not pursue them wholeheartedly with the arrogance of Shichibukai."

William chuckled, looked away from the sea where the hook was, and looked at Bimini, he knew the meaning of the other's words very well.

The pirate gangs responsible for the Great Route are big and small, strong and weak. Although the ruthless characters who appear, such as Supernova, are harmful, the threat of those unknown pirates to civilians and towns cannot be ignored.

The five old stars pay more attention to the former, paying attention to supernovae, or other potential newcomers who are qualified to reach the new world, because they are sitting in Marie Gioia, and they can see and hear major events such as supernovae at the first time. It is easy to see, or see, but ignore the small but widespread problems of the lower classes and the people.

In the words of William's previous life, they have been separated from the masses for too long.

However, William, who was born at the bottom, and Bimini, who is the mayor of Puqi, understand that a hundred small pirates with a reward of one million may not cause economic losses and casualties to the coastal area than a big pirate with a reward of 100 million Where to go low.

Under the king's Qiwuhai and the navy's cooperation in the first half of the great route, it is indeed enough to kill the potential newcomers valued by the five old stars, but it is impossible to wipe out all the big and small pirates in this sea area.

After all, a major source of pirates in the first half of the great route is the four seas.

In addition, each of the Shichibukai under the king is a notorious big pirate. Many people became famous long before William. Before William went to sea, he was already famous. It takes time for such a character to fight. It is not realistic to spend a lot of time and energy on security warfare.

Take William as an example, if he is allowed to chase and kill those unknown pirates all day long, he will not be willing. He can also taste the fun of cat and mouse once or twice. strike.

William will only hand over such trivial matters to his subordinates, but not everyone in the seven martial arts under the king has a well-organized armed group with a clear division of labor, and there are many small gangs and even lone rangers. For things like shooting mosquitoes with cannons, even if they nodded and agreed for a while, they would inevitably be passive and sabotage in the future.

Wu Laoxing may not have seen this problem, or may have seen it, but he doesn't care, but as the mayor of Puqi, and William boasted that he would protect the four cities on the sea train line in exchange for the right to operate the train, then But Bimini had to ask, this will determine the future of the city of Puqi, as well as his own future.
