Codex Pirates

Chapter 71: Recruit Ah Jin

"Even if the threat of Sea Kings has been greatly reduced, it is not without it, and crossing the calm zone still requires a lot of physical strength and energy. When crossing the calm zone, it is also the weakest moment for these pirates," Barbaro said. Sa's intact palm rubbed against the handle of the knife subconsciously, and said with a little pride, "This time is the best chance to attack them, and they are likely to carry devil fruits on their bodies."

The conversation of several people has attracted the attention of others, and Barbarossa's voice gradually increased, and finally turned into a mobilization: "When I first went to sea and got into trouble, I got a devil fruit there. So I have everything today! It is my lucky place, I believe, this will not change now, as long as we find another devil fruit there, then the enmity between Lace and Hayreddin, lost here We can get everything back!"

Barbarossa did not lie. When he, Leisi, Hayreddin and others went to sea for the first time, they encountered a predicament similar to that of William. They were hunted down by the long-famous old pirate and fled to the vicinity of the calm zone. As a result, luckily, I encountered a group of pirates who had just escaped from the great route back to the East China Sea. Crossing the windless belt exhausted their strength. The three red-bearded brothers paid some substitute drivers, and finally defeated each other and ate the devil fruit. .

In the end, Barbarossa, who obtained the fruit ability, successfully avenged his superiors and gradually became one of the best pirates in the East China Sea, and hooked up with Arcadio.

The situation at that time was more difficult than it is now, but Barbarossa survived. He believed that the heavens would still favor him, as long as he found another devil fruit and put this priceless treasure in front of Arcadio and Roy , they must not be able to refuse his request, and they will also pay him a large amount of cash.

And with the help of Arcadio and Roy, Barbarossa is more sure about hunting down Zhepu and the Chef Pirates. Treasure, then all the current difficulties will be solved - as long as the devil fruit can be found.

Barbarossa looked up and seemed to be able to see the sky through the roof of the cave. He firmly believed that he could find the devil fruit and continue his legendary story in the East China Sea.

William looked at the determined Barbarossa, and he firmly believed that as long as he pushed again, Barbarossa would turn against Arcadio.

William now finally understands why Barbarossa was able to hold back even though he was furious in the face of Arcadio's humiliation before, because Barbarossa felt that there was still a way out, and the devil fruit was his last bargaining chip. As long as he had a devil fruit, Arcadio will no longer care about the previous differences, a treasure with hundreds of millions of Baileys is enough to fill the rift between allies.

But what if you can't find a devil fruit? In other words, when Barbarossa found out that even if he found the Devil Fruit, it would still be difficult to bridge the gap between the two sides?

The windless belt spans the East China Sea, and its length is endless. In such a large sea area, the chances of encountering a group of pirates who are lucky enough to pass through the windless belt, and who happen to have a Devil Fruit in their hands are not high.

Of course, since the probability is not zero, it is still possible to encounter it. It all depends on luck, and what William himself dislikes the most is to place opportunities on illusory luck.

...

Arkin was cleaning weapons in the Sixteenth Naval Division as William sailed with Frederick toward the Quiet Zone.

After tortured Ward to obtain information, in addition to making up his mind to pretend to board the ship, William left Akin alone and ordered him to undercover the navy. This also led to him not being present, including meeting Sherlock.

In fact, before becoming enemies with Barbarossa, Arcadio and others, William had planned to send people to the Navy as an undercover agent. On the one hand, the Navy is one of the largest forces in the sea. Its movements, collecting information on it, on the other hand, William has never thought about stealing some naval military technology, such as weapon data, and even physical technology data.

William didn't believe that Lian Koshiro's small dojo could provide superb and meticulous swordsmanship training, but as an important armed force at sea, the navy didn't even have the technical reserves to train soldiers.

It's just that William was not in a hurry at the time, and was planning to make plans according to the current situation. He wanted to install Ajin after the tentacles of the smuggling business extended to new areas, but after the accident in Wallonia, this plan obviously fell through.

It was barely a coincidence that Akin was placed under Roy's command. William didn't know who the navy colluded with Arcadio and Barbarossa was. He could only analyze it geographically. , it happened to be the sphere of influence of the Sixteenth Division of the Navy, the possibility of collusion between the officers of the Sixteenth Division and Arcadio was higher, and even if the guess was wrong, it would not hinder William's plan.

The navy under the World Government has a detached status and is independent of the kingdom’s rule. The systems related to their conscription and other work are naturally very simple in the eyes of William, a traverser. At the beginning of his time travel, he thought that the Navy and the World Government would be like the Earth in his previous life. He went through some procedures such as political review for recruits to join the army, but after living for a while, he realized that he had really overestimated the world government and navy.

The already outdated conscription system, coupled with the semi-independent and semi-closed management of each naval base, all of these have resulted in uneven recruitment by the navy. It is not surprising that fugitives from various kingdoms have mixed into the navy team in order to avoid being hunted down.

Therefore, A Jin transformed easily and became a naval recruit in the 16th Division of the Navy. Because of his skills and bribes, he was highly valued by the second lieutenant Mouse of the Navy.

It's just that Ah Jin actually doesn't quite understand whether the object that the mouse values ​​more is his money or his skill.

The mouse is a greedy villain, and Ah Jin can be sure of this. He actually hates this boss with a sly eyebrow and a mouse eye, but helplessly, William "likes" this kind of real villain. After getting a lot of useful information and feeding it back to William, it provided a lot of help for William to improve his plan.

Ah Jin, who was cleaning his weapon, looked at the time, packed up his tools, left here, walked along the corridor, came to his dormitory, dug out a box of cigars and a bottle of sherry from under the bed, and walked to the duty room .

When he arrived outside the duty room, he saw no one around, so he knocked lightly on the door, pushed it open, and walked into the room.

A Jin secretly glanced at the table full of phone bugs, then smiled, and said to a young navy soldier who was looking at him in confusion: "Neil, do me a favor."
