Pirate: Son-in-law, I’m determined!

Chapter 71 Rogge Town Base Director—Loya

The Execution Square was washed away for a week before the red-stained ground faded away and returned to its former appearance, and all the damage caused was restored as before.

It was only then that the sleepy Rogge Town returned to some liveliness.

Branch, base director's office.

The windows are wide open, letting in a cool breeze.

Loya sat in front of the coffee table, stacking stones he picked up casually, concentrating on stacking them, while the slogans of the navy echoed in his ears.

The number of sailors in the branch has been reduced by more than half than before, but the slogans are shouted louder, and after the baptism of life and death, the momentum of the sailors has become more condensed.

A true elite teacher!

Fenbudi appeared in the doorway, thick papers in hand.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Come in."

Fenbudi came to the coffee table and handed over the document with a smile on his face: "Major, no, colonel! Your promotion approval is here."

"Well, let me take a look."

Loya picked up the file and flipped through it casually.

His contribution to wiping out the Dragon Pirates allowed him to be promoted two levels in a row, to branch colonel, and served as base commander of the Rogue Town branch.

Pretty much what he expected.

But don't be careless. The Navy Headquarters should have noticed his little move. But the sky is high and the emperor is far away. There is no evidence, so there is nothing that can be done against him for the time being.

But the headquarters will definitely take action.

"really!"

Loya turned to the last page, looked at the silver-haired man with a fierce face, and seemed to owe him money, and laughed.

What is supposed to come will eventually come!

It's the famous Smoker!

The Rogge Town branch suffered heavy losses. In the name of support, the Navy Headquarters sent Colonel Smoker to take up a post at the Rogge Town branch.

They are nominally his subordinates.

But in terms of position, the colonel of the headquarters is obviously higher than the colonel of his branch. Whether he can control Smoker will probably depend on his fists.

And once Smoker finds evidence that he killed Mulak and others, he is likely to directly replace him and take over Rogge Town.

I think this is what the headquarters means.

If there is no problem, everyone will fight for the top position based on their abilities. If there is a problem, they will be banned directly.

"Smorg!"

Loya was a little happy.

Smoker was his favorite general, no one else. A large part of the reason why he applied to come to Rogge Town was to meet Smoker.

The reason is very simple. While Smoker has a righteous heart, he is not so pedantic. He dares to criticize his superiors unceremoniously, dares to challenge the alliance's Shichibukai, and even dares to question the actions of the World Government.

In Loya's view, the navy lacks talents like Smog who dare to show his sword!

If the navy were to obey the orders of the World Government like Marshal Sengoku, there would be no hope for the navy in the future.

Loya put down the approval document and asked, "What happened to the pensions for the fallen soldiers?"

"The distribution has been completed, and no one is missing."

Fenbudi looked sad.

Although most of the soldiers who died in battle had nothing to do with them, they were companions who had fought together after all, and it was inevitable that they would feel a little sad.

However, this is the case with the navy. As long as there is a war, there will be sacrifices, but this time the casualties will be larger.

If you cannot adapt to the death of your companion, you may collapse first.

Loya nodded slightly.

"How is the seizure of the properties of Brigadier General Mulak and Colonel?"

"Verifying."

Fenbudi cheered up and informed Loya about the verification.

Mulak has ruled Rogge Town for many years. Not only does he control many gray industries, he also buys a large number of properties, etc., and even has more than 500 million beli in private cash.

In short, very rich.

Loya pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Use this wealth as an additional subsidy for the branch and distribute it to the families of the sailors who died in battle."

"yes!"

Fenbudi had a smile on his face.

Along the way, he was very aware of all Loya's actions, but the crazy actions in Rogge Town really scared him, and he was worried that Loya would fall into the trap of wealth and status.

Now it seems like I was worrying too much.

"Go ahead."

Loya waved his hand and came to the window to look down at the sailors in training.

He likes money very much, but he only takes what belongs to him, and he is not short of money. He stays in the branch all day and has nothing to spend money on.

Even though it's a small amount, he still hopes the money will go to those who need it, at least within his means.

Next, we have to rectify Rogge Town, but before that, there is still one very important thing to do.

"Big recruitment!"

The next morning, branch marines posted notices recruiting new recruits along every street in Rogge Town.

The intensity is comparable to small advertisements.

The force configuration of the Rogge Town branch is 1,000 sailors, which can reach a maximum of 1,500, but now there are only more than 500 people, and it is difficult to guarantee even the most basic duty rotation.

We must recruit troops as soon as possible to fill the vacancies.

Otherwise, when the pirates appear, there won't be many troops to mobilize.

However, the results were not ideal.

For three consecutive days, less than 100 recruits joined the branch, and the response from the people of Rogge Town was quite cold.

New Food Tavern.

Loya leaned against the bar, holding a glass of ale in his hand.

Lilixiang stood at the bar, wiping the dust on the wine bottles, and complained: "The nearby guests are frightened. They are even cautious when going out to drink. Of course they don't dare to join the navy."

"I see."

Luo Ya suddenly realized.

He only thought about improving his salary, but forgot about the most primitive fear of human beings when facing death. When he joined branch 153, it was a similar situation, and there were not many recruits at the same time.

As for the solution.

Go to other islands to recruit troops, or fight a few beautiful victories, which will naturally build up the people's confidence in the navy.

You can also force recruitment!

Loya had an idea in mind, drank all the wine in his hand, and was about to leave to visit an old lady.

Before leaving, he looked around the store.

"By the way, where is Zoro?"

"He went out the day before yesterday. That brat goes out for at least three days at a time. He doesn't know what he is doing outside."

Ririka couldn't help but complain.

Zoro is now 16 years old. In her eyes, he is like his younger brother. Although he is very strong, he is a complete novice in life. He even has to look for him for a long time every time he returns to the tavern.

"Yeah, I got it."

Loya nodded in understanding.

The kid is probably lost again.

It seems that a training ground must be built as soon as possible, specifically for Zoro's use, in case he cannot be found when he is needed.

Loya waved his hand.

"I go first."

"I'll wait for you to come back tonight!"

"knew."

The streets are much deserted than before, and the gangsters and gangsters who used to be everywhere have disappeared.

The underground forces in Rogge Town know very well that the newly appointed base director is a ruthless man who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. He has caused chaos in Rogge Town before.

Just when they were panicking and considering whether to move out of Rogge Town, an invitation was delivered to them.

"Eh? An invitation from the Navy?"

The new base director, Colonel Loya, invited them to visit the branch and emphasized that anyone who failed to give face would bear the consequences.

"Could it be."

The bosses of each force turned pale.

Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?
