Pirates: The Salary Is In Place, The Four Emperors Are Kicked Out

On the "Grand Line", there are four kinds of islands: spring, summer, autumn and winter, and each island has its own four seasons, so there are 16 seasons in total. Summer is the hottest on Summer Island; winter is the coldest on Winter Island; spring on Spring Island is the most vibrant; and autumn on Autumn Island is the most colorful.

"Red Line" is actually the product of the connection of these four seasons islands, regardless of latitude and longitude. Every time you visit an island, the seasons will change.

For example, the small island called "Zalan" where Polusalino's "Moyu" is now docked is obviously within the shelter of Naval Headquarters, and it is only half a day's voyage from the headquarters (standard 3). Waiting for the normal cruising speed of the warship), but it is the complete opposite of Marineford in winter. It is a summer island that is so hot that even if you wear short sleeves, you will sweat constantly.

For Polusalino's voyage this time, Zephyr Admiral gave him a time limit of four months. In these 4 months, he needs to patrol 16 islands sheltered by Naval Headquarters, and then catch pirates with a total bounty of more than 300 million Baileys.

Sakazuki also set sail for 4 months, but both the number of islands to be inspected and the amount of money required to catch pirates are much less than Polsalino...

Combined with the expression Zephyr looked at him before the two of them set sail, Polsalino has every reason to think that Zephyr is deliberately making things difficult to retaliate against him - not that he used the Finger Pistol Thousand Years of Death enhanced by Armament Haki on you before. Well, as for such a vengeance?

(Mr. Zephyr, Mr. Zephyr, Morgans of the World Economic News Agency must be very happy that I provided him with this news material...)

(Shocked! Men will be silent when they watch it, and women will cry when they watch it! The world government's top combat power, Marine Admiral Black Arm Zephyr has encountered such a thing!)

While arranging his teacher with the spiritual victory method in his mind, Polsalino led his subordinates to Zaran Town in the interior of Zaran Island. In order to ensure the suddenness and reliability of the inspection, Polusalino did not choose to dock the "Moyu" directly at the port of Zalan Town, but docked it in a natural harbor on the island, and then secretly login.

In addition to 30 ordinary sailors, there was also Gion, the adopted sister Gion entrusted to him by the Crane Vice Admiral before (Fina Rear Admiral was on standby aboard the "Fish"). The Marine Admiral candidate who will be named "Momousagi" in the future, Qianqi Yujie, is indeed just a 15-year-old girl who is not very mature at this time, just as Crane Vice Admiral said. However, although she is still very young now, in terms of appearance and strength, she already has the style of the future "Momousagi Vice Admiral".

"Colonel Polsalino, can we really find pirates on this island?"

Gion, who was following behind Polsalino, couldn't hold back his doubts, and asked curiously, "Zaran Island is so close to Naval Headquarters, no matter what, no pirates would dare to come here, right?"

Polsalino, who was wearing a Colonel Marine-style cloak, led the way in front of him according to the map, and replied, "I'll ask you a question, Captain Gion, have you ever thought about why someone chooses to go out to sea to become a pirate?"

"Well...I didn't think about it."

Gion tilted her head cutely.

"I'd be surprised if you thought about it,"

Porusalino smiled and said, "In the pirate group, I personally think that there are about 50% of those who take the initiative to be pirates and those who are forced to be pirates? You should be forced to be a pirate in the future. There will be a chance to meet you, so I will not talk about it for now, I will only talk to you about those who took the initiative to choose to be pirates."

"Um."

Gion nodded.

"Captain Gion, you have been living in South Blue before, and you have also experienced in South Blue. You should also feel that the folk customs there are simple, and the pirates are not too popular. Even if there is an occasional bounty that barely exceeds 10 million The Pirate Rising Star has emerged, and will soon be pushed down by the Marine branch of South Blue - right?"

"...That's right."

Polusalino continued: "But this is not the case in the other three seas, especially the North Blue, where the people are sturdy, and the West Blue, where the mafia is raging. There are many fierce pirates in these two seas, and they also There are some chaotic small countries that have not yet joined the World government. Even if we invested a lot of manpower and material resources, Marine could not completely control the situation... The pirates here even take pride in opposing Marine, and have developed to The wanted order formulated by the World government and issued by our Marine did not act to deter them at all, but instead became a source of capital for them to compete with each other.” Gu Rui

"Pirates with high bounties can easily recruit younger brothers and respond to every call. They don't even need to do anything when robbing merchant ships. Just their name can make those merchants tremble and dare not resist; while pirates with low bounty not only don't have these privileges. Instead, they will be exploited by more powerful pirates and resisted by civilians. Therefore, in order to increase the amount of their bounty, these pirates will do all kinds of things that seem unimaginable to us.”

"This is actually in line with their psychology. After all, many of them choose to go out to sea to be pirates for the pursuit of excitement. The stimulation of unearned rewards, the stimulation of bullying others, the stimulation of trampling on the rules... and so on." Pleasure "is what they're after."

"Although Zaran Island is the closest one to Naval Headquarters among the islands sheltered by our Marine, the headquarters actually has no soldiers stationed here. Because just like what you said, Captain Gion, everyone thinks that the sea is normal. Thieves have no guts to come here."

"But from another perspective, this island is the most suitable stage for the pirates who are not normal, but outlaws. Once they make trouble here, we Marine It will definitely increase their bounty, and their reputation will be greatly improved. And although this place is very close to Naval Headquarters, the headquarters will definitely not dispatch a large number of troops for a few small shrimp pirates, at most it will send a patrol. The pirates, who are more agile than our Marine, have plenty of time to escape before the patrol boat arrives.”

"That's the truth..."

Gion nodded, "But this kind of pirates shouldn't take up a large proportion, right?"

"It's true that the proportion is very small, but the total number of pirates cannot be held up,"

Porusalino shrugged, "Believe it or not, if it's in a chaotic town. Even if Sengoku Admiral or Teacher Zephyr goes there to catch pirates, there will still be guys who are not afraid of death shooting at them, trying to Become famous."

"...This shouldn't be the case, right? Even ordinary pirates should know that Admirals can't be provoked..."

Gion had some doubts about Polsalino's statement.

"Well, you'll find out later."

Polsalino smiled without explaining much.

People's cognition is often limited by their own vision, and most of the pirates in this world, the most senior Marine officers they have encountered in their lives are likely to be no more than the branch colonel - what if they only have such a vision? Can you understand the power of Marine Admiral? Not to mention the fact that they were aware of the strength gap between the two sides and did not dare or give up.

The best example is in the original plot, in the Sabaody Archipelago 30 years later, a group of small-eyed pirates will even shoot Kizaru, who is Admiral, with a cold shot in order to become famous... Well, although the end is very bad. It's miserable...

...

Just as Polsalino took Captain Gion and 30 sailors to Zalan Town, in the Zalan Bar in Zalan Town, as he said, there was really a group of stupid pirates. Under the urging of alcohol, in order to make a name for himself, he is preparing to do things here.

"Wait for me~ hiccup! Killed all the inhabitants of this island! I am the famous sea pirate! Hiccup~"

A tall man held a huge wine glass in his hand and smiled recklessly, "And you are, hiccup~ I am a big pirate, my most loyal subordinate!"

"Long live Captain Baldi! Long live the Forward Pirates!"

"Oh!! Captain Baldi the Great Pirate! Great Pirate! Great Pirate!"
