Pirate Warm Sea

Chapter 165 A Moment of Calm Before the Storm (Thanks for the reward from the thorn)
After a brief meeting, Robin disappeared into the naval base, just as quietly as when she came. It seemed that no one except Joel knew that the base suddenly lost a person.

After all, with her status, every extra day she stays here brings more danger. Joel believes that sister Wenyan will not betray him, and Meglin is not the kind of person with a big tongue.

However, although there are not many elite naval generals in this naval base, there are also many.As Joel is the focus of the entire base, many people will stare at him.

It’s okay to stay out of the room for a day or two, but if he doesn’t leave the room for five or six days, the medical staff probably brought a toolbox to blast his room door immediately.

Although very reluctant, Joel still took advantage of the night to send her away.The wind on the sea was still blowing, looking at the back of the sail away, Joel suddenly felt empty in his heart.

He has always had a habit of sleeping with something in his arms to fall asleep. The pillow he was holding before was still at the Navy Headquarters, so he didn't know where to find something to hold in the middle of the night.

It is easy to go from simplicity to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After I get used to hugging Robin, I don’t know if those rough pillows can still be hugged.Joel sniffed his hands, and the fragrance of the flowers still lingered on his hands, as if Robin was by his side at the moment.

"Going away?" Seeing Joel staring at the sea in a daze, Wen Yan walked to his side quietly in a plain skirt.

"Ah——" Joel was taken aback. When he turned his head and saw Wen Yan's beautiful face, he patted his heart and complained: "Sister Wen Yan, you want to scare me to death. Why is there no sound of footsteps like Meglin, my brother is very timid!"

The light veil on Wen Yan's body is constantly swaying with the sea breeze, and the beautiful face under the moonlight gives Joel the illusion of Chang'e descending to earth.

"If you're not a thief, how can you be guilty?" Wen Yan asked.

"Hey." After all, it was his fault before Joel couldn't refute anything, so he asked, "Sister, why don't you go to bed so late?"

"Can't sleep!" Wen Yan turned around and looked at the Red Earth Continent above. The top was brightly lit, as if it was very hot.

Joel followed Wen Yan's gaze and sighed, "Hey—it's been three days, and I don't know what these kings are talking about?"

"What's the matter with us, let's go back." Wen Yan's brocade shoes walked towards the base step by step.

"Sister, wait for me." Joel, who was staring at the Red Earth Continent in a daze, hurriedly chased after Wen Yan suddenly leaving, and walked side by side with her, saying, "Who said it has nothing to do with us."

"Oh?" Wen Yan looked at Joel, looked at the smile on his face, and asked, "Do you know what they were talking about?"

With his hands behind his back, Joel pondered for a while and said, "I can roughly guess a little..."

Wen Yan stopped and tilted his head to look at Joel, with curious eyes in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Tell me and listen, my sister will help you analyze and see if your guess makes sense."

Joel cleared his throat, rolled up his sleeves, and turned on the X mode, "I think the World Conference will discuss four points. First, it was determined very early. Now it's just a formality."

"It is the Qibuhai system under the king that has always been controversial."

"Qiwuhai?" Wen Yan asked with wide eyes, "Isn't this system established long ago?"

"Indeed, but the system established by the Five Elder Stars was not a problem at first, but now there are problems. This problem should be raised by His Majesty Cobra."

"Alabasta was almost usurped by the former king Shichibukai Crocodile. His Majesty Cobra will definitely raise it at the meeting. Other kings will also worry about similar issues, but it will definitely be passed in the end!"

Joel raised a finger and said.

Wen Yan asked, "Why did it pass in the end?"

Joel raised his second finger and said with a smile: "This brings us to the second point, which is the current problem of the navy. As the largest violent organization under the jurisdiction of the world government, the navy known as the army of justice is against the current pirates. The situation is helpless.”

"In fact, the strength of the existing navy alone is not enough to deal with the pirates of the whole world, so it is necessary to use pirates to check and balance the pirates, establish the Shichibukai system to counter the Four Emperors Group in the new world, and at the same time suppress them in the first half of the great route. Newcomer."

"Although there are conspirators like Crocodile, there is no shortage of people like the tyrant Ookuma who are dedicated to working for the world government in the Qiwuhai. In addition, there are also chivalrous pirates like Kaikai Jinbe. Those who want to arrest these people will A huge part of the Navy's energy is wasted."

"Besides, didn't the newly-promoted Qiwuhai Blackbeard just make a great contribution to the Navy?"

"It's just that in the future, we may carefully screen the candidates, and those who make up for their numbers like Moonlight Moria are likely to be kicked out of this team."

Wen Yan nodded, not to mention whether the Four Emperors can be restrained, but in terms of the most practical effect at present, the most direct benefit of withdrawing the rewards for the seven big pirates is that the military forces previously deployed on them have been liberated, and they can be used instead. Go catch the pirates that are easier to catch.

These seven people are indeed not good at anything, except of course Moonlight Moria.

"The most important part of the second point is the redistribution of power. Under the leadership of the former Marshal Steel Gu Kong and the current Marshal Warring States, the navy gradually began to get rid of the restraint of the world government, and started from a purely executive agency to have its own ideas."

"This is the last thing the five old stars want to see. What they want is an organization that can only execute orders, not subordinates who can raise objections. They will control the navy again before the navy is completely out of their control. Good. Therefore, during the meeting, the Five Old Stars will definitely propose to the kings of the Warring States that it is not appropriate to serve as a marshal anymore, and to appoint a new marshal."

Wen Yan covered her mouth. If Admiral Sengoku really steps down, then the next Admiral of the Navy will be... Admiral Akainu Sakaski!
Dai Mei frowned slightly, Wen Yan didn't like this admiral with a tough style, bloodthirsty, and absolute justice, even though he was his younger brother's recommender.

"Of course Marshal Warring States is not stupid. Of course he can see the small calculations of Wu Laoxing. He just arranged the supernova showdown in Chambord at will, just to tell these kings to give him and the navy more confidence."

"And the kings of various countries will not fully follow the advice of the Five Old Stars, nor will they fully trust the Marshal of the Warring States Period, the results they need. So just wait, there will be a big war in the near future, and the target should be the current situation in the New World Tough Whitebeard."

Wen Yan looked at Joel's soft and beautiful face, his silly brother seemed to have some unique insights!

"Is there anything else?" Wen Yan asked.

Seeing that the base was right in front of him and he was about to enter the door, Joel immediately grabbed it with his left hand and cast his eyes on the sea with a guilty conscience.Then his left hand quickly grabbed Wen Yan's little hand, and pulled her towards the beach.

Seeing Joel's dodging gaze, Wen Yan shook her head, is she guilty of holding my hand now?Years, let many originally beautiful things go away.

Oh yes!Seeing that Wen Yan didn't resist, Joel was as happy as a child in his heart, jumping and jumping. Speaking of which, since Wen Yan was 16 years old and understood human affairs, he hasn't been wandering outside alone holding her hand.

The two turned back to Hui Beach from the gate of the base. Wen Yan was a little embarrassed seeing Joel's sudden silence, and asked, "What about the back?"

"Ah, ah——" Joel finally came to his senses from the joy, gathered his thoughts and continued: "Compared to us, the latter two have little to do with us at present, but they may have something to do with your hometown, sister."

"My... hometown?" Wen Yan was puzzled, what could it have to do with my hometown?
"The Tianlong people don't seem to have enough money to spend!" Joel took Wen Yan's tender little hand and wandered aimlessly.

Wen Yan tasted Joel's words, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "You mean...gold in the sky?"

In return for the World Government, each country that joins the World Government has to pay a large amount of expensive heavenly gold every year as the World Government's expenses, but this money is first sent to the Tianlong people of Mariejoa and then divided. The leftovers are given to the world government, and the world government distributes them to other institutions.

Most of it was used by Tianlong people for eating, drinking and having fun, but the rest can still maintain the normal operation of the world government and its subordinate agencies. One can imagine the huge amount of money.

But such a sum of heavenly gold, which is so huge that it can be called an astronomical figure, is still not satisfied for the Tianlongren, who are the nobles of the world.

Wen Yan looked worried, and asked: "You mean that this year the Tianlong people will ask for more heavenly gold?"

Joel shrugged, that's what he meant.

"They..." Wen Yan bit his lip, "Are they so greedy?"

Xisarili is constantly squeezing the people every year in order to collect such a large amount of heavenly gold. She is aware of this, and some corrupt officials in the country are greedy. It became three pieces.

One part belongs to the Tianlong people, one part belongs to the royal family, half goes to those corrupt officials, and half goes to those who are in power in the imperial court... the elders.

When he was young, he often saw her father standing under the peach blossom tree at home every day, sighing alone.Even with the ambition to clarify Yuyu, that country is rotten from top to bottom, so rotten that there is no cure!

"Will the kings agree?" Wen Yan really didn't want this resolution to pass.

"Even if the kings are reluctant to do so, this resolution will definitely be passed in the end, because this is a world where pirates are rampant. Once they lose the protection of the navy, those countries will soon become a paradise for pirates. It’s not just the money that’s lost!” Joel knew all the tricks of the World Government, if any country dared to break away from the Alliance of the World Government, wouldn’t the Qiwuhai raised earlier be useless?

"Then what about the fourth point, isn't it all right?" Wen Yan asked with the tulle wrapped tightly around her body.

Joel put his eyes on the sea, took off his cloak and put it on Wen Yan, "The fourth one may be good news, or it may be worse news."

"What?" What kind of answer is this, Wen Yan asked confusedly, she didn't quite understand what Joel meant.

"Do you know the Revolutionary Army?" Joel raised his eyebrows with an ambiguous expression on his face.

"What!" Wen Yan thought he heard it wrong, the Revolutionary Army?For the world government, it is a more difficult organization than pirates.

The pirates will not attack the organs of the world government with nothing to do, or plan to overthrow the regime of a country, but the revolutionary army will overthrow the world government regardless of life and death even if they can't even eat enough.

"Could the fourth point you mentioned be the Revolutionary Army?" Wen Yan didn't know much about the Revolutionary Army, and it seemed that this organization was still far away from her.

"Yes!" Joel nodded, "Four years ago, this issue might not have been enough to be put on the table of the World Conference, but it is different now, these guys hiding in the dark are fully capable of challenging the World Government .”

"In fact they did!"

Wen Yan seemed to remember something, and asked, "Are you referring to the Judicial Island incident?" It was no secret that Joel was attacked by the revolutionary army on Judicial Island in the elite training camp.

"Do you know why the revolutionary army ran to attack Judicial Island, which was heavily guarded, when they were full and had nothing to do?" Joel asked.

Wen Yan thought about it, and she also felt strange, why did the revolutionary army attack the heavily guarded Judicial Island when they were full and had nothing to do? Was it simply a demonstration to the World Government?

Seeing no one around, Joel stuck to Wen Yan's ear and whispered, "What if I tell you that Qiu Dun is not dead?"

"Qiu..." Wen Yan's black pupils dilated immediately, and he asked, "Really?"

"The most direct purpose of their attack on Judicial Island was to rescue Chiutun, and then use his status as the first heir of Turin to let him return to Erebor to lead the remaining remnants to continue the war against Baraduno. With the help of the Revolutionary Army to regain Erebor, what will you do?" Joel carefully recalled that there were such calculations in Drago's willingness to agree.

It's a pity that he still can't figure out that he has an empty island, and Qiu Dun should be living happily on it now.

"However, this is also a good thing. Whether it is for Qiu Dun, the revolutionary army, or for us, it is an acceptable situation." Wen Yan's mood improved a lot when he heard the news that Qiu Dun was still alive.

"Do you think Chiutun has the ability to lead those remnants of defeated generals to defeat the overwhelming Baradurno army?" Joel shook his head. He couldn't understand his own brother, it was absolutely impossible, and he could only die if he went back.

"And it may not be easy for the Revolutionary Army to win this war. Maybe the whole family will be shaken out."

"That Qiu Dun..." Wen Yan worried.

"Well, such an important revolutionary army will not let him die easily on the battlefield."

Maybe, listening to Joel's comfort Wen Yan nodded, and the two just walked aimlessly on the beach hand in hand.On a balcony of the base, a girl in a white skirt was hugging herself and staring intently at the man and woman on the coast.

　This chapter is a bit boring, mainly explaining the topics of the World Conference through the conversation between Joel and Wen Yan.

　　At the same time, I will also explain some of the situation in Wen Yan's hometown.

　　It is a chapter connecting the past and the future.
