Anime Heroine Who Travels Through the Blackened Way

With a long sigh, Koushiro, who was standing at the door, turned his head to look at Zoro, and his tone became serious: "Zuolong, you are my most proud disciple, and I also believe that you will be able to fulfill your wish to become this one. The great swordsman in the world. So, before that, you must understand what exactly you want to protect, is it the so-called undefeated, or this demon sword, Xia Lan, or maybe it is you who originally wanted to become a great swordsman. Swordsman's true heart?"

After leaving these words, Koushiro left the training ground, and Zoro, who was left behind, was full of entanglement and helplessness. Looking at the only word of Hedao left in his hand, the green algae-headed swordsman was also distressed. Sitting down cross-legged: "Oh, that's why I said... These words are really difficult to understand, there is no way... Try to strengthen the single-handedly style moves."

There is no doubt that if the river of destiny changes its flow, the land and roads it infiltrates will inevitably undergo different changes.

The Enterprise docked proudly in front of a pier of a medium-sized town near the sea. Its huge hull undoubtedly gave the village a huge sense of pressure, and what was even more striking was the wind blowing at the top of its mast. That flag is different from ordinary naval flags. The pattern of this flag is a cross pattern composed of five solid circles of the same size, and it represents the ruling class of this world at present—— world government.

Undoubtedly, there is only one kind of person who has the courage to fly this kind of banner, and that is the personal soldiers directly belonging to the ruling class. So, although I don't know what's going on, the navy branch in charge of this area is still extremely careful and professional to wait in line in front of the pier.

"Thank you for your hard work. This is a department directly under the World Government, the 'Special Investigation Department of the East China Sea'. I'm Deputy Minister Arrita. It's a pleasure to meet you, Colonel."

Wearing a white women's suit jacket and windbreaker, Al Rita standing in front of the pier is undoubtedly heroic. Her high appearance and high intelligence make her self-proclaimed flawless. In fact, she did not lie at all, because that sounded Some of the departmental names that are confusing are the names clearly written in black and white on the appointment letter issued by the World Government to the Enterprise. Behind her are the original pirates who were also repackaged in suits and trench coats. Of course, they should not be called pirates now, but employees of the departments directly under the World Government.

It can be seen that Spandam has made some restraints. For example, the name restricts this department to only be valid within the East China Sea, but he ignores that for those grassroots departments in the East China Sea, this kind of influence on the sea area is very important. Targeted sectors are undoubtedly more deterrent. Therefore, this led to the sweat of the navy colonel of the Dragon Settlement Branch. As the officers of the branch, they usually do a lot of corruption and bribes. Now suddenly a special East China Sea exploration ship directly under the World Government has appeared. This is enough. Make them feel that horror.

In fact, not to mention that they are directly under the World Government, even the survey ships directly under the Navy Headquarters have already made them feel on pins and needles. Therefore, it is not surprising that this branch colonel is sweating profusely.

"Hi...you...you are here, it's my honor...I don't know, what can we do for you?"

Maintaining a salute attitude, the tone of the colonel of this branch stuttered. He still knew the identity of the Arrita Pirates, but he also knew that the Naval Branch had the habit of absorbing indigenous characters to expand its military strength. Therefore, it is not surprising that this beautiful female pirate is taken in and absorbed by the big man above. After all, only the indigenous people will know better what their generals usually behave like.

"Relax, Colonel, you are lucky. Our mission this time is not to investigate the atmosphere of the grassroots. However, if the main task cannot be successfully completed, I am afraid that we will have to make some other achievements before going back. For example, the grassroots officials corruption, right?"

With a chuckle, she raised her hand and patted the colonel's shoulder. Arrita's eyes were also filled with a kind of joking pleasure, she really enjoyed the current feeling of using power over others, which was even her own. The picture she had imagined in her mind for a long time, but even in the past, the most she thought about was to let more pirates put her under her command and bow down to her. navy, it feels like doubly happy.

"Ah...is that so? Then...do you have anything to do with us?"

The cold sweat on his forehead was like pouring down. This big-bellied branch colonel is obviously the type with a ghost in his heart, and he retracted his palm with a little disgust. Arrita is too lazy to be an idiot like this pig. He talked a lot, but said simply: "The purpose of our trip is to recruit blacksmiths who may provide pirates with weapons, and navigators who may provide pirates with navigational knowledge, if your jurisdiction has such a We will recruit and take away the rest of the personnel except those reserved for the army. This is the content of the mission, Colonel, you know what to do, we will wait here for three hours.”

Turning straight around, Arrita also returned to her own boat. She obviously grasped the arrogance of the superior, and the branch colonel who was about to collapse behind him raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his chin, and then Immediately turned around and started giving orders loudly, apparently to gather all the blacksmiths and navigators in his jurisdiction.

And walking all the way to the deck, Arrita couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the original pirates who accompanied her were the same, especially when they saw those navy branches in a hurry, these pirates laughed. more enjoyable.

The corners of Nami's lips curled up on the side reclining chair. She didn't intend to disturb the good mood of her subordinates. After all, she was in a really good mood. Just like the suits and windbreakers that come standard with the spy department, she was in a good mood at the moment. It is a black women's suit with a black cape, which is a clear match with Al Rita's white suit.

The appointment letter given by Spandam arrived almost two days later, and it even generously marked the reminder that department personnel could be appointed freely. The official seal on the appointment letter is also not bad. Therefore, naturally, the Enterprise has directly become the ship currently used by this special department. After spending a sum of money to repackage the upper and lower personnel, the so-called 'East China Sea Special Exploration Department' will Ink appears.

"Nami, it's done, those idiots will soon send over the blacksmiths and navigators in the territory!"

In a good mood, Al Rita approached Nami with a particularly cheerful tone. She shook her head slightly, and Nami's eyes also glanced at the other pirates in front of her. Obviously, she was doing some silent correction. .

"Ah! Minister! The assignment to the naval branch here has been completed!"

After a jolt, Yallita obviously remembered the current legal status of herself and others, and then quickly stood up and raised her hands to salute, and after her demonstration, the members behind her who had just turned regular also followed suit. A hand salute, which made Nami nod slightly.

"Very good. After receiving the blacksmiths and navigators here, we will go to the next town."

"All in all, let the private weapons and private charts that may bring instability completely disappear from this sea area."

(PS1: Hmm~~ monopolizing private navigation charts and private weapons~~ We are also contributing to the peace and stability of the East China Sea~~)

(PS2: The feeling of fox fake tiger power is really good~~ um~~)

There is no doubt that the two occupations of blacksmith and navigator are not high in the population, and even tend to be rare.

However, these two occupations are undoubtedly extremely important to the current era of great navigation. Let’s not talk about the latter, let’s talk about blacksmiths, daily kitchen knives and nails, etc., which have formed a market specialized in production and sales, so the current private blacksmiths are more likely to forge weapons or repair offal in some places. , or as a worker for some arms sales shops. The folks of this era did not list swords or other weapons as prohibited items, so almost all towns of a certain size had weapons shops. Or in many cases, the owner of the weapon shop is actually a part-time job of a private blacksmith.

For example, in the weapon shop where Nami purchased the three generations of Onikiru and Yukino, the boss also repairs weapons part-time, and Dusqi often visits that shop to maintain her Xiaoye Shiyu.

However, without these people, it would not pose any threat to ordinary people. And Nami did instruct the official blacksmiths to stay. In short, except for those who worked directly in the Navy, the rest of the private blacksmiths would not be able to bribe the admirals to give them to themselves. An official title, otherwise it will be in Nami's recruitment this time.

As for the navigators, they are even rarer. Except for the navigators employed by the navy itself and the fleets of the noble class, other civilians with navigator skills are rare, and even the formation of such people is quite difficult. Although the store also sells books related to nautical knowledge and charts, if you want to be self-taught and properly deal with the wind and waves on the sea, it must be possible for those who have a certain talent.

And if it is a merchant ship and a passenger ship that simply takes a fixed course, the effect of the navigator is infinitely reduced. After all, the familiar route is almost useless except for the special weather. To the navigator's place, you only need to step by step toward the compass. That's it. Therefore, ordinary navigators with navigation skills, if they do not include squatting at home, basically have only a few ways to choose.

The first is to try to find out if there are any private fleets that need navigators, but most of these fleets will be engaged in some activities such as smuggling or smuggling, and only these ships that do not follow the usual route need the help of navigators. Naturally, the safety factor of such a fleet will not be too high.

The second is to rely on their own sailing skills to go to job agencies in big cities to apply for a job, but this requires extremely high professional knowledge, and the application interface is often a vessel of a noble or a chamber of commerce, and the failure rate can be imagined.

Third, it is naturally the most unusual and most common way in the world of One Piece, that is, to follow a pirate ship and become a pirate galloping on the sea from now on.

That is to say, as long as Nami doesn't move those navigators who have been recruited by nobles or chambers of commerce, she basically has no problem in recruiting other ordinary navigators who have not yet applied for the job, and the excuse of 'to prevent them from becoming pirates' , and even more deterrent after being polished by the World Government's signboard, no matter who it is, no one has the courage to directly confront this excuse.

Recruiting all idle blacksmiths and navigators without affecting people's livelihood, so as to achieve a certain monopoly on swords and sailing abilities in the East China Sea. This is what Nami wants to do now.

And this is exactly the social loophole she found after her investigation of the world so far. Originally, if she expected to do this kind of thing, she had to have a government background, and being a wanted criminal was basically a no-brainer.

"Well~ it looks like the recruitment of manpower is almost done."

The huge hull of the Enterprise makes it easy for it to carry these newly recruited blacksmiths and navigators. After about a month of cruising, the Enterprise has swept away most of the blacksmiths and navigators in the middle and lower towns of the East China Sea. Because she didn't want to cause disputes, Nami also deliberately avoided those large towns with nobles or the headquarters of the navy, and the reasons were quite flexible. For example, the education and security measures in large towns were quite complete, and it would not be easy for pirates to enter. , so its internal blacksmiths and navigators do not need to be recruited for the time being.

It's not that the navy has investigated this government-headquartered ship with a strange origin, but the results of the investigation undoubtedly surprised them, because this department actually exists, and except for the name of the department, the rest of the information is quite vague. This sense of mystery makes many navies instinctively feel fear. Departments that do exist and whose information is ambiguous are easily reminiscent of those who specialize in black work for the government. It is certain that these people are the first They are absolutely trusted by the government, and secondly, their power is often astonishingly large. If they hit the muzzle of a gun, they will definitely make people die.

Therefore, even a few towns where the headquarters of the navy is stationed silently chose to turn a blind eye to the cruising of this ship in the East China Sea. After all, the less they know about these secrets, the safer they are, and the government is not completely clean. Yes, it is enough for everyone to know these things in their hearts.

And, in all fairness, apart from recruiting ordinary folk blacksmiths and navigators, this department did not do anything else that was intolerable. Even a few naval branches tried to offer bribes and were severely rejected, and they did not commandeer the resources of the navy along the way. These behaviors also convinced the vast majority of the navy that this was indeed an investigation vessel from the government. The higher-level report was not done either. After all, the government's affairs were not handled by the naval department.

Therefore, Nami's recruitment has gone smoothly. So far, she has 151 blacksmiths and 74 navigators on board. This is basically the place where all the middle and lower-level towns in the vast sea area of ​​the East China Sea are located. The number of people who can contribute has been reached, and the consequences have undoubtedly been revealed. It became difficult for Zoro's Yixin Dojo to replenish knives because several nearby private blacksmiths had already been carried on board by Nami.

As for the craft of blacksmithing, it is obviously not something that can be learned in more than ten years. It takes at least several decades to make qualified knives. Therefore, some urban weapon shops that have not been recruited have also taken the opportunity to increase the price of their weapons. Anyway, only ordinary civilians or pirates can buy weapons from the weapon shops. The navy and nobles do not need to visit them, so There's no need to care about this at all.

"Yes, Minister, we can proceed with your plan."

Alrita, who was standing on one side, was also in high spirits. As a pillow, she naturally enjoyed the privilege of learning about the plan from Nami, so at this moment, she had a sense of confidence that seemed to be in control of the future. And the surrounding members who were perfectly transferred were also triumphantly driving the recruited blacksmiths and navigators to the deck, scolding them to stand in line.

Seeing that the people on the deck below had gathered, Nami also clapped her hands, motioning others around to be quiet, and after making sure that the trembling blacksmiths and navigators below had raised their heads, she nodded with satisfaction, and then continued Then he said: "First of all, I welcome you on behalf of the government. The purpose of letting you come here is not only to prevent you from being harassed by those pirates. It is also to make you better serve the government."

The clear and precise words in the tone lightened the uneasiness below a little. It seemed that the other party did not intend to gather them together and shoot them publicly, so there was room for negotiation about what to do.

"Blacksmiths, you will be fortunate to have access to the secrets about the new alloys recently researched by the government. Mr. Yagoro will be the master technician who will lead you to process the new alloys. As long as you can do your best, then I promise that the government will give you more than before. Huge profits, and higher status. Your family also has the opportunity to become a higher-level person with your efforts. "

Looking at the blacksmiths below with a smile, Nami's words were also quite clear and powerful, and the blacksmiths, who were still a little scared, couldn't help looking at each other under these words. Obviously, the reason for the recruitment they guessed before seems to be identifiable. For example, the government wants to research a new type of alloy in the East China Sea, so it needs to gather all the blacksmiths in the East China Sea to complete something. This kind of thing can be understood and understood. Accepted.

And Yagoro, who stands at the forefront of the blacksmith, undoubtedly feels complicated: he is very aware of the true face of this group of pirates, but it is also a fact that the other party has obtained the status of the world government's pro-approval, and he has indeed obtained the dream here. His breakthrough and growth, and now he still has the opportunity to become the leader of so many blacksmiths. For him, this is undoubtedly the most successful and unparalleled life in his life.

"As for the navigators, don't worry. First of all, I want to affirm you on behalf of the government. After all, it is a skill and talent to be proud of if you want to become a qualified navigator in the complex data and knowledge. However, it is precisely In this way, it is too easy for you to become the target of pirates. It is not only the government's regret that you were abandoned before, but also the pain of the government. Therefore, now I am sent by the government to organize and retrain you. The purpose is to make You become the best navigators, and then we take the lead and help you get jobs in the best sectors."

A gust of sea breeze blew suddenly, blowing the flag of the World Government on the mast of the Enterprise, and the black windbreaker behind Nami also fluttered, just like her words, with a sonorous texture.

"Of course! In return, you must first sign a contract with our department when you are employed, and you will hand over 15% of your personal income to be used as training funds for you by our department. And the other..."

"You guys, absolutely don't allow pirates' boats!"

(PS1: Ah~~ the second update is over~~ I still owe 38 updates~~)

(PS2: That’s right~ Since they are all apprentices of capitalism, they naturally have to master the skill of monopoly~!)
