Arkham in the pirate world

During lunch time, in the hotel's auditorium, officials from world governments sat at a long table and tasted local delicacies.

Sitting at the top is the real person in charge of this investigation team, the special investigator of the World Government, Migor Puri.

Liszt, as the host, sat on the other side of the long table, opposite Migor Puri.

There is no doubt that officials who can take up positions in the World Government must be of noble origin, and their title must be at least Viscount or higher. As for those who are from civilian backgrounds, they can at most play small roles such as clerks, which is extremely difficult to obtain. Official position.

Therefore, everyone at the dinner table maintained the etiquette and demeanor expected of a noble. Even the mustachioed official who had had a conflict with Liszt before sat upright, holding a knife and fork, with a decent expression.

Everyone was just eating lunch, no one spoke, and even the sound of cutting steaks with knives and forks was very faint.

Liszt glanced over, verifying the faces of these officials and the intelligence brought by the mist one by one, and kept their personal information in mind.

"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger of a hundred battles."

Liszt's emphasis on intelligence was rewarded. He knew the basic information of the officials present, and even who was in their family.

Of course, as a Celestial Dragon, Charma Kesheng cannot appear at such a dinner table. As a Celestial Dragon, even though he is an experienced "diplomat", he still has the arrogance of a Celestial Dragon in his heart. .

The Celestial Dragons who claimed to be descendants of "gods", after leaving the holy land of Mariejoia, were unwilling to breathe air with ordinary people, so they wore a transparent hood on their heads to filter the air.

So, how could Saint Charmaine attend such a lunch, take off his hood, and eat and drink with these officials who, even if they are nobles from various countries, are still inferior people in their eyes?

If Charmaco is not here, Migor Puri is the most worthy of Liszt's attention here.

The highest decision-making level of the World Government is undoubtedly the Five Old Stars who were born in the Celestial Dragons. However, the World Government is more than just the Five Old Stars. It is a huge organization with many internal institutions. The well-known Navy and IR are all affiliated with the World Government. A department under it.

However, because of the special nature of the navy, the navy occupies an important position in the world government.

In the world government, second only to the navy is the ir intelligence agency.

In addition, there are institutions such as the Judiciary, Impel Prison, World Government Secretariat, and World Economic Development Department.

Although these institutions are not well-known, they are the backbone of the world government. It is the work of these institutions that allows the world government to operate smoothly.

Migor Puri is an inspector from the World Economic Development Department.

After the inspection team arrived in the East China Sea, Lister obtained a number of pieces of information, including some information about this department.

The Department of World Economic Development is in charge of monitoring and supervising the economic development of countries around the world. Its essence is to ensure that the "heavenly gold" of the world government and Tianlong people can be turned over on time and in full, and to crack down on and punish some economic crimes. .

Within the department, there is a director, two deputies, and seven supervisors, who are responsible for supervising the economic development of the East China Sea, West China Sea, Nanhai, Beihai, Paradise Section, New World, and the headquarters respectively.

It sounds powerful, but in fact, this department is not very eye-catching in the world government, because its powers and responsibilities conflict with the tax department, making the entire department useless. Naturally, those who work in this department belong to that department. Officials with some ambitions will not join this department. Instead, some guys who rely on connections to work in the World Government like this position very much.

Therefore, since the development of Arkham Group, it has not had any dealings with the economic inspector who was supposed to appear in Donghai.

Migor Puri is a little different. This person is the headquarters inspector. In terms of power and responsibilities, he is the head of the seven inspectors. And he himself is not that kind of person. He was originally a tax officer in the tax department of the world government. official.

In the World Government, the power of a tax officer is comparable to that of a lieutenant general in the Navy Headquarters, and his status is far higher than that of an inspector in the Economic Development Department. However, Migor Puri was transferred from a tax officer to Becoming a supervisor is undoubtedly a career-ending experience.

The reason for this is that he was implicated by Don Quixote Doflamingo.

How is it involved?

In the 4th year of the Mercury Calendar, the Don Quixote family went from the North Sea to the New World to develop and started the "Dressrosa Movement". In the same year, Doflamingo began to attack ships loaded with "Heavenly Gold" and threatened Mary. The nobles of Gioia's world want to tell the truth about Marie Gioia's national treasure, and thus gain the position of Shichibukai.

At that time, Migor Puri was in charge of the batch of "heavenly gold" that Doflamingo attacked. Although Migor Puri was actually only responsible for collecting taxes and calculating how much tax the franchised countries under his jurisdiction should pay that year. However, since the world government has given the tax officer "rights", he naturally has the "obligation" to ensure the safety of "Heavenly Gold".

Therefore, Migorpuri was sitting at home, and a big black pot came from the sky and fell on him.

After that time, in order to quell the anger of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, the naval headquarters general responsible for the escort was transferred to the Beihai Branch. The person in charge of ir was sent to justice and tried, while Migor Puri was dismissed from the sky. The tax officer turned into a headquarters inspector sitting idle drinking tea in Qingshui Yamen.

How did Migor Puri transform from an inspector of the idle department to a special investigator representing the world government investigation team?

Because this guy, when he was serving as the supervisor of the headquarters, accidentally read a copy of Donghai Economic Development News. After the discussion on "labor economy" in it, he became very interested, and then published an article in World Economic News. An article presenting your own views on the relationship between labor and the economy.

With the development of the Arkham Group, the business and economic effects have become more prominent, and the business atmosphere in the East China Sea has increased. They draw ideas from some novel ideas occasionally published in the East China Sea Economic Development News, and a group of outstanding economists have emerged.

Migor Puri's article was reprinted by the Donghai Branch of the World Economic News Service, attracting the attention of Donghai economists.

Economics is a new discipline that emerged with the rise of the East China Sea and the Arkham Group. The first choice for these economists to publish articles and opinions is naturally the newspapers under the Shadow Newspaper. This gives the Shadow Newspaper, Its own characteristics, relying on these articles about how to make money, allowed Shadow Newspaper to carve out a large area of ​​​​the newspaper territory of the World Economic News Agency, and it was able to rapidly expand to the world.

The Shadow Newspaper Industry was approaching fiercely, and Morgans was naturally worried, which prompted the World Economic News Agency to introduce some changes, such as speeding up the delivery of newspapers, placing more emphasis on the timeliness of news, and opening new sections to attract new readers, etc. wait.

Such competition leads to changes that reflect to the world faster information dissemination speed.

Although the World Economic News has a profound foundation and is still the world's largest newspaper, the World Economic News has always been unable to compete with Shadow Newspapers in the economic section. This makes the word "economic" that the World Economic News carries does not live up to its name.

At this time, Migor Puri's article gave Morgans, the boss of World Economic News Agency, some hope.

Morgans sent someone to invite Migor Puri and opened a column for him to publish articles specifically to counter the economic section of Shadow Newspapers.

Because Migor Puri has worked in the tax department of the world government and in the economic development department, his practical experience is undoubtedly rich, and he has enough experience to be exposed to new economic ideas, which makes Migor Puri The flood of literary thoughts really allowed him to tinker with something. On some economic academic issues, he had a back-and-forth with the scholars in the Donghai Economic News.

As the saying goes, opportunities come to those who are prepared. Migor Puri has been swimming in the academic ocean for two years, and finally waited for an opportunity. That was when Lister asked Crowe to negotiate with the world government, and the world government was formed. group, considering Migor Puri’s knowledge of the East China Sea, he was included in the list of the negotiating team.

Migor Puri, who got this opportunity, naturally did not miss it. He played a key role in the entire negotiation. It was precisely because he produced a large amount of data based on his financial and tax research on the Arkham Group that the world The government is to blame for the huge tax bill.

With this credit, Migor Puri re-entered the sights of the Five Old Stars, and coupled with his ability demonstrated during the negotiation process, Migor Puri was mentioned as the special investigator of the investigation team.

After years of dormancy, Migor Puri is proud of his comeback. At the same time, he also cherishes this opportunity. Only by winning this "battle" can Migor Puri completely escape the past. If he loses, he will have to go back to the old days of eating and waiting to die. This is not what he wants.

While Liszt was examining the members of the inspection team, Migor Puri seemed to be enjoying the food, and he was also looking at Liszt from the corner of his eye, this young man with both power and strength.

When Migor Puri was working in the World Government, the only young man who could cause headaches and arguments among the five old stars was Liszt. Of course, if you don’t mention the word "young", like the former Pirate King Roger, who is now the fourth The emperor, as well as some generals in the navy, all made Wulaoxing feel embarrassed.

However, you must know that those guys who make things difficult for the Five Old Stars are all over fifty and have already half-footed their way into the coffin. They have experienced the baptism of time before they gained their current status and power.

Then, just like the rising sun, Liszt, who is less than thirty years old, shines on the sea, and he stands out.

Just like Liszt, who has detailed information about the inspection team, Migor Puri also has detailed information about Liszt, down to Liszt's origins, what year and period he did, and what he did.

This is the intelligence capability of the IR agency. As long as they pay enough attention to you, they can even dig up ten generations of your ancestors. Don't be surprised. In this world with the special power of "Devil Fruit", no matter what kind of situation occurs, it will not be enough. No surprise.

Finally, in this depressing atmosphere, nearly an hour passed. As Migor Puri wiped his mouth, the other officials put down their knives and forks.

“What a hearty and delicious meal,” praised Miguel Puri.

"I didn't expect to be able to taste such authentic Vera cuisine in the East China Sea. The Earl of Arkham really knows me well. He actually knew that I was born in Vera."

Liszt smiled and said, "Vera is a wealthy country in the Grand Line. However, it seems to be unsettled recently. Many people took to the streets to demonstrate, protest against high taxes, and even clashed with the king's army."

Four hundred years ago, Vera was just a prosperous town in the Paradise section of the Grand Line. Later, the nobles in the town were brave enough to forge ahead and opened up some small islands in the outer sea as territories and established the Kingdom of Vera.

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Vera became the target of the revolutionary army.

"Yes, damn it, I heard that those revolutionary troops are causing chaos in my country."

When Migor Puri said this, his tone became fierce and he said loudly, "No, those damn villains who should be sent to hell are not only destroying my country, but also destroying the order of this world. Threatening the safety of all nobles in the world."

"Do you know what slogan they put forward? Hell, they actually want to abolish the aristocracy and slavery and establish a fair society for everyone. I think they must be cheating."

The world government officials in the restaurant burst into laughter.

Regarding the issue of dealing with the revolutionary army, the nobles sitting here are basically "comrades" on the same front.

"The so-called fairness is the greatest unfairness, Mr. Miguel. Their purpose will not succeed." At this time, Liszt would naturally stand on Miguel Puri's side and say something nice.

"Yes, this is the most comforting thing I heard today. I think Mr. Arkham, who is also a noble, will definitely stand with us to deal with the villains of the Revolutionary Army." Migo said Puri.

Liszt smiled and said, "Of course not."

Migor Puri immediately said "We come with the sincerity of the world government, regarding the Kingdom of Arkham"

Liszt, who was interrupted, smiled, and in turn interrupted Migor Puri, saying, "I don't think this is the place to talk. Please forgive me, the Arkham Group, I don't have the final say alone. I have A conference room has been prepared where we can discuss this issue.”

Migor Puri frowned slightly, but immediately said, "No problem, but we have very little time, and I hope it can be done as soon as possible."

"Of course, it's just that after a meal, you have to rest and digest. In addition, I got news that three pirates broke in here. I don't know if you have caught them. If not, please don't wander around, so as not to show up. What a surprise," Liszt said.

"Pirates"

"How could pirates break in here so easily?"

The officials discussed, expressing their dissatisfaction and showing concern.

"This matter is our responsibility, but in order to protect you sirs, our people cannot come in. However, I believe that pirates from the weakest sea in the world will not cause too much trouble."

Migor Puri frowned and looked at the smiling Liszt, unable to guess what he was thinking.

The three pirates who broke in by mistake were an accident or a deliberate arrangement?
