King Snake General of Pirates

Matthew has a delicate mind and an extremely high IQ. He can see through the behavior of ordinary people at a glance. However, for people who have never been in contact with or even met once, no matter how smart he is, he cannot guess what Valentine is hiding in his heart. I have a little abacus on my head, so naturally I don’t know the twists and turns inside.

And Hal has a lot of contact with Valentine, so he can more or less guess something.

"In the entire 53 branch, I am the only one who often goes out to patrol the sea. From time to time, I can bring back one or two captured pirate groups. It is only a matter of time before Valentine will promote me. After all, to put it harshly, there is no way for horses to eat grass. The boss who keeps letting the horse run away, Valentine is not such a fool.”

"It's just that I didn't expect the promotion to come so quickly. I thought I would at least help him catch three or four more pirate groups. Ha, it seems that someone has made him suffer enough. He has done nothing to the Kingdom of Androser and the The noble ministers inside seem to be a little more disgusted."

Matthew: "What are you going to do next? Continue to train with pirates?"

The only people in the entire Androsa Kingdom who knew that Hal had eaten the Devil Fruit were Matthew and Freebat. After the three of them discussed it, Matthew and Freebat watched Hal eat it.

According to the two of them, Hal, who often faces pirates, needs the power brought by the Devil Fruit more than they fight with gangs and criminals.

Hal shook his head: "I can feel that after each transformation, the difficulty of the next transformation will increase. At least in a short period of time, I will not be able to complete the third transformation."

Matthew didn't say much about this. He didn't know much about Devil Fruits as well as Hal, so naturally he couldn't give any useful advice.

His eyes fell on Hal's transfer document: "You gave up your job just after being promoted. Aren't you afraid that the blood in Valentin's body will flow back, and he will find an excuse to lock you up for ten and a half months due to his madness?"

"Then he is really crazy." Hal was amused. "As long as he performs casually, he will feel that he can control me at will. Alas, the longer I stay with them, the more I feel that I am more suitable for performing, rather than fighting and killing. kill."

"Valentin regards himself as the noblest person in Branch 53, and perhaps all the people in the Androser Kingdom. He is even nobler than the real noble ministers and kings. How can such an arrogant person like him I would be willing to stay here and be a small branch colonel."

"There is only one way for him to leave here, and that is to accumulate military merit. After submitting the application, he was transferred to the Navy Headquarters. The only one Valentin can rely on is me. Those lieutenant colonels and majors are all cats pretending to be tigers. Let him They pretend that they can perform better than anyone else, but when it comes to their enthusiasm for catching pirates, they are not good enough.”

The Navy Headquarters is located on the Grand Line, which is too far away from the branch. There is a windless belt or a red earth continent in between. In addition, the number of pirates has increased sharply since the Great Pirate Age. The headquarters has no time to deal with the pirates on the Grand Line, so it has no control over the branch. The ability is getting smaller and smaller, until now, the supreme commander of the branch is already a Turkish emperor-like existence.

Under such circumstances, the Navy Headquarters often transferred manpower from the branches, which resulted in the branches gaining the authority to recruit troops independently. This move even led to the emergence of a group of losers who obtained positions through backdoor connections in various branches around the world.

Naturally, there are many such officers in the 53rd branch.

Hal was playing with the still hot tea cup in his hand. He thought it was impossible but smiled expectantly: "I think a colonel like Valentine can't go to such a big naval base in person. That would be too ugly. "

Matthew thought about what Hal said for a moment and felt that Colonel Valentine was really a self-respecting and ambitious person who was unwilling to be mediocre. However, the biggest weakness of such a person was that he had a high self-esteem and was very easy to deal with.

But the Navy is not their enemy. None of the three Hals will take action against anyone in the Navy unless absolutely necessary.

Hal has been in Branch 53 for so many years, and at least so far, he has never felt that any navy has done anything to harm civilians. Then the navy is the army of justice.

"According to what you say, Valentine will continue to show kindness to you?"

"Let him go. Valentine wants to use me to enter the Navy Headquarters. I am also using him to continue my promotion. If he is really willing to help me so much, I might help him when I become a lieutenant colonel one day. A handful."

The most indispensable thing in the great pirate era is pirates. If Hal is willing, catching some pirate groups will not be a problem.

It's just that now, desperately improving their positions in the navy is not the main purpose of Hal and Matthew.

Then the two ended the topic.

Hal suddenly remembered the middle-aged man he saw when he came to the tavern, and changed the topic: "The man you threw out looks like he caused you a lot of trouble."

Matthew has a lot of people under his control after controlling a part of the gang. Although it takes a lot of energy to manage hundreds of people, there are not many situations that can make him lose his temper. The situation just now was the first time Hal had seen it.

"It's just a small trouble. He will achieve a result that satisfies me."

After Matthew said this, Unexpectedly, before Hal could speak, Freebat, who had been eating silently, suddenly lost his temper.

Freebat jumped over and punched the tea table between Hal and Matthew. The tea table exploded, the teapot tipped over, and the tea spilled all over them.

"A little trouble, huh, that bastard cost us at least 5000 million beli and killed several brothers. If Matthew hadn't kept asking me to gag him with food, I would have torn him apart."

It seemed that Freebat was really angry.

Ever since this incident happened, Freebat had been thinking about how much food 5000 million beli could buy, and it just disappeared.

Hal's clothes were soaked and his body became exuding the fragrance of tea. He punched Freebat on the arm. Knowing that the punch would not hurt him, Hal laughed angrily: "When will you change your bad temper?" Change, didn’t you see there are two more people here?”

Next to him, Matthew, who was also splashed with water, wiped a handful of tea leaves on his face, then spat out a few more leaves, and a few of the tea leaves that had just been splashed with the water got into his mouth.

"Flibat!"

Just as Matthew was about to have a seizure, Freebat, who suddenly became smarter, disappeared without a trace, making Matthew feel angry and funny.

"5000 million berries is not a small amount. Can I help?"

Hal, Matthew and Freebat have different identities and can do different things.

As a navy, Hal obviously cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Androser, but if pirates are involved, everything is within the jurisdiction of the navy.

Matthew and Freebat are part of the gangs here. As long as they don't provoke the navy, they can do anything secretly.

"We're not sure yet. We need to wait until we catch the traitor who colluded with the other party and leaked my underground transportation route and transportation time to know who did it and where the goods went."

After the incident happened, Matthew sent out a lot of informants, but unfortunately they couldn't spread all over the Androser Kingdom. Moreover, the opponent's methods were very clever and no trace was exposed. He thought that this should be caused by the traitor giving the opponent too much information. of.

This was the first time he encountered such a thing.

"Although I have a suspect, there is no evidence. The other party is also a small gang. According to the information I collected not long ago through the spy I spread, the one who has been providing support behind them seems to be a pirate group that often stops nearby. ."

Matthew glanced at Hal.

The Kingdom of Androser is huge, and Navy Branch 53 is too small compared to it. Therefore, if someone docks somewhere and sneaks onto the island secretly, the Navy will not be able to detect their traces.
