From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

"Eh~, when did pirates develop such a strong organization and operational capabilities?"

"Looking at Lord Jerren's current posture, it should not be just three or two pirate groups united together."

Lit asked, confused.

"You hit the nail on the head." Xia Jieren praised, and then he said, "There should be an organizer behind them, but his identity is currently unknown."

"Who is it?" Litte frowned and thought, confused.

After thinking it over again and again, she could not find any reason to target anyone or any force in their Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Seeing Litte's frown, Xia Jieren said, "There are only a handful of forces in the West Sea that are capable of inciting so many pirates."

"Among them, the World Government is the most suspicious."

"World Government?" Litte exclaimed.

Then, she shook her head and said with some disbelief: "World Government, that's unlikely."

"Why would it suppress the Netherlands? We are also a member of the World Government after all."

"No! The World Government has every reason to do this."

"You know, a member state that is too powerful is not in the interests of the World Government."

Xia Jieren directly and ruthlessly shattered Litte's fantasy.

"This..." Litte was speechless for a moment.

Xia Jieren continued, "And this matter will only benefit the World Government, not harm it."

"If it succeeds, the World Government will not be affected in any way. At most, they will condemn it afterwards, increase the bounty and hunt for pirates, and win over the hearts of other member countries."

"If you fail, this matter has nothing to do with the World Government, because you can't find any relevant evidence. If you want to continue to pursue this matter, be prepared to be suppressed by the World Government even more vigorously."

"Moreover, this can also test the strength of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to a certain extent."

"The Netherlands' counter-espionage operations were very successful. I believe even the World Government would be very troubled."

"Even if the person behind the scenes is not the World Government, it must be the World Government that is fanning the flames."

Litte lowered her eyes and said nothing, obviously touched by Xia Jieren's words.

"Before we can distinguish between the enemy and ourselves, it is a very wise choice to assume the greatest malice towards others."

“Especially when you can’t afford to fail.”

Xia Jieren patiently and kindly advised.

"Okay, I understand." Litte nodded seriously and replied.

"Well, I'm glad you understand." Xia Jieren said with relief, and then he assured Litt: "Don't worry, I will make sure they never come back."

Seeing the confident smile on Xia Jieren's face, Litt's worries quickly disappeared. She smiled and said, "Well, I believe you, Master Jieren."

Litte's direct gaze made Xia Jieren feel a little embarrassed. He changed the subject and said, "I came here to tell you about this matter."

"At the same time, I will let the people of the Netherlands Newspaper Group cooperate with you to appease the people."

"Okay, I will appease the people and ensure that Lord Jieren does not have any worries." Litte agreed readily.

"Okay! That's what I came here to say. I still need to prepare some weapons to deal with these pirates. I'll be leaving first." After saying this, Xia Jieren planned to leave immediately.

"Lord Jieren, goodbye." Litte didn't try to keep him.

When he was almost at the door, Xia Jieren suddenly stopped and turned around, and asked mysteriously: "Lite, do you want to go to the front line with me to watch the war?"

Litte was stunned at first, and then a hint of intention flashed across her face.

She still hesitated and said, "I really want to go, but Steward Kiel and the ministers will definitely not let me go to a dangerous place."

"Don't worry! Leave it to me! I will convince them. If they are worried, they can go with me."

Xia Jieren took the responsibility.

"But..." Litte's face became more conflicted, not knowing whether she should agree or not.

At this time, Xia Jieren added fuel to the fire again: "Gate, you have seen it, right?"

"Yeah." Lit nodded, and then quickly understood what Xia Jieren wanted to say.

"Gate's ability can get us from East City to the capital in an instant."

"If the battle goes badly, we can retreat immediately. There is no need to worry about any danger."

Xia Jieren opened his mouth temptingly.

Litt had already seen the power of the Gatedoor Fruit and was very surprised by the convenience of his ability.

"It's not a good idea to admit defeat before the battle." Litte looked at Xia Jieren speechlessly.

"Haha~, that was all a joke." Xia Jieren covered it up with an awkward laugh.

Then, he patted his chest and assured, "We will definitely win this battle unless a navy admiral or someone stronger than him is dispatched."

"How could a strong man with the strength of a navy admiral target a small country like ours?" Litte shook her head and laughed.

Little did they know that these words would come true, and in the near future, the Kingdom of the Netherlands would really face off against the Admiral.

It's too early to talk about this matter now, so let's not talk about it for now.

Xia Jieren was not surprised to hear that Litte didn't believe it. He was just talking.

"How is it?" Xia Jieren asked again.

"I'll go!" Lit calmed down and replied decisively.

"Well, then let us witness with our own eyes the current strength of the Kingdom of the Netherlands."

"To be honest, I myself don't know how strong the Netherlands Kingdom is now."

Xia Jieren laughed.

"Okay." Lit nodded, her expression revealing anticipation.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll ask Gate to pick you up on the day of the war."

Xia Jieren waved his hand, turned and left the office.

"Okay." Litte agreed.

......

Nearly a quarter of the pirates in the West Sea gathered here. How could such a big commotion be hidden from anyone interested?

Naval Headquarters, Admiral's Office.

"Alas!" The Warring States general put down the intelligence in his hand and shook his head regretfully.

"Haha~, what's there to be unhappy about, Sengoku? Just say it out and it'll make me happy." Garp, who was sitting nearby and eating and drinking for free, suddenly said with a smirk.

"Garp, shut up!" Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo frowned and shouted angrily.

"Tell me about it! Maybe I can give you some advice." Karp asked again without any hesitation.

Zhan Guo thought for a moment, and thought that Garp could come up with some constructive suggestions from time to time, so he decided not to hide it anymore.

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands, do you still remember it?" asked Zhan Guo.

"Yeah! Of course I remember. The 'Hero Drunk' produced in their country is really..." Karp tried hard to recall in his mind and even licked the corner of his mouth.

"Uh~, I didn't mean to make you recall the taste of 'Hero Drunk'." Zhan Guo helplessly held his forehead.

After a moment, he said directly: "Right now, the situation in the Netherlands Kingdom is critical. More than 10,000 pirates are heading towards the Netherlands waters."

Hearing this, Vice Admiral Garp sat up straight, his face very serious, and said urgently: "What are you waiting for? Go and support them as soon as possible."
