From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

After Fan Long left, Eko Arias said curiously, "These nobles and officials of the kingdom have changed their nature."

Colonel Neil Taylor laughed and said, "What are you thinking? They must have their own calculations."

"But these have nothing to do with us. We won't suffer any loss anyway. On the contrary, it can make the 173rd Marine Branch stronger."

"Ah."

Eko Arias nodded.

Then, Neil Taylor said, "You will be in charge of the recruitment this time. I have reported it to the Navy Headquarters, and the headquarters has agreed."

Eko Arias was a little reluctant, but he didn't refuse. "How many people do you need to recruit this time?"

Neil Taylor thought for a moment and said, "We will recruit 500 people in total. We will recruit 100 people this time to test the waters."

Eko Arias was very surprised and asked, "Why are you recruiting so many people this time?"

"Alas! It's all because of the pirates. There are more and more pirates, so the navy has to expand."

Neil Taylor sighed.

After that, the conference room fell into a long silence.

......

Two days later, more than thirty insect people successfully infiltrated the 173rd Navy Branch and became a glorious errand soldier.

As long as you complete a period of training, you can be successfully promoted to private third class.

On the second day of training, the instructor discovered that the quality of this group of soldiers was far superior to before, and he quickly reported the good news.

Neil Taylor was working on today's affairs at his desk. When he heard a knock on the door, he said without even looking up, "Come in."

Squeak!

Instructor Aji pushed the door open and shouted happily, "Colonel, where did you recruit these soldiers from?"

Seeing his reckless behavior, Neil Taylor's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he still patiently asked, "What happened to them?"

"This batch of soldiers has very good physical qualities, and about one-third of them have very high potential."

Instructor Aji danced with joy.

"Oh."

There was a gleam in Neil Taylor's eyes.

"They were recruited from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. They may be soldiers who retired from the regular army."

Instructor Aji said anxiously: "Then let's take this opportunity to recruit more. What if they are all recruited?"

Neil Taylor hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Well, go find Echo Arias and ask him to recruit another 400 men."

As soon as he finished speaking, Instructor Aji rushed out of the office in a hurry without closing the door.

Neil Taylor's forehead was full of black lines, "This guy..."

With the assistance of Instructor Aji, 200 insect people successfully infiltrated the navy team.

Xia Jieren and Colonel Neil Taylor were both so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

Win-win!

After arranging the affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Xia Jieren had free time again.

Now, apart from daily exercise, he just wanders around.

......

With the reopening of the port of Eastbourne, news about the Kingdom of the Netherlands began to spread.

After learning that a coup had once again broken out in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the arms dealers in the underground world expressed regret.

"It's fine that you didn't catch up with the refugee rebellion last time, but you didn't even receive any news in advance this time. What are you doing with useless people like you?"

A mafia boss was cursing at his subordinates, who all lowered their heads, trembling in fear, not daring to refute him at all.

On a hidden island, a group of people in white clothes and with all kinds of strange looks are dealing with piles of documents.

At this time, a fat middle-aged man was sitting on a chair, drinking coffee leisurely. He always kept a smiling expression on his fat face, and the brown goatee under his nose was upright.

This person is the head of CP5's West Sea branch - Panda Hara, and he doesn't look like a good person.

A subordinate approached him and reported: "Commander Hara, the branch of the Netherlands Kingdom has not sent back any information for two weeks. It is presumed to have been destroyed."

Slip!

Panda Hara continued to sip his coffee and waved for him to continue his report.

"According to the intelligence collected during this period, the head of the Netherlands branch was purged because he was too close to the nobles. We have initially ruled out the possibility that their identities were exposed."

Panda Hara put down the cup in his hand with a mocking look on his face, "I didn't expect that the new queen of the Netherlands Kingdom is quite capable. She actually openly attacked the nobles in the country. Is she so confident?"

"But by doing this, she would have offended the nobles of other countries on the sea."

"I just don't know how long the Kingdom of the Netherlands can hold on."

As he spoke, he picked up the coffee cup again and sipped it elegantly.

As if he had thought of something, he stopped what he was doing and looked up at the subordinate, "By the way, is there any news about the person with special abilities who appeared beside Queen Netherlands Lit? I think his name is Xia Jieren, right?"

The subordinate said ashamedly: "No, according to the news released by the Dutch royal family, that was the person Queen Litte rescued on the deserted island when she was fleeing. He happened to have nowhere to go, so in order to repay Queen Litte for saving his life, he used his own power to help her take back the country."

"Oh."

Panda Hara nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.

He went on to say, "Go check in the Flower Kingdom again. If there is still no news, just give up."

The subordinate said in embarrassment: "This... is against the rules."

Panda Hara said disdainfully: "He is just a Devil Fruit user. Such people are numerous in the Grand Line, and they are rare only in a small place like the Four Seas."

The subordinate looked at his superior with admiration, thinking: "He is indeed worthy of being a person from the Grand Line."

After his subordinates left, Panda Hara didn't even look at the information on the table.

In his view, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was just a larger ant.

If it wasn't CP5's job, how could he collect information about the Kingdom of the Netherlands?

After all, for the World Government, these member states are just tools to stabilize the world, and they can be destroyed at will if it wants.

At the same time that CP5 received the news about the Kingdom of the Netherlands, other forces in the West Sea also received almost the same news.

Except for a few countries or mafias near the Kingdom of the Netherlands, other forces such as the five major mafia families in the West Sea, the powerful Flower Kingdom in the West Sea, etc. do not care much.

Their powerful strength is their greatest guarantee. They really don't take a rookie devil fruit user seriously.

There are countless geniuses on the sea, and only those who survive the fierce competition can be valued by others.

As for Xia Jieren, if possible, he didn't want to be taken seriously by others.

But if you live in the world, you will inevitably get hurt.

Xia Jieren can only go with the flow in this chaotic era until the day he becomes strong enough to overturn the tide of the times.
