Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

Mo Xingchen once again set foot on the holy land of Mary Joa. After all, as a subordinate, if he wanted to ask his leader to do something, he must say it in person. He couldn't put the cart before the horse and just make a phone call to arrange it for the leader.

This time, Mo Xingchen didn't prepare any special gifts. When you have a bad relationship with your boss, you must give gifts when you ask for help.

However, when the relationship is very good, you should not give gifts, otherwise it will seem distant and make the leader feel that you do not treat him as his own. It is no longer a younger brother asking for help to settle a matter, but instead becomes a transaction.

But you can't really give nothing, you have to make your leader willing to help you.

So what to do?

Let the results speak for themselves!

"Sir, this is the detailed plan and progress report on the sea train project that I made after traveling all over the world in the past two years."

There were five copies of the document in total, and Mo Xingchen handed them respectfully to the God of Finance.

The Five Elders were all concentrating on looking at the document in their hands, which made them pay attention to it.

This is only the second year of the Sea Train project. Needless to say, the first year would not have yielded any results due to the massive construction effort.

The first phase of the Nanhai project was completed in the first half of this year and the trial operation phase began.

Judging from Mo Xingchen's detailed report, by the end of the year, in just half a year, the total revenue will reach 200 billion Baileys (PS: Bailey is approximately equal to Japanese yen).

What a concept! The total project is divided into five phases, which means that when the sea train is fully rolled out, the annual revenue for the South China Sea alone will reach 2000 billion!

And there are the East China Sea, West China Sea, North China Sea, and the first and second half of the Great Route.

In a word, the more peaceful and prosperous the world is, the more money there will be in the future!

Do the Five Elders know how heavy the burden of Heavenly Gold is for the lower class people? They certainly know, but they are helpless.

Because the Celestial Dragons want to live a luxurious life, and the World Government also needs money, which arouses the civilians who cannot pay the Celestial Gold and choose to go out to sea as pirates.

So money has to be spent to build a navy to catch pirates, and naturally there will be a constant supply of gold.

This creates a vicious cycle.

You should know that the World Government has a total of 170 member countries, and each country will hand over 100 billion Baileys or items of equivalent value as Heavenly Gold every year.

That is to say, when the Sea Train project is completed, it will be as valuable as gold in the sky! And people will only praise the World Government and will not have any complaints.

After reading the report, the faces of several Five Elders were all flushed, and they were obviously very excited.

The God of Finance looked at Mo Xingchen with great satisfaction, laughed heartily and said:

"Xingchen! Good job! You've worked so hard."

Mo Xingchen showed a trace of tiredness and forced a smile, but this smile was a little bitter.

"It's all my responsibility. As long as the adults are satisfied, that's all."

At this time, the God of Finance also discovered that Mo Xingchen's condition was a little strange. He didn't seem as energetic as he had been the last few times they met, so he asked with concern:

"Xingchen, what's wrong with you? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Here it comes, advanced hunters often appear in the form of prey!

Mo Xingchen hesitated, opened his mouth, and finally said:

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

The Five Elders were not satisfied. When they heard the question from the God of Finance, the others looked up at Mo Xingchen with concern.

But seeing his behavior, it was obvious that he was hiding something!

The God of Law and Martial Arts said with a serious face and pretended to be angry:

"Xingchen, if you have any difficulties, just speak up boldly. Is there anything in this world that we can't solve?"

Mo Xingchen quickly stood up with a look of panic on his face, bowed deeply to the Five Elders, and said affectionately:

"My Lords, Xingchen dares you to let Ace go."

The Five Elders looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. They were not angry at Mo Xingchen's request. The God of Finance said:

"Xingchen, there's no need to be like this. Sit down and tell me slowly. Why did you suddenly ask for mercy for Roger's son?"

"Ah~"

Mo Xingchen sighed heavily, sat back on the sofa, and said softly with a hint of sadness on his face:

“I wonder if you adults still remember that many years ago, I once asked you for a favor.

My good-for-nothing nephew is Ace. As the adults know, when I first joined the Navy, I was young and wild, so I liked to travel around.

So they found Ace in the cradle and thought he was a poor abandoned baby. They didn't think much about it and kindly adopted him.

My Lord, I really didn't expect that he was Roger's son. I didn't want to cause trouble to you, after all, Ace's identity is too special.

But... we are not plants or trees, so how can we be heartless? "

The most irritable God of Law was about to curse, "Stupid!", but when he saw the bracelet in his hand, he was speechless.

Several of the Five Elders looked at the tea pets, chessboard, and the documents that had just been delivered on the table.

Then he looked at Mo Xingchen's messy hair, a few black ink stains on his white sleeves, and a thin layer of dust on his shiny leather shoes. He looked like he was worried about being punished for doing something wrong.

They sighed in unison, and at the same time felt a little guilty.

The God of Finance said helplessly:

“Xingchen, we actually never took this little guy Ace seriously, even though he’s Roger’s son.

If you had informed me in advance, I would have let him go.

The most important thing now is that the news has already been spread. If the orders are changed every day, what will happen to the prestige of the World Government? "

Hey, that's what I want you to say!

Mo Xingchen pretended to think about it, then said tentatively:

"Sir, how about this? We use Ace to lure Whitebeard here, and then destroy the Whitebeard Pirates in one fell swoop.

In the second half of the Grand Line, the four pirates are now fighting fiercely, but their strength is similar. They have been fighting for almost two years, and there is no winner.

If one of them were missing at this time, then perhaps their fight would be accelerated.

By then, the navy will be able to pacify the entire Grand Route, and the Sea Train project can be implemented in the second half!"

After hearing Mo Xingchen's plan, the Five Elders were also very excited. After all, Ace's identity was special. Compared with the entire Whitebeard Pirates, the latter was obviously more important.

By then the situation will be so chaotic that even if a petty thief runs away, at least the world government will have both face and money saved.

It also speeds up the pacification process in the second half of the Grand Line, and we get money too!

After the Five Elders looked at each other, the God of Law smiled and said:

"Xingchen, are you sure?"

Mo Xingchen stood up directly this time, his face serious, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Don't worry, sir! Xingchen will definitely complete the mission to the death and will never let the dignity of the World Government be damaged in the slightest!"

When several of the Five Elders saw Mo Xingchen like this, they also laughed and joked:

"This is the Admiral Tianshu we are familiar with!"

Mo Xingchen clenched his right fist tightly, with a look of gratitude, and smashed it hard on his heart, doing a standard straddle.

"Thank you for your kindness, everyone. I'll give you my heart!!!"

The Five Elders had never seen such a scene before. When they heard Mo Xingchen's oath, they laughed so hard that they could hardly close their mouths.

"Hahahaha~ Okay, okay, just go and do your thing!"
