Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

"Okay, she will agree, you can follow up on the rest!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Belle Mare...

Who is this?

Ian felt like his colonel had stuffed several balls of paste into his head today.

Forget it, I don't want to.

Don't worry about it. Just do as the colonel says!

------

We came to a three-story building.

The style is completely different from that of the pirate world, and it is more like the modern office building of his previous life.

[Navy Building (Level D)]

[Special effect: When processing administrative documents, focus +50%]

Just like AR augmented reality, when Luo Lan stared at the building, information appeared in his field of vision.

Yes, this building has special effects.

Luo Lan built two such buildings in total, and the reason for choosing this one as the branch building...

This is the special effect.

Whenever you are dealing with various administrative documents of the branch, your concentration will be enhanced and you will be less likely to make mistakes.

Although it is not of much use to Luo Lan, Luo Lan is not the only one working in this building!

As for the other building at the time, it gained a special effect that increased the analytical ability by 50% when processing intelligence documents.

There was no need to think about it at all, the building was directly allocated to the intelligence department for use.

I went to the third floor, opened the door and walked into a huge office.

Just like the exterior of the building, it is out of tune with this world, with a modern minimalist decor.

Especially the whole wall of floor-to-ceiling glass, which maximizes the visual effect.

Through the huge glass, half of the branch is directly within view.

It is simply a modern small office park.

Two three-story buildings, three two-story buildings, two warehouses, a factory building, two dormitory buildings, a large parade ground, and an officers' residential area consisting of several villas.

That's all there is on the ground.

Of course, this is not all about Branch 157, because...

In the basement of Branch 157, there are two special buildings given in the original novice gift pack.

S-class building, honeycomb-style underground comprehensive scientific research center.

as well as...

S-class building, 800-meter underwater prison.

As for personnel, there are currently 157 people in Branch 487, including Luo Lan himself.

In addition to the 150 Marines in the combat sequence, the rest include intelligence personnel, scientific researchers, logistics personnel, factory workers, etc.

It’s hard to imagine that a year ago there was only a two-story dilapidated building here.

Well, it looks like it will collapse at any moment.

and seven Marines.

All of this is hidden inside Rhodes Island.

In the center of the island is a large forest that occupies almost 2/3 of the entire island.

The former 157th branch was built outside this forest, just a few hundred meters from the coast, but now...

It was built on a flat area in the woods and could not be seen unless viewed from the sky.

As for the old branch building, it is still preserved.

After all, the navy comes to deliver supplies every three months...

Of course, in addition to the members of the 157th branch, there are nearly a hundred pirates on the island who are being held in the underwater prison.

These were all brought back by the Second Intelligence Department.

After each mission was completed, the pirates whose hands were stained with the blood of navy or civilians would naturally be sent directly to the Calm Belt to be fed to the sea kings and their bodies destroyed.

As for those who had not harmed civilians or the navy, Luo Lan spared their lives and sent them to an underwater prison to serve their sentences.

As for how long he will serve in prison?

Anyway...

It is impossible to release them before Branch 157 is exposed.

Luo Lan took out a huge bag.

After opening it, it turned out to be a rolled-up copybook.

As his right hand gently stroked it, a series of memories flashed through Luo Lan's mind.

"Old man, why did you change that calligraphy?"

Luo Lan, who was only ten years old, pointed at the calligraphy that had been put away on the table and asked loudly.

"Luo Lan, you are still young and don't understand many things!"

"Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't understand. Absolute justice? Ha, that's a joke. I think it should be absolute obedience!"

"enough!!"

Zhan Guo shouted.

The room suddenly fell silent.

What did the original calligraphy from the Warring States Period say?

It says: Justice reigns supreme.

What does it mean?

It means that justice is always at the highest position, that is, no matter who it is, not even the celestial dragons can be above justice.

When he was young, the Warring States period adhered to this philosophy.

However...

Now that he has become a marshal, he has seen and come into contact with more people and things.

Over time, his ideas changed.

Justice that rules the world is just an unrealistic ideal. If you continue to insist on such a view of justice, the world government can take you down at any time and replace you with an obedient person.

Who can guarantee that the person who replaces him is also just?

Maybe...

The entire navy will be completely transformed into a dark killing group that is completely controlled by the World Government.

By that time, let alone justice ruling the world, even the existence of justice will be questionable.

Therefore, the pursuit of justice in the Warring States Period gradually changed from justice that dominated the world to limited justice.

That is, while submitting to the world government, strive to maintain the last bit of justice.

In the world of pirates, absolute justice can also be understood as absolute obedience.

Obeying me means justice, even if there is blood on your hands!

If you oppose me, then you are a pirate and you are evil!

So, in order to preserve that limited justice, Zhan Guo took down the original copybook and replaced it with the one...

Absolute Justice

In a sense, isn't this also Warring States expressing its loyalty to the World Government?

"Since you have forgotten your original intention, then I will be the one to carry out this justice from now on!"

With his small body, he hugged the calligraphy piece in his arms and turned away.

Only Zhan Guo was left, sitting there in silence.

Thinking back on this, Luo Lan couldn't help but sigh.

After recovering his memory, he could understand Zhan Guo's actions.

After all, he is not the protagonist, he does not have a system, he does not have the foresight of a time traveler, and he does not have the strength to dominate an era.

It can be said that the Warring States period has done quite well within the scope of what it can do.

The reason why I haven't taken out this calligraphy copybook even though I came here for a year is because I know very well that I didn't have the ability to do it before.

But now, everything is different.

It's time to hang this calligraphy piece up again.

Soon, the huge calligraphy copy was fully unfolded on the wall that was originally empty.

There are seven big characters written on it...

【Justice reigns supreme】

Kokosia Village

"Noqi Gao, do you think this is true or false?"

"Bellmaire...did she really serve this organization?"

"If it is true, then what kind of organization is this?"

It had been a long time since she spoke to Luo Lan, but she was still hesitant.

"I can only think of one organization that Bell-Mel has served in, and that's... the Navy!"

After thinking for a while, Nojigo spoke.

When Nami heard this, she was stunned at first, but then quickly began to shake her head.

Impossible, how could it be the navy?

You know, this organization specializes in using pirates to plunder nobles. Is this something the navy would do?

However, what Nojigo said next made her...

"Nami, have you noticed that all the nobles who were robbed in the past year were the evil ones? And after each incident, the pirate groups that committed the robbery disappeared without exception."

"These seem like very bad incidents, but over the course of a year, the number of people harmed by these incidents..."

"It was only the nobles and pirates who were involved. No civilians were involved. Even the workers and slaves on the ship were only taken away in small numbers afterwards..."

"Instead of killing on the spot!"
