The pirates who were still alive on the island at this moment were all frightened out of their courage.

Not to mention resisting, I didn't even dare to run away.

Each one of them was like a puppet, allowing the sailors to push them to the ground and put them in shackles.

finally...

After more than an hour of searching, all remaining pirates have been captured.

To this end, Li Yan arranged for a destroyer and two frigates to form a small fleet, responsible for escorting these pirates back to the Eighteenth Branch and sending them to the undersea prison.

In addition, a small fleet of the same size and accompanying Karina were left here to clean the battlefield and handle these pirate ships and finances.

As for himself, he continued to set off with four escort fleets to the Upside Down Mountain Fortress.

------

Just after the battle on Wuming Island ended.

Corona Island, East China Sea Branch 18.

Soejima, Karare Donghai Branch.

Kaku was confused at this moment. As the second most powerful secret agent in CP9, how could he not see the many anomalies in the East China Sea Navy?

The exaggerated speed of technological development, the extremely unreasonable speed of naval training, and Li Yan's inexplicable source of shipbuilding materials, etc.

Everything is so abnormal.

But why has it been several months since I came here, but I haven’t reported to the superiors once?

Speaking of which, it seems that I have wanted to spread the news countless times, but every time I clearly wanted to do so, I quickly forgot about it.

today...

Whatever you say, spread the word!

Kaku made up his mind and took a leave of absence from Barry directly because of his physical discomfort. He planned to spread the news through a special phone bug after returning to the dormitory.

The process went very smoothly. For Kaku, a capable and hard-working foreman, Barry did not have any difficulties and directly asked him to go back and rest.

While walking on the road, Kaku kept reminding himself that he must never forget it again.

But...

When he returned to his dormitory...

It's strange, why did I lie to Barry that I wasn't feeling well?

It seems like you remember something and want to come back?

However, I can’t remember at all what it was about!

You're messing around, you'd better get back to work quickly, without me, the people below are unreliable!

With this in mind, Kaku, who had just returned to his residence, quickly left again and walked towards the shipyard.

"What the hell!"

As soon as he walked into the shipyard, Kaku remembered that he had taken leave and was going back to deliver the news, and he reminded himself repeatedly along the way not to forget...

Similar situations have happened countless times in the past few months.

This guy even asked for leave and wanted to return to the Capital of Seven Waters.

Barry also approved it at that time, but when he was about to leave, he had no idea why he wanted to take this leave.

So I ran back to Barry to cancel my vacation and continue working.

No matter how much Kaku wanted to spread the news, he never did.

And this is the biggest reason why Li Yan is assured that Kaku will work here.

Do you really think that the system's confidentiality level is set in vain? As long as you belong to the 18th branch, it would be too much to leak the secrets.

Therefore, Baku can only continue to be a qualified Carrera Company foreman!

After all, Kaku's shipbuilding technology is pretty good...

at the same time.

mariegeio, among the powers that be.

There was quite a dispute between the five old stars.

The reason for the dispute lies in the latest plan submitted by the Warring States Period.

That's right, it's the one Li Yan submitted...

Adventurer's Guild Plan.

However, before the Warring States Period submitted it to Wulaoxing, a comprehensive feasibility analysis of the plan was made and this analysis report was submitted together.

In the Sengoku analysis report, Doflamingo and Crocodile were directly used as examples to illustrate the shortcomings of the Shichibukai, and it was suggested that the Adventurer's Guild be used to replace the Shichibukai system.

After all, although the Shichibukai played some role in balancing power, it had a bad reputation.

In particular, in order to implement this system, they were also given legal rights to plunder.

This has also made Marie Joa's reputation deteriorate a lot over the years.

But the Adventurer's Guild is different. It absorbs pirates who go to sea just for treasure hunting or adventure and have not committed any killings, and gives them a new identity, adventurers!

Moreover, through the guild platform, various tasks can be issued to them. Not only Marie Joa or the Navy, but even civilians can also issue tasks within the guild.

Just give the corresponding reward when posting the task.

In this way, the Adventurers' Guild can have an image that is completely opposite to that of pirates.

So much so that it eventually completely replaced the role of the Shichibukai.

The most important thing is that the existence of the Adventurer's Guild will tell everyone that going to sea...

You don’t have to be a pirate, there are other paths you can choose!

No matter how you look at it, this is a heavy blow to the pirates, but when this plan and the analysis report of Sengoku were passed to the hands of the Five Old Stars, it directly triggered a fierce quarrel among the pirates.

"I think this plan is okay. Not only can it severely damage the pirates, but it can also get rid of the cancer of the Shichibukai!"

"That's right, when we established the Shichibukai, it was a last resort. But once this Adventurer's Guild is established, it can completely replace the Shichibukai and play a role in balancing the two major forces!"

"You take it too much for granted. Won't you forget why we labeled all adventurers as pirates back then?"

"That was then, and now is now. Different periods, different choices, different consequences. How can we generalize?"

"Then what would we do if the situation happened again?"

"That's not easy, just give them the pirate label again. If we can do this once, we can do it a second time!"

"No, I still feel it's wrong!"

The blond Five Old Star shook his head, still objecting.

In this world of pirates, there used to be adventurers, and the career of adventurers was quite popular. There were a large number of adventure groups, just like pirates now, all over the sea.

As mentioned in the original work, Brando, the big talker, was once a very famous adventurer.

What are some of adventurers’ favorite things to do?

Reveal and treasure hunt!

Treasure hunting is okay, but revealing this kind of behavior is not very friendly to Marie Joa.

After all, what they fear most is that someone will unravel the secret of the year.

Finally, an adventure group, like O'Hara, reached out to the secret hidden by Marie Joa.

As for the result, it was naturally suppressed by Marie Joa, and even the profession of adventurer was wiped out.

Regardless of whether they are safe or not, all adventurers are labeled as pirates.

This...

This is the reason why the original pirate era was born.
