One thing Li Yan didn't know was that the firearms and warship modifications that Taotu had purchased from him had all been paid for out of his own pocket.

Although Taotu was a little rich woman before, not only is she not rich now, she also owes He a foreign debt of 300 million beli.

Therefore, the matter of deducting wages directly hit her breaking point and made her angry.

However, it was not Li Yan who acted as his outlet, but the tea dolphin who had been carried to the door of the ward by Luo.

In short, when Luo finally carried him away a few minutes later, it was said that this guy had broken a few more bones. It was really...

"Gion, I haven't seen you for a while, why are you so violent?"

"Isn't it because of you?"

Hearing this, Taotu, who had just calmed down a bit, glared at Li Yan.

If it weren't for you, the most I could do would be to kick the tea dolphin away as usual. Do you really deserve to be beaten so hard?

And if you hadn't tricked me before and made me spend so much money to buy the Corona 18 and modified warships, would I be in debt?

So now you're saying you're going to deduct my salary?

Won’t your conscience hurt?

"Stop talking nonsense, I am now a member of the 18th Branch. Get me an armored ship first, and then equip my marines with any good stuff!"

"Otherwise I'll beat you up too!"

Seeing the inexplicable expression on Li Yan's face, Taotu said directly and viciously.

But okay, they are all his own anyway. Even if she doesn't say anything, Li Yan will change his clothes for him. It's not a big deal.

only...

Seeing such a violent Taotu, Li Yan felt a little panicked for some reason.

"By the way, the marshal just came to you just to add to this guy's plan?"

"No, because of the relationship with the revolutionary army, the Marshal sent Aoki Pheasant to the South China Sea, so he wanted to transfer some combat forces from me to the New World to assist General Sakaski and sit in the G1 branch for a period of time."

"Has the candidate been decided?"

"Well, I have promised the marshal to let Yixiao take a fleet there, and at the same time let Luffy and the others also go and experience it."

"Lieutenant General Yixiao, that's enough!"

Nodding, Taotu said.

After all, she often comes to Branch 18, has been in contact with Yixiao more often, and has seen Yixiao take action several times.

This is a solid general-level combat power, and even Taotu has a feeling that Yixiao is a little stronger than Aoki Pheasant.

If you add a fleet from the East China Sea, even if it is just a small fleet, it will definitely be more stable than Aoki Pheasant.

Although I feel sorry for Aokiji for thinking this way, this is how Taotu feels.

"What about me, what is my next task?"

"Follow me to an empty island. This is why I don't go to the new world myself, but let Yixiao go."

"Sky Island?"

Peach Rabbit was a little suspicious.

Although not many people know about Sky Island, most people even regard it as a legend.

However, how could a peach rabbit who hangs around the crane and is even comparable to his sister not know about Sky Island?

But, why would Li Yan go to Sky Island?

"Yes, today's Sky Island is being ruled by a guy who claims to be a god, and he is living in misery."

"So, let's go beat this guy up and put them out of their misery."

"How, isn't it great?"

On the side, after hearing Li Yan's words, Taotu's expression began to look strange.

She's not stupid!

Having known Li Yan for so long, Taotu knew very well that Li Yan had his own ambitions.

Of course, she also knew that Li Yan's ambition was not a bad thing.

Otherwise, he would not have known some of Li Yan's secrets and never told Warring States.

Therefore, when Li Yan said these words with dignity, Taotu didn't believe a single word.

"Tell me, why?"

"Why exactly? It's just like what I said!"

"Do you also want to break a few bones?"

"Stop...I said!"

Seeing Taotu preparing to take action, someone instantly became scared.

Why did this bitch become so violent?

Although it was quite violent before, the current violence index has definitely increased several times!

However, he is already his own, so it doesn't matter what he says.

For Li Yan, as long as anyone joins the 18th branch, it is equivalent to signing a contract of betrayal, and there will never be another chance to reveal his secrets.

Today’s Kaku of Carrera Donghai Branch is the best example.

"Okay, it's true that we will rescue the suffering people, but at the same time, we will also gain a territory for ourselves and use it as the branch's air base!"

"After all, in this world where the power of force is overwhelming, it would be very dangerous if the base is not set up in a hidden and difficult-to-reach place."

"Secondly, the development of the East China Sea requires a large amount of funds, and this capital demand is so huge that even the headquarters cannot support it. Therefore, I need the gold in Sandola!"

Peach Rabbit was a little confused.

There were too many things he didn't understand in these words.

air force...

what is this?

I know the navy and the army, but I just don’t know the air force!

Moreover, wasn’t Sandora, the land of gold, a figment of the great liar Rolando, and said it was on Gaya Island?

"Okay, get ready. We'll set off in three days. You'll know the details when we get there!"

Looking at the confused Taotu, Li Yan stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said.

------

The next day.

One cruiser, two destroyers, eight frigates, and 1,800 elite sailors formed a fleet.

In addition to being the commander-in-chief of this fleet, Li Yan also arranged for Luffy, Zoro, Bucky and Usopp to go together.

As for himself, he took Taotu and Ain and boarded an airship directly.

Just kidding, riding on the upwelling current, or walking up to tens of thousands of meters on the moon steps, is the stupidest thing, okay?

Wouldn’t it be nice to just take the airship up?

As for the branches, they were all handed over to Nokigao.

Li Yan wasn't worried about who would cause trouble. You know, he didn't bring Nokigao, Karina or Nami with him this time.

Do you want to know more about the three sisters of Xianglei?

There are also ten people selected from the branch some time ago, all formed by marines with at least A talent in Devil Fruit development. The natural special operations team is also growing rapidly.

Unless the Four Emperors directly press forward.

Otherwise, if other pirate groups come to cause trouble, the thirteen naturalists can directly teach them how to behave.

------

Following the operations of the navy, the airship began to rise slowly.

"This thing can actually fly?"

"How many secrets do you have?"

Looking out through the porthole, Taotu looked shocked.

Going back to the original world, except for the six-style moon step or some special devil fruits, there was no way to fly.

And this is the first time Taotu has seen this way of flying directly into the sky without relying on any abilities.

"What does this mean? You will be even more surprised when the Air Force is established!"
