NOVEL NEXT Chapter 68 Marine Scum
"What's in front?"
Zoro picked up the map.
In the Boeing Islands, Zoro did not see the two criminals who came out of Impel Down and may have been eaten.
But I couldn't leave empty-handed, so I turned around and went to another place.
The place is nice and stands out.
This is where Brook held his concert.
Brook, an old guy who has lived for more than eighty years, is really an old pirate.
It was more than ten years before Roger went to sea.
What good things could be gained by pirates who went to sea in that era?
The pirates who went to sea after Roger's death could still go out to sea under the guise of finding a big secret treasure.
But before that, he was really a pure pirate.
What else are you calling the Music Pirates? Bah!
Die to Laozi!
Zoro will not show mercy to this guy.
But his underworld fruit might be a little tricky.
In the state of soul, you can't even catch it.
If you wrap it with seastone and pour cement.
Or grind the bones into powder and feed them to pigs.
I don’t know how Brook should respond.
Hmm, interesting.
Old guy, I don't believe I can't kill you.
With that said, Zoro started the lottery again.
Look at the abilities that emerge before your eyes.
Zoro's mouth raised at a strange angle.
"really interesting."
Shell Island.
Watchtower.
"Zera Vice Admiral, there are Marine warships heading here."
The correspondent saw Zorro's warship.
"Understood."
This middle-aged man is called Zella Vice Admiral.
He turned around and picked up another phone bug.
"Hey! Marine is coming, run!"
"What, Marine is here?"
Brook's three managers and other pirates from various factions were holding a concert.
At the same time, news was received that a Marine warship was sailing here.
For a moment, everything was in chaos.
...
Shell Island.
As the name suggests, it is rich in shells.
Among the shells, the pearl oysters here are the most expensive.
The entire island is very huge, much larger than the Boeing Islands a few days ago.
The population is as high as more than 200,000, and the main industry here is pearl oyster collecting.
There is no king here, but a parliament composed of a group of merchants.
They submitted a letter of affiliation to the World Government and received permission, and the gold from the sky was replaced by pearls from here.
Marine also has a Marine branch here.
G19 division.
The highest level of an officer here is Vice Admiral. The Vice Admiral of a branch is actually three levels lower than the one of the headquarters.
There are only sixteen Vice Admirals in this department.
"Fortunately, the notification was quick, but I don't know if it was too late." Zella Vice Admiral is not young, already in his fifties.
Being able to get into the position of Vice Admiral depends on having both sides and managing up and down.
Of course, Marine's evaluation of his achievement is that he can stabilize this area of the sea from pirates.
Is this really the case?
Shell Island has a large area and a large population.
There is a lot of money, and it is also a parliament composed of a group of businessmen.
In daily life, Zela was often pulled over by them to keep in touch with each other.
As you come and go, we begin to call each other brothers.
One bite at a time, a big brother, one at a time, wrapped around me.
So, the pirates came.
Be clear, the pirates here are not here to rob, but to do business.
What business are you doing?
Drug trade and arms trafficking.
Businessmen focus on profit.
If you can make money, everything is easy to say.
Not to mention doing business with pirates, just doing business with that bastard. As long as you have money, you can sell his mother.
Moreover, it is very safe to do business here. These businessmen have paid a lot of tribute to Zeira every year for more than ten years.
Tens of millions of Baileys were delivered to Zella's hands.
Zella gradually became invisible.
What goes before leads to results, and Zeira has not forgotten his group of subordinates.
Come on, the Marine branch here is all over.
Almost everyone has made a lot of profits.
There are innocent people, and gold can be mined from shit. In such a large Marine branch, of course there are some honest people who are unwilling to accept Zella's money.
There are very few people like this, but some say they need to report to their superiors.
The next day he was shot in the back and committed suicide.
Therefore, even if there are some innocent people, they will no longer find ways to show it.
Unless the relationship is strong.
This sea area, under this strange balance, is surprisingly quiet.
Merchants do business with pirates and pay Marine.
After Marine collected the protection fee, he pretended not to see these pirates.
These pirates also restrained their men not to commit crimes in this safe zone, but after leaving here, the pirates who had been suppressed for a long time returned to their original state.
In this way, compared with the surrounding areas, Zela is really full of vitality, and everything is flourishing!
What a good Vice Admiral!
In the office of Marine Division on Shell Island.
"Who is this person?" Zella is two meters and three meters tall. He is a tall man among ordinary people. He still has some strength to be a Vice Admiral.
He didn't receive any notification that the Vice Admiral from Naval Headquarters was coming to inspect his jurisdiction!
"No matter what, go stall for some time!"
Zeira was determined not to let this Vice Admiral easily get to the island.
Otherwise, the situation that I have maintained will be broken. It can be delayed for a while, but for a while.
"Is this place so amazing?"
Kari looked through the reports from the G18 branch, and it seemed that some pirates would be eradicated in a while.
It's like it was agreed upon.
"Maybe it's true?" Zoro teased.
"Maybe there really is such a powerful Marine protecting the safety of this area."
"But what? I don't believe it." The purpose of Zoro's coming here this time is the skeleton who held the concert. If there are other pirates, Zoro doesn't mind taking care of them together.
"I hope so." Kari spread his hands.
"We just need to replenish some ammunition, so let's go to the Marine branch first."
"Let's go."
...
"Zolo Vice Admiral!"
Zella almost spilled the tea in her hand in fright.
"The one who killed Whitebeard in the Summit War?"
Although Zella did not go to Marineford to participate in the battle, she still watched the live broadcast.
"It's just good luck." A bearded man on the side said.
This is a pirate, or in other words, the person in charge of pirates in this area. A large area needs a boss to coordinate the arrangements.
This long beard is the boss of the pirate organization on Shell Island.
Joseph.
"Whitebeard had already run out of life at that time, so I could just go up to him." Joseph thought that if he were there, he would also go up.
The title of killing the strongest man is too dazzling.
"And where are Pluton Rayleigh and Straw Hat Luffy?" Zeira refused to give up and persuaded the pirate not to act rashly.
"That old guy? Who knows where he came from? Who knew he was that weak." Joseph was still the same.
He is one of those people who thinks that now is a new era of pirates, that the older generation of pirates are a bunch of rubbish, and that the future is ours!
"As for the Straw Hat boy, how can he recover in two weeks? It's not worth mentioning!" Joseph was full of confidence.
This inexplicable self-confidence gave Zera a little courage.
Maybe Zoro is really a connected person?
I heard that he has a good relationship with the new Marine Marshal Akainu. Could it be that this guy is Akainu's son and came out to be gilded?
Zella suddenly thought of this.
"We can't act rashly." There was a third person in the room.
Representative of the Shell Island Merchants' Conference.
Lastia.
He is a businessman and everything is about making money.
Not willing to take unnecessary risks.
"Are you waiting for him to find out about us and arrest us all?"
Joseph pouted, not agreeing with the opinion of a coward like Lastia.
"It's okay to just pretend. Let him finish the inspection and leave quickly. We should do whatever we need to do." Zela said.
"That's okay." Lastia agreed.
"Well, if you are discovered, I will take action." Joseph still expressed his opinion before agreeing.
Leave this Marine Vice Admiral alone.
He was so confident that he first trapped him with seastone, then stunned him, and finally killed him.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Zella, a local snake, was still there to cover him up.
The report after the end said that Zoro was attacked in this sea area, could not be defeated, and died.
Almost perfect, the first step is about to fail.
Because Zoro is listening outside.
