Pirates: How many divisions does the Five Old Stars have?

Chapter 100 Mission: Lurking

A few months ago, the red-haired Shanks officially proclaimed his king's arrival in the New World, becoming the fourth emperor of the sea after Edward Newgate with the white beard, Kaido the Beast, and Charlotte Lingling the big mother.

Although, compared to the other three sea emperors, Shanks' background is very mysterious, and even Warring States and Wulaoxing give him a face, but pirates are pirates after all.

If someone declared his enthronement in such a high-profile way, and the navy did nothing, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world?

Although Ma Qiao didn't quite understand the principle, but according to the setting of this world, the navy, Qiwuhai, and sea emperor formed a balance among the three.

Now that the Three Emperors have changed to the Four Emperors, this balance will definitely be shaken. It is very possible that the world government will recruit Shichibukai to a meeting, or even organize an army to go to Shanks' site for an armed parade.

At this critical moment of subverting the country, Lao Sha did not dare to turn against the navy and cause unnecessary troubles, so Lao Sha would definitely agree to their recruitment.

The above content is all the information guessed by the newspaper king candidate Ma Qiao through a few words in the newspaper.

It wasn't until a guy like Fujitora showed a strong aura in the Rain Banquet Casino, and Crocodile still didn't show up, that Ma Qiao finally confirmed his whereabouts.

Lao Sha is not at home, Marjorie NTR...

Ah no, Lao Sha is not at home, and Ma Qiao is called the king.

Ma Qiao packed another dozen boxes of Lao Sha's favorite precious cigars, and then asked, "Since the president is not at home, Miss. AllSunday, will you be the one to give the task this time?"

Robin shook his head, and took out from the drawer a phone bug with the logo of Baroque Works and a mustache: "Mr.

Soon, the phone bug was connected.

Unsurprisingly, the encrypted phone bug doesn't reflect Lao Sha's facial features.

Whether it's the iconic cigar smoke or the scars running across his face, there's nothing on the Phone Bug.

A hoarse voice came from the phone bug: "Ma Qiao... Are you still alive?"

Ma Qiao picked up the microphone: "Hey, I won't die until I get my pension."

"You boy is still as annoying as ever..."

Crocodile paused for a moment, as if recalling the scene where he was angered by this veteran salted fish before: "I heard about you in Marlin Vandor, and it's really surprising that you can be recognized by the G2 branch... ..."

"That's right, if the club's pension doesn't increase, maybe I'll quit!" Ma Qiao replied truthfully

"You kid..."

Crocodile calmed down again: "Okay, Mr. 7 was killed, you can take his place..."

"Thank you, boss! Boss is generous!" Ma Qiao immediately patted the crocodile's fart.

Mr. 7 is one rank higher than Icarem, and is considered to be a top-ranked middle-level agent.

According to the system of the Baroque Work Club, Ma Qiao's benefits will be greatly improved, and he will have the right to apply for a private warship and control 500 million elders.

"Does your kid have a suitable female partner? Or continue to cooperate with the original Miss. Father's Day?"

I don’t know what Crocodile thinks, but in Baroque Works, men and women are paired up, and work is not tiring. This is the core corporate culture of the company.

Ma Qiao thinks this is very worth promoting.

But after careful recollection, the original Miss. Father's Day seems to be a woman who looks like a frog. (as pictured)

Ma Qiao quickly replied: "President, I'm not used to cooperating with strangers. I have a very capable intern beside me..."

"Then let her take over from Miss. Father's Day."

Crocodile didn't think too much about the appointment and removal of such small cadres: "But if you mess up the task I'm going to talk about next... I will kill you all..."

Weiwei, who somehow became an intermediate agent, swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

I have to say that when Lao Sha lowered his voice and made threats, he was still very forceful, and he was very good at bluffing people.

But Marjorie was already immune to this, digging his ears and waiting for what task he would have to spend a lot of time calling to arrange in person.

""Utopia Operation" has begun!"

Probably facing Ma Qiao, he naturally thought of the years when he was self-made after being beaten up by White Beard. Today's Crocodile is a bit talkative.

After talking about the dry dogma that the weak are ignorant and the strong are worthy of survival, Crocodile finally got to the point, and said in a voice that is unique to a conspirator:

"So, your mission this time is to gain the trust of King Cobra of Alabasta with your female companion, sneak into his side, use dancing fans and other means to weaken his authority, and make him lose the trust of the people of Alabasta! "

"what?"

Marjorie froze.

He looked at Ms. Neferutali Weiwei who was covering her mouth and almost screamed because she learned of such a sinister plan, and wanted to send a big question mark to Brother Crocodile.

Brother, you can't blame Wang Lufei for the failure of your plan!
If the political review is not strict, this is the end!

"Why, do you want to disobey my order?"

Crocodile's impatient voice came from the phone: "Don't worry, there are already many of our people lurking around King Cobra of Alabasta, Miss. AllSunday will give you the list later...

As for why you were asked to do this, do you know? "

"Because I have been working hard since the establishment of the club, being proactive, and daring to be the first. The boss sees all this in your eyes and remembers it in your heart?"

Crocodile: "..."

"Okay, stop joking, kid, I let you carry out this task because of your prestige in the G2 branch, and by using your status as a talent recognized by the Navy, you will easily gain Cobra's trust...

Now that the people's livelihood is suffering due to the drought, Cobra is openly recruiting the Minister of Finance from all over the world.

Don't you claim to be 'proficient in human nature'?

Go get that stupid old king... If you don't succeed, I'll kill you! "

"Dududu-"

After sending out a threat, Crocodile didn't seem to want to talk nonsense with this veteran society rice bug for a second, so he quickly hung up the phone.

……

Rainy port.

Nami looked at the exquisite boat with clover and flowers as the prow symbol, her eyes were full of little stars.

"Joe, is this ship really free?"

"That's right, did you see that orange tree? That's the sapling sent by Nuoqi Gaobai Torrez!"

Nami quickly ran onto the boat - the Golden Nicole, jumping happily on it.

After becoming a mid-level cadre code-named Mr.7, Ma Qiao obtained the qualification to apply for an exclusive sea-going ship.

Robin used the authority in his hand to increase the configuration of the ship by a billion points.

Of course, to put it bluntly, this ship was at the level of the Golden Meili. Although it was much better than Ma Qiao's original small ship, its actual performance was just that.

He has already made up his mind, intending to build a big bug version of the elephant master, and reproduce a new "Zou". Of course, Ma Qiao doesn't like such a small boat.

But Nami looked very, very happy.

As a navigator, it was the first time for Nami to own a ship of her own.

She has too many ideas to realize on the Golden Nicole.

Full of enthusiasm, Nami directed Tam, Jhin, Drizzt and others to pull up the cables and raise the sails. She wanted to get familiar with the performance of the ship as soon as possible and prepare for the next voyage.

Weiwei curled her lips aside: "If you knew what the clover and flowers on this ship mean, and why it's called 'Nicole', you wouldn't be so happy."

Just as the origin of the name of the Golden Merry is the investor butler Merry, the origin of the name of the Golden Nicole is also due to Nicole Robin.

For this mysterious and dangerous woman who is very gentle in front of the uncle, Weiwei is 12 vigilant.

Of course, at this time, Weiwei didn't have much energy to defend her against fire and theft.

Because the next stop of the Golden Nicole is Albana, the capital of Alabasta, where Vivi's father, King Cobra, is looking for a sage, hoping that a sage will lead Alabasta out of sight. crisis.

To be honest, Marjorie doesn't quite understand Cobra's brain circuit.

The great affairs of the country lie in worship and Rong.

In addition to these two, the economy is probably the third most important thing.

Alabasta is a superpower in the first half of the great route. When there is no war, there are as many as 60 standing troops completely out of production.

What is this concept?
The largest country in the universe, facing the huge military pressure from its strong neighbors in the north, the Republic of Korea, which has to enforce military service for all its citizens, has a standing army of only 58 people.

The standing army of Egypt, the prototype country of Alabasta, is only 45 people.

South Korea has a population of 5200 million and Egypt has a population of 1 million.

Considering that it is impossible for Alabasta to implement a comprehensive military service system like South Korea, and its productivity is far from comparable to that of South Korea, the total population of Alabasta must be larger than that of South Korea.

Let's assume that Alabasta's productivity level has reached that of Egypt in the 21st century, then its population should also be between 5200 million and 1.5 million.

The so-called statement that the total population of Alabasta is 1000 million is absolutely nonsense.

As for the area of ​​Alabasta, based on the speed and running time of the Karoo Duck in the original plot, a series of complex calculations were performed. Its land area is about 46.5 square kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to the size of HLJ province, or 1 in Egypt. /2.

In other words, the Kingdom of Alabasta is roughly a country with half the land of Egypt and a similar population.

Such a volume is definitely a well-deserved big country in Pirate World.

But it is such a big country, it is really incomprehensible that the king actually recruited the Minister of Finance from all over the world.

However, considering that the majestic Navy Headquarters can actually engage in world conscription, allowing white men like Fujitora and Green Bull to be directly promoted to generals, Cobra's operations are not so confusing.

Either bloodlines are paramount to the extreme, or meritocracy is paramount, the political structure of the Pirate World is really flickering with diodes...

On the Golden Nicole, Ma Qiao touched Weiwei's head, and pinned her sky-blue hair that was blown by the sea wind behind her ears.

The latter raised his head, revealing a bitter smile.

Father, lover, country, destiny...

The girl was confused.
