Leaving behind the already crippled Andre, Linley quickly rushed to the port and comforted Robin, who hadn't yet recovered from his shock.
He turned around and looked at his subordinates who were busy on a large ship.
It was fifty-one meters long and had a displacement of 1600 tons.
This ship had been secretly built by Linley after he had decided to become a pirate. The design had been drawn up by a famous master designer, who had taken reference from the British ship King of the Seas on Linley's Earth. While preserving its speed, it had been designed with a powerful three-deck design.
It was equipped with 10 168mm cannons, 12 140mm cannons to prevent pursuit, and more than 70 large-caliber cannons on the upper deck and the main deck. Made from Adam's Precious Tree, which is stronger than steel.
In Linley's words, a ship with more firepower than him definitely wouldn't be able to outrun him. A ship with weaker firepower might be able to outrun him, but if they caught up to him, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths. The firepower of this ship was definitely enough to take on ten navy warships at once.
There were more than two hundred sailors on the ship, all of whom Linley had selected from various places. Some had been saved by Linley, some had volunteered to serve him because of their dreams, and some had joined him because of Linley's charisma.
The boatmen invited were the extremely famous Gray Brothers in the Capital of Seven Waters. He gathered his subordinates who were busy at the port.
Standing on the deck, Linley gathered his busy subordinates. This group of people covered almost a third of the deck.
"You all know why I brought you here! You should know what I'm going to do! It was not strength, technique, or aptitude! The reason why you are standing here is because of your loyalty to me! As well as your hearts that still have dreams and look forward to making a career!”
Linley paused for a moment before continuing.
"Look at those walking corpses in Rock Town! They were busy like ants every day, and they would never get even a trace of respect from others in their lives!”
As he spoke, he pointed at his subordinates below.
"Lei Ke, let's take you for example. You're strong, but you don't have any backing. Are you satisfied with smiling obsequiously at the captains of merchant ships every day?”
"Not satisfied, Boss!"
"Zhao Yunyi! As a Chinese physician, your medical skills are superb, but because you are ostracized by your colleagues, you can only treat some daily illnesses in the hospital! Are you willing?"
"I'm not satisfied, Boss!"
....
All the sailors were told by Linley, and as Linley spoke, their emotions grew more and more agitated.
"Do you want to become like those ignorant people?？Every day, he was mediocre, without goals or dreams!”
"No!"
"Do you want to gain the respect of others, even if it's only because of the awe brought by power?”
"Boss, we want to!"
"Louder, I can't hear you!"
"We want to!"
"Sailors, for our dreams and ambitions, put away your spears and set sail! Run towards the great route! The name of our Kaiser Pirates will definitely resound throughout the sea!!!”
"Let's go! For his dreams! Long live Captain Caesar! Long live the Kaiser Pirates!"
Amidst the cheers, a black background with a skull drawn on it, and a flag surrounded by cards, rose up. Borrowing the wind, the sails billowed, and Linley officially embarked on the path to becoming a great pirate.
"This is what Roger wanted us to comprehend, right?" Looking at the excited faces of the sailors below, Linley laughed to himself.
At this moment, Lei Ke walked up to Linley."Captain, what should we do next?"”
"Inform them to go to the 163 Navy branch, which is the W-1 branch. After receiving so many bribes from me, it's time to collect some interest and spread our name! Declaring our existence to the sea."
Linley was in high spirits. After obtaining Trask's card, he no longer had to fear that branch lieutenant general.
Lei Ke had perfectly adapted to his role as the temporary chief officer, and he passed down Linley's orders. The warship deviated to the left, braving the wind and waves, heading toward the 163rd branch.
--------------------------
" Blu, Blu, Blu." The voice of the phone bug in Lieutenant General's office rang.
"Moxi, Moxi, I am Lieutenant General Yukimura from the branch. What can I do for you?"
"Lieutenant General Shinkou, we failed. Everyone is dead, and I'm the only one left. I didn't expect that Linley would actually be an Exploding Fruit aptitude user.
"How are you now?"
"I'm still in Rock Harbor. I'm seriously injured. Requesting backup."
"Okay, I understand. Hold on a little longer. I'll send someone to rescue you immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Yukimura's expression was extremely ugly. He turned to the person sitting on the sofa and said," Sorry, I made a fool of myself."
"It's fine. If you need me, just let me know. After all, I'm one of the people in charge of this matter."
"I will if I need to, Lieutenant General Cousin."
--------------------
" Master," the system, which had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again.
"What's the matter?" Linley was quite curious as to why the system had come out to speak.
"It's nothing. We just came out to make our presence known.”
“....”
"Also, let me remind you, Master. Branch 163 has a small surprise waiting for you."
"A small surprise…" Linley was silent. Hearing the System's mocking tone, he knew that this 'little surprise' definitely wasn't a surprise.
In fact, from my point of view, the fact that the branch officers are weaker than the headquarters is very unreliable. First of all, from the fact that the navy headquarters gathered the elites of the branches from all over the world during the war, it can be seen that the strength of the branches is not necessarily weaker than the headquarters. It's just that the strength of the branches in the four seas is slightly weaker, but it's not that weak. After all, you can't just rely on strength to confer titles.
In addition, the matter of the branch being demoted to the headquarters…They were all military officers, just like the local army and the central army. They were all part of the same system, so how could there be so many rules? I don't know if Oda said it himself, but I don't think it's reliable.
I was negligent in naming the branch. I didn't look at the information. Now, except for the first part, I can't change everything.
