In the first half of the great sea route, in the navy headquarters, Marlin Fando, a group of high-ranking navy officials was gathered under the lead of Admiral Kong, discussing the future of the sea.
" The situation in the New World is now chaotic. It's difficult for our navy to intervene. This was especially true for the Hundred Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates. White Beard's status was unshakable, and the two of them began to crazily annex other pirate forces to expand their scale. Although they aren't that scary yet, we can still take care of them. However, in the end, it has become a force to be reckoned with. If we want to touch them, we have to be prepared for heavy casualties!”
As soon as the crane spoke, everyone present had a solemn expression. The current New World was their biggest headache. The only people who were worthy of the navy today were the few people present. The only ones who could deal with the pirates in the new world were Karp, Sengoku, Zefa, and Kong. The words of the others were still a little immature. The future of the navy had yet to fully develop.
During this period of time, their navy absolutely could not suffer any major losses. Compared to the tide of the times, they could not afford to lose.
" Forget about the new world. Right now, the most important thing for us is to gain a firm foothold in the first half of this period and focus on development…" Kong said as he looked at General Zhan Guo beside him.
Compared to General Zefa, who liked to use force to solve problems, the so-called wise general, Zhan Guo, was undoubtedly more worthy of his heavy responsibility. Kong had already decided to entrust the position of the next admiral to him. This was no secret to the higher-ups.
"How's the situation at Four Seas, especially Ohara? This is something that the Five Old Stars specially asked you to do. I don't think I need to say what it means, right?”
Hearing this, Zhan Guo nodded. The Five Old Stars had left this matter to him, undoubtedly to test his abilities in the Warring States Period and to prepare for the position of admiral in the future.
"The others are fine. Ohara has been completely eliminated. However, something unexpected happened in the middle of the process!”
As he spoke, Zhan Guo took out a photo from his pocket and placed it on the conference table. The person in the photo was the Clown Emperor who had shown off his skills in Ohara.
"It's this man! In Ohara's Demon Slayer Token, he had injured Kuzan and Sakasugi, and that was when the two of them worked together. Although it disappeared in the end, I don't think that an existence that could injure two people would be destroyed by the cannon fire of the Demon Slayer Token!”
"To be able to injure that brat Couzan and that brat Sakasugi, it looks like another troublesome pirate has appeared on the sea!”Although he was a little surprised, Karp didn't stop. He kept sending the donut into his mouth. The group was used to this and did not criticize.
"What? Why is the guy who injured Kuzan and Sakasugi dressed like this?”
Hearing Zefa's words, everyone present agreed. Although the Clown Emperor's appearance was indeed very ferocious, they were used to seeing pirates on the sea, so they naturally wouldn't be surprised. In the end, there were plenty of ferocious pirates, and the Clown Emperor was no exception. However, among the pirates they had seen, none of them needed to "dress up" like the Clown Emperor.
"That's not important. What's important is that Kuzan said that there might be a master behind this man. That's the real point!”
Zhan Guo raised his glasses and said solemnly. When everyone present heard him say this, they also became serious.
To the World Government, the enemy on the surface was not scary. Even if the enemy was as strong as White Beard, it was not enough to make them feel fear. The government's 800-year-old foundation was not something that anyone could easily shake.
The truly terrifying enemies were those who had strength and power, but were also hidden in the dark. It was like a poisonous snake. No one could guarantee when such an existence would suddenly bite you. At that time, even if they were lucky enough to not die, it would be enough to make their hearts ache.
"Do those two little fellows want us to put a bounty on them?”
As soon as Kong said this, Zhan Guo nodded and said,"Yes, I am! Although his name was not mentioned, he could give him a title and offer a reward. It was indeed necessary to guard against such an existence in advance. Even if they didn't make any obvious movements now, it was necessary to pay a little attention!”
"I see…Then, let's name him 'Hell Clown'. As for the reward, let's set it at 250,000,000 Bailey.”
Hearing Kong's words, everyone present could not help but be stunned and somewhat shocked.
"Hey, Marshal Kong, is it really okay for such a reward to appear on the first bounty?”
Zefa said, but Zhan Guo nodded in understanding.
"To be able to injure both Kuzan and Sakasugi at the same time, this number seems a little low to me. However, the main point right now was not the bounty, but the existence behind this clown! General Kong, you want to use the high reward to attract the attention of the big forces on the ocean, right?”
"Why? Is there a problem with this?”
Jian Kong asked, and Zhan Guo also said,"The fact that the other party has only appeared now might mean that they do not want the world to know of their existence. The intervention of other factions might indeed help us probe the enemy's strength! However, we have to be prepared. Once the enemy is provoked and their forces are too powerful, the sea will truly lose control…"
"Erhahaha…Zhan Guo, don't worry! The sea was already chaotic enough. They were not lacking!”
Karp's laughter broke the heavy atmosphere of the meeting. However, Zhan Guo's veins were already bulging.
"Karp, you bastard, just eat your donut quietly…"
……
Not long after, the news-delivery gulls were also flying around the world with newspapers in their hands…
……
Meanwhile, on Sager in the West Ocean, Tianming and the Clown Emperor were still unaware that they were being watched by the navy headquarters. However, even if he knew, Tianming would not care. He had already decided to secretly develop his forces. In the next few years, he would hide in the darkness as much as possible.
When this darkness completely erupted, it would definitely shake the entire world.
Of course, this was only in the future. Right now, Tianming and the Clown Emperor were doing something else-stealing.
After all, if he wanted to develop, he could not do without money. Although money wasn't everything, it was absolutely necessary to have money. Whether it was to settle down in Sager or to make contact with the local forces, money was essential. Even having no money to eat was a headache.
As for his goal, Tianming already had a direction in his mind.
In the end, the richest people on the ocean would always be the world government. The navy under his command, whether it was the headquarters or any branch on the sea, had a small treasury belonging to the department.
After all, other than the navy and pirates, there were also pirate hunters who would kill pirates to obtain the corresponding bounties. Although the navy was not directly related to them, they were dealing with pirates after all. It could be considered to have relieved a lot of pressure for them.
Therefore, in terms of funds, the headquarters would regularly replenish the small vaults of the various branches every year to deal with the exchange fees of the pirate hunters. And this sum of money was enough to ensure that Tianming would not have to worry about spending money in a short period of time...
