The first half of the Grand Line, the Grosse Sea area.

clatter!

A stack of newspapers fell on the deck. A soldier bent down to pick it up and looked up at the sky. A seagull flapped its wings and flew away.

The soldier opened the newspaper and took a casual look. He raised his head and glanced back and forth on the deck, and saw the instructor who had just walked out of the cabin.

"Instructor, this is today's newspaper."

The soldier walked up to the one-eyed instructor and handed him the newspaper. The instructor opened the newspaper and looked at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, took the newspaper, turned back to the cabin, walked through the narrow aisle, and pushed open the command room door.

In the command room, Illumi, Pride, and Gleed were sitting around a square table with a chart spread out on it, and they were studying a route that could avoid the naval base.

In addition to the five members of Ilumi, there are also six liaison officers.

The one-eyed instructor pushed open the door, and the five people immediately looked up at the door.

"Maurice, what's the matter?"

Yilumi looked at the one-eyed instructor and asked.

"BOSS, this is today's news." One-eyed instructor Morris walked to the table and put the newspaper in his hand on the table. "The World Economic News Agency exposed the news that the gold in the sky was robbed."

Hearing this, Yilumi and others pulled out a newspaper from the pile and read it.

"World Economic News Agency exposed this news, which not only damaged the prestige of the world government, but also brought us to the attention of the world."

"At this stage, that's a disadvantage for us."

Pride put down the newspaper and said.

"It doesn't matter, it will take a long time for them to find out everything." Yilumi said calmly: "After plundering the heavenly gold, we won't need to worry about funds for a long time, so let's disappear for a while.

"

"The value of the gold in the sky is still being calculated, and it is expected to take three days to complete," Rasthui reported.

"Hey, it only takes three days to do the statistics. The Dracos are really good at making money." Grid grinned and said: "If we break into the Draconis' lair and loot it, I'm afraid we will never have to worry about funding.

.”

"Well, attacking the Holy Land Marie Joa? It is indeed a feasible plan, but it needs to be considered in the long term." Pride looked serious and thought for a moment, then said: "First of all, we need a shield to attract the attention of the world government."

"This shield must be strong and pose a certain threat to the world government. It also needs to maintain an absolutely hostile attitude towards the world government."

Instructor Morris glanced at Ilumi and the others one by one, and a sense of absurdity arose in his heart.

Six months ago, he was a retired soldier due to injury. When he saw the recruitment of the Balkimoa military, he thought it was just an ordinary mercenary organization that could make ends meet by relying on his previous professional military knowledge, but it turned out to be an anti-government organization.

, and this organization also plundered the heavenly gold.

It is impossible to turn back now. Based on his understanding of the Navy and the World Government, even if he takes the initiative to leak information to the World Government, it will not change that he is a member of an anti-government organization and will definitely be executed secretly.

"Boss, do we really not have to worry about the infiltration of spies from the World Government at all?" Morris said with a serious face: "Of course you don't need to worry too much about the Naval Intelligence Department, but the World Government's CP agents are everywhere."

"Oh? Do you know CIPHERPOL? What did you do before?" Hearing this, Yilumi stared at instructor Morris with interest.

Bradley is in charge of recruitment at Blackwater International, and Ilumi has never taken the initiative to learn the personal information of these people.

"Former Colonel of the Navy Headquarters, under the command of Lieutenant General Karp, Maurice? 6? 1 Baudelaire."

The one-eyed instructor gave a brief self-introduction.

"It's not that simple to be the subordinate of that naval hero." Ilumi was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked: "However, you are far from old enough to retire, why don't you become a naval officer?

Where is it?"

Ilumi's question made Pride, Gleed and others all focus on him. Even the six liaison officers in the command room also turned to look at him.

"Well, it's a long story." Morris crossed his arms across his chest, closed his eyes, sighed, and said in a low voice: "I retired from the Navy a year ago, and at that time I was assigned to Lieutenant General Kuzan.

My subordinates, become a member of the Demon-Slaying Order and go to the West Sea to carry out the mission of the World Government."

"Xihai, O'Hara incident." A smile appeared on Yilumi's lips, "I almost understand why you retired."

"Really?" Instructor Morris looked at Ilumi after hearing this, a ray of light flashed in his eyes, "It seems that the boss also knows about the O'Hara incident."

"It's just a lot more than you know."

Ilumi smiled and said that neither of them planned to continue chatting, and everyone knew it.

"You don't have to worry about spies." Yilumi pointed at his scarlet pupils, "My eyes are monitoring everything all the time."

Morris got an incomprehensible answer, but since he said that, he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door to the command room was pushed open. A soldier stood at attention at the door, saluted, and reported loudly:

"Report, a naval warship was spotted at three o'clock and is approaching our fleet."

The soldier's voice was loud and his expression was fearless.

After yesterday's battle, they had grown a lot overnight. Although they did not engage in a brutal boarding battle, the cross-fire bombardment from hundreds of cannons was equally shocking.

Originally, they were apprehensive when they knew that the enemies they were annihilating were naval fleets and world government officials, but after a whole night of brainwashing by Pride, they still accepted the reality that they had become members of the anti-government organization.

Of course, the most important thing is that they won.

And promised to give them the rewards they deserve. In addition, Pride also said that for those who perform well in future tasks, Blackwater International will give them the power to become stronger.

These two promises of considerable rewards and the ability to become stronger have strengthened the belief of many soldiers to stay.

Of course, there are people who believe in Pride's decision to stay, and there are naturally people who don't believe it and choose to leave. For these people, Blackwater International has other plans for them.

"The navy's actions and execution capabilities are quite good. It has launched a comprehensive search operation on the first day." Yilumi smiled, slowly stood up and walked towards the door, "We have a large amount of sky gold on the ship, disguised as a chamber of commerce.

There is no way the fleet can get away with it."

"There is no need to bombard the warships. I will sneak in, solve their communication equipment, and then kill them all by myself."

After Ilumi left, the three Pride people continued the meeting, with Gratoni sitting aside and biting his fingers, and the mentally retarded children did not participate in the meeting.
