Pirates of the First Empire

That's right, one year later, the Umbrella Group's USS Rangers have made another small change. This time the change is because their firepower has been greatly enhanced, making the original fighting method of a group of 12 people It will cause excess firepower...

According to the calculations of the Laboratory Zero database, the USS Rangers were changed from a group of 12 people, a total of nine groups, to a group of nine people, a total of [-] groups. With this change, it not only ensures the highest firepower output and team cooperation, but also has more It has three adjustable motor combinations, which perfectly meets today's needs.

As for Andy, as the original captain of the first group, he is now also the deputy commander of the entire USS Rangers. The position of commander is still held concurrently by Mr. Xiu, and it should not change in a short time.

The Sixteen-Nation Alliance is composed of sixteen non-World Government member countries. It is located across the two fixed routes of the Great Waterway and the fringe areas. It consists of a large dotted archipelago of sixteen countries that are independent of each other but have in-depth cooperation. Composed of countries, this alliance has been established for 500 years.

Over the past 500 years, the royal families of the sixteen kings were basically related to each other and had been married many times. At the same time, the reason why they were able to achieve independence under the eyes of the world government and the navy was not because of how strong they really were. .

As far as Doyle knows, although this so-called Sixteen-Nation Alliance is composed of sixteen countries that are not members of the World Government, in fact, as early as 400 years ago, that is, 100 years after the establishment of the Alliance, these kingdoms He successively expressed his surrender to the world government...

After all, the world government cannot really turn a blind eye to where hundreds of millions of people are located.However, what is strange is that the Alliance of Sixteen Nations did not join the World Government because of this. Instead, the royal families of the Sixteen Kingdoms each selected a person to form the Alliance Parliament, and then in the name of the Alliance, among the participating countries of the World Government, Get a seat...

In this way, the Sixteen-Nation Alliance reached a reconciliation and non-aggression contract with the World Government, and its sixteen countries continued to consider themselves as non-joining countries and could do all kinds of things prohibited by the World Government's laws. At the same time, every day in the Alliance Parliament, The amount of heavenly gold that was paid as tribute was the largest among many kingdoms.

It has to be said that when Doyle saw this "case", he realized that such magical political behavior also existed in this world. Doyle even discovered that this so-called Sixteen-Nation Alliance was a powerful force for the navy in The major branches and even the headquarters of the Grand Line have provided a large number of soldiers, and their population is probably used as one of the bargaining chips in exchange for "freedom".

……

It has to be said that the operation of the Sixteen-Nation Alliance is indeed very "sexy", but because of this, it has become a unique "criminal paradise", that is, a paradise for criminals. After all, as a non-member country, it has no obligation to assist the world. The government and the navy arrest and monitor bounty prisoners. As long as they don't get into trouble with the navy, pirates can basically stay on the island with peace of mind and don't have to worry about being caught.

And because the World Government is afraid of this alliance, there are basically naval branches guarding the periphery of each port in the Sixteen Countries. Some ports have more than one branch. This also ensures that pirates do not dare to plunder these countries casually. The three form an unexpected balance.

This special environment has naturally attracted the attention of the Dark World. Now, "Yesarul City" where the Sixteen-Nation Alliance Alliance Parliament is located has also become the headquarters of the Dark World in the Great Channel...

However, the headquarters of the Dark World is not as important as imagined. As a relatively loose organization, it is said to be the headquarters, but in fact it is just a fixed place for the giant alliance to hold meetings, and there is no other special place. After all, whether it is the giant alliance The common "assets" of the giants or the respective assets of the giants, which one is not spread all over the world?

In addition to the so-called headquarters of "Yesalur City", there are also sixteen large-scale black markets in the sixteen countries, which are divided and responsible for sixteen powerful old giants. The benefits generated by them are not weak at all. The major directly controlled black markets currently controlled by the "new faction"...

After all, the interests of the directly-controlled black market belong to the alliance of giants, while the interests of the large-scale black markets in the Sixteen Countries are all private. This is where the major interest gap lies, and it is also the reason why the established giants look down on the so-called "directly-controlled black market". The reason for the two dates.

However, the "directly controlled black market" controlled by the new faction has not returned the majority of the interests that originally belonged to the giant alliance to the headquarters for two years. As for the reasons used, there are also various reasons. Among the giant alliance, The established giants have long been dissatisfied.

As the saying goes, only three things can happen. If they haven't seen what they should have by the end of this year, they will probably attack the "new faction" soon and demand to take back control of the directly controlled black market.
