Pirates of the First Empire

Ever since the Umbrella Group entered the market on Kraigana Island, in a short period of time, it has almost monopolized the entire high-end weapons market here...

The reason why we say high-end is mainly because the prices of Umbrella Group's weapons are relatively high, and even because their bullets are pointed bullets that are different from round-nose bullets. It is not easy for other small workshops to imitate them, and the cost is also high. In addition, semi-automatic weapons Firearms consume a lot of bullets, and ordinary people may not be able to use them...

Of course, many things are not necessarily for sale, especially for bandits, bandits, and illegally armed warlords. They will never spend a penny on anything they can rob.

However, after several large-scale bloody suppressions by the Umbrella Corps, these guys learned their lesson. The warehouse managers of the Umbrella are very sensible and will not stop someone from trying to rob them, but the consequences are unbearable...

After several bloody crackdowns and the loss of tens of thousands of lives in exchange for this lesson, even if the Umbrella Group's warehouse was undefended, no one would dare to set foot there easily, let alone snatch firearms.

As one of the three most populous markets in the Great Channel, Kraikana Island is also close enough to the Umbrella Armed Security Company headquartered on Xuanci Island. In addition, it is also a war-torn place. In Xiu's eyes, This is a natural place for military training.

Compared with the relatively stable situation in the Sixteen-Nation Alliance, although there are not so many countries on Kraygana Island, it is more unstable. There are also independent towns, bandit gangs, and civil war warlords mixed between countries. …

War houses rooted here can easily recruit sufficient reserves of Umbrella soldiers. According to the plan, each war house will have weapons sales, weapons maintenance and other functions, including Umbrella Corps reserve recruitment and mercenary missions. of access.

Of course, hiring a saturated army to perform tasks is not cheap. It is difficult for ordinary people to afford it, even through crowdfunding. However, what if reserve soldiers can be hired at cost?

This is how Xiu came up with a way to train troops. Let them carry out various relatively "cheap" "bandit suppression" tasks. Basically, they are all at "cost price", that is, they are basically responsible for the money for some elixirs and logistics, and then they can be hired. Reserve soldiers perform less difficult tasks, such as encircling and suppressing bandits, encircling and suppressing gangs, etc...

The so-called "unintentional planting of willows and willows creates shade", Xiu's move is simply good news for many towns with good business development but little armed forces. As long as they spend the least money, they can solve it once and for all. Many people even think of it. This is due to the kindness of this CEO.

As a result, the Umbrella Armed Security Company, which has now become a part of the dark world, actually has a very good reputation throughout Krai Kana Island, and has also become a behemoth that can be attracted by all parties.

On the other side, the Grand Line, the new world.

After other pirate groups witnessed the Red-haired Pirates leaving the Whitebeard Pirates' territory and immediately entering Kaido's territory, they couldn't sit still and immediately began to use various channels to try to learn more. There are many, and information gaps can sometimes be fatal, especially in their line of pirates.

What's strange is that those who were able to come into contact with Lucifer, Hannock, etc., all returned to silence after a short period of contact. This approach makes people feel that everything is weird!

In fact, Shanks had no intention of conducting a raid from the beginning. That was simply impossible. Unless his own pirate group and affiliated pirate groups, who would obey the command?

What's more, through his own information channels, Shanks knew that the Navy Headquarters had already begun planning for this battle. It was too late for him and others to start plotting now. Don't say "act at the same time and sneak attack on the Navy Headquarters together." "All naval branches in the New World".

The reason why Shanks made the matter known to everyone through "grapevine" is also very simple. He wants to let everyone understand that the war is coming, and the opportunity to become famous in the world is also coming. He who has ideas Take good care of it...

Shanks knew very well that although the Navy Headquarters was called the "Overlord of the Sea" and was superior to the so-called "Three Emperors", it was actually the same. After all, even if it was a single or even two "Three Emperors" level The pirates put together are not necessarily the navy's opponent.

However, what should be clear here is that the Navy Headquarters represents the power of the entire navy, and the "Three Emperors" and "Silver Medal Players" only represent part of the pirate power. Once most of the pirates in the New World are was instigated, and the navy lost its "surprise" advantage, then...

Furthermore, even if the Navy Headquarters makes up its mind to attack the pirates in the New World, it cannot really invest all its combat power without reservation. The Headquarters and the first half of the Grand Channel still need to be guarded. of.
