I was a pirate, but I was given a Death panel

A week later.

It takes about eight days from the windless zone to the sixteenth branch.

In these eight days, the one hundred sailors on the warship were very busy, because...

They are all busy working with the cook to make Neptune type jerky.

Otherwise, most of the meat will go bad before reaching the sixteenth branch.

At the same time, Lu Qi also carried out the tasks assigned by Sean meticulously and finally confirmed several things.

First, the effect of this special kind of Neptune meat is only obvious the first time you eat it. Although you can have a lasting effect if you eat it afterward, it is not as big as the first time.

According to the records in the past eight days, starting from the second time of eating, the growth achieved each time is only about 10%-20% of the first time, depending on each person's physique.

However, it still has high strategic value due to its sustainable growth characteristics.

As for whether there is still this special type of sea king in the windless zone, Lu Qi's report said that the probability is very small.

After all, there are quite a few people in this world who have killed and eaten Neptunes, but I have never heard of such a thing.

But he overlooked one thing.

That is...

This Neptune creature was not born naturally.

Second, eating multiple times a day has no additional effect. It seems that the energy that can be digested and absorbed every day is limited.

Usually the first meal can satisfy a person's digestion and absorption limit for the day. It does not mean that if you eat a hundred meals a day, you can strengthen it a hundred times.

Therefore, Lu Qi suggested in his report that only one meal should be provided to the sailors every day, and the remaining two meals should still be ordinary meals.

In this way, these precious ingredients will not be wasted, and the Neptune type jerky on hand is enough to feed the sailors of the Sixteenth Branch for half a year.

The final step is to estimate.

According to Lu Qi's estimation, relying on these sea king-type dried meats, all the sailors in the sixteen branches will exceed 100 power in half a year.

Even some people who originally have relatively high Dao power and relatively good physical talents should be able to break through 200 Dao power.

Don't underestimate the strength of two hundred, that is basically the strength of a major in the headquarters.

In other words, in half a year, all of the 100 sailors in my hands will be lieutenants, and many of them will even reach the level of captains!

The most important thing is that this report only elaborates on the effects of this batch of Neptune-like flesh and blood, and does not calculate the results of these sailors' half-year training.

In other words, the final comprehensive effect should be stronger than what is reported.

As for whether it will improve a person's natural physique, making it easier to practice physical skills in the future.

This requires more time to observe.

Lu Qi's report ends here.

Good guy, this is really a good guy.

After reading it, Sean had to sigh.

------

Now, in the entire sixteenth branch, except for a group of marine soldiers sent by Smog, there is no one else.

After all, whether it is the branch chief or the sailors under his command...

They were all taken to the headquarters for investigation and trial.

After handing over to the remaining group of sailors, Sean asked everyone to take action.

Although there is such a team of marines stationed there, after all, it is impossible for only a few people to clean up your entire branch every day.

Therefore, after more than half a year, most of the sixteen branches have been covered with cobwebs.

I'm afraid I won't be able to recover even if I don't do a good job of cleaning for a few days.

Of course, the top priority is to clear out a warehouse with suitable conditions for storing Neptune jerky.

Every sailor is very sad about this matter.

Roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Lu Qi was directing all of this, while Sean was concerned about another thing.

"I said, old man from the Warring States Period, let alone Bailey, among these sixteen branches, there is not even anything to eat or drink. Do you want to starve us to death?"

"What are you talking about, brat? I have already arranged the supplies. They should be delivered tomorrow. The supplies on your warship should last for a few days. As for the funds, you can figure out how to do it yourself!"

"What, you don't even give me a pele, and you still want me to find a way to do it myself?"

Sean's eyes widened immediately.

Warring States old man, you have gone too far!

"Sean, let me tell you something. In fact, the World Government's annual allocation only covers about 30% of the navy's military expenditures."

"So where do you think the remaining 70% of vacancies come from?"

......

......

Upon hearing this, Sean was stunned for a moment.

The world government's annual allocation to the navy is only 30% of the navy's expenditure?

This matter seems not to have been mentioned in the original work.

But Warring States doesn’t look like he’s lying, so how on earth is the gap as big as the remaining 70% filled?

There seems to be only one possible answer, and that is...

Pirates!

Yes, the navy destroys so many pirate groups every year, and each pirate group it destroys can seize a large amount of property from its pirate ship or base.

Especially the pirate groups on the Grand Line have at least several million Baileys, and at most they have hundreds of millions or even more Baileys.

So after this year, the seizure alone will definitely be a huge wealth.

But at the same time, Sean thought of another problem.

If the navy kills pirates too hard, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of pirate groups, or if it completely curbs this era of great pirates...

So will the Navy collapse in on itself due to funding problems?

After all, the world government does not provide enough money, and the decrease in pirates means that the navy does not have enough additional income.

In this way, even if it does not collapse, I am afraid that half of the people, warships, bases, etc. will have to be laid off to maintain balance of payments.

Is this thing probably done intentionally by the world government from the very beginning?

As the Five Old Stars said in the original work, the balance of the three major forces is the cornerstone for the world government to maintain its rule.

Through the control of military spending, on the one hand, the World Government can prevent the navy from getting bigger. On the other hand, when the strength of the pirates weakens, the navy cannot harm itself with a knife and weaken itself.

On the one hand, pirates are retained, forcing various countries to rely on the World Government, and on the other hand, they can control the strength of the navy.

This is really a good hand to play!

There is no way to solve this situation.

The easiest way is to go directly to the empty island and capture the golden land of Sandola. The gold reserves there are enough for the navy to use for dozens or hundreds of years.

Didn't you read the original story, did Luffy and the others just pick up some small things and sell them for 3 million beli?

And just one pillar of the golden clock, based on the huge effect drawn in the original work, is worth hundreds of billions of beli.

As for the gold in Sandora, the basic unit is probably trillions of beli.

After hanging up the phone, Sean called Lu Qi.

"Lu Qi, please make arrangements and leave half of the people in the branch to be responsible for general cleaning and some necessary repairs, and then the remaining people will go to sea with me tomorrow morning!"

"Brigadier General, do you want to..."

"As a navy, of course we are going to fight pirates. Otherwise, what else can we do?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Lu Qi nodded, not doubting that he was there.

Sean was thinking about which pirates in the East China Sea were richer.

And there is...

Should I find time to go to the Kingdom of Zhumeida?

Although the Campbell family strictly speaking has nothing to do with me, after all, I am a time traveler.

But the huge assets that originally belonged to you can't just be cheap, right?

Even if Wu Laoxing notices this matter, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

After all, the identity of my body...

It's right here, isn't it?
