Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

“Yohoho….”

Brook, who had recovered, let out his signature laugh, but before he could say any more dirty words, Luo poked him in the ribs with his elbow.

Only then did Brooke notice Mo Xingchen sitting at the first seat, and he immediately stopped his suicidal behavior. He stood quietly beside Luo and acted as a door god.

Mo Xingchen did not scold Brook for his funny behavior, but handed the document signed by the Five Elders to the bear under his left hand.

"I just went to Marijoa and met with the Five Elders. They have already agreed to the Sea Train project.

Xiong, after you read it, please pass the file down."

"Yes, my lord."

Xiong nodded in response. Of course he knew something about the plan, so he read the document quickly and passed it on.

While the Seven Warlords of the Sea were reading the documents, Mo Xingchen was not idle either, and continued to speak:

"Let me first tell you about the Navy's strategic deployment for next year.

The Navy will temporarily abandon the second half of the Grand Line to free up the battlefield for the pirates. Therefore, the troops of the five naval bases from G1 to G5 will be recalled to the first half of the Grand Line to plow the ground and clean it up.

As for you, you should cooperate when the time comes and be polite. If some people are really pushing their noses and shoulders, you don't have to indulge them, I will take care of everything.

You are all experienced people, so you don’t need me to teach you how to do it, right?”

When everyone heard Mo Xingchen's last teasing, they all smiled.

"Fufufufufu~ Sir, we understand."

"Hehehe~ Don't worry, sir, we won't embarrass you."

After Doflamingo and Moriah spoke, the others didn't say anything more.

This is also one of the reasons why the Seven Warlords of the Sea are so obedient to Mo Xingchen.

The leader is very powerful and can bring them huge benefits. Moreover, they don’t have to endure any bullying by following Mo Xingchen. They can make money without doing anything.

How can we not respect such a good leader!

...

...

However, at this time, Jinpei, who had always been honest, stood up and bowed to Mo Xingchen, and said in fear:

"Jinbei has disappointed you, sir, because there are quite a lot of fish-man criminals that were found in this internal purge, and in order to defend against pirates returning from the New World, troops will also be needed on Fish-man Island.

So next year you may need to send the navy to maintain the stability of the shipping routes."

Mo Xingchen was a little surprised when he heard Jinbei's words. A lot of people were cleared out?

According to William's statistics, there are only about 3 to 40 people.

So I asked doubtfully:

“How many people did you clean up?”

"478 people."

Mo Xingchen's eyebrows twitched, and he thought for a moment, then seemed to understand a little.

Jinbe was probably afraid that the hard-won opportunity for the fishmen to live openly on land would disappear, so he ruthlessly cleared them all out, regardless of the severity of the crimes committed.

No wonder the Five Elders called him specially last time to praise him and said that the Celestial Dragons were very grateful for the gifts he had sent.

He was still wondering, aren't there just a few dozen fishmen? Is it necessary to make the Tianlong people so happy? There won't be enough to share!

I didn't expect that Jinbei, such an honest guy, could be so cruel.

"Get up."

Mo Xingchen smiled and shook his head. He was speechless when he looked at this simple and honest fathead fish. Then he continued:

"Jinbei, if you have nothing to do, learn from William and Kuma, or even Dover and the others, instead of working alone.

Since you want to lead the murlocs to coexist peacefully with humans, your subordinates cannot be all murlocs. You should appropriately recruit some humans that you like.

Only in this way can we promote the integrated development of two different types. If you, as the boss, do not take the lead, how can the people below you integrate into human society?

Is it all based on wishful thinking and sloganeering? "

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, sir."

Jinbei stood up, bowed to Mo Xingchen and thanked him before sitting back in his seat.

...

...

Mo Xingchen tapped the table carelessly with one finger. After the other seven warlords had finished reading the documents passed down, he thought for a moment and said again in a deep voice:

"Next year, your assessment criteria will not take into account the passing rate of pirates on the route, and the task of catching pirates will be entirely handed over to the navy.

I want you to ensure that the Sea Train project is carried out smoothly within your own route. If you encounter something you are not sure about, you can ask Xiong more.

I don’t care about the process, I only care about the result, understand?”

"I'll wait to understand."

The Seven Warlords of the Sea responded in unison, and the smarter ones could hear the implication of Mo Xingchen's words.

And for people like Doflamingo and Crocodile, there is even more to it.

Isn't this just a blatant robbery of money and territory? As long as the sea train project mentioned by the adults is completed, the potential for hidden operations is simply too great.

Mo Xingchen looked at the other seven warlords and began to think about what to do next to maximize his own interests.

There is a bighead carp with clear eyes, which seems out of place at this moment.

He shook his head helplessly, but still opened his mouth and said:

"Bear, please help Jinbe. I guess this idiot doesn't know what to do."

Jinbei opened his big Carol Lauder eyes, blinking at the bear, and thought to himself,

Isn't it just about talking to the kings of the countries along the route about the sea train business?

What's so hard about this?

Your Excellency really underestimates me!

But since Mo Xingchen said so, Jinbei is not stupid enough to do something like refutate his leader in public.

The meeting then continued. The Shichibukai who had done well this year would be rewarded, and those who had not done well would be punished.

Finally, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will talk about the problems on the routes that they cannot solve or are difficult to solve on their own and require the assistance of the Navy.

Mo Xingchen stood up, stretched himself, and said with a smile:

"Okay, that's about it. Next year will be very busy. Although the tasks are many and heavy, every time the world undergoes a major change, it is also an opportunity. You must seize it.

After a busy day, I'll treat you to a drink.

You are free to do whatever you want in the next few days. You can spend the New Year at the headquarters, stay a few more days or go back, it’s up to you.”

Then he said to the two gate gods who were watching their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses:

“Luo, go to town and book a hotel.

Brooke, go and call the brothers in the department together."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the meeting room.

After the serious business was discussed, the Seven Warlords of the Sea also knew their boss's temperament, so they no longer needed to keep a straight face. Instead, they followed Mo Xingchen, arm in arm, talking and laughing, and walked out of the door of the conference room.
