Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

Marine Headquarters Marinevando.

Old man Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru stared at Garp, who was picking his nose, with strange expressions on their faces.

This guy actually took the trouble to manage the affairs of the Grand Line.

"Stop picking your nose and tell me what happened. Why did you send Jonathan to Gaya Island?" Lieutenant General He asked angrily.

"Maybe it has something to do with the Dream Expedition Team." Zhan Guo said after glancing at Garp.

It has been three days since the Dream Group left Alabasta, and they are almost at Gaya Island. Apart from the Dream Group, Garp is not paying attention to anything else now.

"And he also asked Jonathan to take 300 million Baileys..." Lieutenant General He added.

"What?"

"Three hundred million Beli? Garp! What on earth do you want to do?" Sengoku immediately became nervous after hearing this number.

After all, this is not a small number!

“Wahahahaha~~~” Karp suddenly burst into laughter.

"Actually, it's because Ling Yan and his crew captured a group of pirates on Gaya Island, which is closest to the Navy's G8 branch, so I sent Jonathan over to deal with it." Garp explained indifferently.

"Are you sure you are talking about the pirates from Gaya Island?" Sengoku said coldly.

"That's right, what's wrong?" Karp asked in the same cold voice.

"It's nothing. It's not me who did it anyway. You don't have to worry about those people causing trouble for you." Zhan Guo said lightly and retracted his gaze.

“Wahahaha~~~”

"When have I ever been afraid of them? Now I'm gone. I haven't been back to see my grandson for a long time..." Karp laughed calmly.

"what?"

"Are you going back to see your grandson again?"

"Damn it Garp, come back here!" Only when Garp walked out of the marshal's office did Zhan Guo react and immediately yelled towards the door.

“e=(′o｀*)))Alas~~~”

"I'm really worried about Garp's temper~~~" Vice Admiral Tsuru let out a long sigh.

Hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's sigh, Zhan Guo put away his anger and slowly sat down.

"It's okay. If they have any problems, just come to me and I will take care of it. Besides, Ling Yan and the others are not simple people either, so we don't need to worry too much." Zhan Guo said in a deep voice.

"They are indeed not simple. Judging from recent events, they have great power in the World Government!

Zhan Guo, in my opinion, this incident can be blamed on the Dream Investigation Team, since they are the ones who received the bounty anyway." Lieutenant General He looked at Zhan Guo and suggested.

Zhan Guo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let them take care of it themselves!"

The reason why Gaya Island has become what it is now is actually because some people in the World Government and the Navy did it intentionally.

The reason why they do this is naturally to "raise the Gu"!

Because this place is remote and has few resources, basically not many ordinary people are willing to live here.

The navy is also not interested in this place and is too lazy to station here.

However, it is precisely because of this that this place has become a paradise for pirates.

Due to its remote geographical location and the fact that there are not many civilians here, the navy does not have to worry about its actions causing public dissatisfaction.

More importantly, this place is located in the first half of the Grand Route, making it very easy for the navy to control.

As long as there are a certain number of pirates on the island, the navy can go out and catch them all in one fell swoop.

However, these things have little to do with the Zhan Guo faction.

After all, the justice that they represented during the Warring States period was far from this kind of political manipulation.

In reality, the situation on Gaya Island was orchestrated by some high-ranking officials of the World Government.

Their purpose is to make money in this way and to get promotion for the navy of their faction.

Therefore, when the bounty on pirates on Gaya Island reaches a certain amount, the navy will launch a cleansing operation.

But they will only arrest pirates with bounties on their heads and will not destroy the local criminal soil.

In this way, these navies can gain military merit, and senior officials of the world government can also gain wealth.

Otherwise, given the situation on Gaya Island, which is in the first half of the Grand Line, the Navy would never tolerate these pirates being so arrogant there.

----

noon the next day.

Mogu Town, Gaya Island.

The warship of Vice Admiral Jonathan, commander of the Navy G8 Branch Base, is docked at the port of Gaya Island.

The moment the warship appeared, all the pirates on the island hid. Those who had been here for a long time already had experience.

Everyone knew that the navy would only capture captains with bounties on their heads and would not touch them, so they were not worried about what the navy would do to them.

When the Dream Group heard the noise, they immediately pulled the captains by chains and took them to the port.

"Lieutenant General Jonathan, I didn't expect it was you who came. When Lieutenant General Karp told me about this yesterday, I thought he was just talking nonsense.

There are only a few thieves here, and you, a lieutenant general, are really needed to deal with them..." Ling Yan shouted from a distance when he saw Jonathan.

Lieutenant General Jonathan looked at the scene in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Haha, they are thieves, but we are not planning to target them!

So I have to take action, otherwise even if the major general takes action, these petty thieves behind will be taken away."

Ling Yan walked up to Jonathan, handed him a list, and said with a smile: "Sir Lieutenant General, here is the list of pirates caught this time and the bounty. Do you have any questions?"

Jonathan took the list, read it carefully, and nodded: "Not bad, it seems that your operation was very successful!"

Ling Yan smiled and said politely: "Hehe, Lord Lieutenant General, thank you for your praise. We just did what we should do.

But we are really flattered that you came here in person!"

Jonathan waved his hand: "Haha, you don't have to be polite to me. Since you have captured the people, just hand them over quickly."

The handover procedures went smoothly.

Before leaving, Jonathan carefully observed the Dream Expedition Team. He had heard of this group of people, but this was the first time he saw them.

But he only knew that Vice Admiral Garp and his men valued them very much.

As soon as Jonathan's warship left the port, Nami happily put the three boxes of Bailey into the alien space.

"What Jonathan said just now was a bit strange..." Robin said quietly as he looked at the warship going away.

"Hey?"

"What's wrong with what he said?" Nami was a little confused.

Others also looked puzzled.

"Think back, didn't he just say that someone might pick up these thieves from behind, and even the Rear Admiral can't stop them?" Robin reminded everyone and asked.

"It seems that Jonathan said..." Dessa said after thinking for a while.

"To seize military merit?" Noqigao guessed.

"The navy is not a monolithic entity. Come on, Nami, let's draw the nautical map here today." Ling Yan said softly.

Everyone nodded. Indeed, that was none of their business.
