The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The future journey has come to a temporary end. The cleanup work after the major incident is gradually proceeding, and the Navy is actively coordinating the aftermath of the loss of personnel.

The first was the Chagos Archipelago, which suffered the heaviest losses. After the tsunami, only one tenth of the area was survivable, and most of the survivors had relatives and friends who were missing in the shipwreck.

Most of the properties of the indigenous people here were completely destroyed. There were always some lucky ones who retained their properties, but they were inevitably envied and had their properties robbed by competitive pirates, which eventually led to their deaths.

"Prepare for execution! Fire!"

As the navy captain's order to shoot was issued, the grassroots navy soldiers pulled the trigger and opened fire, executing the three criminals who had occupied the house and killed people on the spot in front of the public, achieving the best deterrent effect.

Among the three people killed by the navy, two of them were pirates with unclear minds who dared to commit murder on the navy's territory. The third person was the mastermind behind the incident.

His identity is somewhat special. Relying on his handsome face and excellent performance in bed, he is the husband of a female celestial dragon.

In the past, even a male favorite raised by the Celestial Dragons was nobler than an ordinary person. They could violate social order and morality at will, and no one would care if they committed serious criminal cases.

The navy is a violent agency that controls the sea, not an ordinary military, police, or special agent. There is no need to offend a Celestial Dragon for an ordinary person.

Ordinary people's lives are destroyed and they are implicated, and they can only choose two paths in the end: become pirates and join the pirates if they cannot defeat the other pirates, or become slaves of others and live a life worse than death.

This male favorite, relying on the favor of female celestial dragons, was able to run rampant in the Sabaody Archipelago, harming countless decent women. These craftsmen and small vendors could only swallow their anger and usually avoid him when they saw him.

I didn't expect that the other party would die so quickly today. His body was pierced by dozens of bullets and he was beaten into a human sieve. The bullets pierced through his flesh with explosive wounds and not even a complete corpse was left.

After executing the military order, the naval colonel arranged for the naval soldiers who were carrying out the execution to return to the camp. He left a few propaganda cadres by his side and began to explain the new policy of the naval marshal to the survivors of the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Marshal Altria knows that you have lost your family and loved ones, but we have survived and must look forward. We cannot continue to live in the sorrow of the past. You should think about how you can survive."

It is impossible for the Navy to be so kind as to distribute supplies to these refugees in the archipelago. Even if the Navy is rich, it is unlikely to make any practical effect by throwing supplies into the ruins of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The survivors who were shocked by the navy were all confused. Some of them even looked at the hole that appeared on the red soil continent. The surviving coating masters didn't know whether they would have jobs in the future or whether they could support their families with this skill.

Having lost part of the black industry and part of the entertainment industry, it is likely that the business of coating pirate ships will not be able to continue. With all three sources of income cut off, it will be difficult to survive in the future.

"Will the Navy take us in?"

"If the navy doesn't accept us, we only have one way to go, and that is to be recruited by the pirate group."

The remaining Chabaoti Archipelago cannot support such a large population, and this island formed by tree roots is not very suitable for farming, and there are not many animals and plants on the island.

Fortunately, some roots of the Yarchiman mangrove tree still remain on the sea surface, otherwise these survivors would not even have a place to stand. The roots can continue to produce resin and make everything related to bubbles.

The last remaining islands are numbered 65 to 79. They are relatively densely populated islands. The navy does not need too many people to enter Rome at the moment, and the Admiral of the Navy believes that the Sabaody Archipelago, a natural forward base, should be retained.

"You don't have to worry about housing. A construction team will come to survey the area in a while and help you strengthen the Argiman mangroves and expand the land area of ​​the Sabaody Archipelago. But these are not free. You will have to pay taxes legally in the future."

The Sabaody Archipelago was originally the most famous den of money-spending in the first half of the Grand Line. Celebrities and wealthy pirates from all over the world would spend a lot of money here.

The amount of Bailey earned every day is an astronomical figure, but this money had nothing to do with the navy at the beginning. The World Government under the Celestial Dragons would send tax collectors who are proficient in mathematics to collect taxes from merchants in the Sabaody Archipelago door to door. The tax rate was frighteningly high, but it could barely maintain a decent life.

The Admiral's next intention was to think that the current Chabaoti Archipelago was too small to accommodate more population, and that it was necessary to increase the land area by reclaiming land.

The engineering machinery for land reclamation was developed by the navy when the city of Rome was expanded. The Tianjing No. 1 invented by Caesar Courant was a huge monster that dived into the sea.

Tianjing No. 1 can create one square kilometer of land every ten days by extracting and crushing rocks from the red soil continent. However, the newly created land needs to settle, and it will take another ten days or half a month before simple buildings can be built on the new land.

In the future, with land, we can absorb a large population and transform the Chabaoti Archipelago into an island with a strong commercial atmosphere. The dark business of human trafficking must be banned. This is all about making money that will exterminate our descendants. The Admiral will not let the navy be involved in this kind of black money.

The Chabaoti Archipelago may become a service transit station in the future, serving the ships passing through the front and back halves of the Grand Route. This prospect is very promising.

The hole that appeared on the Red Earth Continent runs through the front and back. In the future, ships will no longer have to sail under the sea. They only need to pass through the territory guarded by the navy. If they pay enough money to the navy, they will be allowed to pass and allow the pirates to enter the second half of the Grand Line.

Originally, the top naval officers disagreed with the admiral's view, believing that opening the hole would only boost the power of the emperor of the sea. When more supplies and personnel entered, the navy would only become weaker and weaker.

However, Artoria Pendragon believed that it was better to guide than to block. If most people really wanted to be pirates, the navy would not be able to stop them even if they put a knife to their necks. They would try every possible way and use various channels to enter the second half of the Grand Line.

Even the navy guarding the sea routes may be corrupted by wealthy businessmen and pirates, and some dirty money may flow into personal pockets. In the long run, the only one who suffers is the navy headquarters. It would be better for the navy headquarters to fight for this money.

Collecting tolls from passing ships is aboveboard and can open up new sources of revenue for the current naval system and greatly improve the navy's financial problems. Justice spoken with words but without money will not last long.

Altria Pendragon still continues her realistic policy, striving for every possible benefit. To outsiders, the navy has changed.

The navy is out of the control of the Celestial Dragons. The navy is strange to outsiders, but also very rational. It does not fight for the gains and losses of the moment and builds its own century-long plan.
