The True Path of Pirates

City of the Queen of Spring - Santa Pobra.

As a famous tourist island on the first route of the "Paradise", Spring Island Santa Pobla has been protected by the navy for a long time, so it has not been affected too much. Most of the residents have developed a good impression of the changes and the navy.

However, as time went by, the chaos caused by the changes continued to subside, and it was finally time for the navy stationed here to leave.

On a warship docked in the harbor, two young naval officers, a man and a woman, were standing on the bow deck, smoking cigarettes and listening to the phone seriously.

The two of them are Smoker and Tina, who are currently rear admirals, and are also the persons in charge of guarding Santa Pobla and surrounding islands.

"Okay, I understand, I will arrange evacuation quickly."

Smoker answered the phone bug in his hand and hung up the phone, but the expression on his face didn't look so pretty.

"call……"

Tina took out the cigarette from her mouth, exhaled a long burst of smoke, and then looked at Smoker with a half-smile.

"It seems that we have also been divided into the 'white' camp. Mr. 'White Hunter' is very suitable, but Tina is not. Tina is very sorry."

"Haha, after abolishing the 'Eagle and Dove', they started to form a party around the 'Four Generals'. They are actually just a bunch of idiots!"

"There is nothing we can do about it, not to mention our relationship with Redden. It would be strange not to be classified under his command. Smog, do you have other ideas?"

"Idea? As long as it allows me to kill the pirates! But - in comparison, I am more interested in that guy Ryden."

"Ah~"

Seeing Smog's arrogant expression, Tina couldn't help laughing, and her laughter also made Smog a little embarrassed. She was about to defend herself, but she heard the phone bug in her hand call again. It rang.

"Bru—Bru—"

Smoker couldn't help frowning because of the "unpleasant" phone call he made last time.But when he saw clearly the appearance of the phone bug in his hand, his brows suddenly widened, and even Tina beside him smiled with surprise...

……

Near Marineland, a naval training camp island.

Since a few years ago, former Navy Admiral Zefa has not participated in any conference activities at all, and only devoted all his efforts to teaching.

The training methods of training camps have also changed over the years - from the original high-quality, low-quantity to high-quantity, hierarchical teaching.

This has also led to the fact that although there have been no more general-level graduates such as "red, yellow, green and white" in recent years, they have trained more high-quality officers, so much so that the world government has become coveted and wants to take over them. Come to Zefa's training camp.

But their thoughts failed to do so.On the one hand, although Zefa lost real power, he became stronger and directly rejected their demands.On the other hand, many of the students Zefa has taught over the years have become fully fledged and have even become a force that the government is afraid of!

At this time, in Zefa's office, Zefa and Ruiden, an old man and a young man, were sitting across from each other, drinking tea. They were just listening to the phone calls. The disciples were so busy that Zefa didn't know how to describe it. I can only look at him helplessly...

"Well, that's probably it. You go to investigate first and report any situation at any time."

Ruiden hung up another phone call, smiled sheepishly at Zefa, raised his teacup and raised it to him.

"I'm sorry, teacher. I originally planned to come and chat with you when I'm not busy, but unexpectedly a lot of things happened. It's really..."

"It's okay, it's normal to be busy - was that boy Smog just now, right?"

"Yes, it's him."

"Well...this kid has actually become reliable. It's really not easy..."

Zefa took a sip of tea and couldn't help but think of the past, so he couldn't help but joke.But before the smile lasted long, a bitter sadness appeared on his face.

"Archie...what happened?"

Zefa's question seemed a little cautious, as if he didn't want to embarrass Ruiden, but he couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart.

Ruiden had already expected this, but he could only smile bitterly, pick up the teapot and refill Zefa's tea.

"Although I anticipated some things in advance, things happened like that after all. There is no difference between what I know and what the teacher knows."

"Alas... one Pan Peko and one Archie, what a great trick, Wan Guo!"

Zefa shook his head and raised his glass to drink water. His eyes seemed to be closed because he couldn't bear it.But after pondering for a moment, he opened his eyes again, and the severity of the teacher was in his eyes.

"What you and Warring States planned have basically come true! So what do you plan to do after this? Directly have a 'showdown' with the government?"

Zefa's inquiry was very direct and went straight to the essence of the problem.Ruiden did not answer immediately. After all, he has become more stable and mature now.

It wasn't until he finished drinking a cup of tea and put down the cup that Ryden raised his head to look at Zefa, and then shook his head in the other's expectant eyes.

"It's not the time yet... After so many years, with a deeper understanding, I understand one thing better - the power of the government is much stronger than what he showed!"

"But if this is the case, the Navy will always be able to eat the leftovers - after this withdrawal, how much can the Navy eat from the six routes of 'Paradise'?"

"According to calculations, the government should get more than 4%, powerful countries and other forces will get 2%, several Shichibukai will get 2%, and the rest is ours."

"Too little, too little! In this way, our navy has tried its best, but only gained this little?"

Zefa was a little confused and felt worthless for the navy.But Ruiden smiled and spoke to comfort Zefa.

"This operation itself is not all about profit, or profit is only the second most important thing. What's more, the navy can't eat [-]%, but can only eat [-]%!"

"Only [-]%? The navy's 'appetite' is so small now?"

Zefa became even more puzzled after hearing this.As an older generation naval leader, he is not ignorant of the strength of the World Government, but at the same time he is even more proud of the strength of the navy.Now that he heard Ruiden's "self-defeating" speech, his temper suddenly rose.

Looking at Zefa's expression, the bitterness on Ruiden's face became more intense, and his voice became helpless.

"Teacher, the navy is no longer as united as it was a few decades ago...compared to external threats, internal stability is the most important thing right now..."

"..."

Ruiden's words suddenly exposed Zefa's resentment, and he was instantly discouraged. He could only shake his head and sigh in self-mockery, looking even more like a depressed old man.

But Ruiden stood up, walked directly behind Zefa, gently tapped his back with his hand, and whispered to him softly.

"The 'appetite' of the navy can only be so, but the 'appetite' of teachers and students is surprisingly big!"
