Chapter 424 Porusalino: In the East China Sea, Colonel Mouse’s Power Is Unmatched! He Wants to Eat Fish!
In the Goa Kingdom, which is known as the most beautiful country in the East China Sea, the great nobleman Altluk III, who has great power and is basically equivalent to the uncrowned king - Sabo's biological father, has just finished enjoying the feast in the palace. Luncheon.
He is very satisfied with his current life: he does not have to take unnecessary risks and responsibilities like the real king of Goa Kingdom, but he can still enjoy the same status and respect as the king...
The only pity is that his biological son, Ultrak Sabo, didn't know if he was possessed by the devil, but he actually had great resistance and disgust towards their aristocratic status and life, and secretly died a few years ago. Trying to escape the country in a small boat.
However, Altluk III later learned through the butler's investigation that Sabo's escape plan had not really succeeded. Because his boat ran into the fleet of the world's nobles who came to visit the East China Sea, and was mercilessly sunk by the world's nobles.
This news made him feel regretful but also lucky - unfortunately, he would never have the chance to train his disobedient son into a qualified heir in his mind; fortunately, the world's nobles did not pursue the reckless Sabo too much , their Altluk family was not implicated...
But in any case, after Sabo's accident, Altluk III also had to find a successor for himself and take charge of the future Altluk family - and at this time, another noble family that also belonged to the Goa Kingdom, Because of the failure of the investment in the Grand Line, the family fortune declined. Considering that the other party is considered a noble of the Kingdom of Lagoa and has a decent bloodline, and that although the other party's youngest son is young, he is very good at talking and has promised a lot to himself, Altluk III carried forward his great power. The nobles' compassion gave the other family a hand.
Since then, the noble family has completely become a vassal of the Altluk family, and the little child Staley was adopted by Altluk III and became his adopted son.
"Although His Majesty the King is still obedient as always, his queen doesn't seem to be very peaceful..."
"Humph, you stupid woman, have you forgotten who really calls the shots in this country?"
"It seems it's time for Staley to learn how to be a king..."
On the extremely luxurious carriage, Altluk III twirled his beard and said to himself - he did not deliberately control his voice because he did not feel that his words would be leaked by servants such as the coachman. And I don’t think there will be any bad consequences if this is leaked.
Just kidding, he is Orteluk III, one of the most powerful figures in the entire Kingdom of Goa and even the entire East China Sea - everyone from the king sitting on the throne to the ants in Gorbo Mountain must listen to his words!
The carriage stopped, and Altluk III stepped down on the servant's back.
"Um?"
The housekeeper who was supposed to be giving lessons to his adopted son Staley at this time was waiting for him respectfully.
"Sir, Colonel Mouse is here to visit you!"
…
When Altluk III arrived at the living room where Captain Mouse was waiting, he found that the powerful colonel of the East China Sea Navy was wandering around the room like a headless chicken. When he saw him, he came quickly as if he had found a life-saving straw. Come to him.
Colonel Mouse looked a little pale, and said in an urgent and panic tone:
"Your Excellency Altluk, please save me this time. Someone from our headquarters is coming!"
When Porusalino completed the "renewal work" at Navy Branch 721, he only kept it secret for a while. After the Dragon Pirates and the human pirates who had defected to the Dragon Pirates were eradicated, the great changes that had taken place in Navy Branch 721 were spread to the sailors and the villagers of Cocoa West Village who had lifted the confidentiality regulations.
Colonel Mouse, who was already feeling uneasy and worried because Colonel Okuri, Lieutenant Colonel Black and other 721 branch talkers failed to attend the "corruption meeting" on time and lost contact, now fell directly into great panic.
In the East China Sea, Colonel Mouse's power is naturally unparalleled, but compared with the Navy Headquarters and even the World Government, it is still nothing.
Of course, Colonel Mouse didn't know that Porusalino really had no idea of touching him at the moment, but planned to leave him to his eldest nephew Luffy, and then uproot a bunch of them. Otherwise, he will definitely increase the intensity of his mobilization activities and leave the East China Sea as soon as possible to other sea areas. Even becoming a naval lieutenant colonel would be good.
During this period of time, Mouse was in a constant state of panic. He had never thought about becoming a sailor and simply ran away quietly. But he has been the earthly emperor of the East China Sea Navy for a long time, and has been in contact with the great nobles of the countries that joined the World Government such as Alteruk III for so long. He can no longer part with his power and status - no matter how much money he has, it will be gone if it is gone. As a naval captain, without the protection of the sailors, it won't be long before ruthless pirates seek to make a fortune from him.
In addition, there has been no clear news from the headquarters during this period, neither saying what the representatives of the headquarters are doing, nor holding branch 721 accountable, which makes the mouse take chances. I imagine that the top brass of the headquarters will not attack a powerful colonel like him in the East China Sea because of the problems of the 721 branch, so as not to cause chaos to the entire East China Sea Navy and affect the stable situation.
But just in the morning, Mouse's contacts in the Grand Line told him that the representative of the headquarters who had just set off from Marinevando was not an ordinary character, but a fleet led by three lieutenant generals.
Mouse suddenly felt that the end of the world was coming. He believed that these three lieutenant generals, who were called small demon-slaying orders, came here mostly because the headquarters planned to take a heavy blow this time and deal with him, including him, with thunderous force. The corrupt top brass of the East China Sea Navy...
The mouse has been in contact with Altluk III for a long time and is very convinced of Altluk III's mind and connections. In addition, he was closely related to Altruk III, and the most benefits were conveyed between them, so he wanted Alteruk III to give him some advice and come up with some ideas - it would be best to directly use the other party's influence in the world government. This relationship can directly solve the problem he is currently facing.
However, Altluk III was, after all, a great nobleman who held the real power of the Kingdom of Goa. Although he had aristocratic problems, his vision was broader and he focused on another piece of information.
"Three lieutenant generals?"
Altluk III frowned slightly and confirmed, "Are you sure they are the three lieutenant generals?"
Seeing Colonel Mouse nodding, Altluk III asked: "Is there Lieutenant General Garp in there?"
——After all, Lieutenant General Garp is from the Goa Kingdom. Of course, Altluk III knew about him, and even tried to establish a relationship before, but Garp didn't pay attention to him at all.
"Yes, the other two are Lieutenant General Stoloberg and Lieutenant General Dalmecia."
The mouse quickly replied.
The mouse was afraid that Altluk III, who didn’t know much about the navy, would disapprove, so he quickly said:
"Needless to say, Lieutenant General Garp is a big shot and a naval hero who arrested the Pirate King. Stoloberg and Dalmecia are also elite lieutenant generals in this department and powerful figures. They are very difficult to deal with."
Altluk III did not speak. In fact, it was not that he did not understand, but that he was confused.
He is also nearly middle-aged, but since he can remember, except for the time before and after the execution of Pirate King Roger, the East China Sea has never been so lively as during this period, with so many big figures appearing frequently - you know, based on the level of the East China Sea, from the headquarters The colonels who come are all big shots here, let alone the more senior generals.
Of course, except for the world's nobles running around the world.
During this period, first the 721st branch of the Navy and most of the pirates in the East China Sea were cleared - it is said that Navy Admiral Kizaru appeared without anyone noticing.
Then it is said that a joint fleet from the Navy Headquarters and the World Government visited the East China Sea again, and Vice Admiral Garp was among them. Even with his own connections, Altruk III has not been able to find out what the situation is.
Then there was the representative sent by Marinefando suddenly this time, and he directly attacked the fleet led by three lieutenant generals.
If at the beginning, Admiral Kizaru suddenly appeared in the East China Sea Navy Branch 721, it was because the admiral himself had a very eccentric and casual style of acting, and there happened to be fish of the Great Route level in the East China Sea that the navy here could not deal with. If it were a human pirate, then Ultra Luke III could still understand.
But now, if according to what Colonel Mouse said, it was just to deal with the high-level corruption problem of the navy in the East China Sea, and it would be a bit strange for Marinefando to react so strongly and directly send three powerful lieutenant generals - and with such a big reaction, wouldn't it be? Should we take direct action while Branch 721 is being purged? The power of thunder should have both strength and speed. Such low efficiency also confused him.
Ottoluk III temporarily appeased Colonel Mouse, promising to find a solution for him as soon as possible, and extradite him to the Kingdom of Goa to serve as the captain of the palace guard when the situation was worst. But before that, he still needs to persist in the branch, pass on information, and wait for the possibility.
Just like the sunk cost of a rat in the East China Sea is too high, in order to expand his influence in the East China Sea Navy, Altluk III invested in many things and could not give them up easily.
After the mouse left, Altruk III asked the housekeeper and Staley to be called. After the two arrived, Altruk III told the steward what the mouse had just said, and expressed his confusion - Staley listened.
Altluk III can be sure that the fleet sent here by the Navy Headquarters is definitely not to solve the corruption problem of the East China Sea Navy. Not to mention that Admiral Kizaru personally handled the 721 branch here some time ago. In the peaceful waters where the bounty for pirates in the East China Sea is generally only tens of millions, and the highest rank of the navy is only colonel, what do the top brass of the Navy Headquarters think? How serious is the problem here, and how abundant is Marinefando's manpower, that they would directly send three lieutenant generals and a fleet?
"Maybe it's like what the master said, some big event happened here in the East China Sea that we don't know about?"
The butler pushed up his glasses and analyzed - he was a scholar with a good mind and a large reserve of knowledge. In addition, he was obsessed with the power and life of the nobles, so he served Alteruk III as both a butler and a think tank.
Alteruk III once asked for information from his contacts in the World Government because the joint fleet between the World Government and the Navy appeared in the East China Sea. However, the attitude of that person who had always been easy to talk to in the past was very wrong this time.
Not only did he tell Altluk III not to pry around, but he also asked him to pretend he didn't know anything. He also warned him that this matter was a big bomb that would blow the entire Kingdom of Goa into ashes.
Altruk III is also an old nobleman. He knows very well that guys with status and status like him often speak in exaggerated ways. For example, when he showed off his financial resources and connections, or when he took credit for solving someone's problems and describing the troubles involved. So he didn't take what was said there too seriously at that time. Although he did not take the initiative to understand, he didn't feel that What's the big deal.
But the current situation
"If there really is a big event in the East China Sea that we don't know about, and there is Vice Admiral Karp in the navy's fleet this time,"
The housekeeper analyzed one by one, "It is very possible that the location is in our Kingdom of Goa, or even the Windmill Village, the hometown of Lieutenant General Garp."
"After all, with Vice Admiral Garp's identity and status, he cannot actually be regarded as an ordinary Vice Admiral. The tasks that an ordinary Vice Admiral has to perform and the actions he needs to participate in are actually a waste of resources. He might actually be... Act as a guide, and although he is from the East China Sea, the only place he is familiar with in the East China Sea is probably his hometown."
"Windmill Village?"
Staley, who had been silent all this time, couldn't wait to speak in order to show his intelligence to his adoptive father and teacher: "I know there, there is nothing there, it is very poor and shabby! It belongs to the garbage heap that is insignificant and can be sacrificed at any time!"
Altruk III frowned and said:
"That shabby village. In order to show my goodwill to Lieutenant General Garp, I once proposed to build it up or move the villagers there, but neither the old man nor the untouchables in the village appreciated it. !snort!"
"If it's a windmill village, it doesn't really matter what happened or what is there in the windmill village."
The butler shook his head, and after taking a look at Staley, who was thinking too simply, he secretly lamented for countless times that this student and new heir of the Altluk family was indeed not as smart as the former Sabo, and continued, "The important thing is Yes, will the Navy's actions and reactions have an impact on the Kingdom of Goa, and will it have an impact on the Master and the Altluk family? No matter what the Navy plans to do, we should be prepared for the worst case scenario to avoid Caught off guard.”
"you're right,"
Oteluk III smiled when he heard this, "We have a king here. If the Kingdom of Goa is implicated for something, then he, the king, must give the World Government an explanation."
"It just so happens that I will find a way to make him leave the throne in a dignified way, sir."
"However, since the navy has such a big response, maybe the government will take action as well. I plan to ask about it."
