Chapter 139: Real Fun
During this time away from home, nothing happened in the East China Sea, except that the goods sent to the four seas were temporarily piled up because of the absence of Big Bear. The following is still doing what needs to be done.
Come to think of it, it is right, given the current situation in the East China Sea...
Unless a pirate with the qualifications of the Four Emperors appears, otherwise, the newly born pirates... As long as they come to make trouble, with the current strength of the 16 branches of the Navy, they will be caught.
Now, apart from being a pirate with the tail between the legs, they can only go to the other half of the East China Sea, or bravely venture into the Grand Line.
Therefore, although there are pirate riots, it is not a big problem!
As for the member states...
They are all surrounded and can't make any waves. Now a group of nobles are in the castle, and they can't do anything except live their own noble lives.
If you can't sue, report to the navy...The largest navy in this sea area is either Xia Che or he is related to Xia Che, so it's useless to report to the navy.
Moreover, Xia Che, who is familiar with the laws and regulations of the member countries of the World Government and the rights and obligations of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, will not give them a chance to report.
Therefore, compared with the pirates who appear from time to time, the troubles on the member countries are smaller.
There is nothing much except that a few civilians come from time to time and bring their kingdom guards to make a few words.
The only slightly more serious problem is probably...
A senior carpenter who went to work on an island near the Kingdom of Goa suddenly disappeared.
At the final destination, it was discovered that a person was missing on the ship. It is suspected that he was lost when he disembarked and rested on the island halfway. The auditor, registrar and captain on the ship all suspected that he was taken away by pirates.
Because after the review and registration, the employee was short of money and could not even afford to eat. And because the foreman owed him a month's salary and bonus after the last work, this time, he went to the destination to collect debts and it was absolutely impossible to leave halfway.
After a rough investigation, it seemed that a wave of new pirates who had just gone out to sea appeared on the nearby island that day, so the investigator suspected that he was abducted by pirates.
I hope the branch can send the navy to help find the person back. The employee is conscientious and responsible in his work, proactive, and fully qualified for carpentry work. After review, he can be rated as a rare senior carpenter worker, and he is dedicated to his work, diligent and hardworking and is a very excellent employee.
When he saw this incident, Xia Che frowned immediately, and wondered in his heart which brainless little pirate dared to make trouble in this sea area?
You know...
Now this sea area has been occupied by the East China Sea Overlord - Mok and the Seven Warlords of the Sea - Bartholomew Big Bear, and the Navy Branch. It is not something that these little pirates who have just gone to sea can provoke. Therefore, there are still little pirates who dare to make trouble in his sea area?
And kidnap people?
Need I say this?
Beat!
Beat hard!
Just about to write a comment, but when he looked down and saw a familiar name, Xia Che fell silent.
Then he threw aside the slightly more important document that Robin Xiao Mi had sorted out from a pile of messy trivial matters and ignored it.
That kid...
Rather than being kidnapped by pirates, he believed that he might just be lost.
But.
Didn't he agree to work with him?
As a result, he has been in such a miserable state in the past few years. He would rather go out to work than come to rely on his senior brother?
How to say... He is really ambitious!
So, don't worry about him, just let him continue to hang out outside.
But...
Xia Che frowned and looked at Robin on the side, "Someone is still in arrears of wages?"
"Well, it has been investigated clearly. Because the work team was urgently mobilized that day, after the work was done, the foreman agreed to gather at the dock tomorrow morning, and then, when they were ready to be on the ship, they would pay everyone's wages." Hearing Xia Che's words, Robin also closed the book in her hand and looked up at Xia Che.
She also knew about the boss and Kuina's junior brother.
After all, she had seen that guy when the boss was learning swordsmanship at Isshin Dojo.
With a strange look in his eyes, he said, "So, his salary was not deducted, but..."
"..."
Although Robin didn't finish, Xia Che probably guessed what was going on. He raised his eyelids, nodded, and said, "I understand, no need to say more!"
"Do you need to arrange someone to find him?"
"If you look for him on the island on the day he disappeared, you might still find him, but it's been so many days, and now..." Xia Che sighed, "No need to look for him. With his ability, unless he shows up himself, ordinary people really can't find him!"
"Do you need to order someone to report him immediately if you find him?"
"No need! Don't worry about him, that guy is pretty good, there won't be any problem, since that guy doesn't want to come, let him be!" Xia Che waved his hand casually, "I believe Zoro will show up sooner or later."
With a slight smile on his face, "Maybe his swordsmanship will surprise Kuina and me by then?"
As he said, he seemed to remember something, "Also cancel the investigation of the foreman. As for the salary, remember to let the foreman pay it when he meets him!"
"Understood!"
"If there's nothing else, I'll go to Vegapunk now and see how Bonnie is doing."
After saying one more word to Robin, Xia Che turned around and left the office without disturbing Robin from reading.
But he didn't know.
Not long after he left.
A figure who also changed into a formal dress and showed a plump and mature figure came to the office, and as soon as she walked in, a voice full of temptation came.
"Fallen Colonel."
However.
As soon as the voice fell.
Miss Robin, who was reading a book, raised her head and glanced at her with a meaningful smile, "No need to look for him, he is not here."
"Really? What a pity." After hearing Robin's words, Violet, who was not wearing a dancer's dress but a formal uniform, was stunned. Then she shrugged her shoulders with a little regret, and looked at Robin again, "I came here specially to find him. Oh, sorry, I disturbed you, Miss Robin!"
"It's okay." Robin also turned sideways and looked at her with a smile, "Just don't look around!"
"Looking around? Was it about what happened last night in the room of the fallen colonel?"
"..."
"Isn't it? That's about the big-tongued old man under the ground on the next island?"
"..."After hearing Violet's words, Robin's smile froze slightly. How much did this guy read last night?
But she still smiled and said, "It seems that you have seen it."
She turned her head and continued to read her book, "Although he accepted you, I still have to say that I hope you can keep the secret here, otherwise, everyone will be very troubled."
"Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely keep it a secret~!" Violet smiled when she heard Robin's words.
She said this because she didn't intend to hide anything, and she also understood that this demon child knew what she meant in her heart.
That's right, she already knew the identity of this female pirate who she had misunderstood... or maybe she didn't misunderstand.
But she didn't expect that this demon child just reminded her briefly and didn't say anything else.
"Then I won't bother you." Violet said again, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, she seemed to think of something, looked at Nico Robin, narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled, "Senior, can I ask you one more thing?"
"What is it?"
"That... is the rumor about the fallen colonel true?"
"?!" Robin, who was reading a book, was stunned, and turned to look at Violet, as if he understood something. Suddenly, a meaningful smile appeared on his delicate face, and he licked his red lips slightly, and said with a seductive and playful tone, "Of course, he knows how to play!"
...
On the other side.
Vegapunk Experimental Base.
"Hehe!"
"Not in good health!"
"???"
Why do you say someone is not in good health as soon as you meet?
Do you know how to be polite?
