Chapter 65: The Warring States Telephone

  Returning to the 76th Branch, after throwing Kuro into prison and coming out, in the intelligence room, Monai held a stack of files and reported: "Master, you're back just in time. The soldiers I sent out to capture the remnants of the Black Cat Pirates have also come to report something to you."

  "It's still better to call me Commander for now." Hobodi nodded slightly towards the back, and Monet looked back, a blonde woman with a golden ratio figure standing ten meters away.

  "Hehehe~" Mona couldn't help but laugh mysteriously.

  "Alright, you said there's something you need to tell me, what is it?" Hobbit asked.

  Monet straightened up and handed the documents to Hobadi: "This is a message from the pirate group that was just sent by our department's fax phone worm."

  "Kreiker Pirates?" Hobodi took it and his face was somewhat surprised: "They went to the Great Route, and just less than a month later, they came back from the Great Route? What's the reason for sending this information to me?"

  "According to the Navy Intelligence Department, General Warring States will personally call in a while..." Mo Nai's words had just fallen when the telephone bug in the intelligence room rang with a buzzing sound.

  "It seems just right." Monet's eyes opened, and he tactfully left.

  Monet left and closed the door of the intelligence room. After Holbrodi was left alone in the entire room, he connected the phone bug: "Hello, I'm Holbrodi."

  "It's Warring States!" came a stern voice from the opposite side.

  "The Warring States general has been missing for almost two years."

  "You will see it soon. I agree with the report from Bran New, but you need to bring out sufficient evidence." The Warring States General said.

  "Hmph, now the Ba Jie Ke Luo of the East Sea is in my prison, then who was the 'Ke Luo' that was executed three years ago?"

  "Is what you're saying true?" A loud bang on the table came from across the way.

  "Hmm. This is undoubtedly a great shame for the Navy, and even you, Shogun of Warring States, didn't expect to appoint someone who was put to sleep by pirates as the highest official in charge of guarding the sea, and that guy even abused his power to rule over Yozuba Island for three years before being freed?" Hobopdi said with a hint of mockery.

  "That's enough, kid." The Warring States period horse snorted: "I know you're dissatisfied with me sending you to the East Sea, but if we're talking about pursuing responsibility, I have a lot of complaints about you too. For a whole year and a half, patrolling the islands within your jurisdiction in a 100-meter radius, you managed to do it, huh."

  "As long as the residents' safety is guaranteed, it's all right, isn't it?"

  "If we were to pursue it, you could be charged with a serious offense that affects the Navy's reputation. As for the Monka incident, I would have promoted you based on merit, but let's take a step back from this issue. I came to see you about something else."

  Ginger is still spicy when it's old, especially when Warlord stands at the highest position in the Navy. After a round of debate, both sides' argument ended with Warlord's authority crushing victory.

  "Did you see the fax I had Brannew send over just now?" The Warring States General continued, "The Krieg pirates are currently in the Sambass waters under your jurisdiction."

  "A pirate with a bounty of less than 2 billion Berries, is he worth the attention of a Shichibukai like you?" Hobopodi asked in puzzlement.

  "The key is not how the Creek Pirates are, but who destroyed their pirate group. Look at that document below..."

  Hobodi opened the file and in the last column of the intelligence on the Creek Pirate Gang, he saw that name and couldn't help but narrow his pupils.

  "Jorah Mormont... is Eddard Stark?"

  "That's right, that man went to the East Blue, I don't know what he's doing, but as one of the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' and also the 'World's Greatest Swordsman', it's worth our Navy paying attention. Your mission this time is to keep an eye on Eagle Eye, and then report to me the person he's interested in, and the things he's interested in. Can you do that?"

  "No problem." Hobodi responded, then changed the subject: "But to ask boldly, regarding the matter of Monka and Kuro in the Donghai base, General Warring States, what position do you plan to promote me to?"

  "Hmph, capturing a 160 million Beri pirate is already the limit for a Lieutenant Colonel. You've been slacking off for two years, your strength should have increased quite a bit by now? From now on, if you want to continue getting promoted, do more justice-maintaining things in the Grand Line, and I'll consider your military achievements when it comes to your position." The Shichibukai's tone was somewhat displeased.

  "Hey, aren't you going to give me Moka's military achievements?"

  "That incident will affect the reputation of our navy, so it won't be reported widely. And you, Kuro, must secretly take care of it! Absolutely cannot let the world know that a pirate who has already been captured and executed comes back to life again. You should also understand the importance of this matter, don't quibble about it anymore, that's all." Bang--- The War Country directly put an end to this topic, then hung up the phone.

  Coming out of the intelligence room, Hoboldi ordered Monet at the door: "The situation of all members of the Creek Pirate Regiment and their sighting intelligence, you quickly sort it out."

  "Is this what you're talking about?" Monet flipped through the documents in his hand: "Regarding their eyewitness intelligence, fishermen and bounty hunters from the Porsta Islands near the Sambas Sea have provided us with information. The captain of the ship, 'Admiral' Creek, has a bounty of 17 million Berries, is fully equipped with armor and hidden weapons, and possesses superhuman strength. His deputy, the combat commander of the pirate fleet, is said to be a ruthless character second only to Creek, known as 'Ghost Man' Jin, wielding a pair of iron-ball-tipped, club-like weapons that are likely of the striking type. Others include Iron Wall Bara, advisor Ediman, and martial arts instructor Haslo. After being ambushed by Eagle Eye on the Great Route, they suffered a crushing defeat and returned. Currently, they should be around the famous restaurant Barati in the East Sea."

  "You really were well-prepared from the start, weren't you? You anticipated what I needed and choosing you as my secretary was indeed a brilliant decision on my part. You're getting better and better, Monet!"

  Monet was taken aback, but the master wouldn't normally be like this. However, when she saw the murderous gaze that seemed to have been cast from behind her, she understood and smiled knowingly: "Thank you for your compliment, Commander. Shall we go to the cafeteria together today?"

  "Hey!" The blonde woman behind him suddenly couldn't bear it, immediately walked up and pointed at Monet: "Lord Hoboldi, who is this gaudily dressed woman?"

  "Flirtatious?" Hobodi was taken aback, his gaze sweeping over Monet's short skirt that clung to her figure, then shifting to Faye's enticing curves accentuated by the crimson suspenders.

  "Are you and she wearing similar clothes?"

  "Hmmph! I won't disturb you anymore. Commander... sir!" Mona threw a flirtatious glance as she walked away, and when she brushed past Hoborty, she whispered in a low voice: "I've already reserved a table for you at the Barati restaurant, and the route of the Eagle's Flight should be heading there. And I told the owner to prepare the Uitrus Brookstern red wine, that kind of red wine can stimulate women's hormones, so take good care, have a nice date, master!"

  "Fuyi, you just arrived in Donghai and haven't eaten yet, right? The cuisine at Barati Restaurant is said to be very good, I've already booked a table. Since it's impossible to get rid of this woman and can't interfere with the mission, if we exclude Hobodi's lingering attachment to 'Gar', Monet's plan is already perfect."

  "Really? Lord Hoboldi still remembers what I said during our conversation one year, eight months and six days ago, five hours ago......" Fuyinix's hands covered her mouth, and tears of emotion flowed from her watery eyes.

  Hobbiti didn't know what to say about this delicate date and felt a headache, so he walked away: "Let's go, we'll take the warship."
