"Colonel Dado? I am King Bekoli of the Solbe Kingdom. There is a group of criminals trying to seduce my people. I suspect they are pirates!
We need the navy's assistance, otherwise the factory may not be able to start on time!"
Beckley deleted most of the content that was unfavorable to him, fabricated some facts at will, and began to talk nonsense.
In his words, population migration has become pirate plunder.
"I won't go back on my promise to you. After this is done, I will give you a generous gift."
At the same time, in the 95th branch of the Navy, a Marine called Colonel Dado looked at Den Den Mushi awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
"Colonel Dado? Why are you silent?"
"Ah, it's nothing. I'll take people there right away, King Bekoli, don't worry."
Dado hung up the Den Den Mushi after saying this. Bekoli's attitude was considered polite. Generally speaking, the kings of the allied countries would not need to be so polite to ordinary navy members.
However, not long after Becoli took the throne, although Dado was only a colonel of a nearby branch, he had real military power and could order the navy of this branch to act nearby.
He was so polite in order to be able to ask the navy to help suppress any turmoil in the country in the future.
After preparing his backup plan, Becoli immediately led the guards to the direction of the factory. In the 95th branch, Dado felt a little uneasy at this time.
"Colonel Dodori, this is just normal social interaction and you have to understand me.
After all, he's the king of a member state, I can't just reject him outright."
Although he was also a colonel, Dado was sweating profusely at this moment because the person in front of him, Dodori, was a colonel of the Navy Headquarters.
The G branch navy of the Grand Line is on the same level as the headquarters, but the navy of the four seas is naturally three levels lower than the headquarters. This is a gap caused by the strength of the sea area.
In Sihai, colonel is basically the highest military rank, and only a few people can reach the position of brigadier general. However, brigadier general in the Sihai branch generally means no hope of promotion, and one can only retire in Sihai for the rest of his life. At the same time, this is also the highest military rank in Sihai.
Compared with Dado, Dodori can be said to have a bright future.
Dado was able to become a colonel because he could only be a colonel, and Dodori was a colonel of the headquarters because he had just graduated from Zefa's special training camp and lacked the merits for promotion.
If Dodori writes a letter of denunciation to the headquarters, he will be finished.
The Four Seas are indeed a weak area under the jurisdiction of the navy, with many evildoers, but it is not yet the era of great pirates, and the overall quality should be stronger.
And even if no one can see it, if no one covers up for them and it is really reported to the higher-ups, they will still be dealt with by the inspectors sent by the headquarters.
"It's okay, Colonel Dado, you don't have to explain this to me. It just so happens that my mission is also to go to the Kingdom of Solbe to deal with some trivial matters. Let's go together."
"Okay, let's go then."
Dodori's reason was very reasonable. Dado had no possibility of refusing and could only pray to God that Bekoli could be more normal.
He is the king of a member state, and there are less than 200 kings in office in the world. If something goes wrong, there is still a chance to make amends, but he can't do that.
Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Solbe, Ginny was still giving repetitive explanations.
"Is there anyone left? This is the last chance, if you don't sign up now you won't have another chance!
The nature of the work won't change, but the salary will double. The new king here won't give you this opportunity. He's only thinking about exploiting you!"
At any time, contrast can better arouse emotional resonance. Simply promoting the welfare effects after relocation is not obvious, but with Beckley as a comparison, everything becomes much simpler.
If it were during the time of Burdog, people would still be skeptical of these words, but after Beckley came to power, his stingy behavior has made some people lose confidence in him.
"But you have to think carefully. We are going to a new island in the Grand Line. There is nothing there, so the early stages will be very difficult. I can guarantee that your rewards will be worth it, but the journey will not be smooth sailing!"
Oran doesn't need all of these people to have a strong spirit of resistance. After all, he doesn't want to directly drag these people to rebel, but he needs some constructive people, not people like Den Den Mushi who just want to lie down.
Rather than tricking them and letting them complain later, it is better to make it clear in advance.
The rest of the people didn't react much. Ginny had said similar things for several days. Those who had ideas had already taken action a few days ago and had almost packed their luggage by now.
They have to endure hardships in the early stages, but once the construction is completed, they will at least be veterans. If they can become foremen, they will be much better off than ordinary workers. Most people are more afraid of poverty than suffering.
Many pirates go out to sea these days because they can no longer survive in their impoverished hometowns. Under the temptation of profit, there are still many who respond.
"Olan, there probably aren't many people left. Including their families, there are only about 300 people left."
Seeing that no one responded, Ginny returned to the lounge next to the factory. It was already time for morning tea.
Originally, there was no such process in her life, but Leliana did. In addition to the three daily meals, Leliana also had two afternoon teas and one midnight snack in the intervals between training.
Ginny agreed with this lifestyle and quickly became friends with Leliana.
"Mmm~ Delicious, Oran, your daughter lives a very happy life. Even with such a big appetite, she can still eat a full stomach every day."
Bear's happiness is to see everyone happy, but Ginny's happiness is actually simpler, just to have enough to eat, which is not an easy thing for her with such a big appetite.
"You and the bear have been living pretty well, haven't you? Could it be that the bear has been starving you all these years?"
"No, Xiongzai would rather not eat himself than let me eat more. Besides, since your factory is doing well, you should have enough to eat. I just won't eat as finely as you do. What are you looking at?"
"I don't think Morgans has much news to report in the latest newspapers. He even brought up things from last year."
[Wald's remnants are still at large, and the Navy's ability to execute them remains to be seen.]
The captain of the Wald Pirates is Bondi Wald, known as the World Destroyer. He has a bounty of 200 million berries and is a very difficult character.
However, last year, agents sent by the World Government successfully infiltrated the pirate group and stabbed Wald in the back when Wald was fighting with the navy. At this time, Wald had been arrested and imprisoned, and only the remaining cadres were still on the run.
Morgans always fabricates big news when there is no big news. However, compared with fabricating it out of thin air, it is easier to attract attention by making up rumors about people who are already well-known.
"Morgans? Now I remember, he's the reporter that Ivan dislikes. His newspaper is full of nonsense, but his short stories are pretty good."
"It's still a little bit off, he hasn't grasped the essence of fabrication, he should have created a tragic character.
Look at the playboy who dies of loyalty, the conspirator who dies of faithfulness, the thief who dies of dedication, the selfish man who dies of sacrifice, the sunflower who dies before dawn, and the weeds who die in the wind that no one cares about.
That's the only way to capture people's attention and finally make it into a coherent story."
"Olan, why don't you start a newspaper? I think you can do a better job than that Morgans."
What Orlan said next aroused Ginny's interest. Although there was no specific content, the framework was indeed more interesting than the news compiled by Morgans.
"Maybe I'll do it in the future. I don't have the energy right now. There are too many things to consider when doing those things."
"Olan! It's the Kingdom Army. Bekoli and his men have surrounded this place!"
While Orlan and Ginny were chatting, the bear came running in.
[Pirates inside, listen up! You've illegally kidnapped Solbe citizens and violated Solbe Kingdom law! Release the hostages now! You still have a chance to escape before the navy arrives!]
Beckley's staff held an iron loudspeaker and shouted words that were incomprehensible to Oran.
The definition of pirates in this ocean is actually very broad. Generally speaking, if the king of a member country or the commander of a naval base slanders you as a pirate, it is basically impossible to clear your name.
If you surrender, you won't even have a chance to explain.
If they resist and attack the navy and allied countries, this will only confirm their identity as pirates. The World Government will not invest energy in such a small character.
Beckley has his own way of doing things. He first transforms himself from an evil exploiter into a righteous savior.
"This guy is really talking nonsense."
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Orlan sat up helplessly. He was not worried about not being able to clear his identity. He was a friendly partner of the navy. If he was really put on a pirate bounty order, the navy would probably have to apologize to him first.
However, Becoli's move aroused Oran's interest. He wanted to see what other tricks this guy could use.
"How is that possible! There are no pirates here! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"That's right, we all left with the factory director voluntarily, don't talk nonsense!"
Several backbone workers of the factory were the first to make up their minds to leave with Orlan and others, so Ginny entrusted them to manage other people who wanted to leave and help maintain order.
However, Bekoli did not hear these protests. Instead, he said coldly, "There are quite a few pirates. Let's kill a few of them first. This is also for the greater good. After all, I have to protect my people."
"Wait, King Bekoli! Those people are civilians!"
"I said shoot the pirates, don't you understand?"
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and King Bekoli suddenly flew backwards, with a silver fist stopping where Bekoli had originally stood.
"Where on earth did you come from, you idiot? Does King Bulldog have a relative like you?"
Orlan shook his arms. He didn't quite understand how such a fool could replace Bulldog and succeed to the throne here.
"What are you still standing there for? This guy attacked the royal family, he's a complete pirate! The navy is here too, you're doomed!"
Although he was punched, Bekoli was actually a little happy. With this punch, he felt that he could prove the other party's identity as a pirate, especially when he saw the navy approaching the shore, Bekoli felt that his great task was accomplished.
But what happened after that was beyond his understanding.
"Dr. Sidiliel, do you need any help?"
The navy that came from afar did not cooperate with his actions, but instead saluted Orlan.
