Chapter 11: Do you remember the Rocks Pirates?
"Leave the matter of Bullet to Garp. Sengoku, please take a look at this information. I think this is more important."
Fleet Admiral Kong pulled a report from the drawer and pushed it to the edge of the desk. Sengoku walked over and picked it up to take a look, and his expression suddenly changed in surprise.
"This is going to be a big problem!"
"Have you found out who spread the rumor? This matter must be taken seriously!"
Fleet Admiral Kong shook his head and sighed: "This is the information sent from Cipher Pol. They haven't found the source yet. They only know that not only is this information being spread in the Grand Line, but also in the Four Seas."
"If so, then this rumor is definitely not an accident, but a long-planned action by someone, and there are many people. Only in this way can it spread to all sea zones almost at the same time!"
"The great treasure of 'Pirate King' Roger, One Piece"
He seemed to have guessed who could do it.
Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle
Imu was sitting on the Empty Throne, looking at the Five Elders who were kneeling.
But his face became colder than before, and his originally cheerful mood was now extremely angry.
Regarding the rumors about the great treasure 'One Piece', he received the information faster than the navy, this was the main reason why he met the Five Elders again.
There is no reason not to take this matter seriously!
"It must be Roger's crew members who are spreading rumors. Roger should have told them before he died, but what is the purpose of doing this?" said Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, who was kneeling on the far left.
He is the head of Cipher Pol and basically all matters related to intelligence are under his control.
"The Great Age of Pirates!"
Imu from the Empty Throne said those words coldly. he had just found a way to block Roger's mouth during the execution. He thought that he could stop this from happening, but he didn't expect that the latter still had that hand.
Although this method of spreading rumors around the world through the crew is much less shocking and influential than a loud shout during a public execution, the attraction of the great treasure of 'One Piece' has not changed itself, it just needs more time. to spread and ferment.
He could already see everywhere in the sea, countless young people and adults, shouting 'One Piece', setting sail and pouring into the sea, sailing towards Reverse Mountain.
The Five Elders felt heavy when they heard the words Imu said. Among the futures I briefly introduced earlier, there was something about the era of the great pirates.
It is said that it was a time when the number of pirates was so great that not even the current navy could suppress them.
For eight hundred years, the sea under the control of the World Government has maintained relative calm and order, although there have been occasional riots. However, the era of great pirates unleashed by Roger has caused the entire sea to be in absolute chaos.
The Five Elders also thought that this kind of thing could no longer happen in the future, but now, I must say that both they and Imu underestimated this 'Pirate King'.
"We should order the kings of the participating countries to strictly control the people of their kingdoms who go to sea and let the naval branches everywhere increase patrols. At the same time, let Cipher Pol arrest those who "They dare to spread rumors, as a warning to everyone."
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, who was kneeling second from the left, holding the Shodai Kitetsu, suggested with a fierce expression.
The other four nodded in agreement, his approach was exactly the same as Nusjuro's, which was suppression and erasure.
But Imu, who is sitting on the throne, knows that his methods will not work. The ocean in this world is too big. Although the navy has many people and many warships, it is difficult for them to patrol the vast sea.
Sensing that Master Imu did not agree with his proposal, the Five Elders also fell silent for a moment.
I thought for ten minutes and finally spoke.
"These people who went to sea to become thieves because of rumors, their main goal is the so-called great treasure, and their destination is the 'New World'. From the Four Seas to the first half of the Grand Line, and then from the first half of the Grand Line to the 'New World', two nodes must be traversed."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, who knelt second from the right and had a horrible scar on the left side of his face, responded. "You mean Reverse Mountain and Fishman Island?"
Of course, he wouldn't say that Mary Geoise is one of the nodes. Just kidding, how could it be possible to allow pirates to enter the 'New World' around here? So, it could only be Fishman Island located 20,000 meters below Mary Geoise, in a crevice at the bottom of the Red Line.
"That's right, if a naval branch is established at the entrance of the Reverse Mountain to intercept and verify the identities of incoming ships, it can directly block the influx of pirates from all over the world to the Grand Line."
This idea of Imu arose from the maritime customs of his previous life. Reverse Mountain's geographic environment can make a maritime customs function almost seamlessly.
If a ship wants to enter the Grand Line from the four seas, there are actually two ways, one is to take the Calm Belts and the other is to take the Reverse Mountain.
Of course, if you are strong enough, you can pass through the Calm Belt, but among the pirates around the world, how many of them can pass through the Calm Belt?
"Well... This idea is very feasible." said Saint Marcus Mars.
"That's right, and not only can a naval branch be established at the foot of the Reverse Mountain in the Grand Line, but a naval branch can also be established at the entrance of the Four Seas, or several warships of permanently as the first checkpoint."
Said Saint Topman Warcury, who kneeled in the middle and has a spot on his forehead, it seemed that once he had a direction to solve the problem, many new ideas arose in his mind.
"It's a good idea, but..." Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro hesitated.
Imu's eyes turned to the other party. "Don't hesitate, you can talk about it freely."
"It's just that this requires the navy's high-level combat power to be mobilized, in addition to stationing several troops on the Reverse Mountain branch. On the other hand, they have to deal with countless ships from the four sea areas. If "They want to inspect them one by one, they need a space that is big enough. The base of the navy branch has to be able to accommodate the docking of so many ships and the people who come on them."
"At the same time, there can be no shortage of government personnel responsible for inspections and navy administrative personnel stationed at the branch. They must have a place to live, but there doesn't seem to be any suitable island near the foot of the mountain."
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro said what he had in mind, and I also secretly nodded. In fact, this is a topic that cannot be ignored.
The remaining Five Elders thought hard. What would they do if there was no island? They couldn't build an island from nothing.
They also considered whether the first island of the first half of the Grand Line could be used as a naval branch, but it was a bit far from the entrance to Reverse Mountain.
Although it is possible to send warships to wait at the entrance in advance and then urge the ships to go to the island for inspection, this is not only very troublesome, but also has a high possibility of accidents.
They don't believe that those guys who go to sea to become thieves will honestly accept these provisions. They will probably run away by force, but how many warships can stop them?
At that moment, Imu had a flash of inspiration, this idea made him a little excited, but he had to maintain the superficial indifference of him.
