Chapter 44

Bribing cp4 and framing Marine is no small matter.

Marine is the face of the World government.

To frame Marine is tantamount to discrediting the World government.

Although Duke Richard is about to become the king of the Kingdom of Arthur, once this matter is made public, the consequences will be very serious.

So, Duke Richard was persuaded, and he hoped to be able to privately.

Minimize as much as possible.

So, Duke Richard immediately invited Oren and Garner to dinner.

Oren and Garner also accepted the settlement.

However, Oren is not willing to go to Arthur's kingdom.

Duke Richard is now being held accountable and has no substantive evidence to fight back. Therefore, he can only go to the port of Wilhelm.

Port of Wilhelm, 189 branch station.

In Oren's office, Duke Richard and Oren meet for the first time.

When we first met, Oren pretended to be confused: "Why did Your Excellency the Duke come to see me?"

Duke Richard replied: "The incident at Port Fast was a misunderstanding, and I came here to apologize to Colonel Oren."

Oren said with a blank expression, "It doesn't matter if I'm alone, but the justice of the Marine and the reputation of the World Government. What's more, as Lord Victor's subordinate and the most devout follower, my affairs will also affect Victor. Sir's prestige, and the entire Blue Ocean Club."

Oren is going to give Richard a big hat, which he learned from Victor.

He is awe-inspiring, opening and closing his mouth about Marine, World government, Victor, and the Blue Ocean Club.

Takes things to an extremely high level.

Actually, Duke Richard understands.

Isn't this just compensation?

Moreover, Duke Richard also heard that Oren wanted the lion to open his mouth.

If it doesn't satisfy him, then he won't let it go.

Duke Richard can only admit it now, he now understands that Oren is not an ordinary Marine.

Oren has a background.

The World government didn't really intend to deal with Oren either.

If not, an officer from Enies Lobby, or an investigative team from Naval Headquarters should be sent.

Thinking of this, Duke Richard said: "I would like to publish an apology in the newspaper, and at the same time, donate 3 billion Baileys to the Marine Veterans and Disabled Foundation."

3 billion Pele, this is not a small number.

Oren, however, did not respond.

Well, keep adding money.

Duke Richard gritted his teeth and said, "5 billion."

At this time, Oren said: "Except for the donation of 5 billion Baileys, the Port of Fast is the same as the Port of Wilhelm."

Naturally, this extortion is not a one-time transaction, it is continuous!

Oren added: "Only in this way can the long-term peace of Fastport and the Kingdom of Arthur be guaranteed."

The implication is that if you don't agree, many problems will arise.

Garner raised his hand and patted Duke Richard on the shoulder: "Master Victor will be a Marine Admiral in the future, or even a marshal."

Upon hearing this, Duke Richard nodded, "I see."

...

Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

Victor just faxed Kong.

"Victor."

Sora is also very helpless now.

Victor's promotion rate has been very fast.

Oren's promotion speed is also jaw-droppingly fast.

Since Victor came to branch 191, it has only been more than a year, and Oren has been continuously promoted.

He had just been promoted to the rank of colonel, and Victor recommended Oren again.

Kong glanced at the newspaper on the table, a report in the newspaper was related to Oren.

It's a letter of apology from Arthur Kingdom.

Although it is a public apology, Victor did do a lot of shady things when he was in South Blue.

Use various means to collect money, including extortion.

At this time, Sengoku walked in, saw Sora's sad face, and asked, "Is it related to Victor?"

"Well, it's him." Sora didn't deny it either.

Sengoku glanced at the newspaper on the table and said, "These are small things, not enough to affect stability."

In Sengoku's eyes, the stability of the sea is the most important thing.

And he implied that he could agree to Victor.

Anyway, Victor's subordinates are in South Blue. Apart from extorting money, they also perform their duties, uphold justice and fight against pirates.

"You came to see me, is there something?" Sora asked.

"The candidate I just picked." Sengoku handed Sora a report.

Sora looked at the content of Sengoku's report.

"Shichibukai candidates."

After reading the report, Sora couldn't help frowning.

Shichibukai was proposed by the World government.

The purpose is to check and balance pirates with pirates.

This way, Marine can concentrate on dealing with Roger et al.

Just being empty is also hard to accept.

Because as long as Shichibukai becomes Shichibukai, not only will Shichibukai be cancelled, but at the same time, he can also obtain the legal right to plunder.

Of course, only countries that are not part of the World government can be plundered.

"They do have a deterrent effect." Putting down the report, Sora said to Sengoku, "Go invite them."

...

Sea Circle Calendar Late 1494.

One thing has once again sparked extensive discussions within Marine.

That's Oren getting promoted again.

On Victor's recommendation, Oren successfully became the commander of Truro Fortress.

In just a few months.

From Colonel to Commodore rank!

Moreover, Oren doesn't have any combat exploits that can be shown!

Most of the pirates caught were small characters, and the reward of millions of Baileys was not worth mentioning at all.

As one of Victor's subordinates, Marta was jealous.

Because Oren's promotion rate is much faster than him.

In terms of personal strength, Marta thought he would be inferior to Oren, but Oren could rise so fast.

Not only Marta, but other officers of the 191st branch are also envious and jealous.

Because after Oren is promoted, the Marine of branch 189 will also be promoted.

"I heard that Oren created the Blue Ocean Club for Mr. Victor, and was appreciated by Mr. Victor."

"Blue Ocean Club? What is Blue Ocean Club?"

"With the goal of purifying the sea, all members are the most devout followers of Lord Victor."

"We are also Lord Victor's followers."

"It's different. I heard that the 189th branch shouts 'Long live Lord Victor' every day, and there are statues and photos of Lord Victor everywhere in the barracks."

"Everything Sir Victor said has been compiled into books."

"Oren is too good at flattering."

"Otherwise, how could he rise so fast?"

"Maybe, he still has a chance to be promoted to Rear Admiral, and he will be transferred to the headquarters in the future."

At this time, the officers of the 191 branch were discussing.

Oren's quick success allowed the officers to discover a 'shortcut'.

As Victor's former team, they can naturally join the Blue Ocean Club.

Moreover, purifying the sea is Victor's dream, and it is absolute justice.

And not just in Branch 191.

Even the G1 branch has started to promote the Blue Ocean Club.

The goal of the Blue Ocean Club is to purify the evil forces in the sea and make the sea pure and blue.

Therefore, joining the Blue Ocean Society is not only for promotion and fortune, but also for justice!
