A few more months passed.

  The Shampoo Isnds have been completely transformed.

  Whether it is an orderly zone or an illegal zone, they are all on the right track.

  Merchants and residents have become accustomed to living in orderly areas.

  Pirates also naturally feel that they should stay in the wless zone.

  However, Smoker hasn't loosened his grip on the wless nd either.

  There is a special base led by Gaspardi and a bunker defense line dividing the bck and white areas.

  There is an intelligence station and Zeon's security group behind the scenes.

  One light and one dark, making the Chambord Isnds monolithic!

  Not only that, both the G12's military affairs and the sve trade industry have become more and more mature and can even operate on their own.

  Many times, Smoker just keeps an eye on the progress, while Zeon, Vip, and Aiman ??are handling specific matters...

  On this day, Smoker was sitting in the office and talking on the phone with someone.

  Behind him is a nautical map of the jurisdiction, which is densely marked with the pirates' names, bounties, and their movements...

  "Teacher Zephyr, Mr. Warring States has become a marshal. Can we act more freely in the future?"

  "There are so many pirates that G12 can't catch at all, and the prison is not enough. How about letting other branches join in?!"

  The phone bug wore sungsses and looked unhappy.

  "What nonsense are you talking about, Smoker..."

  "This is the transfer of power for the rgest military force on the sea. Don't think that everything will be fine after Sengoku becomes the marshal. The World Government will definitely keep a close eye on him. Whenever there is any change in the headquarters, they will immediately parachute several generals to evade Sengoku. Even if it comes It’s three idiots!”

  "The more times like this, the more calm you must be! Nothing is allowed to change until the three brats take over as generals!!"

  Smoker pinched his eyebrows helplessly.

  "Okay, okay...it's up to you."

  Zephyr: "By the way, the previous chief staff officer has retired and is now repced by Xiaohe. The money you earned can be sent over!"

  The Naval Chief of Staff controls several key powers such as supervision, intelligence, finance, and personnel, and has always been held by the Marshal's absolute confidant.

  When he was serving as a marshal, his cssmates would serve as chief advisers.

  Even if Smoker made a fortune, he would not dare to transport it back to his headquarters, otherwise he would not be able to hide it from Kong's eyes.

  Now that the Warring States Period came to power, it was natural to repce the chief staff officer with one of his own. This was not a purge, but a normal handover.

  Every marshal operates this way, and the world government also holds a default attitude.

  Under the operation of the Warring States Period, the former chief staff officer retired honorably a month ago without causing any waves.

  Smoker clicked his tongue.

  "The noble marshal of the navy still cares about my little money! Is this a crime?"

  Zephyr's roar came from the phone bug.

  "Stop talking nonsense! Why do you want to be the base director of the G12 branch? Isn't it just to make money?!"

  "Stop pying tricks on me, the money must be handed over every penny..."

  Smoker sighed heavily.

  "I'm not the base commander, why are you angry at me..."

  "That's all, I admit it. I will escort the money over as soon as possible. But I have worked hard for a year, so how much can you keep for me? At least it's a small change..."

  "You don't know, there are too many people in the branch now, and the headquarters doesn't give any money... Teacher Zephyr, you can't just care about my life or death!"

  Zephyr fell silent.

  He knows the situation of G12.

  Military expenditures are allocated according to the size of the base, but with people supporting two branches, and the branch has just been expanded, the pressure is indeed greater.

  [Forget it, the sve trade has just started, so it won’t be much better, so let’s leave some for him! 】

  "Okay, I agreed, remember, I can only keep a small change!"

  Smoker was very happy to find the scapegoat.

  Zephyr continued to chat for a few words.

  "By the way, there is one more thing to tell you. Since Hina went to Rogge Town, more than half of the pirates in the East Sea have disappeared, and the rest are all incompetent minions."

  "Hina is patrolling the East Sea in order to completely eliminate them. She even went to Base 161 a few days ago. She seems to have a good retionship with the new base commander."

  Smoker perked up.

  "Bellemere, I really miss you... and everyone, I really want to see them..."

  Zephyr chuckled.

  "It's difficult. The major general can only act within his jurisdiction. Movement across jurisdictions requires approval!"

  "Let's wait until you are promoted to lieutenant general before we talk. From your words, it shouldn't take long!"

  "All right..."

  Smoker sighed: "Hang up now, and ask Esther to send the money ter..."

  Smoker buttoned up the phone and looked back at the chart behind him.

  The headquarters is less than a day's flight from the Chambord Isnds, so there is no need to personally escort...

  With the establishment of the intelligence alliance,

  G12's efficiency in catching pirates has been visibly improved.

  In just over half a year, hundreds of pirate groups, rge and small, were wiped out.

  He sent thousands of pirate sves to the popution auction house and even accumuted dozens of Devil Fruits.

  Not only that,

  The auction house organizes an auction every half month, attracting more and more Celestial Dragons to participate.

  Under Zeon's various methods, the Celestial Dragons' evaluation of the sve auction became higher and higher, and they even became somewhat dependent on it.

  Seeing this, nobles from all over the country also flocked to the pce.

  Even if pirate kidnappings happen from time to time, their enthusiasm cannot be extinguished!

  And Smoker also raised his scythe unceremoniously, harvesting wealth crazily.

  Coupled with the gambling industry, the Shampoo Isnds have truly become an isnd of wealth.

  Two days ter, Smoker stood on the warship.

  Hundreds of wooden boxes were piled in the cabin, which was what Smoker wanted to pay.

  Although there are banks in the pirate world,

  But Smoker always uses cash for transactions.

  After all, such a rge amount can easily be monitored by CP.

  Therefore, Smoker's way of sending money to the headquarters is also very simple and unpretentious.

  cash! Boxed!

  Looking at the half-full cabin, Smoker took the trouble to remind Esther.

  "Remember, come back right after the handover. Don't eat, let alone drink!"

  "If you ask me how many hundreds of millions I have left, just say a few hundred million. You can make it up as you like, but it is best not to exceed 500 million..."

  "besides..."

  At the end, just as he was about to set sail, Smoker sighed and took out twenty more boxes.

  "These are twenty Devil Fruits. They are a gift to Mr. Sengoku as his successor as marshal!"

  With Esther's repeated assurances, Smoker turned around and got off the ship...

  The day passes quickly...

  Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and He gathered around a table, looking at the twenty Devil Fruits in a daze.

  Warring States' face was a little swollen and gloomy, as if water was dripping from his face.

  Garp was leaning on the sofa, eating senbei casually.

  He also had a cold expression on his face, and gnced at Zephyr with a look like a knife.

  Zephyr looked guilty and annoyed.

  After a while, Warring States suddenly got angry, grabbed Zephyr's shoulders, shook him and cursed.

  "Zephyr, you bastard, you let a mere branch keep more than 6 billion beli?! Do you know how short of money I am?!"

  Zephyr pushed Sengoku away: "Get out of here, old man Senbei, I didn't know that bastard was so capable!!"

  Yesterday, the G12 branch sent over 30 billion beli, and He was dumbfounded on the spot.

  Aster put down the money and left as Smoker said.

  He is a well-informed old man, and he can tell at a gnce that something is wrong.

  So he personally came forward and stayed for a dozen school officials from G12 to eat.

  The chief staff officer came forward to allow the colonel to eat. No matter how many heads he had, Esther didn't dare to refuse, so he could only agree to have a casual meal.

  At the wine table, He took out a bottle of wine and said he was happy and wanted to have a drink. Do you mind?

  Esther and others would have objections, so they quickly shook their heads and said, "It's up to you."

  He trembled and drank a few drinks, his face turned red, and he said that drinking was boring, so he asked them to keep him company.

  Esther didn't want to agree at first, but when she saw He was alone and half-drunk after a few drinks, she felt relieved...

  Two hours ter, He left the room with a gloomy look, not even half drunk on his face.

  The dozen or so people in G12 were all fast asleep under the table.

  He hurriedly reported to Warring States.

  The G12 branch earned more than 36 billion beli in most of the year, and kept 6 billion for itself...

  Warring States' whole body exploded.

  This year, the World Government cut military spending by 20%, just to scare the Warring States into obedience.

  Warring States and Hechou both lost their heads, but they didn't expect Smoker to help them in times of need.

  30 billion beli, filling most of the hole in one go.

  6 billion beli, there will be enough money to build another branch...

  Sengoku, who was eating senbei with Garp, heard the news and was so shocked that his jaw dislocated.

  It was only after Garp spped him with an armed sp that his chin returned to its proper position.

  But it still hurts so much that I can’t breathe.

  He quickly called Zephyr over and scolded him.

  Zephyr was speechless after learning the truth, and felt extremely aggrieved.

  I thought Smoker would keep a few hundred million to make up for the shortfall, but I didn’t expect this guy to be so capable!

  He didn't say anything, but he also began to secretly pn, how about getting Smoker to the staff? !

  After all, there is no shortage of hard-fisted people in the Navy, but there is a shortage of people with brains...

  Looking at Garp who was eating senbei next to him, he became even more convinced of this idea.

  A few old guys were noisy for a while, then finally calmed down and began to study devil fruits.

  Warring States: "These... what do you think?!"

  Garp picked his nose and looked at the fruit.

  "What pirates pursue is nothing more than treasure and power, so after they get the Devil Fruit, they either eat it immediately or sell it, and they won't keep it easily."

  "It's a miracle that the kid can get so many fruits. He should buy lottery tickets hahahahahaha!!!"

  He seemed careless, but he had a crazy suspicion in his heart.

  However, without real evidence, you cannot say it even to a few old friends, otherwise it will bring big trouble to Smoker.

  So, he simply attributed it all to luck...

  Crane nodded.

  "Anyway, it's a good thing."

  "With so many fruits, if used properly, they can cultivate a fighting force that cannot be ignored!!"

  Zephyr also echoed.

  "Warring States, you can't let down Smoker's heart. These fruits must be transformed into power as soon as possible!!"

  "I know!!" Warring States thought for a while: "In this way, six will be allocated to young lieutenant generals, and eight will be allocated to potential major generals! The remaining six... look at the outstanding trainees of these elite naval expansion csses Is there anyone suitable!"

  The other three people thought about it and had no objections.

  Warring States stroked his beard and braids.

  "The money and fruits have been settled, now let's talk about Smoker..."
