One Piece: The Glory of the Murloc

This coral jungle is in shambles.

Brett had returned to his human form. He was sitting on a piece of gravel, looking at his right hand blankly.

There were invisible waves wrapped around his hands.

"I've gotten a little stronger."

Brett sighed.

Although Rayleigh is always questioned about his teaching ability, what he said is correct. Haki does improve in battles with powerful enemies.

After the battle with the nameless navy, Bright could feel his domineering strength getting stronger, although the magnitude was not large.

And more importantly, the techniques for hardening have become a little clearer.

This battle can barely be regarded as benefiting a lot.

Brett thought so.

As for me now, even if I fight Jinbei who is going all out, I won't lose easily, right?

It can be regarded as barely crossing the threshold of the general disaster level.

Of course, the trouble got bigger.

Bright turned his head and looked aside. The body of the marine whose name he didn't know until he killed him had been burned to charcoal by the flames.

The feud with the navy is getting deeper and deeper.

Brett felt a little melancholy.

Dearest Charlie, where is the turning point in the future that you mentioned?

How come I feel like we're really going to have an all-out war with the Navy if this goes on?

"Bright! What's going on?"

Jinbei's fat figure rushed over from the depths of the coral jungle, he said hurriedly.

After the battle, Bright immediately contacted Jinbe through the phone bug.

The situation is serious.

"I was attacked just now."

Brett said.

"An attack?" Jinbei was stunned, and then asked in shock, "Is it the pirates' revenge - no, is it the government's action?"

"It's the Navy."

Bright pointed at a few corpses scattered on the ground, "But I have already taken care of them."

"call--"

Jinbe breathed a sigh of relief, "Those guys really won't give up. As long as you're fine... wait a minute,"

He realized something, "The person who will be sent into the deep sea to catch you should be a senior official of the navy, right?"

Bright nodded, "The leader may be an officer at the rank of lieutenant general."

Jinbe was silent for a moment, then found a stone next door and sat down as well.

"Is it time to prepare for war next?" he said.

"My personal view is that this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Brett said, "But Charlie's prophecy said nothing would happen."

"Yeah?"

Jinbe was instantly overjoyed, "Since Charlie said so, there will definitely be no problem."

Although it is very unscientific, metaphysics is just that. Without reason, the future that Xia Li sees will definitely happen. Whether it is careful consideration or recklessness, the final result must be the predicted future.

"Anyway, let's just pretend that we don't know what to do. We just packed up a group of pirates who came to take revenge."

Bright said, "Since the Navy chose to send people to infiltrate in secret, it has no intention of bringing this matter to light."

Jinbei nodded.

"Then I checked and found out that these are the only five people I don't believe."

Brett said so.

"Um."

The Immigration and Entry Administration took action overnight, and the Neptune Army was also mobilized.

Although four of the five navies were burned to carbon, one lucky man was still alive.

The Marine, initially knocked unconscious by Bright, now becomes a key clue, and the soldiers guarding the port quickly recognize him and then find their ship.

There is nothing special about the boat. What is special is that when I asked people on other boats around, I found that the guy on one boat was not normal.

"Director Bright, we still need to search so late. What happened?"

The man who claimed to be the captain was still asking curiously.

Brett wanted to admire his acting skills.

He could hear the panic and fear in this man's heart.

"You are in the same group with them," Bright said directly.

"This, how is this possible?" The man's face changed drastically, and he defended in panic, "You must be joking, right?"

"hehe."

Brett chuckled.

The sound of lies.

Those who didn’t say anything were arrested.

However, these guys were very tough-talking. No matter how they were questioned or tortured, they insisted that they were just ordinary businessmen and had no idea what was going on.

Later, the unlucky guy who had been knocked unconscious also woke up. After knowing what happened, he looked dejected and insisted that he was just looking for Bright because of a certain pirate who had died in Bright's hands before. Revengeful.

After struggling until dawn, Brett lost his patience.

In fact, it makes no sense. It has long been determined that they are the navy.

If they deny this identity, let them deny it.

At least in this case, the Navy has nothing to say openly.

But if a high-ranking official with the rank of lieutenant general dies, the secret commotion may be greater than this time.

Maybe the hero Garp or the black-armed Zefa will come in person next time.

Headache.

Without even having time to sleep, Bright and Jinbei went to the palace to look for Neptune. The three of them had a good discussion.

The final conclusion was to stay put for the time being and wait for Xia Li's prophecy to come true. No, it was to take advantage of the situation.

In the morning, Jinbei continued to teach at the training ground as if nothing had happened, and Bright returned to the office and continued working as if nothing had happened.

Then, in the afternoon, when Brett had just taken a nap, the door was knocked open by his secretary, Miss Kayla.

"Director, Mr. Tezzolo, whom I met last time, is here to see you."

Tezzolo?

Brett patted his face to wake himself up from his sleepiness, "Invite him in."

Soon, partner Mr. Tezzolo walked into Bright’s office wearing a bright pink suit as always.

"I haven't seen you for a while, my friend."

Tezzolo was smiling broadly. It should be said that he is worthy of being a part-time big star in the future. His smile is very contagious. "The cooperation can begin. This time I have brought you something that you may need, information on many common drugs, and Supporting equipment and design drawings.”

"Oh, is it so?"

This is really good news.

Fishman Island has no shortage of doctors, but it cannot produce its own medicines and almost all of them rely on imports.

"I also brought you some information on marine plants. Many materials that cannot be found on the seabed can be replaced by marine plants."

Brett wanted to hug Tezzolo and give him a kiss. This guy was so considerate.

Otherwise, what if he could become the richest man?

"Of course, I'll leave it to you too," Tezzolo said.

"No gold mine has been discovered yet, but don't worry, we have been stepping up exploration."

This is pure nonsense. Before confirming Tezzolo's sincerity, Bright was too lazy to take action first.

But now it seems that we can start. At least for now, this guy is very sincere.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry."

Tezzolo didn't know what Bright was thinking. He simply thought that exploring mineral deposits on the seabed was not an easy task.

"So, what about freight?"

Tezzolo said seriously, "Recently, there are a lot of goods that I want to ship to all over the world."

"Manpower is ready."

Bright said, "If you trust them who are just starting out, then you can give it a try."

"Hahaha, of course I believe you."

Tezzolo smiled and said, "We are partners."

Wow, this guy is so lovable.

"That's no problem."

Brett nodded.

Suddenly, Brett remembered something.

This guy will even be able to influence the decisions of the Tianlong people through wealth in the future, and his involvement with the government must be very deep.

So--

"However, maybe our cooperation will not last long."

Brett sighed.

"What?" Tezzolo frowned, "What happened, Mr. Bright?"

At this point, we can no longer give up on Fish-Man Island easily.

"We actually had some conflicts with the government."

Bright said, "There may be some trouble later, and maybe I will go into exile overseas."

"With the government?"

Tezzolo frowned even more tightly, "How could it be? The government is very connivant with the Shichibukai."

"Technically the Navy."

Brett added, avoiding the important and taking the easy, "As you know, I used to be a pirate."

Tezzolo knew that the trouble Brett was encountering might not be as simple as he said.

But as a qualified businessman, he didn't point it out.

Tezzolo smiled and said, "If it was just the navy, then the problem wouldn't be too big."

Brett raised his eyebrows, "Why did you say that?"

"First of all, we must understand one thing, Mr. Bright. The navy is subordinate to the government, but the navy and the government have different positions."

Tezzolo said with a smile, "The Navy is a violent institution. They are only responsible for two things, fighting criminals and protecting the government. They have no tolerance for many things."

"But the government, or the Five Elders, are different. They don't hate evil. What they seek is value."

"The Shichibukai were all pirates in the past, and some even committed all kinds of evil in the past, but the government felt that they had enough value, so it was able to pardon their crimes and make them legal pirates, and the navy had nothing to do."

"It's that simple."

Brett nodded thoughtfully, "That seems to be the truth."
