Chapter 171 (The Wind)
Like the Navy's G-3 base, the G-5 base has also begun preparations to escort the gold and other things in the sky.
G-5 Base was originally known for its tough folk customs, but since the arrival of Lieutenant General Jonathan as the base commander.
The situation at the base has become different.
How should I put it, Lieutenant General Jonathan is a lieutenant general with a gentler personality and a wiser person.
Such people are generally not too tough in their style.
As the commander of the naval base, he is sometimes too gentle.
Moreover, Lieutenant General Jonathan has a special nickname at G-5 Base: Infrastructure Maniac.
Yes, the navy at G-5 Base originally had a strong military style, and most of the navy in it would be a thorn in the side of the Navy Headquarters.
Many times, they basically do not fully comply with orders from their headquarters.
However, because of the important location of the base and the abilities of these thorns, the headquarters turned a blind eye.
There was no special control after Jonathan arrived, but his gentle and silent skills made the situation in G-5 Base very different from before.
At least the navy at the base no longer looks more like pirates than navy like before.
The biggest change is the entire G-5 base.
Jonathan's slogan as an infrastructure maniac is not just a boast, but he has really invested a lot of military supplies in the construction of the base since he became the base commander.
The entire base is equipped with an unknown number of heavy artillery, as well as bright and dark bunkers, ensuring that there are no blind spots in the entire base.
It was nicknamed the 'Steel Fortress' by the soldiers at the base.
In the G-5 base director's office.
Jonathan sat behind his desk, opposite him was a brigadier general.
The brigadier general wore a plaid robe, short black, and formed into a lightning-like shape at the temples.
What's even more funny is that there is a cookie stuck to the left side of his face.
This is none other than the current base commodore of the Navy, ‘Ghost Bamboo’ Virgo.
Speaking of which, Vergo is one of the guys who gets promoted very quickly in the Navy.
Vergo had already mastered the two-color haki when he entered the recruit camp, and his strength at that time could kill most naval captains instantly.
Not to mention that he has continued to make outstanding achievements after officially graduating.
Especially after applying to be transferred to the G-5 base, countless pirates were captured.
Once you have merit, you will naturally be promoted along the way. Not long after Jonathan was transferred, he was officially promoted to Commodore of the Navy G-5 Base.
The second in command under Jonathan.
"Brigadier General Vergo, please sit down. Sit down and talk."
Jonathan behind the desk motioned to Vergo across from him to sit down and asked with a smile.
"Is there still no news about the group of pirates you were chasing some time ago?"
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, I have some clues. We will soon be able to find the traces of these rats. No matter how cunning the prey is, it cannot escape the hands of the hunter."
Vergo's sitting posture is very upright and he has a naval demeanor. Many people in the base admire him.
"Yes, no matter how cunning the prey is, it can't escape the hunter's grasp." Jonathan smiled and repeated what Vergo said, "That's good. It seems that Brigadier General Vergo is already confident."
"No way, Lieutenant General, you are just a bunch of self-righteous guys."
Virgo's facial expression was still cool as he answered Jonathan's words.
"Well, well, compared to that, I'm more concerned about..." Jonathan pointed at Virgo's left cheek and said, "By the way, why is there an extra cookie there."
With an expressionless expression, Virgo reached out and took off the cookie from his face, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice.
"Thank you, Lieutenant General. I was just wondering where my cookies went."
"Haha, Virgo, you are such an 'interesting' person."
Jonathan stroked his mustache and joked with Virgo with a smile. Then his face straightened and he said seriously: "However, maybe you can't continue to chase these bastards."
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, please speak."
"In several nearby kingdoms, the 'Heavenly Gold' that will be handed over to the World Government this year has been prepared. You will be needed to receive it and escort it when the time comes. There can be no mistakes in this mission."
Jonathan's tone became serious, indicating that this task was not easy.
Vergo, who was opposite him, still looked expressionless, but his body tensed for a moment, but he had been sitting upright, and you couldn't tell anything unless you looked carefully.
"Please rest assured, Lieutenant General, I will definitely live up to your trust."
Jonathan nodded, took out a stack of information from his hand and handed it to Virgo.
"This is detailed information. Please keep it. I will leave this task to you, Brigadier General Vergo."
Vergo stood up and saluted, took the information handed over by Jonathan with both hands and reassured him again.
"The mission must be completed."
…
When Virgo gradually walked away and there was no more sound, Jonathan in the office sighed quietly.
Said in a voice that only he could hear.
"Virgo, you are such an interesting person."

From this moment on, there were actually some storms on the sea.
In the first half of the Grand Line and in the four seas, it is easy to say that few pirates would dare to attack the "Heavenly Gold" handed over to the Celestial Dragons by the alliance countries escorted by the navy.
But the new world is different.
This is a paradise for the strong, and there are not many lunatics here who like to do crazy things.
Anyway, it is not unusual for any kind of accident to happen in this sea area.
However, most pirates still dare not blatantly attack the navy.
After all, the navy is the most legally powerful armed force in the world.
If you take the initiative to attack the navy and fail to take care of the end, it will easily lead to a strong pursuit by the navy.
Many people like to commit suicide, but they don't really want to die.
Better to die than to live, right?
Of course, if everything could be covered up, the result might be different.
The unique environment of the new world and the intertwining of various powerful pirate forces have resulted in the navy being able to only defend one side here and not be able to expand its territory.
Therefore, there are many sea areas that cannot be touched by the navy, which often breed all kinds of shady things.
This is an inconspicuous place in the New World. Not only has the navy failed to control it, but even the pirates are reluctant to visit it.
So no one knows that there is actually a group of powerful pirate organizations here.
In the dim room, a tall black figure was holding a glass of red wine. His pointed leather shoes were placed on a wooden table with his feet staggered.
"Well hey hey hey, it's finally our chance. How can we be without our participation in this era? How boring would the show be without us?"
The tall black shadow monster smiled and put down the phone bug in his hand, and drank the scarlet wine in the glass in one gulp.
He couldn't see his expression in the darkness, only a shocking and terrifying voice came out.
Chapter completed!
