Pirates Achievement System

Chapter 24: Spreading Throughout East Blue

East Blue, Coconut Town.

Marine 131st Branch.

"Commander Rogge, this is a recent incident in the nearby waters."

In the highest office, the Lieutenant Commander handed a stack of documents to Commander Rogge, who was sitting behind his desk, smoking a bit stiffly.

Rogge took the documents and took a cursory look.

[An armed Pirate Group with a total bounty of 3 million Berries attacked a merchant ship passing the maple leaf route, causing an estimated loss of nearly 20 million Berries, with fewer casualties]

[Crew, captain of 5 million Berries, was killed by Ron, an unknown pirate hunter, who refused to join the Marines.]

[......]

There were not many incidents recorded in the file, only three or four. All of them were about pirates or pirate groups with a total bounty of more than 3 million Berries.

In the past, Rogge would carefully examine and think about countermeasures, one by one, for each case. But at that moment, he was not in the mood. After giving it a fast look, he threw the document on the table.

"Don't bother me with these little things!"

"......Yes Yes."

Seeing that Rogge was so annoyed, the Lieutenant Commander couldn't help but answer in panic.

Rogge smoking intensely, spat out the smoke, and looked at the Lieutenant Commander and lieutenants standing on both sides of the office. He suddenly shouted: "Nothing new about what I asked for?"

"Still ... tracking ..."

The Lieutenant commander voice shuddered.

Rogge slammed the table and stood up, angrily: "Still tracking? A warship has been destroyed, and the headquarters' blame has just come down. Who will take responsibility? You?! Kono yarou "

"Commander Rogge..."

Watching Rogge angry, the captain trembled in response: "We misjudged the strength of the Hammer Pirates. Even if we manage to trace them now, we must send at least a medium-sized warship to deal with them, and the thing is... there is only one medium-sized warship in our base... "

The standard structure of East blue branches was two small and one medium-sized warship. Now, that one of the small warships was sunk by the pirates, the only remaining option was to send the medium warship to deal with Hummer Ruff and his crew. The problem was that the marines were dealing with pirates, which never stayed in one place for too long. Hence, the marines wouldn't have time to send warships to pursue these criminals.

In East Blue, Pirate Groups with a total bounty of more than 10 million Berries were a pain in the A** for a single branch to deal with. Even if a branch could win against these outlaws, it was often impossible to successfully track them down.

In particular, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Kuro, caused headaches to the marine branches. But recently, the Axe-Hand Morgan just caught a fake Kuro and was promoted from chief petty officer to captain, which made commander Rogge so flustered and restless. An unknown soldier managed to reach the rank of captain before he could...

"Please calm down, Commander Rogge..."

The lieutenant next to the captain whispered, "The government has increased the reward of Hammer Ruff from 8 million Berries to 12 million Berries. This is indeed beyond the scope of our branch. I don't think the headquarters will be too severe with him."
