The intelligence analysis department of the Navy Headquarters is very busy during this time.
On this sea.
There are so many pirates with bounties of over 100 million, maybe not many in the first half of the Grand Line, and each one is called a new pirate star, but in the second half of the Grand Line, there are literally a lot of them.
But the second half of the Grand Route is not an area that can be easily entered.
The four emperors are divided there, and there are almost no weak pirates in the New World. Even if they are really weak, they may belong to the grassroots members of a certain force. In this case, the Navy's actions in the New World are also greatly affected. limited.
Pirates with a bounty of over 100 million cannot be caught casually.
Members of these intelligence analysis departments need to review the intelligence information of the pirate groups that are being hunted by various navies and have a bounty of over 100 million pirates, and then submit them to the hands of the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the Navy Advisor who are responsible for the graduation assessment of the elite battalion. .
"The level of danger for pirates with a bounty of over 100 million in the first half of the Grand Line is almost the same as that of pirates with a bounty of over 100 million in the second half."
Looking at the pile of intelligence information about pirates in his hand, Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan smoked a cigar and pondered.
To be able to have a bounty of over 100 million in the first half of the Grand Line must be extremely talented, powerful, and blessed with considerable luck, so these people are called rising pirate stars.
In the second half of the new world, Haki has become a popular force. Without Haki, it is impossible to survive in the new world. Almost all pirates with bounties worth over 100 million will use Haki.
And once you know how to use Haki, your strength will be greatly improved, regardless of whether you are a person with abilities or not!
The Rising Stars in the first half are very difficult to catch. Sometimes the Vice Admiral will run away because the opponent is too lucky. The Pirates in the second half are extremely dangerous to catch.
"Currently, there are a total of fourteen pirate groups that meet the requirements..."
Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan read the information one by one. Of these fourteen pirate groups, there are currently only four in the first half and ten in the second half.
After thinking about it for about half a day, Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan, General Smoker and the other eight people decided on their goals. Only Roya was left in the end, and it was a bit difficult to decide.
"There are two pirate groups in the first half, but the captains both offer bounties of over 200 million, and the remaining four in the second half all have bounties around 200 million..."
Roja is the strongest, so Huoshaoshan naturally picks the easier and weaker ones first, distributes them to Smoker and others, and finally distributes the remaining ones to Roja. However, after the distribution, Huoshaoshan appears, and the rest Six, the difficulty is much higher than the previous eight.
A naval advisor standing next to Huo Shaoshan looked at the information placed on Huo Shaoshan's table. A sneer that Huo Shaoshan didn't see flashed through his eyes and said, "I think I'll put a reward of 190 million for this." Let the Dick Pirates allocate 16 million Baileys to him.”
This naval consultant was the same naval consultant Karl who took the blame for Roya's punch that broke the strength measuring instrument during the physical fitness test.
Although this incident was his fault, he was deducted a month's salary because of this incident, so he was depressed and transferred all his grievances to Luo Ya, trying to cause some trouble for Luo Ya.
However, after an investigation, it was discovered that Roya's identity was not an ordinary recruit, but Garp's nephew, and he suddenly felt a little wilted.
He still couldn't afford to offend Garp.
But.
He couldn't suppress this resentment. Although he couldn't afford to offend Garp and didn't dare to do anything openly, he could still do some small tricks secretly, such as... secretly extracting intelligence information from a pirate group!
In other words, there should be fifteen pirate groups that meet the conditions, of which there should be nine in easy difficulty, but he took away one, so there were only fourteen pirate groups left, and only eight in easy difficulty. , when it was finally the turn to assign tasks to Roja, they were all a bit more difficult.
Of course he wouldn't say anything about it.
Luo Ya is very strong. The possibility of dying in the assessment or failing the assessment is not high, but the possibility of not getting an excellent or good evaluation is still very high. In this way, Luo Ya's military rank after graduation may be will be pulled down one level.
"One hundred and ninety-six million Baileys... This is no different from a reward of 200 million."
Huo Shaoshan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's let Roja come and see what he decides. If he doesn't want to, then it's okay to postpone his second stage assessment for a few months. "
Although judging from the strength shown in Roya's previous physical fitness test, being able to blow up the strength tester with one punch should have the strength of a vice admiral. Even if the difficulty is higher, he should be able to complete it. Even if he cannot complete it, it is not too difficult. May threaten Roja's life.
But this is not fair to Roja after all.
Huo Shaoshan already knew that Roya was Garp's nephew. Unlike his advisor Karl, he was once a navy man under Garp. He followed Garp on the sea and had great respect for Garp. Naturally, he could not deliberately embarrass him. Roya.
"That's... okay."
Seeing that Huo Shaoshan actually let Roja make his own choice, Karl's expression suddenly froze, and in the end he could only nod helplessly.
After all, Huo Shaoshan has the final say in this matter. The most he can do is make a small move. Huo Shaoshan lets Luo Ya make his own choice. Luo Ya only needs to go to the moon to wait for a more suitable one. He has no choice at all.
This kind of secretly withholding a piece of information could never happen again, and he wouldn't dare to do it continuously.
The notice of Huo Shaoshan was quickly passed on.
Not long after, Roja arrived at Huo Shaoshan's office.
"Roya, come in."
When Huo Shaoshan saw Roya coming, he gave Roja a friendly smile. Now that he knew that Roja was Garp's nephew, his attitude towards Roja naturally became much better.
This Huo Shaoshan has a good personality among the lieutenant generals. Based on yesterday's contact, Luo Ya also had a good sense of him, so he smiled slightly and asked directly:
"can I help you?"
Seeing Luo Ya being so straightforward, Huo Shaoshan shook his head helplessly and said, "There is indeed something about your second-stage assessment..."
Huo Shaoshan told what happened before, then looked at Roya, waiting for Roja's decision.
If you accept the task directly, the difficulty will be relatively high.
Although Luo Ya has outstanding strength and should be able to complete it, the final evaluation is probably pass or good at most. Excellent is too difficult, let alone a perfect evaluation.
If we wait a month or two and change to a relatively easy target, with Roya's outstanding strength, the possibility of getting the upper hand is very high.
"A month or two... like this..."
After listening to Huo Shaoshan's words, Luo Ya looked at the six reward orders on the table, picked up one of them and said, "Don't bother me, just this one."
"puff!"
If Roja's personality is similar to Garp, it's normal to not want to wait for a month or two, but seeing this one that Roja picked casually, Huo Shaoshan almost choked.
How on earth was this chosen
The captain of the Silver Sword Pirates has a bounty of 220 million beli!
Although the bounty represents the danger to the World Government rather than the strength, the bounties of these six are around 200 million, and the difficulty is similar. However, the strength of the Silver Sword Pirates may not be much different from the other five, but they are brutal. The degree is far better than the other five!
They burned, killed, and looted wherever they went, almost committing all kinds of evil, and they even massacred an island!
"Roya, do you really want to choose this?!"
"Well, this one is more pleasing to the eye."
Roja smiled and said.
Of course he didn't know the origin of the Silver Sword Pirates. He didn't recognize any of the six bounties. He just took a glance and felt that the captain of the Silver Sword Pirates was not too ugly. Compared with the other five It was more pleasing to the eye, so I chose it.
Anyway, the bounties are all around 200 million, and the difficulty is about the same. For him, the second stage of the assessment is not that difficult no matter how difficult it is.
