Chapter 372 Blockade

"During this period, merchant ships outside have been attacked by pirates or other forces. There have been more than a hundred incidents since the beginning of this year alone." Robin pushed up his glasses and said with a serious expression, "The number of damaged large merchant ships has reached 30, and the number of small merchant ships has exceeded 100!"

Large commercial ships are special ships specially used to transport goods from the East China Sea to other sea areas.

Thanks to the Sea Tower Stone and the Power Wheel, most of the commodities now have basically been transported to other sea areas by large merchant ships, except for special items that rely on Big Bear's slap.

As for the small merchant ship, it is to transport goods to various islands in various sea areas. Of course, although it is a small merchant ship, its size is also as large as the Advance Merry in the anime, and its load-bearing capacity is quite good.

It can be said that the damage during this period...even leaving aside the cargo, the damage to the ship alone was already very serious.

After hearing Robin's report, Xia Che couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the BOSS was deep in thought, Robin continued to flip through the information collected during this period, and said with a solemn tone on his face, "At first, I suspected that it was the cause of the chaos. Some forces or pirates were targeting him. He defeated our East China Sea Navy, so he also specially sent the navy to carry out encirclement and suppression, but..."

Although Robin hadn't finished speaking, Xia Che knew what was going on when he saw Robin's expression, "Didn't you find it?"

The Great Channel and the other three seas are also very vast, not to mention other sea areas. Even the East China Sea, which is now occupied by the East China Sea Navy, once a pirate escapes into the sea, it will be quite troublesome for the East China Sea Navy to find it. .

And in other sea areas... the East China Sea Navy's power there is still quite weak, so it's not surprising even if it can't be found.

You must know that even the world government, which has been in charge of this sea for many years, still cannot do it.

"We captured some of them, but we still don't know where some of them are hiding? And..." Robin said with a wry smile, "During the investigation, we found that there seems to be a force that has placed a bounty on the East China Sea Navy in the black market. As long as anything related to the East China Sea Navy has been put on a high bounty, the bounty on large merchant ships has reached 500 million beli, and the bounty on small merchant ships has been 100 million beli. Even BOSS you... you have been put on one A bounty of tens of billions of Baileys!”

"Ten billion beli, this is higher than the bounty of the Pirate King." Hearing Robin's words, Xia Che smiled and shook his head without caring, "This world government really abides by the agreement at that time! Don’t dare to offer rewards openly, just offer rewards on the black market!”

"Although everyone knows that the World Government did it, we have no evidence to prove that it was the World Government. I have to say that this time it is really troublesome!" Robin said with a helpless tone, "Now it has been affected. Our business in other sea areas has been disrupted, especially because many times the goods were not delivered, which has had a certain impact on our reputation in the East China Sea. Some people began to have doubts about online shopping.

And not only that, during the investigation of Baroque Works, it was also discovered that other forces were targeting merchant ships of the East China Sea Navy, including the forces under the Sea Transport King! "

"Sea Transport King—Umit?"

The King of Shipping, Umit, has power throughout the entire sea and is in charge of transportation on the sea. He is also the king of the ocean transportation industry in the New World and one of the underground kings of the New World.

There are six underground kings in the New World, and Morgans is one of them.

He probably stole that guy's business, so he took this opportunity to attack the East China Sea Navy.

"In addition, the underground forces have also issued a ban on the East China Sea, prohibiting merchants from trading in the East China Sea, and strictly prohibiting merchants from selling food to the East China Sea. Although these are issued by the underground forces in the New World, during the investigation..." Robin still took the lead In a solemn tone, "It was discovered that there were members of the World Government's intelligence agency behind it. At the same time, they also ordered the encirclement and suppression of any ships coming out of the East China Sea."

"Aren't these guys afraid that our East China Sea Navy will settle accounts with them?" Violet on the side also frowned and said, "Don't they understand why the World Government doesn't dare to come openly and only dares to do this?"

"Maybe you can see it, but the benefits are so impressive!" Xia Che touched his chin and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Not to mention other things, a large merchant ship is 500 million beli, and a small merchant ship is 100 million. Bailey, this kind of bounty has reached the level of a large pirate group. If this was such a good deal a few years ago, I would have paid a lot of money!"

Although the risk is a bit higher, compared to a head-on confrontation with a large pirate group, it is better to just rob the merchant ship and run away!

The navy in the East China Sea is strong!

If it was in the East China Sea, maybe they wouldn't dare, but other sea areas are not the East China Sea. Even if the East China Sea Navy wanted to catch them...as long as they escaped into the sea, it would be very difficult for the East China Sea Navy to find them.

In addition, although they have arranged guards on the merchant ships, it is okay for ordinary pirates, but if they encounter pirates with a bounty of over 100 million, the combat power of the guards is still somewhat insufficient.

Thinking of this, Xia Che said with emotion, "This world government is preparing to seal off our East China Sea!"

"Is there nothing we can do about it?" Violet pondered for a moment and said, "Can't we just launch a few more bombs at the World Government to scare those guys?"

"Although we all know that the World Government is behind it, there is nothing we can do if they don't recognize it. We can't bomb them until they recognize it!" Before Xia Che could say anything, Robin also frowned. After pondering for a while, he also said with emotion, "In this case, it is better to declare war directly, but now is not the time!"

The World Government intends to block all roads in the East China Sea, isolate the East China Sea, restrict the development of the East China Sea Navy, and be sure that the East China Sea Navy dare not easily start a war now.

I have to say that this time the World Government's behavior is really painful!

At this time.

Just when the two frowned and thought about what to do.

Xia Che picked up the teacup on the table, looked at the two people who were in distress, and said leisurely, "Don't panic!"

"???"

The two immediately looked at the BOSS in confusion and were about to say something.

"Now, put up a bounty online for the location of all pirate groups that have attacked the East China Sea Navy. As long as you can tell where the pirate group is, it will be fine. Xia Che narrowed his eyes slightly, "They don't have to do anything. If it is true after investigation, whether the East China Sea Navy has caught them or not, they will immediately pay the money!"

"Is this... useful?"

"Don't underestimate the power of netizens!" Xia Che shook his head and said with emotion, "In addition, select some pirate groups with better reputations."

His eyes narrowed slightly, "Just tell them that we have a business to do with them..."

When Xia Che finished speaking, Robin and Violet's eyes suddenly became strange, looking at their boss with complicated expressions.

This... works?
