Chapter 61 The World Government’s Evil Intentions! (Ch 61)

“Ah~”

On the calm sea, Andy stopped the motorboat, lay back leisurely with his hands as pillow, and let out a long sigh.

Some faint light still shone through the clouds and onto his angular face. He looked up at the dark blue sky, his thoughts drifting away.

He could understand the behavior of the civilians just now.

They were grateful, but did not dare to get too involved with themselves as pirates, after all, they still had to continue living on that land.

He accepted the treasures not only to accept their gratitude, but also to take full responsibility for the affairs of the Bay of Bones.

“Zhao! So annoying!”

Andy cursed irritably, sat up, and continued to drive the motorboat towards the next island before it got completely dark.

The sea breeze was howling, the waves were hitting the hull, and the splashing water wet his clothes, but it failed to dispel the boredom in his heart.

————The next morning.

At the naval headquarters of Marinford, sunlight shines through the tall windows onto the smooth ground.

Brannew hurried into the Marshal’s office, holding a piece of intelligence in his hand with a serious look on his face.

“Marshal Warring States!” Branny saluted and handed over the information.

Zhan Guo took it with an indifferent expression and slowly started reading. After a moment, he raised his eyes and ordered, “Ask Vice Admiral Tsuru to come over.”

“Yes!” Brannew turned and walked away quickly.

Soon, Lieutenant General He arrived at the Marshal’s office.

She pushed open the door, her steps steady but capable, and asked as soon as she entered the door: “What’s wrong, Zhan Guo, did something happen?”

“Take a look at this first.” Zhan Guo looked serious and did not answer directly. Instead, he handed the document to Lieutenant General He.

Vice Admiral Tsuru took the document, sat down opposite Sengoku, and gently opened it.

The office was very quiet, with only the faint sound of shuffling papers.

Brannew stood quietly by the side, not daring to make a sound.

After reading it, Vice Admiral He showed a serious expression on his face, just like Sengoku: “Sengoku, do you mean that the rise of the Red Owl may affect the balance of the ocean today?”

Zhan Guo nodded slowly, his tense expression relaxed a little, his voice was low and full of majesty: “I infer that the Red Owl should enter the Grand Line soon, and we will take action when the time comes. We can’t let him do whatever he wants, we must keep him under control!”

“I understand. I will arrange someone to do this when the time comes. I will force him to enter the new world as soon as possible and will not let him cause too much trouble in the paradise.” Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded slightly.

She knew very well that what Zhan Guo said was absolutely right. The red owl Andy could stir up waves on the sea, but he could never destroy the delicate balance of the sea.

In the eyes of the World Government, the existence of pirates is a necessary “incentive” that can make the member states pay protection fees obediently.

With the power of the World Government, it would be easy to eliminate most of the pirates, but this is not in their interests.

They will never do anything that is not motivated by profit.

Moreover, the World Government represents justice and is the symbol of the world’s highest power. It must maintain a glorious and majestic image in the outside world.

Only when there is a steady and controllable supply of pirates can they continue to enforce justice!

After the two of them had discussed it, Lieutenant General Tsuru immediately began to implement the plan.

She is well aware of the importance of publicity and must make the world see Andy the Red Owl as an unforgivable pirate.

So she contacted the World Economic News in Morgans and asked them to publish the Bay of Bones incident in the newspaper according to her and Zhan Guo’s wishes.

————

Somewhere in the sky above the New World.

A huge airship pulled by a group of albatrosses appeared and disappeared in the clouds, constantly changing its position.

This is the headquarters of the World Economic News Agency. The inside of the airship is busy with staff members shuttling back and forth, handling various news releases.

Morgans was now sitting in his spacious office, holding the documents sent from the Navy Headquarters.

His face originally had a relaxed look on it, but after reading the document, a look of disdain and sneer emerged on it.

“It’s the same thing again. The credit for good deeds always belongs to your world government, and the evil deeds must be borne by the pirates. What a hypocritical world…hahahaha…” Morgans laughed, and his laughter echoed in the office, but it was also hinted at self-mockery.

He couldn’t help but think of his former glory in the underground world. The big news Morgans has now become a tool to cooperate with the world government.

But he also understood that he had no choice. He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to turn against the World Government, waiting for a chaotic era that would overturn the existing order.

“Someone come!” Morgans suddenly shouted.

A staff member quickly pushed the door open and said, “President!”

“Publish this news verbatim on the front page of tomorrow’s newspaper!” Morgans ordered, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

“Yes!” The staff member took the order and left in a hurry.

Soon, the “evil deeds” of Andy the Red Owl were sent via telegram to printing houses all over the ocean.

The printing press began to roar, and newspapers were printed out and were about to be sent to all parts of the world.

Andy the Red Owl is portrayed as a pirate who does all kinds of evil, while the World Government still maintains the image of being high above and upholding justice.

On this seemingly calm but undercurrent-filled ocean, a storm surrounding the red owl Andy is quietly brewing.

All forces are gearing up to prepare for the upcoming changes.

And Andy, the pirate regarded as a threat by the World Government, is heading towards unknown waters, unaware that he has become a key link in the World Government’s layout.

————

At this time Andy has arrived in the Kingdom of Cortez, which is also a country where gangs are rampant and the Mafia is everywhere.

This is also the hometown where he grew up.

His grandmother died in a gang fight, although he later killed a gang leader at all costs.

But he doesn’t think the matter is over!

In this world, grandma is his only relative and the one who loves him the most.

Those gangsters must pay for this!

This time he came back on a merchant ship. As soon as he got ashore, he found that there was no change here since he left a few years ago.

Still the same chaos as always.

More than three years have passed, and Andy has changed a lot. If you look at the street, no one would recognize him unless you compare him with his photos.

Andy felt mixed emotions as he returned to his hometown after more than three years away.

He did not stay at the port for too long, and his steps unconsciously moved in the direction of his memory. Before long, he arrived at the door of his former home.

Looking at the slightly worn-out door, Andy’s hands trembled slightly as he slowly pushed it open. With a creaking sound, the door slowly opened, and a stale smell blew in.

The house had fallen into disrepair over the years, and was covered with dense spider webs everywhere. In the dim light, it seemed as if a large web had enveloped the entire house. The furniture was scattered all over the place, as if it had been roughly rummaged through, and it was in a mess.

Andy walked into the house, raised his hand and gently pushed away the cobwebs in front of him, came to the small living room, bent down and picked up a photo that had fallen on the ground. The photo was covered with a thick layer of dust.

He wiped it gently with his hand, and as the dust gradually faded away, grandma’s kind face slowly emerged.

In the photo, grandma had a gentle smile on her lips and her eyes were full of love for him.

“Grandma, I’m back.” Andy stroked the photo gently, his lips trembling slightly, and murmured, his voice full of attachment and longing.

His eyes moved slowly around the house, as if he could see every detail of his life with his grandmother.

Those warm memories now flooded into his heart like a tide, making his eyes gradually moist.

————

Not far outside Andy’s home, the gangster intelligence officer who had been monitoring here was instantly filled with endless fear on his face after seeing Andy enter the house.

Andy the Red Owl, he is back as expected!
