Chapter 18 I, Gao Wen, Lieutenant Commander (Ch 18)

Of course, Clo’s request was not fulfilled and could not be successful.
Excluding the existence of devil fruits which go beyond common sense, even the best doctors have to abide by basic rules.
Without Clo, a potential bronze-level talent, Gawain’s daily experience points returned to the expected level.
Stabilize in the range of twenty to thirty.
Look at this data.
Gao Wen fell into deep thought for a while.
The experience points provided by the bronze-level Clo’s daily practice alone have reached more than ten points.
This means that as long as there are two people with bronze potential on the ship, the experience provided every day can be equal to that of the more than one hundred people on the ship whose potential has not been exhausted.
The gap between people is secondary. The bigger problem is that the overly large pirate group has become a burden in this situation.
This is especially true since Gawain has plans to travel to the Grand Line.
Not to mention anything else, just the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of hundreds of people every day, plus the consumption of medical care and ammunition, is a huge number.
The warship that Gawain had captured originally contained enough supplies to feed more than a hundred people for a month. However, after the Black Cat Pirates merged with their men, the supplies were reduced to only enough to last for ten days.
Not to mention that there were dozens of wounded people and the medical supplies on board had long been exhausted.
“Before heading to the Grand Line, taking the title of Shichibukai, and establishing a stable base.”
“It’s better to go with an elite team like the Straw Hats, Red Hair, and Roger. This will be most beneficial to my ability.”
“After all, the experience provided by a bronze-level potential Kro is enough to rival that of 70 or 80 ordinary pirates with black iron potential, and the harvesting period is significantly longer.”
“Not to mention the seeds of silver, gold and even legendary potential that may exist in the future.”
Thinking of this, Gao Wen made a decision in his heart.
As long as the subsequent plans go smoothly and we recruit a few more crew members with outstanding potential, we will begin to streamline the team and build an elite team of crew members with potential of at least bronze or above before entering the Grand Line.
Moreover, for these pirates whose potential has been exhausted, instead of heading to the Grand Voyage to die, it is better for them to stay in the East China Sea. With their own strength and Gawain standing behind them, they can still make a living.
However, the speed at which supplies on the ship were consumed was beyond Gawain’s expectations. After only three days, food and medicine were running out.
In the captain’s room.
Gao Wen and several cadres gathered here, with serious expressions on their faces.
“Captain, the remaining food is only enough to sustain us for five days. It is barely enough to support us to return to the base on Pala Island, but the medical supplies and ammunition there have already run out.”
“If the injured brothers don’t receive timely treatment, most of them will not be able to hold on. We…”
Zangao reported the situation of the pirate group with a serious face. After all, he was not a cold-blooded man like Kuro, and he was unwilling to watch his subordinates die in such pain.
The cat brother sitting next to him was also like this. Seeing that Gawain had no reaction, he hurriedly spoke to persuade him:
“Many of these people were trained by you, Captain, and they are considered elite. It would be a loss to let them die like this.”
Gawain raised his hand to signal the three to be quiet, then looked at Clo:
“Do you have a stable purchasing channel?”
Clo nodded:
“Previously, our arms and medical supplies were supplied by Ha Bingjie of Raven Harbor.”
“But that guy had an accident a while ago, and was recently rescued from the navy. I’m worried that it might be a hook set by the navy.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Gawain remained unmoved:
“If the navy dares to take action, their hands will be chopped off!”
“snort.”
Chloe pushed up his glasses, a slight smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Gao Wen’s answer was within his expectations. He even instinctively felt that this was the way it should be.
Only such courage could be worthy of Gawain’s terrifying talent and monstrous power.
Zangao and the cat brothers looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, when he looked at Gawain, in addition to fear, there was also a bit of respect.
There are captains in this era who are willing to do this for their subordinates, but they are definitely not many.
The next day.
Gawain’s fleet was divided into two groups.
The three pirate ships that originally belonged to the Black Cat Pirates, commanded by the Catman Brothers and Zango, rushed back to their base on Para Island with the wounded and some members who had no combat effectiveness.
Gawain led Clo and a ship of elite pirates, driving a navy warship towards Raven Harbor.
Many naval soldiers and Monka uniforms are still preserved on this warship.
After Gawain ordered his subordinates to change into soldiers’ clothes, he himself changed into a smaller version of Monka’s clothes. Then, all the pirates on the ship suddenly transformed into marines.
Especially Gawain, who was born with a handsome face. After putting on the uniform of a naval lieutenant, he exuded an upright aura from the inside out.
Judging from his appearance alone, no one would believe that he is not a navy soldier.
The corner of Clo’s mouth twitched.
If Gawain had not already taken the position of captain, he would have suspected that Gawain was an undercover agent of the navy.
“You becoming a pirate is a real loss to the Navy.”
Cloe exclaimed in admiration, and after seeing that Gawain looked a little strange, he was too lazy to continue dwelling on this issue.
He also changed into a naval lieutenant’s uniform, and with his gentle looks and gloomy temperament, he actually looked somewhat decent.
“It’s settled.”
“With the way we look, we definitely look more like regular navy than most regular navy members.”
Gawain patted Clo’s shoulder, and the latter smiled:
“yes!”
“Sir!”
…
…
…
At the same time.
Near Raven Harbor.
A huge fleet consisting of nearly twenty pirate ships slowly docked in a bay.
After confirming that no one is following you.
Admiral Creek, wearing golden armor and with short lavender hair, walked out of the giant ship in the center of the fleet and came to the deck.
He picked up a telescope and looked towards the harbor at the end of his sight.
Even though it was dozens of miles away, from his position he could still see countless merchant ships coming and going, each of which was fully loaded with goods from all over the world and even from the great shipping routes.
It can be said to be extremely prosperous.
Creek looked at the scene in the distance, and couldn’t help revealing a trace of greed in his eyes. Then he lowered his head and looked at the sea chart in his hand:
“Raven Harbor is one of the ports that merchant ships in the East China Sea must pass through, but there is no naval branch stationed nearby. As long as we occupy this place, it is equivalent to holding the traffic throat of dozens of nearby cities.”
“Even if we sit and do nothing, we will get countless Baileys every day.”
“By then I’ll be able to build an invincible fleet, and not even the Grand Line can stop me!”
At this time.
A man with a striped turban, skinny and ghost-like, slowly walked up to Creek and said calmly:
“Captain, what do you need me to do?”
“Same old.”
Creek glanced at the man and grinned:
“Ajin, you lead your men to disguise as navy men and sneak into Raven Harbor. After eliminating the internal resistance, we will work together from inside and outside to capture them.”
“yes.”
Ajin nodded:
“but.”
“The warship we robbed earlier has a minor problem. It will take some time to debug. I’m afraid it will take a few days.”
“Um.”
Creek nodded:
“Hurry up, otherwise things will change. No one can predict what will happen if you delay for too long.”
“yes!”
