Water 7 an Upper City similar to Venice.

Nami and Vivi didn't come this time, so Ma Qiao wasn't interested in taking the rough guys on a ride in the special little boat.

Especially Graves, who's supposedly acting strangely, makes Ma Qiao even less inclined to go sightseeing.

After saying goodbye to Teach, Ma Qiao took the letter of introduction and went to the west gate of Galley-La Company.

At the gate, boatman Barry was arguing with several naval soldiers.

"Colonel Garen from the East Blue, and the 'Roots' he leads, are far superior in quality to you Marines from the main fleet."

I was drinking and chatting with him, unlike you guys who are so arrogant and look down on everyone.

"How can the East Blue Branch compare to our Marine Headquarters?"

The soldiers guarding the gate argued their case forcefully.

"The Root Organization has fought against Shanks and Red Nose, the two Emperors of the Sea, working together. Who have you ever faced?"

Barry's words left the gatekeeper speechless.

"I'm just a bystander, with no vested interest, but I'm here to say something fair."

Ma Qiao stepped forward, handing the invitation to the guard while offering his objective and fair assessment.

"Kenpachi Zaraki, the great swordsman of the Six-Sword Style- Kenpachi Zaraki; Ulpo D. Kuro, the son of the Pirate King Emperor Clown Buggy; and Fire Fist Ace, who just makes up the numbers. Most of the current Worst Generation come from the East Blue, a sea full of vicious thugs."

The Root Organization could take root, sprout, and thrive in such a sinful environment demonstrates its commitment to justice and its yearning for the light, making it a truly outstanding force within the navy.

However, the sailors at Marine Headquarters have certainly put in a lot of hard work, even if they haven't achieved great things. As a shipwright, you shouldn't be too harsh on them."

Barry was naturally very pleased to hear Ma Qiao's seemingly fair but actually biased words.

"Sir, you're absolutely right. It was indeed a mistake of mine to apply the same standards I used for Mr. Garen to these headquarters naval personnel. I'll be more careful next time."

Just as the guards were about to reprimand this complete stranger who had appeared out of nowhere, they suddenly noticed the three large red seals on the letter of introduction.

Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku.

Admiral Zephyr, Marine Headquarters Commander.

Vice Admiral Garp, Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.

The three gleaming seals blinded the guards.

They huddled together, took out magnifying glasses, and examined and verified the seals repeatedly. In the end, they all concluded that the seals were genuine.

"Hiss!"

This time, they couldn't help but gasp for air.

"Who is this kid? Even the illegitimate son of Fleet Admiral Sengoku probably couldn't get a letter of introduction of this caliber!"

"What do you mean 'kid'? It's this gentleman!"

"Yes, regardless of this gentleman's identity, his letter of introduction is absolutely genuine!"

After reaching an agreement, the guards respectfully opened the gate and let Mr. Ma Qiao in.

One of them even offered to guide Ma Qiao.

Ma Qiao also did Barry a favor and let him come in with him.

It turned out that the reason Barry had argued with the guards earlier was because he had left an important document in the studio.

However, the naval guards refused him entry, citing that he did not have proper credentials.

"Actually, we can't entirely blame the navy guys."

Barry is someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force, and now that the Navy's attitude is very good, he has admitted his mistake. "I remember clearly having my pass with me, but somehow I can't find it. If that document hadn't been so urgent, I wouldn't have wanted to violate Navy regulations."

If Barry hadn't found a copy of his secretly drawn Kalifa sketchbook among a pile of drawings in his studio, Ma Qiao would almost have believed his lies.

However, to be fair, drawing is one of the basic skills for a boatman.

Barry's painting skills are excellent.

The Kalifa in the picture book seems to be dressed even more scantily than in real life.

"Are you interested in changing careers? Our 'Big Bird Boy Comics' needs someone like you."

Barry was startled by Ma Qiao's sudden appearance behind him, quickly stuffing his sketchbook into his pocket and saying, his face flushed, "..."

"I'm just an ordinary shipbuilder, I've never thought about changing careers, sir, you must be joking."

That's a real shame!

Ma Qiao handed over his business card. "If your illusions are shattered in the future, or if you find that after all that effort you've put in, you still have nothing, you can come find me."

After saying something that left Barry completely confused, Ma Qiao turned and left, heading towards Akainu's office.

At the same time.

East gate of Galley-La shipyard.

"Light blonde hair, with goggles on her forehead" (as pictured)

The naval soldiers guarding the gate used plastic cards to verify the identities of visitors.

However, just like every aspect of the One Piece world, this temporary pass is quite a joke.

Although the plastic card had anti-counterfeiting features and a code known only to the navy, the problem was that it didn't even have a basic photograph on it.

Rather, it served as a form of identification, similar to the "slightly bearded" or "beardless" identification in ancient stories.

The above only describes the basic characteristics of the holder.

The pass, registered to Galley-La's senior boatman Barry, only recorded information such as blond hair and goggles.

Thus, when the guard looked at the young man with a childlike face, although he felt that he did not look like a high-ranking shipwright, he hesitated for a moment and then let him pass.

And this so-called senior shipwright, Barry, was none other than Sabo, the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff, who also had medium-length, light-yellow hair and wore goggles.

"Infiltration a great success."

Sabo snapped his fingers, smiled, and then took out a small Den Den Mushi in a secluded corner.

Logically speaking, having met even Fleet Admiral, Marine Admiral shouldn't be anything special.

However, it must be said that Akainu exerts considerable pressure on people.

Although Garp and Sengoku weren't exactly benevolent figures, they at least always had a smile on their faces, like kind and approachable old people.

But Akainu is completely different.

He practically had the words "don't mess with me" written all over his face.

Ma Qiao looked at him, and he looked at Ma Qiao.

The two stared at each other in silence for a full three minutes.

The atmosphere was quite awkward.

A bead of sweat slid down Ma Qiao's forehead.

Did Jack betray me when he launched his Akainu?

Ma Qiao couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of a Fish-Man the Mammoth Fruit ability who was still lying at the bottom of the sea waiting for rescue.

They managed to sell me out before I could sell out my teammates. Jack, that's not fair!

However, after thinking about it again, Ma Qiao realized that things probably weren't that bad.

Jack, though he often doesn't know his own limitations and can be impulsive with anyone, is a very reliable friend and keeps his mouth shut.

Kanjuro, acting as a mole, contacted Jack multiple times to help him pinpoint the location of Zou.

But even when Jack is showing off, he always consciously protects him and doesn't reveal a single word.

He's much more reliable than someone with Kog'Maw like Xiang Yu.

While Ma Qiao's mind raced and his CPU was processing data at high speed, Akainu, after holding back for a long time, finally spoke.

"Um, Mr. Ma Qiao, right? I heard you're the developer of the Didi Beatdown app?"

"Ah?"

Ma Qiao paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Didi Beatdown is a Riot Games product of our Big Bird Consortium, and it's also the app with the highest download rate among our customers, receiving widespread praise from overseas merchants..."

I know all of that.

Akainu seemed to have made a tremendous decision, his face flushed. "Could you please delete all the negative reviews about Inuyasha for my sake?"

Delete?

Data tampering?

Open the back door?

How much is your pride worth?

Ma Qiao had intended to reprimand him loudly.

However, considering that Garp's Riot Games might not kill, but Red Dog's Riot Games could definitely kill, Ma Qiao swallowed his words and adopted a friendly and professional attitude.

"Akainu Admiral, the feedback mechanism in our app is primarily designed to protect the rights of our customers."

If customers consistently give you negative reviews, you should find ways to improve your service.

Of course, our company will also find ways to further protect the rights and interests of the thugs.

Your suggestions are invaluable. I will organize personnel to carefully study and actively research them, striving for innovation and using new ideas and methods to create a new situation, a new trend, and a new normal where customers and enforcers coordinate and promote each other...

Akainu was shocked as he listened to Ma Qiao's endless stream of rambling nonsense.

I listened, but it was like I didn't really hear it.

That's absolutely amazing.

Akainu even felt that if Mr. Ma Qiao had been allowed to write the conscription plan, the document that Fleet Admiral Sengoku would have had to eat would not have been as simple as ten centimeters.

He's finished spouting a bunch of nonsense.

Ma Qiao took out his notebook and began recording Akainu's complaints in a question-and-answer format.

Unlike Tang Hu and Ryokugyu, Akainu rose through the ranks to become Marine Admiral.

At the same time, they were among the earliest and most experienced thugs to register on the Didi Beatdown app.

His opinion was invaluable.

The reason why Ma Qiao is taking this matter so seriously is because he suddenly discovered a bug when Akainu asked him for help earlier.

That is, if I kill the hostages quickly enough, then I will never have a bad review.

Just like a bad parachute will never get a bad review.

This is more than just a hellish joke.

Ma Qiao did some calculations, and it was indeed feasible.

Fortunately, the Police Communicator is currently only being promoted in the East Blue and Marineford.

Although Akainu and Onigumo also have a history of killing hostages.

But to be fair, their original intention was still to complete the task and minimize the losses for the entire group.

This simplistic and crude approach is certainly wrong, but at the very least, Akainu and his crew would never find pleasure in it.

But if those lunatics in the G-5 Branch, or some unscrupulous navy, were to discover such a loophole, the consequences would be dire.

Fortunately, Ma Qiao realized this in time thanks to Akainu's reminder.

Ma Qiao quickly asked the programmer, Ekko, to fix the bug immediately and design a new scoring mechanism.

In the world of One Piece, the Navy's identity is not only that of soldiers; to civilians, they are often seen as police officers.

It would be truly tragic if I ended up like the Uchiha Police Force, where everyone fears and dreads them.

On a smaller scale, Ma Qiao's Didi Beatdown app can provide ordinary people with an extra layer of protection.

On a larger scale, isn't this also an attempt to constrain and improve the existing world order?
