Bang!
The office door slammed shut.
"Damn it, aaaargh!!!"
Eyes bloodshot, Murak violently overturned his desk and proceeded to smash everything in the office.
After raging uselessly for quite some time, Murak finally calmed down.
"You'll regret this, Luo Ya!"
Yet there was still nothing he could do.
A little internal turmoil in the branch was no problem; it would not interfere with his profiteering. But if he let Luo Ya go unchecked, before long, all of Loguetown would be thrown into chaos.
Murak picked up the Den Den Mushi.
"Siro!"
"Commodore."
"Report this to headquarters. Say that Lieutenant Commander Luo Ya has seriously disrupted the discipline of Loguetown, and submit a joint petition to transfer Lieutenant Commander Luo Ya to another branch!"
"Understood!"
Murak hung up with a gloomy expression.
If he could not afford to provoke him, could he not avoid him?
A lieutenant commander was a core pillar of a branch, especially someone like Luo Ya, who had risen through merit. Even as base chief, Murak could not punish Luo Ya on his own authority.
Still, he could pin charges like disrupting discipline on him. Every captain in the branch was one of his men; with enough people saying the same thing, he did not fear headquarters sending someone to investigate.
If anyone was to blame, it was that brat for refusing to fit in!
Meanwhile, in Luo Ya's office.
Luo Ya sat with one leg crossed over the other, considering his next move.
Having completely fallen out with Murak, he had to prepare for the man's retaliation. He was not worried about force, but he needed to guard against underhanded tricks.
By now, he had established a bit of authority within the branch. At the very least, more than two hundred New Recruits would stand on
