Rules of the Black Market

Level 1 battle readiness means being prepared for combat at any time during the readiness period.

During this period, all recreational activities are strictly prohibited.

For the Marine Soldiers of Branch G1, this is definitely not good news!

Within the Branch G1 camp.

When the Marine Soldiers, dragging their exhausted bodies, wanted to return to the barracks to rest after a day of training.

They discovered that the inspection team was already present outside the barracks.

The inspection team for Branch G1 had been replaced.

Victor had transferred the Special Operations Unit to become the inspection team.

The inspection team's first task was to patrol the battle readiness status of Branch G1.

During the readiness period, any slackness found among the Navy would be immediately addressed through education!

The members of the inspection team entered the barracks, conducted a brief inspection, and then left.

Only after the inspection team departed did the Marine Soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.

If the inspection team had discovered them drinking or gambling, they would have been in serious trouble!

It wasn't just the lower-ranking soldiers.

The officers of Branch G1 were no exception.

The inspection team would also supervise the officers.

This kept the officers on edge.

They dared not show any disrespect to the new commander.

Because if they violated military regulations, they would invite big trouble.

On the tenth day of Level 1 battle readiness.

Gion entered Victor's office and asked, "Is it really okay to maintain Level 1 battle readiness?"

Victor replied with a smile, "I am the commander here, so of course, it's fine."

Kaki grumbled, "What is this guy planning now?"

The officers of Branch G1 were afraid of Victor, but Kaki was not.

After all, he didn't plan to stay in Branch G1 for long.

Moreover, Gion would not be staying in Branch G1 for long either.

Because Headquarters would transfer them back after some time.

"Of course, it's for justice," Victor said seriously.

"I don't believe you,"

Kaki said dismissively.

At this moment, Wright walked in, holding a document.

"Report, the intelligence on the New World's underground forces has been compiled."

Wright placed the document in front of Victor.

This information was collected by the Navy.

Although there was a lot of information, it was certainly not comprehensive.

After all, the Navy was not CP0, not professionals in intelligence.

Victor flipped through the intelligence and documents, then found a name.

Kaki and Gion leaned over to look at the table.

Beast Kari, the King of the New World Black Market.

"Are you going to find him?"

Gion inquired.

"But he doesn't seem to be wanted," Kaki mumbled.

The black market had always been a gray area.

The Navy also purchased intelligence from the black market.

Pirates were no exception.

When Victor was in the South Blue, he maintained close contact with the South Blue black market.

"Let's go have a chat with them," Victor said with a smile.

Saladi Island, this was the most 'neutral' island in the New World.

Both the Navy and Pirates could come to this island.

Of course, the prerequisite for the Navy to come to this island was to avoid disputes and conflicts.

Otherwise, this island and the New World's black market would not welcome, nor do business with the Navy.

Similarly, pirates who come to this island must also abide by this rule.

Otherwise, they will also be blacklisted, and the black market will no longer do business with them.

As the king of the New World's black market, Beast Kari lived a very comfortable life every day.

He liked chaos, and he also liked order.

Chaos could bring wealth, while order allowed him to control certain things.

For example, on Saladi Island, he was the order; his word was everything.

Brubrubru...

Brubrubru...

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi kept ringing.

Kari picked up the receiver, "What is it?"

"Lord Kari, some Navy personnel have arrived," a subordinate reported.

Kari said dismissively, "The Navy are also guests, don't make a fuss."

How many underground forces in the New World didn't do business with the World Government?

CP0 were regular visitors here.

Therefore, Kari was not flustered by the Navy at all.

What's more, Kari had also sent Celestial Gold to the Celestial Dragons.

"Vice Admiral Victor has arrived," the subordinate said.

"Victor? The new commander of Branch G1?"

Kari was stunned by the news, then said to his subordinate, "Go and bring him to see me."

Since he was a big client, naturally, he couldn't be treated poorly.

At this moment, five warships arrived at the dock of Saladi Island.

Victor, along with Gion, Kaki, and a large contingent of Navy personnel, disembarked at the dock.

At this time, there were no pirate ships docked at the pier.

The black market had its own rules.

No vessels were allowed to enter the black market directly.

This was the rule.

Of course, the Navy and CP0 were exceptions.

At this moment, Victor, leading a large group of Navy personnel, swaggered into the black market.

The black market was not like a wet market.

Instead, it resembled a bank.

Behind each window, tellers were providing services.

At this moment, some people were buying firearms, while others were buying ship cannons.

Gion, Kaki, and the others were certainly impressed.

Besides military supplies, medicine, food, and clothing, one could also hire assassins, purchase intelligence, buy and sell people, and so on.

"Vice Admiral Victor, this way please."

A man wearing an eyepatch approached Victor.

At the man's invitation, Victor was led to the building in the center of the island.

This building was a castle.

As the drawbridge was lowered and the castle gate opened, Victor and the others entered the castle.

"This way, please."

The eyepatch man led Victor onto a lift.

This castle was 7 stories high, comparable to a fortress.

Inside the castle, there were guards at every few steps.

The black market employed many 'security guards'.

Finally, the eyepatch man brought Victor to a room.

The eyepatch man pushed the door open.

Victor saw everything inside the room.

In a huge room, a tall man was seated.

The man was Beast Kari.

"Hahahaha."

Kaki laughed and said to Victor, "I didn't expect to meet Vice Admiral Victor so soon."

Victor walked in with Gion, Kaki, and others.

Seeing that Victor hadn't greeted him, Kaki felt Victor was a bit rude. So, he put on a cold face and said, "May I ask Vice Admiral Victor what brings you here?"

Victor said, "The black market will henceforth be brought under the Navy's supervision."

"???" Kaki's face was full of question marks, and then he burst into laughter, "Vice Admiral Victor, do you know what this place is?"

After laughing for a while, Kaki looked at Victor seriously, "This is a neutral zone recognized by the World Government."

Victor said, "That was before I arrived. Now I'm informing you that this place has been brought under supervision. From now on, all shopping lists here must be submitted to the Navy."

"Please leave. You are not welcome here," Kaki snorted. Protecting customer information was the black market's tenet.

"What if I don't leave?" Victor asked with a smile.

Kaki looked at Victor, then clenched his fist and grinned menacingly, "It seems you don't quite understand my terror!"
