"Long live Lord Victor!"
"Long live Lord Victor!"
"Long live Lord Victor!"
At this moment, all the Navy in Branch 189 were shouting "Long live Lord Victor!"
Gana suddenly realized something.
He had almost kicked a steel plate by accident.
"A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Gana hurriedly forced a smile and said to Oren, "Colonel Oren, although I am here to investigate, I believe this has nothing to do with Branch 189."
Oren had already revealed his hand, clearly stating he was Victor's subordinate.
If Gana were to investigate Oren further, it would be tantamount to opposing Victor.
Even though Gana was the highest-ranking officer in CP4, CP4 was insignificant in front of a Navy Vice Admiral, especially a future Navy Admiral or Fleet Admiral.
Gana dared not offend Victor.
Gana was greedy for money and afraid of death, but he understood the importance of knowing when to switch allegiances.
Now, Gana understood why the Gorosei had sent him to handle matters concerning the Kingdom of Arthur.
The Gorosei must have known long ago that Victor was behind Oren.
"Then how can I cooperate with your investigation, Commander Gana?"
Oren asked with a smile.
After receiving Victor's support, Oren knew that no one in the South Blue could do anything to him.
In the past, when Victor was just a Colonel, even Marine Headquarters couldn't deal with him.
Now that Victor was a Vice Admiral, what did Oren have to fear?
"Hahaha." Gana let out an awkward laugh. "Colonel Oren, aren't we already investigating?"
Oren wore a smile on his face.
The surrounding Navy officers also had smiles on their faces.
With Victor protecting them, what else did they have to fear?
At this moment, Oren took out a cigarette and offered one to Gana. "Commander Gana, would you be willing to have a meal with us?"
"Of course, of course."
Gana had no reason to refuse.
He had almost kicked a steel plate just now, and now Oren was extending an olive branch. This was a good opportunity for him to ease their relationship.
Oren and Gana went to the best restaurant in William Port.
After the food and drinks were served, Oren said to Gana, "Commander Gana, have you ever heard of the 'Blue Sea Plan'?"
"The Blue Sea Plan?" Gana heard this and shook his head.
He hadn't heard of it.
Oren said earnestly, "This is Lord Victor's dream. Lord Victor wants to purify the evil forces on the sea and make the sea pure and azure."
"So that's what it means." Gana suddenly understood.
Oren continued, "We are all members of the Blue Sea Society, voluntarily following Lord Victor and striving towards Lord Victor's dream."
Gana's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
The Blue Sea Society? That meant Victor's faction!
Oren's words were telling Gana that they were all Victor's confidants.
Oren said, "If Commander Gana shares the same aspirations as us, you can join us."
"I can join too?" Gana was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
Oren laughed heartily, "As long as you are willing to follow Lord Victor, we welcome you."
The Blue Sea Society was a faction Oren had spontaneously created.
As Victor's subordinates, how could they highlight their 'loyalty'?
This required Oren's imagination.
First, they needed to bring more money to Victor.
Second, they needed to expand Victor's influence.
Only in this way would Victor recognize Oren's abilities and grant him greater authority.
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing." Gana mistakenly believed that the Blue Sea Society was founded by Victor and that joining it would make him Victor's confidant.
They drank and ate, and the meal cost over three million Belly.
Gana insisted on paying.
Gana wrote a report and included in it the matter of Count Reinhardt giving him 200 million Belly.
Afterward, Gana returned to the Kingdom of Arthur with the investigation report.
This time, Gana went directly to see Duke Richard.
Gana handed the investigation report to Duke Richard.
After reading the report, Duke Richard's face turned ashen.
Duke Richard never expected that Gana would bite back.
"Mr. Gana, what do you mean by this?" Duke Richard asked with a cold expression.
As the future king of a World Government member nation, Duke Richard had to maintain his presence.
Gana replied, "I found no evidence of any crime within Branch 189. On the contrary, as soon as I arrived at Fast Port, Count Reinhardt bribed me. These are all facts, and I have simply written them truthfully in the investigation report."
Before Duke Richard could retort.
Gana continued, "Although CP4 and the Navy are different systems, what we do is for justice and stability. Now you are bribing me to frame the just Navy. I cannot do such a thing."
Upon hearing this, Duke Richard's eyes widened.
According to the information Duke Richard had gathered, Gana was greedy and afraid of death.
As long as there was money to be made, Gana wouldn't care who the other party was; he would still frame even highly respected individuals and send them to Enies Lobby for trial.
However, the current Gana was a completely different person.
He spoke of justice at every turn.
"Alright, I will submit this report to my superiors."
After Gana finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"Wait." Duke Richard hurriedly called out to Gana.
Submitting it to superiors meant submitting it to the Gorosei.
"Officer Gana, we are willing to offer this much more." Duke Richard held up one hand.
An additional 500 million Belly.
Including the 200 million Belly already offered, the Kingdom of Arthur was willing to pay 700 million Belly to deal with Oren.
In Duke Richard's view, Gana was trying to extort more money at the last minute.
However, as long as the problem could be solved with money, Duke Richard was willing to solve it.
After Oren was dealt with, if a 'normal' commander could be assigned to Branch 189, everything would return to normal.
Otherwise, as long as Oren remained, the Kingdom of Arthur would have no peace.
"I will also record this matter."
Gana said to Duke Richard.
Duke Richard's expression changed drastically!
He realized the situation was more serious than he had imagined!
Oren sent a fax to Victor.
The content was related to Gana.
The World Government had sent Gana to investigate Branch 189, and Oren had not only resolved the issue but also recruited Gana into the Blue Sea Society.
In the fax, Oren specifically mentioned the Blue Sea Society.
According to Oren, the Blue Sea Society consisted of Victor's most devout followers, and every member was willing to sacrifice their lives for Victor's dream.
At this moment.
In the office of the commander of Branch G1.
Victor smiled as he read the letter from Oren.
The Blue Sea Society?
That was indeed a creative idea.
Victor thought for a moment and decided to promote the Blue Sea Society, turning it into a true 'organization.'
Subsequently, Victor wrote a letter of recommendation, intending to recommend Oren to become an Admiral in the Sixth Division Fleet.
