An Intelligence Organization Needs No Name

At the port of Marine Base 36, the ones seeing her off this time were no longer the entire base's soldiers, but only Hina and Yang Yunzhi.

Watching Gion's ship fade into the distance, Hina asked, "She wanted to transfer you to Marine Headquarters. Why didn't you go?"

"What do you think?" Yang Yunzhi gently took Hina's hand and asked with a smile.

Hina blushed, but still said, "In the Four Seas, it's hard to earn merit and rise through the ranks. Being promoted two ranks in ten years would already be impressive. But at Marine Headquarters, with your abilities, you could become a rear admiral in five years!"

"So what?" Yang Yunzhi shook his head. "I have no desire to become an admiral; I only wish for peace upon the seas. What I truly seek is for the people of the Four Seas to live and work in peace, not personal positions or military rank!"

"Don't forget our cause!" Yang Yunzhi looked at Hina.

Hina froze for a moment, then suddenly understood.

That's right, they were going to stand against the World Government! How could they oppose the World Government if they went to Marine Headquarters? Of course, they had to develop their power in the Four Seas!

In truth, that was all nonsense. The main reason was that Yang Yunzhi knew the plot hadn't reached that point yet. No matter how hard he worked now, it would be useless.

Besides, all three admiral positions were already filled. Even if he had the strength, they would not promote him.

He might as well quietly build up his own forces in the Four Seas.

Colonel Nezumi had sheltered Arlong for so many years without anyone discovering it. Colonel Morgan had outright built a cult of personality in his own area. If Garp had not come, nothing would have happened to him.

Those two examples alone showed what the Marines in the Four Seas were like. They were practically local tyrants.

With such great authority, would it not be a waste not to use it?

And it seemed that becoming an admiral required going through some kind of loyalty test?

It would be better to wait until after the Paramount War, when an admiral position became vacant, and get promoted then.

Of course, he might even be promoted directly to fleet admiral. That would depend on how well Yang Yunzhi developed his forces by then.

Although this was a world that placed extreme importance on individual strength, he still needed to have his own forces. He could not possibly handle everything personally!

"By the way, how is your ability development going?" Yang Yunzhi suddenly asked.

Hina rolled her eyes. "When have I had time these days to develop my Devil Fruit?"

She spent the daytime training troops, and at night she had to indulge her little boyfriend. She truly had no time to improve her personal strength.

Yang Yunzhi was somewhat speechless and quickly said, "But now that we're both Devil Fruit users, how about using the daytime for training?"

"But I still need to train the troops!" Hina said.

"You can leave troop training to your subordinates. Pick out a few instructors, then have them do nothing but train soldiers!" Yang Yunzhi said. "This is a world where personal strength reigns supreme. Soldier combat power is all superficial, so you need to learn how to use people and delegate your work!"

"That does make sense!" Hina nodded. "A few Marines have already learned the essentials. I'll promote them to instructors right away! By the way, what about you? Shouldn't you also find people to share your work?"

"I plan to find a capable secretary!" Yang Yunzhi thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Would you agree if I found a smart, pretty female secretary with a great figure?"

Hina's gaze sharpened, her eyes brimming with killing intent. "You dare!"

"Fine." Yang Yunzhi sighed. It seemed he could only keep Robin outside.

But the problem was, he still had not found Robin!

"Do you know where Admiral Aokiji is right now?" Yang Yunzhi suddenly asked. "Is he in the West Blue?"

"How did you know?" Hina asked. "He did come to the West Blue these past two days!"

Admiral Aokiji guarded the Grand Line year-round. Occasionally, he would cross the Calm Belt and inspect the Four Seas.

Hina had naturally received notice from the admiral, but she had not expected Yang Yunzhi to care about it, so she had not told him.

How could I not know? That guy Aokiji followed Robin around for nearly twenty years. Who knew whether he was some kind of pervert.

"Where in the West Blue is he?" Yang Yunzhi asked.

"I don't know that, but the commander of Branch 82 on Ghost Mulberry Island in the West Blue met him yesterday!"

"Are there any famous mafia forces around Ghost Mulberry Island?" Yang Yunzhi asked.

"This..." Hina shook her head. "I really don't know!"

Then she remembered something. "Wait, isn't the Intelligence Office under your command? Why are you asking me for intelligence?"

You had a very good point. He was actually left speechless.

"It hasn't opened for business yet!" Yang Yunzhi scratched his head awkwardly. "But the Door-Door Fruit is already in place, so this intelligence organization should naturally begin operations!"

"You wanted the Door-Door Fruit to build an intelligence organization?" Hina asked in surprise. "Wasn't it for storing ammunition?"

"That was just to fool Gion!" Yang Yunzhi said. "The space opened by the Door-Door Fruit can not only store things, but people too, and its interior is infinitely large. Intelligence organizations have extremely high secrecy requirements, so the headquarters of our Intelligence Office and all kinds of intelligence can be placed entirely within that alternate space. Then no one will ever be able to find them!"

"I see!" Hina nodded. If they were merely setting up an intelligence organization for Base 36, then there was nothing wrong with putting its headquarters in Base 36.

But if it was an intelligence organization meant to resist the World Government, then they would have to find another location for its headquarters.

Yet the World Government's spies were also highly capable. If they truly established a headquarters in the West Blue, it would be easily discovered.

But now that they had the Door-Door Fruit, they had an intelligence organization headquarters that could never be found.

"Come to think of it, shouldn't our intelligence organization have a name?" Hina suddenly thought of something.

Military Intelligence Office was the name of a department, not the name of an intelligence organization.

"I know there is an organization in the North Blue that sells intelligence called the Joker Organization! I think we could call ours the King Organization!"

Yang Yunzhi was speechless. "Can an intelligence organization whose name is known by others still be called an intelligence organization? Can an exposed intelligence organization still gather classified intelligence?"

"Huh?" Hina froze. That did seem to be true!

"So, our intelligence organization will not have a name, but it can also have many names!" Yang Yunzhi said with a smile. "Just watch how I handle it when the time comes!"

"Mhm!" Hina nodded. He could even handle something like wiping out the mafia with such ease. What kind of approach would he take with this intelligence organization?

"But there's something I need to report to you in advance!" Yang Yunzhi said. "In the future, I may often be away from the base during the day, and at night, I might not necessarily come back either!"

"No!" Without even thinking, Hina immediately shook her head. "I don't agree!"

"How can you not agree? If I'm building an intelligence organization, I'll definitely need to travel everywhere. But at my speed, I can cover at most two hundred li a day. Does that mean our intelligence organization will be limited to that two-hundred-li range?"

"This..." That did seem to make sense.

But they had only just started dating. Were they going to be separated already?

If I had known resisting the World Government would cost so much, I would have...

Fine, she still had to resist them. After all, Yang Yunzhi was definitely going to resist them. If she did not, they could never be together.

"Fine, but you can't stay away too long. You have to come back at least once every three days!"

"Ten days!"

"No, five days!"

"Eight days!"

"Seven days, all right? Come back at least once a week!"

"Fine!" Yang Yunzhi nodded, then added, "Actually, I have an idea for the Door-Door Fruit. Once I develop that ability, let alone every seven days, I might even be able to come back every day!"

"Really? What ability?" Hina asked curiously.

"Any Door, or perhaps a teleportation gate!" Yang Yunzhi said. "As long as I open a door, I can instantly travel from the East Blue to the West Blue, or from the South Blue to the North Blue!"

"Does such a door exist?" Listening to Yang Yunzhi's description, Hina blinked. No matter how hard she tried, she could not imagine what such a door would look like.

"Of course it does. For the sake of our happy life, it has to exist!!"

Naturally, the natives of the One Piece World did not know about dimensional gates, but how could he, a transmigrator, not know?

Dimensional gates, spacetime gates, Any Doors, stargates—he had seen plenty of them!

He even had relevant physics concepts in his mind. He refused to believe he could not develop it!
