Lin Yuan's order reached the entire world in just half a day. Whether it was Marine Base or Affiliated Nation of the World Government, those hidden among them began to take action.
Meanwhile, the World Government and the Navy are currently busy dealing with the impact of Straw Hat Luffy becoming the Pirate King and have not noticed these changes at all.
At Marine Base 110, Base Commander Wells was comfortably reclining in his office, while two slender, beautiful women massaged him from either side.
"That's great. I heard that Straw Hat Kid actually found Roger's treasure and reached the Laugh Tale. I wonder what kind of wealth it holds."
While comfortably smoking and enjoying the pleasant sensation on his body, Wells's tone was full of greed.
"Hehe, sir, what exactly is the treasure of Pirate King that so many people are so eager to find it?"
Wells squeezed the woman's soft flesh hard and laughed loudly.
"Hehehe, the treasure of Pirate King isn't necessarily a lot of Beli; it could also be many rare and precious treasures. Roger was one of the world's top fighters back then; if he could obtain those treasures..."
Wells didn't continue. Although he was also greedy for the Pirate King's treasure, he knew his own limitations; those people were simply not people he could afford to mess with.
Wells had spent a lot of Beli on bribes to get to the position of base commander, and he was quite satisfied with his current life.
The entire 110 base was under his control, and what he did was no different from that of a pirate, amassing wealth under the guise of collecting "Heavenly Tribute" and "protection fees."
Moreover, he was extremely licentious and frequently plundered beautiful women in his territory, causing many families to be ruined and many people to die. He even earned the nickname " Wild Dog " Wells.
However, because he had connections with the Marine Headquarters and the Celestial Dragons, and sent them large sums of tribute every year, no one dared to touch him, even though his reputation was terrible.
This made Wells even more greedy, turning him into a veritable local tyrant.
Wells pondered for a moment what the Pirate King's treasure might be, then turned his gaze to his two newly recruited secretaries, a surge of anger rising within him.
Just as he was about to savor these two beauties, a rapid knock on the door sounded.
Bang bang bang!
"Who? Don't they know I need to rest at this time? Didn't they even bother to inform the Den Den Mushi first?!"
Wells angrily withdrew his hand, giving the two women a cruel look that instantly shattered their spirits. They knew how ruthless Wells could be, and whether they would survive today was entirely up to fate.
"Chief of the Wells Territory, this is Aaron. Red is here too. I have something important to discuss with you."
A middle-aged man's voice sounded from outside the door, causing Wells to frown, a hint of fear and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Aaron is considered the third-in-command of the base. Since arriving at the base, he has been promoted very quickly. If he hadn't been there so long, he probably would have replaced me.
Wells couldn't figure out Aaron's background, but he knew that Aaron also had a powerful background and was even more financially powerful than himself. In just one year, he had won over half of the people in the Marine Base.
As for Red, Wells didn't take him seriously. He was just a nice guy at the Marine Base, the second-in-command, but he didn't have any real power.
"What do you need to report? Nothing major has happened here recently!"
Wells glared coldly at Aaron; their relationship had long since broken down, and he didn't even bother to hide his hostility.
Aaron ignored Wells, his gaze sweeping across the office. When he saw the two secretaries with frightened expressions, a cold look appeared on his face.
"Heh, Chief Wells, I wouldn't bother you unless it's something important, but this is an order from headquarters."
Upon hearing the order from Marine Headquarters, Wells became more serious; he wouldn't give Aaron a chance to capitalize on his mistake.
Although he could cover up the bad things he had done, he dared not openly disobey the orders issued by the Marine Headquarters, after all, there were many people eyeing his position.
"Hmm, Red, Aaron, what are the orders from headquarters?"
The chief of the Wells tribe walked up to the two men, but his gaze fell on the intelligence report in Aaron's hand.
"Heh, Chief Wells, the order from Marine Headquarters is that we can close the net."
"Closing the net? What do you mean, closing the net!"
"Puff!"
The chief of the Wells tribe looked at Aaron with some confusion, but before he could react, a sudden sharp pain shot through his chest.
The chief of the Wells Army stared in horror at his chest, where a cone-shaped weapon was stuck, piercing his heart. The one who did it was none other than Red, whom he had always looked down upon.
"You actually..."
Chief Wells wanted to speak, but his rapidly fading life force and the blood gushing from his mouth filled him with despair.
"Bang!!!"
Aaron slapped Wells hard across Wells face, sending his tall body flying.
Neither of them paid any attention to Wells, who had twitched on the ground a few times and then stopped moving. Red spoke coldly to the two female secretaries.
"You all continue working as before during this time. I guarantee you'll be fine. You know what to do, right?"
The two women stared at Red in shock, never expecting their usually cheerful superior to be so ruthless, and also incredibly powerful, having instantly killed " Wild Dog " Wells.
"We... we understand. We'll do anything you ask, just spare our lives."
Red nodded, ignoring the two of them, and sat down directly in the base commander's seat, looking at Aaron with a solemn expression.
" Aaron, we have limited time. We need to take control of the entire base within two days. Deal with Wells and those nobles immediately."
Aaron nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, sir, I can handle everything today, in less than two days. But what about the Marine Headquarters?"
Red laughed.
"Hahaha, Marine Headquarters, from this moment on, we no longer belong to Marine Headquarters, but are one of the Chamber of Commerce's bases."
Aaron was taken aback, then a fanatical look flashed in his eyes. He immediately straightened up and shouted.
"I understand, Lord Red. I'll get back to my work!"
After saying that, Aaron rushed out of the base commander's office, while Red quickly cut off the communication between the office and the Marine Headquarters.
After doing all this, Red stood up with a smile, looked at a certain spot, and muttered to himself.
"My lord, you must win!"
