One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 476 Always a slave to money

But before Roman could figure it out, a huge sum of money hit her head.

If the World Government succeeds in eliminating the Revolutionary Army, it is willing to offer 10 billion Berries as a reward.

It is common knowledge that world governments are truly wealthy.

They control more than half of the world's wealth.

This is not only reflected in the extravagant lifestyle of the Celestial Dragons, but also in the high salaries of government officials.

A government official's basic salary is typically around a few hundred thousand Berries, but with various other expenses, their total compensation can easily reach over a hundred million Berries. (Roman: That's way too much!!!)

Therefore, in terms of absolute benefits, the salaries of internal officials of the World Government are much higher than those of the Navy, which fights bloody battles.

The wages of avarice is death.

The World Government's generosity this time has caused a shift in the political climate within the Navy.

Some people are beginning to agree with the world government's ideas.

After all, the navy also needs to make a living.

This time, they got us.

So they do know how to give appropriate orders after all?

"Since the world government cares so much, we need to produce some results to satisfy them."

It must be said that Roman was the first person to change his attitude.

They went from being neutral to being supportive.

What does the revolutionary army have to do with her? She should just take the benefits first.

At least they were generous this time.

"Are you going?" Sengoku was a little surprised by Roman's offer to go.

After all, the water is murky.

The revolutionary army's involvement was far too complicated.

Most people who changed their attitudes were simply temporarily blinded by the benefits promised by the World Government.

They were unaware that there was likely more to the story.

However, Roman probably had his own reasons for making this suggestion.

She wouldn't be blinded by money. (Roman: No, I've always been a slave to money; my original intentions have never changed.)

Since Roman was confident and volunteered, Sengoku wouldn't say anything more.

She has always been someone you can trust.

Moreover, the World Government's generous reward this time is also intended to urge the Navy to make a statement as soon as possible.

Given this, the World Government may also have some dissatisfaction with the Navy.

After all, the Navy has long focused its attention on pirates.

Even after the emergence of the revolutionary army, this situation remained unchanged.

They will most likely have to make a statement.

"Then I'll let you—"

"Wait a minute, Marshal, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Before Sengoku could finish speaking, Roman suddenly interrupted.

"What else do you want to say?"

"I just feel that I can't demonstrate the Navy's prestige by myself alone; we need to go a little further."

Roman smiled and offered her opinion.

……

"Just because of Vice Admiral Black Dragon's support, the Marshal actually sent two titled naval officers to suppress the Revolutionary Army."

"Black Dragon and Blue Pheasant are probably also after credit."

"What a surprise. I guess the Revolutionary Army is doomed this time. But I didn't expect them to do this. We didn't even send two titled Marines to suppress the pirates."

"Who says otherwise? It seems the World Government is really angry. Could it be that they're putting pressure on the Fleet Admiral?"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Don't forget, the contents of this meeting must not be leaked."

The naval leadership reacted strongly to this incident.

It can be said that dispatching two titled naval officers to lead the suppression of the revolutionary army demonstrates the impressive scale of the operation.

The title of the Navy refers to the strength of the Navy, which is almost entirely composed of candidates for Admiral or above.

The combined efforts of these two are enough to destroy dozens of islands, or even severely damage or destroy a pirate crew of a Sea Emperor.

The World Government was also surprised by the Navy's cooperation.

They never expected that the navy would send a general-level force to deal with the revolutionary army.

However, it was an unexpected event.

The world government was naturally satisfied with this outcome.

The threat posed by the revolutionary army was especially great to them.

If the navy is willing to contribute, then they will naturally be happy.

I originally thought I would have to talk to the Warring States period.

As it turned out, things went smoothly and reassuringly in the direction they had hoped for.

As for what Black Dragon Roman is thinking, perhaps only heaven knows.

She just had a feeling that something very interesting was about to happen.

Even if she didn't suggest bringing another admiral, the World Government would probably only feel at ease if they saw an admiral being deployed.

Now, the threat posed by the revolutionary army has increased.

Without Im's intervention, the World Government can no longer sit idly by.

They were forced to turn their attention to destroying the revolutionary army.

However, they didn't want to expend too much effort, so they had the navy take action.

But besides that, they also wanted to make some other discoveries.

The world governments are probably already having doubts.

There are suspicions that some people in the navy are colluding with the revolutionary army.
