"He's dead. It's time for Colonel Smoker to get a promotion, right? He has to take care of everything, whether it's his responsibility or not. Since he came, my daily patrol workload has doubled, but I've gotten less benefits!"

"Hahaha, it's because he has to take care of things that he shouldn't be in charge of that he can't get a promotion, right? I heard that he took down a group of pirates across the defense zone a few days ago, and the naval base in the area complained that they were disturbing the public... Hehe, I wonder if those pirates are raised by their own families?"

The two navy officers complained as they walked into a remote tavern. .

When they saw Guan Liyuan sitting in the corner with two glasses of barley wine and a bowl of egg fried rice in front of him, one of them looked a little moved... After

making an excuse and sending the other person away, a navy officer who looked a little bit ruffian sat down in the seat next to Guan Liyuan and muttered in a low voice: "Monthly salary of one million."

"Payment is paid daily." Guan Liyuan replied calmly.

That's right, there are of course Guan Liyuan's spies in the navy of Rogue Town, but they are not members of the Anbu!

In fact, there are only a few thousand real members of the Anbu, even if the peripheral members are included, and the core members are only a few hundred. Most of the so-called "eyes and ears" are just guides...

For example, the navy who is now in contact with Guan Liyuan is not pretending to be acting, but acting in his true colors.

Although such navy often cannot grasp any important information, the advantage is that there are huge numbers of such people, whether at the grassroots or at the middle and high levels.

Of course, when the Anbu bribes the guides, they do not use the banner of the "Revolutionary Army", otherwise they really don't have such courage.

Most of the guides only think that the one they are in contact with is a pirate, or a profiteer, slave trader, etc. "petty thieves".

According to the concept of the orthodox revolutionary army, such guys with bad behavior, especially middle and high-level officials, are all targets that need to be cleared and assassinated, but Guan Liyuan's approach is obviously different. Why bother to help the minions of the world government detoxify? Isn't it better to let them play a greater role?

As for how to treat them in the future?

Those who are merely misbehaving and greedy for a little money can be completely developed into "passive revolutionaries" after they have enough evidence to tie them up to death on the warships. Those who are truly extremely evil are only being used now, and when the time is right, they will be killed directly as sacrifices, and their deeds can also be publicized by the way...

But this does not affect the fact that the Anbu is now cooperating with them in a "vest".

Although Guan Liyuan did not expect to succeed as a pirate, the Anbu has many "shell pirate groups" and even "shell slave-hunting teams" that sell slaves in public, but actually place some of the purchased slaves on subordinate islands and train some to join the revolutionary army. The ones who are in contact with the guides are also these shell series.

The number of "guides" in contact with the shell series of the Anbu is hundreds or thousands of times that of the official members of the Anbu, and they are also the most extensive source of information.

These people are just temporary collaborators who are not even peripheral members. In fact, there are also real core members of the Anbu in the World Government and the Navy. Some of them are developed after they respect "moral justice" in their hearts, and they are disappointed with the World Government, have a good impression of the Revolutionary Army, and have expectations for the revolutionary cause. Some of them have been infiltrating the World Government since six years ago and gradually emerged.

Even in the Navy of Rogue Town, there are actually real Anbu members, but... Because Guan Liyuan's appearance is more conspicuous in Rogue Town, rashly contacting them may alert the enemy and even expose the secret line, so Guan Liyuan just found a few "guides" to ask about the situation.

Not long after, the other party took the money and left contentedly, and by the way, he also blackmailed and threatened the tavern owner.

"This, this sir, you don't have to pay for your bill." The tavern owner said to Guan Liyuan with some fear.

Because of the nonsense of the navy just now, the shabby tavern, which was originally deserted, now only has Guan Liyuan, the last table of guests.

"Your wine is too sour and not tasty." Guan Liyuan said after taking a look at him.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry for wronging you. How about... I'll compensate you with two barrels?" the boss said helplessly.

"Two barrels is fine, but don't use ordinary wine... Is there any wine that can make a dragon drunk and pass out?"

The boss stiffened when he heard this, and then his shrinking temperament seemed to straighten up a bit: "Yes, yes, but this wine needs to be brewed with the heart and liver of a dragon, and it costs 33 million Baileys per cup!"

"Since it's a wine brewed with a dragon, 55 million is not expensive..."

That's right... In fact, the tavern owner is an outer member of the Anbu, otherwise the "vests" would not meet here every time, but the "guides" did not know the identity of the tavern owner. When Guan Liyuan contacted him, he also used his observation Haki to make sure there were no outsiders around.

Peripheral members are also valuable to the Anbu. For example, the tavern owner in Rogue Town. Before coming, Guan Liyuan had confirmed the information that his daughter was captured by the Tianlong slave-hunting team ten years ago. Four years ago, she was rescued by the skin-bag slave-hunting team and faked her death. Unfortunately, she had gone crazy. Because of the Tianlong hoofprint, she was placed on a small island secretly controlled by the Revolutionary Army.

It was also from four years ago that he became a spy of the Anbu, and two years ago he passed the test and became a formal peripheral member.

Ten minutes later, Guan Liyuan also left the tavern...

After connecting with a guide and a formal member, Guan Liyuan basically had all the recent information about Rogue Town, whether open or secret, and even knew the brand of cigarettes that Smoker had been smoking recently!

The most important thing is to confirm that the peripheral members of the East China Sea have coded reports of regional information. Although they themselves don’t know what it means, they can pass it on to Guan Liyuan.

"The most peaceful East China Sea also has so many 'lively' things..." Guan Liyuan muttered.

Like Arlong, who was defeated by Luffy, the situation where pirates colluded with the navy colonel and rampaged in dozens of villages and islands is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's just because Arlong is a fishman and borrowed the power of Jinbei, so he did it on a larger scale. Other pirates who are more covert... to be precise, they should be thugs. They don't go out to sea much anymore. There are actually many of them in the East China Sea.

However, other people are not as powerful as Arlong, so most of them are vassals raised by the navy in their jurisdiction, unlike Colonel Mouse, who is almost a vassal of Arlong!

This kind of general intelligence that is all over the world, unless there are special circumstances, basically will not be reported to Guan Liyuan specifically. The Anbu personnel responsible for this aspect of the East China Sea have been able to handle it well after several years of training. Even Arlong, who has a sensitive identity, has developed hundreds of peripheral revolutionary forces in the dozens of villages he has been rampant before...

Note that it is "peripheral revolutionary forces" rather than "peripheral members of the Anbu". Although the latter has "peripheral", they are also carefully selected, while the former are mostly just civilian organizations that hang the flag of the revolutionary army and accept part of the revolutionary army's ideas.

Even without Luffy, Arlong will probably be criticized in a few years.

The farther away from the "important" naval base, the more serious the similar situation is, and the smoother the development of the revolutionary army is. As far as the East China Sea is concerned, Guan Liyuan now divides the small islands into four levels:

the first level is that the navy and the local world government are relatively strict at the grassroots level, and the revolutionary army can only develop some spies in secret;

the second level is that a certain number of revolutionary armies have been developed, just waiting for the right time;

the third level is mostly in some remote areas... The navy and the world government organizations in this place like to mess around, and the revolutionary army has developed the most smoothly. Some have secretly completed the initial "revolution" and controlled the local military and political affairs. At the same time, because they have been caught with enough handles, the officers who have been under the siege and monitored have not reported the situation. It's like the people "above", and they don't know that Arlong will control dozens of villages in the East China Sea. Because of the information barrier, in fact, as long as the key few people are controlled, it can be done!

The fourth level is Guan Liyuan's most optimistic! However, the number is also the least... The highest person in charge of the local military and political affairs has been "developed", and they are ready to change the flag at any time when the first shot is fired.

The World Government's attention is still more on the Grand Line at this time. It is true that the World Government's control there is weaker and there are more masters, but they have not discovered the weakness under their noses. The Grand Line is surrounded by four seas, but it was proposed by Guan Liyuan ten years ago.

To a certain extent, these evil bandits and the World Government officials who collude with them are the "golden kelas" of the development of the Revolutionary Army. Although the officials who follow "moral justice" in their hearts sometimes cause trouble to the Revolutionary Army, as long as they are properly developed and guided, they can even become the backbone of the Revolutionary Army. The most troublesome are those advocates of "absolute justice"...

This is also the model most advocated by Guan Liyuan. As the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, they spread ideas, contact weapons and equipment, and provide masters when necessary... There is no problem with these, but the real ones who make the civilians turn over should be themselves, otherwise, let alone the whole world, the East China Sea with the best public security can tire the Revolutionary Army to death.

The "big event" planned by Guan Liyuan is about to be launched. The main purpose of Guan Liyuan's coming out this time is also to confirm the progress of the revolutionary work in all aspects for the last time...

After taking out the small notebook and ticking the "East China Sea" column, Guan Liyuan also muttered softly: "After entering the Grand Line, the Crick Pirates were suspected to be attacked by Hawkeye and have returned to the East China Sea? Is this good luck or bad luck... They actually met Hawkeye just after entering the Grand Line, but it's a pity that they can come back. The sea kings collectively lost their appetite that day?

However, there is no news that the Crick Pirates were defeated. I just know that they started to approach the sea restaurant Barati three days ago. It seems that Luffy should not arrive in Rogue Town in the next one or two days, right?"

Compared with the Crick Pirates with thousands of people swaggering around the city, the threat level of the overly small Straw Hat Pirates was also set very high by the East China Sea, but unless they do something themselves, it is difficult to be discovered!

The previous speculation that Luffy was about to arrive in Rogue Town was still based on Luffy's performance during the Arlong incident.

Guan Liyuan could only make a simple guess based on the original plot. Of course... because the situation in the East China Sea had been changed a lot, Guan Liyuan was not sure whether Luffy would follow the original story. However, judging from the situation on the life card, he did not deviate too much and was at least approaching Rogue Town...
