Just as the two were thinking this, Cass suddenly twitched his ears, looked out the window, and frowned, saying, "Is there a noise?"
"A sound?" Wilbur was taken aback, his ears twitching as if he were listening for something.
Rumble...
He could faintly hear some strange noises, like a mixture of cannon fire and gunfire, and it seemed to be accompanied by some human noise.
"Lieutenant General! Lieutenant General!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open by a colonel who saluted and shouted, "Vice Admiral Cass, Vice Admiral Wilbur, an island has been spotted ahead, and there seem to be sounds of fighting on it!"
"An island? Which one?" Wilbur asked.
"It seems to be Maturu Port in the Kingdom of Maturu," the naval captain said.
“Matru…” Wilbur thought for a moment and said, “Are we already within our sphere of influence?”
They knew that the Kingdom of Maturu was a member state of the New World, and its influence was within the World Government.
The main point is that member states are all within the sphere of influence of the world government. If they are not member states, then they are definitely not. Becoming a member state means they are, which can be referred to as 'Schrödinger's sphere of influence'.
"Gunfire? Pirates?" Wilbur continued to ask.
The naval captain shook his head: "I didn't see any pirate ships, only flames. I still don't know what happened."
"Internal conflict? It seems like we can't interfere with that." Wilbur thought for a moment and said, "If they're not pirates, everything else is just their internal affair, something we can't do about."
The navy has no say in the internal affairs of member states, nor can the world government, unless a member state actively seeks help.
"Bolo bolo bolo..."
He had barely finished speaking when the Den Den Mushi on the table rang.
Wilbur frowned, picked up the receiver, and before he could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi rang: "Signal acquired! Signal acquired! SOS! Rescue! This is Maturu Port. I am the commander of Maturu Port. The civilians here have gone mad. Please come and help suppress them!"
Just as he finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi suddenly let out a scream and then the connection was severed.
"A civilian riot?" Cass's first reaction upon hearing this was that he would not allow it.
Whether it's civilians or anything within the kingdom, that's their business, not the evil the navy has to face. Moreover, after being exposed to Mr. Kuro's ideas, he doesn't believe that civilian uprisings are inherently evil; perhaps the kingdom has pushed them too far.
Wilbur looked at Cass and said, “No matter what, let’s go and see. The member states have sent a signal for help. We can’t just sit idly by. Otherwise, Mr. Kuro will be in a difficult position, especially at this critical juncture.”
He considered things more than Cass. Now that Mr. Kuro was about to be promoted to general, if any accident or complaint occurred at this critical juncture, it would affect Mr. Kuro's reputation. As Mr. Kuro's subordinates, their actions would be the responsibility of their superior. It was not something they could do to cause trouble for Mr. Kuro at this crucial moment.
No matter what, I have to go and take a look.
Cass nodded: "You're right. The warships will turn and head to Matrouh Port to see what's going on."
"yes!"
The colonel straightened his steps, saluted again, and then ran out to give orders.
They naturally possessed the power of a vice admiral. Even as ordinary vice admirals, their promotions based on merit and ability not only signified that they were naval elites but also represented their high position and authority.
In Dressrosa and Kolf, the two of them acted like local tyrants. As base commanders, they had the same power that Mr. Kuro had in Pegasus and Sabaody Archipelago. However, their personalities were not like Mr. Kuro's. Mr. Kuro could do that, but they did not. They were fighting for a noble cause of justice and were executors, not like Mr. Kuro, who was a thinker who endured humiliation and hardship.
"Speaking of which, if we were to use a 'spider' as a metaphor..."
Wilbur laughed and said, "Mr. Kuro is the brain of the 'spider,' and we are the legs of the 'spider.' The brain gives the thought, and the legs do it. We just need to do it. If the spider loses its legs, someone can replace them, but if the spider loses its brain, it can't do anything."
Cass was taken aback, then exclaimed, "What you said makes perfect sense, it's absolutely true! Wilbur, it's so great to have you as my colleague! That's right, for Mr. Kuro's cause, we are willing to 'be 'sufficient'. As long as we have brains, nothing is a problem. With 'sufficient', anyone can be replaced! I have a somewhat immature idea now, let's refine it later!"
“Please speak,” Wilbur said, leaning in to listen.
"Let's just set up another internal organization, named after the 'spider' characteristic, specifically as a secret organization with Mr. Kuro at its core. Because those beliefs actually came from Mr. Kuro. Although we are practicing this belief now, the people below will always make mistakes. We can play a role in purging them. And if someone among us makes a mistake, the others can also eliminate them and find new 'legs' to replace them!"
Cass became more and more excited as he spoke: "Mr. Kuro is the brain, and we, as the spider's legs, just need to serve Mr. Kuro well!"
Snap!
Wilbur slammed his hand on the table. “Your suggestion is excellent! This solves the problem of our internal issues that we can’t correct. For example, Joshua. He was something we didn’t expect. It’s not that he’s bad; he’s still within our sphere of influence. But once someone leaves our sphere, we can use this ‘Spider’ organization as cover to keep the World Government from finding out for the time being!”
They are no longer at the stage of blindly guessing Mr. Kuro's actions. They now have at least a 'seven-step rebellion strategy' and know who the real enemy is, so they need to prepare countermeasures.
"To be honest, David's actions are not restrained now. If he is discovered, it will be very bad. Our existence is to prevent the World Government from discovering this and to buy enough time for Mr. Kuro and for David's actions. We need an internal system, and this organization can avoid being trapped by the Navy, pirates, the Kingdom Army, or even the Revolutionary Army, or even the underworld!"
Wilbur exclaimed, "We can use this organization to spread our ideas and protect our 'brains'! Our Spider Organization will surely shine brightly!"
Cass nodded vigorously: "Klow should agree to this as well. We need to have numbers, and Klow, who has always been by Mr. Kuro's side, will be number 1!"
