Chapter 165
Just as Seti was thinking about whether he should take time to go to the Sky Island or the Fish-Man Island first after the matter in the North Sea was resolved, Box suddenly came forward. Now he has fully entered the role of the adjutant:
"Sir, where should we go next? Should we directly report our work to the first branch or should we first take a look at the customs and customs of Beihai and then rush there when our term comes?"
There were not many descriptions of the North Sea in the original work, and Seti could not think of any famous tourist spots in the North Sea, so he did not plan to continue visiting. After thinking about it, he said:
"Let's go directly to the first branch. Let's talk about sightseeing and other things after we settle the matter in the Germa Kingdom."
After hearing this, Box thought for a moment and said:
"Our supplies don't seem to be enough to sustain us until we reach the first branch. Before arriving at the first branch, we may have to go to the 23rd branch first to resupply there before we can continue sailing."
Seti was not interested in these things. He waved his hands and said:
"Box, you are more experienced than me in these matters, so I'll just let you make the arrangements."
"Okay, then I will inform the base commander of the 23rd branch now and let him get ready."
Hearing what Box said, Seti suddenly thought of something and subconsciously asked:
"I remember that when the people from the Bronze Fist Pirates were evaluating each branch, they seemed to have mentioned this 23rd branch?"
Box thought for a moment and replied:
"Those guys have mentioned that the base commander of Branch 23 is a greedy guy, but sir, what those pirates said may not have much credibility...
Even if it is true as they said, we have just arrived in Beihai after all, so we still need to cooperate with the local governor here."
Box's words were very tactful, but Seti also heard the underlying meaning.
He knew what Box was worried about. He was just worried that he would make too much noise as soon as he came up, which would put everyone in other bases in Beihai in danger.
There will still be a time when these people will be needed in the next fight against the Kingdom of Germa. If these people are really pushed into a hurry and have a showdown with Seti, then they will be the ones who suffer.
Although he understood what Box was worried about, Seti didn't take it to heart.
After all, the world of pirates is a place where strength is respected. With my current strength, I would not even frown against the Shichibukai. How could I care about these stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs in the world:
"The words of those pirates cannot be trusted. We will know after we get to the 23rd branch and ask the local people.
If the base commander of branch 23 is a good one, then I won’t do anything extra, but if it’s true as those pirates said, then why bother keeping such a scum around?”
When Box heard this, he secretly sighed, "You are still young," but he did not continue to persuade him. Some things had to be experienced by himself before he would understand.
Seeing that Box didn't take his words seriously, Seti shrugged and didn't explain too much.
People are not in the same situation, so there is no need to impose your own ideas on others.
Box, who has reached middle age, has his mind bound by rules. At this time, no matter how much I tell him, he can't turn around.
After Seti broke one of the rules he held as a standard in front of him, he might be able to understand the joints between them.
…………
Because he was going to the 23rd branch for supplies, Box contacted the 23rd branch in advance. This was a reasonable thing, but when the base commander of the 23rd branch heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.
It was heartbreaking.

As soon as the caller hung up, Colonel Mengsk, the base commander of the 23rd branch, immediately made a sad face.
Seeing his eldest brother's bitter face, Mengsk's younger brother and confidant Mengska immediately asked:
"Brother, what's going on? Why does your face look so ugly?"
After hearing his brother's question, Mengsk sighed and said:
"It's broken. It must be because we looked too ugly in the past few days. People from the headquarters found out that the base commander of the first branch who parachuted from Marineland requested to come to the 23rd branch for supplies.
There are so many branches in Beihai, but he didn't go to any of them, but chose our 23rd branch. He must have received some news in advance that he was going to deal with us."
As he spoke, Mengsk sighed again, almost saying that we two brothers should just run away and forget it.
Seeing his eldest brother sighing, Mengska, who had an irritable and violent personality, couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes.
Oh my God, it's really unfair. A person who is so timid and fearful like my eldest brother has been given such a good body. On the contrary, I, a person who should do great things, have mediocre talents. Now I can only rely on my eldest brother to live.
Although he complained about his eldest brother in his heart, Mengska knew in his heart that with his strength, he would never survive if his eldest brother fell. Therefore, at this time, he must take the initiative to stand up and make up his mind:
"Brother, don't be too busy sighing. Maybe that guy just happened to pass by. If you scare yourself like this, aren't you just messing up?"
Mengsk glanced at his younger brother and couldn't help complaining:
"It's all your fault. I said at the beginning that I wanted to handle the matter cleanly so that no one could get hold of it.
But if you insist on sending people down from above, you won’t even cover it up when doing things. We brothers have such a bad reputation, even if they just happened to pass by, they can’t hide the things we did!”
Hearing his eldest brother complaining about himself like this, Mengska couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help complaining:
"You still have the nerve to blame me? You keep saying that you want to deal with it from beginning to end, but when I give you money to gag others, you are not willing to spend even a penny.
You refuse to pay me, but I can handle the whole thing myself? Now you are blaming me for not doing things well!"
Mengsk knew that he was in the wrong, but he refused to talk about his problem. He could only vaguely change the subject and said:
"It's almost time to get up now, why are you still thinking about settling those old scores? Our top priority now is how to deceive the commodore away. We can't pray for a big storm to sink him and his warships to the bottom of the sea.
?”
Hearing this, Mengska, as the younger brother, suddenly lighted up:
"Yes, brother, if they experience an accident on the road, won't we worry about our affairs being exposed?"
"W-what do you mean?"
Mengsk watched Mengsk raise his hand in front of his neck and make a motion of slitting his throat, and couldn't help but scream:
"You're crazy. This airborne base commander is a commodore. We brothers are no match for him even if we are tied together."
Mengska, who heard this, smiled sinisterly and said:
