The Pirate Garen

Smoker completely dispelled the speculation about Galen's willingness to degenerate and become a bandit, because the place he saw had nothing to do with the word "pirate".

On the contrary, this place is so positive that people can't imagine that it was a pirate den not long ago.

Those cadres under Galen made Smoker feel a little uncomfortable:

They didn't have the vulgar appearance of a sea boy at all, and all of them treated people with kind attitudes and smiles, making Smoker and the navy think that they had entered some high-end restaurant with good service.

Naturally, those former laborers and former pirates were not born with such words and deeds, all of which came from Galen's request.

And the indicators of the ideological assessment of cadres are all linked to Galen's concept of good and evil.

With such an assessment mechanism hanging over their heads, those newly appointed cadres developed and changed towards the image of model civil servants in Galen's mind at an almost magical speed.

And because of Galen's strength and prestige, these subordinates couldn't help but feel admiration and longing for Galen from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, these cadres are all comrades in the true sense who have been verified by Galen's great sword and have a concept of good and evil similar to Galen's.

Under the leadership of several small cadres, Smoker and his party began to march towards Galen's office building, which was the original Klick's mansion.

Along the way, Smoker saw even more strange phenomena:

In the construction sites, large warehouses and other facilities along the road, there are a large group of men with bitter faces and shackled feet doing coolie work.

While they were working hard, there were people watching and intimidating them with knives and guns. They looked like slaves.

Such a cruel scene made the kind-hearted Da Siqi feel a little uncomfortable.

"Who are these people?"

Dashiqi couldn't help asking out loud.

"Reform-through-labour prisoner."

The small cadre leading the way uttered a new term and explained:

"They were all former pirates and were sentenced to reform through labor."

"It turned out to be a pirate."

Smoker suddenly lost interest, and stopped paying attention to those prisoners who looked like slaves.

In his opinion, as long as they are pirates, they are not worthy of sympathy.

Da Siqi still had some unbearable eyes, but continued to ask:

"How long are they going to work like this?"

"how long?"

The small cadre said in a very flat tone: "Life imprisonment."

"No period?"

Da Siqi was startled and said, "Wouldn't that mean you will be a slave for the rest of your life?"

"Not a slave."

The small cadre corrected Da Siqi's words solemnly:

"They are reform-through-labour prisoners."

"Master Galen said: Those who use the name of freedom to commit crimes do not deserve freedom."

"That can't all be sentenced to life!"

Dashiqi said with some resistance:

"Are they all guilty of the same degree of crime?"

The small cadre shook his head, and said helplessly:

"We don't have perfect laws here, let alone a well-formed judicial system. Lord Galen can only choose such a one-size-fits-all approach."

"Let's talk."

The small cadre's tone revealed a bit of disdain and indifference again:

"If they really had a clear conscience, they would have taken the initiative to sign up for the evil degree test."

The cadres Galen selected with his great sword were all people with similar views on good and evil.

Therefore, most of Galen's subordinates, like Galen, have a natural hostility towards the group of "pirates".

"but."

The small cadre explained to Da Siqi again:

"I heard that Lord Galen is planning to train professional reform-through-labor instructors."

"When our system is perfected, those prisoners who perform well during their sentence will be able to receive a reasonable reduction in sentence."

Da Siqi nodded slightly, and finally reluctantly accepted such a cruel treatment.

After the group arrived at Galen's office, Galen was already waiting at the gate to greet him after receiving the notification from his subordinates.

"Smog! Tashki!"

Galen warmly greeted these two old friends who hadn't been apart for a long time:

"Why are you two here?"

Smoker looked at the followers behind Galen, as well as the vast "office building", and immediately said with some displeasure:

"It's only been a few days since I saw you, and you have become the leader of an armed group embracing you."

"If I don't come, you might even hang the pirate flag!"

"Pirates?"

Galen immediately waved his hand and said:

"I'm not a pirate, don't talk nonsense!"

As he spoke, Galen turned his head to look at Miss Weiwei, the secretary beside him.

Due to the lack of talents in the new organization, Princess Weiwei volunteered to work under the command of Lord Knight; with the good education level of the royal family, Weiwei has indeed helped Galen, a rookie in government affairs, to handle a lot of affairs this week.

Seeing Galen's eyes, Vivi immediately handed over a brand new newspaper knowingly.

Galen handed the newspaper to Smoker:

"Look, what I do will never violate justice!"

Smoker took the newspaper and glanced at it casually, and then noticed a headline with a very familiar style of writing:

""Galen: The Pioneer of Justice Transforming the Old Pirate Era""

Read it again, roughly:

The righteous Galen is determined to fight against evil, and eradicates the notorious Klick criminal group in the East China Sea in one fell swoop;

Afterwards, Galen was determined to base himself on the masses and the grassroots, send justice to the countryside, help the people out of poverty, and create a new era of justice while sweeping away the legacy of the old pirate era.

Seeing such an article with such a strong subjective consciousness, Smoker couldn't help but searched for the name of the news author.

Sure enough, he soon saw a familiar signature:

Tokai Ilbo, Wallace.

"This guy wrote something again!"

Smoker gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to fool me with such a lie?"

"A lie?"

Galen shook his head, and said seriously:

"This is indeed a scene."

"However, there is no organization in the sea that will flaunt justice like me."

"Flag justice?"

Smoker said disdainfully: "It's just pretending to be a righteous person, what's the use?"

"Of course it works!"

Galen said without flinching:

"What a person thinks in his heart, I don't care, and no one can care."

"But as long as you say it with your mouth and do it with your hands, it is justice!"

"If you can pretend like this for a lifetime, you will be an undeniably righteous person!"

Smoker pondered for a moment, then asked again:

"So how do you keep your organization from degenerating?"

Galen replied without hesitation:

"My organization is naturally supervised by me."

"As for me"

"You can also join my organization to monitor my actions."

"Join your organization?"

Smoker stared: "How is that possible! I am a navy!"

"no no no"

Galen explained:

"What I mean is: let's engage in a joint military-civilian law enforcement."

"Military-civilian joint law enforcement?"

Smoker couldn't understand.

"right!"

Galen was just persuasive:

"It is to combine the strength of our enthusiastic East China Sea people with your East China Sea Navy's strength, and fight together on the front line of fighting pirates!"

"You and Da Siqi are both righteous people I recognize, and you can come here to serve as instructors, staff officers, and even commanders."

Smoker's eyes lit up when he heard:

Letting him and Da Siqi serve as instructors, staff officers, and commanders is equivalent to handing over the command of the troops.

After seeing the real situation in the East China Sea, Smoker deeply felt that the power of a navy in Rogge alone was too useless.

But now there is an armed force with more than 50 large warships, which can become Smoker's help in maintaining order in the East China Sea at any time.

Smoker perked up immediately.

Although, this matter is viewed from another angle.

In fact, he was working for Galen.

However, Galen didn't give Smoker much time to be excited, and opened his mouth to draw a bigger picture:

"Actually, I am also planning a large and loose organization recently: League of Legends."

"League of Legends?"

Smoker became interested: "What's that?"

Galen explained enthusiastically:

"This is a large organization determined to punish evil and promote good. It recruits all kinds of heroes who have a heart of justice and are willing to practice justice as members."

"However, there is no superior-subordinate relationship between the alliance and its members. It is just a non-governmental organization similar to the Pirate Hunters Association."

"According to strength and record, the alliance will also classify members into grades, and then issue tasks and provide benefits according to grades."

"Membership levels tentatively include S-level heroes, A-level heroes, B-level heroes, and C-level heroes."
