Let's build a tofu dregs project

  The mission of eradicating pirates can be accepted by any member of the Navy in theory, but in reality, only officers with a rank of at least captain have the ability to complete this task.

  So, as the head of a department in the Navy Headquarters, Jinbao's scene of receiving a mission immediately caused a sensation.

  For more than a year, the reputation of Shen Bao's crazy training had already spread throughout the Navy Department. In private, many gossipers had speculated about his combat strength, with results that were both praise and criticism, strange and bizarre. But no matter who it was, no one thought that this staff officer would easily capture almost all members of the Silver Fox Fokusei pirate gang under a small test, and even surrender their captain!

  "How awesome!"

  "This is truly the pride of the Navy!"

  "As a desk officer, it's really a waste of talent, should be at least a captain-level character."

  ……

  The hall was initially filled with murmurs of discussion, but by the end, it was unclear who started clapping first, and as a result, hundreds of naval officers in the entire hall began to applaud.

  "Wow, this task is great! Not only can we get paid, but also gain military merit and fame. It's a triple win!" Shen Bao appeared calm on the surface, with an air of serenity, but in reality, he was already overjoyed.

  In an instant, amidst the applause, a representative walked out.

  It was Warring States, one of the three great generals, who later became the Grand Admiral of the Navy. He walked over with a smile on his face and said to Shino...

  "You stupid head of the internal affairs department, what are you doing running around and fighting bandits!? Don't you know that your internal affairs department is in charge of setting up the venue for this year's annual meeting?! You're neglecting your duties and not taking things seriously! Get back here and set up the venue immediately!!"

  In the midst of the Warring States' furious rebukes, applause turned into jeers, and Shino could not help but flee in disarray.

  ……

  "How annoying! I didn't know that the internal affairs department had such a troublesome task!" Shen Bao looked at the stacks of architectural drawings, his head spinning.

  "It was originally non-existent, it's just that the Navy headquarters built a reception building on the original martial arts school field last year, so there would be a sudden appointment." Fu Kexi replied.

  After hearing the answer from his subordinate, Shino looked at him strangely: "I really don't understand, why do you know more than me after just a few days?"

  "Ah, yes, yes." Foksi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly, "It's because you're busy with a million things, sir, that you wouldn't know these minor details."

  "That's also true." Jinbao nodded calmly without batting an eyelid.

  Behind him, Long Ma rolled his eyes wildly, and Xiao Nana spat on the ground.

  "Right, sir. I've made a detailed plan for this year's martial arts tournament. It might just help you defeat Huang Yuan Bo and Salino easily...". With that, Foksi shook open the small notebook in his hand, his lips moving rapidly as he laid out all his plans.

  This plan left everyone speechless and staring in amazement.

  Fokke's plan made full use of a prop - the Sea Tower Stone.

  Sea Prism Stone is a rare mineral that only exists in certain sea areas, peculiar stones. It's equivalent to the crystallization of the ocean, with similar composition and can be said to be the fixed form of the ocean, so Devil Fruit ability users not only fear seawater but also fear Sea Prism Stone. Sea Prism Stone is often used to deal with ability users, and there are also Sea Prism Stone-made cages or handcuffs. Sea Prism Stone not only can restrain ability users, but it's also exceptionally hard, ordinary means can't damage it.

  The entire plan is set up quite wonderfully and uniquely.

  First, a small amount of Sea Prism Stone powder was mixed into the floor tiles of the martial arts arena. When Shanks and Buggy were fighting fiercely, the floor tiles were inevitably destroyed, and the Sea Prism Stone powder would disperse into the air. At this time, Shanks used his fish-man physiology to breathe through gills, avoiding the damage from the Sea Prism Stone to Devil Fruit users. However, Buggy, being a human, inhaled the microscopic particles of the Sea Prism Stone, which accumulated more and more until he lost the powers of the Flash-Flash Fruit, rendering him an ordinary person who could only be trampled by Shanks.

  However, all of these are just a small part of the plan.

  In Fokke's plan, the main topic is how to "save" costs and funds in a "fast and good" way. In other words, it's about how to build a good tofu dregs project and swallow 160 million of the 200 million construction funds!

  "Is that okay? Other facilities are fine, but if the floor tiles were replaced with ordinary green stone bricks, just a normal hit from an expert would make the ground collapse!" Little Lori looked up with her innocent face, and her pure big eyes showed doubt.

  "No big deal, the collapse of the ground will make the scene more grand and let the audience judges see it more exciting. Of course, this still needs our guidance, if we come up with a small booklet, strongly decorating the work and results we have done, and by the way, flattering the leaders, as well as guessing the martial arts contestants, haha, the audience won't like it if they don't." Fu Kexi said more and more forcefully.

  "Not bad, not bad!" Shen Bao nodded continuously as he listened. He hadn't expected Foxi to be incompetent, but rather clever and good at analyzing rules and regulations, then exploiting the loopholes within them.

  He was inspired by this, and the bad water in his stomach also surged out: "Not only that, we should set a price for this little book that is not high or low. In the process of competing with each other, we can also set up a gambling game, don't worry about violating military discipline since my uncle Lei Men Da Bo is here. Right, in the booklet, let's try to make our actual strength look as low as possible. Then we'll be the ones collecting money, haha!"

  "Hehehe!" Foxi laughed happily too.

  Long Ma and Xiao Nana listened to the evil duo's loud laughter, feeling a chill run down their spines. The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the pity in each other's eyes for the naval officers who were about to be schemed against.
