One Piece: Start Building a High Wall From East Blue

Conomi Islands. 

Cocoyashi Town Conference Room.

As the most developed town in the Conomi Islands, Cocoyashi Town specifically built this conference room to host discussions about the development of the Conomi Islands.

After scanning the spacious and bright conference room, Chacher's eyes fell on the people seated around the conference table.

This was an impromptu meeting, so not many people attended—most of them were villagers from Cocoyashi Town.

Since the base commander of the Loguetown Branch had... well, now, it should be referred to as the previous base commander.

A while ago, the person had been promoted, receiving a raise and reassignment to the Navy Headquarters.

As for who would be assigned as the next base commander for either the Grand Line or the New World, or if they would stay at the Navy Headquarters, Chacher wasn't sure.

Honestly, ever since Captain Sean's reassignment, Chacher had still not fully adjusted. After all, they had worked well together.

Unfortunately, just when they were preparing to expand their influence in the East Blue, the partner had left, and as for who would take over as the new base commander at the Loguetown branch, Chacher already knew.

A Navy genius, Captain Smoker!

Not only from what he knew from the anime, but even from the rumors around Navy Headquarters, Chacher was well aware of this officer's reputation.

In any case, the secret cooperation with Loguetown would likely be put on hold for now.

That's right~ 

Chacher.

He was a transmigrator and currently a Navy Captain dispatched from the Navy Headquarters.

Of course, at this point, he should be called Navy Captain—Dande Chacher. 

To be honest, when he first arrived in this world, he was completely confused. Especially since he had become a Navy officer, and his first mission had him clashing with the Celestial Dragon's bodyguard, sending him to the trial court. His frustration only grew.

Moreover, after the Egghead incident, the Navy's justice had become a joke, and the Garp family had turned into clowns. This world was nearly turning into a cesspool.

Even leaving other matters aside, Whitebeard—Edward Newgate, the man who voluntarily protected the impoverished island nations, never interfered with their lives, became a pirate, and even anonymously donated money to his hometown, to the point where pirates so poor they couldn't afford to drink were touched and named among the top ten most impactful figures of the sea.

Compared to those who constantly shout about justice, absolute justice, and ruling the world in the name of justice.

Perhaps many in the Marine Headquarters genuinely harbor justice, unaware of the World Government's filth, and have been working tirelessly to maintain peace on the seas.

But without a doubt, when the leadership is rotten, nothing else below matters anymore.

Of course~ 

These matters had nothing to do with Chacher.

In the end, because the incident did not cause serious consequences, and with Zephyr's protection, he was given a demotion and became the base commander of the 16th Marine branch in East Blue.

Logically, he should have been assigned to the remote and desolate 315th base, but after Captain Nezumi was dismissed for corruption, he was recommended by Captain Sean and became the commander of the 16th Marine branch.

As for the former Captain Nezumi of the 16th branch... he had become the stepping stone for Captain Sean's promotion.

"...There hasn't been anything major happening in Cocoyasi Town recently. The orange jam factory is still in stable production, but even though the factory is working overtime, it still can't meet the demand from customers," Cocoyasi Town's mayor, Nojiko, shook her head helplessly.

Logically speaking, as a young person in the village, she shouldn't have been able to become the mayor of Cocoyasi Town, but with Chacher's recommendation, she secured the position. 

Though she didn't particularly care whether or not she was the mayor, as long as she could protect the orange grove left by Bell-mère, that was enough for her. However...

Looking at Chacher in front of her, Nojiko's heart was filled with gratitude and admiration.

He had saved Cocoyasi Village, saved her sister Nami, and fulfilled Bell-mère's wishes, leading Cocoyasi Village toward a prosperous future.

He could be said to have saved everyone; he was Cocoyasi Village's benefactor.

Therefore, for Chacher's missions, Nojiko would do everything in her power to complete them.

She sighed and said, "Although we followed Chacher's suggestion and expanded the planting of oranges, we still can't increase the yield in the short term, and..."

Her tone carried a bittersweet feeling.

"Everyone has been working very hard recently, but not only the factory, Cocoyasi Town still needs people everywhere!"

With that, she fell silent.

Immediately, the others around the conference table also nodded helplessly.

Although Cocoyasi Village could already be called a town, as the newly established Cocoyasi Town, its infrastructure and population were far from complete. Chacher understood this as well.

After listening to Mayor Nojiko's words, Chacher also nodded. He was quite satisfied with Mayor Nojiko's work.

After arriving in the East Blue, he never planned on returning to the Navy Headquarters.

It was just that having the title of Navy Captain made it easier to get things done.

He didn't want to be a Navy officer, nor did he have any interest in becoming a pirate. Since that was the case... he might as well stay here and become a big warlord!

However, this world was simply too dangerous, especially after the Egghead incident... the Five Elders even managed to create the Tailed Beast Bomb. Just thinking about it was terrifying!

It really made him feel unsafe!

Fortunately, as a transmigrator, he also had his golden finger.

Chacher looked at his golden finger.

It was the "Transmigrator Alliance Performance Settlement System."

That's right, he wasn't an ordinary transmigrator. He was a legal, compliant, and insured transmigrator.

To put it simply, according to the company's requirements, he was sent to various worlds to complete specific tasks and objectives, like rewriting plots and pushing social development. If anything unexpected happened, he would receive a high compensation. After all, it was a very formal enterprise.

And as everyone probably guessed, at first, he had considered just committing insurance fraud to return home.

However...

He didn't know if it was because too many people had tried to commit insurance fraud recently, but in order to prevent further fraud, the company had tightened its rules. Once fraud was detected, there would be very strict penalties.

After seeing the handbook for temporary workers on business trips and the tragic examples of fraud being discovered, Chacher criticized the fraudulent people severely and then resolutely refused to commit fraud. Instead, he started focusing on his work.

Only weakling transmigrators would think about scamming insurance to go back home!

Moreover, because there were too many insurance frauds, the higher-ups, in order to prevent any further loopholes, directly introduced a series of strict metrics.

Only by meeting these metrics and completing the tasks could one receive compensation after death and officially become an employee.

And this became his golden finger.

[Name: Chacher]

[Occupation: Level 4 Chief Clerk]

[Metric Points: 1500, Note: When the employee reaches 10,000, they can be promoted to Level 3 Chief Clerk and receive one employee benefit.]

Each time a task is completed, metric points are earned. Once the required points are achieved, after leaving this world, promotion and salary increase will be directly granted.

As for the metric points... rewriting the plot, pushing social development, and such can all earn metric points!

Especially major events and character changes, which can earn even more metric points.

For instance, the Cocoyasi Village incident... it directly promoted him from a Level 6 Clerk to a Level 5 Clerk, and afterward, leading the development of Cocoyasi Village, he successfully got promoted to Level 4 Chief Clerk.

As long as things continue to progress like this, promotion and salary increase will soon be within reach, and reaching the peak of a transmigrator is just around the corner.

As for the small compensation from scamming insurance to go home, he was no longer interested in that.

Chacher thought for a moment, then raised his head, looking at the lady next to him who was elegantly writing something.

Nico Robin.

Wearing a white shirt, a Western-style body-hugging skirt, and her black long hair neatly styled into a simple bun, occasionally adjusting her fashionable and delicate women's glasses used as accessories.

This attire gave her an air of refined scholarly elegance, yet she also appeared sharp and capable, perfectly fitting her role as a military faction leader's personal secretary.

He had met Nico Robin even before the Cocoyasi Village incident, back when he first arrived in the East Blue, and at his invitation, she became his secret assistant.

Of course, the two of them were merely in a cooperative relationship.

Anyway, after inviting Nico Robin, they directly promoted her from a temporary worker to a formal second-level employee.

You could say that Miss Robin was quite a significant achievement for him!

"Let's leave this matter to Old Mo!"

Old Mo, Mok.

He was the captain of the Mok Pirate Crew, and there were many things that were inconvenient for him to do, so he would leave those tasks to Old Mo.

Of course, as his subordinate, Old Mo knew what to do and what not to do, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

Even if this world was a cesspit, Chacher still had his bottom line.

"Understood." Miss Robin gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, crossing her plump legs and nodding with a smile. "I'll notify Old Mo later!"

As a partner, Miss Robin was quite satisfactory. She understood what to do and what not to do, very capable!

Seeing that the arrangements were nearly complete, Chacher turned around and looked at everyone, briefly summarizing the meeting and reiterating the development goals for the Conomi Islands.

In short... Build strong walls, accumulate grain, and wait to proclaim oneself king!

Secretive development!

After receiving the responses from everyone, Chacher nodded in satisfaction.

Everything was progressing steadily!

Just as he was about to announce the end of the meeting...

Suddenly...

"We're doomed, we're doomed!"

Nami hurriedly rushed in, her originally cheerful face now filled with panic. She ran straight to Chacher, and before he could ask, she said,

"The Navy Headquarters Inspection Team is here! The branch has sent word that Chacher, you've been exposed for bribery, embezzlement, and colluding with pirates!"
