Chapter 1056

"His performance has always been outstanding. I hope he can shoulder the burden of this fleet." Lin Cheng walked to the window, looking out over the entire Navy G5 base.

This place was only a way station for him; the Lin Cheng Fleet was his true core force.

The thought that Enel had actually crossed swords with the Big Mom Pirates made Lin Cheng wonder whether some powerful connection was involved.

"The route Enel took shouldn't have brought him into contact with the core members of the Big Mom Pirates. How did Cracker end up showing up there?" Lin Cheng found this somewhat puzzling.

He had previously reviewed the Brave's route. The entire route was extremely winding and time-consuming, but it had avoided the core territories of the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.

By all rights, they shouldn't have encountered top experts on the level of the Three Disasters or the Four Sweet Commanders. Charlotte Cracker's appearance didn't quite match common sense.

"Go investigate. See what major events have happened recently in the New World. We need to be prepared as well." Lin Cheng said to Karma.

The latter nodded, then left the room to set about handling the matter.

Lin Cheng didn't stay here any longer either. He picked up the roster on the table and, taking his accompanying personnel with him, went to inspect the troops Enel had brought back.

Because this batch of personnel hadn't been transferred from Marine Headquarters, the Logistics Department didn't dare arrange their quarters on its own authority and could only have them wait on the ships for Lin Cheng's further arrangements.

"Go. Notify them to assemble here." Lin Cheng arrived at the port's parade ground and said to his accompanying personnel.

The accompanying personnel acknowledged the order, then ran toward the ships at the port to relay Lin Cheng's command.

The troops assembled extremely quickly. From the order being relayed to the assembly, it took only five minutes, and four square formations appeared on the parade ground.

At the front of each of these units stood a leader with a deep, solid aura—these were the experts the noble houses had sent.

Lin Cheng was very satisfied with this army. Whether the rank-and-file or the leaders, this army was far better than the batch he had sent off.

The noble houses hadn't taken him for a fool, and what they sent was quite decent.

They were all thousand-year foxes at heart; they knew perfectly well where to spend and where to save.

Now that the Polusa family had shown the intention of carrying the banner, the other ancient noble houses would also chip in to make up the scene—otherwise the show would be too monotonous.
