Codex Pirates

Chapter 379 The Boss Behind The Scenes

Ajin and Selkirk devoured a few pastries, and then returned to the Starlight with William and Dampier.

On the way, Selkirk asked, "I don't know if those people will run away."

After several people returned to the ship, William found that there was not a single crew member missing on the ship. The news that he became the king of the Seven Martial Seas had already spread on the ship. Everyone looked at William, the newly-rising sea boss, with complicated expressions. I don't know how to communicate with him, only the strange doctor Huoba Ke, who thinks he is the hero who took refuge first, came up with a smile and said a lot of good things.

William didn't care about the mood of the sailors on board. His next destination was neither the calm zone where Garp was imprisoned, nor the place where the Shichibukai Conference was held, the Marine Headquarters of the Navy, but the capital of Shichishui. By the way, he fulfilled his promise. , to send the Starlight and Portia home.

...

The capital of seven waters.

This city is famous for its shipbuilding technology, but because of the harsh business environment in the era of the great pirates and the lack of resources, the city has gradually declined. It seems that it has improved a bit. The passage of time at least gives people the ability to sustain it.

Esbagu, the disciple of Tom the Murloc, the maker of the sea train, and the owner of the shipyard who has been in the limelight recently, is standing at the pier with many workers and management of his own shipyard. Together, the pier was emptied, as if waiting for someone.

With the support of William's funds, the shipyard owned by Esbagu is currently the only shipyard in the capital of seven waters that has not only not shrunk due to the harsh environment, but has maintained a trend of expansion.

Everyone couldn't understand the thinking of Esbagu and the benefactor behind him, thinking that they simply had money and had nowhere to spend it.

Indeed, although Espagu is young, his shipbuilding skills, organizational skills, and unconstrained creativity even surpass many old craftsmen in the city who have been in this industry for decades. There are many craftsmen in his shipyard. Working under him, in addition to the stable salary, there is also a part of the reason why he is impressed by his craftsmanship.

Even the craftsmen in other shipyards that are currently in competition with Espagu cannot deny Espagu's craftsmanship against their will.

But manpower is sometimes poor. Even if Espagu is a shipbuilding genius, he is only one person. The decline of the capital of seven waters is the overall environment of the sea in the era of great pirates, and the island itself is constantly submerged due to natural disasters, making it impossible to grow ships. This situation is caused by the geographical environment of resources. This situation cannot be completely reversed by one or two craftsmen and shipbuilding technology alone. The genius of Tom the Murloc can only give the people of the capital of seven waters a little hope.

When William invested in the shipyard of Espagu, many people in the Morgan Group, including Shylock who managed the finances, could not understand William's approach and even dissuaded him.

It's just that although William usually fully considers the opinions of his subordinates, once he has made up his mind, no matter what others say, he cannot change it.

In the eyes of Sherlock and others who have fully understood the environment of the capital of seven waters, the situation that the city is facing now is a dead end no matter how you look at it, and a few sea trains can't change the overall environment.

If it is said that it is to obtain the technology of sea trains, then the first investment is enough, and it has also helped Espagu a lot, but in fact William has made several capital injection plans after that, and the expected investment The total amount exceeds two billion Baileys, but the arrival of the Golden Lion Shiji and the Navy Headquarters disrupted William's arrangement. Otherwise, the current shipyard in the capital of seven waters would have been acquired by Esbagu, who is rich and powerful because of William's capital injection. It's over.

No one could understand William's approach before. It was not until William threw out the train network plan that everyone discovered William's intentions. Esbagu and his shipyard were actually just a part of William's plan.

The shipyard has not been established for a long time, and is currently in the stage of struggle. Even Esbagu, the big boss, must go deep into the front line of the shipyard from time to time. He does not have the capital to sit in an office, break away from the craftsman group, and be a pure manager. On the other hand, like the craftsmen, he usually wears strong work clothes suitable for labor and works on the shipyard construction site, but today he specially wears a suit, and the workers brought by him are also required to wear formal clothes by him.

A few foremen who were used to wearing loose and comfortable work clothes stood awkwardly behind Esbagu. After a while, one person asked, "Boss, who is he?"

Several other people also interjected: "Yeah, we have always been secretive. We have worked in the shipyard for so long, but we still don't know the identity of the benefactor?"

"He has never even been to the shipyard. Is it because he is too arrogant? Or he doesn't care about the money he invested?"

Whether it is William or Espagu, they have been consciously concealing the source of funds temporarily. The craftsmen of the shipyard only know that there is a big benefactor behind the company who handed Espagu a large sum of money. The international students from the East China Sea were also given a gag order. Most of the people who worked with them only knew that they were not natives of the Great Sea Route. A few people may know that they are from the East China Sea, but they don’t know the specific situation behind it.

After the news of the battle between William and the navy spread, Espagu couldn't help but rejoice at his decision with William. If the relationship between the navy and William was the most tense, and the company's close relationship with William got out, the consequences would be disastrous.

But now, when the news that William has become the new king Shichibukai spreads all over the world, what's more important is that Akin personally called Espagu in the Chambord Islands, and mysteriously told Ace on the phone Bagu, when William was going to personally visit the capital of seven waters this time, and bring solutions to the plight of Espagu and the city, the haze in Espagu's heart dissipated, and he came to see the company's real big boss.

In the distance, an ordinary, seemingly inconspicuous merchant ship was sailing towards the pier. A group of craftsmen talked about it, thinking that the ship of the big money maker behind the scenes didn't seem to fit people's fantasy.

But when the merchant ship stopped and lowered the gangway, a blond young man with a black knife stuck in his waist walked down, most of the workers on the dock who saw his face clearly gasped involuntarily.

Seeing him, the so-called ordinary of the merchant ship has also become unpredictable, inconspicuous, and hidden.

Some illiterate workers, who never read newspapers, did not understand the reason for the sudden change in the complexion of their companions. When they asked questions, the companions lowered their voices and explained the identity of the blond man to them.

He is the big pirate who has been rumored all over the place because of newspaper news, and once offered a reward of one billion Baileys. He is the only new king Shichibukai who was born in the East China Sea, the weakest sea in people's impression. The Pirate King" Morgan Stolt William.

It was the first time for the workers in the shipyard to know that their boss behind the scenes was a famous pirate.

Happy Mid-autumn Festival!
