days in the world of pirates

In the clean and tidy main hall, there is only a three-dimensional clean and transparent coffin.

Inside, a pirate in a suit was struggling desperately, his hands even drawing bloody marks on the glass.

However, no one in the hall looked at him.

Ferdinando, who had returned to the throne, seemed to have completely forgotten that there was such a person in the hall.

His face looks like he is only about thirty, but he is actually in his early forties.

This age is said to be the golden age for countless people in this world. Not only is the physical strength at its peak, but also the development of various fruit abilities, domineering, sword skills, etc. are also at their peak.

It can be said that these are basically the most powerful years of my life.

Since he used his absolute strength to suppress the pirates here more than eight years ago, he has rarely taken action now. No one knows what stage of strength this great pirate, who has a bounty of more than 500 million beli, is at.

Only the highest level of the entire pirate country, that is, a few people in the main hall, knew that their king, who looked gentle but was actually bold, had challenged Whitebeard more than a year ago, and although he lost, he also escaped.

.

This is the reason why everyone here is submissive, even the three captains of his own pirate group.

No one will not be afraid of a powerful monster that even sends you to hell with a gentle smile and a gentle look.

Because with such a person, you won’t understand what he did wrong by feeling his emotions.

In other words, you may die without knowing how.

"Oh, you should read the news in the newspaper. There is news about our new neighbor who is coming soon." Ferdinando on the throne seemed to be moved by some interesting news, and the smile on his face was even brighter than before.

, "The news just came that the Lieutenant General is going to become our neighbor. He has now appeared in the new world. He seems to be a little impatient.

Do you think he also wants to become neighbors with us? Or, he is so impatient that he wants to eliminate us all as soon as possible. I think this is what he should have in mind.

After all, our new neighbor doesn’t have a good impression of pirates who do evil things!”

In fact, this is the reason why so many pirates seek to see him.

Based on their understanding of the monster vice-admiral of the navy, as soon as he arrived at the base, they pirates would either surrender to the Yonko, or they would have no choice but to move away, or stay and fight the navy. There was no other way to go.

They had already taken the first two paths, and there was no need to wait until now.

As for confronting the navy...

"Sir Ferdinando, what if the Vice Admiral arrives and attacks us first?" a bearded captain said.

"That's a good question." Ferdinando smiled and did not answer. Instead, he turned to ask a few people on the other side, "What do you think we should do? If this lieutenant general comes here to show us his authority, no, not

If so, I am sure that the first target of this lieutenant general must be us.

Compared to the two Yonko Pirates, we are undoubtedly the most suitable, just enough to scare the monkeys."

The first person he looked at was the captain of the three divisions of his pirate group, who could also be regarded as his confidant in this country.

After all, these three are basically responsible for most of the affairs in this country.

The three of them looked at each other, and one of them, a middle-aged man wearing glasses who had a similar temperament to Ferdinando on the throne, also wore decent clothes, said, "Captain, we can't just surrender, you know we have people here.

More than 8,000 people can all be used as armed forces. The navy in the entire G-7 base only has half the number of people here. It is impossible for them to use all their strength to attack us.

Compared to us, the other two major forces are the most serious problems in the naval base. Although we are the most suitable target to establish our authority, this does not mean that we have no power to fight back.

With adults here, and there are so many of us, we might give the lieutenant general a surprise and make him give up this idea."

The three captains of their divisions had briefly discussed it before. In any case, it was impossible to directly abandon the island they had been operating for decades - that would mean that the power in their hands would be directly deprived of them.

Escape is easy, but gathering these pirates together is not that simple.

Yes, not all pirates yearn for some unrealistic One Piece, or that kind of absolute freedom.

At least they aren't.

The illusory One Piece and freedom have power, money, beauties and other charms.

"It seems that everyone is very ambitious." Ferdinando said with rare ridicule, "But this is us pirates. How can we run away in fear just hearing the name? Although I also admit that the name is indeed very...

fear.

Speaking of which, I also want to see how powerful this terrifying marine is. I wonder how it compares to the other two monster neighbors?

It’s really enviable to have such a strong strength at such a young age.”

Shardo smiled and said: "When it comes to being powerful, I don't think that naval monster can compare to the captain. The lion that dominates the world is old and disabled after all.

Your Excellency has escaped from the hands of the strongest man in the world before. If such a record is revealed, your reward will definitely be more than this."

Different from the gentle smile on Ferdinando's face that seemed to come from the heart, although Shardo imitated him, the smile on his face was more like a fake smile.

Of course, what he said about escaping unscathed was just to put more money on Ferdinando's face. Their captain was already in a dying state when he came back from challenging Whitebeard.

Shardo's words made other people agree with him.

On the contrary, Ferdinando, who was sitting on the throne, still had the same smile. He waved his hand and said, "I am not as powerful as you say, and the reputation of that navy is not exaggerated.

However, we cannot avoid it after all. This is really a troublesome thing.

People are really a strange collection. I don't want that monster Lieutenant General to come over and cause trouble, but I also want to see how powerful that Lieutenant General is.

What a headache...

Okay, you can discuss the rest among yourselves. If it's not good news, don't disturb me.

Oh, remember to clean up the trash."

As the words fell, Ferdinando's figure gradually became transparent under the eyes of everyone, and finally disappeared completely silently.

There was only an open newspaper on the shining throne to prove that someone had been there.

The other pirates present breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the pirate in the glass coffin who had become unrecognizable due to suffocation, several people came in and moved him out.

They all looked at Chardo at the same time, "Lord Chardo, what should we do next?"

This is actually the reason why they have never left here. There is a powerful king who is powerful but doesn't take care of things very much. Even if they take some risks, this risk is nothing compared to the benefits.

After all, where in this world is there a place without risk?

Chardot pushed up the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a light called ambition shining in his eyes, "The time limit is one week, we have to grab enough supplies before the Vice Admiral arrives, and we are waiting here.

They come over.

Although the monster vice-admiral of the Navy is powerful, our adults have also escaped from Whitebeard before.

If...Sir Ferdinando defeats this lieutenant general, he might be able to become the fifth emperor."

Hearing what Shardo said, the other pirate captains also became excited.

"Sir Ferdinando escaped from the hands of the strongest man in the world. That man was not an old disabled legend like the 'Golden Lion'."

"Not to mention that we still have tens of thousands of troops here. The entire G-7 naval base only has less than 5,000 people. They don't dare to attack them all."

"This is a place we have been operating for decades. The two warships that came before were defeated by us before they even landed. We are not afraid of a few more ships."

Without the oppressive atmosphere of Ferdinando's here, the pirate captains can speak freely without having to be a little cautious like before.

Especially the fifth emperor mentioned by Shardeau was about to make them all rise to the throne.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is true that Ferdinando did fight against Whitebeard and indeed escaped from Whitebeard.

It is generally difficult for people to deceive others, but it is much easier to deceive oneself.

After knowing Ferdinando's attitude, they were not as panicked as before.

They subconsciously believed that Ferdinando could withstand or even defeat that monster vice-admiral of the navy, thereby ignoring the terrible achievements of that vice-admiral.

This is not because they are arrogant, but because people subconsciously choose places that are beneficial to themselves, thereby anesthetizing themselves and deceiving themselves.

Chardot waved his hand to stop the noise. I don't know if he has been imitating Ferdinando for too long. Even many of his habits are somewhat similar to Ferdinando, such as not liking the noise.

But the smile on his face showed that he actually liked the feeling of being supported.

Look, people are often such contradictory animals.

He imitated Ferdinando's smile and said a little more reservedly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's discuss the future plans."

…

…

night.

Today's night is a little different from the past. Thick dark clouds cover the stars in the sky, and even the moonlight cannot shine through the clouds. In this dark night, only the lighthouse standing at the port still guides the ship as usual.

Few people know that on the other side of this island, there is a dark harbor without any signs.

It was the exclusive port used by the Don Quixote family to sell weapons and other shady things.

This port is built very secretly. The ships are not docked in the open air, but are similar to the navy's dock. There is a cave inside. Pirates or other armed forces ships that come here to buy weapons etc. all dock here.

I don't know when the wind suddenly started blowing outside, followed by raindrops the size of peas falling down.

The port was brightly lit, with all kinds of bright lights shining on it, and many people were busy loading boxes of different sizes into the pirate ships docked here.

Under the bright lights, you can see 5 pirate ships of different styles docked here.

This shows that the weapons sold by this king of the underground world are indeed very popular.

Perhaps these guns, swords and other weapons are nothing to the navy, but for most pirates, this is actually their main source of weapons and ammunition.

Why does the dark world exist? Isn't it because these lawless pirates support them?

The name joker has become one of the recognized kings of the underground world in just over ten years. There are naturally various reasons.

Strength is part of it, and the quality and price of weapons are also part of it. Reputation...

Well, of course everyone alive knows that joker has a very good reputation.

The prerequisite is to be alive.

Naturally, a dead person cannot reveal the news.

At least a few pirate ships docked here have chosen to trust Joker's credibility and come here to buy weapons, right?

The sudden heavy rain was a big trouble for the guards here. The guards stationed outside cursed and hurriedly ran inside to take shelter from the rain.

No one saw it, but a tall figure followed the guards who ran in.

When no one saw the figure, he ducked and hid in the shadows.

"Bah, it's really unlucky that it rains at this time." The tall figure cursed in a low voice.

He hid behind a group of arranged goods and stretched his head to observe the five pirate ships docked there to confirm his target.

Taking advantage of the less bright light, you can see the face of this person, it is none other than the great pirate "Black Scorpion" Gron.

He looked at a pirate ship whose bow was full of steel spikes, and his target was determined.

Then his figure became erratic and began to approach the pirate ship.

What was a bit strange was that even though there were patrolling guards and busy workers here, he could always escape one step ahead. No one could detect him until he jumped onto the chosen pirate ship.

The presence.

For a pirate of his level, it is naturally easy to deal with these guys who are mostly ordinary people.

The ship that Gronn was on was a two-masted sailing ship. It was quite decent and was the mainstream among most pirate ships.

The ship seems to have finished its business, and only a few pirates on the deck remain here.

At this time, they were sitting around playing a card game, and there were a lot of Baileys placed among them.

"Hey... did you hear anything?" One pirate's ears moved and he asked the others.

Next to him, a pirate with a scar on his face squinted and sneered: "Ai Li, can't you afford to lose? You just lost a few thousand beli and you want to run away, right?"

This is Master Joker's weapons factory, and there are busy people everywhere. It's a ghost if there is no sound."

"That's right, Aili, you always want to run away every time you lose money. Why don't you make so many excuses when you win money?"

"Yes, yes, this bastard is the best at being cunning. Don't make any excuses."

The other pirates all agreed and condemned the pirate who spoke first. They had just won some money from Eli and they would definitely not let him go.

Ai Li's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Fart, how can I not afford to lose? It's only a few thousand beli, but I still don't take it seriously, keep coming, and whoever escapes later will be my grandson."

Gronn in the shadows breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, now is not the time to take action. At least he has to wait for the ship to sail out to sea for a period of time. Only then can he take action and seize the ship to complete his purpose.

Seeing the pirates immersed in gambling, he quietly hid in the cabin and waited for the ship to set off at dawn.

…

In the Highland Palace of Dressrosa.

Many rooms here are brightly lit all night, and they are in the king's palace.

Violet put down her hand and looked at Doflamingo aside: "Black Scorpion Gron has taken the bait. This group of pirates will be swallowed up to nothing after they go to sea."

"Fuh, fu, fufu, right? I thought Lord Gron would be waiting around forever, but it's really not easy." Doflamingo's face showed no emotion or anger, even in the bedroom.

He still wears the orange sunglasses.

Violet was wearing a purple short skirt and pajamas, almost revealing all the secrets of her legs when she moved around.

"I don't believe that a guy like this can escape your calculations. There may be no one in the world who is better at these things than you."

Doflamingo sat up from the big bed, took Violet's arm with one hand, pulled her into his arms amidst her exclamations, and said with a smile: "Can I take this as your appreciation?

Viola.”

"Of course, this is my appreciation for you."

"It's really my pleasure." Doflamingo smiled and stretched one hand from the hem of his skirt.

"Your hand... touched me!"

"That's not a hand, Viola, fufufufufu."
