Chapter 268 Casting out the bait

Dock No. 1, one of the largest docks in the water capital.

The steel gate was half open, there was not even a janitor, and it was unusually quiet, as if it was in a state of shutdown.

"Hi, is anyone there?"

Beat stood at the door and called for someone, but there was no response.

When everyone walked into the dock, they found that the boatmen were all gathered under the innermost office building, and it seemed that something had happened.

"Cha la la la, it can't be wage arrears!"

Bayate maliciously speculated that he used to be a member of a regular weapons company, and for some reason, he didn't have any good feelings for the boss.

However, he was wrong.

"The president committed suicide by jumping off the building!"

Half a month ago, Dock No. 1 ordered a batch of steel and timber, but on the way back, the transport ship encountered pirates.

Nothing to lose.

So, Mr. President committed suicide by jumping off the building.

The boatmen surrounded the president's still warm corpse.

Similar situations have happened three times in the past two years.

"It's so miserable!"

Kaido looked at the boatman with gloomy eyes. Compared with physical trauma, hopelessness is the most fatal.

Perhaps, only the Sea Train can save the city.

"Hey, someone is here."

At this time, the boatmen also noticed the arrival of outsiders, and they all showed vigilant eyes. Now that the water capital is in a depression, there are more thieves and swindlers than guests.

Kaido stared at the boatmen, and asked calmly: "I want to build a medium-to-large three-masted sailboat, who of you can do it?"

"."

The boatmen looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect that in this extremely difficult time period, there would be customers coming to build the boat.

Everyone's eyes focused on the foreman Bipley in unison.

The status of a boatman is determined by his skills. Although Bipley is young, he is definitely the number one in the city of water in terms of pitching, forging and tackle.

Bipley came out and shook his head facing Kaido: "Sorry, guest, we can't help you build a boat."

"Why?"

Kaido frowned slightly.

"Guest, as you can see, our president just died, so Dock No. 1 is temporarily unable to accept orders. You can go to other docks to have a look."

Bipley didn't want to refuse guests either, but the president committed suicide and Dock No. 1 was about to close down, so even if there were guests, it didn't make sense.

What's more, there are no materials for ship repair and shipbuilding in the dock.

"I see."

Kaido nodded slightly, threw the sack containing the money on the ground, and piles of Baileys were thrown out, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Here is 500 million Pele, can you help me build a ship now?"

"."

500 million Baileys, even a large warship is completely enough!

Bipley took a deep breath, and immediately picked up the tools. This money can bring the No. 1 Dock back to life, absolutely not to be missed!

"We have accepted this order, what is the customer's request?"

"I want the branch of the treasure tree Adam as the main body of the ship. You are a professional shipbuilder and should have channels to buy it."

The corners of Kaido’s mouth raised, this boat is prepared for Yamato, the specification doesn’t need to be too big, but the quality must be the best!

At least as good as Roger's Golden Jackson and Luffy's Sonny, he still has a lot of special ideas to add to the ship.

"Treasure Tree Adam!"

Bipley's face turned ugly. If it was just an ordinary ship, he could barely build it by borrowing materials from other shipyards.

But the treasure tree Adam is the top material used as the keel and main body of the ship, it is extremely rare and must be purchased on the black market.

500 million Baileys is indeed enough, but transportation is a big problem. With the current sea environment, they will take great risks.

Before he could make a decision, the other boatmen recognized Beat, and their expressions changed suddenly.

"Foreman Bipley, these people are the Black Rose Pirates!"

"Pirates!"

Bipley was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his heart.

The Black Rose Pirates, the newly rising pirates!

Its captain "Ghost Gun" Beate is one of the three supernovas who have just made their name this year, and the bounty is 142 million Baileys.

There is a conspiracy!

Deliberately placing large orders, and then robbing the transport ship, this is a common routine of pirates!

Kaido couldn't get a response, so he couldn't help but frowned: "What, is there a problem?"

"Guest, this"

Bipley's mouth was parched, looking at the 500 million Baileys covering the ground, he was really reluctant to give up the order, but if he was tricked, the No. 1 Dock might be doomed.

"Guest, you need to go to the black market of the Sabaody Archipelago to buy the treasure tree Adam, but with our current strength, even if we can buy it, we can't transport it back!"

"In Sabaody?"

Kaido was a little surprised, it seems that Sabaody is not only the largest slave market, but also the largest place for other illegal transactions.

Had to make another trip.

"Hey, hey, let us solve the transportation problem!"

Kaido pointed to the crowd behind him, and said confidently: "You are responsible for purchasing the treasure tree Adam, and we will transport it back to the water capital!"

"If that's the case, then we have nothing to worry about!"

Bipley breathed a sigh of relief. Since the customer can bear the risk of transportation, it is really necessary to build a ship.

After all, it is the customer who spends money and transports the goods. If there is a problem, the customer will be the first to bear the loss, and they will waste some manpower at most.

It takes time and some luck to buy the treasure tree Adam, so the sooner you go to Sabaody, the better.

There is not much time left for Dock No. 1.

Bipley said in a deep voice: "Guest, it takes a long time to build a ship. If possible, I hope to set off tomorrow."

"no problem."

Kaido nodded, looking at the foreman's hesitant appearance, his brows were raised slightly.

"Anything else?"

"guest"

Bipley hesitated for a long time, then bowed and asked: "Can we advance part of the cost of building this ship?"

"Well, yes, I will give you a deposit of 100 million Baileys first!"

Kaido laughed loudly, the group of boatmen were probably almost destitute, and urgently needed money to support their families.

Leaving a full 100 million Baileys behind, Kaido led everyone away from Dock No. 1 and walked towards the port.

Kaido said lightly: "Beate, I will trouble you about buying the treasure tree Adam. I still have something to do on this island."

"Cha la la la, boss Kaido, promise to complete the task!"

Beata is full of confidence, but he is just escorting a batch of rare wood, which is too simple for the Black Rose Pirates.

Kaido stopped and looked at Beat.

"Beate, maybe you can't understand, but what I want to express is that the treasure tree Adam transported this time must be snatched by other pirates!"

"Snatch???"

Bella was stunned.

what does it mean?

The treasure tree Adam, which was purchased with a lot of energy and money, is specially used to be robbed by others?

Wait, boss Kaido seems to have some conspiracy!

"Hey, of course, ordinary pirates are not qualified to snatch this batch of goods!"

Kaido laughed, a strange gleam in his eyes.

If he can't catch it when fishing, let's go fishing!
