One Piece: The Soul Purchasing Pirate

There was a slight pause after the toast, and Locke's eyes were a little dazed.

Once upon a time, he was a hero on the battlefield, leading countless warriors in bloody battles.

He is loyal to His Majesty, with blood in his heart. But time has passed, the family and the country are gone, and the beautiful woman who was by her side has long been transformed into a skeleton and buried in the ground.

Recalling the past, the eventful years are beyond regret. The general has become a thing of the past, but the legend of the pirate hunter has begun to echo on the surface of the sea.

"Didn't you dream of being a general since you were a child? Locke!"

Xiu Sen's words sounded again, and Locke woke up.

He hesitated for a while, then sighed: "Xiu Sen, you must know that we are just a subordinate of that person now."

Indeed, Luo Chen owns the entire island at this time, and he does not know how many people's lives are in his hands, let alone how many people are willing to flatter him and work under his command. And he, in the final analysis, is nothing more than a defeated one, and trustworthiness is a problem first and foremost.

"You think too much, Locke, Luo Chen is not such a stingy person."

"You have a lot of insight into the matter of knowing people, but you haven't seen the fact that this guy's heart is in the world and his ambition is greater than the sky?"

"And all along, such a person with great ambitions would not care about such small things as you and me."

"Those who make big things don't care about small things, is Luo Chen such a person that even you and I dare not use?"

After a few words, Locke froze and thought again.

It has been his dream since he was a child to become a general, lead soldiers, and fight for the people he is loyal to. At the moment, Andoro Island is full of waste, and the changes every day amaze him. Moreover, Luo Chen's imposing manner, wanting to do great things, also makes him tempted.

Working under such a powerful and ambitious person, I don't know how high he will be in the future.

There is no doubt that this moment is the best opportunity to realize your dream.

"You're right, if Luo Chen doesn't even dare to use me, then he doesn't deserve to be one of the kings of the sea!"

A smile appeared on Locke's face, and then he stared at Xiu Sendao again.

"how about you?"

"I?"

Xiu Sen was taken aback.

"Yes, if I serve as a general under his command, what about you?"

Locke asked in a deep voice.

They were brothers, and even though they wanted to hack each other to death because of some conflicts, after all, blood is thicker than water, and deep down in their hearts, that friendship still exists.

"Me? I am the captain of the Xiusen Pirates, and now that I belong to Luo Chen, it is naturally the sharpest knife in his hand."

"When everything in Andoro Island stabilizes, it's time for the rising emperor to expand his territory!"

"At that time, you were the inside, and I was the outside! In the hands of Luo Chen, the most forward general!"

Xiu Sen smiled, seeing his position clearly.

Locke's eyes narrowed, and he worried: "But if this is the case, is your safety?"

He didn't go on, if he were to be Luo Chen's pioneering knife, he would have to face countless powerful enemies, and at this time Luo Chen's generals were few, except for his own partners, there was no other, it could be called lonely.

Naturally, the best way to do this kind of dangerous thing is to leave it to Xiu Sen.

"It will be sad at first, but soon, this lord will."

After speaking, Xiu Sen suddenly shook his head and laughed.

"Besides, Locke, I was just doing the job of licking blood with a knife, and it seems to be the same as before!"

Locke froze for a moment, then sighed.

On the seventh day of occupying Andoro Island, the entire island has taken on a new look. At the four ports in the southeast and northwest, tall sentry towers were erected, equipped with light armor, and heavily guarded troops stood side by side, guarding the port. Moreover, there are teams of soldiers patrolling the streets back and forth.

The entire island is now under the control of this newly established army. Whether it is law and order or the weather, there has been a big change.

The government building, as well as Luo Chen's palace, have already been halfway built.

The Red Flame Skull Flag hangs high at the highest point in the city center. When the sea breeze blows, it shakes and exudes a ferocious and majestic aura.

A flag makes the pirates in the four seas fear, and no one dares to violate it again.

The prestige of defeating Kaido brought Luo Chen a power that no one dared to offend, and it also made him famous in the sea.

Anyone with insight can naturally see that the rise of this overlord is probably unstoppable. Going to the bad end at this time may be able to achieve great things when he is fledgling, but at the same time, it is easy to be slapped to death.

Many pirates had long since given up on Andoro's idea of ​​scrambling, and instead targeted the rest of the islands.

There are more than 30 islands, even if one is gone, there are more, aren't there?

On this day, Luo Chen was half lying on the golden nanmu dragon chair carefully prepared by the ministers for him, listening to the reports of the three ministers.

"My lord, the latest batch of taxes levied is about 230 million, throwing out a part necessary for the operation of Andoro Island, which is what you ordered from my lord."

"The rest is about 120 million."

The Minister of Finance said cautiously.

"One hundred and twenty million?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

The three ministers below seemed to see the change in Luo Chen's expression, and immediately became frightened.

They know that pirates have a perverted hobby for money and other things, and most of them occupy the islands for the purpose of enjoying life and collecting money.

"My lord, please don't worry. This is only a week's tax. Moreover, Andoro Island is much more stable now, and merchants are more willing to come here. The daily transaction volume is increasing rapidly."

The chancellor of the exchequer explained profusely.

However, this did not soften Luo Chen's indifferent expression in the slightest.

"My lord, this time our new army ransacked and ransacked those who did not obey your lord, and also gained a fortune from it."

"The amount, when converted to Pele, is about 20 billion. If the adults need money, this is not a problem at all."

Suddenly, the military minister stood up and said loudly.

"More than 20 billion?!"

Luo Chen looked up, a little surprised.

Those businessmen who were killed by him had such rich family fortunes?

"Yes, the specific amount is still being counted, but it must be more or less."

The Minister of Military and Political Affairs affirmed, paused, and glanced at the Minister of Finance.

"I handed this matter over to Fine after preliminary statistics. I believe he will figure it out soon."

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, my lord, I will try my best to calculate the specific amount of this property, and then send it to my lord."

Chancellor of the Exchequer Fine assured with sweat profusely.

"Um."

At this moment, Luo Chen had a smile on his face. He glanced at the three of them and waved his hand.

"Let's all go down."

When the three of them retreated, Luo Chen's eyes lit up.

"More than 20 billion, very good."

"It seems that the idea of ​​farming devil fruit can be realized soon."
