Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

Moby-Dick, on deck.

The moment Scarlet awakened the Overlord’s Haki, many weaker pirates rolled their eyes and fainted.

Seeing this situation, Whitebeard was not angry. Instead, he looked up to the sky and laughed:

“Goo la la la!… What a funny little girl!”

“Then let me just listen to what your purpose is!”

“The Kingdom of Dressrosa would like to be included in your sphere of influence.

For this reason, we will hand over 10 billion beli to you every year. ”

“Ten billion……?”

Hearing this, a flash of emotion flashed in Whitebeard’s eyes. This amount of money is not small for him…

In fact, under Whitebeard’s rule, due to the differences in the situation of each island, the “protection money” provided to him by the other party was not just treasures, some were food, and some were daily necessities.

For example, Matsas Island provides him with a ration of food every year, and Palm Island provides him with exquisite handicrafts… The items provided on each island can be described as diverse.

Speaking of which, Whitebeard has a very special hobby. Any young man he likes will say:

“Be my son!”

To be honest, most people will more or less want to punch them if someone suddenly says something like this…

That is to say, it cannot be defeated, otherwise…!!!

Closer to home, those sons that Whitebeard accepted cost money to raise…!

Although the affiliated pirate groups of the Whitebeard Pirates would pay him a certain amount of money every month as a tribute, due to the various regulations he set, such as not being able to attack ordinary people and poor islands, etc. …

Therefore, the income from Whitebeard’s affiliated pirate group is not much, and what can be turned over to him is even less!

There are more than a thousand people in Whitebeard’s direct headquarters. Almost all of them are good players, but at the same time they are all losers…

Just to support this group of “sons”, Whitebeard spends a lot of money and supplies every day, and there is not much money left at the end of the year.

In addition, he will also anonymously send part of the black money and materials he obtained back to his hometown of Sphinx.

Although his relatives and friends no longer exist there, it is still the hometown where he was born…

All in all, Whitebeard is actually very short of money!

However, facing Scarlet’s proposal, Whitebeard did not directly agree.

Using 10 billion Baileys in exchange for the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates is a good idea.

but……

If Whitebeard agrees easily, things will become very troublesome when more and more countries in the New World come to seek his asylum with the same conditions…

Now that the territory is under the jurisdiction, it needs to bear the security problems arising from pirates.

It would be okay if there were just one or two more countries. With the strength and eliteness of the Whitebeard Pirates, they could handle the situation.

But once the number of territories exceeds a certain level, the current strength of the Whitebeard Pirates will be stretched thin.

Whitebeard relies on his strength and is not afraid of challenges, but his sons are different, so he will also have concerns about some things…

Of course, if you don’t have enough troops, you can actually expand the size of the pirate group, but Whitebeard doesn’t accept everyone!

Those scum that he dislikes or have bad deeds are not in his consideration at all…

So, Whitebeard couldn’t help but asked Scarlet:

“Just because of this, do you want me to agree to your request?”

“Of course it’s more than that!”

Scarlett turned her head and glanced at Tezzolo, who immediately understood and took a step forward.

The green-haired young man in a pink suit said with a smile:

“Hello! Mr. Whitebeard, I am Tezolo, the boss of the Umbrella Company.

This negotiation is actually initiated by the Kingdom of Dressrosa and the Umbrella Company together to initiate it from you…

If you agree, lend your pirate flag to Dressrosa.

Then our Umbrella Company’s future arms and weapons will be sold to you at preferential prices lower than the market price. We will not sell certain new weapons to the outside world, but will also supply them to the Whitebeard Pirates. ”

“Umbrella Corporation…?”

Hearing this, White Beard’s brows frowned slightly. He had some impression of the name, but he couldn’t remember the specifics.

Seeing this, Marco, who had been standing nearby, quickly walked to Whitebeard’s side.

“Dad, Umbrella Company is an underground arms company that has recently become famous. Their weapons have better performance than other counterparts…

Our pirate group also ordered a batch of weapons from them…”

After Marco’s explanation, Whitebeard finally recalled

got up.

“Since it was jointly initiated by two forces…

Then, your umbrella company must also express something…

Every year from now on, you will provide our Whitebeard Pirates with 10 billion beli of arms free of charge.

If you agree, I can lend you the pirate flag!”

Upon hearing this, Tezzolo thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

In this negotiation, the bottom line given by Sephiroth is 20 billion beli…

At first glance, this amount seems ridiculously high!

but……

In fact, 20 billion Baileys is really not that much!

Just like in the original plot, the Evil Dragon Pirates went to Cocoa West Village to collect protection fees, 100,000 beli for adults and 50,000 beri for children. A village can collect 25 million beri per month, and the evil dragon The pirate group rules twenty villages and towns…

Based on Cocoa Nishimura’s standards, the Dragon Pirates can collect 500 million beli every month and 6 billion beli a year!

In comparison, the Whitebeard Pirates, as the top pirate group in the new world, only collect 10 billion Baileys in cash and 10 billion arms every year.

Although this price is a bit high, it is still a reasonable price!

Besides, arms worth 10 billion beli are not talking about the cost, but the selling price!

The arms business is inherently a hugely profitable industry. When the umbrella company actually operates it, the increased cost will only be 2 to 3 billion Baileys at most, which does not exceed expectations!

After the negotiation ended, Whitebeard picked up the wine barrel beside him, raised his head and took a big sip of wine:

“Gula la la!…Whenever you hand over 10 billion beli to me, you can take the pirate flag from me…”

Upon hearing this, Tezzolo immediately turned around and gave instructions to the two Umbrella Company employees, and then the two quickly ran off the Moby-Dick.

Not a moment later, more than twenty Umbrella Company employees, almost each carrying four large boxes, walked onto the deck of the Moby Dick.

At Tezzolo’s signal, the employees placed the boxes on the deck one after another and opened them.

Click! Click! …

The pirates on the Moby Dick subconsciously looked at the boxes.

When they saw that the box was stuffed with stacks of Bailey’s bills in denominations of 10,000 yuan, their eyes went straight!

Because the visual impact is so strong, they don’t want to take their eyes away from it at all.

Ten billion Baileys!!!

Many of them have lived almost half their lives and have never seen so much money!

Whitebeard drank the wine in the barrel in one gulp and laughed heartily:

“Gu la la la!… It seems that you are well prepared!”

Tezzolo smiled and nodded and said:

“Of course, after all, we are making a deal with you, the overlord of the sea…”

“Marco, go give them our flag!”

Following Whitebeard’s instructions, Marco immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and quickly walked into the cabin, took out a black skull flag and handed it to Tezolo.

Next, after Tezzolo discussed arms-related matters with Marco, everyone left the Moby Dick, returned to the three-masted sailboat, set sail, and left Matsas Island.

Three-masted sailing ship, on the bow deck.

Scarlet’s smile was as bright as a flower. She looked at the silver-haired boy and her voice was a little excited unconsciously, as if she was asking for credit:

“Sephiroth, how are you?

Did I just behave okay? ”

“Yeah! You did great!

It’s beyond my expectation…”

Sephiroth smiled and praised sincerely.

Just now, he was almost prepared for the negotiation to break down, the two sides to break up on bad terms, and that he would need to escape with everyone.

After all, there are two or three big cats and kittens like them, and they might not even be able to withstand a punch from Whitebeard, and they will be beaten to the ground…

After Sephiroth learned that Scarlet had the aptitude for Overlord, the girl’s weight in his heart increased invisibly.

When he attacks Wano and goes to war with Kaido in the future, Scarlet should give him a lot of help…
