Pirates: The biggest scum in naval history

"At least we shouldn't trust the lives of millions of people to luck, or the kindness and mercy of those crazy Dracos."

Darren said in a calm voice.

"What if?"

Kobra's voice suddenly became hoarse, and his expression became calm. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Darren and asked:

"Alabasta is a member of the World Government. If we don't entrust the lives of the country and its people to the protection of the government, who should we entrust it to?"

"Navy? But the navy is also an organization under the government."

"Throwing yourself into the arms of pirates? Obtaining the protection of King Shichibukai? Or the great pirate group in the new world? That would be even more ridiculous, wouldn't it?"

"Still..."

His eyes gradually narrowed.

"You want to bring Alabasta under the protection of the North Sea Fleet?"

Darren shrugged, spread his hands and smiled:

"I don't deny that I have such an idea, but I know very well that it is impossible. At least you won't agree, right?"

Kobra didn't answer the question.

Because the answer is unquestionable.

The ancestor of their Nephite clan was one of the twenty kings who founded the World Government, so Alabasta, as a member of the World Government, is the only "orthodox" one.

The most important point is that Cobra actually has doubts in his heart about whether the North Sea Fleet has enough capabilities to protect the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Not to mention, if Alabasta betrays the World Government and takes refuge in Darren, it will definitely lead to extremely terrible retaliation.

Alabasta simply cannot bear such consequences.

"Since you understand, don't force me, Darren boy."

Cobra sighed and said.

"No, I don't mean to force you to make a choice, Your Majesty Kobra."

Darren smiled and said:

"As everyone knows, although I, Rogers Darren, am a scumbag, I am an honest businessman."

"What I want to do now is discuss a business deal with you."

Cobra frowned:

"A business deal?"

He lowered his voice subconsciously.

The sounds coming from outside the carriage window became increasingly sparse, and the sound of horses' hooves and wheels rubbing against the ground also became much softer. The outside world was quiet and peaceful, and the sunshine that occasionally drifted in was clear and soft.

It was obvious that the carriage had driven out of the inner city of the Holy Land Mary Joa and was passing through the place where most of the Draco people lived - the Land of the Gods.

After passing through this land of gods and walking for a few more minutes, the carriage will arrive at the center of power of the World Government, Pangu City, located on the Stairs of Heaven!

"Yes, a business."

Darren smiled and said:

"There is a saying in the business world, "Don't put all your eggs in the same basket"... and now I am going to provide you with another "egg" basket for Your Majesty Kobra."

He paused and said meaningfully:

“…a basket independent of ‘world government’.”

As soon as he said this, Kobra's eyes narrowed, and Icarim's face turned pale.

"you mean……"

"That's right."

Darren winked at Kobra and said:

"Alabasta does not need to publicly secede from the World Government's membership, nor does it need to swear allegiance to me. You are still the core member of the World Government's membership and have a pivotal position and voice in the World Conference."

"Based on this premise and basis, if one day Alabasta faces a huge disaster, or is persecuted and threatened by the government, you Nefit family can apply for asylum from me or the North Sea Fleet."

"Well, captain of the guard, do you have any coins?"

He suddenly turned to look at Ikarem.

Ikarem was stunned for a moment, then tremblingly took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to Darren.

Darren tossed the coin, and as the arc of electricity flowed through his fingertips, under Ikarem's shocked eyes, the Alabasta coin quickly melted, deformed, and finally reconstructed into a new coin. .

The lines on the coin are deep and cold, with the word "NF" imprinted on them.

"North-sea Fleet?"

Cobra took the coin handed over by Darren, looked at the words on it, and read it softly like a whisper.

"Yes, this is a token."

Darren smiled and said:

"With this token, the Nefit family can use the channels of the World Economic News Agency to contact the contact person of the North Sea Fleet."

"As long as it is within reason, they will do their best to comply with your request."

"That's the price I offered."

Kobra fell silent and stared blankly at the coin in his hand.

The remaining warmth above was still hot, but he was completely unaware of it.

"A basket... In other words, this is equivalent to an insurance for Alabasta?"

he murmured.

"That's right!"

Darren smiled with satisfaction, seeming pleased with Kobra's ability to understand.

"Even if one day you in Alabasta encounter an enemy that you are unable to fight against... whether it is His Majesty the Shichibukai or the legendary pirate of the New World, I think as long as you show me this coin, they will give me a face. "

"Of course, if you are really unfortunate enough to fall out with the World Government, the North Sea Fleet can also help you solve it...at least it can protect millions of people in Alabasta."

As Darren said these words, Kobra suddenly felt that the small coin in his hand seemed to be as heavy as a mountain, possessing immeasurable weight.

If any other force tried to offer him such conditions, he would only think that the other party was simply crazy and talking about fantasies and fantasies.

But the man standing in front of him at this moment... his name was Rogers Darren.

Even the World Government and the Five Old Stars cannot shake the "King of the North Sea" in the slightest!

If it is true as he said, as long as he shows this coin, the North Sea Fleet will provide unconditional assistance...

So there is no doubt that Alabasta has indeed obtained a huge and safe insurance policy!

Whether it is the Shichibukai under the King or the great pirates of the New World, before trying to attack Alabasta, they must weigh the firepower of the North Sea Fleet and the thunderous methods of the man in front of them!

Because as we all know, Rogers Darren is a vengeful, rational and crazy scum!

Cobra's heart suddenly beat faster.

I have to admit that he did take action.

This is an incredibly good deal.

No commitment is required, no allegiance is required, and on the surface, there is no need to pay any price at all!

"All you need...is information?"

Kobra opened and closed his lips.

"Yes."

Darren laughed:

"What I need is just a little bit of information."
