The Black Duke of the Pirate

It's hard not to be impressed by this unique outfit, shape, and appearance.

Reinhard looked up and saw Bonis, so he walked over with a smile, and the guards behind him moved down several boxes of wine.

"Long time no see Bowness." He greeted with a smile, and then instructed the guards to move the box to Bowness. Several of his men stood behind him.

Bonis nodded after seeing Reinhardt and asked his men to move the box away.

After his men left, Bonis said calmly: "Long time no see, Mr. Reinhardt, the boss asked me to pick you up."

Bonis is a serious, old-fashioned, unsmiling man. He was originally a bounty hunter in the West Sea. By chance, he joined the Baroque Working Society and became an agent. He has always been loyal to Crocodile because he always believed that people like Crocodile

This legendary figure, who dared to challenge the white-bearded hero at the age of twenty, will surely occupy a position at the top of the world in the future.

But he didn't know that Crocodile was no longer what he used to be. Ever since he was defeated by Whitebeard, he had doubts about reaching the top by relying on his own strength.

To put it simply, the road has gone astray.

"The arms trading stronghold in the warehouse can be passed at any time." Bowness continued. Reinhardt made a special trip from the small town of Whiskey Peak just to see the construction of the arms trading warehouse stronghold here.

The warehouse will not only store the arms traded to Crocodile, but will also become Reinhardt's commercial center in the future.

Crocodile promised him that he could give himself half of the right to use this town, so he was so interested. Today, any of his products that enter the Grand Line can be redistributed here based on Whiskey Peak.

Loading, shipping.

Reinhardt nodded, and then asked casually: "What is your boss Crocodile doing recently?"

"It's...it's not convenient to say." Dazbonis hesitated for a moment, but finally refused to tell him, "The boss has ordered that his movements are the top secret of Baroque Works."

"Tch, what's the secret?" Reinhardt walked towards the greatly changed tavern in the distance without caring. He smiled as he walked, "Isn't it the Alabasta Project?"

"You..." Dazbonis was very surprised. This Reinhard seemed to really know everything. Only the boss and himself knew about this plan, but why did this guy know about it?

He would not leak it, and his boss would not leak it either, so this made him even more confused and shocked.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in Alabasta." Reinhard turned to look at Dazbonis and said with a smile: "Are you wondering how the secret was leaked?"

Bowness nodded, he really wanted to know. He was an agent himself and knew how difficult it was to obtain confidential information.

"There are no secrets in this world that can never be revealed. Besides..." At this point, Reinhard paused. "There are many types of Devil Fruits in this world, and there are always some that can be predicted from countless distances."

Some kind of secret fruit ability.”

After hearing this, Bonis nodded in understanding. He clearly didn't get any answers, but he understood that this Reinhardt must have eaten some kind of related Devil Fruit. It seemed that he had to get rid of this matter as soon as possible.

Just report the matter to your boss.

After entering the town, I found that the town had changed a lot. Except for some basic residential houses, the rest were all huge warehouses. The warehouses were guarded day and night, but many warehouses were still empty.

, so there are currently relatively few guards.

The tavern that was destroyed two years ago was rebuilt, and it was more than ten times more grand than before. After having a full meal, Bonis took him to the warehouse where the weapons were stored.

The arms trade between Crocodile and Reinhardt included muskets, artillery, and cold weapons including swords, guns, swords, halberds, and spears. Whiskey Peak was their fixed trading location, because the first stop after coming down from Upside Down Mountain was Whiskey.

Peak, very convenient.

Bonis took Reinhardt to the warehouse where the arms were stored. There were a large number of weapons in the warehouse, some of which were muskets and artillery.

"The weapons I provide have been specially improved. Among all arms dealers, they should be the most cost-effective. There will be no increase in price when the quantity is increased."

Reinhardt walked into the warehouse, took a short musket and looked at it, then smiled and said to Bonis behind him.

"Our boss is very satisfied, but this batch of arms will be stored here for a while." Bonis naturally knew that the arms he provided were far more sophisticated than the arms dealers he had contacted before, and the prices were relatively low.

Low.

This batch of arms is quite important to Crocodile, because it may be needed for the next Alabasta project.

After wandering around the arms warehouse, Reinhardt came to several other vacant warehouses. These warehouses were built according to Reinhardt's requirements and were prepared by him for the future establishment of the Grand Route-Four Seas trade.

In addition, he will also establish a trading company on the Seven Islands of Water to coordinate the operations of all its industries.

"Are these patrolling guards all members of your bounty guild?" Reinhardt asked suspiciously when he saw the patrolling guards, each of them dressed differently.

"Yes, we are the Bounty Hunters Guild under the Baroque Working Society." Bowness replied.

Reinhard frowned. These people are too unprofessional. Can they be good guards? In the future, if there is an opportunity, they should replace these guards with their own people.

Reinhardt didn't tell him this, so Bonis took him around the town a few more times.

"The boss means that the volume of arms transactions will increase by 30% in the future."

At this time, Bonis said, it seems that the current quantity cannot meet Crocodile's needs.

Well, 30%... Reinhard thought for a while and nodded: "No problem, 30% means 30%. By the way, ask your boss if he is interested in adding another deal."

"What deal?" Bowness was stunned.

"Metal ore." Reinhardt had thought about it. The metal ore obtained from trading with the revolutionary army alone might not be able to meet his needs, so he must also develop new businesses. As a Shichibukai, Crocodile must be able to meet his needs.

There will be channels, and with ores, he can not only mass-produce arms, but also carry out various industrial upgrades, and the sea train structure also requires a large amount of metal ores.
