The Black Duke of the Pirate

After hearing Mayor Lange's assurance, Reinhardt nodded: "Then you go, I'll wait here."

A true master would not be able to stop him even with ten times more security guards, not to mention that these weak guards deployed by Lange were just a show-off for the officials of the World Government.

However, Reinhard is not worried. As long as he is here, he does not believe that anyone can attack World Government officials under his nose.

After Mayor Lange left, Reinhardt walked to the window. He opened the curtains and looked out through the gap. The night view of Water Island could be seen at a glance. There were many entertainment activities on Water Island at night, and there was a lot of entertainment and entertainment.

The streets are bustling with activity.

At this time, Reinhard was suddenly startled, because he noticed a man wearing a mysterious mask. The dark mask was dotted with a vague pattern in the center. It was a person he had never seen before, and it looked a bit weird.

mask.

The man was wearing a black trench coat and was at least two meters tall. Because he was wearing a mask, his face could not be seen.

But... the mysterious masked man suddenly looked up and seemed to know that there was someone watching him in a certain room in the building.

"He's smiling?"

Reinhardt was also a little surprised by his conclusion. The mysterious man was clearly wearing a mask, but the moment he raised his head and looked over, he felt like he was smiling at him. It was such a weird feeling.

Um……?

That guy... is weird. Reinhardt murmured in his mind,

Reinhard felt a dangerous reaction coming from his body. This came from the mysterious masked man. That guy was a master.

Thinking of this, Reinhardt did not hesitate. He immediately opened the window with his hands and jumped down suddenly. The mysterious masked man did not seem to expect that Reinhardt would rush over immediately, so he disappeared into the crowd and disappeared.

Reinhardt was jumping in the night sky on moon steps. Suddenly his vision went dark and he lost track of the mysterious man. He stood in the crowd and turned on the domineering power of knowledge, but in the end he could not find any clues.

What happened just now... Why did the vision in front of my eyes suddenly darken at the moment I jumped down? Could it be that this guy also has the same phantom fruit as the [Gyro] Vice Captain Kangton of the Pirates?

Possessing some kind of weird ability that can block the domineering energy of seeing and hearing?

Unexpectedly, the Seven Islands of Water really hide a lot of amazing people. Through the scene just now, that guy obviously knew that he was the bounty hunter [Nightmare] who was recently famous on the Water Island. That smile just now also obviously

With bad intentions.

Reinhard stood in the crowd and slowly thought about it. After completely losing track of the mysterious man, he used the moon step to return to the room just now.

As soon as the window was closed, the door to the room was opened. Two guards walked in first, followed by Mayor Lange. Behind him was a middle-aged man in a suit. You didn't need to ask to know that this middle-aged man

They should be world government officials.

Mayor Lange introduced the middle-aged man very respectfully. At the same time, he also saw Reinhardt, so he smiled and said: "Dear Lord Nicholas, the man in front of you is from the Kingdom of Porkarlia in the North Sea.

Black Duke, Lord Reinhardt.”

When Lange started to introduce, he deliberately emphasized the word Porcarlia because the Tianlong people had just inspected this country not long ago.

"Dear Lord Nicholas, I am Reinhardt." Reinhardt extended his palm and said with a smile.

Nikolai had the natural arrogance of a government official, so he smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to shake Reinhardt's hand, and said while looking at him: "I have heard what Leo said, Lord Tianlong admires you very much.

, and it is precisely for this reason that I agreed to this negotiation."

After Nicholas was introduced into the room, he was followed by a young man in the same black suit. Although he kept silent, he was very alert. He should be the bodyguard that Nicholas brought here this time.

After the two sat down, Mayor Lange went out to guard the door, and Nicholas's bodyguard was ordered to leave the room.

"Doflamingo must have revealed some information to you about my sea train project plan."

Reinhard said without any nonsense.

"Of course, that's why I'm here." Nicholas nodded and replied, and then continued: "Doflamingo should have told you our requirements."

"I said it, but I don't think this is a fair way to cooperate." Reinhard smiled and nodded.

"Talk about fairness with the world government?" Nicholas suddenly laughed, "I don't know if you are naive or our world government is naive."

Although Nicholas smiled, it sounded like he had no intention of backing down.

"I hope we can both show some real sincerity to each other," Reinhard said, taking a sip of tea.

"What do you mean by sincerity?" Nicholas asked calmly. He really wanted to know if Reinhard had any constructive suggestions.

"Of course, both sides need to make concessions, otherwise cooperation cannot be achieved." Reinhardt replied with a smile, "You may think that with my current strength and influence, I am not qualified to negotiate business with the World Government."

Nicholas nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for Saint Carl Emma's inspection in your country, and Doflamingo's reason, I wouldn't have made this trip at all."

"So, you really have no right to bargain with us."

After hearing Nikolai's almost inhumane words, Reinhardt was not angry. He looked at Nikolai's indifferent face and smiled: "No one will refuse huge benefits obtained for no reason, no matter how arrogant the world government is,

There’s no reason to push back the easy-to-get benefits, right?”

"The principle is this, but it also differs from person to person." Nicholas nodded, "This is the [threshold]."

"I have an offer that both parties can accept."

"In that case, let's talk about it." Nicholas continued, "Look at how the world government can easily obtain huge benefits from this project."

"It's very simple. All the costs of the Sea Train project will be borne by me, but similarly, the authority to operate the Sea Train will also be permanently handed over to me, and the World Government can act as a supervisory agency and issue me a [Four-Sea Linkage Operation Permit]

】Exclusive operating rights, and when I operate the sea train project, I need to pay a huge operating fee to the World Government every year."

Reinhard said slowly, while looking at Nikolai's eyes, as if he wanted to read something in his eyes.

"[Sihai-Connecting Operation License]...exclusive operating rights." After hearing this, Nikolai murmured, "This is quite interesting."
