Pirates: How many divisions does the Five Old Stars have?

Chapter 208 How can I be an entrepreneur...

At the same time when the political turmoil broke out in the Kingdom of Goa, in order to avoid suspicion, Ma Qiao had already completed the inspection and consolation work to the two production bases of Cococia and Sirob in the East China Sea, and returned to the Shurima Special Economic Zone in Alabasta to meet with the old man. Friends started a happy journey of scoring points in the game.

"Boss Ma Qiao, long time no see!"

"Boss Ma Qiao, when will new ninjutsu be released? When will the price of those eyeballs be reduced?"

"Boss Ma Qiao, why is this year the year of the dragon? I don't like dragons, but I like gnats. Can you give my Mistnin cutie a special skin for the year of gnats?"

"Boss Ma Qiao..."

The customers in the Internet cafe greeted Ma Qiao in a hurry.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

Faced with all kinds of unreasonable demands for price reduction, Ma Qiao said with a smile: "Next time."

But among these customers, there was one who yelled the words "Boss Marjorie" almost through his teeth.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Crocodile!"

Ma Qiao moved a stool with a smile and sat beside Crocodile.

Crocodile, who has settled in Shurima for nearly a year, still combs his shiny and moist hair, but the high-end cigar in his mouth has become a life-saving brand cigarette produced by the Big Bird Consortium.

Tobacco abuse is prominent in One Piece.

The male characters in it smoke everywhere, and there are also a lot of women who smoke.

For example, the old murloc woman in the capital of seven waters.

For example, Nami's adoptive mother.

Of course, there is also the long-legged maid adopted by Ma Qiao's student Yamato.

Marjorie didn't like women who smoked, and the smell of tobacco made him uninterested.

But it is really difficult to help baby5 quit smoking.

Fortunately, through the unremitting efforts of Zaun's scientific research team, a mint-flavored cigarette has been developed.

This is not all the kind of e-cigarettes that are used to sell dog meat, but a new type of tobacco that is actually made by using genetic technology to modify plant seeds, and then added a small amount of life potion ingredients.

Not to mention that this kind of cigarette is good for the human body, at least it will not do any harm.

Of course, the pirate world has an iron lung per capita.

Smoker, Crocodile, Sanji, and even Akainu and others never leave their mouths. They don’t know how many cigarettes or cigars they smoke every day, but they don’t seem to be troubled by respiratory diseases at all.

Once they switch to the cigarettes produced by the Big Bird Consortium, their lung function may be greatly improved.

Of course, Shoushou brand cigarettes are the same as short-lived ghost drinks, and they provide products with different price levels for different markets.

At this time, Crocodile smoked a very cheap mid-to-low-end cigarette.

Taking a deep breath, Crocodile exhaled the cheap smoke.

Although he wanted to say that he missed the high-end cigars in the past, he knew that what he really thought in his heart was that this kind of refreshing and refreshing cigarette tasted better than the cigars he used to smoke.

but……

Is the cigar smoking the taste?

Do not!
Cigars are smoked with taste!It's awesome!It's status!

Crocodile glanced at the network manager who was sipping instant noodles in the distance. The cigarettes on this guy's ears were actually better than his own, so he didn't get angry.

The network administrator of Big Bird Internet Cafe is an enviable high-income position.

And Crocodile, as the Shichibukai under the king, is said to be a combat force directly under the jurisdiction of the world government and the navy, but in fact he does not receive a dime of salary.

The old dog Karp, the old thief Zefa, and the mysterious masked man who appeared recently who is suspected to be the general Aokiji, they are all members of the system with fixed salaries!

Everyone messes around, indulges in Internet cafes, and sits and eats by themselves, but they don't have a lot of money.

Crocodile had to lament that this world is so unfair!
The most important thing is that Karp and Zefa all subconsciously think that they have a lot of savings and don't worry about food and drink at all.

But the fact is that, as a middle-aged man in his 40s, he once owned a large-scale company and had countless money in his account. Even if he spent every day, it would be enough for him to squander for several lifetimes.

However, the sky is unpredictable, people have misfortunes and fortunes, and the financial market is volatile.

The unexpected incident of Galtino's attack on the Celestial Dragon caused Baroque Works' finances to plummet, and its market value evaporated instantly.

Although Nicole Robin and Marjorie, two loyal employees, conducted crisis public relations in time to stop the company's losses, they were already powerless.

Now as far as Crocodile knows, Baroque Studios has been acquired by the Big Bird consortium for 150 billion Baileys.

Crocodile was not dissatisfied with this at first.

Although the Baroque Cooperative was the result of his ten years of painstaking efforts, in the end it was nothing more than a tool for him to plan for the Alabasta Kingdom.

Now that the company has exploded, it is also a clear way to stop losses in time and take the money to leave.

As long as he has these 150 billion Baileys, coupled with his connections and reputation, Crocodile believes that he will soon be able to re-establish a powerful criminal organization.

However, problems soon arose.

When Crocodile tried to contact Nicole Robin and asked to take back his own property, he was rejected.

Because the money is now pledged in the Shurima Bank as Crocodile.When I wanted to receive the money as MR.0, I was told that I had to prove that I was myself.

How can Crocodile prove itself to be MR.0?

It's almost impossible to do.

Because of the sensitive incidents related to the ancient weapon Pluto, in the past ten years, Crocodile has never participated in the management of the Baroque studio with his true face.

If there are no scary monsters like Garp, Zefa, or even Aokiji here, Crocodile can of course use a desert sword to tell the bank staff what it means to be king.

It's a pity that times are different...

Crocodile glanced at the old Karp dog who was yelling and immersed in the game on the other side, and sighed.

He tried his best to put on a gentle expression, and asked:

"Boss Ma Qiao, I wonder if there's anything new about the reorganization and acquisition of Baroque Works recently?"

"It's still the same!"

Ma Qiao sighed: "Old Sha..."

"Ok?"

"What, Lao Sha?"

"No, it's alright..."

Crocodile took a deep breath.

Lao Sha is Lao Sha.

He who can bend and stretch is a great hero!

"Old Sha..."

Marjorie took out a cigarette and wanted Crocodile to light it for him.

But looking at him as a rustling man, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water. Ma Qiao was really embarrassed, and he didn't like smoking at first, so he took this pack of high-end cigarettes worth [-] Baileys stuffed in his hand.

Crocodile's gloomy face melted visibly to the naked eye.

Yes, Marjorie is still a loyal man!

Although he used to fish and paddle at work, when the company really faced a crisis, he was also the first to jump out, bravely take responsibility, and help the company together.

His attitude towards himself is not very respectful, but he can't be blamed, after all, he doesn't know that he is MR.0.

Everything is extenuating!

Crocodile took out a high-end cigarette, lit it and put it in his mouth.

The thick and wonderful taste filled the entire nasal cavity, mouth and lungs, making him feel refreshed like never before.

At this moment, Crocodile even wanted to cry a little.

After all, this kind of life-reducing brand cigarettes is very expensive at first glance, but I am afraid that I will never be able to smoke other cigarettes in the future, and I will cough if I smoke other cigarettes.

"Old Sha? Old Sha?"

Marjorie's call brought Crocodile back to reality.

Ma Qiao went on to introduce: "To be honest, Baroque Studio is my old employer, and Mr. MR.0 is my bole. It can be said that without Baroque Studio, without MR.0, there would be no Ma Qiao and Big Bird today." Consortium."

"So in terms of emotion and reason, I must protect the Baroque Work Agency, keep a firm eye on the property of the Baroque Work Agency, strictly implement financial security, and strictly implement witness verification. I must not let any ulterior motives deceive me With Mr. MR.0's painstaking efforts..."

Listening to Ma Qiao's eloquent and eloquent speech, Crocodile's eyes gradually became dull.

He had a hunch that his property seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

But things hadn't reached the point of despair. Crocodile suddenly remembered something, and his fighting spirit was rekindled.

That was his mysterious elder brother.

Some time ago, by chance, Crocodile discovered that this man who always wore a sand-proof face mask was actually Neferutali Cobra, the current king of Alabasta.

Although it is not very clear why, as a king, he still visits Shurima City privately to settle down, while working as a cook, while browsing the website of Beihai Style Girls on the Internet.

None of this matters.

The most important thing is that Crocodile found that King Cobra of Alabasta appeared by his side in such a swaggering manner, and did not take precautions against himself.

Then as long as you start your own criminal brain, it is not difficult to find a reasonable way to directly start from Cobra and steal the entire Alabasta kingdom.

Although this method is more direct and risky than the Utopia battle that I originally planned, but it leads to the same goal by different routes, as long as I can successfully steal the country in the end, that is enough.

It's just that stealing a country is not so easy.

Before that, I had been brewing for ten years, and then I planned such a grand plan as the utopia battle.

As a result, the plan was interrupted by an accident before it was implemented, and the baby was stillborn.

This time, I have to plan more carefully and cautiously. There must be no more accidents in this huge project to steal a country.

Just when Crocodile lamented that being a pirate is difficult, and being a pirate who steals a country is even more difficult, the old thief Garp suddenly walked over with a phone in his hand and a strange expression on his face.

"Karp, don't bully me too much. I played three dungeons with you last night. I can't say anything today. I want to take a good rest!"

Crocodile stood up with a frightened face: "And calculate the time, won't it be your daily practice time in a few minutes?"

"That's right, it's time for me and my lovely disciple to practice, and I don't have time to guide you to level up."

Karp shook his head, passed Crocodile, came to Ma Qiao, and handed the phone bug with a strange expression:

"Scarf boy, so you and I are half-citizens! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Are you talking about the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea?"

Ma Qiao spread his hands: "They are all distant relatives. I have a very high seniority over there. I'm afraid that when the time comes to sort out the genealogy, Brother Garp, we two will have no way to discuss education as equals... ..."

"You bastard!"

Garp laughed loudly, and a pair of iron palms hit Ma Qiao's shoulders, making a clanging sound of steel colliding:
"The old man's seniority is also super high, so you don't have to worry about that."

"Brother Garp, why did you suddenly ask about this?" Ma Qiao asked knowingly.

"This is..."

The strange expression on the face of the old thief Garp became more and more intense. He stared at Ma Qiao and looked left and right to make sure that he did not have that disgusting aristocratic aura. Then he looked at it and said:

"There has been chaos in the regime of the Kingdom of Goa. According to the will of the former King Sally of the Kingdom of Goa, plus the certification of the Outlook family, and the fair mediation of the world government, the final research has decided that you will be the regent of the Kingdom of Goa. Second Lord!"

???

Crocodile, who was still thinking about how to steal the country, raised his head, his wise eyes full of question marks.
