I'm a pirate

"Who is your Excellency?"

"What have I done wrong to offend His Excellency?"

"My lord, my name is Lucifer Carlos."

Carlos did not conceal his identity and said straightforwardly.

Morris was shocked and accosted, "Your Excellency Carlos, the City Lord's Palace has never had much to do with your Mafia, what do you mean by that?"

"We're going to fight the people the John's sent, you know that, right?"

"Slightly, but what's that got to do with us?"

"Of course it matters, if we are fighting in the nick of time and His Excellency orders someone to stab us in the back" Carlos said with a smirk on his lips.

"How could that be? Our City Lord's Palace won't get involved in the internal fighting between your mafia."

"It's not just our City Hall, the Navy is the same, as long as you have a sense of proportion and don't massively ripple into the civilians, we will never get involved."

"Absolutely? Where in the world are absolutes?"

"Lord Morris now I give you one chance, and one chance only."

"Did you or did you not collude with the John family in plotting against me?"

"I,"

"Don't deny it just yet, hear me out and think about your answer."

"Scandalous to say, if I use my Devil Fruit ability to confirm your inconsistencies, not only will you die, your wife will die, your children will die too!"

"The City's defense system is useless to me, and I can appear in your bedroom and elsewhere without a word."

"You know I can do it."

Carlos's voice was faint and calm, like the surface of a calm lake, rippling, but the words he spoke made Maurice's scalp go numb with fear!

"Me me me,"

"Half a month ago, the John family did secretly send someone to the City Hall."

Morris didn't dare to hide his cunning in hiding, those scarlet weird evil eyes made Morris have no doubt that there was the ability to verify the truth of his words, he was also somewhat knowledgeable enough to know that the Devil Fruit ability was a thousand and one strange.

Carlos's pupils shrank slightly, his grip on the pistol tightened slightly, he was only here just in case, but he never expected that the city really secretly colluded with the John family.

"What conditions?"

"The John family does not have a presence on Iron Island, the Mike family once took three quarters of the share, a quarter goes to the City, the East Side will be under the jurisdiction of the City in the future, the John family only needs the benefits."

Carlos lightly nodded his head, this condition can be, the John family, the city lord's government both sides do not lose, and both have to earn.

In the past, although the Mike family was an affiliated family of the John family, such an affiliated family, the John family had many under their command, it was not good to squeeze too hard, so the interests of the John family in the Iron Island were actually not as big as the interests occupied by the Mike family.

Now that the Mike family has been replaced by Carlos, as long as the John family can eliminate Carlos's influence, even if they split up a quarter of it, the John family will make a huge profit.

Let's put it this way, the share previously occupied by the John Family was a quarter of the Mike Family's interests in Iron Island, and the Mike Family was the local power, occupying three-quarters.

Needless to say, the City Hall, of course, also made a huge profit, and to put it bluntly, only Carlos's forces suffered!

"A very good plan, but there is one thing I don't know, don't the Johns have the confidence to destroy my forces?"

"And drag you down with me?"

"I guess there are probably two reasons, first, the fear of the city being lured by you, Sir Carlos."

"Secondly, the world is in chaos, the number of pirates should skyrocket in the future plus some days ago, the John family has no intention of substantial expansion for the time being, and is prepared to shrink its forces to hold on to its existing interests, in order to eliminate your Excellency, who is an offense to the majesty of the John family, without fail."

"I see, so what does the lord of the city want to do now?"

"Our city lord's office is no longer interfering." City Lord Morris spoke evenly.

"Huh?" Carlos smirked, "No, your city must intervene!"

"What does His Excellency Carlos mean?"

"Will do, this time I want the John family who set foot on Iron Island to stay here and not go back!"

"Lord of the City, please,"

"This" Morris hesitated.

Carlos, however, gave him no chance to resist.

"Everything is up to you, Lord of the City, your wife, your son, and your lady will be my guests at my place for a while."

"How they fare is entirely up to you, lord of the city."

Carlos grinned, and spoke words that made Maurice chill from the bottom of his heart, from the bottom of his anger was about to speak, suddenly, he felt his head hit by a heavy hammer, his eyelids were heavy, and the next moment he lost consciousness

Chapter 52 - The First War

By the time the lord Morris woke up it was nearly dawn, Carlos had already left, and remembering what Carlos had said, Morris even went back to his bedroom and saw the bed empty and his face went white!

After being dumbfounded for a while, putting on his clothes and going to his own children's room himself, the result was naturally imaginable, all of his firstborn children had disappeared without a trace.

Having reached this point, what else could he do?

Unless he was a cold-blooded, heartless man who directly disregarded the life and death of his wife, his children, and unfortunately he couldn't do that and had to follow Carlos's words and turn the tables on him!

East Side, Carlos brought him back, already unconscious, and handed the three men over to his personal guard, instructing them to watch over them and entertain them well, not to be neglected, and then went to rest.

In the morning, after breakfast, Carlos summoned the three leaders, and told them about the conspiracy between the city lord and the John family, and also told them about his plan to send someone to meet with the steel self-defense army under the city lord to discuss the cooperation.

The three leaders were shocked when they first heard about this, but then they heard that Carlos' had defused the plot and would make the best of it, and they quickly perked up, and their respect for Carlos went up again.

Three days later, the fleet sent by the John family had sailed to the sea surface of the East City of Iron Island, ten large ships lined up, under the sea breeze, the waves of the propulsion, the vast towards the coast.

On the shore, the first line of defense had been set up, fifty pitch-black cannons arrayed, and five hundred Mafia members waiting with long guns, rocket launchers, and long knives on their backs.

When they got into range, the pitch-black cannons on the shore let out roars, and the fifty cannons fired together, shaking the sky, pitch-black shells blasting at the incoming fleet with sharp cracking sounds.

Boom boom boom!

A pitch-black shell exploded in the sea with a splash of rushing water; or smashed down on the deck and side of the ship, and the explosion blew away many of the John family's men, and the flames rose up and were quickly doused.

The sound of the guns was the signal that war had begun!

The John's were not to be outdone, and the cannon from the ten ships fired back, and the dark shells smashed into the shore positions, blowing up the grass and air, splattering the earth, and a big hole surfaced, and many of the unfortunate men were killed.
