Pirates: Start the vampire fruit, rescue the empress

"..."

The boy's eyes twitched slightly, but he still resisted the urge to complain.

Huang Yuan always has a cynical attitude, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking.

"By the way...brother, apart from you coming to collect the bounty, have we met somewhere...?"

With a hoarse voice, Sephiroth echoed with some guilt:

"Maybe I passed by by chance on a certain street?"

It's not a coincidence that when Huang Yuan returned to the Navy headquarters to report to Marin Fando, the two did pass each other head-to-head twice...

Did I get recognized...?

"maybe?"

Huang Yuan scratched his head in a little doubt, as if he remembered something, but he didn't seem to remember anything.

After waiting for the other party to sign, Sephiroth turned around and left decisively, and went to the finance office to collect the reward.

He thought about it, and decided to temporarily seal the vest of the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro first.

Otherwise, if his vest is discovered, it will inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary troubles in the navy and underground forces.

............

Chambord Archipelago, Island 71.

On the outskirts of a large villa, one of the properties under the Umbrella Company, there was a group of bodyguards in black suits on the third floor and the third floor outside. They were standing guard with guns in hand.

In the study on the second floor of the villa.

Wearing a white suit, a white mask on his face, and green hair still dyed on his head, Sephiroth half leaned on the couch, raised his legs, and looked at Tezolo opposite him.

"I'm going to tell you something..."

"Boss, what do you want to say?"

"For some reason, I'm going to stop doing the bounty hunter's work for the time being.

In the future, financial matters can only be resolved by yourself. "

Hearing this, Tezolo was taken aback for a moment, but instead of asking why, he began to report:

"Well! No problem! Boss... Now the company is on the right track, and the capital operation is normal, and it is already in a stable period.

oh!correct……! "

Seemingly thinking of something, the young man's tone suddenly became a bit more dignified:

"Boss, in the past four months, you have hunted and killed pirates and seized all the treasures, you have gained nearly [-] billion Baileys, and you have attracted the envy of countless people.

Recently, I received rumors that seven pirate supernovas seem to have formed an alliance and want to join forces to deal with you and steal your money...

There are thousands of people in their hands, which can be regarded as a very powerful force!

It is the most correct choice for the boss to stop now. "

Hearing this, the corners of Sephiroth's eyes couldn't help twitching slightly, he didn't expect him to be so hated by pirates now.

but......

Can this be blamed on him?

He's just a pirate hunter who wants to make money!

Those dead pirates...

If you want to blame, blame Roger!

Thanks to One Piece King Roger, who used one piece as a bait before his death to start the era of great pirates, the number of people who go out to sea as pirates every year has shown an explosive growth, and the navy is exhausted and unable to contain it.

In desperation, the navy can only adopt a method of greatly increasing the bounty to attract more civilian combat power to deal with the pirates.

It's as if Whitebeard started the era of great pirates for the second time before he died in the war on the top. The navy immediately came with a wave of greatly increasing the bounty. After a few years, the navy will rebalance the nascent sea. Bounty for thieves.

The larger the number of pirates, the higher the per capita bounty, and vice versa, the fewer the pirates, the lower the per capita bounty.

In fact, the Navy also played some tricks in offering rewards.

Among the pirates in the four seas, it can be said that the existence of bounties exceeding [-] million can be said to be rare, or even none. In the first half of the Great Channel, there are more than [-] million bounties, but there are almost no ones with a billion.

As for the second half of the Great Channel... the bounty is less than [-] million, all of them are miscellaneous fish, and the bounty does not exceed one billion, you are not qualified to call yourself a big pirate!

For pirates, the higher the bounty, the greater the reputation, and the easier it is to develop their own power.

Therefore, they will subconsciously try to increase their bounties. Apart from murder, arson and looting, the easiest way to increase the bounty is to defeat pirates with higher bounties than themselves...

This simple and direct method of the navy is also the most obvious small method, but it is very effective. It caused huge ripples in the world of pirates, causing those pirates to start killing each other.

"This is the last fund, 4000 million Baileys..."

Sephiroth first placed a large box on the table and opened it, which was filled with stacks of banknotes.

Then, he took out a small wooden box beside him again, put it on the table, and opened it.

"Also... I hope you can eat this devil fruit."

"What kind of fruit is this...?"

Tezolo picked up the gourd-shaped fruit covered with golden patterns and looked at it.

"Golden fruit, eat it, and you can directly manipulate and smelt gold.

After you develop it to the awakened state, even gold powder can be manipulated freely, and it can also temporarily assimilate other items to turn them into gold. "

Hearing these words, Tezolo was a little moved, but he still hesitated:

"This fruit...too...too expensive, right?"

"I think this fruit is quite suitable for you...

Besides, as the second in command of the umbrella company, if you have no strength at all, how will you convince the public in the future?

Just relying on business acumen is not enough!

In the final analysis, this world still relies on strength to speak..."

Sephiroth sighed inexplicably, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Sure enough, "the black is three times stronger, and the white is seven times weaker" is the eternal truth!

Tezolo didn't experience the pain of losing his favorite, nor the dark memories of being enslaved, so he seemed a little slack in terms of cultivation.

He had already told the other party the training methods of the six naval styles and domineering, but under his guidance, Tezolo practiced for four months, and his strength barely reached the level of ordinary naval soldiers in the Navy headquarters.

However, if you think about it carefully, this is also a matter of course. In a sense, Tezzolo can be said to be proud of his spring breeze, with a double harvest in career and love, and his life has reached the peak.

If it wasn't for the fact that Tezolo had been assassinated several times, Sephiroth guessed that the other party didn't even have the thought of cultivating to become stronger...

"I know boss!"

Tezuolo nodded, and took a bite of the golden fruit...

The extremely unpalatable taste shock made his face turn green on the spot.

"It's so unpalatable..."

"Eat it all! I heard that if you eat all of it, the fruit's initial effect will be better..." Sephiroth said with a smirk.

"Oh……!"

Hearing this, Tezuolo could only suppress the nausea, and swallowed the golden fruit one bite at a time.

After eating, he drank two cups of coffee in a row to dilute the remaining taste in his mouth.

After a while, Tezolo straightened his sitting posture after recovering, and said to Sephiroth after deliberation:

"Boss, I've recently been thinking about expanding the company's entertainment business...

It's just that there is an unclear relationship between Joy Street, the entertainment giant in the Chambord Islands, and the World Government.

I am now hesitant to start an industry competition with them..."

Hearing this, Sephiroth's cheeks twitched slightly, and he quickly dissuaded him:

"I advise you not to take too big a step. The influence of the Happy Street is all over the world. Apart from the Chambord Islands, there are also Happy Streets on other islands, even on the sea.

The reason why it can develop so powerfully is because they belong to the cp0 organization under the command of the world government.

Happy Street is a means used by others to collect intelligence, we are no match for each other now...

If you don't want to be killed by the sudden appearance of cp0, I advise you not to forcefully compete with others in the entertainment industry. "

"cp0...Dragonman's Shield...I didn't expect them to engage in this kind of industry..."

Tezuolo's heart trembled, his face was a little ugly, and he couldn't help slandering: "It's dangerous!"

"Boss, if we don't get involved in the entertainment industry, we will be in a bottleneck period for the time being in the arms industry...

What we are doing now is an arms middleman, wholesale and retail.

In the future, if we want to further expand and develop, we can only expand the downstream of the industrial chain and have our own military factory in order to earn more profits.

In this way, our arms industry no longer needs to be limited to the Chambord Islands, but can be extended to other islands. "

"Oh!? What do you think about the establishment of a military factory?"

"Hey hey...! This is a plan that I expect to be implemented in the next year or two."

Tezolo smiled, turned around and took out two drawings from the desk drawer, and placed them in front of Sephiroth.

One is a rough sea chart of the first half of the Great Channel, and the other is a map of an island.

"This is……?"

Facing the boy's puzzled eyes, Tezolo quickly explained:

"This one is the island map of the Sardo Kingdom, and this one is the approximate location of its sea area. From the Sardo Kingdom to the Chambord Islands, it only takes about five days of sailing time.

Because it can only be reached by permanent pointers, it is higher than ordinary islands in terms of security and concealment, and the country is quite poor.

If we go to build a military factory somewhere, it will be much easier in terms of manpower recruitment, and with Stella, the princess of the Sardor Kingdom, we will get a lot of convenience..."

Under Sephiroth's half-smile expression, Tezolo spoke more and more quietly, until finally he stopped.

"Cough!...Okay! Boss, I admit that I have selfishness in this plan.
