One Piece: Roar of Justice

"what do you want?"

Kakulista looked at Yard quietly with deep eyes, and there was no resistance in it, and of course he couldn't see the meaning of wooing.

But Yard still laughed when he heard what Kakulista said, because he knew that since Kakulista could ask such a question, it meant that he had already taken the bait.

"It's simple."

Alder smiled and said.

"I've been working and living on a pirate ship for a long time. I've had enough of this kind of life without a fixed place, and worrying about whether my head will still be on my shoulders before I fall asleep every day, my good friend Zeb La gave me a new way of thinking."

"I want to go ashore."

Having said this, the smile on Yard's face gradually subsided, his eyes were full of spirit and longing, he looked at Kakulista, and said.

What Yard said was very explicit, and Kakulista naturally understood it, but he just smiled, picked up a cup of black tea from the coffee table beside him, and pretended to be confused and said.

"It's very simple. Aren't you on the shore now? I can absorb you as a citizen of the Kingdom of Balegon. This is still possible for me."

Kakulista is testing Yard, testing his bottom line, and at the same time testing his true purpose.

Hearing Kakulista's words, Yard smiled, but shook his head and said.

"Master Kakulista, you are joking, you should be able to know what I want."

"Oh? Then what do you want?"

Kakulista raised his eyes, looked at Yard and asked.

But at this time, Yard's face showed a trace of fanaticism, and he said loudly.

"I want to be the same as Zebra and that William. No, I want to be an official and a nobleman of a kingdom that stands higher than them!"

"."

Hearing Yard's words, Kakulista put the tea cup in his hand on the coffee table, patted his wrinkled palm on his chest, and finally a name appeared in Yard's eyes. For the look of satisfaction.

"Wait for my news."

A few days later, several warships were berthed in the port of Antrus Town one after another.

The other warships and crew members of the Ripper Pirates who were patrolling the waters under their rule all came to Antruth Town at this time.

On the pier, Bellamy, Sarkis and a group of cadres who were originally assigned were all surrounded by Zebra who came here to welcome them.

"Brother Zebra, I think about something and I still want to tell you."

Sarkis dragged his modified Kukeri machete, stood in front of Zebra, and said.

"Come on, talk over here."

Zebra nodded, but turned around and walked towards the city, Sarkis immediately followed.

"About the parking fee?"

Zebra walked ahead and asked without looking back.

"Ah."

Sachs nodded and said.

"There are a lot of ships that are not willing to pay that fee."

Sarkis followed Zebra's pace and said.

But hearing these words from Sarkis, Zebra stopped, turned his head with a strange expression, and glanced at Sakis, but his eyes fell on Ku who was behind Sakis. On top of the Crane machete.

"Don't want to pay the fee?"

"Are the knives in your hand and the guns on the boat all toys?"

Facing Zebra's questioning, Sarkis said hesitantly.

"Behind many merchant ships, there are shadows of nobles from various kingdoms, and"

"And what?"

At this moment, Zebra's complexion has darkened. Obviously, he is in a bad mood now.

"Mr. Astrod and the others acquiesced to the fact that many merchant ships do not have to pay this fee. The reason is that conflicts with those nobles are not conducive to us continuing to keep a low profile."

Sarkis said with some hesitation, but Zebra's face became more and more ugly. Before Sarkis said this sentence, he had already guessed something. Unfortunately, he guessed right.

Zebra is not a dictator. In fact, the power in his hands is only the current "River Pirates" in name. Now the management mode of their power is the same as that of him in the Don Quixote family. Times are different. In the Don Quixote family, Doflamingo has always been the one and only existence. He has the strongest strength in the family. At the same time, he is also in charge of personnel and finances. At that time, Zebra I really don't like this kind of management model, so their current management model is actually more like a red-haired partnership. In name, Zebra is the leader of the Ripper Pirates, and William is the leader of the Baylor Gang. The representative of the kingdom's nobles, Walloon is engaged in research and has no real power in his hands. Lafitte is only the captain of the guard in name, and the guard is under Zebra's hands, so he actually has no power. In the organization, the status second only to himself, and the decision-making power second only to himself is Astrod, the Universal Chamber of Commerce, and the president of the largest chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Balegon at this time.

Originally, the organization performed its duties, at least up to now, it was in good order, but unfortunately, there was a problem within the organization, and the problem lay in Astrod, a conflict of ideas.

"Assert yourself."

Zebra was silent for a while with a gloomy expression before he said such a sentence, then turned his head and continued walking into the city.

Sachs, who was following Zebra, breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Zebra continued to speak.

"You are carrying out my orders, because any troubles and consequences arising from carrying out my orders are all my responsibility. Your task is to carry out without compromise!"

"You bring my words to Lafitte intact, and he will know what to do."

"...Yes, Brother Zebra."

Sachs nodded and responded.

Zebra has changed a lot during this period. He has changed from a small pirate of the Don Quixote family to a big crocodile who now controls a piece of land and holds real power. It is impossible to say that there is no change. Now According to Yard's words, Zebra has become a lot more mature, but to put it bluntly, he has become colder.

Zebra is very dissatisfied. As a superior, he is a very responsible person. In the team, he has always been responsible for formulating strategies, and because of the consequences and side effects of strategies, he will fully bear them, even if problems arise. He will not evade, because things are done by him, and his subordinates only need to implement his top strategy.

Including Astrod, they did very well before, even when Zebra was still in the Don Quixote family, they performed well, but now there is a problem.

Originally, he thought that if Lafitte, who was from Xihai and was known as the devil sheriff, cooperated with Astrod to do this, the efficiency should be very high and there would be no problems, but now he found that he still I haven't fully understood Astrod, this shrewd businessman, occasionally does some smart things.

"Which kingdom does the merchant ship that does not want to pay the fee belong to?"

Zebra asked next.

".There was a captain of a merchant ship who once claimed to be run by aristocrats from the Kingdom of Florence. The Kingdom of Florence is very powerful in the North Sea."

"If you see such a ship again, just sink it!"

Before Sarkis finished speaking, Zebra interrupted directly.

"What bullshit are the nobles of the Kingdom of Florence? As I said, any ship that is unwilling to pay the fee will be sunk. I have no room for bargaining here!"

"understand!"

Hearing what Zebra said, Sachs immediately stood still and said loudly, no matter how slow he was, he could tell that Zebra was angry now.

When the two of them were talking about things, Bellamy, Buffalo, and BABY-5, the cadres, followed silently. In name, after all, they are now members of the escort team, temporarily disguised crew members of the Pirates, Although it is not like the regular army, the ship, including the crew and cadres, is still much more disciplined than other pirates.

Zebra took Sarkis on the road for a while, and not far away, Lafitte was bringing a familiar face, Stuart, standing at the entrance of the town, as if waiting for him.

Zebra walked a few steps in a hurry and came to the entrance of Antrus Town. Stuart immediately greeted him and said anxiously.

"Mr. Zebula, you are back. Lord William asked me to take you back."

"what happened?"

Zebra looked at Stuart with some doubts and asked.

"That's right, His Excellency the Pope wants to see His Excellency William, and His Excellency William asked you to accompany him by name."

".I see. Please make a special trip, and I'll go back with you."

Zebra nodded to Stuart and said.

Hearing what Zebra said, Stuart smiled obsequiously and said.

"They are all working for Lord William, Mr. Zebra, you can often see Lord William, and then you have to say something nice for me."

"sure."

"Then I'll go prepare the carriage and let's go right away."

Stewart said.

"It's work."

Stuart turned and left, and Lafitte and Zebra slowly followed behind.

"Why did the pope suddenly remember to summon William?"

Lafitte asked.

"Alexander III didn't like to see William very much. After all, William didn't have any foundation, and his title of nobility was not very high. Generally speaking, he would not take the initiative to summon William. Someone must have said something to him."

Zebra said in a deep voice.

"Cakulista?"

Lafitte asked.

"It can only be him. I always feel that it will not be a good thing."

Zebra frowned and said.

"By the way, I have something to tell you. Where are the Astrodians?"

"Eh, he went to the wall to attend a meeting of the president of the chamber of commerce."

Lafitte said.

"Party? Who started it?"

"Kakulista's son, Sebastian."

"."

Zebra's frown deepened.

"What's the matter?"

Lafitte asked.

But Zebra shook his head and said.

"Let's talk about it when I get back."
