Arkham in the pirate world

Although Doug Fry is young, he looks at issues quite viciously and has his own opinions. Otherwise, Prince Louis would not generously share the opera beauty with him, even if she is a social butterfly.

They are different from those old aristocrats. The thoughts of the old aristocrats have been settled for a lifetime, and they are not as cold as a day. As young people, they are more likely to accept reality and easier to change.

They witnessed with their own eyes that the Minada Islands, from a place no one cared about, gradually replaced the Amor Port where the headquarters of Levi's Trading Company was located, and became the new economic center of the East China Sea. Such an impact was worse than listening to the old man's lecture. , a hundred sentences are all effective.

Because Levi's Trading Company and Arkham Group compete in some businesses, the biggest one being shipping.

If Crown Prince Louis wants to achieve something, he has to work hard. As a competitor, he has really carefully understood the operation methods of the Arkham Group in the past two years, and he is not alone. As a country The Crown Prince also has some capable people around him. From the bottom of his heart, he approves of the operation of the Arkham Group. Although he approves of this method, Levis Commercial Bank cannot be like the Arkham Group and talk about transformation. transformation.

Liszt was able to make a name for himself in Arkham Group, but Levis Trading Company couldn't do it. Even when Blair Gordon was alive, he couldn't do it, because the internal chambers of commerce of Levis Trading Company came from various kingdoms, and they were all reputable families. , no one is afraid of anyone, even a slightly weaker family is really anxious, and there are still three pounds of nails in a rotten ship.

"We still have to get some of the goods. Let's go talk to him together. He has to give you some face."

Doug Fry put down the bread, wiped his mouth, and said, "Especially the batch of porcelain and silk from the West Sea, we have to eat it. Otherwise, it will have a big impact on our market."

"Um"

Crown Prince Louis nodded. Naturally, the two of them were not here to hang out. They both represent the interests of their respective forces and are here to talk about things.

Not only the heirs of Crown Prince Louis and the Doug family, but also the businessmen who come to the recruitment festival now, who are not here for profit?

But what attracts the most attention in the territory now is the large amount of cargo coming from the Grand Line and other three seas.

Everyone who runs a business knows that if they want to sell goods at a high price, they must first be rare, and secondly, they must be rare. And if they want to enhance their reputation, they must have goods that others do not have, which are the treasures of the store. Now, Ah Cam Group holds this channel.

Businessmen seek profits, and pirates also seek profits.

Disguised as a merchant ship, the East China Sea Pirate Alliance, led by the Klick Pirates, encountered the fifth wave of patrols about three nautical miles away from the coast.

The closer they get to the coast, the more energetic the patrol members are, because this area is already in the heart of the country, and people who are usually unreliable will become serious.

Therefore, the members of the patrol team soon realized that these "merchant ships" had too shallow water lines and did not look like heavy-laden merchant ships.

For the ship owner, as long as the ship does not sink, the more cargo the better, and the more money can be earned in one trip.

Therefore, the waterline of a cargo ship must be deeper than that of an armed ship, and much deeper.

Once there was suspicion, there were doubts everywhere. The captain of the patrol team felt that something was wrong, but he did not say anything and let the fleet go.

As soon as the fleet passed by, he immediately fired a red flare into the sky.

A red flare means there is enemy territory.

The Coast Guard Self-Defense Forces cruising along the coastline immediately gathered in the direction of the signal flares.

Seeing the signal flare rising into the sky, Crick and the other pirate captains also realized that they had been exposed, but instead of being nervous, they excitedly shouted to the crew, tore off their disguises, and rushed towards the port of Cocosia City at full speed.

Why not go to the port of Kesha City?

Because all pirates know that Cocosia City, where the Arkham Group's headquarters is located, is the Viscounty of Arkham. It is the richest place, not to mention the gold everywhere, so which fool would go to Kesha City? wander around

As the pirates tore off their camouflage, the speed of the ship suddenly increased. By the time the Coast Guard Self-Defense Force gathered, the pirate fleet was less than a mile away from the coast, and people at the port and on the shore could already see waving flags on the deck. Pirates with swords and guns, and dark muzzles.

The pirates immediately engaged in a confrontation with the Coast Guard Self-Defense Force on the sea, with artillery firing rapidly and the sound of artillery booming.

The lighthouse in Cocosia City sounded the alarm, and all police officers who maintained law and order were mobilized to evacuate the crowd and organize the evacuation of tourists.

This is not the first time that the police department has dealt with such a situation, and the residents in the city are very cooperative. They conduct a similar drill every month, so a conditioned reflex has basically been formed.

On the contrary, those foreign tourists, when they heard that pirates were attacking Hong Kong, immediately panicked and were at a loss.

At this time, some pirates who disguised themselves as tourists and sneaked into the territory in advance revealed their true colors and began to cause chaos throughout the city.

These pirates are all crew members arranged by Klick himself, and are led by his battle captain Ajin.

"Go directly to the Gotham Savings Bank." Akin didn't say much. He knocked a police officer to death with a hammer and led his men straight to the Gotham Savings Bank.

Click asked him to infiltrate in advance, not only to cause chaos, but also to advance the Gotham Savings Bank, which is the richest place in the entire Viscounty of Arkham.

Arkin arrived at the door of Gotham Savings Bank, only to find that there was already standing at the door a short giant carrying an axe, and a team of people wearing bank security uniforms.

Why is it called a "dwarf giant"?

Because compared to the height of the giant, he appears to be smaller, but he is much larger than the average human.

boom

The dwarf giant put down his axe, and the hard stone floor immediately broke into pieces. He said loudly and seriously in a simple and honest tone: "No one can pass through Crook from here."

In the past two years, among the graduates trained by Arkham Academy, there is a guy called "Monster". His reputation is greater than that of the sharpshooter Ivic who graduated two years earlier. After graduation, he was recruited by Gotham Bank. He was picked by the bank and became the "goalkeeper" of Gotham Savings Bank. He was Crook. It is said that during the graduation examination, he punched a Neptune-type guy to death.

When Ah Jin saw Crook, he didn't waste any time and went up to him with his weapon. Crook looked at the little guy as if he were swatting a fly, and greeted him with a slap, a slap as big as a dustpan, blowing out a fierce wind. After being slapped on Ah Jin, terrifying power surged in like an overwhelming force. Ah Jin was immediately slapped to the ground. The ground shattered and a deep pit appeared, and Ah Jin spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Come this way, don't panic."

On the street, the people evacuating the crowd included not only people from the police department, but also the navy brought by Lieutenant General Gion. Lieutenant Colonel Tina personally led the team to protect the tourists who had gathered.

After seeing how much his men spent in just half a day, Gion decisively accepted Liszt's employment.

What's more, as Liszt said, this is the navy's job. No matter what, they will not let pirates cause trouble.

"Fufufufu, are you really okay? Lieutenant General Gion, why don't you take action against those pirates?"

In a tavern, Lieutenant General Gion stared directly at Doflamingo. This was also part of her employment agreement with Lister.

Use Lieutenant General Gion to restrain Doflamingo. This guy is really going to cause trouble. His destructive power is too strong.

"Still, what is your relationship with that Bat boy? I'm really curious. How can he command a lieutenant general?" Doflamingo asked in a relaxed tone while drinking juice.

Facing Doflamingo's temptation, Gion looked calm. She knew very well that currently, the biggest threat to Arkham Viscounty was Doflamingo. This guy had a precedent of destroying towns, so she could ignore it. The little pirate in the East China Sea will not ignore Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai.

"Fufufufu, but this is also an opportunity to see what that bat boy is capable of. You think so too, don't you, Lieutenant General Gion?" Doflamingo asked casually.

The Lord's Mansion is built on a higher ground. Standing on the highest rooftop balcony, you can overlook the two cities.

Liszt was standing on the balcony at this time, looking at the naval battle in Cocosia Port.

With Misty's intelligence capabilities, Liszt had long known about Click's gathering of pirates. He even had his own informants within the Pirate Alliance, but he remained silent from the beginning to the end.

If a child wants to grow up, it will definitely have to go through some ups and downs and be kept in a greenhouse. No matter how beautiful and dazzling it is, if it cannot withstand things, it will be in vain.

Liszt has built a framework and platform for the territory and group, and has gone through a period of development. Now, it is time to make some achievements.

It's a mule or a horse, it has to be pulled out for a run.

Otherwise, who knows whether those large investments were right or not?

Therefore, this pirate alliance raid is an assessment for the territory and the group. Liszt wants to see how far these people under his command can achieve without him taking action, and whether they can do it on their own in the East China Sea. Put the flag up.

A force is like a pyramid. It cannot be accomplished by just one person standing at the top. The foundation is not solid and unreliable. No matter how high you stand, it is just a cloud, because a person's energy is limited.

Liszt knew very well that trying to shake the world by himself was tantamount to wishful thinking. He needed a group of helpers, and some of these helpers needed to be slowly found and absorbed, and some had to be cultivated by himself.

An assessment like this will obviously involve bloodshed, sacrifices, and losses. It can be said that this is a very ruthless decision, but in the long run, it is necessary and beneficial to the development of the entire territory. .

Liszt could still afford the damage and losses caused by these pirates.

As for the innocent people who died because of this incident, Liszt could only say sorry, but he would not be sad.

He is not an angel and cannot save the world.
