Arkham in the pirate world

The pirate attack on Hong Kong lasted for nearly an hour. In the end, without Liszt showing up, relying solely on the strength cultivated by the group and territory over the years, they defeated the Creek Pirates, the Poker Pirates, and the Trej Pirates. There are more than a dozen "big pirates" who roam the East China Sea, including the Pirates Group and the Golden Pirates Group.

The various pirate groups fled, and Coast Guard Self-Defense Force Commander Rebanto teamed up with the police department to launch an arrest operation.

These fleeing pirates are a hidden danger. Once they sneak into the city and cause chaos, they will cause big trouble to public security.

Immediately afterwards, the city hall began to reassure people and tourists and count the losses.

When a series of work is carried out, there is no need for Liszt to issue orders, and the relevant departments will naturally handle it.

It can be said that after several years of running-in, the Viscounty of Arkham has become a machine that can operate autonomously. What Liszt has to do is not to control how the machine operates, but to take it in which direction.

And this is also a reflection of the initial results of Liszt's layout.

After the battle, Cocosia City became lively again. The pirate attack on the port did not affect the opening of the recruitment festival at all. Instead, it added a lot of talk to everyone, and at the same time, they were more in awe of the power of Arkham.

"Fufufufu, didn't you take action? It's interesting, it's really interesting."

In the tavern, Doflamingo laughed after hearing the news, looked at Gion sideways, and said, "How about I try this guy's quality for you?"

Gion stood up and said coldly: "Don't mess around."

"Furfurfurfur"

Doflamingo watched Gion leave and laughed loudly.

baby5 held a cigarette in his mouth and asked: "What does she mean?"

"What she means is that as long as we don't mess around, she won't interfere in our affairs with Bat Boy." Doflamingo said.

"Why did she stop us just now?" Buffalo was puzzled.

"Fufufufu, just now was just now, and now is now. It seems that Lieutenant General He is also eyeing Bat Boy, which is why Gion appears here, but they are the navy and cannot act openly. If it were us, If so, it doesn't matter." Doflamingo analyzed the matter thoroughly in just a few words.

"So, the war is finally about to begin." Baby5 grabbed the giant weapon on his back with murderous intent.

Doflamingo shook his head with a smile and said, "No, it is a good thing for us that Bat Boy is targeted by the crane. We can avoid a lot of trouble. Therefore, he is still valuable and cannot die yet."

"Che" baby5 spit out the cigarette in his mouth and said impatiently: "What on earth should we do?"

Doflamingo has been with these officials for more than ten years and understands their personalities and tempers. He was not angry at Baby5's rudeness and said to Diamanti: "Go talk to him and see if you want to join forces with us." .”

"Dover, you want to join forces with that kid" Diamanti was surprised.

"Fufufufu, it depends on whether he has that ability." Doflamingo said with a smile.

"Our business is mainly in the New World and the North Sea. If we can use the Arkham Group to expand our business to the East China Sea and the South China Sea, it would be a good choice."

Diamanti has followed Doflamingo for many years and immediately understood the meaning of his words. She smiled and said: "This is a good idea."

The so-called cooperation often means that when the two parties are of similar strength, if one party is weak, then cooperation is more than just cooperation.

Especially for a violent gang like Doflamingo, as long as the partner shows a little weakness, they will definitely find a way to take a bite.

Doflamingo is obviously here, why not just go and talk to Liszt instead of letting Diamanti go?

At first, Doflamingo felt contempt for Liszt. Because Liszt was born in the East China Sea and was still young, he would definitely look down on Liszt and feel that he was not qualified to talk to him. This is what everyone would do. The mentality is basically the same as people in big cities look down on people in rural areas, and people of the older generation look down on people of younger generations.

Secondly, Diamanti went to talk. If Diamanti and Liszt broke down, he could come forward to save the situation and leave himself room to advance or retreat.

"If the navy wants to take people away, just keep them all captive. If the navy wants to cause trouble for you, let them come to me. No pirate can leave the port without my permission."

Liszt put down the phone.

The pirates attacked the port and caused considerable damage to the port and Penguin Street. In addition to these obvious losses, there are various medical expenses for injured soldiers, compensation for soldiers who died in battle, awards for meritorious service officers, and compensation for some shops. , which adds up to a large sum.

Liszt planned to get this money back from these pirates, so how could he hand it over to the navy so easily?

What's more, apart from economic considerations, Lister has other uses for these pirates, and they cannot be left to the navy.

Gion, Smoker and other navies gathered together. Seeing Gion's slightly stern jade face, Smoker asked: "He doesn't agree."

"No promise" Tina answered for Gion.

Smoker thought for a while and said: "That guy is different from others. He is a very independent person. Moreover, these pirates were captured by his people. It has nothing to do with us. As long as they are captured, it will be in the hands of anyone." Same."

"How can you speak for him?" Tina said dissatisfied.

"Isn't it natural for pirates to be dealt with by the navy?"

Tina was angry, not only her, but also the navy who came with her. As elites from the headquarters, they must be the main force when encountering pirates. However, Liszt hired them but did not let them do their job. Killing pirates, but protecting the people and evacuating tourists, this kind of work has not been done by them in the Navy Headquarters, it is all done by the logistics department.

All of a sudden, I felt that I had been discriminated against, and I was naturally dissatisfied.

Smoker heard their anger and scratched his head with a headache.

Gion glanced at Smoker and asked, "You know a lot about the Arkham Group."

"Know something"

Smoker nodded. When he came to the East China Sea, it was when the Arkham Group was rising. At that time, after he heard about the tacit understanding between the Arkham Group and pirates, he suspected that the other party was a pirate gang, so he persuaded himself His friend Dadi joined the city hall.

In the past two years, Dadi did provide some information to Smoker. Therefore, Smoker's understanding of the Arkham Group is definitely deeper than that of Gion who only read the documents.

"Then tell me."

Gion had not had much communication with Smoker before. First of all, she didn't know what kind of person Smoker was at that time, and whether he had received bribes from the Arkham Group. To say too much would be wrong, she didn't Don't worry, I won't say much.

After observing him in the past few days, Gion felt that although Smoker had a hot temper and liked to contradict his superiors, he was an upright navy man and was not like those worms in the branch, so he had trust.

Secondly, Gion's mission is not a decision-making of the headquarters, but a personal behavior. It is just a concern of Lieutenant General Tsuru, so it is naturally inconvenient to publicize it.

However, after setting foot on this land in person, Gion found that the situation here was more complicated than the information on paper.

Smoker generally told Gion what he knew about the situation, and finally concluded: "There are fewer pirates heading to the Grand Line in the East China Sea. The headquarters thinks it is due to me. In fact, it is due to the emergence of the Arkham Group. , trapping the pirates in the East China Sea."

"You want to represent luxury goods"

At the Lord's Palace, Liszt entertained Crown Prince Louis and Doug Fry.

"right"

After the pirate alliance was defeated, the two immediately came to the lord's mansion to visit Liszt.

Liszt looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "In business talks, in what capacity are you two negotiating? Are they Levi's Trading Company, or are they in the capacity of their respective chambers of commerce? If it is Levi's Trading Company, I'm sorry, my person just It was found out that there are shadows of some old nobles behind this pirate alliance. I will not cooperate with Levis Trading Company until it is found out. If it is your respective chambers of commerce."

"We have no alliance with the Pirates." Crown Prince Louis subconsciously tried to defend himself.

Doug Fry immediately interrupted Crown Prince Louis and said: "Of course it is the Blue Kite Chamber of Commerce and the White Rose Chamber of Commerce."

Crown Prince Louis glanced at Doug Fry, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

Liszt smiled and said, "Okay, since you two are sincerely cooperating, we can talk."

Walking out of the Lord's Mansion, Crown Prince Louis frowned and said, "This is different from what we said. If we cooperate alone, other chambers of commerce will definitely be dissatisfied."

"If you are dissatisfied, then you are dissatisfied. Didn't you hear what Liszt meant? He will not cooperate with Levi's Trading Company. If it were me, I would not cooperate because there is a direct conflict of interest between the two parties. Who would be an idiot? You're using your own stuff to benefit the enemy," said Doug Frye.

"But, he mentioned working together alone, but that's not the case."

"Yes, he is dividing and dismantling Levi's Trading Company. Again, I don't think that if we work together, we can defeat the Arkham Group. They want money and people now. They just fought We have lost more than ten pirate groups, and they are at their peak. Do you really think there are no other families behind those pirate groups?"

Doug Fry chuckled.

Crown Prince Louis frowned.

"Those pirate groups must have helped them sell the stolen goods. The two sides have been in contact with each other over time. There are some pirate groups and even chambers of commerce who have supported them and specifically used them to deal with hostile chambers of commerce."

Doug Fry said: "So, he said that there is a noble shadow behind this pirate alliance, and I believe it."

Seeing that Crown Prince Louis was still frowning, Doug Fry said bluntly: "I know you are different from us. You want to do something to pave the way for yourself, but think about it, who is supporting the old king now? The agricultural tax reform you are carrying out at Levi's Trading Company is just a formality. There is no need to stand up and tie yourself up. Only the money bag has the right to speak."

Crown Prince Louis suddenly realized, yes, his goal is to be king, and he does not want to be the president of Levi's Trading Company for the rest of his life. To put it bluntly, his position in Levi's Trading Company is to be gold-plated, so that he can stay stable and not mess up.

From the perspective of the crown prince, the Arkham Group is the one he wants to win over.
