Arkham in the pirate world

"Hahahaha, idiot, I have a Devil Fruit that can break me into pieces. Your slashes have no effect on me, hahahaha." The red-nosed Captain Bucky's body was torn apart, avoiding Kuina's slashes.

Guina's face was expressionless and her figure disappeared.

"shave"

She suddenly appeared on Captain Bucky's right side and kicked Captain Bucky in the face. Captain Bucky's cheeks were sunken, his teeth flew out mixed with blood, and his head flew away from his body.

"Captain Bucky"

Another piece of sea.

Crowe faced off against Crick. Crick was holding a battle ax and looking around, trying to find the disappeared Crowe.

"spoon"

One by one, the crew members fell, and Crick shouted angrily: "What's the point of hiding?"

"Are you looking for me?"

Crowe's cold voice appeared behind Crick. Crick shuddered and raised his hand to swing his ax backward.

However, he missed it.

"not good"

Ten rays of cold light crossed each other, and blood flew up.

The armed merchantmen who followed Crowe cheered.

Crowe took off the cat's claw, looked at the broken blade, and frowned slightly. As his strength increased, the weapon that was once easy to use became a bit of a drag. After all, it was not made by a famous craftsman. The enemies he encountered were too strong and would often be damaged.

"With the awakening of Haki, I can keep up with the speed of the spoon, but the spoon is not suitable for one-on-one battles. New moves must be developed. Moreover, I still need to buy a devil fruit, preferably the animal type agility type. Fruit that fits my style.”

Crowe pushed up his glasses slightly. A smart man like him fought rationally and knew what was suitable for him.

"However, devil fruits are hard to come by. There is no devil fruit illustrated book, and I don't know what kind of fruit it is."

Dark room, round table.

A dozen menacing figures in different clothes, but all with skulls and skulls, looked at each other, wary of each other.

They all had injuries on their bodies, and some were quite serious. For example, Klick had ten criss-crossing wounds that were very obvious on his chest. If it had been deeper and hurt his internal organs, even if he had a strong physique, he would still be dead.

"Damn it, that stinky woman is so domineering that she dares to kick Uncle Bucky in the face." Captain Bucky gently touched Lao Gao's swollen cheek.

As a Devil Fruit user, ordinary fists cannot hurt him, but Haki is different. It is a power that can even hit natural Devil Fruits.

"Hey, fat bitch, what are you looking at?" Captain Bucky glared at the ugly woman opposite.

"I am the most beautiful woman in the sea, with a red nose." Arrita, whose face was full of freckles, patted the table and stood up.

"Red, red nose"

Captain Bucky stood up with an angry look on his face: "Say that again, you damn fat bitch"

"red nose"

"Want to fight?"

"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"

"Hey, hey, please be quiet, you two idiots, can't you understand the situation?" Click slapped the table.

"Who are you"

Captain Bucky and Arrita glared at Creek at the same time.

"Hey, what are you arguing about?"

Others also spoke out one after another. They were all famous pirates in the East China Sea. They were unruly and disliked each other.

If the two sides met in the past, they would definitely have to fight to determine who was superior, but today no one took the initiative.

Because they are prisoners now.

The door was opened, and the light from outside came in. The noisy room immediately became quiet, and everyone looked towards the door.

A young man walks in.

"Hey, everyone is in good spirits. Why don't you decide the winner first? I'll come back later." Liszt asked with a smile.

When Crick saw Liszt, he frowned. He felt familiar, but he couldn't remember him. After all, he hadn't seen him for more than three years, so it was normal for him to not be able to remember him.

Others were even more confused. Liszt was not well-known. Who knew who he was?

"Hey, who are you?" A strong man stood up and glared at Liszt with fierce eyes.

Liszt turned his head to look at him and pointed with his fingertips.

"boom"

He simulated a gunshot in his mouth, and the pirate leaders were confused and even wanted to laugh. The big man jumped forward and fell to the ground. The sharp-eyed pirate leader saw a bloody hole in his back, which seemed to be some kind of circular shape. The sharp weapon penetrated his heart.

Liszt glanced around and asked, "Now, you know who I am."

Such a weird way of killing, and killing without mercy, shocked everyone, even Captain Bucky, who sat down obediently. He thought of the monsters on the ship before.

Liszt sat down where the big man was sitting and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what I can give you."

After Liszt left, the room was deathly silent.

"Hey, are you really willing to hand over your treasure?" Captain Bucky asked reluctantly, breaking the silence.

"No, any pirate is willing to hand over his wealth. But compared to life, money is nothing more than life." Arrita said.

Everyone looked at the five corpses on the ground. They were all idiots who refused. The smell of blood was quite pungent.

"It's okay to hand over the treasures. Didn't he say that those treasures still belong to us, they are just used as investments, to inject that or something." The slightly timid captain scratched his head.

"East China Sea Development Corporation"

"Yes, that company, we can get part of the dividend every year, and after ten years, we can get back all the investment. In fact, it is similar to the dark gold in the dark world, but the return is lower than the dark gold."

As the two sea areas calmed down, the Arkham Chamber of Commerce was able to expand rapidly, but expansion required a large amount of funds.

Liszt doesn't have the ability to make things out of nothing, but in this era of rampant pirates, is there any better person to get money from than pirates?

Don't Have

Pirates plundered mainly merchant ships. They sold the goods to black market merchants at low prices, and the income was distributed to the cadres and crew members according to a certain proportion. Most of it was pocketed by the captain. Some captains had great ambitions and recruited troops to maintain and protect the country. There is not much savings left for ships, weapons, and some misers will hide their treasures.

But no matter what, the pirate leader will definitely have a sum of funds in his hands to deal with the crisis.

Therefore, the treasures of many great pirates have become the dreams pursued by new pirates. The biggest dream of current pirates is undoubtedly the great secret treasure "One Piece" left by Roger, the King of Pirates. Countless pirates raise their flags and fight with each other.

Liszt felt that instead of letting the pirates bury this money deep in the ground, it was better to take it out, shine it, and create more wealth. In short, it was to "raise funds" from the pirates, whether they were willing or not.

Haha, do you have a choice?

Either die or give money, was Liszt's attitude.

This "fund-raising" also inspired Liszt.

No power, from individuals and families to countries and world governments, is inseparable from money. What institutions can directly deal with money?
