Pirate: I am Kaido’s son-in-law and dog-headed strategist

"But it doesn't matter, the ultimate beneficiary will definitely be us."

"Mish-Man Island is the most important transportation thoroughfare. It is an indispensable strategic location for us to enter or control new pirates in the field in the future. The Neptune royal family's rule in the country is very popular among the people. Having a good relationship with him will help. It will be beneficial for us to divide our troops and station them here in the future, and..."

Ross paused, "And it will help us gradually be accepted by the fishmen and mermaids, and thus slowly win people's hearts..."

"I understand."

Before Rose finished speaking, Ares interrupted him, apparently understanding.

This surprised Ross.

He thought he would have to spend more time talking, but he didn't expect that he could get through it in just one click.

Rose smiled and said, "As long as you can figure it out, I'll ask your sister-in-law for a day off later. Let's rest today and recuperate. There are more important things waiting for us to do tomorrow."

"Ah."

...

The next day, Ross ordered Sabo and Eniro to take some of the palace guards to the ship to move the valuables back to the villa.

Rose himself took the restless Ares and Nami out. They planned to go to Gironcod Square to wait for Princess Otohime's speech. They were accompanied by four palace guards.

Although he had some minor verbal conflicts with Princess Otohime yesterday, he believed that Princess Otohime, a kind-hearted person like her, would not argue with him.

The reason why he came here specifically was to get close to Bai Xing. You must know that this is a living ancient weapon. Even if it may not be used by him, he cannot let it become a sharp weapon to harm him, right?

It is almost always correct to set it up properly.

When Nami learned the destination, she was depressed all the way. She looked at Ross and complained: "Boss, you know my experience, why do you still let me wander in a place full of so many murlocs?"

"I don't believe you didn't mean it."

Although she was warmly entertained in the palace yesterday, she still had no favorable impression of fishmen, and even felt a little disgusted with them. She didn't like places full of fishmen.

Now that she has gotten her revenge, she is not extreme, but she is still a child after all.

"You still have the nerve to say that when we had a banquet in the palace yesterday, there were quite a few fishmen guards from the palace next to us. Why do you eat so well?"

Before Ross said these words, he sent away the palace guards behind the three people. Seeing that Nami was getting more and more unhappy and about to cry with grievance, he hurriedly said: "Okay, actually, I brought you out specifically because I wanted to You do something big."

"Let's not talk about whether we are going to do something big or not. What you just said, boss, is too much!"

"I learned this from you. After all, there are always people treating me... If you don't eat, you won't get it for free... And the person treating you is obviously a mermaid! Those fishmen guard me far away from them!"

"Also, what does it mean to eat well? Which of your eyes can see that I am eating well? I am obviously full of righteous indignation!"

Nami retorted angrily.

"This big thing is very simple. I make phone calls every day and get an annual salary of 50 million beli. Do you want to do it?"

Ross didn't bother to argue with her, so he first tried to directly offer the increase, promising it with money.

...

"Boss, tell me, I think I can barely let go of my hatred now."

"After all, they don't belong to Aaron's group. I can still tell the difference between those who should be hated."

Nami was silent for a while. After thinking for a long time, her attitude suddenly changed, as if she suddenly realized the truth.

It's just that her face is a little different from the joy she used to have when she mentioned money. This time she is a little more deliberate.

When Ross saw this scene, he knew that Nami was caring about him, pretending to be strong and making concessions, and was slightly moved.

But let's get down to business. He explained in a low voice: "Yesterday's mermaid princess has extremely important strategic value to us. I need you..."

"The boss needs me, so I want to get close to her, right?"

"Even if we go back in the future, we must maintain our relationship with her."

Nami quickly guessed Rose's purpose.

"How did you guess that?"

Ross was confused. When did Nami's IQ rise rapidly?

"To tell you the truth, the first time I saw the mermaid princess, I felt as if I had met her somewhere before."

Nami recalled the scene when she saw Shirahoshi yesterday, and said solemnly: "This is a very strange feeling, like in the dark... Oops, I can't explain it."

"Anyway, I feel like she has some kind of power that attracts me."

"And combined with the strange looks and doting actions the boss gave Bai Xing yesterday, and what the boss just said, I can guess the boss's intentions."

When Ross heard this, he looked deeply at Nami.

Listening to Nami's description, Ross increasingly felt that Nami was the King of Ancient Weapons, but that was all. Until there was no direct evidence, everything could only remain speculative.

"Thank you for your hard work, Nami."

"I promise, when we leave Fish-Man Island, I will never let you be around a fish-man who annoys you again."

Ross made the promise very seriously, even though he knew that in the original work, Nami would choose to let go of the scars in her heart and forgive after seeing the painful experiences of the fish people.

But some things can only be relieved when you reach a certain age and have enough experience.

It would be too harsh to let Nami suddenly realize the truth of the world now.

He said this now just to make Nami feel better in her still naive heart.

Of course, "annoying you" is also a flexible term, leaving plenty of room for change in the future.

"Ah."

Nami, who knew that her thoughts had been discovered, forced a smile.

Coder Square, Geelong.

Ross and his party seemed to have arrived a little early, as Princess Otohime's speech had not yet begun.

In order to avoid the noisy environment and take care of Nami's mood, he took the two of them for a walk to a remote tavern, and deliberately shook off his tail behind him.

It has to be said that those palace guards were stupid enough. Ross originally thought that he would have to take a few more turns to get rid of them completely, but who knew that Ross was overthinking it. Before he could start to show off his skills, when there were more people, When they see acquaintances chatting, they lose sight of them, really 6.

This palace guard seems to be hereditary, and has the same urinary temperament as the Eight Banners disciples.

The tavern was empty when they entered.

Under the boss's complicated gaze, Ross ordered some drinks and food and started to eat happily.

Ares and Nami saw this and followed suit.

But before they could enjoy a rare moment of peace.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tavern, which finally stopped abruptly with the sound of the door being pushed open.

Ross was keenly aware of the identity of the leader and secretly thought it was a coincidence, but he did not stop eating in his hands.

Nami followed the boss, not afraid of anything, and simply turned a deaf ear.
