Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy
Chapter 403 Katakuri: One cent is enough to stump the four emperors
In the G-5 branch, the warships of the Zhanye detachment drifted directly into the warehouse as usual, almost throwing away Guina who was sailing with the Zhanye detachment for the first time. Fortunately, she was not distracted and stopped.
At this time, other members of the cabin also came out one after another. In fact, when they gathered at Marineland Harbor in the morning, they knew that their vacation would come next.
Because in the past, if they set sail with a mission, Nurkic would definitely explain it to them in advance. This is Nurkic's habit. It also prepares the team to avoid any unexpected situations that may lead to mission errors.
And since Nurkic didn't say anything today, it means that there is no mission, and there is no need to wait in the warship. After leaving the branch residence for half a month, it is almost time to go back and clean up.
No one needed to say hello. The moment the warship anchored, the members of the Zhanye detachment left the warship in an orderly manner. This was a tacit understanding within the Zhanye detachment.
Skyler did not leave so quickly. After waiting for a while, after everyone else had left, Rosinandi and Luo slowly walked out of the cabin.
Although Luo is a member of the Zhanye Detachment, he is actually Luo Nandi's assistant, and Luo Nandi has no actual affiliation with the Zhanye Detachment, so he habitually maintains a little difference from the Zhanye Detachment.
Guina had already left the warship and stood on the port of the G-5 branch. Looking at the G-5 branch building and other buildings with similar architectural styles, she quickly lost interest and turned to look above the warship.
Skyler on the deck waved to Rosinandi and Luo, and the two walked quickly towards Skyler. When they came close, they saluted and said at the same time: "Sir!"
Skyler nodded, then waved and said, "Let's talk about something."
Rosinandi nodded and looked at Luo. Luo raised his hand slightly, and the invisible room stance was activated, but Skyler raised her eyebrows. She clearly felt the hearing loss for a moment. .
"Oh? Developed the same effect as the Silence Fruit?"
Skyler asked with interest. Luo's mood did not change. On the contrary, Rosinandi smiled and nodded, and said proudly: "Luo is a genius."
"There are still many shortcomings and need to continue to be developed."
Hearing Rosinandy's praise, Luo's expression changed, he smiled with joy, and reflected on his own shortcomings. But what Skyler saw was only a face full of Versailles atmosphere.
However, Skyler did not care about these things, but changed the subject and said: "You should also know that the Zhanye detachment will be idle for at least the next year.
Maybe there will be a little backflow in the new world, but the submarine team can solve it. I have plenty of time. Have I accumulated some tasks before that I haven't found the time to complete?
After all, I am also a member of the Night Emperor. I have only carried out one mission since its establishment. This is somewhat unjustifiable, don’t you think?Rocinante? "
Rosinandi nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "Sir, I understand what you mean. If there are people you want to deal with, there are many, but the person who is most suitable for you now..."
There was a pause, Rosinandi frowned, and after a while he said: "Baobao, ask to be captured alive."
Hearing the name, Skyler frowned and said, "After Charlotte Lingling's accident, the baguette who left the Big Mom Pirates?"
"Yes."
"Who offered the reward?"
"Shichibukai Charlotte Katakuri."
Hearing this, Skyler raised her eyebrows. This answer was a bit beyond her expectation. She thought it would be Longbread's former enemy, but she never expected that it was Katakuri who posted it.
"Instead of going to the underground world to offer a reward, he actually used the power of the Shichibukai to issue a reward to the navy?"
Skyler is still a little confused. After all, the Navy and Morgans have an ambiguous relationship and often exchange information. Therefore, Skyler can directly check the intelligence of the underground world.
But among the information compiled by Nurkic, there was no such thing as a bounty on the baguette.
Hearing this, Rosinandi said: "Katakuri must have found something...Sir, do you know Charlotte Lingling's past?"
Skyler's eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses and he said: "You know, I was entrusted to an orphanage by my parents, and then almost sold to the World Government, and then I was taken to the sea by Long Bread, and became the emperor all the way. "
"Yes, but in this process, there are too many secrets about the World Government. Katakuri is... giving the World Government a face.
After all, no one knows how much of Charlotte Lingling's secrets Long Bread knows. If there is a reward in the underground world, Long Bread will definitely not be sent directly to Katakuri after he is captured.
If someone learns any secrets about Charlotte Lingling from Longbread, or... news about the text of history, this will be a troublesome matter for both Totland and the World Government.
so..."
"That's why Katakuri has not cared about these "defectors" in the past few years, because... once he targets them, he has the value of being targeted on behalf of these people.
On the contrary, his current appearance will reduce the "value" of Baobao in the eyes of other forces, making him less important and no one will pay attention to him? "
Skyler then analyzed Rosinandi's words. Rosinandi nodded and said, "This is my guess. It's just a guess. Maybe it's not the case."
"Did he put bounties on other defectors?"
Skyler asked, and Rosinandi understood what Skyler meant, that is, if Katakuri was really trying to sell face to the World Government, he would just be offering a reward for the baguette.
After all, in Totland, among all the people not named Charlotte, only Longbread is the most special. He guided Charlotte Lingling long before she became the emperor, and even before she went to sea to become a pirate.
He is the most likely person to know the secret of Charlotte Lingling. Putting a reward on the baguette alone is a naked statement to the World Government.
But in fact... Rosinandi shook his head and said: "Only one person has been offered a reward for Baobao."
"Then...if you want the truth, it's much simpler."
Skyler said, under Rosinandi's doubtful eyes, he took out the phone bug and dialed a number directly.
"Bru~Bru~"
In the waters of Totlan, on the Royal Family's envoy ship in Dressrosa, Katakuri glanced at King Riku III who was feeling uncomfortable and said:
"His Majesty Dold III, you can visit as you like and see if Totland is worth investing 30 billion Baileys in its construction. I'll take a call."
King Riku nodded, and after Katakuri turned around, he showed an unlucky look. Before the start of the World Conference, this man came to his country and asked if he needed escort.
At that time, he wanted to give face to the newly promoted Shichibukai and the candidate of the Four Emperors, so he agreed. It was only tens of millions of beli, so there was no need to offend him.
But he never expected that Katakuri would go so far. Wouldn't it be enough to escort him to the Red Earth Continent and then escort him back?
As a result, this Katakuri had a battle with the Hawkeye Mihawk in the waters of Dressrosa and destroyed the pirate ship, forcing him to "take the initiative" to send him back to Tote. orchid.
But... this was just the beginning. After returning to the Totland Sea, Katakuri had no intention of leaving. Instead, he took him to patrol the islands, constantly "proposing" that he would invest and build here.
From 30 million at the beginning, to [-] million, to one billion, and now to [-] billion beli.
Not to mention whether the Dressrosa royal family can afford 30 billion beli, even if it can, King Riku is not willing to spend this wasted money. After all, Katakuri has made it clear that he wants nothing.
On the surface, it can provide space for Dressrosa to build factories and develop industry, but...the ports, streets, and buildings that were destroyed in previous battles all need to be repaired at their own expense.
After Lin Lin finally calculated it, he came up with the figure of 30 billion Baileys.
King Riku really wanted to reject Katakuri severely, and the worst he could do was to break up his face. Katakuri now has a special and sensitive identity, and he didn't dare to really take action against him... But unfortunately, this Katakuri behaved like A polite and decent person.
King Riku wanted to turn the table over several times, but he couldn't find an excuse, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Moreover... Katakuri has been sitting opposite him for more than eight hours from seven o'clock today to now.
At this moment... I was finally leaving. Although it was only temporary, it also made King Riku breathe a sigh of relief.
Katakuri, who had just turned around, frowned. As one of the very few people who could be said to stand at the top of the sea with his domineering appearance, Katakuri naturally sensed King Riku's dissatisfaction.
However, Katakuri couldn't be angry. After all, there were not only pirates in the world, but also countless civilians living here. They were all people whose "rent" was collected by his mother, Charlotte Lingling.
As the acting captain of the Big Mom Pirate Ship, Katakuri feels that he needs to help these people rebuild their homes that were destroyed by the war. This is the commitment that a person should have, but... he has no money.
Katakuri didn't want to take money from these civilians, so investing became his best choice. For this, he was willing to sacrifice all his face.
After walking a little further, Katakuri calmed down his extremely impatient mood before taking out the phone that had been ringing for a long time. He didn't even bother to see who it was and just answered the call.
"It took you so long to answer the phone? I thought you were hacked to death by Mihawk."
Hearing the sound coming from the phone bug, Katakuri lowered his head subconsciously, looked at the two new scars on his torso, and thought about Mihawk's abdomen that was penetrated by the trident in his hand, and said with a smile:
"Mihawk? He is very good. Just like you, he is a madman who dares to do anything to fight."
Thinking of the hearty battle that just ended, Katakuri felt better and asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that Dressrosa and the others secretly reported the news?"
"Dressrosa? What did you do to them?"
Skyler asked in confusion. Rosinandi, who was standing next to her, also frowned. He knew that Katakuri took King Riku away.
But after knowing that King Liku and the envoy arrived at the Red Earth Continent safely, he gradually let go of the matter, but now it sounds like it's not that simple?
On the phone bug side, Katakuri paused for a while and said: "It's nothing, they are very enthusiastic, my ship was destroyed during the battle, and they sent me back.
I then introduced them to the islands of Totland and they are now considering whether to invest. "
Hearing this, Skyler raised his head and glanced at Rocinante. The two looked very similar, both of them disbelieving. Skyler said helplessly: "He is an ally of the World Government, please be careful.
Back to business, baguette, what do you think? "
Hearing Skyler suddenly mention the name of the baguette, Katakuri showed his domineering expression. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he turned around, leaned against the fence and said, "What do you want to know?"
"What do I want to know? Rather, what do you know?"
"He made rubbings of some of my mother's things before he left. I don't want those things to get out."
"No way, Katakuri? Even a gentleman can guard against it? If what he took away was really the rubbing of the historical text, it wouldn't be the Navy's turn to take action, right?
Or do you think I would trust you to let the text of history fall into the hands of a world government? "
Skyler didn't mean it tactfully, and Katakuri frowned. He felt more and more that the outsiders who had joined the Big Mom Pirates before were useless.
To actually make a foolhardy judgment for such a general is simply...
Taking a deep breath, Katakuri didn't bother to hide anymore and said, "He took away some things that I wanted and wanted to know, such as the nun's broken photos and my mother's past."
"It seems that you are serious when you say you want to resurrect Charlotte Lingling? Do you really think that the soul fruit, or something related to the soul, is really the key to resurrecting Charlotte Lingling?"
"Yes, before my mother wakes up, I will keep searching until I die... At least, I can't convince myself until the soul fruit appears again."
Katakuri's tone was very calm, maybe...he didn't think that with these things he could "resurrection" his mother, but he couldn't comfort himself if he didn't do something.
And... he has been telling his younger siblings that their mother is not dead, and that he is still looking for a way to resurrect her. If he even does it himself, how can his younger siblings believe it?
He wanted his younger brothers and sisters to live with a purpose, even if it was just a vague... guess.
"I do have some time recently to help you dig out the loaf, but... I can only guarantee that when I return the loaf to you, he is still alive and still has his memory.
Although I have no desire to learn about those old events, there will always be people who are interested. If he actually makes a rubbing of the historical text, that would be a great achievement for me. "
Seeing that Katakuri no longer concealed anything, Skyler said with a smile. Katakuri was silent for a while and said, "There are still photos."
"Yeah. By the way, give the phone to King Riku."
The mission was confirmed, and Skyler's words changed. Katakuri was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask why, but walked towards King Riku with the phone bug.
When King Riku saw Katakuri approaching, his heart became increasingly painful, but his expression gradually calmed down. This was a required course for being a king.
"His Majesty Dold III, Vice Admiral Schuyler of the Navy Headquarters has something to ask you."
Katakuri placed the phone bug on the table in front of King Riku. King Riku's eyes twitched, and he suddenly wondered if Katakuri would stop if he asked Skyler for help. Already?
However, this idea only lingered for a moment before being abandoned by King Riku, although he hated pirates and even more so the man in front of him.
But... Katakuri did not do anything to force him to do anything. If he was falsely accused, he would not be able to do such a thing.
"Lieutenant General Skyler."
After thousands of thoughts calmed down, King Riku calmly said to Skyler on the other side of the phone. Skyler also greeted him: "Dold III, where have you been to save the country after the war recently?"
King Riku is famous for his kindness in the sea. If there is a war in some countries in the surrounding neutral waters, whether it is a member of the World Government or not, this king will lend a helping hand.
After hearing Skyler's words, King Riku's mouth twitched. With Katakuri around, he was almost losing his freedom. He was the king of the country that joined the World Government!
But King Liku still said: "The World Conference has just ended, and I haven't returned to participate in national affairs. What's wrong? Is there a war happening around me?"
"In the new world of Haiyan and Heqing, where did the war come from?"
Hearing this, the corner of King Liku's mouth twitched again. In the past few years, the new world has become a lot peaceful, but... the word "peace" reversed can never be used to describe the new world.
Skyler was just talking nonsense. After she finished speaking, she suddenly asked: "Dold III, what do you think about the world government opening seats to the joining countries again?"
Skyler changed the topic very abruptly, and King Riku could tell that Skyler was paving the way for the subsequent topic, but... he was indeed interested in this topic, so he said:
“I personally support this issue, and this is not unprecedented. Many countries did not even have a country when the world government was established.
However, some new countries are not willing to submit to the control of the world government, so developing seats for franchised countries is indeed a good thing for these countries. However, this issue does not seem to have been passed at this session, right? "
"It's just shelved. After all, I can't find a country that can enter the membership seat and can set an example for other non-member countries. If there is such a country, I believe that the next world conference will pass it. ."
Skyler adjusted his sunglasses and said. After hearing this, King Liku was silent for a while. He seemed to have thought of something and said: "I do know that there is a country...
It has not joined the World Government, but its people are kind-hearted and has never caused harm to the World Government. However, how to make this country a "model"? "
"It's simple, show your worth."
Hearing this, King Riku resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Good guy, of course he knows that displaying value will attract attention, but... what kind of talent do those people have?Farming?
Farming isn't considered valuable, right? You can't ask them to grow devil fruits, right?If Devil Fruit can really be grown, it will indeed have value.
However, it may be destroyed directly before the world government comes to protect it, not to mention... they can't do that.
The phone bug copied the expression change on King Riku's face very well at that moment. Skyler didn't care, but continued:
"It does not have to be a value that is beneficial to the world government. As long as it is valuable, it is enough. After all, if it is valuable, it will be useful. It is just a matter of timing."
King Liku was a little confused and asked subconsciously: "What about?"
"Ask Katakuri how long it would take to build a new ship."
After Skyler finished speaking, King Riku looked at Katakuri. Katakuri didn't know what riddle the two were playing, but he still said: "Seven months at least, after all, from the Capital of Seven Waters to here, Use safe channels, at least three and a half months."
Katakuri said, and Skyler smiled and said: "That's almost half the time. If there is a shipyard in the New World that is not as bad as those in the Seven Waters Capital, which shipyard do you think these pirates will choose? "
After finishing speaking, King Liku became quiet, and Skyler said straight to the point: "I remember that what the Yonggmi people are best at is planting, right? If there are enough raw material resources, the difficulty of running a shipyard will be greatly reduced.
It’s just... that every inch of land in the new world is precious, and they are all competing with each other..."
Katakuri finally reacted at this time. Skyler had already put the food to his mouth. He looked at King Riku who had begun to think about it and said:
"Your Majesty Dold III, these days, you should have seen the size of Totland Island. With a little renovation, even with good forest products, many shipyards can be built."
"Forehead..."
Different from the perfunctory talk about business cooperation with Katakuri before, King Riku really started to think about it now. If those Dontata people grow trees of sufficient quality, then the raw materials will indeed be solved.
With the inventory of Dressrosa, there should be no problem in supporting the Dontata people for a few years, and with the planting skills of the Dontata people, maybe the trees will grow faster.
As for the employees and shipbuilders... If they can't, they can go to the Seven Rivers City to dig some. After all, the Seven Waters City has recently consolidated the shipyards and plans to build it into a company, which makes many shipbuilders dissatisfied.
And... King Riku looked up at Katakuri. If Katakuri was in charge, the safety of the shipyard would indeed be improved a lot, even safer than the Seven Waters City.
But, does he really want to put aside his dignity and cooperate with a pirate?
Katakuri saw that King Riku had not answered. Although he was eager, he did not speak. After all, this must at least be cooperation, not unilateral coercion or rescue.
"Lieutenant General Skyler, Katakuri, I need to return home to discuss this matter with the minister."
King Riku still couldn't decide on the spot. Katakuri frowned, and just as he was about to say something, Skyler spoke first: "Katakuri, escort Dold III back to the country, and let him cooperate with Talk to a third party.”
"Thank you, Lieutenant General Skyler, for your understanding."
King Riku breathed a sigh of relief. If Skyler and Katakuri "hinted" him at the same time, it would be really hard for him to refuse, but Skyler took the initiative to back down.
Katakuri also took a deep breath and said to King Riku: "His Royal Highness Dold III, I will go back to Cake Island first, and then escort you back to Dressrosa, how about that?"
King Riku looked at Katakuri. This time, he finally took the initiative and said, "Then I'll help you."
"Then I won't bother you, Dold III. Once you confirm it, we may be able to discuss the order."
After Skyler finished speaking, he also hung up the phone. King Liku looked at the phone bug who had closed his eyes and suddenly became interested.
An order from the Navy?
At this time, other members of the cabin also came out one after another. In fact, when they gathered at Marineland Harbor in the morning, they knew that their vacation would come next.
Because in the past, if they set sail with a mission, Nurkic would definitely explain it to them in advance. This is Nurkic's habit. It also prepares the team to avoid any unexpected situations that may lead to mission errors.
And since Nurkic didn't say anything today, it means that there is no mission, and there is no need to wait in the warship. After leaving the branch residence for half a month, it is almost time to go back and clean up.

Although Luo is a member of the Zhanye Detachment, he is actually Luo Nandi's assistant, and Luo Nandi has no actual affiliation with the Zhanye Detachment, so he habitually maintains a little difference from the Zhanye Detachment.
Guina had already left the warship and stood on the port of the G-5 branch. Looking at the G-5 branch building and other buildings with similar architectural styles, she quickly lost interest and turned to look above the warship.
Skyler on the deck waved to Rosinandi and Luo, and the two walked quickly towards Skyler. When they came close, they saluted and said at the same time: "Sir!"
Skyler nodded, then waved and said, "Let's talk about something."
Rosinandi nodded and looked at Luo. Luo raised his hand slightly, and the invisible room stance was activated, but Skyler raised her eyebrows. She clearly felt the hearing loss for a moment. .

Hearing the name, Skyler frowned and said, "After Charlotte Lingling's accident, the baguette who left the Big Mom Pirates?"
"Yes."
"Who offered the reward?"
"Shichibukai Charlotte Katakuri."
Hearing this, Skyler raised her eyebrows. This answer was a bit beyond her expectation. She thought it would be Longbread's former enemy, but she never expected that it was Katakuri who posted it.
"Instead of going to the underground world to offer a reward, he actually used the power of the Shichibukai to issue a reward to the navy?"

"Bru~Bru~"
In the waters of Totlan, on the Royal Family's envoy ship in Dressrosa, Katakuri glanced at King Riku III who was feeling uncomfortable and said:
"His Majesty Dold III, you can visit as you like and see if Totland is worth investing 30 billion Baileys in its construction. I'll take a call."
King Riku nodded, and after Katakuri turned around, he showed an unlucky look. Before the start of the World Conference, this man came to his country and asked if he needed escort.

Taking a deep breath, Katakuri didn't bother to hide anymore and said, "He took away some things that I wanted and wanted to know, such as the nun's broken photos and my mother's past."
"It seems that you are serious when you say you want to resurrect Charlotte Lingling? Do you really think that the soul fruit, or something related to the soul, is really the key to resurrecting Charlotte Lingling?"
"Yes, before my mother wakes up, I will keep searching until I die... At least, I can't convince myself until the soul fruit appears again."
Katakuri's tone was very calm, maybe...he didn't think that with these things he could "resurrection" his mother, but he couldn't comfort himself if he didn't do something.
And... he has been telling his younger siblings that their mother is not dead, and that he is still looking for a way to resurrect her. If he even does it himself, how can his younger siblings believe it?
He wanted his younger brothers and sisters to live with a purpose, even if it was just a vague... guess.
"I do have some time recently to help you dig out the loaf, but... I can only guarantee that when I return the loaf to you, he is still alive and still has his memory.
Although I have no desire to learn about those old events, there will always be people who are interested. If he actually makes a rubbing of the historical text, that would be a great achievement for me. "
Seeing that Katakuri no longer concealed anything, Skyler said with a smile. Katakuri was silent for a while and said, "There are still photos."
"Yeah. By the way, give the phone to King Riku."
The mission was confirmed, and Skyler's words changed. Katakuri was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask why, but walked towards King Riku with the phone bug.
When King Riku saw Katakuri approaching, his heart became increasingly painful, but his expression gradually calmed down. This was a required course for being a king.
"His Majesty Dold III, Vice Admiral Schuyler of the Navy Headquarters has something to ask you."
Katakuri placed the phone bug on the table in front of King Riku. King Riku's eyes twitched, and he suddenly wondered if Katakuri would stop if he asked Skyler for help. Already?
However, this idea only lingered for a moment before being abandoned by King Riku, although he hated pirates and even more so the man in front of him.
But... Katakuri did not do anything to force him to do anything. If he was falsely accused, he would not be able to do such a thing.
"Lieutenant General Skyler."
After thousands of thoughts calmed down, King Riku calmly said to Skyler on the other side of the phone. Skyler also greeted him: "Dold III, where have you been to save the country after the war recently?"
King Riku is famous for his kindness in the sea. If there is a war in some countries in the surrounding neutral waters, whether it is a member of the World Government or not, this king will lend a helping hand.
After hearing Skyler's words, King Riku's mouth twitched. With Katakuri around, he was almost losing his freedom. He was the king of the country that joined the World Government!
But King Liku still said: "The World Conference has just ended, and I haven't returned to participate in national affairs. What's wrong? Is there a war happening around me?"
"In the new world of Haiyan and Heqing, where did the war come from?"
Hearing this, the corner of King Liku's mouth twitched again. In the past few years, the new world has become a lot peaceful, but... the word "peace" reversed can never be used to describe the new world.
Skyler was just talking nonsense. After she finished speaking, she suddenly asked: "Dold III, what do you think about the world government opening seats to the joining countries again?"
Skyler changed the topic very abruptly, and King Riku could tell that Skyler was paving the way for the subsequent topic, but... he was indeed interested in this topic, so he said:
“I personally support this issue, and this is not unprecedented. Many countries did not even have a country when the world government was established.
However, some new countries are not willing to submit to the control of the world government, so developing seats for franchised countries is indeed a good thing for these countries. However, this issue does not seem to have been passed at this session, right? "
"It's just shelved. After all, I can't find a country that can enter the membership seat and can set an example for other non-member countries. If there is such a country, I believe that the next world conference will pass it. ."
Skyler adjusted his sunglasses and said. After hearing this, King Liku was silent for a while. He seemed to have thought of something and said: "I do know that there is a country...
It has not joined the World Government, but its people are kind-hearted and has never caused harm to the World Government. However, how to make this country a "model"? "
"It's simple, show your worth."
Hearing this, King Riku resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Good guy, of course he knows that displaying value will attract attention, but... what kind of talent do those people have?Farming?
Farming isn't considered valuable, right? You can't ask them to grow devil fruits, right?If Devil Fruit can really be grown, it will indeed have value.
However, it may be destroyed directly before the world government comes to protect it, not to mention... they can't do that.
The phone bug copied the expression change on King Riku's face very well at that moment. Skyler didn't care, but continued:
"It does not have to be a value that is beneficial to the world government. As long as it is valuable, it is enough. After all, if it is valuable, it will be useful. It is just a matter of timing."
King Liku was a little confused and asked subconsciously: "What about?"
"Ask Katakuri how long it would take to build a new ship."
After Skyler finished speaking, King Riku looked at Katakuri. Katakuri didn't know what riddle the two were playing, but he still said: "Seven months at least, after all, from the Capital of Seven Waters to here, Use safe channels, at least three and a half months."
Katakuri said, and Skyler smiled and said: "That's almost half the time. If there is a shipyard in the New World that is not as bad as those in the Seven Waters Capital, which shipyard do you think these pirates will choose? "
After finishing speaking, King Liku became quiet, and Skyler said straight to the point: "I remember that what the Yonggmi people are best at is planting, right? If there are enough raw material resources, the difficulty of running a shipyard will be greatly reduced.
It’s just... that every inch of land in the new world is precious, and they are all competing with each other..."
Katakuri finally reacted at this time. Skyler had already put the food to his mouth. He looked at King Riku who had begun to think about it and said:
"Your Majesty Dold III, these days, you should have seen the size of Totland Island. With a little renovation, even with good forest products, many shipyards can be built."
"Forehead..."
Different from the perfunctory talk about business cooperation with Katakuri before, King Riku really started to think about it now. If those Dontata people grow trees of sufficient quality, then the raw materials will indeed be solved.
With the inventory of Dressrosa, there should be no problem in supporting the Dontata people for a few years, and with the planting skills of the Dontata people, maybe the trees will grow faster.
As for the employees and shipbuilders... If they can't, they can go to the Seven Rivers City to dig some. After all, the Seven Waters City has recently consolidated the shipyards and plans to build it into a company, which makes many shipbuilders dissatisfied.
And... King Riku looked up at Katakuri. If Katakuri was in charge, the safety of the shipyard would indeed be improved a lot, even safer than the Seven Waters City.
But, does he really want to put aside his dignity and cooperate with a pirate?
Katakuri saw that King Riku had not answered. Although he was eager, he did not speak. After all, this must at least be cooperation, not unilateral coercion or rescue.
"Lieutenant General Skyler, Katakuri, I need to return home to discuss this matter with the minister."
King Riku still couldn't decide on the spot. Katakuri frowned, and just as he was about to say something, Skyler spoke first: "Katakuri, escort Dold III back to the country, and let him cooperate with Talk to a third party.”
"Thank you, Lieutenant General Skyler, for your understanding."
King Riku breathed a sigh of relief. If Skyler and Katakuri "hinted" him at the same time, it would be really hard for him to refuse, but Skyler took the initiative to back down.
Katakuri also took a deep breath and said to King Riku: "His Royal Highness Dold III, I will go back to Cake Island first, and then escort you back to Dressrosa, how about that?"
King Riku looked at Katakuri. This time, he finally took the initiative and said, "Then I'll help you."
"Then I won't bother you, Dold III. Once you confirm it, we may be able to discuss the order."
After Skyler finished speaking, he also hung up the phone. King Liku looked at the phone bug who had closed his eyes and suddenly became interested.
An order from the Navy?
