Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"Brother Katakuri, there is a strange unregistered pirate ship coming over there."

At the port of Cake Island, Katakuri, who was seeing off guests, heard what his sister Smoothie said, raised his head and looked in the direction Smoothie pointed, and then looked behind him.

Behind him, Bucky was also acting like a master. He was chatting with the guests who were about to leave the cake island, talking about non-nutritious cliches about coming back when he had time and having the opportunity to cooperate.

Perhaps noticing Katakuri's gaze, Bucky stopped after saying goodbye to a guest. His tall and hollow body also walked towards Katakuri's direction and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Krokdal is here, he should be looking for you."

Katakuri spoke calmly, but the moment he finished speaking, the facial features of Senryo Dao Baki shifted, as if he had heard the most unacceptable news.

Katakuri looked at the wonderful expression on his face, smiled, and said, "I'm very curious. When you refused the money provided by Shanks, and I refused the loan, what channels did you rely on to get it?" The money to open Bucky Express?”

Although it was a question, Katakuri's incomprehensible expression clearly meant that he already knew the truth of the matter. After all, the money required to establish Bucky Express was not a small amount.

During the war, Bucky recruited a large number of fugitives from Impel Down, saying that he would establish a force powerful enough to influence the world and earn enough money for him.

The red-haired man naturally chose to support his friend and offered to inject money, but Bucky refused Shanks without hesitation. After all, this made him feel very humiliated.

The red-haired man was indeed a man known for his dominance and magnanimity. He was not angry with Bucky because of this. Instead, he withdrew the idea of ​​investing and instead offered to rent Bucky a piece of land.

That leased land is located in the waters controlled by the Red-haired Pirates, and is called Kalai Bali. Bucky also chose to express gratitude. With the relationship between the Red-haired Pirates, no one really Dare to cause trouble for Bucky.

After all, Bucky has always been hiding in the red-haired pirates' waters. In the past two years, the red-haired pirates have been uncharacteristically stationed in their own waters for a long time and have not wandered around like before.

This was an important opportunity for the development of Bucky Express. With people and land, Bucky only needed a start-up capital. For this capital, Bucky contacted Katakuri more than once.

After all, there are only three kings of the sea now, Bucky has rejected Shanks, and Kaido clearly can't afford the money, so Bucky can only pay attention to Katakuri.

Katakuri, who owns the Totland Shipyard, is said to have the largest deposits in the New World. Even the navy headquarters stationed at the beginning of the new world may not have as much cash reserves as Katakuri.

Katakuri is naturally capable of investing in Bucky, and even after taking out the money, Totland will not be too embarrassed. After all, they are deposits, not working capital.

But Katakuri just couldn't like the clown in front of him, so he rejected Bucky's application for reception without hesitation. However, Bucky still established Bucky Express.

Initially Katakuri didn't care, but with the rapid development of Bucky Express, Katakuri had to pay attention. By the way, Bucky's source of funds at the time was also missing.

During that time, Crocodile had just returned to the sea, and had visited the four seas, the first half of the Great Channel, and the places where he had developed his power.

With a simple guess, you can understand what Crocodile did. It was nothing more than to get back the results of his hard work in the past 20 years. Although the 20 years of hard work ultimately failed, he also managed many fields.

And this amount of money is indeed enough to establish Bucky Express. After all, when there is no shortage of people, land, and markets, as long as Bucky takes the first step, orders will continue to flow, and it does not require too much money. .

Of course, this doesn't require much. From Katakuri's point of view, if it were anyone else... it would even be enough to reward a Sea Emperor.

Crocodile at that time was just in line, and even had a lot of surplus. After all, Crocodile after the war seemed to have done nothing, but it had already laid out a lot.

For example, her former intelligence resources were integrated by the Revolutionary Army. Recently, it was reported that Crocodile chose to co-organize a pirate expo with her former "mortal enemy" Barrett.

And investing in Bucky, a project that seems to have extremely high returns today, is also very similar to what Crocodile would do.

But Bucky Express...is not called Bucky Crocodile United Express. Crocodile did not participate in the stock. In other words, she most likely loaned Bucky a sum of money.

Loans... need to be repaid.

Although they didn't have many interactions with each other, Katakuri always felt that Bucky was an unreliable person. If he lent money to him, he would come to ask for the debt from time to time.

But his base camp was within the territory of the Red-haired Pirates. Looking back now, Katakuri even thought that if Shanks didn't wander around for two years, he might be escorting Bucky's development.

During this period of time, Crocodile was active at the junction of the Red-haired Sea and the Sea of ​​Beasts, and the reason why she didn't go to Bucky was probably because Shanks was there.

Therefore, Katakuri still feels quite lucky. Although he is not afraid of Shanks, he does not want to cause any conflicts with Shanks for some Bailey.

But Katakuri was unwilling to give up even a pele that belonged to him, so if he lent money to Bucky, he would definitely come to ask for it.

Therefore, not lending money to Bucky was the best result. He did not need to enter the red-haired sea to cause trouble for Bucky, and he would not lose even a pele.

If Bucky continues to hide in the waters of the Red-haired Pirates, his creditors may only be able to watch him helplessly and not take practical measures. But Bucky, this idiot, chose to leave Bali and left. Red hair sea.

What made Katakuri think Bucky was even more stupid was that he had no intention of hiding his whereabouts, and even published some of what happened on Cake Island on his scratch-made Bucky News Studio.

This not only exposed his whereabouts, but also caused a wave of hatred from his creditors.

Katakuri would be furious if he even put himself in Baki's creditor's shoes.

Think about it, you have saved a sum of money, whether it is trust or investment, and you have lent this money to someone.

But when the deadline came, the person who owed him money not only refused to pay back the money, but also used the money that should have been paid back to him to buy some new luxuries.

For Bucky, this new luxury is his newly founded Bucky News Studio.

If Crocodile was really Bucky's creditor, he would have been so angry that he wanted to kill Bucky.

And Bucky looked at the pirate ship that had grown from small to large in the distance. Under the wide and hollow clothes, the "short" and thin body was constantly trembling.

Because he recalled that Crocodile came to him to collect debts, but was blocked by the red-haired pirates and said harsh words to him.

That rich woman told herself bluntly that she had the ability to live in Shanks' shadow her whole life, otherwise she would slice herself into ham and eat it in the sea.

However, both Bucky Express and Bucky News Studio have been too busy recently. In addition, Bucky has never been a person good at memory, so... he forgot about Crocodile's threat. .

Not only did he boldly leave the waters controlled by the red-haired pirates, he even published his participation in the Totland tea party as news in his own newspaper.

Bucky didn't know what Crocodile was thinking at this time, but if the roles were reversed, he would let the man who owed money know what cruelty was.

After "comparing one's feelings with one's own", Bucky only had one thought at this time, and that was to run away quickly!

"boom!"

But at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise. Katakuri spread his hands and said, "Bucky, your ship seems to be broken down."

Bucky, who was about to run away, heard this and looked at his ship. He saw that there was suddenly a hole in the bow of his ship. Although it was above the water line, it could not sail.

Not to mention the potential safety hazards after the hull is damaged, but during the driving process, the washed waves will continue to pour into his ship, making it difficult for him to move.

Bucky's red nose was almost green with anger. He pointed at Katakuri and was about to curse, but he thought of something and quickly held back his anger. He looked at Katakuri with tears in his eyes. said:

"Brother Katakuri, please do me a favor and lend me one billion beli?"

Katakuri asked with a smile: "One billion Baileys? You only owe Crocodile that much?"

One billion beli is indeed a lot. When Katakuri rebuilt the nations, the starting capital was only the 20 billion beli given to him by Whitebeard. However, the Ryugu Kingdom built a bridge across the sea between the Windless Zone and the New World, and the initial investment was Only 20 billion Baileys.

One billion Baileys is enough to do a lot of things, but... it definitely does not include establishing a huge organization like Bucky Express that radiates across six sea areas.

After hearing Katakuri's question, Bucky also became nervous, and then said: "First... pay the interest first."

"The interest on one billion Baileys...I'll consider it."

Katakuri did not refuse immediately, but looked in the direction of the pirate ship, but there was no trace of thinking on his face, which made Bucky anxious.

After all, he has no money now. After Crocodile comes, he has no way to deal with it. If Katakuri's billion beli and his reputation are guaranteed, then maybe he can delay it for a while.

But Katakuri made it clear that he just wanted to watch the show, so even if he didn't refuse, in this case, if he didn't agree immediately, he would be "killing" Bucky!

Bucky quickly took two steps closer to Katakuri. His originally tall figure had shrunk a bit now. His head, which was originally the same height as Katakuri, was now directly bigger than Katakuri. He said pitifully:

"Brother Katakuri, you are also a businessman. You should know how difficult it is to run a business. My younger brother is still in its infancy and has to burn money everywhere.

I will repay this billion Baileys in full and give you...3% of the shares as dividends!As long as I turn around, your investment will make a huge profit. "

Katakuri turned his head and looked at Bucky, who still had tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "One billion Baileys, I don't want interest, and I don't need you to return it..."

Hearing this, Bucky's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he wanted to hug Katakuri and kiss him twice. This was simply his rebirth...

But before Bucky could express his gratitude, Katakuri continued: "I want 20% of the shares of all companies under your name, including your current company and the companies you will establish in the future.

Remember, it’s 20% of the shares, not some bullshit share dividend. "

"???!

! ”

Bucky's gratitude towards Katakuri disappeared in an instant. Where was Katakuri's help?It's obviously a robbery!No, even if it is robbery, it will only take away everything you have.

But Katakuri is even more greedy. He wants not only what Bucky has now, but also what he may have in the future. Katakuri wants to directly plunder it. This is really... too much!

"Don't want to? If you don't want to, forget it."

Seeing the change in Bucky's face, Katakuri was not anxious, but shrugged and withdrew his proposal, as if he was just joking.

"Two percent!"

Bucky quickly said that his offer was not even as good as before, but...share dividends were worthless empty checks, but the shares were real.

For things like stock dividends, as long as the company does not make any money, there is no need to pay dividends and it can be manipulated.But shares may affect the development of a company. Each share is precious and its value is much higher.

Therefore, [-]% of the stock dividends are definitely much higher than those of [-]% of the stocks before. With the current scale of Bucky Express, it can not only close the [-]% gap, but also close the gap in the future. There is also a high probability of one billion Baileys.

It can be said that this is a quite reasonable offer.

But... Katakuri never accepted such a reasonable offer. He glanced at Bucky, and then continued to look at the increasingly approaching pirate ship without speaking again.

Bucky gritted his teeth and said, "5.00%."

Katakuri did not answer, looking at the pirate ship that had even entered his attack range, and continued to wait calmly.

Bucky's forehead was sweating, and he kept scolding Katakuri's greed in his heart. 5.00% of the shares were enough for Katakuri to make a lot of money, but he still refused to agree.

Bucky had never seen such a greedy person before. Looking at the rich woman standing on the bow of the boat in the distance on the sea, Bucky stamped his foot and said, "Ten percent!"

"30.00% five, otherwise no discussion."

Katakuri finally made a counteroffer, but the almost doubled asking price almost gave Bucky a cerebral hemorrhage. He was absolutely unwilling to accept even 20.00%, so how could he give Katakuri more than a third of his net worth? chestnut?

Not to mention the Baki News Studio, which has not yet developed, and a series of enterprises that may support it in the future, just take Baki Express alone, with a 30.00% stake of five, which is worth many billions of dollars!

If this money is given to Katakuri, he might as well give the same amount of shares to Crocodile directly. Let alone one billion, it is more than enough to wipe out all the debts!

Seeing that Bucky refused to agree, Katakuri shook his head indifferently. After all... he didn't insist on Bucky's shares. Totland's money was already too much to spend.

He just wanted to tease Bucky. After all, during these days, he was domineering on Cake Island and acted like a master. Katakuri was too lazy to fall out with him because of this matter, but it didn't mean that he was stuck. Takuri likes to see people showing off their power in front of him.

All Katakuri wanted was for Bucky to make a fool of himself at this moment.

At this time, the pirate ship Crocodile was on had also docked. Crocodile, standing on the badly damaged bow statue, met Katakuri on the port. He raised his head.

Crocodile smiled, took the cigar away from his mouth, and a clear voice came from his mouth.

"Katakuri! You would rather send an invitation to Bucky, the clown, than invite me?!"

Katakuri shook his head and said: "You misunderstood, I did not invite Bucky. As for you... I don't think any of my brothers can control a woman who has been a man for more than [-] years."

Everyone knew that this tea party was a large-scale blind date, and Katakuri didn't mind pointing it out, and also ridiculed Crocodile.

But Crocodile was not angry. With a charming smile on his face, he asked: "Is your brother so weak?"

"..."

Katakuri heard something in Crocodile's words, but... it was too vulgar!

He glanced sideways at the younger sisters who were talking to the guests and saw that they didn't understand. He was relieved in his heart. He didn't want to raise younger sisters who understood instantly.

"Tell me why you came here."

Katakuri abruptly changed the subject, unwilling to continue talking about such a vulgar topic. Crocodile seemed to mutter "weak" and then jumped off the pirate ship.

Countless quicksands surged up in the port instantly, supporting the falling Crocodile, and then sent her to the port. Crocodile, who fell on the port, looked at the shivering Bucky next to Katakuri and said:

"I'm here to see Bucky. He owes me a lot of money. By the way, I want to do some business."

"Bucky is not from Totland. His affairs should not be handled in my Totland territory. As for business..."

Katakuri looked at the broken ship Crocodile was riding on and said, "You don't look like someone who has no money to buy a ship. I have the best ships here and you are welcome to purchase them at any time."

"You have become a snobbish businessman, Katakuri, but I don't intend to spend money to buy a boat from you."

After Crocodile finished speaking, Katakuri withdrew his gaze and said: "The only business I am currently doing with the outside world is the sale, repair and customization of ships. If it has nothing to do with these businesses, then please leave."

When Crocodile finished speaking, Bucky showed a look of gratitude before Crocodile could answer. Although Katakuri didn't pay to help him, he didn't let Crocodile act presumptuously.

Crocodile was not allowed to attack Bucky in Totland, and he took the initiative to let Crocodile leave. This behavior undoubtedly helped Bucky escape the siege.

Bucky even secretly repented in his heart, repenting that he had just scolded Katakuri in his heart for what he did. He was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart!

Crocodile was not angry either. Before arriving, she knew that it would be impossible to collect Bucky's debt in front of Katakuri. This time, it was just to restrict Bucky's actions at any time.

The real reason for her coming here was the business she just mentioned.

Crocodile smiled and asked, "Mihawk hasn't left yet, has he?"

Katakuri nodded. Mihawk has indeed not left yet. After all, he has not told Mihawk the information about Moria, and Mihawk is not in a hurry.

Mihawk was not in a hurry, and Katakuri was even less anxious. After all, the longer Mihawk stayed in Totland, the more likely he would be able to see eye to eye with one of his sisters.

Seeing that Katakuri confirmed that Mihawk had not left, Crocodile said: "Let's have a talk with the Shichibukai. Now it is necessary for you to listen to the business I want to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Katakuri showed an appropriate expression of doubt. He was just wondering whether Crocodile was here for the Pirate Expo, but now it seems that he is not.

"Well...I won't participate. I'm going back to take care of business."

Bucky quickly shook his head, saying that he didn't want to get involved in this so-called business. Crocodile looked at him and said, "I forgot that you are also the King of the Shichibukai.

However, since you have said so, then don't leave. If you want to leave, then I can settle the debt with you and then come back to discuss business. "

After Crocodile finished speaking, Bucky's brows jumped and he quickly looked at Katakuri with pleading eyes, but Katakuri had no intention of helping him. Instead, he looked at Crocodile and asked:

"What's the content?"

Crocodile raised his eyebrows and had no intention of explaining it now. Seeing this, Katakuri pondered for a while and looked at Perospero who was saying goodbye to the guests in the distance.

Perospero noticed Katakuri's gaze, and after talking to the guests for a few words, he walked over. Katakuri said: "Brother, I'll leave the affairs here to you."

"Well, go get busy."

Perospero nodded with a bright smile on his face. Apparently the tea party that had just ended put him in a good mood. Katakuri looked at Bucky and Crocodile's ship and said:

"Sending damaged boats in for repairs and if there are damaged boats sailing away from Totland then it's damaging to our brand."

Perospero continued to nod and said, "Leave it to me."

Crocodile frowned. Katakuri's words were nice, but he had seized her vehicle, but...compared to business, this was nothing.

After explaining, Katakuri also led the way back to the center of Cake Island and came to a candy house. The waiter had already called Mihawk and Cavendish.

"Can you talk now?"

After Katakuri sat down, he looked at Crocodile. Crocodile nodded and said, "I received information that after the World Conference, the Shichibukai system will be abolished, and all of you will become wanted criminals again."

Hearing this, Katakuri looked indifferent, but Mihawk frowned. After all, he had promised a good friend that their friendship would only last until the day when he was offered a bounty.

"What do you want to say?"

Mihawk asked with a frown. Crocodile stretched out his hand to fiddle with the candy bowl on the table in front of him and said: "Instead of waiting to be wanted, it is better to cooperate with my "senior" and unite other forces. To build an organization strong enough to stand up to the world government.”

Hearing this, even Katakuri became interested, nodded and said, "What kind of forces do they have?"

Crocodile stood up, holding a few candies in his hand. He raised his hand slightly, and a candy was thrown out and landed on the table with horizontal and vertical stripes in front of him. He said: "First of all, I and the frontline representatives of all of you represent The King is under the Shichibukai."

"Da~"

Another candy fell, and Crocodile continued: "There are also the revolutionary army who have been against the World Government for many years, and have cooperated with me many times recently."

"Da~"

"And then there's the Navy, which is about to break with the World Government."

"Da~"

The fourth candy fell, and Crocodile said: "Finally, there is the notorious CP organization, but it is the one that buries the world government the most."

Katakuri looked at the candies corresponding to the four corners on the table and said, "His Majesty the Shichibukai and the Revolutionary Army are easy to talk about, but the Navy...CP, don't you think this is outrageous?"

"So among the four forces, we need someone who is capable enough to contact all parties. I believe everyone is familiar with this person."

Crocodile leaned forward, placed the last candy in the center of the four candies, and said, "Skyler Grey. I have already thought of a name for this newly created organization, so why not call it... Guild of the Cross.”

After the words fell, no one answered. Everyone was staring at the table, looking at the five candies and the... cross connected by the striped table below.
