From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Of course, in order to avoid suspicion in the future, Xia Jieren also needs to let the insect people from other places join different branches, so as to gradually infiltrate the various branches of the navy and even the headquarters.

This is a very long process.

Xia Jieren has the patience to achieve his goals step by step.

When you don't have the ability, don't jump around too much.

After all, not everyone is a child of destiny like Monkey D. Luffy, who has a good background and luck.

If an ordinary person dares to play like him, he will definitely be killed without leaving any trace.

Just like Eustace Kidd, a pirate of the same period as Luffy.

Compared with Luffy, he is also a devil fruit user, and the potential of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit is also very great.

The pirate group also follows the elite route and also has a powerful vice-captain, but he is more ambitious and resourceful.

But look at what happened to him.

Without any background or destiny, he challenged the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks, but was defeated and lost his left arm, becoming a disabled person.

In comparison, Luffy challenged the Four Emperors Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin. Although he encountered some setbacks, he became famous in the end and once again made the front page of the newspaper, attracting countless attention.

He also challenged the Four Emperors Kaido, but both were knocked unconscious by a stick and thrown into Udon Prison.

But their situations were completely different. Eustace Kidd's deputy captain Kira became a test subject of "SMILE", and his other companions were missing.

Luffy's companions were all intact and even had some opportunities, which won him a lot of people's hearts again.

Invisibly, his power and influence were raised to a higher level again, laying a solid foundation for his future path to becoming the Pirate King.

Thinking of this, Xia Jieren couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! The world is so unfair."

"But fortunately, I am also a beneficiary." He felt much more balanced in his heart.

......

For several days, Xia Jieren was in a good mood until a piece of news arrived.

Three days later, the fleet that collects the heavenly gold will arrive at the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Before that, the Kingdom of the Netherlands needs to prepare this year's heavenly gold.

600 billion Beli or equivalent gold and silver treasures, or devil fruits, specialties, tributes and other valuable things.

Upon hearing this news, Xia Jieren's good mood instantly disappeared. He frowned and felt very unhappy: "Grass (a kind of plant). Damn pigs, they actually want me to offer them tribute."

Xia Jieren felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought about having to hand over 600 billion yuan of the money he had worked so hard to earn.

"Or, just kill them and withdraw from the membership of the World Government." A crazy idea came to Xia Jieren's mind.

The next moment, he shook his head violently to get rid of the thought.

"Alas! Although I really want to do this, my reason does not allow me to act recklessly and act completely based on my own preferences."

Xia Jieren sighed softly.

After withdrawing from the membership of the World Government, Xia Jieren will feel good for a while.

But this approach ultimately has more advantages than disadvantages.

Without the protection of the World Government, countless jackals and tigers who covet the interests of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will pounce directly on it.

"Just think of it as protection money," Xia Jieren consoled himself, but in his heart he was thinking, "One day, I will get back double what I lost."

After making the decision, Xia Jieren found Litte and prepared to have a conversation with her.

"Lite, you have received the news of the confiscation of Tianshangjin."

Xia Jieren went straight to the point.

"Yeah!" Litte nodded her head lightly and said with a thankful look, "This time it's all thanks to Lord Jerren, otherwise the Netherlands Kingdom would be in ruins again."

The butler beside him, Gulanqi Kiel, also nodded in agreement.

Litt made a good point.

If Xia Jieren had not tried every possible means to get money, the Kingdom of the Netherlands would really not have been able to collect all the heavenly gold in such a short time.

But they will not be removed from the list of member states, and those princes and nobles will definitely try every means to squeeze more Pele from the people.

Part of it was put into his own pocket, and part of it was handed over to the gold in heaven.

The only consequence of doing so was that more citizens rose up in rebellion and the rebel army grew rapidly.

By then, due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will suffer heavy casualties and be severely damaged. It is very likely that it will slide from a medium-sized country to a small country.

Even if you collect enough heavenly gold for this year, it will be difficult to collect enough heavenly gold for the next few years.

One day, they will be removed from the list of member states.

There are many smart people among the nobles who know the pros and cons of doing so.

But so what.

When everyone is trying to squeeze money out of the people, you don't do it.

Then you will become an outlier, and will be rejected and resisted by everyone, and finally even be devoured by them all.

"What does the destruction of the country have to do with me? At worst, I can take the treasure and go to another country to become a noble."

This is what the nobles really think.

So at this moment, Litt was very glad that all the nobles had been cleared out. There were finally no stumbling blocks within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and she could develop outward with peace of mind.

"Alas! It's a pity that our Kingdom of the Netherlands doesn't have any special products that can be used as tribute." Litte suddenly sighed: "If we had, we would only need to pay a small amount of Heavenly Gold and a large amount of special products."

"A speciality..." Xia Jieren pondered.

Speaking of specialties, he thought of the famous specialty of the Kingdom of Flefans in the North Sea - amber lead.

Amber lead can not only be used to produce tableware, paints, sweeteners, cosmetics, but even to make "weapons".

High-quality amber-lead products have many buyers around the world.

However, this platinum lead will contain trace amounts of toxins that enter the human body during the mining process.

If this toxin continues to accumulate in a person's body, the lifespan of his descendants will gradually shorten.

The skin and hair of their descendants became whiter and whiter, and they finally died in great pain.

The "White Town" Frevans is a complete tragedy. The royal family and the world government have long known about the dangers of platinum-lead mines, but they have kept it secret for the huge wealth brought by the platinum-lead mines.

Until the emergence of platinum-lead disease, people began to die one after another.

Seeing that they could no longer conceal the truth, the World Government immediately spread a rumor: "Platinum-lead disease is an infectious disease."

Afterwards, he instigated the countries surrounding the Kingdom of Frevans to attack it and ruthlessly killed almost all the citizens of Frevans.

In the end, only the lucky but unfortunate Trafalgar Law and the royal family who abandoned their people survived.

"Money can move people's hearts!" Xia Jieren sighed and shook his head.

"What?" Litte looked at Xia Jieren who was sighing in confusion.

"Nothing. I just remembered the Kingdom of Frefans in the North Sea."

Xia Jieren explained.

"The Kingdom of Frevans, the country that produces platinum and lead?" Litt asked curiously.

"Yes!" Xia Jieren nodded gently, "Platinum lead is a very valuable specialty, isn't it?"
