From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

The Light Pirates, like the sword of Damocles, hang over the heads of the member states of the West Sea, constantly reminding them not to forget to pay the Heavenly Gold, otherwise their lives will be in danger.

The allied nations are very troubled by the existence of pirates who have no fixed place to stay and are always wandering on the sea.

In the confrontation with the navy, Wright gradually tested the navy's bottom line.

Non-member states and other forces can rob as they please, but member states will be fine as long as they don't rob the person in power and the forces under his command.

After figuring out these rules, Wright began to have a tacit understanding with the navy and lived a very comfortable life.

The entire Light Pirates group is well-funded and holds banquets constantly.

Whenever he sobered up, Wright had the confidence to shout, "Keep playing the music, keep dancing."

......

Fantasy Moon Island.

Huanyue Island looks like a crescent as a whole. At night, fog appears around the island from time to time, and it looks like a dream under the moonlight, hence the name Huanyue.

It lies between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Flowers, and is adjacent to the Kingdom of Flowers.

The people in power on the island are a mafia family - the Tsuda family.

The Tsuda family controlled Huanyue Island for nearly a hundred years, so its history is quite long.

The current leader of the Tsuda family is the third generation head of the family - Tsuda Shintaro.

He has both ambition and means.

At the beginning of his tenure, he cleared up the deep-rooted problems within the family and the island in just a few years, increased revenue and reduced expenditure, and vigorously developed the armed forces.

The only pity is that his talent is limited. Even if he tries his best, his strength can only reach the level of a naval lieutenant colonel.

This morning, after Tsuda Shintaro finished his meeting with Panda Hara and others, he came to the conference room.

In the conference room, all his capable subordinates have gathered.

Tsuda Shintaro's ambition did not allow him to stay on Fantasy Moon Island forever, so when Panda Hara told him that there was a good opportunity for the Tsuda family to develop, he simply understood it and agreed without hesitation.

In fact, he knew that Panda Hara had bad intentions, but so what?

The opportunity is indeed there, and you can grab it as long as you have the ability.

"Homeowner!"

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"..."

Seeing Tsuda Shintaro striding into the conference room, everyone stood up and greeted him.

"Sit down!" Tsuda Shintaro uttered this word lightly and sat down first.

After everyone was seated again, Tsuda Shintaro instructed, "Kunao, report on the current armed forces."

"Yes!" A calm-looking middle-aged man stood up and faced everyone: "Now our Tsuda family has more than 6 mature combat forces, more than reserve forces, large battleships, and small and medium-sized battleships."

After saying that, Kunio turned his gaze to Tsuda Shintaro.

Tsuda Shintaro nodded slightly, indicating that Kunio could sit down.

Then, he began to explain, "Recently, I have asked the family to buy a large amount of war supplies. You must be curious about why, right?"

Tsuda Shintaro looked around and saw that everyone was curious, so he smiled and said, "Yes, our Tsuda family is going to expand outward."

"Wow~~~" Everyone's eyes showed expressions of shock, excitement, or confusion.

"Of course, this external expansion will not occupy more territory. On the contrary, it will seize more resources to develop the power of the Tsuda family." Shintaro Tsuda added.

"Robbing and coming back, isn't that the same as what pirates do?" After hearing this, some of the senior executives sitting in the lower seats frowned and muttered.

It’s strange to say, although the world of One Piece mainly describes pirates, in fact, pirates are at the bottom of the contempt chain.

No matter how others whitewash pirates, whether it is the pursuit of freedom or the yearning for adventure, anything related to the word "thief" is not a good word.

In the eyes of the mafia, pirates do not work, have no fixed place to live, wander around all day without support, and are just like vagrants.

Although the mafia is not well-received in the eyes of the world, at least they have stable territory and income and do not need to wander around.

So the Mafia looks down on pirates, and of course the pirates also look down on the Mafia.

"Our target this time is the Kingdom of the Netherlands." After everyone finished discussing, Tsuda Shintaro spoke again.

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands? The kingdom to which the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce belongs?" Bang Nan asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Shintaro Tsuda nodded slightly.

"I heard that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has made a lot of money recently thanks to the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce."

"Indeed! Their silk, porcelain, and various canned goods are very popular. I have quite a few at home."

"I heard that their silk, porcelain, Hero's Drunk, Hundred Flowers Royal Jelly, etc. are all supplied to the nobles. How did you get them?"

"Hey, we wiped out a bunch of blind pirates and seized the spoils. As for where they got it from, I don't know."

"You are so lucky." Everyone looked at them with envy.

"Hey!" Seeing that the topic was getting off track, Tsuda Shintaro interrupted and said, "Okay! A few days ago, the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce wanted to build a branch on Huanyue Island, but I refused."

"I'm worried that this is a nail planted by the Kingdom of the Netherlands."

"It can bring us a lot of benefits in the short term, but it is a chronic poison in the long run."

Out of trust in the head of the family, no one questioned it.

Bangnan stood up and said, "Master, we trust you. Please give us your orders."

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"We believe in the master!"

"..."

Everyone spoke in agreement.

Seeing this, Tsuda Shintaro showed a satisfied look and gave a direct order: "This time I will send four large warships to the Kingdom of the Netherlands to share a share of the pie, and this time Kunio will be the commander-in-chief."

"Yes! I will never let the master down." Bangnan immediately stood up and responded excitedly.

No wonder he was so excited. It is true that a gentleman will die for his friend.

With the strength of the entire island of Fantasy Moon, it can barely afford to supply six large warships.

From this we can see how difficult it is to maintain the armament of a large warship.

Ten years for the army, a hundred years for the navy!

Today, 99.99% of the ships on the ocean are made of wood.

It takes about a hundred years for the wood needed to build a large warship to be planted, grown, dried, and finally built.

Therefore, if trees are not planted a hundred years in advance, even when the time comes to build ships, there will be no raw materials for shipbuilding.

Of course you can also buy it with money, but if you do so, the world government will locate your position immediately.

What! Buying so many logs to build large warships, what else do you want to do except rebel?

Then the next day, dozens of large naval warships will arrive at your doorstep and deliver the Demon-Slaying Order Package to you.
