Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History
Chapter 289
New World.
Coin Island.
This island was originally a deserted island, but because of its unique geographical location, it is located at the convergence point of many trade routes in the New World. Due to the need for trade and supplies, it gradually developed a prosperous business.
Because of this, this island later became a territory for many forces and pirate groups in the underground world to fight for. After all, the more prosperous the place, the more money, intelligence and resources flow, in other words, huge profits.
After more than ten years of oppression, competition, and war, this island has experienced countless wars and was taken into the pocket of the dark emperor of the underground world, Lu Field, and has developed rapidly under the latter's strong promotion. Now it has become a well-known financial port in the New World.
Countless banks, large and small, have set up branches here, and various news agencies, chambers of commerce, casinos, commercial facilities are everywhere, and high-rise buildings are everywhere.
In terms of topography, due to the continuous reclamation and expansion by Lu Field, the "King of Usury", the bird's-eye view presents a vague huge coin shape. In addition, with the huge amount of financial business circulating here every day, the original name of the island has been gradually forgotten by people.
Everyone habitually calls this island "Coin Island".
...
On the deck of the warship, Darren flipped through the intelligence documents handed over by Zhan Guo, and simply learned about the information of the golden island on the distant sea.
"So, in general, this is an island that is rich?"
Darren made a concise summary.
Zhan Guo nodded and said in a deep voice:
"'Loan shark king' Lu Field... This guy controls more than 50% of the loan shark business in the underground world. The banks and money houses he controls are called 'money boxes'. There is even a saying in the New World - 'Field's shit is all gold'."
"Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show this guy's resources and strength."
Darren rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"I am very curious, how did this rich guy survive in the New World? Survived?"
Zhan Guo shook his head and sighed:
"This guy serves not only the Chamber of Commerce, fleets and pirates... It is said that many member states of the World Government have cooperative relations with him. After all, any force may encounter an emergency such as capital turnover, so no matter how chaotic the New World is, it has nothing to do with this Coin Island."
"This island is like a peaceful area in a storm, and it has always stood firm."
"Therefore, many lawless people and dark areas have gathered here."
Darren suddenly realized.
If there is such a relationship, it can be understood.
Otherwise, such a fertile big cake is placed in the New World, and it is difficult for those greedy guys to resist taking a bite.
As for the cooperation of the member states of the World Government... Although he does not know the inside story, Darren can probably guess that it is likely related to Tianshangjin.
The World Government collects huge amounts of Tianshangjin from the members of the member states every year.
But not every member of the member states can pay on time. After all, climate, business, war and other reasons will lead to instability in domestic tax revenue.
But the attitude of the world government towards the sky gold is absolutely not allowed to be postponed.
In this way, many members of the member states with financial difficulties can only use their financial income as collateral to borrow high-interest loans from the "Coin Island" to pay enough sky gold.
In this way, although they have to pay high interest, it at least gives the members of the member states room to survive.
Just listening to the tone of Zhan Guo...
Darren glanced at Zhan Guo obscurely.
Could it be that the Navy Headquarters also borrowed high-interest loans from Lu Field as a supplement to military expenses?
"What's that look in your eyes..."
Zhan Guo rolled his eyes unhappily.
He naturally noticed Darren's strange look, and laughed and scolded:
"Although the navy is short of military funds, it is not to the point of borrowing usury!"
Borsalino next to him said suddenly:
"After all, we can't afford such high interest..."
Darren:...
Zhan Guo:...
"Ahem... Darren boy, are you sure the source of this information is credible?"
Zhan Guo coughed twice and changed the subject without blushing.
"General Zhan Guo, the information should be fine..."
Darren nodded,
"Although it is only a small-scale auction, many prominent forces in the New World have received invitations."
At this point, his tone was a little cold.
"But this also means that our action this time is likely toEncountered many unexpected enemies. "
Zhan Guo's face also darkened, and he was clearly aware of this problem.
Since it is an auction in the underground world, and it is a powerful and precious devil fruit like the Momo Fruit, it will naturally attract countless forces to compete for it.
After all, the title of "World Destroyer" Bondi Waldo is here. It can be said without hesitation that no matter which force gets the Momo Fruit, it will add an extremely powerful combat force!
Large pirate groups, chambers of commerce, powerful countries... It can be imagined that this auction will never be so "peaceful".
And all this is extremely difficult for the navy. 's disadvantage.
Think about that scene for a moment:
In the bustling auction, many powerful pirates and dark forces are bidding enthusiastically, and then suddenly a group of navy appears...
The navy will definitely become the target of public criticism!
Once the fight starts, the pirates and dark forces will definitely point their spearheads at the navy first!
Whether the Momo fruit can be obtained is one thing, but being caught by the navy is another matter.
After a moment of silence, Zhan Guo slowly exhaled and said in a deep voice:
"In any case, Darren boy, our primary target this time is still the Golden Lion Shiki."
"The Momo fruit must not fall into his hands!"
Darren raised his eyebrows:
"So what you mean is..."
Zhan Guo said carefully:
"If possible, try to obtain the Momo fruit in a peaceful way. After all, there is a high possibility that there will be members from the World Government member countries at the auction..."
"So we bid normally according to the process of the auction? "Darren was a little surprised, "How to arrange the funds..."
Zhan Guo glanced at him:
"The headquarters is short of funds, so this task is handed over to you."
He looked calm and composed.
Darren:...
"General Zhan Guo, I don't think the situation will remain under control."
Darren thought for a while and said:
"Since the Golden Lion's goal is the Momo Fruit, it is naturally impossible for him to obtain it in a peaceful way with his personality... He is a real pirate, so he will naturally act in a pirate way."
Zhan Guo pinched his temple with a headache.
He also considered this factor.
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Darren did not answer immediately.
He flipped through the intelligence documents in his hand, and a sneer gradually rose at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he asked a seemingly irrelevant question:
"I heard that this Coin Island, almost the entire city is made of various coins?"
"Yes, after all, Lu Field is rich and powerful... Wait, what do you want to do! ? "
Zhan Guo answered subconsciously, but he noticed something strange in an instant and his face changed slightly.
Darren smiled and said:
"Didn't they say that there would be many pirates and dark forces participating in the auction?"
"This time... let's just catch them all in one fell swoop."
