Whiskey Mountain Peak…
" I'm sorry, but if you're a pirate, you'll have to pay a certain amount of money to pass through here." A certain leader looked at the dozens of pirate ships anchored in front of him and did some calculations in his heart before continuing,""If there are so many people, the normal crew members will be given 100,000 Bailey each, and the captain will be given 1 million Bailey. The captain can pay as he sees fit. If you feel that you are not as good as a captain, you can also give less than that.”
" What? What nonsense are you talking about?" A man in golden armor was stunned for a moment, and a sinister smile appeared on his face." Were you talking to me just now? Pirates have to pay gold coins. That's the funniest joke I've ever heard."
"So you don't intend to hand it over?”
" Nonsense, I'm Klick, the overlord of the East China Sea." Crick pointed a gun at his head from his armor." I've always been the one who robbed others."
" If you think that the 20,000 fully armed men behind me are just for show," the leader seemed to not care about the other party's threat at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued in a calm tone," You can try shooting."”
Although Crick was very arrogant and felt that his strength was invincible, he could not help but hesitate when he saw the densely packed people on the other side of the shore. After all, it was not easy for him to accumulate his forces over so many years. Although he believed that he would definitely be the winner if a war broke out, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. For someone who had the ambition to dominate the great sea route, it was obviously not something he wanted to see from the beginning.
" If you don't hand it over, we won't make things difficult for you." The leader looked at Crick, who looked hesitant, and the corners of his mouth curled up inexplicably." But if you don't hand it over, we won't give you a pass. It's hard to predict what will happen in the next voyage."
" Humph." Crick felt that the other party seemed to be afraid of his strength, but he didn't want to lose face. Seeing that he could deter 20,000 people, he couldn't help but feel proud. He put his weapon back into his armor, looked at his stunned subordinates, and shouted,""What are you waiting for? Let's continue sailing.”
" Yes, Chief Crick," the pirates responded and immediately prepared to set sail.
Thirty minutes later…
" As expected of Captain Ell." One of his subordinates looked at the leader with admiration." He can actually remain calm even when a gun is pointed at him."
" Humph, I've been through countless battles when I was in the Revolutionary Army." Ell wiped the sweat off his forehead, and he couldn't help but sound a little smug. He then realized that it was a little too much to mention the Revolutionary Army. He paused for a moment and looked at the pirate ships that were about to leave his sight. He then ordered his subordinate beside him,""Quickly inform the headquarters that the Krieg Pirates are already heading in the direction of Alabastan. They're probably also searching for the treasure of the Pirate King. It's determined to be an A-level danger.”
At the same time…
Rain...
" That's too much, Crowe. A plan has deceived so many people." Looking at Crowe who ignored him and was still writing something seriously, Lodi couldn't help but feel bored." If someone finds out one day, you'll definitely be called the world's biggest liar."
" Hmph, even if they knew, they would say that you're the captain." Crowe tidied up the documents in his hands and looked at Rody, who was lying in a daze on the chair."If you really have nothing to do, go catch a few pirates. I don't expect you to have any awareness as a captain. I feel like following you was the biggest mistake of my life.”
"You can't say that. Being busy is better than having nothing to do," Lodi said helplessly as he looked at Crowe, who was turning dark."Alright, I'm going out in a few days anyway."
Seeing that Crowe was busy minding his own business, the bored Lodi picked up a piece of information on the table and started reading it.
Lodi took a few glances and found some information about the pirate group that was about to arrive in Alabastan. After taking a look, Lodi couldn't help but admire Crowe's ability in this aspect. He was actually able to get such detailed information about the various pirate groups and even organize them into categories. If it were him, he wouldn't have the patience to do such a complicated thing.
"Are there any special pirate groups recently?”，Lodi thought about it. Although he had stayed in this world for too long and had forgotten many of the original plot, he still remembered the general outline.
Luffy would probably start his journey during this period of time. Thinking about this, Rody couldn't help but become interested. After all, because of his existence, many things had already started to change unknowingly. He didn't know if Usopp would continue to be Luffy's crew.
" Why do you care about this?" Crowe raised his head in confusion." There are quite a few who have some strength, but there's really no one special."
" Humph, the navy really doesn't want to suffer a loss at all. They actually used this incident to test the performance of humanoid weapons." Clough paused and habitually pushed up his glasses with his hand. An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes." I'm very interested in this kind of thing. It's practically made for combat."
"For this reason, I have also gathered some more powerful scientists in private. "But unexpectedly, the technology of this thing is too advanced. There's not much progress in the research at all." Crowe looked straight at Lodi with a hint of madness in his eyes."Why don't you kidnap that scientist who claims to have technology that surpasses humans by 500 years? I'll definitely form an invincible army for you."
Lodi looked at Crowe's fanatical expression and couldn't help but frown.。。。。
"I'd rather kidnap a few Heavenly Dragon people than do such a thing." Drops of sweat appeared on Lodi's forehead.
" Let's not talk about whether or not it will succeed. Even if it succeeds, you won't dare to use it after you develop it." Looking at Crowe's disappointed expression, it seemed that this guy really had such thoughts." Forget about the funding problem. When the time comes, we'll have to face the pursuit of the entire world government. I don't want to do something that harms others and not myself."
" Alright, I'll think of another way." After all, Crowe was hot-headed and understood the stakes.
" Eh, the Krieg Pirates." Lodi looked at the document in his hand and could not help but hold his chin with one hand." Why does this name sound so familiar?”
