Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
At this moment, in a tavern in Windmill Town of the East Sea!
"Looks like Baki is doing well.”Ye Chen looked at the newspaper that Seagull threw down and smiled.
After Baki obtained the treasure, everything went according to Ye Chen's expectations. He knew how powerful the Jade of Four Souls fragments were. It was enough to turn a pirate with average aptitude into a great pirate. If he obtained enough Jade of Four Souls fragments, it would not be a problem for him to fight against the Four Sovereigns.
"Anyone who gets their hands on Locks 'treasure would be doing pretty well, but I didn't expect Baki to make it big. I hope he doesn't become another red-haired Shanks.”Karp said gloomily.
From Karp's words, it seemed like he wasn't worried about Roguetown's defenses being breached.
"Haha, that's hard to say." Ye Chen said calmly.
"Can you say something nice?”Karp said with a melancholic expression.
Karp had been full of resentment these few days because Ye Chen had not done any business for the past three days. Their navy had not obtained any treasure, nor had they seen the mysterious person who sold the treasure map behind the scenes.
As for why Ye Chen did not sell the treasure map in the past three days, the reason was simple. After the case of Doflemingo snatching the treasure, the Warring States Kingdom ordered warships to surround Windmill Town. The nobles and pirates could not buy the treasure map anymore.
Although the Daily Missions refreshed as usual, Ye Chen was not happy with the navy's methods. This was because if he did so, would he have to sell all his treasures to the navy in the future?
If the navy became too strong, then the pirates would have no place to stand, and in the end, it would only benefit the scumbags like the Heavenly Dragon people.
Ye Chen did not have any prejudice against the navy, but he hated the scumbags of the Heavenly Dragon Tribe.
In addition, the Evil Lord's Legendary Treasure and Locks 'Treasure-Two had not been excavated yet. Therefore, Ye Chen chose to stack all the treasure quests that were refreshed every day. When he had a certain number, he would then hold a treasure map auction.
At the auction, Ye Chen did not believe that the navy would be able to buy all the treasure maps.
He could also take advantage of this period of time to spread the name of the treasure merchant. At that time, it would naturally attract more experts to auction.
Baki had done a good job. He had transformed from a loser into a supernova that attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people. This was something that countless pirates dreamed of.
Of course, what Ye Chen valued the most was the Legendary Treasure, Locks 'Legacy Treasure Two, which was a Gold-tier treasure. Once Doflemingo dug out the Golden Treasure, it would definitely shock the Great Sea Route. At that time, he could harvest another wave of Legendary Points.
For now, Ye Chen could just wait leisurely.
……
"By the way, Jordan, do you have any prejudice against the navy?”
In the tavern, Karp could not help but speak up. He felt that Jordan was rejecting the navy.
"No. On the contrary, most of the soldiers in the navy are worthy of respect. Without the navy headquarters, the world would have been turned upside down by pirates.”Ye Chen said seriously.
In fact, he really didn't have any prejudice against the navy. The last time, it was mainly because Doflemingo was brave enough, and Karp hesitated at first. Otherwise, the gold treasure would be dug out faster if it was handed to Karp.
"But why are you only in the pirate business? I haven't gained anything in the past few days.”Karp said with an annoyed expression.
"It's meaningless for you to say that. You have to know that most pirates and nobles don't dare to have any evil thoughts in front of me. However, your good friend Zhan Guo, his superior Gu Gukong, and the Five Old Stars, do you dare to say that they don't have any thoughts about me?”Ye Chen had no qualms and directly voiced his thoughts.
"They are doing this to maintain the stability of the world.”Karp said with a solemn expression.
Indeed, ever since the appearance of the treasure merchants, the treasure craze on the sea had come one wave after another. The entire Windmill Town was filled with pirates and nobles. The local residents were in a state of panic. This was more or less related to Ye Chen.
" Stop, there's no point in saying such beautiful words. You know better than me what the Five Old Stars and the Heavenly Dragon people are. On account of you being Maqinuo's senior, don't say that I didn't warn you. I'm a treasure merchant, and I welcome you to do business. If you have other intentions, don't regret it when the time comes.”Ye Chen said coldly.
Karp's expression was solemn as he said solemnly,""Looks like you don't trust us.”
"I trust your character, but I don't trust any of your old friends.”Ye Chen said frankly.
"Haha, you're quite to my liking.”Karp said with a satisfied expression.
Ye Chen rolled his eyes and said disdainfully,"It's just a compliment. Is there a need to be so happy? How shameless!”
However, Karp's character was indeed good. A promise was worth a thousand gold!
Although he was thick-skinned, he also had his own heroic spirit. In order to make a promise to Roger, he raised Ace for so many years without telling the Sengoku Kingdom and the others. This showed his character.
With Karp's contributions, he could even become a admiral. The reason why he was a lieutenant general was because he didn't want to be controlled by the higher-ups and become the executioner of the higher-ups. For example, the tragedy of Robin's hometown, Ohara, and the cruel execution of the Five Old Stars mission by the Sengoku Society. If it were Karp, he would definitely disobey orders!
The Ohara incident had even deeply affected a legendary figure in the navy, causing him to question the justice of the navy and become lazy and passive. That was Qing Zhi. Although he was not a general yet, his strength was definitely at the level of a general.
In this world, pirates were mostly bad things, but the navy was not all good things either!
Jordan would never believe the bullshit justice that the navy talked about.
Only the winner was justice!
If they had the ability to take Ye Chen down, they would never talk about justice with Ye Chen.
Therefore, Jordan had the same attitude towards the pirates in the navy. If it was profitable, he would use it. If it was not profitable, he would get lost. Whoever dared to provoke him would be ruthlessly killed!
At this moment, Karp pondered for a moment and said,""I probably know what you're thinking. I'll try my best not to make them your enemies.”
As he spoke, Karp thought to himself, After all, I can't see through you at all.
"Haha…"
Ye Chen smiled indifferently and did not comment. Although Karp's idea was good, Zhan Guo and the others might not listen to him. However, it did not matter. As long as they dared to provoke him, he would not show mercy.
Boom!
Suddenly, the earth shook.
" Earthquake???"
Karp's expression changed. The Goa Kingdom was not an earthquake zone, unless White Beard came.
But why would White Beard come? Could it be that he also wanted Locks 'treasure? That wasn't White Beard's style.
" It's the direction of the Great Sea Route!!"
Looking out of the window of the tavern, Ye Chen saw a blue pillar of light that pierced through the sky and earth. Ye Chen determined that the direction should be from the Great Sea Route.
However, would it be Dolofranmingo or Baki who opened the treasure?
Bronze treasures didn't mean that there were no good things!!
