080 New Source of Income

"Captain Blackbeard, how did you do it?"

Jesus Burgess asked with a look of shock. 

In his opinion, this is something that cannot be accomplished in the first place.

"Zeehahaha, of course, this is a secret!" 

Blackbeard laughed and didn't give any explanation.

With his status, even if he didn't tell anyone, no one would dare to ask or find out.

"This ability is truly terrifying…" 

Burgess glanced around the room, observing everything transforming into a diamond-covered space. It seemed like he had just realized something.

He then picked up a cup that had turned into a diamond. 

The transparent and exceptionally sturdy cup now resembled a real diamond in every way.

"Captain Blackbeard, i ... .are we going to be rich now?" 

Burgess asked, looking bewildered.

His words snapped everyone around out of their shock, and they too understood the meaning of Burgess's question.

Now, with a room filled with diamonds, each one capable of fetching a hefty price, it's nothing short of a fortune in their hands.

Becoming a Four Emperors requires not only strength but also a large amount of financial resources. With so many crew under his command, relying solely on robbing and plundering won't suffice, right?

As a Yonko, it's importand to have a reliable source of income.

Similar to Big Mom's Kingdom, which relies on collecting protection fees, and Kaido, who trades sea stones with the World Government.

Now, Blackbeard can entirely amass wealth through the Diamond Fruit.

"Burgess, go get some sea water." 

Blackbeard said to Burgess.

Burgess was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran out to get sea water.

"Boss Blackbeard, what are you planning to do with seawater?" 

A curious beauty asked as she leaned in next to Blackbeard.

"Certainly, it has its uses" 

Blackbeard smiled faintly. Feeling the touch on his arm, he created a large diamond in his palm easily.

"It's for you"

 Blackbeard said as he handed the diamond to the beautiful woman.

The beauty's eyes lit up, and she held Blackbeard's arm tighter, as if she wanted to give herself to him immediately.

"Blackbeard boss, you're being unfair. Aren't we working hard too?" 

The beauties said coquettishly as they surrounded Blackbeard.

"It depends on your performance. Who knows, if something impresses me, I might just reward you two"

Blackbeard laughed heartily in response.

He regarded the rowdy fans around him as part of the entertainment. After all, finding joy in life is what matters most.

Observing this, envy naturally filled the eyes of the surrounding pirates. 

Such treatment is expected of a ruler of the seas.

They could only enjoy some good fortune under Blackbeard's favor. 

Shortly after, Burgess entered the room with a bucket of seawater. 

Blackbeard casually tossed a diamond cup into the sea water.

As expected, upon contact with seawater, the diamond returned to its original state.

This sight left everyone feeling a bit disappointed. 

Blackbeard once again took a diamond cup and held it in his hand, transform it back to diamond

The diamond cup looks indistinguishable from a real diamond, with the only vulnerability being sea water.

However, in this huge world, very few people are aware of the -diamond diamond fruit, let alone the diamonds created by the awakening of diamond-diamond fruit.

Only members of the Blackbeard Pirates are aware of this kind of things. After all, who else would know about it?

"We're pirates, isn't it normal making money through fake diamonds? Zeehahaha!" 

Blackbeard laughed.

If he hadn't done this, how could Tesoro accumulate 20% of the world's Beli with his awakened Golden Fruit?

And with him truly possessing 20% of the Beli, even the Celestial Dragons would be more likely to cooperate with him, rather than opposing the fake gold.

This is the interest-driven relationship that money creates! 

Therefore, Blackbeard doesn't care about authenticity; he only cares about the results.

"That's right, who else would know besides us?" 

The pirates around had sly smiles on their faces.

"If anyone spills this secret, I, Burgess, will be the first to tear him apart! Weihahaha!" 

Burgess laughed. Of course, what he said was for Blackbeard. 

This secret must not be spread.

Hearing Burgess's laughter, the faces of everyone present twitches involuntarily. It seemed as if Burgess was issuing a warning to them

If this secret were to leak, Blackbeard's methods would undoubtedly kill everyone who knew...

Following that, Blackbeard assembled all the Titanic captains of the Blackbeard Pirates to inform them about his awakening of the Diamond Fruit.

At first, each of them found it hard to believe. 

It wasn't until Blackbeard transformed the entire room into diamonds that they finally accepted the reality.

"Admiral Blackbeard, is there another reason why you brought us together?" 

Laffitte asked.

"Indeed, and I was about to ask you" 

Blackbeard replied casually.

His words left Laffitte somewhat puzzled, and he respectfully said to Blackbeard: "Admiral Blackbeard, please go ahead and ask."

"I have created a large quantity of diamonds. How about you manage the export volume of these diamonds, selling them strategically to maintain stable diamond prices and ensure the income of our Blackbeard Pirates?" 

Blackbeard's words made Laffitte's eyes widened.

"Captain Blackbeard, you're a business genius!" 

Laffitte marveled with star in his eyes

Such strategic thinking was beyond the comprehension of pirates like them, who were accustomed to constant fighting and killing.

"Captain Blackbeard is really awesome, he even understands this aspect." 

Shiryu exclaimed with admiration while puffing his cigar

Gion's eyes gleamed with surprise. In just half a year, the Blackbeard Pirates, led by Blackbeard, had swiftly risen to the status of Yonko. It seemed possible that they might indeed challenge the World Government in the future!

"Not only that, I want to transform Beehive Island into a Diamond Island. I plan to expand our entertainment project and use islands-island fruit to expand our land. This will become the center of pirates in this entire world!" 

Blackbeard's eyes glowed with profound ambition.

While he holds huge power and influence in the New World, his influence on a global scale is not yet formidable.

Apart from acting as a deterrent to pirates, he does not offer any benefits to the major powers in the world.

Without providing benefits, his value naturally won't be that great. 

Now, he aims to expand his influence among the underground forces and exert an impact on the wider world.

Then, Blackbeard turned to Gion and said: "Contact Doflamingo; our Blackbeard Pirates still need a large number of weapons. With these diamonds, we have nothing to worry about."

As the 11 Titanic Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, Gion doesn't have any crew under her, so Blackbeard sees her as his secretary, handling various tasks around him.

"Sure!"

Gion nodded, then retrieved a Den Den Mushi. 

This Den Den Mushi was used for contacting Doflamingo, one of the kings of the underground world!
