Weapons!

Days later.

A fleet approached the waters outside of Wano Country. If the Whitebeard Pirates were present, they would have noticed that this fleet approaching the waters outside of Wano was the same one that had passed them by in the storm a few days earlier.

"Captain, is our client this time someone important from Wano Country?"

As they waited for the other party to meet them, a curious crew member asked the captain.

The captain of this ship did not answer directly but gave the crew member a cold glance.

That one look caused the crew member's expression to change, and he remained silent, bowing his head quietly.

In their line of work, it was best not to ask questions, especially when it involved certain important figures. Sometimes, curiosity could truly be fatal.

"Captain!, they're here."

With the words of the crew member beside him, the leader of this fleet also picked up a telescope and looked into the distance, seeing a large ship being pulled by several huge goldfish as it leaped down from the waterfall of Wano Country.

Soon, it arrived in front of their fleet.

Once the two ships docked together, a person wearing a fox mask leaped onto the deck from the ship.

"You're quite punctual."

The person with the fox mask looked at the captain in front of him and spoke.

"That's for sure. After all, our reputation as the top player in the Underworld relies on word of mouth. If we say three days, it's three days, no later!"

The captain said proudly. This was also a demonstration of strength. To be able to prepare so many weapons in a short time and deliver them within three days spoke volumes.

"Let's check the goods first."

The person with the fox mask said calmly.

"No problem."

As the captain's words fell, two crew members quickly approached with a wooden crate.

They pried open the crate, revealing rows of brand new flintlock rifles wrapped in oilcloth inside.

The person with the fox mask casually pulled out a rifle from inside, briefly inspected it, and tested the feel before tossing it to the captain.

"Not bad."

Then, he waved to the ship behind him, and several masked individuals from the ship brought down several boxes of gold bars.

"It's all there."

"No need, no need. We trust your reputation."

Seeing the shining gold bars in the boxes under the sunlight, the person in charge of the fleet smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Well then, pleasant cooperation. When we need to place another order, we'll come to you."

"No problem, sir."

With the transaction completed, the ships of both parties left the area.

Subsequently, with the help of several huge goldfish, the ships climbed up the waterfall, the only passage into Wano Country.

"Captain, I'm back."

By a beach in Hakumai, Simon said to Nicholas, who was sunbathing, as he placed a stack of newspapers on the table.

Due to Wano's special policies, Nicholas and his crew hadn't had access to newspapers for a long time.

He wondered if anything significant had happened in the outside world during this time?

Nicholas reclined on a beach chair, holding a newspaper and reading.

"Everything went smoothly?"

"Smoothly, and those guys seem to want to maintain long-term cooperation with us. They even sent us an extra ten thousand lead bullets."

"Well, rest for now. Afterwards, teach those guys the most basic firearms operation. They can wield hoes and sickles with ease, but handling firearms might be a bit challenging for them."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Simon said and lay down on the nearby empty beach chair, enjoying the rare tranquility.

"Oh?"

Glancing over, Nicholas was surprised by the contents of the newspaper.

"The former noble family of the World Nobles, the Donquixote family, was massacred in the North Sea, with no survivors."

In the World Economic Gazette, Nicholas saw this news and paused. He knew the true reason for Donquixote's death, but he didn't expect the World Government to brush it off so easily.

Correspondingly, there appeared a new rookie pirate crew in the North Sea named the Donquixote Pirates, but this news was quite inconspicuous compared to others.

"The Giant Warrior Pirates, missing for a hundred years, set sail again. Captain 'Dory and Brogy'' have bounties of two hundred and fifty million berries each. Shortly after their departure, they encountered a team of five hundred professional bounty hunters known as the Giant Hunting Team. Eventually, 'Dory and Brogy'' joined forces to defeat the bounty hunters, and none of the bounty hunting team survived."

"Later, the Blood Axe Pirates and the One-eyed Pirates encountered the Giant Warrior Pirates but were defeated by Dory alone. Both pirate crews did not survive. Subsequently, they also directly defeated the Marine fleet that came to besiege them. For a while, they were unrivaled."

Nicholas narrowed his eyes and muttered softly to himself, "Is Roger's final voyage about to begin? Since it's so lively, why not make your last voyage even more turbulent?"

With that thought, Nicholas looked down at the Den Den Mushi on the table.

After a moment of contemplation, he dialed several numbers one by one...
