A Discussion

When Blood Harbor Town was making money every day, a group of people's interests were violated, so they gathered together.

West Blue, on an unknown island.

This small island did not have any particular resource or trees. It's just a deserted island, and no one comes here in normal times

But today was unusual!

There were dozens of ships outside the island, all big and small!

There were all kinds of flags flying on the ship. It could be seen that these were not people from the same boat!

In the middle of the island.

Dozens of people were surrounding an empty ground.

Among this group of people, there were the mafia, pirates, kingdom generals, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and all kinds of people. The composition was quite complicated!

In the middle, there were five people sitting!

And there was only one reason for them to gather together - mutual interests!

"Everyone must know the purpose of gathering here today!" The one who spoke was a man in his thirties with his hair combed back, wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a smile on his face.

He was West Blue's biggest fabric supplier, the president of Ockham Chamber of Commerce, Ockham!

"Blood Port Town is almost forcing us to die."

"Yes, I didn't even sell a single piece of cloth last month."

"If this continues, my Chamber of Commerce will soon go bankrupt."

"I can't even afford to eat!"

...

Ockham's words instantly resonated with most of the people present.

"If you have something to say, just say it!" An impatient voice sounded. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man around forty years old. He had a sturdy build and a specially made shotgun hanging from his waist. His face was fierce-looking and he had a big cigar in his mouth.

It was the head of the Barney Family, one of West Blue's top mafia families, Barney Mons!

The main business was to rely on the powerful force of the family to monopolize the supply of fabric and materials from nearby countries!

Monopoly had always been the most profitable business model!

But recently, his monopoly had been broken. In these few kingdoms, there were large amounts of fabric that were much cheaper than his price.

Only then did he realize that the price of the goods in Blood Port Town was very low.

The shipping price from Blood Harbor Town was even lower than his cost!

The profit made the merchants in the nearby kingdoms go crazy and never took the goods from him again!

He originally wanted to use force to threaten these merchants to take the goods from him.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he finally gave up on this decision. He is very clear about the character of the merchants. Even if it was a monopoly before, his was only a little higher than the general market price.

The merchants pinched their noses and accepted it, treating it as paying him protection fees!

However, once it involved huge benefits, these merchants would probably go completely crazy.

If the completely crazy merchants joined forces, no matter how strong his family was, it would be enough to stir things up!

After giving up, he thought of a way to regain monopoly.

"Sell all the raw materials to Blood Port Town, then buy some cheap fabric from Blood Port Town, and sell it to the merchants at a higher price!"

In his opinion, the merchants would pinch their noses and complied!

But this way, his losses would be great!

Once this was done, the machines he originally used to weave cloth would be completely useless and could only be abandoned!

What's more, he could earn a bit from raw materials, processing, and sales, but after doing so, he would only be able to earn a little bit from sales in the future, and his profits would drop off a cliff!

And what about the workers who helped him weave fabric and produce raw materials?

Most of these were relatives of his family!

All sorts of problems followed, causing him to feel annoyed and impatient, so he had the thought of solving the problem directly!

"Hehehe…"

A somewhat nervous voice came out. The one who spoke was a brawny man who was two and three meters tall in leather armor.

His exposed skin was like a crocodile's, his teeth were very sharp, his eyes had green vertical pupils, and there was a ferocious scar on his face from his forehead to his chin!

He was the captain of the Killer Crocodile pirates, Hakkar, with a bounty of 60 million. This price was considered top among West Blue!

Although he looked like a devil fruit user, he was not. Because his appearance and fighting style were like a crocodile, he was nicknamed the Killer Crocodile!

Unlike others, he simply wanted to find trouble with Blood Port Town and even the entire St. Martin Kingdom!

The reason was that St. Martin Kingdom defeated the famous pirate named Chinjao!

If he wanted to be more famous than Chinjao, he would have to defeat St. Martin Kingdom and Shaka!

However, although he was a little neurotic, it was not a problem with his brain.

He had previously inquired about the specific military strength of St. Martin Kingdom through various channels. With his fleet, if he wanted to defeat them, he would have to suffer heavy losses.

That was why he had come to this gathering. He wanted to use the people from the gathering to gather a large fleet to attack Blood Port Town. At the same time, he would clear out St. Martin's army and create an opportunity for him to fight Shaka alone!

Unfortunately, his only miscalculationwas his overconfidence. He did not know that even if he defeated the army of the St. Martin Kingdom, with his strength as a Lieutenant Colonel, he would only be an ant!

"Then I will be frank. There is only one purpose for everyone to come here this time, and that is Blood Port Town!" Ockham smiled and said with a murderous tone.

"Hehe!" Hearing this, a middle-aged man with a big beard, who was wearing a long black leather shoe, a black windbreaker, and a golden revolver on his waist, let out a disdainful chuckle, as if he had a different purpose than everyone else!

He was the general of the Oga Kingdom, Stanky

"General Stanky, you should be the most anxious one here!" A lazy voice called him out.

It was a beautiful woman wearing a red cheongsam. A pair of slender legs were exposed at the ends of the cheongsam!

Wearing read high heels with sharp edges, she had long golden wavy hair and a red satchel in her hand. She looked to be in her twenties and had a plump figure.

She was the president of Victoria Chamber of Commerce, Victoria Ivans. She was also the second largest fabric supplier for West Blue. Different from Ockham, her Chamber of Commerce also had perfumes, lipstick, clothing, and other businesses.

Although she was a woman, no one present dared to underestimate her. They even respected her a little. She had the nickname of Bloody Rose in West Blue!

"Hehe, your Oga Kingdom is near the St. Martin Kingdom! If it really doesn't work out, they can move and run away. At worst, we won't do this business anymore. How are you going to transfer it?"

Hakkar gloated.

The Oga Kingdom was one of the five great kingdoms near the St. Martin Kingdom. It was a large country that produced fabric materials. The main resources in the country were the raw materials for producing fabric!

However, he did not come here because Blood Port Town sold a large number of cheap fabric!

If their master produced materials, there would be no direct conflict of interest with Blood Port Town. On the contrary, the appearance of Blood Port Town made their raw material business have a new sales point!

Logically speaking, they should be happy!

But otherwise, because they were near the Kingdom of St. Martin, after the Kingdom of St. Martin destroyed Felt Kingdom, the nearby five kingdoms realized that a wolf had mixed in the flock!

Under such circumstances, seeing the Blood Port Town of the Kingdom of St. Martin sell all kinds of low-price goods in large quantities, wih ships constantly coming and going, and the massive daily income, how could they be happy?

"Hmph!" Stanky snorted and did not speak again!

"Let's get back to the main point. How to deal with Blood Port Town? I hope everyone can come up with an idea!" Ockham smiled and said.

Most of the people here are doing business related to fabrics, and there are other businesses, but relatively few!

There was no other way, because the first use of the steam engine was for the textile mill, the iron furnace, the flour factory, and so on.

Of course, the iron produced by the iron furnace was prioritized to be given to the kingdom first, and the flour factory was also the same. Only the textile factory could sell their products to the kingdom and the outside world.

It cannot be said that there are no other industries, but the impact is relatively small.

"Hehe, what idea do you have? We have so many people here. It is not a problem to assemble a large fleet of 50,000 people, right? Wouldn't it be over if we just directly attacked it?" Hakkar said with a grin.

As soon as Hakkar finished speaking, Barney, who was annoyed and wanted to vent his anger because of the matter at Blood Port Town, added,

"I agree. I will send three thousand people to break Blood Port Town!"

"I agree, I will send three hundred people!"

"I will send eight hundred people!"

"I will send six hundred people!"

...

The heads

of the various families, chambers of commerce, and pirate groups echoed in agreement.At this time, Stanky poured cold water and said faintly, "The country of St. Martin is a member of World Government!"

"Uh.." Everyone suddenly quieted down as if their necks had been strangled.

The name World Government was really too deterrent.

Although West Blue had pirates and mafia, it did not mean that Marine and World Government had no deterrence.

They probably knew in their hearts that West Blue's mafia had many pirates, so usually Marine would not target them, but only those who had committed great sins first!

But once they attack one of the member of the alliance, the nature will be different.

Marine and World Government will definitely chase them!

Otherwise, how could World Government and Marine still have any prestige?

Who would still want to ally with World Government?

Of course, it did not mean that the allied countries were completely unable to attack. World Government would not participate in the war between the allied countries!

But Stanky, who was present, was a general of a kingdom, and a general of an allied country!

Unless Stankey agrees to allow them to gather in the name of the Kingdom of Oga to attack the Kingdom of San Martin, they will not be able to gather together.

However, this way, Stanky was not willing to do so. Colluding with pirates and mafia was not a good reputation!

"Since it is not possible, then everyone can come up with some ideas!" Ockham still said with a smile on his face.
