"Captain, once my cone is tempered into a black cone, I will be able to take on a Marine admiral!"
Qingjiao touched his cone head and smiled.
The swordsman's dream is to forge his own black sword, and his younger brother's dream is to connect his cone head into a black cone!
"Hahahahaha, I believe you can do it. Let's go to the island and have a rest!"
Li Yuan smiled and said that he was very optimistic about these two crew members, who were very likely to become admirals in the future. He believed in his own vision and his crew members!
"Oh my God, the Promise Pirates won, Admiral Zefa and Navy Hero Garp were defeated by the Promise Pirates!"
"Great! In that case, Grimaud Island is safe. The trade will not be disrupted by the navy anymore!"
"Quick, quick, inform the king and have him quickly deliver the supplies that the Promise Pirates need for the trade. If you come too late, I'm afraid that all the goods that the Promise Pirates brought will be sold out!"
"."
After seeing Hades approaching and the navy hero Garp's warship retreating, the people on Grimaud Island began to contact the forces behind them and strengthen their trade with Grimaud Island.
The members of the Promise Pirates also began to move the goods obtained from Grimaud Island into space scrolls, and then transported the space scrolls back to the Promise Sea, and then processed into commodities by many factories.
The goods that need to be sold are then transported to Grimaldi Island for sale, thus forming a closed-loop trade.
"Oh? I didn't expect Zhan Guo to attack our Wuji Sea!"
After Li Yuan came to the island to rest, he saw the message Xia Qi sent him.
"It seems that Barrett and his team have grown a lot and can now hold off the Warring States. Not bad, not bad. In a few years, Barrett will be fully grown."
Li Yuan smiled with relief when he saw the news that Barrett and his team could defeat Zhan Guo together.
The strength of the Warring States period is not comparable to that of today's Zefa. Today's Zefa can be said to be barely considered a top-level combat force.
But Sengoku, who possesses the Conqueror's Haki, is only slightly weaker than Garp. He is a marine admiral who can fight head-on with Whitebeard.
That is to say, Sengoku's attack power is not as strong as Whitebeard's. If it were Whitebeard, Barrett and the others would not be able to stop Whitebeard.
"Morgones, you should know about Grimaldi Island."
Li Yuan took out his phone and called Morgause.
"It turns out to be the world's greatest swordsman, Lord Li Yuan. Hehehe, Lord Li Yuan is really well-informed. I just got the intelligence and Lord Li Yuan already knew it!"
"This is big news. Don't worry, Mr. Li Yuan. I will definitely praise you and let your reputation of defeating the Navy Hero Garp spread."
Morgon said excitedly.
After hearing what Morgon said, Li Yuan finally understood what it meant to talk nonsense. He saw the newsbird on Grimaldi Island on the first day. This guy knew about it seven days ago and told him that he just got the news.
This guy simply wants to wait until the outcome of Li Yuan and Garp's battle comes out before announcing it together, so that the headlines will be more eye-catching!
"Morgonis, nothing about Grimaldi Island should appear in the newspapers, and the results of the battle just now should not be reported."
Li Yuan came to Morgause not to promote himself, but to prevent Morgause and his gang from making false reports.
After all, Grimaud Island is in the West Sea, which is the territory of the World Government. If Morgon's report is released, everyone in the world will know that Li Yuan has occupied Grimaud Island in the West Sea.
By then, the World Government will be under pressure and will not allow Grimaldi Island to continue to exist no matter what.
The Promise Pirates alone cannot stop the World Government's revenge. As long as the World Government sends a top-level combat force to cooperate with the Shanghai Army, Grimaldi Island can be destroyed.
This is what Li Yuan does not want to see, so he does not want Morgause to publicize this report. This will also save face for the World Government.
He bet that the World Government would not go to war with the Wuji Pirates over such a small matter. It was just an island, and Li Yuan's deeds were not known to everyone. The World Government did not suffer any losses and could even make a lot of profits from it.
In the past, the World Government also purchased a lot of products from the Promise Pirates through the underground world, but purchasing through the underground world would cost more money. If the World Government directly sent people to Grimaldi Island to purchase, it would save a lot of money.
"Mr. Li Yuan, I understand. I will not report the big news about Grimaldi Island."
Morgon said with great regret that this was big news. As a professional paparazzi, he couldn't report the big news. This was simply an insult to his profession as a paparazzi. But he had to bear this insult himself.
"Your Excellency Saint Satan, regarding the invasion of the West Sea by the Wuji Pirate Group."
After telling Bogart to let Garp and the others retreat, Kong called the Five Elders and reported the matter.
The main meaning is that the navy is unable to drive out the Promise Pirates and needs the support of the World Government.
"Kong, fighting pirates is the navy's duty. Don't come to us for help every time you encounter something like this. Otherwise, why do we give your navy so much military funding every year?"
"The World Government has not yet made up for the losses it suffered last time. The World Government will not support you in this matter. You, the Navy, must solve this problem on your own!"
"."
After hearing Gungukkong's request, Saint Satan immediately scolded him. His meaning was that the navy should solve the problem themselves and they would not intervene.
"Bullshit!"
After Ganggukong hung up the phone in frustration, he looked around the office and saw that no one was there. His suppressed anger immediately erupted, and he let out a roar that echoed a thousand meters around him. He slapped the table in front of him, breaking it into pieces.
Is it really worth it for him to be a naval admiral? There are five old guys shitting above his head, few capable soldiers below him, and a large group of pirates mocking him outside. He has to stay in the naval headquarters and cannot take any action. It's really terrible!
"Someone, tell Garp and the others not to wait any longer and to come back immediately!"
After suppressing his anger, Kong Gu sent someone to convey a message to Garp and the others.
Originally, Steel Bone Sora thought that the World Government would send people to support them, and then let Garp and others cooperate with the World Government to drive away the Infinite Pirates.
Now that the World Government has given up, he will also let the Promise Pirates occupy Grimaud Island in the West Sea. I hope the World Government will not regret it when the time comes!
"Captain, the results are out. The current strength of the Promise Pirates is really beyond our expectations. The three top forces of the Navy can't do anything to the Promise Pirates!"
Reinhardt of the Flying Pirates passed the information to the Golden Lion and said.
Think about it from another perspective. If the Flying Pirates were facing the three major forces of the Navy, they could only deal with two at most, and they would probably not be able to hold off the last one!
"Barrett, Ashura Douji, Kalu, Kano."
Golden Lion looked at the information about the Promise Pirates' officers and felt very familiar with it. Golden Lion had met some of the officers of the Promise Pirates when they were on the Rocks ship.
At that time, Golden Lion didn't take them seriously at all, thinking that they were just a few minions around Li Yuan. He didn't expect that they have grown to this point now.
"Hahahaha, you are worthy of this Li Yuan gang. After the Rocks Pirates were disbanded, the most powerful pirate group was the Roger Pirates. Later, the Flying Sky Pirates and the Wuji Pirates rose at the same time. Up to now, the Wuji Pirates have undoubtedly surpassed the Roger Pirates. Our Flying Sky Pirates are not afraid of the Roger Pirates at all."
"In a short time, our Flying Pirates will also be able to overtake Roger's Pirates. Right now, we are just a little behind the Infinite Pirates!"
"Reinhardt, ask Aslan Erasti and Harold William to come over. We will train you personally so that you can grow up as soon as possible!"
"As long as you can grow up, it won't be a problem to surpass Roger's Pirates and the Promise Pirates in the future!"
The Golden Lion laughed.
Li Yuan has core cadres and capable subordinates, and his Golden Lion also has crew members he values.
Reinhard, the user of the nature-type Air Flow Fruit; Aslan Erasti, the user of the superhuman-type Elimination Fruit; Harold William, the user of the animal-type, Leo Fruit, mythical beast, and Griffin form.
The devil fruits of these three capable subordinates were given to them by Golden Lion from his own treasure house. They are also his most valued subordinates.
"Captain, I'll call them over right away!"
Reinhardt said excitedly.
In the past, their captain was so arrogant that he would at most give some verbal instructions but would never come out in person to serve as their sparring partner.
Now the Golden Lion is going to teach them personally, which is a very rare opportunity for Reinhard and the others!
"It seems that the World Government really does not intend to take action"
Li Yuan has been on Grimaud Island for half a month and has not found anyone from the navy or the World Government coming here. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. It seems that his gamble was right.
The Promise Pirates did not openly confront the World Government, and the World Government ignored the Promise Pirates' actions and took advantage of the opportunity to profit.
"Qingjiao, Kumasi, you guys just stay here to guard for a while, someone will come to replace you later."
After confirming that the World Government would not take action against Grimaldi Island, Li Yuan did not continue to stay here. Instead, he asked Qingjiao and Kumas to guard here, and then went back with Ashura Douji.
The situation has not yet stabilized, so we need an officer to stay here. After it stabilizes after a while, we can replace him.
"Captain, rest assured, we are here to guard, and anyone who dares to mess with my cone will never be spared!"
Qingjiao said confidently.
After arranging matters on Grimaldi Island, Li Yuan returned home on the Hades.
"My dear, the King of Maritime Umit wants to see you."
Li Yuan had just returned to the Wuji Sea when Yadina came to find him.
"What's wrong with him?"
Li Yuan asked.
Ever since Yadina took over all affairs of the Promise Pirates, it has been Yadina who has been in contact with Umit. Now that Umit has come to him, it is not normal.
"He said he wanted to join the Promise Pirates completely, rather than just work with them as a partner."
A smile appeared on Yadina's face.
She had already begun to weaken her cooperation with Umit a few years ago, and then vigorously cultivated the Promise Pirates' own caravan.
As the Promise Pirates continue to grow, the caravans naturally become larger, and in the New World, no one dares to give the Promise Pirates face.
Although Umit's voice is getting louder and louder because of the Promise Pirates, the fact is that if he continues, his business in the New World will be impacted by the Promise Pirates' caravan.
Now that Li Yuan has opened up caravan and trade islands from the Calm Belt directly to the West Sea, Umit's business in the four seas will also be affected in the future.
Yadina did this to force Umit to join the Promise Pirates and be tied to them, otherwise she would never trust outsiders.
"Oh? In that case, let him come and see me."
After hearing what Yadina said, and looking at the cunning smile on her face that she couldn't hide, Li Yuan probably guessed what was going on.
Over the years, Yadina has experienced a lot of things and met all kinds of people. She is no longer the pure-hearted witch she used to be. Instead, she has become the mistress of a huge pirate group, and a strategic, wise, and broad-minded mistress.
Soon, Umit came in front of Li Yuan. Looking at Umit in front of him, Li Yuan felt a little strange, because he had met Umit twice since Umit cooperated with the Promise Pirates, and this meeting was the second time. The first time was when Umit agreed to cooperate with the Promise Pirates.
"Umit, what brings you to see me?"
Li Yuan sat in the main seat, holding Yadina in his arms and asked casually.
"Mr. Li Yuan, I have come to join the Wuji Pirates. From now on, all the maritime forces under my command will be assigned to the Wuji Pirates."
Umit said firmly.
As one of the dark kings of the underworld, he is well aware of the importance of having a backer.
Behind every dark king in the underground world there is a huge backer, otherwise they themselves would not be able to support such a huge dark deal in the underground world.
In the past, he cooperated with the Wuji Pirates because he wanted to have Li Yuan as his backer. But now, after noticing the Wuji Pirates' alienation and the fact that they had opened up a trading island in the West Sea, he became panicked and afraid.
He was afraid that the Promise Pirates would kick him out, and even more afraid that the Promise Pirates would take the initiative to swallow up his forces.
Under the premise that it was impossible to resist, Umit chose not to resist, but to surrender voluntarily, which was better than being annexed.
It's not that he hasn't thought about joining other forces, but no one in the New World would risk offending the Promise Pirates to accept him, and joining the World Government would be a slow death, so he had no choice.
