Chapter 141 Armaments
A few days later.
A fleet approached the Outer Sea of Wano Country. If the Whitebeard Pirates had been present, they would have recognized this fleet approaching the Outer Sea of Wano Country as the same one that had passed them by in the storm a few days prior.
"Captain, is our client this time some big shot from Wano Country?" While waiting for the other party to respond, a crew member asked the Captain curiously.
The Captain of this ship didn't answer, but instead gave him a cold glance. This single look immediately changed the crew member's expression. He then lowered his head and stood quietly to the side, saying nothing.
The most important thing in their line of work was not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked, especially when it involved matters concerning certain big shots. Sometimes, curiosity really could kill you.
"Captain, they're here." Accompanied by the words of a crew member beside him, the person in charge of the fleet picked up a Telescope and looked into the distance. He saw a huge Ship being pulled by several giant Goldfish, leaping down from the Waterfall of Wano Country.
Soon, it arrived in front of the fleet. When the two Ships were close together, a Fox Masked Man jumped from the Ship onto the Deck.
"You guys are really punctual." The Fox Masked Man looked at the Captain in front of him and said.
"Of course, after all, the reason we can become a leader in the Underworld business is because of our Reputation. We say three days delivery, and it's three days delivery, never even half a day late!" The Captain said, his face full of pride. This was also a display of Strength. After all, being able to prepare so many Weapons in a short time and deliver them within three days already said a lot.
"Let's check the Goods first." The Fox Masked Man said indifferently.
"No problem." As the Captain's voice fell, two crew members quickly came up carrying a Wooden Box. Then, they directly pried open the Wooden Box, pulled aside the Oilcloth wrapped inside, revealing brand-new Flintlock Guns.
The Fox Masked Man directly and casually pulled out a Gun from inside, briefly checked it, and after testing the Feel, threw the Gun to the Captain.
"Not bad." Then, he waved to the Ship behind him. Soon, People wearing Hungry Ghost Gang masks carried down several boxes of Gold Bar from the Ship.
"Count them." "No need, no need, we trust your Reputation." Looking at the Gold bars shining in the sunlight in the boxes, the person in charge of the fleet smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Then, pleasant cooperation. When we need to place an Order, we will look for you again." "No problem, Lord."
With the Money and Goods exchanged, the Ships of the two groups also sailed away from this Sea Area separately. Then, pulled by several giant Goldfish, the Ships directly climbed up the Waterfall, the only road to enter Wano Country.
"Captain, I'm back." On a Coast in White Dance, Simon said to Nicholas, who was sunbathing, while placing a stack of Newspapers he held in his hand on the table.
Speaking of which, due to Wano Country's special policies, Nicholas and the others hadn't had access to Newspapers for a long time. They didn't know if anything major had happened outside during this time.
Nicholas lay back on the Sun Chair, picked up the Newspaper, and began to read.
"Did everything go smoothly?" "Smoothly, and those guys seem to want to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with us, and specially sent us an extra ten thousand Lead Bullets."
"Hmm, you rest for a bit first. Afterwards, teach those guys the most basic Firearms operation methods as soon as possible. After all, it's okay for those guys to wield hoes and Scythes, but asking them to operate Firearms is a bit too much."
"Okay, I'll hurry." Simon said, then directly lay down on an empty Beach chair beside him, enjoying the rare tranquility.
"Oh?" A glance across, the content of the Newspaper surprised Nicholas.
"Former World Nobles Donquixote Homing's family was murdered in the North Blue, with no survivors."
In the World Economic Journal, Nicholas was stunned when he saw this News. He knew the real Reason for Homing's Death, but he didn't expect those Celestial Dragons to directly gloss over it in order to cover up the Truth.
Corresponding to this was the emergence of a new Pirate Crew named Donquixote in the North Blue, but this News was insignificant compared to other News.
"The Giant Warrior Pirates, which had disappeared for a hundred years, have set sail again. Captain 'Blue Ogre Dorry' and 'Red Ogre Brogy' both have a Bounty of 250 million Beli. Shortly after they set sail, they encountered the Giant Hunting Team composed of 500 Professional Bounty Hunter, but ultimately were no match for the combined forces of 'Blue Ogre Dorry' and 'Red Ogre Brogy', and the Bounty team suffered no survivors."
"Afterwards, the Blood Axe Pirates and the One-Eyed Pirates encountered the Giant Warrior Pirates, but were defeated by 'Blue Ogre Dorry' alone, with no survivors from either Pirate Crew. Later, they even directly defeated the Navy Fleet that came to encircle them, becoming the talk of the town for a time."
When Nicholas saw the Giant Warrior Pirates, he was surprised and also somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, after Brogy and Dorry led Oimo and Kasi to destroy Justice Island, they fled all the way back to Elbaf, the Giant Kingdom.
So what's the situation now? Did the Giants of Elbaf agree to let these guys set sail again? Aren't they afraid of retaliation from the World Government? Or did they make a new Agreement with the World Government? Nicholas felt that something was wrong.
However, these Things didn't have much to do with him. As for the other News on the Newspaper, it was also quite eye-catching to Nicholas. That was that the Roger Pirates, due to their Crew member Colonel Mu Lian, had a direct conflict with the Rising Sun Empire Army to which Colonel Mu Lian originally belonged. In the end, they completely annihilated the Rising Sun Empire Army and occupied its Royal Capital.
Nicholas narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, "Is Roger's final Navigation about to begin? Since it's so lively, why not make your last voyage even more turbulent?"
With this thought, Nicholas lowered his head and looked at the Den Den Mushi on the table beside him. Nicholas pondered for a moment, then dialed several Numbers in succession...
Marine Headquarters. Sengoku looked at the large number of News Documents gathered from the New World, the Grand Line, and the Four Seas on his desk, and couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
It could be said that the Sea has been particularly restless recently. First, Charlotte Linlin led the entire Charlotte Family in several Expeditions. Then, for some unknown Reason, the Roger Pirates, which had always been relatively calm, suddenly became active. The Golden Lion Pirates, who had lost Zephyr's supervision, were also constantly recruiting.
The Whitebeard Pirates also welcomed a lot of Fresh Blood: Marco the Phoenix, a Mythical Zoan, and Jozu, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Glint-Glint Fruit. Once these guys grow up, they will be forces to be reckoned with.
And the group of crazy Scientists recently recruited by the World Government even repeatedly requested the World Government and the Navy to join forces to capture Kaido, saying they wanted to do some Research. Damn it, capture and release, release and capture, what do they take the Navy for?
Moreover, because of this, Rumors of this guy's Immortality have already spread across the Sea.
And Nicholas and the Freedom Pirates, who caused a big Disturbance two years ago but have suddenly become silent, are unknown what they are plotting in secret. And there is also a group calling themselves the Revolutionary Army that suddenly emerged in the Four Seas in the past two years, causing trouble everywhere.
None of these guys can give him a moment of peace of mind.
