Pirates from island owner to king

This time, Ananda did not wait until the spherical lightning had sucked the clouds dry before pulling it down and launching the final attack.

When the spherical lightning gathered to reach a diameter of ten meters, ten times smaller than last time, it couldn't wait to activate it.

Although the spherical lightning was not as big as last time, the movement that erupted immediately after that was no smaller than last time.

Because this time, there was a collision with Whitebeard's attack.

Originally, the time was close to dark, and the sky dimmed.

In the next second, the entire deserted island appeared as if a sun had appeared.

Those who didn't know thought it was dawn.

The light lasted for a moment before completely dissipating.

During this period, terrifying shock waves swept across the island in all directions, setting off huge waves one after another.

After this time, the fighting movement finally stopped.

"The battle is over?"

Everyone looked at the uninhabited deserted island not far away, and as the smoke and dust scattered in the sky, they suddenly found that the island had disappeared.

I saw that in the middle of the island, there were still two places for Ananda and Whitebeard to settle down.

All other places have sunk below the sea level and were quickly submerged by the seawater pouring in.

In other words, an island really disappeared after a battle.

However, although it feels a little shocking, no one cares about the island.

It's just an uninhabited desert island, and if it's gone, it's gone.

They care more about Whitebeard and Ananda.

Whitebeard's sons saw that Whitebeard wasn't injured at all, at most his clothes were a little damaged, and he didn't breathe a word.

"Kulala, it was a joyous battle, Thor Ananda, I look forward to your further growth."

White Beard said happily, letting Marco and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they thought that their father would definitely win, they were also a little worried about whether their father would be injured after seeing Thor Ananda's big move.

Now, Whitebeard tells them with facts that Dad is still Dad.

Wang Hai also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ananda didn't seem to be injured except that his clothes were shattered and his physical strength was exhausted.

Compared with Marco and the others, although he has some confidence in Ananda, Ananda's opponent is recognized as the strongest in the world.

So, it's inevitable to be a little worried.

"The world is the strongest, I saw it today." Ananda said convincingly.

It was getting late, and everyone picked up Ananda and Whitebeard on board, and then returned to the island where they were stationed.

On the way back, Marco also specially checked Whitebeard's body.

Fortunately, the result is not bad, except for a little problem, the rest are old problems, no further deterioration.

In comparison, Ananda's side was not injured on the surface, but he was still attacked by Whitebeard's fruit ability inside, and there were some injuries.

Fortunately, none of the injuries are incurable.

With Ananda's physique, even without treatment, he can heal himself after a period of rest.

In general, even though an island was wiped out in this battle, both of them were actually restrained.

"It seems that Marco has contributed a lot to Whitebeard's ability to sit on the position of Pirate Emperor for so long."

Seeing that Marco used the fruit ability to treat White Beard and Ananda.

Ananda's injury healed immediately on the spot, and Wang Hai also realized the importance of Marco to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Marco is one of the crew members who followed Whitebeard earlier.

Not only strength, qualifications, and fruitful ability are important reasons for being able to secure the position of team captain.

Even though Whitebeard's physique can be called a monster, over the past few decades, he has experienced countless battles, big and small, plus the burden of the shaking fruit ability on his body.

If it hadn't been for Marco who has been helping with meticulous care and treatment, I am afraid that Whitebeard would have already fallen from his peak state.

Not to mention, he can still sit firmly on the strongest position in the world.

Not only Whitebeard, but other crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates are also beneficiaries.

Probably because of this, Marco's position on the ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, even if Kozuki Oden, who is stronger than Marco, joined in, could not be shaken.

After all, Kozuki Oden did not join in the name of his son.

Above more than a dozen captains, he took the second place, but he was still below Marco.

From Marco, Wang Hai thought of Dr. House who was still on Taoyuan Island.

It's a pity that the old man is getting old, and it's not suitable for him to come to Heping Island now, let alone travel with a boat.

The crew of One Piece, Kulokas, is also skilled in medicine, but unfortunately even Shanks failed to invite him successfully.

Kuleha, the doctor on Magnetic Drum Island, may have even more advanced medical skills. He is already over 100 years old, and his action and combat effectiveness are still not weak.

When Wang Hai was in the Paradise, he was also invited, but unfortunately he was not invited.

In addition to strong medical skills, you can also consider people with fruit abilities like Marco.

Surgery Luo should have eaten the fruits of the operation not long ago, and he is still wandering in Beihai, so he can try to recruit him. As for the hatred between him and Brother Ming, this is a problem.

In addition, in the original plot, it seems that the ability to heal fruit appeared.

Back on the island where he was stationed, Whitebeard asked someone to hold a banquet again.

Celebrate today's happy battle.

Although they are already the overlord of one party and have many countries under their protection, the Whitebeard Pirates are still like normal pirates, eager to hold banquets every day.

In this regard, Wang Hai was a little puzzled at first.

When I was in the paradise, I once met a pirate group who happened to be having a banquet, so I asked this question specially.

Then got the answer.

There are many reasons to throw a party.

On the one hand, it is because most of the people who became pirates were oppressed before.

Now that I have grabbed the money, I also want to experience the luxurious life of an aristocrat.

Of course, most of them don't know exactly what the life of an aristocrat is like.

Therefore, it is to have a banquet, eat large pieces of meat, and drink in large bowls.

On the other hand, being a pirate is a profession that risks losing one's head.

Who knows, one day they will die.

Therefore, if you have money, you will basically not save it or spend it, but try to eat and drink as much as possible.

Only when they are drunk can they sleep peacefully when night comes.

Of course, the Whitebeard Pirates are obviously different from ordinary pirates.

With White Beard's Sea God Needle, although they also need to maintain their territory and fight some other pirates, most of the time, their lives can still be guaranteed.

The reason why I celebrate when I am happy is more because I am used to it, and at the same time I am not very short of money.

No, it should be said that there is no shortage of supplies for the banquet.

Every time a banquet is held, it doesn't mean how exquisite food, wine, and how much money must be prepared.

As long as there is strong strength, a chef with good cooking skills, and basic cooking tools.

For a pirate group, even if they have no money, they can hold banquets every day.

Because they want ingredients, they can easily get them from the sea.

Even Neptunes are just a meal for the strong.

When he came to the island where the Whitebeard Pirates were stationed, Wang Hai also took a look. He found that the life of the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates was not that rich.

At least it has nothing to do with rich people.

Then he settled an account for the Whitebeard Pirates through the information he collected on his side, combined with what he learned from Marco.

He discovered that the Whitebeard Pirates charged a certain protection fee in the territory, basically they didn't do much business in person, and the protection fee was not much.

however.

These protection fees are almost enough to feed the entire Whitebeard Pirates and the families behind them.

The Whitebeard Pirates have a crew of over a thousand.

At the same time, there are dozens of pirate groups under its banner.

Although the pirate group under the banner does not need Whitebeard to send money, they can even receive the protection fees they handed over to their respective territories.

But the more than 1000 crew members, plus the families behind them, add up to only tens of thousands.

And they can't all rely on Whitebeard to support them, but they have their own jobs in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

More than 1000 crew members under the banner, medical expenses for each battle, weapon maintenance expenses, food and drink, etc.

It costs at least one billion Baileys every year.

Even if it is 50 billion, the protection fee collected by the Whitebeard Pirates should not exceed this amount.

But that's it, the Whitebeard Pirates don't seem to be rich.

Although there is no need to worry about food and drink, life has little to do with rich people.

Compared with Big Mom and Kaido, Whitebeard is really incomparable.

Big Mom and Kaido rely more on force to suppress the ruled on their respective territories.

Whitebeard is unwilling to do this, and he is not good at business development.

So, the source of money.

Apart from a part of it coming from protection fees, more of it actually came from robbing fellow pirates.

Knowing this situation, Wang Hai felt very speechless.

Although he can also see that Whitebeard and the others are really only good at fighting and killing, it is too difficult for them to manage and develop.

Moreover, they are unwilling to forcibly intervene in the management and development of various countries in the territory.

So, led to the current situation.

"So, the situation is like this, little brother Wang Hai, I know that you are good at business development, so I'll leave it to you in the future, just talk about it if you have anything to do."

On the third morning when he came to the island where the Whitebeard Pirates were stationed, Marco found Wang Hai and confessed the situation.

The reason why he worked with Wang Hai and worked so hard was because Ananda and Qiaozi became friends.

At the same time, he and Ananda helped the Fishman Island resolve the crisis.

Neptune and Whitebeard are good friends, friends of friends, and friends of course.

In addition, the most important thing is that Marco saw his business ability.

A clothing business is actually playing well, and it cooperates with Nine Snake Island to turn a deserted island into a prosperous island, which can earn tens of billions of dollars every year.

This is still just a few years into development.

The annual income of the Whitebeard Pirates adds up, and under normal circumstances, it is only about this much each year.

Of course, making money is just one thing.

Marco has always been aware of the various problems in the Whitebeard territory, and he also wants to develop.

However, don't know how to get started.

He also wants to make islands in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, like Little Nine Snake Island.

Even if it is only one tenth, or even a few tenths, of the prosperity of Little Nine Snake Island, then ordinary people in the territory will be able to live a good life.

It turned out that White Beard had been sending his portion of the money to his hometown in various ways to help them all these years.

The hometown of Whitebeard couldn't become a member of the world government because he couldn't pay the money in the sky.

It became a place where pirates and slave traders ravaged, and many people, like Whitebeard, became orphans.

Marco didn't know what to do at first, until he noticed Ananda and Little Nine Snake Island, so he started to pay attention.

period.

He also tried to imitate the Little Nine Snakes Island, transforming it in Whitebeard's territory.

They all failed, and it turned out that he and the other crew members were not suitable for this kind of thing.

After listening to Marco's frank words, Wang Hai was silent for a while.

To be honest, what Marco said was actually no different from pie in the sky to him.

It is a good thing for him to help the development of the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

On the surface, the Whitebeard Pirates and most of the people in the territory benefited the most in the end.

But in his view, it is actually a win-win situation.

after all.

According to the current situation, if he does not transform and develop the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, he will use the relationship of the Whitebeard Pirates to start business activities here.

In fact, you can't make much money.

Because those who have money here are only those rich and nobles, but these people are only a minority after all.

With the entire territory becoming richer, there will be a big gap in the money that can be earned in the end.

What Wang Hai is not sure about is whether Goldfinger will reward him with lawful value after helping the Whitebeard Pirates develop their territory.

Of course, even if there is no reward for Goldfinger, he will still do it, just as making money, while deepening the relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates, and at the same time cultivating a larger market.

and.

Wang Hai had a bolder idea.

"Marco, I have no reason to refuse this matter, because it can also make money for me, and I can also help you as a friend."

Wang Hai considered his words, and said under Marco's expectant eyes.

"I knew you would not refuse. From today onwards, you are the best friend of our Whitebeard Pirates."

Marco said happily.

Wang Hai thought to himself, I hope that Marco will know his thoughts in the future and will not break up with him.

"Marco, since you have already tried and failed, then I'll just say it, if you want me to change, I need more permission from you, and even Captain Whitebeard..."

Wang Hai started to fool Marco and said.

He felt that he had a problem with trying to recruit or poach the corners of the Whitebeard Pirates before.

He always felt that it was impossible for the Whitebeard Pirates to join him.

At least, before Whitebeard died, there was basically no such possibility.

But now, he saw a possibility.

He found that the position of the Whitebeard Pirates in the territory was only providing military shelter.

Because they were unwilling to exploit the civilians in the territory, and they didn't even touch the nobles and rich people who were not bad.

Therefore, the Whitebeard Pirates occupied this territory in name.

But in fact, in Wang Hai's view, it is more like a care home for everyone in this territory.

That's right.

Although it sounds a little ugly, it is actually true.

Wang Hai's thoughts are not complicated. He feels that this territory is too loose, and if it wants to develop, it must be twisted into one rope.

In this way, he is completely able to come to occupy the magpie's nest and enter the territory quietly.

At that time, he will become the ruler of this territory, the manager, the Whitebeard Pirates, and still provide military protection for this territory.

In other words, within his master, the Whitebeard Pirates transformed into an army of this territory.

This requires a subtle process, don't wait for Whitebeard to react and get mad at him.

However, Wang Hai felt that once he made this territory prosperous, peaceful and stable, White Beard would probably just accept his fate.

Just thinking about it, Wang Hai felt a little excited.

After all, if this plan is successful, it can directly make him fat and save ten years of struggle.

Almost, no less than a snake swallowing an elephant.

You know, although the territory occupied by the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World is not as exaggerated as one-third, there is still one-tenth.

Moreover, there are many countries with suitable and valuable islands for living, and the population may be at least tens of millions.

Such a territory, as long as it is in the bag in the end, the benefits it can bring to him will probably exceed the original plan of Taoyuan Island.

Of course, he just adjusted the plan, not directly changed the plan.

It is safer to be prepared for everything, and the development plan of Taoyuan Island will continue.

It can be used as a backup to develop in the dark.

The territory of the Whitebeard Pirates is on the bright side.

Even if the development of the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates ultimately fails, or is unsatisfactory, Taoyuan Island can still be used as a backup.

Of course, if both are successful, it will be double the surprise and double the happiness.

It also allowed him to take a big bite out of the fat meat of the World Government when the protagonist Wang Lufei appeared on the stage more than ten years later and officially stirred up the situation.

At that time, even if you can't sweep the entire sea, there is basically no problem if you want to take most of the new world.

Just thinking about it, Wang Hai was a little excited and impatient, and wanted to call Chuanpu over immediately to discuss a plan for the development of the Whitebeard Pirates' territory.

"There is nothing wrong with what you said, and I think my father will agree."

After being fooled by Wang Hai for a while, even Marco is considered smart and calm, but he was still fooled by Wang Hai in the field he is not good at.

The main reason is that Wang Hai, in addition to wanting to change the way, to include the Whitebeard Pirates, together with their territory, in such a big plan.

He has no lies about how the territory will develop and what the prospects will be.

Although Whitebeard is the strongest in the world, he obviously didn't see anything wrong with this kind of thing.

When Wang Hai and Marco found him, he didn't think much about it. He just asked Wang Hai to give him a guarantee that during the development process, civilians would not be exploited.

In the end, the common people, together with them, will also benefit and live a better life.

Of course, Wang Hai agreed without hesitation, and this was the result he really wanted.

For him, only in this way can he benefit the most.

After getting his assurance, Whitebeard also agreed, expressing that he would fully support him.

Wang Hai could also see that White Beard didn't worry about him because he had absolute confidence in his own strength.
