Chapter 19
Chapter 19:
And if Cyrus does eventually become a member of the Penggli family, then Giotto will certainly not give up his family.
Therefore, when Doflamingo attacked Dressrosa, the Pengele family would inevitably attack. There is just one point that Giotto doubts, that is, if there is a badge of the Pengele family flashing on Dressrosa in the future, will the clown still have the courage to take a shot at this country?
When he walked out of the arena, Giotto saw King Riku who had been waiting here, and looking at the other party’s expression, he thought that he already knew his identity.
It’s normal. After all, the reward is 970 million. As long as you pay attention to the news, you can see yourself on the reward order.
“Your Excellency Peng Lie, thank you for unraveling Cyrus’s heart. To be honest, I really worry that he will keep himself imprisoned in the cage. It’s fine now, and it won’t be long before I can find an opportunity to let him return. into this world.”
The moment he saw Giotto, King Riku expressed his gratitude. Over the years, he and Cyrus have actually been good friends.
The story of these two big men in the original plot can be perfectly summed up in one sentence: I treat you as a brother, but you actually want to be my son-in-law?
“Aren’t you afraid of me? Your Excellency King Liku.” Giotto looked at the king in front of him strangely. It stands to reason that he would be somewhat apprehensive in the face of a person with a bounty of up to 970 million.
But he didn’t find such emotion from King Liku, as if the other party regarded him as a non-threatening person.
“Hahaha, I’m not a king who doesn’t know the facts. Although the Pengele family is rewarded by the navy, it is completely different from those pirates who have done many evils. I have a certain understanding of the situation on Seiken Island, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. , and those pirates who wanted to loot were all dealt with by the Pengele family. For the people of Seiken Island, your family is like a patron saint!”
King Liku laughed, and he was really shocked when he first discovered Giotto’s identity, but after thinking about it, he didn’t feel anything: “To be honest, even I am quite envious that the people of Seiken Island can With you guarding, after all, the sea is very chaotic now, even Dressrosa has encountered several blatant attacks.”
“If you need it, I don’t mind lending you the badge of Pengele.” Giotto said with a smile.
“Forgive me, no matter how Dressrosa is also a member of the World Government, if you blatantly seek your help, it will be somewhat unreasonable.”
Dressrosa is one of the few countries to join the world government in the New World. Why is it said to be rare?
Because the new world is a paradise for pirates, the real power here is the pirates, not the navy under the world government, so even if there are pirates looting countries here, it is difficult for the navy to support those countries. Even support is very risky.
If the navy dispatches insufficient combat power, it is very likely that it will not be able to deal with the pirates that are roaming the new world. But if they send too much combat power, it will attract the attention of the big pirates such as Whitebeard, Kaido, BIG?MOM, etc. Who knows whether the navy is here to support those countries, or to deal with themselves?
Especially now at this critical juncture, the battles within the New World Pirates are extremely frequent, and no one can guarantee that the navy will take this opportunity to step in.
Therefore, many countries in the New World are aware that it is better to seek the protection of a big pirate to seek the help of the world government to become one of the alliance countries.
“I’m going to spend a few days in Dressrosa, it won’t affect it, right?”
Giotto didn’t forget that he came out to be lazy this time. Although things were done, he wouldn’t go back so quickly to face the pile of documents. Although Dressrosa is not the toy capital of later generations, it also has its own style. As a leisure and entertainment, you can still stay for a while.
“Of course no problem, if you need anything you can tell me at any time, after all…”
“n Peng!”
Before the words were finished, the sound of a shell exploding entered my ears. Obviously, another pirate was looking for trouble, but it was not a powerful guy. It could be solved with Dressrosa’s own army. But there will be some casualties.
Suddenly, Giotto’s eyes lit up, and he turned to look at King Riku: “Your Excellency King Riku, you said that the hero who helped Dressrosa defeat the pirates, is the basic necessities of life free these days?”
“That’s definitely fine, it’s just…”
“No problem is enough, leave these pirates to me to solve!”.
Chapter forty-eight people who talk about business
With just one punch, the pirate ships that attacked Dressrosa were destroyed, and the flames burning above the sea proved the traces of their existence.
I have to say that the ability to burn the burning fruit is really useful. If you don’t eat the burning fruit, if you want to get rid of these pirate ships quickly, Giotto probably has to use a big move like XBURNER. Now it’s convenient. One Fire Fist went to clear the miscellaneous soldiers directly. If there is any left, then make up another Fire Fist.
And this shot is not only easy and quick, but also very handsome!
Just now, Giotto leaped into the air for life, and then devoured all the pirates with one punch with a violent flame. The words “God descends to earth” are no exaggeration to describe it.
Of course, this was also because the pirates who came to attack were too weak, and Giotto really wondered, how did a pirate group like this survive in the new world?
Even if you survive, you still have the guts to attack a country? Really never died!
But then again, these pirates are really nothing to him, but to those ordinary people, these pirates can easily take away everything from them
of.
After getting rid of those pirates, the next thing is logical.
As a hero who protected the people of Dressrosa, Giotto can be said to have spent King Liku’s money to enjoy a leisurely life in this country, and he doesn’t need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation at all.
He couldn’t help but sigh, the life of the rich is really good!
“Blood…Blood…”
Just as Giotto was enjoying his leisurely life, the phone bug in his arms rang. When he took out the phone bug, the phone bug turned into Ribone: “Giotto, are you in Dressrosa now?”
“That’s right, what happened?” Giotto’s expression suddenly became serious, and Ribone called himself suddenly, and there must be something serious.
“Verdi has arrived at Seiken Island, but his research requires a lot of money. Simply put, the family’s funds are still very short. Although Qingtiedao and
Mining of Shiraishi Island’s minerals has already begun, but it will take some time before it becomes profitable. ”
Giotto’s expression turned ugly at the mention of the money. At this time, Ribone also continued: “In addition to the fact that the family has recruited a group of new members, if the various investments and expenses are counted together, the remaining funds in the family can last up to seven months, so we need to A lot of money, and the best way to get that money is to…”
“The gold of the empty island is the easiest way to obtain funds, but there is a problem, the gold that can be brought from the empty island every time is not much, at most, it is the same as before. One billion baileys. Support the family normally. , but there is no problem, if you want to invest in Verdi’s research…”
After a short pause, Giotto asked, “Speaking of which, how much money does Verdi’s research need?”
“The initial basic investment is conservatively estimated to require 5 billion baileys. There is no way to determine the follow-up investment, but Verdi said that if he does not even have 5 billion baileys, he cannot even start his own research.”
“What the **** is he trying to study! It’s five billion bellies at every turn, and he doesn’t know how much money it is!” Giotto roared in the restaurant. He would never have imagined that he would break the Defense turned out to be because of money.
“I want to study the optical camouflage technology that can be used in this world, the ring that can replace the death gas pill to activate the death gas mode, and the box weapon suitable for the boss and the guardians. The first two alone need a lot of financial support, Five billion baileys did not include the research on box weapons, if it were also included, at least ten billion start-up funds would be required.”
Verdi’s voice came from the phone bug.
Giotto almost collapsed because of his remarks, although the things he researched were indeed very useful, not to mention the optical camouflage technology, the technology that can be invisible is very useful in many aspects.
And the ring that can replace the death energy pill to activate the death energy mode can be said to be crucial to the improvement of the overall strength of the family, and this kind of ring can also be used to use the box weapon.
The last box weapon that is suitable for oneself and the guardian is the most important, which can directly improve the strength of oneself and the guardian.
But ten billion…
Where can I find 10 billion Baileys for you!
After taking a few breaths in a row, Giotto calmed down: “Isn’t this call to tell me that I need funds?”
“Oh? I thought you would be frightened by 10 billion, but I didn’t expect to listen to reason.”
Ribon was slightly surprised, and then continued: “In fact, we have already figured out how to obtain these funds, but the specific things still need to be decided by you as the leader. There is a person who wants to do business with us. We’re about to arrive in Dressrosa, so let’s discuss this matter directly with him.”
Hearing this, Giotto was slightly taken aback, doing business with the Pengele family?
Is there such a person in the sea?
“Okay, okay, but you have to tell me first, who is the guy who wants to do business?” Giotto didn’t pay attention to so many details. If there is a business that can get a lot of money, naturally it can be done. of.
“That guy also took the initiative to contact us, because he found out about the gold you transported from the sky island before. He called himself Umit, a person from the dark world,
According to the news that Bell has been asked to investigate in the past two days, this guy has a very large amount of energy in the dark world. ”
Ocean King Umit!
One of the emperors of the dark world, but I don’t know if there is such a title now, but it is certain that Umit does have a huge power, can stand firm in the dark world, and create his own power , it has already shown that this person is not simple. Maybe he doesn’t have any strong combat power, but in other respects, it is enough for no one to underestimate.
“I know, since it’s him, then this business really needs to be discussed. In addition to obtaining funds, maybe he can let the family really set foot in the dark world through him, and have a certain right to speak in it. It will also help a lot in the future.”
Giotto’s expression immediately turned serious.
Chapter 49 The Sea King Umit
In a luxurious restaurant in Dressrosa, Giotto sat alone in a chair, and the table in front of him was full of food and wine. It was obvious that he was here waiting for someone to arrive.
This restaurant has been completely wrapped up by Giotto. During the day today, not even one of the waiters will stay here. The chef left after finishing the food. After all, for the upcoming meeting here, ordinary people are not allowed to be present, and people in the dark world are not so easy to contact.
What’s more, what Giotto wants to contact this time is an extraordinary mission in the dark world, the sea king! Deep ocean current Umit!
“It’s the first time we met, and it’s an honor to be able to meet a big man who is famous in the new world, the leader of the Pengele family!”
At this moment, a bearded man wearing a captain’s hat slammed the door open, walked in and sat directly opposite Giotto: “Then, I shouldn’t need to say those nonsense, His Excellency Penggli I should have already You know what I’m here for, right?”
“My family just told me that you were going to talk about a business, but didn’t tell me the specific situation. So, even if it’s nonsense, please explain it clearly. You who specialize in transportation business, why did we Pengge in the morning? The Lie family?” Giotto looked at Umit calmly, doing business with people in the dark world, you need to be careful no matter what.
These guys are no easier to deal with than cunning devils!
Especially someone like Umit who has reached a high position, if he is a little careless, he might eat you with your skin and bones!
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll just say it straight. Not long ago, His Excellency Penggli I sold a large amount of gold, with a total value of 1.7 billion baileys. This is a lot of wealth! And according to the information I got here, The origin of this batch of gold is a secret. After many speculations, the place where your Excellency is most likely to get this gold is actually related to a fairy tale book.
Umit confidently said what was in his mind: “Rolando, the big talker, a story about Venbra Rolando, the admiral of the expedition team and botanist in the Kingdom of Lubnir in the North Sea 400 years ago. Mentioned a very interesting city, the golden town of Sandora. In the book, it was mentioned that the location of this golden town was on Gaya Island, and the last location of His Excellency Penggli I before he obtained that batch of gold happened to be. That is… Gaya Island!”
“I am a very realistic person, and I never believe in fairy tales, but when many coincidences point to the same place, even I can’t believe that it is really just a coincidence. So… Your Excellency Penggli I, When you were on Gaya Island, you did discover the lost golden land in fairy tales, right?”
Giotto couldn’t help but look at the man in front of him when he said these words. It seems that it is not an easy task to be able to take a high position in the dark world. Through such seemingly unrelated information, the truth can be deduced, and the fairy tale that no one else can believe can be believed.
“You said it was a fairy tale, so why do you still believe in that illusory thing?” Giotto looked at the man in front of him strangely and asked softly.
“It’s a fairy tale, but it’s also history. There’s not much difference between the two. Anyway, they’re all things we’ve only heard about but haven’t seen, aren’t they? Having said that, His Excellency Penggli I didn’t deny the Golden Land just now. The existence of , that is to say, the Pengele family does hold the coordinates of the golden town of Shandora, right?”
Umit kept speculating on Giotto’s psychology. His eyes were fixed on the other’s face, and he judged the other’s thoughts through the changes in some facial details.
“So what? Could it be that you want to **** the Golden Land from me?”
Giotto suddenly exuded a coercion, his expression remained flat, his eyes locked on Umit.
“Of course I wouldn’t have such a dangerous idea. I’m still very aware of the strength of the Pengele family. It’s not a wise choice to provoke a strong enemy for myself. It’s not a wise choice to do business. isn’t it?”
Umit smiled and said, “Let’s get to the point! Recently, the Pengele family has just won the Qingtie Island and Baishi Island. Development and expansion obviously requires a lot of money. It is precisely because of this that your Excellency Some of the gold will be taken out and sold. But two problems will arise in the process…”
“First, the number of shipments is limited, and it is difficult to fill the vacancy of your family’s development funds in a short period of time. Second, the discovery of such a huge amount of gold will also cause unnecessary trouble to your family. You know, Money can easily make some people crazy, and even the prestige of the Pengele family may not deter everyone.
Hearing this, Giotto nodded involuntarily.
He had to admit that both of what Umit said made a lot of sense. The Golden Country Sandora is on the empty island. Every time he transports it, it is quite troublesome, time-consuming and laborious, and if it is noticed that the Pengele family has a large source of gold, it will indeed attract the attention of many greedy people.
The more important point is that the development of the family now requires a lot of funds, and Verdi alone needs to invest at least 5 billion Baileys!
“Let’s be honest, Umit, what do you want to do?” Giotto didn’t intend to betray the guy in front of him.
“It’s very simple, I can help the Pengele family transport and sell gold, but I need to occupy half of it!”
Umit was completely a lion, and he wanted to get half of the gold in the Golden Country in one breath.
At this moment, a cold light flashed in Giotto’s eyes, and the icy and biting breath enveloped Umit in an instant, and then a low voice slowly came out of his mouth: “Umit, Do you know? Although you have arranged more than 60 people outside the restaurant, I can completely solve them together with you.”
“I believe it! People who can get out of the hands of Whitebeard and BIG?MOM, of course, have such strength, but at the same time, I also believe that your Excellency will not do this, right?”
Umit is very confident in his judgment, also because he has grasped the fact that the Pengele family needs funds now, and he is definitely the best choice for this business.
Because he is in charge of many shipping businesses!
“Three percent, this is my bottom line, if
“Deal! Hope we have a happy cooperation!”
Before Giotto could finish speaking, Umit agreed.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Giotto always felt as if he was still asking for a higher price. Although it was reduced from 50% to 30%, why did he always feel that he was at a loss?
Chapter 50 Letter of Help
Once the business negotiation with Umit is concluded, as long as the gold from the sky island is transported down, the family funding problem can be resolved to a certain extent. At the same time, Giotto also used part of the power of Umit to let the Pengele family officially step into the dark world, but it was only a step.
Giotto also left Dressrosa and returned to Sequen after agreeing on business with Umit.
Now the main development direction of the family is the minerals of Qingtie Island and Shiraishi Island, and then the technical department headed by Werdy and Irie Masaichi, there is no extra energy to manage the dark world.
Also because of this situation, Giotto felt that the family is not enough, and it is obviously unrealistic to rely on the system to unlock people to have enough development in this world.
Therefore, he also began to consider some people who are native to this world and can be included in the family, similar to Enel and Cyrus, who are talented enough.
“Chief of the first generation, is there anything important to come to me suddenly? Hee hee hee.”
Belphegor opened the door of Giotto’s office and walked in slowly.
After seeing this guy, Giotto put down the pen in his hand, then handed the full paper to Bell, and then said: “You are in charge of the recent intelligence, right? Except for normal intelligence gathering. In addition, pay attention to the people on this list, and report to me as soon as there is news.”
Belphegor took the list and looked at the names carefully, and then he realized that…
Almost don’t know one!
That’s right, he almost doesn’t know any of the guys on this list, and he has never heard of that!
What Rob Luigi, Boya Hancock, Jinbei, Trafalgar Law, Gilder Tezzolo, don’t even know which gutter the mouse is hiding in, why does the leader of his own family pay attention to this? some people?
And the only name he’s ever seen on the list is Nicole Robin, the devil’s daughter who was offered a reward of seventy-nine million at the age of eight. Such a person seemed to Belle.
worthy of attention.
Destroying six naval battleships at such a young age is very likely to be a killing genius who has a good look at him. If he is cultivated well, he should be able to become a good fighting force.
It’s not clear if Robin knows what Bell thinks of him, whether there will be a creature called alpaca running back and forth in his heart…
“If I have free time, I will pay attention to some news about these people. Is there anything else that needs to be explained?” Bell put away the list. Although he did not understand the actions of his leader, it was the leader’s decision after all. He just needs to do it.
