NOVEL NEXT Chapter 78: Chapter 86 Shipping King
Time passes slowly
Although everything seemed calm, the people of Water City 7 gradually realized something. There was no other way, as there were too many unfamiliar faces appearing on the island in recent days.
Although the Seven Water Capital is a shipbuilding island, it is not surprising to see some strangers, but there are too many of them. If you walk on the street casually, you can see seven or eight.
Some well-informed people knew the reason, but they did not run away. Firstly, the Shipwreck Island was a very independent island, and even if a fight broke out, the fighting would not affect where they lived. Secondly, if a huge pie fell on their heads, even if it was only a small amount, it would be enough for them to make a fortune.
But most people don't know this, and only associate it with Roger, the evil man.
The residence of the current mayor of the Seven Water City, Barbarof, is under tight security today, with countless soldiers armed with guns and cannons guarding it.
The reason is very simple. Just this morning, the seven major shipbuilding companies, which had never gotten along well with each other and could even be said to be mortal enemies, gathered together for the first time to discuss how to deal with the increasingly chaotic situation on the island due to the advent of the Great Pirate Era.
In the huge and empty round table conference room, smoke was everywhere.
Eight people were sitting around a huge round table, puffing smoke from cigars in their mouths.
They are: Marchimaqui of Marchi Shipyard and CMA CGM Torrea of CMA CGM.
Batobato Anil of the River Lobato Shipbuilding Company
Vastino Shipbuilding Company Yinyue Shipbuilding Company Yangming Deli Shipbuilding Company

Mayor of the Seven Waters: Babalaf
In addition, there is a sleeping Den Den Mushi placed in the empty space.
Seeing that everyone was finally there, Babaraf, the host here, raised his head slightly and spoke.
"It's really not easy. Since we separated 20 years ago, there have been very few opportunities to get together like this."
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Babalaf. The atmosphere became solemn at this moment, but in a moment, they suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, yeah, after twenty years of pretending, everyone has to pretend to be in a life-and-death struggle every day, it's really interesting." "Now I'm a little confused about whether we are friends or enemies."
"Come to think of it, Dafei, you seem to have taken away my business again recently."
"Hahahaha, it's obviously your own company's craftsmanship that's bad, so they came to me on their own initiative."
"Hey, although Lord Umit has ordered us not to kill each other, if you really make me angry, I will really kill you."
"If you can do it, just give it a try, la la la la."
Seeing that everyone looked like they were about to start a quarrel, Babarav looked indifferent and spoke coldly.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. In front of the 5 billion kelpies, no matter what conflicts you have, you should be able to put them aside." This time, everyone really calmed down.
"Five billion berries, what an attractive number, but can we really get it? They are not just any ordinary pirate group. Even a monster like Barrett can't destroy them. Can we do it?"
"Yeah, the Navy and the World Government have been acting strangely lately. After knowing that these guys were coming to our place, they actually chose to hide their heads and not come out. This is a rare thing."
"Yang Ming, if you don't want to join, you can withdraw, but the 5 billion berries will belong to us."
"Hahaha, Yiberi, even if the seven major shipping yards were united, that would still be more money than we could earn even if we worked hard for several years." "It's getting harder and harder to make money in this world. Not only have the prices of materials started to soar, but even the ship I use to transport materials has been badly damaged by pirates recently."
"The Navy and the World Government are becoming increasingly incompetent, but, coincidentally, our era has begun." "Hehehehehehe"
At this moment, the Den Den Mushi that was originally sleeping suddenly made a rumbling sound, which scared everyone present and made them silent instantly.
As the mayor, Babarav carefully pressed the answer button of Den Den Mushi.
Suddenly, in the quiet room where only breathing could be heard, a low snoring sound rang out. "Huluhu ...
In an instant, everyone stood up, saluted and greeted the Den Den Mushi respectfully.
"Long time no see, Lord Umit!!!"
"Huluhuhu, indeed, it has been twenty years. You have done a great job after we transformed from pirates to dark emperors." "You are too kind, Lord Umit. This is what we should do."
"Okay, everyone, please sit down. We don't have much time. Since the 5 billion berries have been delivered to us, there is no reason for us to give them to others."
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone sat back in their seats.
"Unfortunately, I am now in the New World. Because of the obstruction of the Red Earth Continent, I cannot rush here quickly. Fortunately, although the Red Earth Continent blocked me, it also blocked other people. Babaraf, tell me the information you know."
"As you command, Lord Umit."
Babaraf stood up, saluted to Umit's Den Den Mushi, and then looked at the other seven people.
"According to the intelligence we have received so far, our biggest competitors are the Germa Group, the Eight Treasures Navy, and the King of Loan Sharks." "The Germa Group has always been active as mercenaries around the world. The power and technology possessed by their leader Vinsmoke Judge cannot be underestimated. Therefore, it is expected that they will be the first to reach the Seven Water Capitals."
"Next is the Eight Treasures Navy. Their leader, Chiao Jiao, is a terrifying monster who can fight against the navy hero Garp. The violent pirate group represented by the Eight Treasures Navy is even more skilled. They rushed here from the New World as soon as they received the news. They are also the fastest."
"The last one is Feld, the King of Loan Sharks. Although he can't make it here and he's not good at fighting, he has hired a very vicious guy. We don't have any information about who he is, but he's said to be a monster."
"This is roughly the information, Lord Umit!!!" After Babaraf finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
It was obvious that all seven of them were shocked by such a terrifying lineup.
Such a terrifying force is more than enough to destroy the Seven Water Capital, not to mention a pirate group. As if sensing the surprise of his subordinates through the Den Den Mushi, Umit asked another question. "So, what about our strength?"
"We have found two groups of people who are very willing to cooperate with us. They are the flag hunters Achino family who have recently become famous in the Grand Line, and the treasure hunter Madtreje. According to the time, they should be here soon."
"Is that all? It sounds a bit weak!!!"
Compared to the three famous forces mentioned above, the two groups of guys mentioned by Babalaf are indeed a bit unsightly.
But at this moment, suddenly, countless gunshots and terrible shouts were heard outside. "Strange monster!"
"Run, you're going to melt." "Ah"
Everyone was shocked. Before they could react, they felt the temperature in the air rising rapidly. A guy emitting a body as hot and dazzling as the sun walked in.
"I seem to hear someone looking down on us."
