Baltimore Island.
Several cargo ships, fully loaded with goods, broke through the ice and slowly sailed onto the island.
Dufeld, the king of loan sharks, stands at the bow of the ship, cigar in mouth, gazing into the distance.
"Damn it, what kind of weather is this? How could the Beasts Pirates have chosen such a place?"
But who cares? I'm just doing business here. I came in person to show my sincerity for this first collaboration. I'll skip it next time.
It's so damn cold.
The cold of Baltimore Island exceeded Reilly's expectations.
Lei Luo planned to recruit and train soldiers here, but the cold weather was not conducive to his plans.
He then considered getting Quinn to restart the original Vegapunk large heating furnace project.
After reviewing it, Quinn stated that it wasn't a technological problem; the most important thing was funding.
Haha, funds? The Beasts Pirates are so poor they only have money left.
Du Field had previously funded MADS for weapons research and was acquainted with Quinn and Stussy.
Rello then had Quinn contact Feld to procure all the materials needed to build the large heating furnace, along with some other supplies, and send them over.
Lei Luo needs to train his troops, and training requires a lot of meat to fill their bodies.
This is a remote and impoverished area where the snow never melts. Even if they tried to buy it, or even rob it, the island's supplies would be limited.
This is why, even though the New World is raging, no pirates are occupying it.
Lei Luo had no choice but to find another way and have it delivered.
After the ship docked, Feld stopped smoking his cigar, put his hands in his pockets, and swaggered off the ship with his men.
Jhin and Quinn were already waiting there. Feld greeted Quinn with a smile: "Sashibridah, Quinn."
Quinn, with a cigar in his mouth, smiled and said, "Indeed."
Jin said calmly, "Let's go. The captain and first mate are waiting for you at the research institute ahead."
After saying that, Jin ignored Feld's reaction and turned to lead the way.
"How ruthless!" Feld didn't mind, and followed after making a sarcastic remark.
As a businessman, he has dealt with all kinds of people.
Quinn exhaled a puff of smoke: "That's just how he is."
Inside the research institute, Kaido and Rayleigh sat on the sofa, their arms outstretched on the edge, looking like big shots.
Stussy obediently made the tea, and after it was brewed, she took the tea and snuggled into Lei Luo's arms.
Feld followed Jhin to the research institute, and upon seeing this scene, he rubbed his eyes vigorously in disbelief.
Wait, is that Stussy? Or has Vegapunk successfully created clones?
Stussy heard the sound, looked up, and waved with a smile: "Hey, Feld, it's Sassi Bruida!"
Feld rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure there was nothing wrong with them: "Long time no see... Stusi, what's wrong with you...?"
He found it hard to reconcile the docile woman before him with the shrewd and ruthless Stusi he remembered.
Quinn laughed heartily from the side: "Felder, don't be surprised, Stussy is now our first mate's woman."
Feld swallowed hard, quickly concealing his surprise and forcing a smile as he stepped forward:
"Congratulations! Mr. Lei Luo is truly remarkable to have Miss Stussy so docile!"
That's incredibly audacious! You dare to mess with a woman with a white beard!
I'd call you the strongest man in the world!
While Feld was lost in thought, he didn't forget to greet Kaido, "Mr. Kaido!"
Kaido nodded expressionlessly and arrogantly: "Yes, have a seat."
Raylo invited Jhin and Quinn to sit down as well, and Stussy got up from Raylo's arms and made tea for everyone.
“Ms. Stussy, I can do it myself.” Feld quickly picked up the teacup with both hands.
He wouldn't dare put on airs in front of Kaido and Leeroy.
The king of loan sharks has money but no real power, and besides, he's here to do business, isn't he?
Make money, not shabby.
Lei Luo took a sip of hot tea and asked with a smile, "Mr. Feld, did you bring everything?"
Feld put down his teacup and patted his chest: "Don't worry, Mr. Reilly, all the experimental materials, meat, vegetables, clothing and daily necessities are readily available."
Lei Luo nodded slightly in satisfaction: "That's good. If there are any further needs, I'll have to trouble you again."
Feld nodded hurriedly: "No trouble at all, it's my honor to cooperate with the Beasts Pirates."
They were very humble, so Lei Luo wouldn't push his luck; face is something you give each other.
He chuckled and said, "Don't talk about honor or not, it's just cooperation, a mutually beneficial thing."
“Yes, yes, Mr. Lei Luo is right. I’ll have my men bring the supplies over right away,” Feld echoed.
"Okay, Jhin, go keep an eye on things. Stusi, settle the bill with Boss Feld."
Chapter 28 Someone Brings a Pillow When You're Sleepy
Now that Feld's supplies have arrived, the Beasts Pirates should naturally begin their operations.
Queen buried himself in the laboratory to continue researching the giant heater, while Kaido and Raelo took King, Englararic, and Matitau to the town to recruit crew members.
Faced with pele and food, it's hard for the residents of Baltimore Island, whose situation is similar to that of exile in Ningguta, not to be tempted.
People who were starving, cold, and freezing all year round rushed to join the Beasts Pirates.
Kaido and Leylo responded that the more the merrier.
Of course, the Beasts Pirates wouldn't want someone who is physically weak.
But it's not useless; they can get into the factory!
Making the best use of resources, Raylo didn't waste labor. He had Queen provide the blueprints, and the Beasts Pirates funded the construction of the factory.
Weapons factories and shipyards.
Once the factory is completed, the local natives will be able to work there and enjoy a happy 996 lifestyle.
That's true happiness, without the quotation marks.
On the resource-scarce island, there was a job that allowed them to make a living, and the local residents were all grateful to the Beasts Pirates.
At the same time, Raylor also asked Feld to keep an eye on the Navy's news in the New World.
The Beasts Pirates have repeatedly humiliated the World Government and the Navy; they won't let them off easily.
However, in the New World waters, Raylo is not afraid of the navy.
Unlike the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line, the New World is now firmly controlled by pirates.
If the navy were to enter, it would be like a beautiful woman stripping naked—quite eye-catching, making it extremely difficult for them to move forward.
Feld agreed without hesitation to accept the offer from the Beasts Pirates, their major client.
A certain sea area in the New World.
A cruise ship flying the World Government flag and three warships are surrounded by several pirate ships and are under heavy artillery fire.
The person who dared to act so brazenly was none other than Bundy Wald, known as the "Destroyer of the World".
Wald crossed his arms, admiring the warships and Celestial Dragon ships being bombed in front of him, a mocking smile on his lips.
The reason he didn't leave the field was because he enjoyed the cat-and-mouse thrill.
Bingjack, with an IV drip attached, stood on Wald's shoulder, looking at his brother's frantic expression, and spoke with slight worry:
"Wald, this looks like a Celestial Dragon's ship. Attacking them will get us into big trouble."
Wald sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? I am 'World Destroyer' Bundy Wald."
"Everything that stands in my way will be destroyed!"
He is not afraid of any world government or navy, and would even be happy if they offered a high reward for his services.
In the world of One Piece, bounty amounts represent fame and strength, and he doesn't consider himself inferior to Roger, Whitebeard, and Shiki.
A madman has a group of madmen under his command. Wald's men not only showed no respect for the Celestial Dragons, but also laughed triumphantly.
Opportunities to attack Celestial Dragons without restraint are rare!
At this moment, their hearts were filled with an almost fanatical worship of their captain.
On the warship, the distress calls from the Navy and CP agents were almost worn out.
Unlike the Beasts Pirates' obscure skull and crossbones flag, this "World Destroyer" is renowned throughout the seas.
Mary Geoise, between powers.
"This is bullying!"
Saturn Saint Satan slammed his fist on the table in anger: "We haven't even caught the Beasts Pirates yet, and now the Ward Pirates have appeared! What do these pirates take the Celestial Dragons for?!"
"Lawless! Lawless!"
The other four stars were also furious. As Celestial Dragons themselves, they would naturally defend the Celestial Dragons' supreme rights unconditionally.
Nasujiro slammed his demon sword heavily against the ground: "Call back! Call back!"
Upon receiving the distress call, they bypassed the admiral and directly ordered the nearest admiral, Sengoku, to provide assistance.
There are priorities.
Saint Isolde has already fallen, but this one has not.
Furthermore, unlike the Beasts Pirates, Bondi Wald's attack was known to almost everyone!
He called Kong over just to vent his frustrations.
With the Celestial Dragons being attacked by pirates one after another, Kong, as the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, bears an inescapable responsibility!
Meanwhile, on a warship en route to Baltimore Island, Sengoku put down his phone, beckoned a navy officer, and ordered him to change course and provide support.
Immediately, Zhan Guo let out a long sigh.
This era has completely gone out of control!
Rocks kills a Marine Admiral, the Rocks Pirates attack the Celestial Dragons at God Valley, the Beasts Pirates attack the Celestial Dragons, and Bondi Wald also attacks the Celestial Dragons!
Things that had never happened in eight hundred years were happening one after another in this era.
Can he really bring justice to the world?
No, it definitely can!
Sengoku clenched his fists, his eyes resolute, and his Conqueror's Haki erupted involuntarily, flashing dark red lightning.
He will surely end this crazy era!
When Sengoku rushed to the scene, all the Celestial Dragons' ships and warships had already sunk to the bottom of the sea.
But Bondi Wald did not leave; he arrogantly waited in the same spot.
Zhan Guo rubbed his throbbing temples in pain.
Okay, he died again.
Going back will get me in trouble; it's a thankless and arduous task.
Moreover, he couldn't go back directly; he had to fight Bondi Wald to uphold the Celestial Dragons' last shred of dignity.
A serene and vast Buddha light slowly illuminated the entire sea, and the giant Buddha slapped its palm towards Bondi Wald...
Soon after, news of the World Destroyer Bondi Wald killing a Celestial Dragon and battling Marine Admiral Sengoku spread throughout the entire seas.
Thanks to these two major events, Bondi Wald's bounty once soared to 3 billion Berries, approaching that of the three great heroes Roger, Shiki, and Whitebeard.
Inside the Baltimore Institute, Rello was engrossed in reading a newspaper.
What a magnificent ocean!
