One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 7

Stussy's lips curled up as she walked up and took Lei Luo's hand, revealing a charming smile: "Then I'll have to take good care of you, First Mate."

Damn, was that done on purpose?

Shake hands with the first mate, not the captain.

A woman who loves to play tricks!

Kaido ignored Stussy's little tricks and then extended an invitation to Queen behind him, "Queen, why don't you join the Beasts Pirates too?"

Quinn, with a cigar dangling from his mouth, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm just here at your invitation to equip your pirate ship with weapons."

Before Kaido could even express his regret, Queen changed the subject: "However, if it's really as you said in the Den Den Mushi, having a lot of Berries to support my various research projects isn't out of the question."

Lei Luo raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Do we need to verify your credentials?"

"So that's true," Queen's eyes lit up. "You have to show me the strength of your Beasts Pirates, right?"

"Oh lo lo lo lo lo..."

Kaido laughed heartily, "No problem, follow me!"

Stussy watched with great interest, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

She was also there for Pelé, but she couldn't say it; that would make her ulterior motives too obvious.

The group arrived together at a room on the pirate ship. Raylo nodded slightly to Jin, who then opened the boxes containing Berries one by one.

As box after box was opened, a total of nine billion Berries filled the room, almost blinding Quinn and Stussy.

Quinn opened his mouth wide, his cigar fell to the ground, and he seemed to want to say something but didn't know what to say.

Are they that rich?

With lightning speed, Lei Luo stomped out the cigar.

Preventing fires is everyone's responsibility!

Stussy was breathing heavily, his eyes fixed greedily on Pele in front of him, silently calculating how much money he had.

Kaido's really something!

They've only been apart for a short time, yet he's already amassed so much money. I've never heard of him robbing gold from the sky.

Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Kaido secretly mocked them in his heart: "Country bumpkins."

He had selectively forgotten the expression on his face when he first saw the Golden City.

Kaido grinned smugly, "Hee hee hee hee... How about it, are you satisfied?"

Quinn lit another cigar, took a deep drag to calm himself, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. "Can I use these for experiments?"

Before Kaido and Leylo could reply, Stussy glared fiercely at Queen.

It was as if he had already claimed the money for himself, only to have it stolen by Quinn.

Kaido nodded: "That's right."

Lei Luo added, "That's not all. Our wealth is far greater than you can imagine. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The captain's promise on the phone that he could support you in doing any experiments you want was not just empty talk."

Queen's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Okay! I'll join the Beasts Pirates!"

Kaido and Rayleigh exchanged a smile, both agreeing that Queen's addition was a significant boost to the Beasts Pirates' strength.

Leaving aside combat capabilities, their research and development capabilities alone are a major asset.

Welcome to the Beasts Pirates!

Stussy bit his lip, his greed intensifying, his mind racing with thoughts.

What treasure did this group find? How dare they make such a boast!

Stussy managed to tear his gaze away from Pele and forced a calm smile.

We mustn't give ourselves away; we mustn't let them suspect anything.

A small leak will sink a great ship!

We need to figure out exactly where their wealth comes from before we can see if there's an opportunity to take it all at once.

But the thought of this white, plump Bailey being used for scientific research by that fat man made Stussy's heart bleed.

Stussy's beautiful eyes darted around, her gaze returning to Lero. She clearly remembered the undisguised desire in the first mate's eyes when he looked at her just now.

It turns out that all men are the same!

No, it should be said that his charm was so great that even Whitebeard couldn't resist it.

Moreover, this first mate is so young, it's only natural that he couldn't resist her charm.

Kaido seems to have great respect for this vice-captain. So, is it possible to obtain a huge amount of money through this vice-captain?

Even further, how could we find out how they acquired their wealth?

As for why they chose Raelo instead of Kaido, isn't that more straightforward?

Haha, that big oaf Kaido has no sense of romance.

Although Lei Luo didn't have mind-reading abilities, he could roughly guess seven or eight parts of what was going on by looking at Stussy's cunning and shifting eyes.

This femme fatale has probably set her sights on me.

Who is the hunter...?

Who is the prey...?

That's not necessarily true.

Chapter 11 Banquet

Feasts are the theme of pirates; as long as there is a pretext to hold a feast, they can hold one anytime and anywhere.

A small banquet every three days, a large banquet every five days.

A group of people who live with their lives on the line should of course enjoy themselves while they can.

Just like how oxen and horses like to treat themselves after get off work.

With such a formal reason for Queen and Stussy's joining, Kaido naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to throw a banquet.

The Beasts Pirates don't have a chef yet, and Raylo doesn't want to cook, so he had the restaurant in Water 7 send over food and drinks.

Kaido held wine in his left hand and meat in his right. After taking a big bite of meat, he gulped down a bowl of wine.

He let out a long, contented burp: "Lei Luo, their cooking skills aren't even as good as yours."

Lei Luo turned away, ignoring the silly dragon.

Do you even need to tell me? Do you think Chinese cuisine is a joke? You're from Guangdong yourself.

In other words, he didn't want to be a chef, otherwise Sanji would have had to become his apprentice.

Stussy smiled and elegantly cut the meat on his plate, but his mind was preoccupied with the Pele.

Quinn is an ordinary fat man who believes he would be too popular if he lost weight, so he deliberately doesn't lose weight. At this moment, he drinks and eats meat without any restraint.

Jin remained completely wrapped up, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, watching coldly.

He didn't trust the two new recruits, so he was unwilling to show his true face.

Eight hundred years have passed since the World Government was founded, and the Lunaria clan has been driven from the Red Line and hunted down for eight hundred years.

As the only survivor, I would have died long ago if I hadn't been careful.

In other words, Mr. Leylo and Mr. Kaido saved his life and knew the secret of his race. It was only because he made up his mind to follow them that he lowered his guard against them.

Lei Luo noticed the wary look in Jin's eyes and waved with a smile: "Jin, what are you standing there for? Come and eat with us."

Kaido, his mouth full of meat, mumbled, "Yeah, yeah, let's eat together."

Lei Luo knew perfectly well what Jin was wary of, and laughed, "It's alright, we're partners."

Although Quinn, that fat guy, is a bit unreliable, the storyline shows that he lived with Jhin for decades.

Although Stussy is greedy and not a good person, he is not stupid. How could he possibly give up the Beast Pirates' gold mine for a mere 100 million?

King slowly removed his mask and walked over. As soon as he sat down, Kaido put an arm around his shoulder, shoved a bowl of sake into his hand, and jokingly egged him on, "Drink, drink, King, bottoms up!"

Jin took the wine, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Yes, if you can't even trust your own partners, who can you trust?

Seeing this, Kaido burst into laughter and filled his bowl again: "Again, King, let's drink until we drop!"

Jin lowered his guard and started eating and drinking as usual.

Quinn joined in, and the three of them, being of similar build, quickly put their arms around each other's shoulders.

Whether it was the alcohol or the atmosphere that brought them together, the three of them hummed Binks's "Fine Wine" and danced an awkward dance.

Ugh, that's some serious singing.

Lei Luo wasn't a big drinker, and his height didn't suit him, so he didn't join in. At the same time, he also had to be wary of Kaido getting drunk and causing trouble.

Stussy walked gracefully to Reilly's side, gently swirling the wine in her glass, and smiled charmingly: "First Mate Reilly, have a drink."

Leilo picked up his glass and clinked it with Stussy's. "Just call me Leilo, cheers."

Stussy found a seat and sat down. "Cheers."

The two took a small sip of wine.

Stussy didn't come over to try and get any information, and he certainly didn't have the foolish idea of ​​getting Reilly drunk.

She is a smart woman who knows that everything must be done step by step.

So she just came over to get closer to him, build rapport, and incidentally, show off her charm.

It's hard to resist a warm and friendly older sister. Lei Luo chatted casually with Stusi with a smile, but his hands started to wander, tentatively touching Stusi's...

He knew perfectly well what Stussy was thinking; you have to pay a price for anything you want.

As expected of a lecherous man, a flash of disgust crossed Stussy's eyes, but he quickly recovered.

Having a lustful nature is good; it makes things easier to control.

If someone is as clueless about romance as Kaido, there's really nothing I can do.

Thinking this, Stussy's smile widened, and she no longer cared that Lei Luo was taking advantage of her.

The banquet didn't end until Kaido and his two companions were completely drunk and passed out on the deck.

Not only did Stussy get taken advantage of by Lei Luo, but he also drank a lot of alcohol with Lei Luo.

Realizing that he would really get drunk if he drank any more, Stussy decisively got up and said goodbye to Reilly.

She didn't want to get drunk on her very first day and then be taken advantage of.

Before he was completely drunk, Stussy randomly found a room on the pirate ship, locked the door, and went to sleep.

A wicked smile crept onto Lei Luo's lips. If Stussy had slowed down even a little, he would have made it into the penalty area.

This woman is really willing to do anything for money.

Looking at the three people sleeping sprawled out on the deck, Lei Luo didn't even consider moving them to the room.

These three are all monsters; they can't get sick.

It means I'll have to keep watch again.

There aren't many pirates to be afraid of in the first half of the Grand Line, but there's still the Navy, isn't there?

With pirates practically dominating the New World, the four seas and the Grand Line are the absolute domain of the Navy.

The next day, Kaido woke up with his head in his hand; even a dragon like him couldn't bear the effects of a hangover.

But Lei Luo knew he would do it again next time!

The banquet has begun; now it's time to get to work.

Kaido took Queen to the shipyard to see the precious tree "Adam," and the two studied the design blueprints repeatedly.

On the way back, Quinn bought a lot of paper and pens, locked himself in his room, and spent the whole morning writing and drawing.

Then he took Bailey to the black market and bought a whole bunch of research supplies.

But that's not enough. The black market is the black market, but this is only the black market of Water Seven. And there are many things that are not available even on the black market.
