Pirate Black Count

Chapter 378, Vegapunk's last words
Capital is ruthless and bloody.

When facing anyone or anything, we only proceed from the perspective of interests.

Therefore, Vegapunk's speculation is correct. Once the pacifists appear, the Shichibukai system will be abolished, and there will be countless people who want to kill him!

If the development of science and technology does not bring benefits to capital, but instead exploits their interests, then this kind of progress is impermissible progress.

Holy Land, Mary Joa.

Vegapunk residence.

"finish watching?"

Sitting on the chair, Vegapunk turned his head with a surprised face while holding a teacup: "Understood?"

"I read it but didn't understand it. It's too complicated."

Rhine told the truth: "But I feel that I have grasped some key points and need more data verification. The current design drawings, the hull structure and firepower system always give me the illusion of an empty shell."

"So that's it, that's it."

Vegapunk nodded in satisfaction, and smiled: "Actually, it's just an empty shell. I really didn't misread you, Rhine. You know, at the beginning... Forget it, tell me your opinion."

Vegapunk didn't finish speaking, but started to ask questions.

In response, Rhine slowly straightened his back and nodded seriously.

"Yes!"

Just like the teacher asked questions in class, the two asked one by one and answered the other, so that time passed unconsciously.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Finally, a knock on the door interrupted the class.

Vegapunk slapped his forehead suddenly: "Almost forgot, today I have to report the work progress to Master Wu Laoxing."

Glancing at the moonlight rising from the window, Vegapunk said, "I still have a few design drawings here, take them back and look at them slowly."

Rhine, who didn't feel tired after answering all afternoon, nodded, took the scrolls, and replied respectfully: "Okay, teacher."

Vegapunk paused for a moment, waved his hand, and signaled him to leave.

Opening the door, Xiao's eyes paused for three seconds on Rhine who walked out of the room, and then he heard Vegapunk's voice.

"I'm sorry, Lord Xiao, is Lord Wu Laoxing resting yet?"

Looking back, Xiao looked at the man in front of him, and replied in a calm tone: "I have already rested, but Lord Wu Laoxing expressed his understanding. Outsiders only saw the talent of Mr. Vegapunk, but they couldn't see the hard work and hard work behind your Excellency." diligent."

"Thank you very much, please come in."

Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief, and invited Xiao Xiao into the room.

His eyes swept over the scattered documents on the table, and Xiao Xiao, who found nothing unusual, said, "Also, Mr. Wu Laoxing asked me to tell you that if there are no special circumstances, please try not to leave the experiment in the near future. room."

click...

The glass was knocked over, looking at the burn marks on his fingers, Vegapunk was silent for a moment, then put down the kettle: "Do you have any clues?"

"Yes."

Xiao nodded: "Many strangers have come to the Chambord Islands recently, and the number of merchants requesting to go to and from the New World through the Holy Land has also increased by 0% within a week. You know, CP[-] is seriously understaffed and there are too many people. We cannot guarantee your personal safety."

Vegapunk nodded in understanding.

CP0, it is already the result of all kinds of hard work of the man in front of him that the establishment can still exist, not to mention the manpower.

Then he sighed.

"Underestimate them, the reaction is really fast."

Xiao Xiao did not answer this question.

After all, take a closer look, why did the enemy react so quickly?

It's not because there are people in the government who have contacted there until now!

It was the leak of their internal intelligence that caused Vegapunk to be threatened.

After a big battle, the two sides died down and needed time to sort out the territory and various issues, so they kept restraint on the surface, and no one wanted to die at this juncture and make others cheaper for nothing.

With such a huge amount of money involved, even the five old stars are powerless.

I believe that Earl Black is the same at this moment.

but……

Fortunately, those people didn't completely lose their minds, and if they just assassinated instead of fighting head-on, Wu Laoxing would be happy to see this result.

"Say..."

Vegapunk suddenly asked: "How much profit can the smuggling business of the Golden Emperor and 'Blue Ghost' Dongli make in a year?"

Xiao wanted to say that he didn't know, but for some reason, he answered the question honestly: "Only what we know, there is at least 4000 billion Bailey's net profit a year. Dongli and those nobles take the small head, and the Golden Emperor takes the big head. And this is not counting the amount earned by Black Earl’s shipping industry and Kaido’s arms industry relying on this line, otherwise, in the worst case, it can generate at least one trillion yuan in profits every year.”

"one trillion……"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Vegapunk was taken aback by this exaggerated number.

This is not a commercially developed earth, but a chaotic sea!
The profit generated by just one industrial chain exceeds one trillion yuan. Looking at the sea, there are only a few large countries that can compare their annual income.

With a wry smile, Vegapunk said: "The heavenly gold that the Tianlong people get from more than 100 franchise countries every year seems to be inferior to this figure, right?"

Xiao Xiao didn't speak again.

Is he going to admit even just a fraction?
Many franchise countries are only poor in ordinary families. Nobles and royal families often occupy more than [-]% of society's wealth, but even so they are reluctant to continue to squeeze blood and sweat from poor people to pay for the annual gold.

Then use these poor people to make a fuss, so that the five old stars' proposal to increase the gold in the sky repeatedly cannot be passed.

That's why it gave government officials an excuse for corruption.

This gave the Golden Emperor the opportunity to use money to open the way to contact the upper echelons of the government.

The world government has money, but it has a big family and a big business. The navy spends a huge amount of money every year, and the rest is shared equally among everyone. Who can eat enough?

Especially when you see that other people have less rights than you but have a better life than yourself.

Of course, if the Golden Emperor hadn't consolidated too much wealth to attract people's envy, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother, would have been able to muddle through when the wealth was scattered.

But there is no if in everything.

The Golden Emperor is here.

Shake the world with your own golden empire.

And if they want to touch this big cake now, a counterattack is bound to come.

The summary is:

It's all Doflamingo's fault!
The source of evil deserves its name.

"Ah autumn!!"

In the newly rebuilt King's Highland Palace, Doflamingo rubbed his nose and cursed: "I'm messing with whom again?!"

Back to the Holy Land.

Silent for a long time, Vegapunk said: "I have left the ideas of PX-4, PX-5 and PX-6, and the design of PX-4 can be used with confidence, and the remaining two generations can be upgraded. If I If something unexpected happens, you need to work hard to improve it yourself.”

"They... won't have a chance!"

"Really? Then I'll trust you."

Smiling and shaking his head, Vegapunk rummaged under the table for a while, and finally found a rolled-up design: "By the way, I almost forgot about this."

"This is the mechanical arm I improved from the pulverizer I installed for Mr. Zefa. Please help me bring it to Marshal Akainu. Thanks to the Navy for taking care of me over the years."

"This……"

Unexpectedly, Vegapunk would have such last words, Xiao froze for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid it won't be necessary."

Vegapunk's pupils shrank.

"Couldn't it be!!"

"No, it's not..."

Finding that what he said was easy to be misunderstood, Xiao paused, and explained: "Forget it, with your authority, you can know about this matter, so it's okay to tell you."

"General Aokiji woke up two days ago, but he heard about the proposal to abolish the Shichibukai system from nowhere, and he firmly opposed it. For this reason, he had a big fight with Akainu in the ward yesterday."

"He said that Akainu will definitely regret it, and Qiwuhai cannot be abolished, otherwise he will leave the navy."

"Now neither side can convince the other, and maintain a cold war... In this case, especially you, I think it's best not to make unnecessary moves."

Vegapunk: "..."
