Farming in Pirate World

Chapter 197 Population Auction Conference

Not to mention anything else, Li Ming felt a little creepy when he thought about the gunpowder stored in the Black Goat.

In that warehouse where gunpowder is piled, if a few small sparks are generated, the entire area 29 will be instantly reduced to ashes, along with area 29 and area NO. 28, which are connected to area 30, and the two islands will also be destroyed. It will be completely destroyed due to the impact.

With such majestic firepower support, it is more than enough to launch a battle, let alone defeat two ineffective small forces.

Without paying any more attention to the black goat, Li Ming took a rest for a while to recover the muscles that had been damaged by the sudden burst of fighting power. Then he took out a business card made of pure gold from his arms and slowly opened it. Telephone.

"I knew you would call sooner or later. It really made me wait."

Before Li Ming could speak, an enthusiastic voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Roz Alexander, I remember you were in the slave business in the illegal zone?"

Li Ming did not be polite to him, but went straight to the point.

"Do you know a human trafficker named Pittman?"

"Pittman? Oh, it's that little organization called "Hound Pets", right? What's wrong? Did he offend you?"

"Don't worry, I will teach him a lesson!"

As soon as Ross Alexander heard Li Ming's tone, he roughly knew what was going on.

This group of ignorant bastards accidentally offended Li Ming and made Li Ming unhappy, so they came to ask for an explanation.

After all, Pittman is a human trafficker, and he is one of the core members of the largest human trafficker group in the entire Shampoo Islands and even the entire world.

In this matter, he was still willing to give Li Ming some face.

"No need, he's dead."

Li Ming frowned slightly, this Pitman was actually related to Ross Alexander.

"Dead! Did you kill him?"

Roz Alexander was surprised. In the entire illegal zone, Pittman and his human trafficker organization "Hound Pets" were not small organizations, and their strength could not be eliminated so easily.

"Yes, he died just now. If you go to Area 28 now, the body may not have had time to be cleaned up."

"Why did he offend you?"

"He wanted to make me a slave."

"..."

Ross Alexander was speechless. After pondering for a long time, he slowly said one word:

"Deserved it."

Maybe it was because I had been along for the ride for too long, and I didn't even inquire about the other person's information before kidnapping them, so I rushed over in such a hurry, and I couldn't blame others for being killed.

What really shocked Roz Alexander was that Li Ming was able to kill Pittman!

Logically speaking, with Pitman's strength, even if the abduction failed, he would not die directly outside.

With his strength, even if he encounters a truly strong person, he can still escape.

However, before that, Rhodes had to confirm one thing.

"Pittman is dead, what about the rest of the Hound Pets?"

The Hound Pets were an organization founded by Pittman, who was the boss, but many other members of the Hound Pets were also good slave catchers.

If only Pittman died and the hound pets were leaderless, Roz Alexander could take the opportunity to recruit them under his command.

"I don't know about the others, but Pittman brought out a total of eight younger brothers, and they are all dead."

Li Ming doesn't know exactly how many hound pets there are, but the eight younger brothers who followed Pittman are all dead.

"Then forget it."

Ross Alexander sighed, eight people, this is already the core lineup of the entire "Hound Pet".

Different from ordinary gangs, gangs of human traffickers are more criminal and have higher requirements for their members.

A qualified human trafficker should be able to completely subdue the target in an instant before the target can react, and then leave the scene in a short time.

This requires that human trafficker gangs must be elite and have fewer people.

Only by reducing the number of people can the team become more flexible.

Eight people in "Hound Pet" died, which can almost declare the "Hound Pet" group to be destroyed.

Even if there are one or two people left behind, it is not worthy of Roz Alexander's special recruitment.

"Now that Pittman is dead, why are you contacting me?"

"I have two small things that I would like to ask you for help with."

"What's up?"

"First thing, I want to ask, how many people are involved in the slave business in the Chambord Islands, and how much is the annual transaction volume?"

The Chambord Islands have a special status. They are the end point of the first half of the Great Line, and they are also the islands closest to Marijoa and the Navy Headquarters.

This can be said to be the trade center of the entire first half of the Grand Line.

In such a prosperous place, the slave trade, a business that is banned all over the world, is openly exposed to the sun. This in itself is an extremely incredible thing.

The only explanation is that the involvement of this business is too extensive, so extensive that even the Navy Headquarters does not dare to touch it easily.

"That's what you want to ask?"

"almost."

Facing Li Ming's question, Ross Alexander groaned and said slowly:

"This matter is very involved. I can't tell you too much about who is specifically involved."

"In this regard, I advise you not to delve too deeply into it. It will not be good for you."

"As for the trading volume, I can give you a rough idea of ​​this."

"The annual slave trading volume of our Alexandria Chamber of Commerce alone is about [-] slaves."

"In addition to us, plus several other chambers of commerce, I estimate that the annual transaction volume can be about 3 to 4 people."

Ross Alexander pondered for a few times and said hesitantly:

"In addition, the hard-working auction house in District [-] also conducts slave sales, but they do not focus on quantity, but focus on "quality," so the profit is not small."

This kind of thing is not a secret. As long as you are willing, with Li Ming's current status, it is not difficult to find out about this kind of thing.

You know, Li Ming is a "popular person" that the old man personally inspected.

The old man's respect alone was enough to make Li Ming superior to others.

"Okay, I remember."

Li Ming nodded and recorded Ross Alexander's words.

"The second thing is, I want to know the distribution and location of the human traffickers in the entire Shampoo Islands."

"Ok?"

Ross Alexander was stunned again, not understanding why Li Ming wanted to know such a thing.

"You don't want to get involved in the slave business... No! What do you want to do?!"

When Ross Alexander heard Li Ming's question, the first thing he thought of was that Li Ming also wanted to get a share of the slave trade.

In essence, Ross Alexander is just a businessman doing business.

In his eyes, Li Ming is also a businessman.

Businessmen pursue profit, and will not be able to afford it without profit.Li Ming was so concerned about the human traffickers, and the first thing he thought of was that Li Ming wanted a piece of the pie.

But before he finished speaking, Ross Alexander suddenly remembered that Li Ming was almost hijacked by Pittman!

The person he is talking to on the phone is not just an ordinary "businessman", he is someone who dares to quarrel with "that old man"!

A bold idea appeared in Roz Alexander's mind.

"You want to kill them all?!"

Ross Alexander was also skeptical about this idea. After all, cleaning up the human trafficking group was so shocking that he even wanted to laugh.

Even for a professional navy, it is extremely difficult to clean up these human smuggler groups.

Not to mention the strength of these human traffickers themselves, most of them are local snakes who have grown up in the Chambord Islands for a long time. Even if they have the strength to crush them, it will be difficult to catch them in the heavily populated Chambord Islands.

They are like loaches. As long as they get into the crowd, they will disappear quickly and are completely elusive.

This is also one of the benefits of the elitism of human trafficker gangs.

"We may not necessarily kill them all, but we will at least reduce them by more than [-]%."

Li Ming did not deny what Ross Alexander said, but directly expressed his thoughts.

"Hiss~ You really don't want your life!"

Ross Alexander took a breath. He could feel Li Ming's firm thoughts, and for a moment he didn't know what to say about price comparison.

"Why, you don't want to?"

"How could that happen? Of course I would."

"Leave me an address and I'll send you their information."

In the end, Ross Alexander didn't say much about Li Ming's plan, but readily shared the information with Li Ming.

"I owe you a favor."

"Look what you said, it would be good for me if there are fewer of these people."

As soon as Li Ming said this, the corners of Ross Alexander's mouth almost reached the back of his head.

This time he made a profit.

The reduction of human trafficker gangs will not affect the operations of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce. Instead, it will reduce the number of slaves on the market and increase the price.

He can make more!

Coupled with a favor from Li Ming, he made a fortune.

After nodding, the two chatted for a few more words, and then Li Ming hung up the phone.

Sighing, he suddenly missed Bartolomeo.

He often felt a little annoyed when Bartolomeo was around, after all, Bartolomeo was too clingy.

However, after getting used to it, he found that he had no one to use without Bartolomeo.

Will goes to sea, Bartolomeo is now on his way to the Chambord Islands, and Robin must stay in Alabasta.

Suddenly, Li Ming fell into an embarrassing situation where no one could help him.

"Let's go to the World Government to borrow troops first."

Li Ming has no intention of fighting these traffickers alone. He spends money every time. Even if his wallet can bear it, Li Ming's body can't bear it.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

Just when Li Ming was deep in thought, a rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the hotel.

"who?"

Opening the door, there was a young man in a suit and leather jacket standing outside. He smiled politely at Li Ming and handed him a leaflet.

"Advertisement?"

Li Ming, who was accustomed to being bombarded with information and harassed by sales pitches in his previous life, was all too familiar with this situation.

He didn't expect that even in the world of pirates, door-to-door sales would happen.

"You are Mr. Li Ming, right."

"Yes, it's me."

The young man in a suit smiled, took out a bucket of Ou Juan's maps from his arms, and handed them to Li Ming with both hands.

"Mr. Li Ming, I am from the Alexander Chamber of Commerce. I have given this to you on the order of Mr. Ross Alexander."

"So fast?!"

Li Ming had just finished making the call, but he didn't expect Ross Alexander's people to arrive so quickly.

"And this, Mr. Ross Alexander also asked me to give it to you."

Li Ming took the map, and the person handed Li Ming an invitation letter with a red cover, and handed him the flyer in his hand. Then he bowed slightly and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette on Li Ming. Finally, Resign and leave.

Although they are essentially slave merchants, the internal members of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce are all comparable to the nobles. Whether it is life or etiquette, they are not much worse than some nobles.

Li Ming closed the door, put the map aside, and opened the invitation letter in his hand.

There is no signature on the invitation, but the time and place of the Effort Auction Conference are marked in the lower right corner.

"Area No. [-]?"

"If I remember correctly, the financial owner behind the slave auction house in Area [-] is actually Doflamingo."

At this time, Doflamingo had not completely given up on the slave business. In order to make money quickly, he was more or less involved in both arms trading and slave trading.

"Why did Rhodes give me this during the January auction?"

Li Ming was a little confused.

He had just mentioned the matter of human trafficking to Roz Alexander, and showed his obvious disgust towards human trafficking. At this moment, Roz Alexander handed him an invitation letter. What did this mean?

Putting down the invitation, Li Ming took the flyer in his hand, looked at the content on the "flyer" and squinted his eyes.

Li Min read the entire price list and turned to the back of the flyer. There was a line of small words in the corner that read:

“There’s good stuff at the auction.”
