Pirate's Ape Fruit
Chapter 235 Growth
Luffy didn't care about Smoker's affairs. He now felt that he should use his increased reputation after the war to recruit more people and expand his business. Three Inches of the World .yanqingshu.
Since it was already difficult to recruit the people Luffy wanted in the Current Islands, Luffy simply recruited people in the Current Islands.
……
Looking at this chubby young man, who was as fat as a big winter melon, Luffy could only smile with an embarrassed look on his face and said: "Mr. Luo Xiu, I am really grateful that the Whirlpool Islands came all the way."
Luffy continued: "Don't worry, I will definitely lower the price for you."
Luo Xiu knew that Luffy was speaking politely.
As the Fifth Emperor, Luffy was very humane without blackmailing these merchants.
The most important point is that Luffy's freight costs are much cheaper than those of his peers. Businessmen are looking for profit, so they must cooperate with Luffy.
Luo Xiu's chubby face looked particularly sincere when he smiled, "Mr. Luffy, if you can help us open up a sea freight line in the Whirlpool Islands, then you can definitely use the Whirlpool Islands as a stepping stone to communicate with the nearby Return Country. When doing business, pearls, sea jade, and even some colored corals produced wherever they are are sold all over the world, so it will be a big business."
Luffy was naturally very excited when he heard this. What he needed most at the moment was to receive various business orders, and there were also large sums of money. Naturally, he was very excited...
Luffy didn't think much, but took a boat directly to the Whirlpool Islands with Luo Xiu.
Of course, Luffy will still take some people there.
After all, it is necessary to have the intention to harm others and to be on guard against others. He can still understand this truth.
There is no way the pie will fall.
The fact is just as Luffy expected, this Luo Xiu does have uneasy good intentions.
In other words, it's selfishness.
The sea freight on Whirlpool Island is monopolized by the shipping king Umit, so every year they have to pay Umit expensive freight costs, so they want to use Luffy's help to keep Umit in these three countries. The forces stationed on the Whirlpool Islands were all destroyed one by one...
"Luo Xiu, you don't seem to be very honest?" Luffy said with a slight smile.
The expression on Luo Xiu's face was so ugly that he looked like he was crying when he was smiling. That was because he was completely risking his own life to gamble with this wealth...
"Luffy-sama, I didn't mean to deceive you."
Luo Xiu said: "Umit's freight was originally 50-50, but since you snatched away the sea freight from the Sea Current Islands and Streams, Umit began to charge us more, as if he knew that we might abandon him and choose you at any time. , the lion opened its mouth and asked for 80%, doesn’t it want our lives?”
Luo Xiu continued: "We were walking together, but I was unlucky, so I got whipped."
Not long after landing, Luffy was watched by someone. His powerful knowledge and abilities were so far behind that there were at least dozens of people waiting for him on the coast, and they were all snipers...
Roger spoke slowly: "Luffy, we are already being targeted? And they are already targeting you?"
Luffy said slowly: "It doesn't matter. If they dare to shoot, they will die."
Roger knew what Luffy was up to.
Luffy ate three natural Devil Fruits, so the bullets were of no use to him and could not hurt him. Although this sniper could kill a human's vital parts with one shot, it was a pity that it was useless to Luffy. But it was unable to cause fatal damage, so when they fired, they were equivalent to telling Luffy their location.
"Bang bang..."
"Bang bang..."
Luffy never expected that these snipers must have practiced for a while, so the moment they pulled the trigger, they all completed the action at the same time.
"Thirty-seven bullets?"
Luffy really didn't expect that Umit would send thirty-seven snipers in order to assassinate him.
These bullets killed Luffy's head, chest, heart, lungs, spleen and stomach respectively... Once these human bodies are knocked down, even if an ambulance comes in a short time, they can't save them, because it only takes a few minutes. , if the operation cannot be completed within the time required, the person will naturally die directly.
Luo Xiuna was quite frightened.
Luo Xiu was afraid that if Luffy died, Luffy's men would take their anger out on him, and then there would be only one fate for him, and that would be death.
"My lords, I really didn't know they had an ambush."
Luo Xiu continued to cry: "If you knew, even if you gave me some courage, I would not dare to deceive you."
Luo Xiu's voice made him cry even harder.
Maybe he didn't realize that Luffy was still standing, completely fine. A normal person would have fallen to the ground long ago after being shot so many times. He was already dead, but Luffy was fine with nothing.
……
In the blink of an eye, Luffy picked out all thirty-seven snipers and said with a smile: "How much did Umit give each of you?"
"A million Baileys."
Umit is indeed a businessman. He also spent 37 million beli and hired thirty-seven brainless fools. If the Five Emperors were so easy to assassinate, they would probably die long ago, so Umit is like this Even if you can't kill Luffy, you are just giving Luffy a warning...
The local monkey simply trampled this man to the ground, and said with a look of dissatisfaction: "Our captain is worth 3.5 billion beli. You said you, for a mere 37 million beli, you Do you think it’s possible to assassinate our captain?”
Luffy didn't waste any time and gave the monkey a blow. "Umit shouldn't be that stupid. Is there any other conspiracy?"
Sure enough, the leading sniper took out a phone bug.
Luffy subconsciously knew the purpose of this phone bug.
Luffy also used this phone bug to contact Umit directly. "Umit, do you think this is interesting?"
"Yes, I have."
Wumit was actually starting to feel frightened.
This is the same as not being afraid of thieves, but being afraid of thieves.
Now that Luffy has remembered him, his danger has increased. He has offended many people in the past, but now he has offended one of the Five Emperors. Doesn't that mean that his life is now in great danger...
However, Wumit was already prepared.
Luffy doesn't do this shipping business just for money.
Umit is known as the King of Shipping, and naturally he has a lot of money. "Luffy, if possible, let's cooperate."
Umit continued: "I give 30 billion beli to the Big Mom Pirates every year. I will give you another 10 billion beli. What do you think?"
Luffy knew that Umit would definitely use money to bribe him first.
Luffy smiled and said, "Then you must have conditions, right?"
"That's natural."
Umit continued: "If I give you this money, it will be equivalent to betraying the Big Mom Pirates. They will definitely retaliate against me and come to kill me, so you must help me eradicate them all."
"That's your business."
Luffy said very directly: "I can tell you that my shipping company is trying to steal your business, as well as the old man's business in the warehouse, so the warehouses at these docks will soon be mine, and I don't mind you two. Let’s all join forces to deal with me.”
Luffy could tell from the expression on the electric bug alone that Umit was already so angry that he was gnashing his teeth, and now he was angry with embarrassment. He was probably going to make some big move...
Luffy caught Luo Xiu first and asked, "Who is the guard of the Whirlpool Islands?"
"Quarantine General Peach Rabbit, so the security here is still good."
When Luffy heard Momo Usagi's name, his whole body started to tremble.
Roger also discovered something was wrong with Luffy.
Roger asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Luffy, what's wrong with you?"
"Maybe it's an enemy?" Earth Monkey also said with an uncertain expression: "Maybe the captain has offended people to death in the past, but now he has reached the point where he will not stop until death?"
Luffy did offend Peach Rabbit to death a long time ago.
The person Luffy is most afraid of seeing right now is not Luofia Palace, but Peach Rabbit.
Seeing that Luffy was so good, Luo Xiu naturally wanted to hold Luffy's thigh even to death. There was no way he could let him slip away. "Luffy-sama, please come with me."
Luffy thought to himself that he would never be so unlucky.
But in fact, he was really unlucky.
Not long after Luffy left, he met Peach Usagi, and he was speeding along with his subordinates.
Sure enough, this woman put the knife directly to her neck.
Luffy suddenly felt like he was about to cry without tears. "Sister Momotu, you don't need to be so excited?"
Taotu seemed to realize that this was not a suitable place to talk, so he sent all his men away...
Luffy also sent Roger and the others away.
Peach Usagi, on the other hand, greeted Luffy for a while and said, "Luffy, that Celestial Dragon didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"no!"
Luffy suddenly felt ashamed. This woman was obviously interested in him, so why was she always so cruel to him?
"Sister Peach Rabbit, when were you transferred to the Whirlpool Islands?" Luffy asked.
"After the war, I was sent to this place because it was full of pirates and there were a lot of crimes. It took me a month to get the place under control."
"One month?"
Luffy was sure that Peach Usagi must have used violence, and it was also terrifying violence.
However, Luffy found that the feminine side of Momo was quite lovable, and he even had a little bit of admiration...
Luffy asked slowly: "So how is my grandpa? He hasn't been stimulated or shocked, right?"
"I do not know about this."
Peach Rabbit continued to speak: "When I left, I was obedient. General Garp had already stepped aside and took on the task of teaching new recruits."
Seeing Luffy's thoughtful look on his face, Peach Rabbit stopped making any sound.
Luffy unknowingly accompanied Peach Rabbit through the whole street.
Only then did Luffy remember that he still had to meet with people from the Chamber of Commerce.
"Sister Taotu, I'm in a hurry right now. I have to meet with people from the Chamber of Commerce to discuss a business deal," Luffy said.
"Do you really plan to be a pirate for the rest of your life?" Peach Rabbit asked.
Luffy knew what Peach Rabbit meant and smiled awkwardly: "Sister Peach Rabbit, you also know that I have no choice but to chase a duck now. Who wants to be wanted? It's okay to be young, but this old one is a bit miserable. .”
Taotu said with certainty: "When I become the marshal, I will definitely help you get rid of these unwarranted charges."
"Thank you, Sister Taotu."
Luffy didn't feel very good inside either.
Taotu has already said this, which means that she loves him deeply, but he can't give her what she wants now...
Thinking of this, Luffy didn't dare to think any more.
At the Chamber of Commerce, Roger had negotiated the order early.
Roger followed Luffy's request and received double the reward as punishment for Luo Xiu and the others for plotting against him.
Luo Xiu and the others all laughed and gave Luffy the money directly. The main reason was that the double amount of money Luffy overcharged as punishment was not enough for them to pay a fraction of their filial piety to Umit, so they were very willing to suffer this punishment. .
Luffy is still thinking about the piece of fat that Luo Xiukou returned to the country.
Luffy asked aloud: "Luo Xiu, how are the forces in the Return Kingdom?"
Luo Xiu mainly deals with the business of the Returning Country, so he is very clear about the forces of the Returning Country. "It is the territory of the Pirate Emperor, the aunt of the Four Emperors, and it is also the territory of Umit. Of course, there is also the hidden master, Gibson, they It’s not a trouble. The most troublesome thing is the nobles and royal families who have returned to the country. Whether they are foreign businessmen or domestic businessmen, you must pay them regular respects, otherwise they will be imprisoned in a minute. I think if you go, they will not dare to follow you. Play these little tricks.”
"If I seize all the freight and warehouses in this returning country, how much money can I make in a year?" Luffy asked.
Luo Xiu smiled slightly and said: "As far as I know, Wumit can earn at least 30 billion beli a year. Of course, if these are divided, the net profit is still very considerable, at least not less than 10 billion beli, so the road Master Fei, if you follow your rules, you can definitely earn two to three billion Baileys a year..."
Luffy is now a little envious of Umit's income.
However, Luffy also knows that justice cannot be lost.
What he has to do now is to strengthen himself step by step.
Thinking of this, Luffy said slowly: "Luo Xiu, go and get ready. I want to take a boat to the country of return. I want to see the market there?"
However, Luffy didn't forget to treat Peach Usagi to dinner.
In other words, this dinner was a bit sumptuous, and it was a very sumptuous dinner, a candlelight dinner for two people.
Luffy could even hear Peach Rabbit's beating heart.
"Luffy, why don't you come back with me and apologize to Mr. Sakaski?"
Taotu continued: "I think he will definitely forgive you? Can you continue to be your quasi-admiral?"
