The man who was imprisoned in the 7th floor of the promotion city in One Piece

When Bartolomeo saw Lei Luo suddenly appearing, he touched his head with some embarrassment. He knew the character of his captain, and he didn't like doing evil things very much.

Lei Luo threw aside the Vander Deken in his hand and walked towards Bartolomeo.

Bartolomeo shrank his neck, feeling uneasy. Even if Lei Luo didn't beat himself, a curse would be inevitable.

Unexpectedly, Lei Luo snatched the phone bug from Bartolomeo's hand and shouted loudly: "I am the evil ghost Lei Luo! You have all heard what my crew said just now. From today on, this island belongs to me. Yes! If you still want to live on this island, you must pay me appropriate compensation."

"Eh?!" Bartolomeo looked at Lei Luo with wide eyes, obviously not expecting him to say this.

Due to Bartolomeo's previous words, the entire square was still in commotion, so Lei Luo's words did not attract many people's attention.

Neptune and Jinbei looked at each other, and they all felt that this result was within the acceptable range.

After all, not everyone takes nothing like Whitebeard. Since he has been protected by others, he naturally has to give some benefits to others.

It’s just that I don’t know the specific amount of money Lei Luo demands. If it’s all taken away like Bartolomeo said...

Lei Luo looked at the panicked civilians in the square and didn't feel there was anything wrong with his decision.

Although he is not a villain, he is definitely not a bad guy who does good deeds without asking for anything in return.

Even Luffy and the others accepted the treasure of Fish-Man Island with peace of mind after helping Fish-Man Island (although the compensation was paid to Big Mom in the end), and Lei Luo also asked for some rewards after helping the villagers deal with the fish-men in Cocosia Village. , although somewhat insignificant.

But in general, Lei Luo will not take any money.

Since Fish-Man Island accepts its protection, it needs to provide itself with corresponding benefits.

However, in Lei Luo's current state, gold and silver treasures are not of much use to him. He needs Fishman Island to do other things for him.

"Quiet!" Lei Luo shouted.

The sound was like a loud bell, and after being further amplified by the phone bug, Lei Luo's voice resounded throughout the Fish-Man Island like thunder.

The originally noisy square suddenly became quiet.

"Based on the number of people, each person will pay me [-] Baileys per month, otherwise please leave Fish-Man Island."

The originally quiet Fishman Island became noisy again, and a group of fishmen began to whisper.

In fact, ten thousand beli per month is not too much. When Aaron ruled the village of Cocosia, he charged each villager in Cocosia one hundred thousand beli every month, otherwise he would kill them.

Therefore, Lei Luo's policy was already very humane. Even if he couldn't pay the money, he would just let the other party leave the Fish-Man Island.

What's more, compared to Cocosia Village, which mainly relies on selling oranges for a living, Fishman Island is much richer.

However, Lei Luo could not guarantee that the poor people living in the Fishman Street at the bottom of Fishman Island would have enough money to hand over to him every month.

Therefore, Lei Luo thoughtfully prepared a backup plan for them.

"I will form an additional army on Fishman Island. If you are not willing to pay [-] beli per month, you can choose to join the army, regardless of gender."

Lei Luo's words instantly ignited the discussion in the square.

The civilians who were still cursing Lei Luo in their hearts because Lei Luo asked for wealth also had fluctuations in their hearts, and they began to think that Lei Luo was not a bad person.

Lei Luo saved the Fish-Man Island and kept them safe, but they were not grateful. They even complained when Lei Luo asked them for money. And when Lei Luo prepared another road for them, they started again. Somewhat grateful to Lei Luo.

Lei Luo himself didn't care what they were thinking. The reason why he proposed to establish an army and openly recruit people was that in addition to providing other solutions for those who were unable to pay the amount, he also had other plans.

Each of the four emperors has his own stronghold as a base to develop his power, and Fish-Man Island is located in the middle of the great shipping route, and is below the Holy Land Mariejoia. It has a very obvious geographical advantage, which is an indispensable opportunity for Lei Luo to develop his own power. Two options.

Lei Luo still needs to travel with his friends, and cannot stay on Fish-Man Island forever, so he needs to cultivate some combat capabilities here.

In addition, the army envisioned by Leilot also had an important role, which was to collect [-] beli per month from those who were not in the army.

After all, Lei Luo couldn't come to Fish-Man Island once a month to collect Bailey himself. He wouldn't feel at ease if Neptune's troops were to do it, so he could only divide the people on Fish-Man Island into two categories. One wave of money, another wave of effort, and using "magic" to defeat "magic".

Although the preliminary plan has been finalized, subsequent implementation will not be that easy. There are still many detailed things that need to be planned, but that is a story for another day.

Lei Luo turned to look at Neptune, "Do you have any objections to my proposal?"

"No, no!" Neptune waved his hand quickly.

Originally, he had planned to donate all the treasures in the Dragon Palace City's treasure house, but he didn't expect Lei Luo to choose such a gentle way to ask for rewards, and also gave everyone different choices.

"That's good." Lei Luo smiled and pointed at Vander Deken, who was thrown aside by him, "I'll leave that guy to you. He made your daughter trapped in the hard-shell tower for many years without seeing the light of day. You must also hate him very much in your heart. But he won’t live long if he’s injured like this.”

Neptune looked at Vander Deken with complicated eyes and said nothing.

Lei Luo turned to look at Jinbei, "I have something to ask you."

Jinbei looked stern, "What's going on?"

Lei Luo walked up and said a few words in his ear. During this period, Jinbei's eyes kept changing, and he looked in the direction of Shark Maru from time to time.

"I promise you, not only because of Fish-Man Island, but also because you saved Ace."

Lei Luo nodded, "That's good."

……

Lei Luo stayed on Fish-Man Island for a few more days to finalize matters related to establishing an army and collecting protection fees. During this period, he also went to meet Bai Xing, who had moved out of the Hard Shell Tower.

After everything was settled, Lei Luo took Bartolomeo and prepared to leave.

A group of people stood at the port to see Lei Luo and the others off.

There were Neptune from Ryugu Castle and his four children, Jinbei and some people who were really grateful to Lei Luo, and Sharakomaru who looked reluctant.

The agreement between Shark Maru and Lei Luo has been reached, and now there is no reason to stay on Lei Luo's ship.
