Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

In a single-family villa in Golden City.

Kaido and Charlotte?6?1 Lingling are both here at this time.

They had checked the house and there were no bugging devices or anything like that.

It's not surprising, after all, this Golden City has just opened, if you install those things where other people live.

Aren't you just destroying your own brand?

Of course, I won’t do those things in the future.

Kaido and Charlotte?6?1 Lingling naturally understand the reason.

But just in case, I checked it carefully.

Most of the real estate and real estate in Golden City can be sold.

In fact, many forces or people did start to purchase these assets from the very beginning.

Basically, all the big guys do this.

After all, the Golden City is also a unique neutral zone. There will probably be quite a lot of people who will need to use this place in the future.

You can't just book a hotel room every time you want to talk to someone, right?

Drop in price!

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a fixed asset, or a stronghold, or even an office here.

At the same time, it can also strengthen the connections between all parties.

Even if the prices here are really high, it is only relatively speaking, and the big guys are not short of this money at all.

The villa where Kaido and the two were staying was bought by Charlotte?6?1 Lingling.

Including Kaido and Whitebeard, they all bought it.

The door of the villa was wide open, and there was no one guarding the door.

There is indeed no need to guard it.

Kaido and Charlotte?6?1 Lingling were sitting in the room, each drinking, and no one spoke.

The drinks were accompanied by a silent atmosphere. After drinking for a while, the two of them made a move at the same time, put down the wine bowls and glasses in their hands, and invariably turned their attention to the door of the villa.

I saw Newgate's tall figure walking in from outside the door.

There was no one around, not even Marco.

Newgate first glanced at Kaido, and then at Charlotte?6?1 Lingling. Without saying a word, he sat on the sofa prepared for him very naturally, with a calm expression.

The positions of the three people are exactly like a triangle.

"…any drinks?"

Kaido opened the wine compartment and asked while holding the wine bowl.

Newgate didn't put on any airs and waved his hands very casually:

"Just the same as you."

Kaido nodded, then took out a bottle of wine from the wine box next to the sofa and threw it to Newgate.

After biting open the bottle cap with his teeth and pouring it for himself, Newgate drank directly, and the other two did the same. They didn't push the cup or drink, they just drank by themselves.

No one said anything unnecessary.

After three or five glasses of wine, Newgate's eyes were slightly blurred, perhaps because he was older, or perhaps he was moved by the scene, and his tone was filled with emotion and sigh:

"I didn't expect that I would be able to have a drink with you two bastards again in my lifetime..."

Kaido and Charlotte?6?1 Lingling didn't care about Newgate's choice of words.

On the contrary, when he opened his mouth, there was a look of reminiscence in the eyes of these two people.

Time...

"The last time I drank like this was on Boss Rocks' boat..."

Charlotte?6?1 Lingling stopped drinking. After taking a sip of wine, she smacked her lips while appreciating the taste of the wine.

However, Kaido reminded him in a very embarrassing way:

"Then you, the damn old man, got into a fight with that bastard lion Shiki, didn't you?"

Newgate didn't care about Kaido's name, he smiled and said:

"Gu la la la la... If John's iron cock hadn't stopped me, I would have sunk Shiji to the bottom of the sea..."

The Rocks Pirates, to say it is a pirate group, is more like a loose alliance, and Rocks is the leader of this alliance.

Most of the members were put together for 'some big business'.

There is not much friendship between them.

They can't live in harmony at all. They fight with each other all day long on the boat. Today you beat me and I'll beat him tomorrow. It's normal.

It's just that the people on the ship are all boss-level, and they know the severity of their actions. They are only in a state of fighting and making trouble, and rarely get to the point of life and death.

When this was mentioned, Kaido couldn't answer the question.

Charlotte? 6? 1 Lingling was lucky, she was considered a relatively high-ranking person on the ship at that time, she was a cadre after all.

Then he, Kaido... was Lingling's little brother at that time.

Along with his Blue Dragon Fruit ability, after the collapse of the Rocks Pirate Group, one of the major shareholders, Charlotte Lingling, gave it to him before they parted ways.

The three of them just talked about each other, reminiscing about old times, although they didn't regain the friendship...

Rather, there is no such thing.

But it somewhat neutralized the dull atmosphere.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Newgate asked:

"Tell me, why did you come to me? You just want to reminisce about the past, right? You two don't seem to be such sentimental people..."

Charlotte?6?1 Lingling glanced at the old man with the white beard somewhat unhappily, and then said:

"Old guy, stop pretending. You came to Golden City in person, isn't it just to meet the two of us?"

Kaido still didn't speak, just sitting there drinking alone.

Newgate nodded first and then said:

"But there is no purpose. If I insist on saying it, it's just that I don't object to seeing you two."

Regarding his rhetoric, Kaido and Charlotte?6?1 Lingling could not deny it, but they did not doubt anything.

Because this old guy Newgate has this kind of character.

And in fact, it was indeed the two of them who wanted to see Newgate more.

"I told you a long time ago that this king, Shichibukai, is not a good person. They are all the lackeys of the government. As a result, you insisted on having your own way, and now you have ended up like this..."

Charlotte?6?1 Lingling said with a hint of complaint in her tone.

But Newgate didn't accept her tactics at all. He raised his eyebrows and knocked on the armrest of the sofa quite disdainfully:

"Your Majesty Qibukai is indeed not a good person, just you two? At least, I can still sit here and drink today!

If I hadn't joined forces with Smoker, I would have suffered a bigger loss from you two, and maybe the grass on the grave would have started to grow! "

This is also true.

Although the outcome of that battle was very unsatisfactory.

But when Newgate thought about it afterwards, he felt that his goal had been achieved.

It was originally for the two of them to join forces.

Avoid the slow decline of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although they were all listed in the 'defeated' sequence in the end.

But obviously, none of the three of them is a winner!

As for Smoker?

Smoker might be capable.

But not enough to annex them.

Not a mortal threat.

Really at a disadvantage.

On the contrary, it was Charlotte?6?1 Lingling and Kaido.

I originally thought that the two swords combined could sweep the world.

It ended up like this.

It's quite uncomfortable if it's neither up nor down.

I didn't continue to argue about these issues with the bastard Newgate. After all, there was nothing to talk about in the past.

Charlotte?6?1 Lingling snorted coldly at first, then looked at Newgate, especially the injury on his waist. She paused for a moment, and slowly said:

"Are you having a hard time these days?"

When Newgate heard this, he glanced at Charlotte?6?1 Lingling, but did not speak.

But silence is considered acquiescence.

Nowadays, although they have become the so-called "Four Emperors", in fact, they are far less domineering and unrestrained than in the original work.

Inside the new world, it can be said that there are many problems.

The most important thing is that the navy is getting stronger and stronger.

As the overall strength of the navy increases, the wave of pirates around the world is slowing down.

And this, to a certain extent, caused the supply of fresh pirate blood in the new world to be insufficient.

In other words, there are no new people entering the new world.

At the same time, Sakaski is in charge of the New World Naval Warfare.

Tough and iron-blooded.

Although so far, he has not taken the initiative to start any big war in the new world.

But the navy has indeed effectively combated the arrogance of pirates in the new world.

Moreover, the gateway sea area of ​​​​the New World is basically firmly controlled by the navy.

Almost locking the pirates in the new world.

The pirates, whose living space is constantly being squeezed, see that they can't defeat the navy, so they can only fight internally.

So this life is really difficult.

This is true even for the Yonko-level pirate group.

Seeing that Newgate didn't speak, Kaido continued:

"If this continues, we will all be doomed sooner or later, old man, don't tell me you can't see clearly..."

Speaking of which, Kaido did well in the original work, although he wasted many years in Wano.

But in the end, he dominated Wano and enslaved the country.

Then using this as the basic base, many arms businesses were launched. With a steady stream of funds, the Beasts Pirates gradually grew.

There was even an army of ability users coming out later.

Not bad among the Yonko Pirates.

But in this world now, it's completely different.

There is a huge gap in all aspects, money is not available, and people are not available.

After Jhin died, the group couldn't even find a second deputy. For the three disasters, there were only Quinn and Jack.

As for those Ling Kong Six Sons and the like, this is even more true.

Moreover, the reactionary forces in the country of Wano are also watching covetously, hoping to regain the country of Wano.

It can be regarded as internal and external troubles.

If Kaido hadn't been in charge himself, it would have been a long time ago.

So don't look at him pretending to be a Yonko.

But its current situation is quite embarrassing.

But despite Kaido's miserable life, he has a restless heart.

He knew very well that if this situation continued, he would have no choice but to go back further and further.

If he wants to stand up again, there must be enough chaos, even a big reshuffle, before he can take the chestnuts from the fire and see if he can find an opportunity to take off in the chaos.

So now he is unwilling to be lonely and wants to cause trouble.

Newgate still didn't speak, folding his arms and watching Charlotte?6?1 Lingling and Kaido perform there.

Seeing him like this, the two of them were not angry.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Charlotte?6?1 Lingling asked:

"The navy is powerful now. To be honest, I went to sea as a pirate when I was five years old. Now, I have been sailing the sea for decades, right? I have never seen the navy so powerful.

I have to admit that the Big 6 1 Mom pirates alone cannot shake the navy and cannot fight against it, but is it just me?

The same goes for you, Newgate, let me ask you, do you, an old man, have the ability to arm-wrestle with the Navy? "

Newgate sighed and shook his head.

This 'naval threat theory' has always been something pirates have repeatedly talked about when they want to join forces.

But in the past, this might have been an excuse.

But now, as Charlotte?6?1 Lingling said.

None of the three of them can defeat the navy.

By now, Newgate finally understood what Charlotte Lingling meant. These two bastards were still in an alliance.

It just lost its original strategic purpose.

Judging from this, he was planning to rope in the Whitebeard Pirates to join him.

So, what to do?

On a larger scale, it is to compete for the living space of the new world and to gain benefits for all pirates in the new world.

To put it bluntly, the navy is too strong. They understand that the navy is waiting for an opportunity to stop the pirates once they are free to deal with the pirates.

The four emperors must be the first to bear the brunt.

But Newgate didn't feel much urgency at the moment.

You may say that he is older or that his ambition is gone.

It was even said that he was dying. In short, Newgate didn't want to go through any trouble anymore.

He is tired.

He doesn't have that much energy, and like Charlotte?6?1 Lingling and Kaido, he wants to continue to cause trouble.

So Newgate didn't want to get involved.

But this is where the contradictions of human beings lie.

Newgate didn't want to cause trouble, but he knew very well that if he waited passively like this, something big would happen sooner or later.

We had no choice but to come to the Golden City to see Charlotte, Lingling, Kaido and the others.

Just like he said before.

There is no purpose, I just don’t exclude this meeting.

Or maybe Newgate wanted to hear it.

Listen to these two people and see if they can come up with a suitable reason to convince themselves.

If he could, he would still be happy to mix it up.

This is Newgate's complex mentality at this time.
