Raise your glass and ignite the world of One Piece

Underground world.

Since we have the idea of ​​expanding our business to the whole world, we cannot ignore this aspect.

In the chaotic era of great pirates, the world government's control over the world through its navy was always only apparent.

And those chaotic businesses secretly affect every aspect of the world at a level that ordinary people cannot touch.

Illegal loan sharking, arms and weapons trafficking, smuggling and transportation, human trafficking, kidnapping and assassination, intelligence trafficking and even corpse organ trafficking, etc...

The huge energy they control cannot even be ignored by the world government.

The most obvious example is that a large part of the navy's weapons and equipment even have to be obtained through intermediaries in the underground world.

Codename "Joker", former Celestial Dragon, current king of the Shichibukai, King of Dressrosa, Don Quixote Doflamingo.

This man is now the most popular intermediary in the underground world.

Because of his black-and-white status, his business was extremely large.

Even strategic resources such as the navy's sea floor stone came from his transit transactions.

The old bird like Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, who has repeatedly made trouble in the news but is dancing more and more happily, is also one of them.

In the underground world, the title "big news" not only means news and public opinion, but also the latest, fastest and most accurate information!

Other businesses such as transportation, warehousing, finance, entertainment, and even the flesh and blood business and funeral business are all controlled by their own "emperors".

If Wien wanted to take his business to the world, it would be transportation, warehousing, finance and journalism, among other things.

These four "emperors" were the ones he had to deal with.

Maybe the Joker is the same.

Ah, the one who entertains is indispensable.

“It is precisely because scum dominates the world that more scum will be produced——

"This principle applies to the Heavenly Dragons and those in power, and it also applies to the dark emperors of the underground world!"

Kidd describes the underground world this way:

“Even if we do bad things, at least we still have some benevolence and morality.

"Those guys don't even spit out bones when they eat people!"

When Wien was on the island of Spitsberg, he did some research.

Compared with the gangsters who rule the country, Kidd and Kira's delinquent street fighter group can indeed be said to be childish.

It was also at that time that Wayne discovered that they were connected to the underground world——

The arms and weapons of these bandits are all smuggled from the underground world.

It was also from that time that Wayne began to consider finding an opportunity to intervene in this huge force that had always seemed to be ignored.

It would be great if Kidd knew something about them.

However, with his current strength, although he can be a stepping stone, he cannot determine his status.

Therefore, we must first cultivate a force that no one can ignore.

After returning to the Sobel Kingdom, William had prepared pharmaceutical equipment and was on standby.

Kidd and Kira have also arrived at their hometown of Spitsberg Island and are gathering manpower.

"Karl, when William and I are away, it's up to you."

Wayne very solemnly handed over the task of looking after the house to Karl, who looked unsure:

"You have worked hard these days, and you can relax when Kidd and Kira come back."

"President, am I too useless?"

Karl knocked on his head, looking frustrated:

"I haven't been able to develop a truly practical ability with the teleportation fruit until now. It's just used for moving goods."

William's management skills, bartending skills and pharmaceutical skills can fundamentally help Wayne.

Kidd and Kira have always been the objects of competition with Karl.

Not only were they helpful in running the tavern, they were also good at selling alcohol.

Kidd even has extremely high mechanical talent, and the president even gave him the task of transforming merchant ships.

And they're about to bring a bunch of younger guys.

Karl's wine tasting skills are of no use at the moment, and it is very difficult to develop teleportation fruits.

He was even a little confused, where could he play a role next?

"The development of abilities does not happen overnight, so don't take it to heart."

Wayne understood that Carl was worried about his position in this team with ambitious goals.

He thought for a moment and took a newspaper that was placed on the bar.

"Let me ask you, what was the fifth news item on page three of yesterday's newspaper?"

"The sea train station 'Sift Station' off the Great Line 'City of Seven Waters' has been officially completed, and government officials from around the world will be invited to cut the ribbon soon."

Karl didn't hesitate at all.

"Um……"

Wayne turned to the fifth page of the third page and found it word for word.

"William, pick out some old newspapers and give them to me."

"Yes, President."

William looked at his old friend Karl with some surprise, and quickly found two old newspapers.

"The newspaper from yesterday, page [-], article [-]?"

"The Grand Line criminal group 'Baroque Works' has a new senior cadre, code-named Mr. 3, whose true identity is unknown."

"The newspaper from five days ago, the front page headline...huh?!"

Wayne was stunned, but Karl continued speaking:

"The World Government announced the capture of senior cadres of the criminal organization 'Revolutionary Army'.

"The king of the 'Kamabaka Kingdom', the 'Monster King' Ambrio Ivankov, known as the 'Man of Miracles', has been thrown into Impel Down City!"

Having said this, Karl couldn't help feeling a chill and shivering.

"Hiss... Shemale King? That face is as tall as two of me!"

"President?"

William noticed Wayne's strange behavior and asked tentatively:

"Have you not read the newspaper these days?"

"No, it seems that the newspaper bird doesn't dare to approach the Kingdom of Trino. The indigenous people there like to catch game for hotpot, especially birds."

"Uh……"

William's interruption made Wayne react.

This time, what Karl said was still exactly as it was in the newspaper.

"Karl, now you find out?"

Wayne placed several newspapers in front of Karl, who also blushed with excitement.

"Since I met you in the windless zone, although your navigation skills can only be said to be average.

"But your insight into intelligence and your strong memory are what I have always noticed."

The Kuja Pirates, Bartela Island, Spitsberg Island, are included in the current Sobel Kingdom.

Every time Wayne needed information, it was Karl who could provide it in time.

"What you, the foreman of the tavern, have developed is not only your service skills and patience, but also your sensitivity to intelligence.

"In addition to fighting, your teleportation fruit is also useful for collecting and even spying on intelligence."

"Yes, president!"

Karl's face turned red with excitement.

He didn't even notice it himself.

As Wayne said, his duties as a tavern maître d' allow him to often face a variety of guests.

And the countless messages they bring with them.

Taverns have always been a good place to get information.

It was in this environment that he slowly became extremely interested in all kinds of gossip.

Even William didn't have the habit of reading newspapers, but Karl had to read newspapers.

Even if he doesn't meet the newspaper bird, Carl will try to collect newspapers from elsewhere.

"Then work hard. No matter for any organization, you don't understand the importance of intelligence, right?"

William smiled and patted Karl on the shoulder, calling William over.

"Then let's go now, I'll leave this to you."

"Don't worry, President!"

Karl was as confident as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood:

"I will not disappoint you!"

……

The large ship built by the natives of Trino Kingdom was left behind by Ven.

This time he and William took the Brewmaster.

The speed of the Brewmaster was much faster than that of the big ship, and they returned to the Kingdom of Trino in only half the time it took them to return.

Moreover, because of the Jiu Xian's complete telephone bug communication system, he and Carl who stayed behind at the bar did not lose contact.

"President, Kidd and Kira have already brought people here, but please forgive me."

William seemed to hesitate for a long time, and then asked Wayne about the question:

“Those bad guys, it takes a lot of work just to train them.

"The most important thing is that they are all Kidd's team - Kira's team is Kidd's team."

He tried his best to consider his words:

"This guy Kidd has always regarded you as the enemy to be defeated. Do you really feel safe placing such a group of 'owners' in a wine club?"

"William, you still don't understand the domineering power of Overlord."

"Overlord color..."

"Well, every owner of a domineering color, let alone the 'king's qualifications', is at least a guy with a strong self-esteem."

“Rebel against authority, against tradition, against order, but beneath the surface of rebellion is unparalleled determination and self-confidence.

"Once he decides what to do, he will never allow cunning tricks to undermine his integrity."

"So, he can't beat me for a day, but he is our best helper for a day."
