From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Chapter 148 Return x Harvest

Garp and Vice Admiral Roberts both nodded seriously.

As righteous naval commanders, they also hoped in their hearts that the Kingdom of the Netherlands could survive.

Finally, General Zhan Guo asked, "Lieutenant General Roberts, complete the task of escorting Tian Shangjin as soon as possible."

"There has been unrest all over the world recently, and we urgently need manpower to suppress it."

"And there is no room for loss of gold in heaven."

"The World Government and the Celestial Dragons attach extraordinary importance to Tenjo Gold."

"Once there is a mistake in the gold in the sky, the navy's military expenditure will be...Alas!"

Hearing the exhausted voice of Sengoku from Den Den Mushi, Lieutenant General Roberts assured: "I will complete the mission."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Walking onto the deck, the gentle breeze caressed his ferocious and hideous face.

The depression and unhappiness that remained in his heart were gradually blown away.

......

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Early this morning, Xia Jieren arrived at the Port of East, waiting for the return of the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce.

In the heart network.

"Master, the harvest this time has been sorted out!"

Fan Li reported happily, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

Seeing Fan Li like this, Xia Jieren also smiled, "It seems that this harvest is good, otherwise Fan Li would not be so excited."

Then he looked at Fan Li with anticipation, motioning him to continue his report.

"All the goods brought by the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce were sold out this time, with total sales of approximately 132.83512 billion." Fan Li said in a trembling voice.

Xia Jieren was also shocked by this string of numbers for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and thought about it carefully, realizing that this was actually very normal.

"All the goods produced by the Zerg are high-quality products. They are hard to beat in the same category. Moreover, most of them are high-end luxury goods like porcelain and silk, which are specially used to serve the rich and powerful. So it is not surprising to have such sales volume."

"Huh~" After Fan Li calmed down his excitement, he continued, "The total profit is about 85.3 billion Baileys."

Xia Jieren couldn't help but curl up his lips. "You know, this is a number calculated after taking into account labor costs. If you don't count the labor costs of the insect people, you will make more money."

"Tsk~, nearly 300% profit." Xia Jieren couldn't help but smack his lips: "It's really profitable. In just about a month, there is such a profit."

“No wonder so many people are jealous.”

"If it were me, I would definitely not be able to help myself."

Xia Jieren laughed at himself in his heart.

Fan Li continued his report: "On the way, the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce purchased countless treasures such as mutton-fat jade in various islands and countries, and purchased special products from various islands, iron ore, coal ore, copper ore, wood and other raw materials totaling 620 tons, 37 strange creatures, and more than 36,000 books."

"In addition, two thousand two hundred and twenty-eight slaves of various occupations were purchased."

"Slave?" Xia Jieren suddenly interrupted in confusion.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Fan Li was also stunned for a moment, and then repeated: "Two thousand two hundred and twenty-eight slaves of various professions."

"Nothing!" Xia Jieren shook his head and thought to himself, "I didn't expect the slave trade in the West Sea to be so rampant. I thought it was only like this in the Grand Line."

The slave trade is nothing new in the world of One Piece. We can see this from the original work, where slaves were trafficked from all over the world to the Sabaody Archipelago.

The slave trade in the Sabaody Archipelago was directly exposed to the sun.

But Xia Jieren never imagined that the slave trade around the world would be so blatant.

While listening to Fan Li's report, Xia Jieren quickly flipped through the information on these slaves.

There were people from all professions, including common people, merchants, carpenters, bricklayers, stonemasons, craftsmen, scholars, servants, etc., and most of them were young and middle-aged people in good health. Only thirteen scholars looked like old people.

They were wearing tattered white robes, had messy hair, rough skin, deep eye sockets, heavy dark circles under their eyelids, and looked ordinary.

The only thing that caught people's eyes was their wise eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything.

"Uh~, they are suspected to be the remnants of O'Hara." Xia Jieren was curious about their origins, so he took a casual glance. It was this glance that made him stunned.

Xia Jieren's mouth twitched: "How is it possible! If it is really the remnants of O'Hara, the World Government and the Navy would have taken action long ago."

"In order to make money, these black-hearted slave traders have no shame at all." Xia Jieren complained speechlessly, "No, they don't have any conscience at all, let alone face."

"Twenty-one scholars and their families, costing a total of 3.2 million Baileys."

Xia Jieren muttered something, then clicked his tongue twice: "Tsk, tsk, this price is not bad, I respect knowledge."

After reading the relevant information of twenty-one scholars, Xia Jieren did not read any further.

He was only a little interested in this group of scholars. To be honest, these scholars were not of much use to Xia Jieren. He bought them just in the hope that they could provide different knowledge.

As for the other slaves, Xia Jieren directly asked Fan Long and others to arrange them.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is generally still very short of people, and these slaves will definitely be put to good use.

Although it cost a lot of money to buy slaves, Xia Jieren did not feel sorry about it.

If you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf.

One day, Xia Jieren will definitely gain something.

When he saw Xia Jieren thinking, Fan Li stopped reporting and stood quietly aside.

"Excuse me! Please continue."

Seeing Fan Li standing motionless beside him, Xia Jieren touched the back of his head with his right hand and smiled slightly apologetically.

"It's a pity that I didn't buy the devil fruit and the famous sword this time." Fan Li said with a little regret.

If the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce can get one or two devil fruits this time, this voyage will be perfect.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. You can't force it." Xia Jieren waved his hand indifferently, and then revealed a piece of news: "'Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils' has been developing well recently. I believe it will soon become famous in the underground world of the West Sea."

"There will be plenty of opportunities to obtain devil fruits in the future."

"Hmm~" Fan Li nodded slightly and continued, "This time we cooperated with 'Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes' to open 67 offices in 42 islands and 11 countries."

"Very good!" Xia Jieren praised first, and then reminded: "Keep it confidential!"

"Master, please rest assured!" Fan Li said confidently, "On the surface, the office serves the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce, but secretly it is an intelligence station for the 'Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils'. The two will not have any intersection."

"In addition, the heads of each office and important nodes are all insect people."

Hearing this, Xia Jieren was no longer worried.

What a joke, if even the insects can't be trusted, then who can be trusted?
