From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

The Umbrella Group and the Drum Kingdom benefit each other.

The Umbrella Group is responsible for transporting food and other daily necessities and raw materials needed to manufacture medicines to the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, and purchasing medicines and medical devices produced by the Magnetic Drum Kingdom at high prices.

The Drum Kingdom is an important pharmaceutical production base for the Navy and the World Government.

Logically speaking, neither the Navy nor the World Government would easily allow the Umbrella Group to monopolize the pharmaceutical trade with the Drum Kingdom.

But the Umbrella Group uses its "money" power.

More importantly, the Navy and the World Government have discovered the benefits of the Umbrella Group's intervention.

After the Umbrella Group joined, the quality and quantity of medicines obtained by the Navy and the World Government were greatly improved.

The Drum Kingdom became richer, and the country's medical standards steadily improved with sufficient raw materials.

The Umbrella Corporation made huge profits by selling drugs produced by the Drum Kingdom as well as its own internal production.

It can be said that the Navy, the World Government, the Drum Kingdom and the Umbrella Corporation are all very satisfied with this cooperation.

The only ones that may not be very satisfactory are those that roam the sea near the Drum Kingdom.

In the past, they could use their own advantages to drive down the prices of medicines and medical equipment produced by the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, while selling food and other daily necessities and raw materials to the Magnetic Drum Kingdom at high prices.

But now their good days are gone.

In response, the Umbrella Group said: Who cares whether you live or die?

No matter how badly these big merchants act, they are not honest people. They will not accept this bitter fruit and will only try to find a way to retaliate against the Umbrella Group.

The big sea merchants bribed many pirates roaming around, whether they had a bounty or not, they were attracted by their high rewards and came to target the Umbrella Group.

They even commissioned the underworld to offer a bounty for Spot's head.

Not to mention that both the [Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils] and [Divine Punishment] organizations have received bounties from Spot.

Unfortunately, the Umbrella Group is not a pushover.

Faced with the advanced weapons purchased by the Umbrella Group from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as well as the fearless guards, they went straight to the heart of the matter and wiped out this group of big sea merchants.

After seeing their financial sponsor's death, the pirates who had gathered together immediately scattered.

From then on, the Umbrella Group became the dominant force in the waters of the Drum Kingdom and several nearby waters.

From then on, it also monopolized the trade of medicines and medical equipment with the Magnetic Drum Kingdom.

Of course, a large portion of the trade produced by the Drum Kingdom is reserved for the Navy, the World Government, and other member states that have good relations with the Drum Kingdom.

But even so, the Umbrella Group is still making a lot of money.

While underwriting the drugs and medical devices of the Drum Kingdom, the Umbrella Group also sells various drugs and medical devices developed by itself, ranging from small hemostatic sprays to various advanced medical devices.

Looking at the Magnetic Drum Island getting closer and closer, Spot's thoughts were racing.

After a moment, he sighed faintly: "Alas! I hope the old king of the Drum Kingdom can make the right decision this time."

Since coming into contact with the Drum Kingdom, the Umbrella Group has been trying to purchase a devil fruit from the Drum Kingdom's treasury.

However, due to the obstruction of Prince Wapol and the fact that the Drum Kingdom was not so poor as to sell devil fruits, the old king of the Drum Kingdom did not agree.

Thinking of this, Sport murmured, "If you still don't agree this time, then I can only use some extraordinary measures."

The reason why Sport is here now is very simple.

He received news some time ago that the old king of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom was dying.

The wheel of history rolls on, and the future tyrant of the Drum Kingdom, Wapol, is about to take the stage.

By then, the relationship between the Umbrella Group and the Drum Kingdom would definitely take a sharp turn for the worse, and at the same time, the Swallow-Swallow Fruit that Xia Jieren thought of would also be eaten by Wapol.

Crises are also opportunities.

When Wapol makes one stupid move after another and public resentment boils over, the Umbrella Group can take the opportunity to recruit the outstanding doctors of the Drum Kingdom, and even imprison or sideline Wapol without anyone noticing.

Then, it is also possible to bring back Mushulu, the user of the Fungus-Fun Fruit who was exiled to the Land of Fire, and extract the Fungus-Fun Fruit from his body.

Sports was thinking about the next plan in his mind.

At this time, the Umbrella Group's fleet also began to dock.

The gangway was lowered and Spott was the first to land on Magnetic Drum Island.

A man with a strong build and a resolute face walked towards me.

Sport smiled and greeted, "Dalton, long time no see."

That’s right, the person who came was Dalton, the captain of the guard of the Drum Kingdom. He was friendly and honest, deeply loved by the people and very loyal to the kingdom.

At the same time, he is also the user of the Animal-type, Bull-Bull Fruit, and Bison form Devil Fruit.

In the future, Dalton will work with Luffy and others to overthrow the rule of Wapol, replace the Drum Kingdom, and become the king of the Sakura Kingdom.

Dalton said respectfully: "Master Spot, welcome to the Drum Kingdom."

Dalton had met Sport, the boss of the Umbrella Group, many times and was no stranger to him.

After chatting for a while, the two sides went to the palace of the Drum Kingdom under the leadership of Dalton.

On the cable car, Spott looked down at Magnetic Drum Island and exclaimed, "What a beautiful view."

Dalton smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it here."

Half an hour later, Spot met the gloomy old king.

After looking around, Spot didn't see Wapol, so he thought he must have gone out to play.

The old king said weakly: "Welcome...you...come."

When Spot saw the old king's exhausted look, he knew that he would not live long.

Afterwards, he went straight to the point and negotiated with the old king without further ado.

More than ten minutes later, Sport, led by Dalton, left the palace hall.

As he walked out of the gate, Spott had an idea: "The old king has once again rejected the request to purchase the Swallowing Fruit. Next, we will implement the backup plan."

After receiving the response, Spot politely declined Dalton's request for hospitality and went straight back down the mountain.

Back on the ship, Spot waited quietly for the cargo to be loaded.

He sat on the chair, bowed his head and thought: "The old king will probably not survive this month. It will be Valpo's turn next."

"First I need to prepare myself to receive the Drum Kingdom's doctors."

"Secondly, we must find a way to infiltrate the Drum Kingdom."

Thinking of this, Sports felt a bit of a headache.

It is really difficult to infiltrate a relatively closed island like the Drum Kingdom.

There are few people here and the mobility is low, so if a stranger suddenly appears in front of them, he will be discovered quickly.

"If all else fails, find Dalton to be your puppet."

"But he probably won't agree readily."

"Dalton is a rather loyal person. If he had not been extremely disappointed with the royal family, he would not have rebelled."

"Perhaps we can use the people of the Drum Kingdom to hold him hostage."
