Chapter 240

The Bigo Pirates are located in Ten Thousand Countries and have always had close contact with the leaders of the underground world. Yang Ming needs to be fully prepared before he can accomplish his feats.

Otherwise, once the Bigo Pirates realize that the situation is not good, they choose to abandon the foundation of the nations and become rootless pirates again. With the power of the four emperors, they will be able to stir up the sea and cause frequent wars.

Even if Aunt Charlotte Lingling puts aside her dignity as a strong person and specifically attacks the weak naval branch base, it will cause huge casualties to the navy and indirectly shake Yang Ming's prestige.

It is precisely because of this that after Yang Ming determined the general direction of wiping out the Bigo Pirates before the decisive battle between the top war and the Whitebeard Pirates, the entire naval headquarters began to operate like a sophisticated machine.

A large amount of materials were shipped to Caesar Courant's scientific research institution. While expanding the scientific research manpower, they worked intensively to improve the production efficiency of artificial devil fruits, and began to set up a production line for the Iron Man Mark type armor, preparing to replace manual production with mechanization. Thus, large-scale production of Iron Man Mark-type battle armor can be achieved on a large scale.

The logistics department is also not idle. Guns, ammunition, knives, uniforms and boots, these seemingly ordinary supplies in daily life, all need to be prepared in large quantities. In the process, it is also necessary to strictly guard against someone cutting corners or taking advantage of others. Private pocket situation.

In particular, the production and maintenance of guns and ammunition are a top priority.

No one wants to suddenly find sand seeping into the shells when they are facing a war, right?

Yang Ming is not afraid to speculate on the quartermaster with the greatest malice, because he does not believe in human nature, does not believe that everyone has a noble character and can remain unmoved in the face of huge interests.

This is like modern builders building houses. Many walls are replaced with foam. It is simply a shoddy project. Is it possible that these builders are fools?

Of course not.

When the profit reaches 10%, they will be ready to take action. When the profit reaches 50%, they will take risks. When the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample all laws in the world. When the profit reaches 300%, they dare to risk hanging.

Every time the quartermaster withholds part of the supplies, it is the greatest betrayal to the soldiers who are about to go to the front line to fight.

To this end, Yang Ming also set up a special law enforcement team, which integrates supervision and law enforcement. The members are composed of a group of more loyal people from the governor's army. They specialize in supervising logistics production and maintenance in the logistics workshop, and do not allow any overstepping behavior.

In addition, Yang Ming selflessly taught the methods of the Vajra Indestructible Boy Kung Fu that the soldiers of the Governor's Army had originally practiced to everyone in the navy. Now that he is Marshal Shura, he is a well-known figure in the navy headquarters. Naturally, there is no need to worry about anyone coveting him. , which can be freely taught to all naval soldiers to improve their combat effectiveness.

The Vajra Indestructible Boy Kung Fu, once mastered, is equivalent to the state of a constant iron block throughout the body. If added with the iron block of the Sixth Form of the Navy, the defensive ability will be comparable to the armed domineering force.

What is even more gratifying is that the practice of this set of exercises progresses very quickly. As long as you can train strictly during the practice and have a large amount of protein food supply afterwards, you will be able to practice successfully in the shortest time.

Of course, this set of exercises has advantages and disadvantages. Read the book

The Vajra Indestructible Boy Skill, as the name suggests, is designed for singles to practice. Once you have a girlfriend, the skill will be broken. Not only will it be impossible to continue practicing, but it may also lead to the degradation of your cultivation.

Even with such a huge flaw, this is simply a magical skill when the navy is generally single.

Suddenly, there was a lively training scene at the Navy Headquarters and branches in various places. Almost everyone was rushing to practice the Vajra Indestructible Boy Kung Fu. As long as they could practice successfully, it meant that their survival rate on the battlefield would be greater in the future. Who doesn't want to survive?

In this regard, those naval officers and soldiers who had girlfriends or were already married could only stare blankly, with great annoyance and pain in their hearts. Some naval officers and soldiers even wrote a letter specifically for this and submitted it to Yang Ming, suggesting that Yang Ming Ming was able to create a practice for married people.

Obviously, they all regard the Vajra Indestructible Boy Kung Fu as a technique created by Yang Ming.

After all, even the Sixth Form of the Navy was created based on the simplification and deletion of the Armed Color Haki and the Knowledge Color Haki based on the research of previous naval predecessors.

They take it for granted that this is the result of Yang Mingqing being better than his master.

Yang Ming did not comment on these people's requests.

Of course, if these people really have such urgent needs, Yang Ming is not without options. He can always come up with some cultivation techniques for married people, such as the legendary one that requires self-constitution in order to succeed. Do you want to know about Sunflower Collection? Don't say that Yang Ming doesn't have it, even if he does, once this underworld thing spreads, I'm afraid the style of the entire navy will change badly.

Chapter 366 Undercurrent

Of course, if these people really have such urgent needs, Yang Ming is not without options. He can always come up with some cultivation techniques for married people, such as the legendary one that requires self-constitution in order to succeed. Do you want to know about Sunflower Collection? Don't say that Yang Ming doesn't have it, even if he does, once this underworld thing spreads, I'm afraid the style of the entire navy will change badly.

When they thought of the navy learning the Sunflower Book, many people twisted their fingers, held a needle and thread in their hands, and pretended to be coquettish. Even though Yang Ming had so much knowledge, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

As for those who already have girlfriends or are married, Yang Ming can only let them go if they are jealous and envious of their colleagues who practice the Vajra Indestructible Boy Skill. Who knows, when they have girlfriends or wives, they also suffer. As for the envy, jealousy, and hatred of their colleagues, now they have just changed their identities. Let’s just treat them as falling in love and killing each other.

Naturally, it is difficult for the Navy to hide large quantities of supplies in preparation for war from the attention of those who are interested.

Many forces have noticed that the prices of iron resources, wood resources, cloth resources and other materials on the market are rising steadily. Due to the stereotype that the Navy had previously made rumors that Ace, the Fire Fist, was to be executed, most people and forces subconsciously People thought that this was the navy preparing for the next decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.

In this regard, these forces are naturally willing to see the two tigers fighting each other and ending up with both sides losing. Whether it is the Whitebeard Pirates or the Navy, they are the top forces in the sea and are the mountains above their heads.

If they suffer heavy losses after a battle, other forces will have a chance to take the lead.

Especially since Yang Ming took office as the marshal of the Navy Headquarters, he has completely wiped out the mafia, bandits and pirates in the four seas and the great shipping lanes. This has made many people hope to see the navy suffer a heavy setback, so that there will be no extra energy and As long as they can continue to suppress bandits, they can live a comfortable life.

In order to inflict heavy losses on the Navy, many forces have donated their money to snap up iron resources, wood resources, fabric resources and other materials on the market, viciously driving up market prices, and in disguise, making the Navy purchase materials at higher prices, thus unable to satisfy the needs of the Navy. Necessary for naval warfare.

Among these many forces, the nobles of Xihai are the most important.

When Yang Ming was still the governor of the West Sea, he implemented the strategy of suppressing bandits in the West Sea. Once any nobles related to the mafia were caught by Yang Ming, their homes would be confiscated, or their mouths would be silenced. This caused complaints from the nobles of various countries in the West Sea, and even later even Invite the World Government and the Five Old Stars to put pressure on Yang Ming.

If Yang Ming hadn't activated the identity of Dark Night Lord Li Qing, led the Dark Night Pirates to steal homes, and destroyed the Holy Land of Mariejoia, thereby involving a lot of energy from the World Government and leaving them no time to pay attention to the West Sea, I'm afraid Yang Ming's original The annihilation strategy must be abandoned halfway.

Since Yang Ming didn't have any constraints, he naturally went to work in the West Sea.

The nobility of the West Sea has been inherited for eight hundred years. Over these hundreds of years, various nobles have intermarried with each other. They have long been kinship relationships with each other, forming a de facto community of interests.

Yang Ming ransacked the homes of some nobles and silenced them. Due to Yang Ming's top combat power, these nobles dared not speak out in the past, for fear of attracting the attention of Marshal Shura, who was always known for his iron fist, and casually finding some evidence for them. Do it again They would confiscate their homes and silence them, but if they could do some small tricks behind the scenes to make Marshal Shura uncomfortable, the nobles of the West Sea would still be happy to do so.

It is precisely for this reason that the nobles of the West Sea are the most enthusiastic group to snap up supplies on the market. They do not hesitate to spend money like water, squandering all the wealth their family has accumulated for hundreds of years, and snapping up a large amount of iron, cloth and other resources on the market that are of no use to them. Once it is empty, it is just to prevent the navy from getting sufficient logistical supplies, thereby suffering more losses on the battlefield.

It has to be said that the nobles of the West Sea are very good at doing things that harm others without benefiting themselves.

Unfortunately, they overlooked one thing.

Yang Mingsu always takes things one step at a time and always considers everything before doing something. Even if he makes an oversight, he has Lieutenant General Jonathan around him to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. How could there be such a big loophole for these forces? To take advantage of the loophole?

What's more, Yang Ming now owns many islands and countries such as Water City, Wano Country, Sky Island, etc., and has the savings of the Dinosaur Chamber of Commerce for several years. Even if these forces rush to buy supplies in a short period of time, he can guarantee the navy's logistics. It is sufficient and will not be cut off by others.

In fact, the news that the Navy was planning a large amount of supplies was secretly instructed by Yang Ming and secretly fueled by the Akatsuki organization, so that it was able to spread in the shortest time.

When these forces that are secretly hostile to Yang Ming and the navy start to raise prices, thinking that they can secretly attack Yang Ming, the Dinosaur Chamber of Commerce will quietly take action and sell off the materials they have hoarded at low prices over the years at high prices.

The Dinosaur Chamber of Commerce is extremely wealthy. Over the years, it has made a lot of money by relying on the exclusive right to sell special items on the empty island. A large number of shell items that were useless on the empty island have been resold to the nobles of the Blue Sea. It is often possible to sell hundreds of thousands or millions of Baileys, and then purchase materials in large quantities at low prices through their own business channels.

No one knows how much supplies the Dinosaur Chamber of Commerce has accumulated in the giant warehouse built in the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

When this huge batch of materials poured into the market, it not only indirectly absorbed a large amount of materials from these hostile forces, but also brought the market price back to the normal curve.

Over the past few days, market price fluctuations have been comparable to those of Bitcoin. From its initial straight-line rise, countless people reveled and invested more money to continue to drive up the price. Later, it collapsed like a cliff. The forces in the dark vomited blood and were directly beaten back to their original form.

Those iron resources, wood resources, cloth resources and other materials are of some use to powerful forces such as the navy. They can be processed into guns, bullets, warships, and uniforms. But for forces like the West Sea nobles, they are simply a bunch of people. Trash, rubbish, absolutely useless.

When they thought that they had spent hundreds of years of wealth accumulated by their ancestors to buy back a pile of rubbish, many Xihai nobles were so angry that they fainted. Some even couldn't think about it for a while. They were unapologetically ashamed of their ancestors and even chose to hang themselves. Suicide, for a while, nobles in various countries in the West Sea held funerals, which looked extremely desolate.

Chapter 367 Whereabouts

When they thought that they had spent hundreds of years of wealth accumulated by their ancestors to buy back a pile of rubbish, many Xihai nobles were so angry that they fainted. Some even couldn't think about it for a while. They were unapologetically ashamed of their ancestors and even chose to hang themselves. Suicide, for a while, nobles in various countries in the West Sea held funerals, which looked extremely desolate.

In just one month, many forces, including the nobles of the West Sea, failed to secretly attack Yang Ming. Instead, they were defeated in the market by Yang Ming's pig-killing plate.

Yang Ming not only harvested a large amount of gold and baileys, but also after the market prices stabilized, many forces who originally snapped up supplies chose to stop their losses in time and sell the purchased supplies at low prices, although there would still be losses. , but it can also be saved, so that it will not be a complete defeat, allowing Yang Ming to harvest a large amount of materials at a low price, which can be said to have won twice.

Confrontations in the market are different from battlefields. There is no visible light or shadow of swords, but they are equally fierce and cruel.

Many people were horrified when they saw the fate of these losers, and then suddenly recalled that Marshal Shura was not only known as a cold-blooded iron fist, but also had a resourcefulness that was not inferior to the Marshal of the Warring States Period.

For a while, everything was calm.

The forces that originally wanted to fish in troubled waters stopped and watched, not daring to challenge the authority of Marshal Shura at this sensitive time, lest they fall into the fate of the West Sea nobles and others, and they would become the butt of jokes for future generations.

While the navy and other major forces were competing in the market, the red-haired pirates also took a rest for a while, then took the Red Foss and came to the island closest to Red Harbor to anchor. .

Red Port is an island under the Red Continent, and it is also the most important port city to the Holy Land Marie Joa.

Due to the sensitive identity of the Red-haired Pirates, Red-haired Shanks, wearing a black robe, left the Pirates alone and went to the Red Port, avoiding the patrols of the Navy and the eyes and ears of others, and quietly boarded the holy land of Mariejoia. .

The Four Emperors, who are familiar to the world, seem to be very familiar with the holy land of Mary Geoa. It is like returning to their own home, avoiding many CP0 secret posts along the way and sneaking into Pangu City.

In this splendid Pangu City, heavily armed guards patrol the corridors every once in a while, even if this kind of work is extremely boring. They patrol mechanically 365 days a day, not missing any trace of trouble.

The red-haired Shanks seemed to be in a deserted place, and no one could detect his presence along the way.

When red-haired Shanks turned into a huge conference room, there were already five old men waiting there for a long time.

When he saw that one of the old men had been replaced by the slightly unfamiliar Kobra, the red-haired Shanks was slightly startled. After searching through his memory, he recognized that this man was from the former Kingdom of Alabasta. The king bowed slightly towards him as a greeting.

Although Cobra's face was expressionless, there was already a storm in his heart.

This Four Emperors, who is famous on the sea, is secretly connected with the Five Old Stars?

Could it be that red-haired Shanks is actually a pawn secretly laid out by the World Government?

Or is he a descendant of the Celestial Dragon family?

If Kobra hadn't become the Five Old Stars, I'm afraid he would still be kept in the dark to this day. He would still think that the World Government is hostile to the Four Emperors. Isn't it true that they are all deceiving the world?

Even Kobra was like this, not to mention the crescent moon hunter Katarina Depen who was disguised as Saint Jegorlusia Satan. The shock in her heart was no less than that of Kobra, or even more.

Fortunately, Quarter Moon Hunter Caterina Deppen is an outstanding actress. She has not revealed her secrets during this period of time. And through observation and learning, she is now able to put on the aura of a five-star star and quietly Sitting on the sofa makes it impossible to ignore.

An old man with blond hair and a golden beard loosened his collar slightly. There was an obvious scar on his open chest. It was unknown what kind of sharp weapon it was. He raised his eyes and looked at the red-haired Shanks and said:

"You should know that with your status, it is not appropriate for us to meet you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be waiting for you here early in the morning."

"What happened that made you come to meet us in person?"

Hearing this, red-haired Shanks found a sofa and sat down.

Immediately, the red-haired Shanks glanced at the blond old man's side, Jaygo Lucia Satan Saint, from the corner of his eye, and frowned slightly. Like Captain Roger, he had the ability to listen to the sounds of all things, and for some reason he noticed this. The five old stars seem to be different from before, and they always feel a bit awkward.

But now is not the time to think about this.

Red-haired Shanks pointed to the vacancy in the scabbard on his waist, smiled bitterly, and said:

"Look, my sword Griffin is missing."

Hearing this, the five old men frowned, not understanding what kind of medicine Red-haired Shanks was selling in his gourd.

It's not like you came to them to ask for help in finding a sword, right?

Seeing that his words aroused everyone's emotions, red-haired Shanks continued:

"The person who took Griffin away is also an old acquaintance of yours. It is the captain of the Dark Night Pirates and the Lord of the Night, Li Qing, who single-handedly destroyed the Holy Land Mariejoia!" ap.

"Is this true?" The blond old man exclaimed.

"It's absolutely true." Red-haired Shanks stroked the empty scabbard. Without the sword Griffin, he felt as if his wife had been kidnapped. He always felt empty and without support. He gritted his teeth and said: "That The bastard planted a magic tree on Gaya Island. I originally wanted to destroy the magic tree, but I didn't expect that the Lord of Darkness, Li Qing, came out to stop it and fought with me and Hawkeye."

"In that battle, I could clearly feel that the opponent did not use all his strength, but he was able to advance and retreat naturally with the cooperation of Hawkeye and I, and at the same time, he also took away Griffin and Black Blade Night."

"I can foresee that that magic tree is not simple. I am not being alarmist now, but I am here to warn you that if that magic tree is allowed to continue to grow, it may have the ability to destroy the world. Therefore, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and do nothing. We can only use thunder to destroy the demonic tree before it grows up."

From the tone of the red-haired Shanks' gritted teeth, the Five Old Stars could clearly feel the opponent's aggrievedness and resentment. It was obvious that during the fight with the Lord of the Dark Night, Li Qing, he did not take any advantage, and even He suffered a lot secretly, but as for the magic tree he mentioned, the Five Old Stars didn't take it seriously. What they cared about most was the whereabouts of Li Qing, the Lord of the Dark Night.

Chapter 368 Lord Im

From the tone of the red-haired Shanks' gritted teeth, the Five Old Stars could clearly feel the opponent's aggrievedness and resentment. It was obvious that during the fight with the Lord of the Dark Night, Li Qing, he did not take any advantage, and even He suffered a lot secretly, but as for the magic tree he mentioned, the Five Old Stars didn't take it seriously. What they cared about most was the whereabouts of Li Qing, the Lord of the Dark Night.

In the eyes of the Five Old Stars, what Red-haired Shanks said about the demon tree having the ability to destroy the world is purely alarmist nonsense, just to attract their attention. The real focus is still on the Lord of the Dark Night, Li Qing. .

They will not forget that it is precisely because they have been unable to trace the whereabouts of the Lord of the Night Li Qing in recent years that they have lost the most important impression points in front of Lord Yimu, causing them all to be criticized by Lord Yimu, causing them One of them was removed from office, and Kobra was elected as the Fifth Elder.

It is conceivable that if they are still unable to find the whereabouts of Li Qing, the Lord of the Dark Night, others may continue to suffer and be dismissed from get out of class.

Those who have tasted power will never give up the power easily.

What's more, this is the authority of the Five Old Stars that is subordinate to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

At this time, they finally learned the whereabouts of Li Qing, the Lord of the Dark Night. The five old stars looked at each other, and they obviously had a tacit understanding. No one wanted to monopolize the benefits of this information. Later, the five of them would need to go together to meet Im. grown ups.

For the sake of stability, Wu Laoxing had a friendly exchange with Red-haired Shanks next. Adhering to the principle of mutual benefit, the two parties exchanged opinions and reached a consensus.

The Lord of Darkness, Li Qing, and that terrifying demon tree must be eradicated!

After the red-haired Shanks left Pangu City with satisfaction, the five of them went to the flowers deep in Pangu City to meet the supreme king who is above all living beings.

The Holy Land Mariejoia was once destroyed by the Night Pirates and rebuilt. All buildings were built one to one according to the original style, even among the flowers.

Arch-column buildings can be seen everywhere here. The columns are powerful in shape, with thick and simple lines. The capital is a simple inverted cone-shaped disk. The column under the capital is smaller and larger, showing a trend of closing points. The height-to-width ratio of the column is more It reaches a ratio of 1:5 and looks thick and stable.

There are stone carvings on the walls, and there are many temple-like buildings. The worshiped gods hold devil fruits in their hands, and underneath there are many stick figure figures kneeling in worship, which seems to describe the ignorant and dark era eight hundred years ago. Here, those with devil fruit abilities are worshiped as gods by the world.

This is not the first time that the Five Old Stars have come to the Flower Room. Apart from the initial restraint and awe, the rest of the time they are more afraid than respectful, because no one can guess what Lord Im is thinking in his heart. Not to mention that I didn't know that my answers and actions would be satisfactory to me, so I was always in a state of uneasiness.

On the long red carpet, the five old stars and their entourage came slowly.

Kobra raised his eyes and looked at the stairs going up. Nineteen of the king's sharp blades were inserted upside down in front of the throne.

In the past, he did not know the meaning of these 19 sharp blades inserted upside down in front of the throne. During this period of time, Kobra looked through the diaries passed down from generation to generation by the Neferutari family, trying to find the existence of Lord Im, and the existence of Lord Im. It really made him find some clues.

Although, no serious person can keep a diary.

But it is obvious that the ancestors of the Neferutali family tried to leave a few words in the diary to pass the truth to future generations in a subtle way, so that they would not forget the will of D of their family.

Yes, you read that right.
