One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 253 Give the World Government a Face

"Captain, after I refine my cone head into a black cone, I will be able to stop a navy admiral!"

Qingjiao touched his cone head and smiled.

The swordsman's dream is to forge his own black sword, and Qingjiao's dream is to connect his cone head into a black cone!

"Hahahahaha, I believe you can do it. Let's go to the island and have a rest!"

Li Yuan smiled and said that these two were crew members he was very optimistic about. They would most likely reach the level of naval admirals in the future. He believed in his own vision and also believed in his crew members!
"Oh my god, the Infinite Pirates won. Navy Admiral Zephyr and Navy Hero Garp were defeated by the Infinite Pirates!"

"Great! In this case, Grimaud Island is safe, and the trade will not be disrupted by the navy anymore!"

"Hurry, hurry, inform the king and ask him to quickly deliver the supplies that the Wuji Pirates need for the trade. If you come too late, I'm afraid that the goods brought by the Wuji Pirates will be sold out!"

"."

After seeing Hades dock and the navy hero Garp's warship retreat, the people on Grimaud Island began to contact the forces behind them and strengthen their trade with Grimaud Island.

The members of the Wuji Pirates also began to move the goods obtained from Grimaud Island into space scrolls, and then transported the space scrolls back to the Wuji Sea, and then processed them into commodities by many factories.

The goods that need to be sold are then transported to Grimaud Island for sale, thus forming a closed-loop trade.

"Oh? I didn't expect that Zhan Guo would attack our Wuji Sea!"

After Li Yuan came to the island to rest, he saw the message Xia Qi sent him.

"It seems that Barrett and his men have grown a lot and are now able to stop Zhan Guo. Not bad, in a few years, Barrett will have fully grown up."

Li Yuan smiled with relief when he saw the news that Barrett and his team were able to stop Zhan Guo together.

The strength of the Warring States period is not comparable to that of the current Zefa. The current Zefa can be said to be barely considered a top-level combat force.

But Sengoku, who possesses the domineering Haki, is only slightly weaker than Garp, who is a navy admiral who can fight against Whitebeard.

That is to say, Sengoku's attack power is not as strong as Whitebeard's. If it were Whitebeard, Barrett and the others would not be able to stop Whitebeard.

"Morgause, you should know about Grimaud Island."

Li Yuan took out the Den Den Mushi and called Morgans.

"It turns out to be the world's number one swordsman, Lord Li Yuan. Hehehe, Lord Li Yuan is really well-informed. I just got the information and Lord Li Yuan knew it!"

"This is big news. Lord Li Yuan, don't worry. I will definitely praise you and let your reputation of defeating the navy hero Garp spread."

Morgans said excitedly.

After hearing what Morgause said, Li Yuan finally understood what it meant to talk nonsense. On the first day, he saw a news bird on Grimaud Island. This guy knew about it seven days ago and told him that he had just learned the news.

This guy simply wanted to wait until the result of the battle between Li Yuan and Garp came out before releasing it together, so that the headlines would be more eye-catching!

"Morgance, nothing about Grimaud Island should appear in the newspapers, and the results of the battle just now should not be reported."

Li Yuan came to Morgans not to promote himself, but to prevent Morgans from making random reports.

After all, Grimaud Island is in the West Sea, which is the territory of the World Government. If Morgans' report is sent out, everyone in the world will know that Li Yuan has occupied Grimaud Island in the West Sea.

By then, the World Government will be under pressure and will not allow Grimaud Island to continue to exist.

The Infinity Pirates alone cannot stop the World Government's revenge. As long as the World Government sends a top-level combat force to cooperate with the navy, Grimaud Island can be destroyed.

This is what Li Yuan does not want to see, so he does not want Morgans to publicize this report. This will also leave a certain face for the World Government.

He bet that the World Government would not go to war with the Wuji Pirates over such a small matter. It was just an island. What's more, Li Yuan's incident had not become known to everyone. The World Government did not suffer any losses and could even make a lot of profit from it.

In the past, the World Government also purchased a lot of products from the Promise Pirates through the underground world, but purchasing through the underground world would cost more money. If the World Government directly sent people to Grimaud Island to purchase, it would save a lot of money.

"Sir Li Yuan, I understand. I will not report the big news about Grimaud Island."

Morgans said with great regret that this was big news. As a professional paparazzi, he couldn't report the big news. This was simply an insult to his profession as a paparazzi. But what could he do? He had to bear this insult himself.

"Saint Satan, regarding the invasion of the West Sea by the Wuji Pirates."

After telling Bogart to let Garp and his men retreat, Cyborg Sora called the Den Den Mushi of the Five Elder Stars and reported the matter.

The main meaning is that the Navy is unable to expel the Infinity Pirates and needs the support of the World Government.

"Kong, it is the Navy's duty to fight pirates. Don't come to us for help every time you encounter something like this. Otherwise, why do we give your Navy so much military funding every year?"

"The World Government has not yet made up for its losses last time. The World Government will not support you in this matter. It is up to your navy to solve this problem!"

"."

After hearing Cyborg Kong's request, Saint Satan immediately scolded Cyborg Kong. His meaning was that the navy should solve it themselves and they would not intervene.

"Bastard!"

After Ganggukong hung up the phone in frustration, he looked around the office and saw that there was no one there. His suppressed anger immediately erupted, and with a roar that resounded over a thousand meters, he slapped the table in front of him into pieces.

It's such a fucking shame for him to be a navy admiral, with five old guys shitting above him, few capable soldiers below him, and a large group of pirates mocking him outside. He has to stay in the navy headquarters and can't take any action. It's just terrible!

"Someone, tell Garp and the others not to wait and come back immediately!"

After suppressing his anger, Cyborg Kong sent someone to message Garp and the others.

Originally, Cyborg Sora thought that the World Government would send people to support them, and then let Garp and others cooperate with the World Government to expel the Infinite Pirates.

Now that the World Government has given up, he will also let the Wuji Pirates occupy Grimaud Island in the West Sea. I hope the World Government won't regret it by then!
"Captain, the results are out. The current strength of the Infinity Pirates is really beyond our expectations. The three top forces of the Navy are unable to defeat the Infinity Pirates!"

Reinhardt of the Flying Pirates handed the information to Golden Lion and said.

Put yourself in their shoes. If the Flying Pirates were to face the three major forces of the Navy, they could only deal with two at best, and they would most likely not be able to hold off the last one!
"Barrett, Ashura Douji, Kalu, Kano." Golden Lion looked at the information of the cadres of the Promise Pirates and felt very familiar with them. Golden Lion had seen some of the cadres of the Promise Pirates when they were on Rocks' ship.

At that time, Golden Lion didn't take them seriously at all, thinking that they were just a few minions around Li Yuan. He didn't expect that they have grown to this point now.

"Hahahaha, as expected of this guy Li Yuan. After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, the most powerful pirate group was the Roger Pirates. Later, the Feikong Pirates and the Wuji Pirates rose at the same time. Up to now, the Wuji Pirates have undoubtedly surpassed the Roger Pirates. The strength of our Feikong Pirates is not afraid of the Roger Pirates at all."

"In a short time, our Feikong Pirates will also be able to catch up with Roger's Pirates. Now we are just a step behind the Wuji Pirates!"

"Reinhardt, ask Aslan Erasti and Harold William to come over. We want to train you personally so that you can grow up as quickly as possible!"

"As long as you can grow up, it won't be a problem to surpass Roger's Pirates and the Infinity Pirates in the future!"

The golden lion laughed.

Li Yuan has core cadres and capable subordinates, and he, the Golden Lion, also has crew members he values ​​under his command.

Reinhard, the user of the Nature-type Air Stream Fruit; Aslan Erasti, the user of the Paranormal-type Elimination Fruit; Harold William, the user of the Animal-type, Lion-Lion Fruit, Mythical Beast, Griffin Form.

The devil fruits of these three capable subordinates were given to them by Golden Lion from his own treasure house. They are also his most valued subordinates.

"Captain, I'll go get them over right away!"

Reinhardt said excitedly.

In the past, their captain was so arrogant that he would at most give them some verbal instructions but would never personally come out to serve as a sparring partner for them.

Now the Golden Lion is going to teach them personally, which is very rare for Reinhardt and others!

"It seems that the World Government really does not intend to take action"

Li Yuan has been on Grimaud Island for half a month and has not seen anyone from the navy or the World Government come here. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. It seems that his bet was right.

The Infinity Pirates did not openly confront the World Government, and the World Government ignored the actions of the Infinity Pirates and took the opportunity to profit.

"Qingjiao, Kumasi, you will guard here for a while. Someone will come to replace you later."

After confirming that the World Government would not take action against Grimaud Island, Li Yuan did not stay here any longer. Instead, he asked Qingjiao and Kumas to guard here, and then went back with Ashura Boy.

The situation has not stabilized yet, so a cadre must be here to guard it. After it stabilizes after a while, we can replace him.

"Captain, rest assured, we are here to guard. Anyone who dares to mess with my Conehead will never be spared!"

Qingjiao said confidently.

After arranging matters on Grimaud Island, Li Yuan returned home on the Hades.

"My husband, the Shipping King Umit wants to see you."

As soon as Li Yuan returned to the Wuji Sea, Yadina came to him.

"What's wrong with him?"

Li Yuan asked.

Ever since Adina took over all the affairs of the Promise Pirates, it has been Adina who has been in contact with Umit. Now that Umit has come to him, it is not normal.

"He said that he wanted to completely join our Wuji Pirates instead of cooperating with our Wuji Pirates as a partner."

A smile appeared on Yadina's face.

She had begun to weaken her cooperation with Umit a few years ago and had been vigorously developing the Promise Pirates' own caravan.

As the Wuji Pirates continue to grow, the caravans will naturally become larger, and in the New World, no one dares to give face to the Wuji Pirates.

Although Umit's voice is growing stronger because of the Promise Pirates, in fact, if this continues, his business in the New World will be impacted by the Promise Pirates' caravan.

Now that Li Yuan has opened up caravans and trade islands that lead directly from the Calm Belt to the West Sea, Umit’s business in the four seas will also be affected in the future.

Yadina did this to force Umit to join the Infinity Pirates and be tied to them, otherwise she would never trust outsiders.

"Oh? In that case, let him come and see me."

After hearing what Yadina said, and looking at the cunning smile that could not be concealed on her face, Li Yuan probably guessed what was going on.

Over the years, Yadina has experienced a lot of things and met all kinds of people. She is no longer the pure-hearted witch she used to be, but has become the mistress of the huge Wuji Pirate Group, and a strategic, wise, and broad-minded mistress.

Soon, Umit came in front of Li Yuan. Looking at Umit in front of him, Li Yuan felt a little strange, because he had met Umit twice since Umit cooperated with the Promise Pirates, and this meeting was the second time. The first time was when Umit agreed to cooperate with the Promise Pirates.

"Umit, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Li Yuan sat in the main seat, hugged Yadina and asked casually.

"Sir Li Yuan, I have come to join the Wuji Pirates. From now on, all the shipping forces under my command will be assigned to the Wuji Pirates."

Umit said firmly.

As one of the dark kings of the underworld, he is well aware of the importance of having a backer.

Behind every dark king in the underground world there is a huge backer, otherwise they themselves would not be able to support such a huge dark transaction in the underground world.

In the past, he cooperated with the Wuji Pirates just to have Li Yuan as his backer. But now, after realizing that the Wuji Pirates were becoming more distant and had opened up a trading island in the West Sea, he became panicked and afraid.

He was afraid that the Wuji Pirates would kick him out, and he was even more afraid that the Wuji Pirates would take the initiative to swallow up his forces.

Under the premise that he was unable to resist, Umit chose not to resist but to surrender voluntarily, which was better than being annexed.

It's not that he hasn't thought about joining forces with other forces, but no one in the New World would risk offending the Wuji Pirates to accept him, and joining the World Government would be a slow way to death, so he had no choice.
