One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 978 Relationships and Interests

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect to meet such a fat fish not long after arriving in the New World. You can't even fight back and can only run away? Pathetic guy, let me show you how powerful our Cannon Pirates are! Full bullets fired! Let you little wreck know how powerful I am! Hahahaha!"

A one-eyed, bearded pirate who looked like a pirate was standing on the bow with a long knife in his hand and shouting, while a group of sailors in sailor uniforms and red headbands were carrying cannonballs.

"Captain, we have just entered the New World. Isn't it a bad idea to do this before we know whose territory this is? After all, the New World is the territory of the Four Emperors."

A man who looked like the first mate ran over and said.

"What the hell are the Four Emperors! Can they be more powerful than my artillery? Even if the Four Emperors come, I will let them taste my artillery! Then I will be a Four Emperor too! Hahahaha——"

"Boom!"

The sound of a cannonball cutting through the air was heard, and before the Cannon Pirates could react, the Infinite Cannon, the entire Cannon Pirates' ship, exploded with an explosion like thunder, and everyone on board disappeared in the sea of ​​fire.

"The target has been observed and has been eliminated."

Enel said to Quinn.

"Ha, the new artillery is indeed very useful. It couldn't have been so accurate in the past, unless I operated it myself."

After getting confirmation from Enel, Quinn said with a smile that this was a true beyond-visual-range battle. Unlike the previous battles where they could see the enemy through special instruments, this time they really couldn't see anything at all. They could only lock the enemy's position through radar, and on the radar, this thing was just a few dots up and down. What's more, this ship was not the Azure Dragon or the Suzaku, but Quinn's own test ship. Although Quinn gave it a showy name, the Forged Ark, it was essentially a relatively ordinary ironclad ship.

"So why should we save them? We have nothing to do with those people, right?"

After doing all this, Enel asked curiously as he looked at Quinn, who was dancing and singing for the success of the artillery and even started singing and dancing on the spot.

"Why? Why why?"

As a result, Enel's question confused Quinn, and he asked back with a strange look on his face.

"I mean, even if they are really fighting, what does it have to do with us? And do you know who is fighting?"

Enel asked again.

"That's two questions, kid. I'll answer the second one first. First of all, the ship that was attacked was a passenger ship. I have the identification code of that ship here, so I can be sure that even now, as long as our ships have any relationship with the Four Emperors, we will put an identification code on them. Since the other party attacked a ship with an identification code, it is equivalent to declaring war on us. What's more, this is our territory. If someone opens fire here, it means they are not giving us face."

Quinn looked at Enel who hadn't come to his senses yet and said, he knew that this kid lacked love, but he didn't expect that he still didn't understand after such a long time. However, he wasn't the type who liked to use words like love. As per his habit, he preferred to speak in a way that Enel could understand. "And the other problem is that saving them is also giving ourselves a good reputation. Although we are pirates, we are not the kind of bandits who flee everywhere. We are the Four Emperors Pirate Group, a major force in this world. We have our own territory, our own business, and our own ideals, which are different from those guys who only know how to plunder. This is also the reason why I want to save that ship. If we save them, they will naturally spend money on our territory, and those who can come to the New World will at least have some influence. In this way, if we save them, they will also know that they are safe to a certain extent in the New World. In this case, if it were you, what would you choose?"

Quinn said while looking at Enel.

"If it were me, I would probably tell others what happened here after returning, and then businessmen and the like would hear about it. They are doing business, so they definitely want a safe environment, and they would be happy to pay more. This is the same no matter where you are."

Enel followed Quinn's thoughts and said, and this statement made Enel agree more. Compared with love and affection, interests were more acceptable to him.

"Remember, kid, we are pirates. Although we are different from ordinary pirates, we are still pirates. We will use our sincerity to exchange sincerity, but we will not sacrifice our own interests. After all, we have to grasp both relationships and interests, and both hands must be strong. No matter how good the relationship is, if there is no interest, it will disappear after a long time. This is why Sister Lily has implemented a minimum salary for the entire pirate group. Even if they are old and can't work, or are disabled, they can still live healthily. Interests determine the lower limit, and the true feelings they pay determine the upper limit. Do you understand, kid?"

Quinn patted Enel's shoulder. This boy was also a genius. Quinn had always been tolerant of geniuses. After all, he himself was also a genius. This was why Quinn was willing to tell him.

"Benefits and relationships?"

After hearing what Quinn said, Enel began to think alone. Quinn did not disturb him. After all, there are some things that you still need to think about by yourself. Figuring it out yourself is more useful than any words from others.

While Enel was thinking, cheers rang out from the other side of the passenger ship. Although they didn't know how the pirate ship exploded, it was because they couldn't understand it that the Beasts Pirates seemed so powerful, right? The means that were difficult to understand were the most powerful.

"Beyond visual range strike? What a powerful method."

Just because other people couldn't understand it didn't mean Eve didn't understand it. The shrill sound showed that the other party was not using traditional round shells, but pointed shells. Her modified eyes were unable to observe the other party's movements at sea, which meant that the other party's reconnaissance methods had surpassed hers.

"Perhaps the old man is right. The real solution to the problem lies here."

Eve said in a low voice, then turned around and went back to the room. She was still not used to the presence of so many people, but if she could see the boat of the Beasts soon, should she sneak over there directly? It felt more convenient to go there directly, but it seemed that it was easy to get into trouble, so she was a little entangled.

As Eve thought about this, she gradually felt her head getting heavy, and she fell asleep without noticing. Perhaps it was because she was getting closer to her goal. After not sleeping for many days and not being able to use York to help her sleep and eat, Eve finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she had arrived in Dressrosa. Eve carefully walked into an empty alley. When she came out again, the little loli with a carrot head had turned into a young and beautiful girl, and even her clothes had changed into a different style.

"Okay, let me find where the Beast Office is, Mr. Quinn. The beautiful boy is coming to see you!"

After becoming a young girl, Eve no longer had the restraint and social phobia of her previous little loli form. Instead, she became like a social cow and walked in one direction.
