Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 279 There are too many seven dark world kings!

"King of the Dark World?"

Several images of misshapen melons and cracked dates instantly emerged in Storm's mind - in fact, not all of them were misshapen melons and cracked dates.

Big news, the Queen of Fun Street, the King of Loan Sharks, the King of Shipping, the Old Warehouse Shop, the Big Undertaker... and the Joker who was "expelled" from the Seven Warlords of the Sea some time ago.

These seven people together form the "Seven Kings" of the dark world.

This number of people coincidentally remains consistent with that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

On the sea, the title of the King of the Dark World is not as loud and shocking as that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But in fact, every king of the dark world represents an extremely large organizational force and should not be underestimated.

for example.

The loan shark king, Lou Fielder.

Perhaps people only think that Lou Field is a greedy guy who likes to lend money - although this is also true.

But decades ago, Lou Field generously funded the scientific research projects of the MADS organization.

That's right!

It is the "MADS Organization" that brings together a group of crazy scientists including Vegapunk, Caesar Crown, Quin Sean, Vinsmoke Judge, etc.!
The King of the Dark World and the World's Number One Genius...had a very deep connection at some point in the past.

Storm didn't hang around in the dark world much, and didn't know much about the king of the dark world.

He recalled for a moment and looked up at Tezulo.

"What 'King of the Dark World' are you interested in?"

"Interested? Ah... a little bit."

Tezulo was stunned and spoke hesitantly.

"In fact, Lord Bailong, there is something I have forgotten to report to you...

"After Don Quixote Doflamingo fell, I took the opportunity to seize a lot of his wealth and resources... In addition, several guys led by Lou Field also seized a lot of businesses that originally belonged to the Don Quixote family."

A king of the dark world has fallen.

The other kings of the dark world will not just stand by and watch.

They surrounded them like hyenas smelling blood, and frantically devoured the corpse of the "Don Quixote Family."

This was not unexpected by Storm.

Just listen to Tezulo continue.

"In fact, I am not that interested in the dark world. Business there is too chaotic and difficult. The profitable industries are all occupied by those guys like Lu Fielder. It is difficult to develop new businesses...

"But now that Don Quixote Doflamingo has fallen, his original 'arms business' has become vacant... I'm thinking about taking over Don Quixote Doflamingo's original business.

"Having the title of 'King of the Dark World' will also make it easier to expand the scale of my and our business."

Gurantezolo is very profitable.

But Tezzolo wanted to make more, much more money.

"You can make your own decision on this matter."

Storm looked at Tezulo calmly and reminded him in a light tone.

"But there are two businesses you can't touch - drugs and the slave trade."

Generally speaking, Storm has a mortal enemy with gambling and drugs.

But now that he's a pirate, his moral bottom line has also dropped a lot...

For example, Storm originally extremely hated the idea of ​​gambling.

But Yixiao and Tezoro were both recruited by him.

The former is a gambler.

The latter is the behind-the-scenes boss of the world's largest casino.

It was not easy for Storm to interfere in the hobbies and businesses of these two people.

But this thing called “poison” cannot be touched at all!
Storm's attitude was firm.

As for the slave trade, Storm was also disgusted by it, so he just mentioned it together.

"Yes, Lord Bailong."

Tezulo said respectfully.

In fact, he didn't touch these two businesses.

Not much to say about the drug business.

As for the slave trade...

Tezulo has a shadow in his life.

People from all over the world come to Gran Tesoro to gamble. Those who lose everything in this world's largest entertainment city will be forced by Tesoro to work and repay their debts.

Although this kind of "unpaid work" is not much different from slavery... ahem.

As for the others, they are like some pirates.

If Tezulo defeated and captured them, these people would often be sent to mine by the Golden Emperor...

For example, the future "Silver Pirate Alliance"...

This pirate alliance organization is actually a "mining organization" that needs to regularly provide Tesoro with a portion of silver ore and a large amount of bounty every month.

To be fair.

Tezulo’s “business” is indeed shady.

But in this sea of ​​​​rottenness, the Golden Emperor is not so evil that Storm cannot tolerate it.

Storm thought for a moment, thinking back to Don Quixote Doflamingo, then looked at Tesoro and suddenly asked.

"Tesoro, are you interested in the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'?"

"Your Majesty the Shichibukai?"

Tezulo was a little confused.

"Master Bailong means..."

"The Shichibukai are very 'short of people' right now, and I'm going to quit this organization soon." Storm said casually.

"After I quit, there will only be five of the Seven Warlords of the Sea left: Hawkeye Mihawk, Crocodile Crocodile, Sea Knight Jinbe, Snake Princess Hancock, and Gekko Moriah. That means there are still two vacancies.

"Since you have thoughts about the identity of 'King of the Dark World', perhaps you will also be more interested in the identity of 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'."

Donquixote Doflamingo is both one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" and the "King of the Dark World".

If Tezoro also wanted to do the same, Storm would not restrict him, but would be happy to see it happen.

After listening to Storm's words, Tezoro was thoughtful.

Doflamingo built up a huge family business by relying on his abilities and means, as well as his two identities, the light and the dark.

It would be a good idea for Tesoro to follow Doflamingo's path...

The Golden Emperor was just about to accept Storm's opinion, but at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and cold sweat broke out on his back in an instant.

"Master Bai Long!"

Tezulo put aside his ambitions and hastened to prove his loyalty.

"Since Lord Bailong wants to give up his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I will of course follow closely behind Lord Bailong!"

Why learn from Doflamingo?
Tezoro wanted to slap himself in his heart.

Doflamingo has been "killed" by White Dragon!

Does he also want to be killed by Bailong?

Storm glanced at Tesoro and he could see that the other party was insincere.

"I'm not giving you some boring 'loyalty test'."

Storm said generously.

“I am indeed very dissatisfied with the World Government, but your business still needs to continue, and I will need your ‘money’ to do something in the future.

"If becoming the 'King of the Dark World' and 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' can help you increase your wealth, not only do I not mind, I can even help you.

"Don't you think 'Seven Dark World Kings' is a bit too much?"

Storm has his eyes on "Old Bei" - Vegapunk.

Many research projects of this "world's greatest mind" require astronomical amounts of funds and resources.

All the fortune that Storm had accumulated in the past - including the gold in the golden city of Shandora - was ultimately "dead".

Living off one's savings is not Storm's style.

Now Storm has recruited Tezoro. Regardless of whether he is loyal or not, he is indeed a super genius in running a business.

Use Tezoro's money to support Vegapunk's scientific research, and then expand Storm's own power...

This is a fairly reliable development path.

That's why Storm said this.

The more money Tezulo has, the better.

After hearing what Storm said, many thoughts came to Tezoro's mind.

In the dark world, the businesses of the seven kings - now six - are not clearly divided.

In fact.

You are in me and I am in you, which is the norm in business.

In other words.

Some of the businesses that the kings of the dark world do, Tezulo is also doing, but he has not yet done anything to them...

Now that he has received Bai Long's promise, can he really make his business bigger and stronger and create brilliance?
Tezulo licked his lips lightly and reported respectfully.

"Master Bailong, I just wanted to report to you...

“Seven people were invited to the tea party in Totland of the Ten Thousand Nations—six kings of the dark world and me.

“The International Tea Party has been held for many years. When Lu Field and his friends attend the tea party, they have a habit of meeting each other before the tea party.

“Basically, at every International Tea Party, the kings of the dark world act together.

"Because Donquixote Doflamingo was defeated by you, Lord Hakuryuu, this year, Big Mom transferred Doflamingo's participation qualification to me, and Gran Tezoro is about to arrive in Totland, the World...

"So, the kings of the dark world plan to meet in advance on my Gran Tezoro."

This is indeed a "coincidence".

The sea is so vast.

Under normal circumstances, the kings of the dark world would never meet each other throughout the year.

Only a major event like the Tea Party in Totland of the World can gather all the kings of the dark world.

"That's really a coincidence."

Storm nodded slightly and looked at Tezulo calmly.

"How many 'bosses' do you think are suitable in the dark world?"

Yixiao, who was sitting quietly at the side, stroked his supreme sword [Black Fire Line] somewhat uncomfortably.

He had indeed never participated in an "evil meeting" of this level before...

Tezoro did not notice Yixiao's small action beside him. He thought for a moment and did not directly answer Storm's question. Instead, he blurted out several names one after another.

"The loan shark king, Lou Fielder, has a business that overlaps and conflicts with mine.

“Shipping King Umit, he controls the ocean transportation industry of the Grand Route; Warehouse Industry Laopu, he controls the commodity storage industry of the Grand Route;
"Cash, logistics and warehousing, these three aspects of business are crucial to the development of a force."

"okay, I get it."

Storm nodded.

"The Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World... How pleasant this sounds!"
