I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 33 Monger's Ambition!
March 1461 in the Haiyuan calendar.

New world.

It has been more than a month since we left Elbaf. During this period, except for a stop at an unknown island, most of the time was spent at sea.

the reason.

“We’re out of money!”

Sitting on the fishing platform of the Black Pearl, Munger's face was extremely heavy.

In Elbaf, you can eat and use the food of giants. If you are really hungry, you can go hunting in the forest. There is never a shortage of prey in the jungle of Elbaf as long as you have the ability to hunt them.

But once we went out to sea, problems arose.

Both Monger and Lipri are users of devil fruits, so it is impossible for them to go into the water to catch fish. If they rely solely on fishing, not to mention going hungry for nine meals in three days, at least they can't fill their stomachs by eating fish. That's impossible.

Originally, Monger still had several million Baileys, but he gave all that money to Carmelo as a deposit for Lingling to get on board.

As for the head of the Blood Skull Farrell that was harvested half a year ago, although Monger asked two giant pirate hunters to collect the bounty, he went out to sea again before they returned.

"Could our pirate group actually be short of money?"

Lipri's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard what Monger said.

In her opinion, even though the White Wolf Pirates have enough money to buy out several countries, they will never be short of money, right?
Blood Skull Farrell thought so too.

"We did have some savings before the fleet disbanded, but after dividing the money, my share was only enough for an old man to live out his old age."

Monger looked helpless.

"So, we have to find a way to make money now."

"That's not easy!"

After hearing what Monger said, Rocks' eyes lit up and an evil smile appeared on his face.

"Just grab two random merchant ships. It hurts!"

Rocks covered his head and glared at Monger: "Why did you hit me?"

"Because it's embarrassing!"

Munger looked at Rocks and sneered, "Our fleet doesn't have the habit of bullying the weak."

"Then what should we do?" Rocks spread his hands: "If we don't rob merchant ships, should we rob pirates?"

"This is also a way."

Monger did not deny that it was natural for pirates to rob each other, even if the pirate group did not have anything valuable.

Where is the other captain’s head?

For a pirate group that can be active in the New World, even the captain with the lowest bounty will have a bounty of more than 10 million berries.

"However, this is only a temporary solution."

Monger put down the fishing rod in his hand, opened his arms and embraced the sea.

"Pirates want to get rich, so of course they have to seize territory!"

In the New World, whether a pirate is famous or not depends on how many pirates he can deter and how many countries he can protect.

Only by owning a "territory" of their own can this pirate group truly gain a foothold in the New World.

"In the past, the White Wolf Pirates only needed to operate one fleet, so there was no need to grow and expand. But now it's different."

In Monger's eyes, there was a light called "ambition".

"My steps will never stop at a remote corner. If time has not stopped me, then neither will this sea!"

"I will dominate this ocean!"

In front of Rocks and Lipri, Monger did not hide his ambition.

In the past, he had dreamed of changing the world, but he failed. His lack of strength made him stagnate.

It's different now.

With the combat power of an admiral, Monger truly possesses the ability to confront the navy's encirclement head-on and has the capital to negotiate with the World Government.

Of course, this level of strength couldn't truly stand on equal footing with the World Government and the Navy, but it also meant that Monger had taken a solid step on his own path.

Raftel?

Who cares about that kind of stuff?
In this future era when the Pirate King Roger has not yet set sail, the so-called Final Island is just a symbol with more symbolic meaning than practical significance.

At first, Monger thought that he wanted to pursue a path like the Pirate King Roger.

But now it seems.

What he wants to do is actually no different from what Rocks wants to do in the future!

"Sorry, Rocks."

He used to think that Rocks was a loser in the competition with Roger for the title of Pirate King. This was wrong. The two were not on the same track from the beginning to the end, so how could they talk about victory and failure?
If we talk about defeat, Future Rocks lost to the World Government and his own arrogance, not to Roger.

And now, he wants to take a path similar to Rocks.

“Maybe in the future, we will become enemies!”

Mung had no intention of deceiving Rocks. If he didn't even have the magnanimity to accommodate his subordinates' ambitions, then he wasn't worthy of being the overlord of the sea.

Rocks smiled when he heard what Monger said.

"Hahaha, stinky old man, if that day really comes, I will definitely spare your life and let you spend your old age in peace."

But Rocks just kept laughing until tears were almost coming out.

Who would cultivate their own enemies?

But Rocks could tell that Monger was not joking.

If he still wants to become the overlord of the sea, he will definitely have conflicts with Mung in the future, and eventually the two of them will become enemies.

He also heard that Monger did not suppress his idea.

Monger is looking forward to it.

I hope he becomes stronger and challenges himself.

"When the time comes, I won't be soft-hearted!"

"Haha, if you lose, then you'll just be my intern for the rest of your life!"

Monger and Rocks picked up the wine glasses placed aside and clinked them lightly.

Then a resentful voice was heard.

"Hey, have you forgotten me?"

Lipuri looked at the father and son who had completely forgotten about fishing and said with dissatisfaction: "When it comes to ambition, my ambition is not inferior to yours!"

"Oh?"

Hearing what Lipri said, Monger immediately became interested, and even Rocks couldn't help but prick up his ears.

“Hehe, that’s it.”

Woo——————

The sudden sound of the whistle drowned out Lipri's voice. Not only did Lipri pout, but even Monger and Rocks couldn't help but frown.

Because what appeared before them was a huge ship whose hull was mostly armored. Not only Rocks and Lipri, but even Monger rarely saw such a ship on the sea.

In the pirate world where sailing ships are still the mainstream, steamships are basically only available in a few technologically advanced countries.

Even the navy's warships were not fully equipped with steam boilers unique to steamships.

But all three could see the flag flying on the ship.

The symbol on the flag is in the shape of a cross, with circles at the four vertices and the midpoint, and a line of words written below the cross.

【WORLD GOVT.】

This is the flag that represents the World Government and is the symbol of the World Government!
