I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

In the early stages, everything required money, and he had to buy it from outside step by step. Various equipment, land renovation, and cultivation all required money.

Captain John felt that following White Night made him feel like he wasn't a pirate anymore, but a finance minister of a country. His daily concerns weren't about finding treasure, but about how to boost the GDP so that more people could have money and afford to eat.

However, he quite likes this kind of life. He likes treasure, but he doesn't necessarily have to rob it. Now that life in Wano Country is getting better and better, they will have a steady stream of money once they can export various products.

Not to mention, there's a lot of Seastone in Wano Country, which will be a fortune in the future!

This made Captain John feel that using Wano Country as a base was a very wise choice.

"It's not like he'd back out now. That guy doesn't want to leave the pirate crew; he wants to take my captaincy. If he runs away, does he think he can just throw away the captaincy?"

Byakuya was not worried at all about Kaido running away.

This guy has his own pride. He will never run away before he defeats me. Moreover, he is still on the rise. If his strength increases, he will definitely come after me.

It's highly likely that he really did go to form his own Beast Squad.

Bai Ye was also a little curious. If he really formed the Beasts Pirates into a division later on, then his pirate crew would seem to be quite strong, but their high-end combat power would still be lacking.

At least for now, although Ginny ate the Hurricane Fruit, she is not good at fighting. John's fighting strength is only at the level of a mid-tier Shichibukai. Kuma is very strong in the later stages, but that is not enough. If they want to replicate and surpass the Rocks Pirates, they need more powerful fighting forces.

"You really aren't worried at all? Kaido is a demon and he ate the Blue Dragon Fruit."

Old John muttered something to himself; he couldn't understand what Bai Ye was thinking when he offered Kaido such a condition.

"The constitution of the demon race."

It doesn't seem so scary, after all, I seem to have it too, and not only do I have the constitution of the Oni race, I also have the constitution of Blackbeard and Big Mom. So it seems that even if I don't eat another Mythical Zoan fruit.

Even with just Haki, he could easily suppress Kaido. Kaido's physical advantage lies in his regeneration, and his strongest defense is Big Mom's steel balloon!

This is not something Bai Ye needs to consider right now; he has a very serious problem to deal with.

"Old John, it seems like Wano Country is running out of money lately, isn't it?"

Wano Country is still suffering losses, although it has killed many nobles and confiscated all their belongings.

But money is what Wano Country needs most right now.

The main problem is that there was no industrial base here before. First, the nobles exploited the common people, and then the common people couldn't even afford to eat. They survived by farming.

It's no wonder that after Kozuki Oden taught some farming and construction techniques, he immediately became deeply loved by the residents.

It can be said that Wano Country was extremely oppressed in the past.

Because of its long-term isolation, this place is very backward, and the nobility monopolizes everything.

They either get exploited or they join evil parties.

Byakuya also dealt with the disobedient nobles and villains, and now Wano Country is in dire need of reconstruction.

"You're looking at me strangely!"

Captain John looked into Bai Ye's eyes and his heart skipped a beat. He had a feeling that something was wrong with Bai Ye.

Don't you dare look at me like that!

Every time they look at me like that, it's with ill intentions.

"Old John, I have a risky... I mean, an angel investment plan here. Would you like to listen to it?"

The Golden Country has a lot of gold, but Byakuya has been busy transforming Wano Country recently.

He didn't intend to make Wano Country a mess like Kaido did; instead, he planned to seriously renovate it, so many facilities were built with real money invested.

Therefore, the money is being spent very quickly. Even with the gold from the Golden Township, it is estimated that if this kind of transformation continues, it will most likely not be able to sustain itself.

In addition, there are armed helicopters and various weapons that will be delivered soon.

I will be producing these myself by opening a production line later.

So all of this requires spending money.

So, where can he get money if he has none?

Isn't there someone right in front of us?

"I have no money, but I won't give you my life!"

Old John knew something was wrong from the way Bai Ye looked at him, especially with those undisguised words. He immediately turned and ran!

What a joke!

When Byakuya first joined the pirate crew, what promises did he make to himself?

He promised that he would not only not touch his own treasures, but that all future treasures he acquired would be handed over to him for management.

It was because of this that John admitted he was tempted. Plus, he and Bai Ye were good brothers, and he wanted to bring his talent from the Rocks Pirates to Bai Ye.

But this is completely different from what Bai Ye said before. Now, not only have I not seen any money, but I've also been completely fooled by Bai Ye. It seems that he's already eyeing my treasure.

"Old John, we've already invested so much gold in our Golden Country. Later, our weapons factories can sell weapons, and we can also sell sea stone at high prices. Similarly, the light industrial products and luxury goods we produce later can be harvested from all over the world."

"We're just short on cash right now. If you invest a little, won't tons of money be pouring into Wano Country later?"

Bai Ye grabbed John's shoulder to stop him from running away, then spoke with a hint of seduction in his voice.

We're just one crucial step away now, we can't just give up completely, can we?

Besides, I'm not just making empty promises to John; if I actually do many of these things, they could really make money.

Listening to Bai Ye's words, John swallowed hard. He knew very well just how much potential Bai Ye had made.

At least it has made Wano Country, which was originally impoverished, prosperous internally.

Moreover, these products even have concepts, and Captain John wanted to open up White Night's mind to see why he had so many ingenious ideas.

Making money is indeed only a matter of time.

"John, didn't you say you wanted to swim in a treasure trove? Once you have all this stuff, building a golden swimming pool and a golden playground will be a piece of cake, won't it?"

As Bai Ye continued speaking, Captain John admitted that he was indeed somewhat tempted.

What was his purpose in collecting treasure?

Isn't it the kind of joy that comes from collecting things, and then the joy of creating a treasure museum?

If you have money, you don't need to rob treasures; you can just buy them directly.

Old John is a civilized man. If he can buy it, he won't rob it. Of course, if he doesn't have the money, he'll rob it!

"Bai Ye, you are my dearest friend and family, how much do you want?"

Captain John's throat tightened, and he finally decided to make a bet.

After all, keeping this treasure won't generate more money; investing is the only way to make more money, something Bai Ye taught me.

Money isn't something you can save up!

Bai Ye chuckled inwardly. It seemed that the ideological work on Captain John had been quite effective recently.

His continued presence in Wano Country was essentially aimed at changing their mindset.

John is alright; it's easy for him to change his personality. But the other three are different.

The other three Ivankovs were relatively easy to reform. Big Bear was a saint, and Ginny was not much different. Fortunately, I did a good job of ideological work, so they have now accepted my ideas.

Tianyue was even easier to fool; this young woman was completely fooled the first time she met him.

"Old John, we're brothers, aren't we?"

"Of course!"

Old John put his arm around Bai Ye's shoulder, a hint of sincerity flashing across his face.

brothers!

They must be brothers!

We climbed the Sky Island together!

Although it was Bai Ye who was climbing, he was just watching.

"Then Old John, why don't you just give me all your treasure?"

Old John had brought all the treasure over before.

Bai Ye was wondering why Bucky would remember Captain John's treasure so well.

Now he understood, this was comparable to the Land of Gold. Just how much treasure had Captain John amassed?

Could the One Piece that Roger mentioned be yours?

"Fuck me!!!"

Captain John stared at Bai Ye with wide eyes and disbelief. He had thought that Bai Ye would at most ask for a quarter of his share, and that he would haggle with Bai Ye and then pay a fifth to settle the matter. But what he didn't expect was that Bai Ye was going to cut off his own flesh!

My brother and I are of one mind, but my brother is playing mind games with me?

“John, have a broader perspective! We need to have a broader perspective! I told you before that money isn't something you can save up for. I'm not taking this money from you for nothing. I'll definitely share the profits with you when I make money in the future!”

As Bai Ye spoke, her eyes unconsciously observed the other person, trying to see what John was really thinking.

John was somewhat tempted, but he was truly reluctant to give up all his treasure.

But then I felt that Bai Ye was right; money isn't something you can save up.

"Bai Ye, tell me the truth, are you going to run away with my treasure?"

Old John took a deep breath. Although he had asked a very stupid question, he just wanted Bai Ye to give him an answer.

After all, a conman who wants to deceive himself would never admit that he is deceiving himself. He is seeking comfort, which also means that Old John is willing to believe in White Night. After all, this is his life savings!

"Am I crazy? If I don't want this place, where am I going to run off to?"

"Fine, you can take my treasure, but you have to make money for me afterwards. If you don't, I'll have ten or eight ugly women kill you!!"

Captain John gritted his teeth, deciding to treat it as if he were investing all his own money.

But after that, Bai Ye has to make money for himself. If he uses his investor's money to play around, he will definitely not let Bai Ye off the hook!

"Old John, don't you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you! We're best friends, after all!"

Captain John made up his mind: if Bai Ye really dared to do that, he would definitely drug Bai Ye and send him to Charlotte Linlin!

"By the way, I'm leaving the Wano Country affairs to you, Old John. I'm planning to leave for a while."
