One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

A bloody hole appeared between Kabuto's eyebrows, and blood spurted out.

"Drag him down."

"Yes!"

Kabuto's body was dragged away by the marines, and Finbudi thoughtfully took out a rag to wipe the bloodstains splattered on the table.

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Loya twirled the pistol, put it back in the holster on his waist, and looked at the stunned leaders with a cold gaze.

“You bunch of scum, all of you should be dragged out and shot. None of you are innocent. I’m giving you a chance only because I don’t have the time or energy to clean up the mess.”

"I called you here today to tell you the rules I set, not to ask for your opinions."

"understand?"

Everyone was silent.

This black-haired major is even more terrifying than they imagined!

I only have three requirements for you!

Loya held up three fingers.

"Legitimate! Legitimate! And absolutely legitimate!"

"The specific requirements have already been explained to you."

"I will regularly send my subordinates to patrol. From now on, if anyone's business dares to be irregular or to engage in underhanded activities, I will kill them!"

"Of course, you can also unite against me and see if my blade is sharper or your necks are harder."

Many gray industry chains are actually legal, such as gambling, which even a future naval admiral was addicted to, and massage parlors, etc.

However, these legitimate businesses can easily lead to illegitimate ways of making money, which in turn breed some unseen evils.

He doesn't yet have the power to defy the law; he can only impose restrictions to keep these industries under control.

"I've finished speaking."

Loya calmly surveyed the crowd.

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

"."

The leaders remained silent; even if they had opinions, they dared not speak them—Kabuda's death was their fate.

"I object!"

The arrogant man with slicked-back hair and a nose ring stood up.

Bartolomeo!

"Hehehehe!"

Barto stood up with a cold smile, picked up the rule document that had been given to him. As a gang, Loya only had one rule.

Disband!

Barto certainly couldn't accept it. With so many underlings under his command, were they supposed to starve after the disbandment?

"Black-haired Navy, I don't care what great things you've done. Our Barto Club has always kept to itself and the Navy. If you dare to mess with us, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

"Bartolomeo."

Loya stared at Barto.

You brat, how dare you disrespect him in front of so many people? You're asking for trouble, aren't you? I'll make you pay!

“I visited Granny Nuomi yesterday.”

"What? Mother-in-law!"

Barto, who had been calm and collected, suddenly sensed something was wrong. He gripped his teeth with his little hands, looking terrified.

"Tashigi, give him the Den Den Mushi."

Loya gave an order and said coldly to Bato, "Grandma Nuomi is very disappointed with what you are doing now. She hopes you can repent and become good people."

"I promised Grandma Nuomi that I would take good care of you. If you don't believe me, call Grandma to confirm."

The Den Den Mushi was handed to Barto.

"Ah, this...this..."

Barto took the Den Den Mushi and hurriedly dialed Granny Nuomi's number. As soon as the Den Den Mushi answered, he immediately asked if the situation was true.

After a long while, the mother-in-law's slow, leisurely voice came over.

"Ah, it seems that's true."

"I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be."

"Then you should listen to that black-haired navy officer from now on."

"Kachcha—"

The Den Den Mushi hung up.

Barto pointed at Loya with grief and indignation. They had to obey their mother-in-law's words; that's how they'd always lived since they were little.

"Navy, you're despicable!"

"hehe."

Luo Ya chuckled: "Bring your underlings to the branch tomorrow. Not a single one can be missing, understand?"

"Huh? Why should I listen to you!"

"Your mother-in-law will be sad to see you acting so rebelliously."

"shut up!"

Barto exploded on the spot.

"Damn it!"

Chapter 74 Loya and Smoker

The next morning, at the branch office entrance.

The entire Barto Club assembled, forming a massive force that resembled an attack on the branch.

The thugs were still somewhat bewildered. Gambia, the second-in-command, asked in confusion, "Boss, are we really going to join the navy?"

“That’s right, it was my mother-in-law who demanded that we join that treacherous black-haired navy.” Bartolomeo looked reluctant.

The thugs finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it was my mother-in-law's request!"

"That's no problem."

"Speaking of which, we even took that navy officer to see his mother before."

"It seems she gets along very well with her mother-in-law."

"I must thank you when we meet later."

The thugs were all smiles, and not one of them raised any questions. As long as it was the old woman who said it, there must be no problem.

"Come on, let's go in!"

Four or five hundred people strode arrogantly into the branch, looking around curiously, and couldn't help but kick even a stone they saw.

Tashigi was in charge of the reception.

Seeing the thugs who looked like complete scoundrels, Tashigi sighed helplessly. If the branch hadn't been so short-staffed, she would never have recruited this group of street thugs.

"follow me!"

"Hey, where's your boss?"

Barto, hands in his pockets, arrogantly bent over, standing at a ninety-degree angle in front of Tashigi.

Tashigi calmly said, "Colonel Loya is busy with very important matters. He will meet with you when he is done. I will show you around the branch first."

"Tch, he's lucky."

Barto curled his lip in disdain.

If Hei Fa appeared in front of him, he would definitely teach that guy a lesson. How dare he use his mother to threaten him!

Meanwhile, in the base commander's office.

"I am Colonel Smoker from headquarters!"

Smoker, with two cigars dangling from his lips, stared fiercely at Loya, as if Loya owed him 500 million Berries.

"Welcome, Colonel Smoker!"

Loya's smile blossomed.

He thought he would have to wait a few more days, but he didn't expect Smoker to arrive in Loguetown so quickly. His subordinates said that he came alone in a super cool amphibious motorcycle.
