Angel investor in the One Piece world

"A pirate alliance?"

Zango and his crew, who had hastily approached, happened to overhear this and were immediately startled. "Boss Damian, are you going to become a pirate?"

I don't understand, what's so good about One Piece?

Having never seen, and even being unable to imagine, what a true top-tier pirate looks like, Zango couldn't understand why Damian would give up a leisurely, stable, and wealthy life to make a living on the high seas.

Damian completely ignored him, waved his hand, and Barto, understanding, released Crow and stood aside.

Almost simultaneously, Kro launched himself up, using his hands to brace himself against the ground, and once again used the Silent Step to advance.

But the next instant, his stiff body appeared before everyone's eyes.

I can't move!

Kro's sharp cat claws were only centimeters away from Damian's neck.

But those few centimeters felt like an insurmountable chasm at that moment.

"That's why I told you not to act impulsively, Captain!"

Zango complained like a mother hen, "Boss Damian is an incredibly powerful ability user!"

That's absolutely terrifying!

Captain Crowe was easily subdued!

"Cloth".

Damian's fingers twitched slightly, and Kuro mechanically retracted his cat paw, standing in front of him in an odd posture. "You will become the leader of the Pirate Alliance."

Kuro's strength is not weak even in the East Blue. More importantly, he is a rare breed among pirates who only have muscles and not brains.

Damian is at ease letting him lead the pirates.

"Next, we'll recruit more pirates and make this pirate alliance the largest force in the East Blue."

Pirates are like flies; they'll instinctively swarm around the biggest and smelliest pile.

The pirate alliance formed by the remnants of the Krieg Pirates and the Black Cat Pirates is undoubtedly the most outstanding force in the East Blue now that the Arlong Pirates have been wiped out.

"You bastard, do you treat this agreement like it's nothing?"

Damian allowed Kuro to speak, so the man could vent his anger: "I don't want to be a pirate anymore!"

The blue light above his head had condensed into seeds.

"Don't rush,"

Damian simply said calmly, "Don't you think retirement life is a bit too boring? You don't need to personally lead them into battle. In fact, I don't want this alliance to be widely known. You just need to be a wealthy man in peace and use your smart brain to help me control them."

Kro's anger vanished instantly, and a glint of insight flashed in his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. "Interesting!"

This guy is really good at changing his expression.

Damian remembered that when he captured him two years ago, the guy also looked like he would rather die than submit, but after he offered to pay for his signature move, he immediately turned into a businessman.

"Of course it's interesting; wealth is just a byproduct."

Damian said, "Never forget, Chloe, strength is the foundation upon which one stands!"

Money is the least valuable thing, because this world is full of powerful monsters who disregard the rules.

Captain Crowe was taken aback.

He did indeed possess a great deal of wealth, but in the face of Damian's power, he was truly at Damian's mercy.

Thinking about it that way, that bastard's plan is actually pretty good!

Who knows, he might regret handing this organization over to me later!

"Then it's decided."

Damian cut the puppet strings.

Chloe quietly pushed up her glasses.

"Klo, Akin, Zango,"

Damian called out three names, "They're yours now."

"Don't worry, Boss Damian!"

Zango felt his heart pounding.

As expected of Boss Damian, this trip is indeed another good thing!

The Black Cat Pirates only had a little over a hundred members, but after merging with the Krieg Pirates, their numbers suddenly swelled to dozens of times their original size.

Didn't his status as a high-ranking official rise along with it?

"Leave it to me, Chief Damian!"

Akin is also pledging his loyalty.

After voluntarily undergoing hypnosis, his loyalty was beyond question.

Kro simply snorted, "I'll just have to help you command this bunch of idiots for now."

"very good."

Damian nodded in satisfaction. "To help you work better, I'll teach you a few moves."

Although both Kuro and Akin are considered strong in the East Blue, they are still just mortals and could easily be defeated at any time.

Therefore, the Six Styles are necessary.

……

The idea of ​​a pirate alliance was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

In the twenty years since his rebirth in this world, Damian has made many plans.

Recruiting a group of pirates from the East Blue to form a pirate alliance is just one example.

Other options include joining the Navy and working relentlessly through the 996 work schedule to rise to a high-ranking position, or gathering a large number of bounty hunters to form a bounty hunter guild and become a third-party force in the world, or joining the Revolutionary Army and becoming a revolutionary army mentor by using ideas brought from another world.

However, he rejected all of these plans one by one.

Damian couldn't stand having a bunch of people standing above him, especially with something as disgusting as the World Government.

Not to mention bounty hunters. Having lived in this world for twenty years, he had never heard of any famous bounty hunters. Hawkeye was indeed a hunter before he became a Shichibukai, but he was a Marine hunter.

This group is simply a backdrop on the vast ocean.

Damian felt that his style of doing things was quite different from theirs, and it would probably be difficult for them to share the same ideals.

So his final decision was still to become a pirate.

First, accumulate strength in the East China Sea, then enter the Grand Line to learn how to dominate.

Damian was quite confident in his talent. He believed that as long as he mastered Haki, he would at least have strength close to that of a Shichibukai.

Then you can start planning for the Bat Fruit Mythical Zoan Vampire Form from Sleeping Town or the Azure Dragon Fruit replica from Punk Hazard.

If you take either of these two fruits and add Conqueror's Haki to them, your power level is already comparable to that of the top fighters on the high seas.

By then, the foundation for vying for the throne will already be laid.

Whether or not we can win against Wang Luffy, we'll talk about that later. Anyway, that's the plan.

However, this plan was abandoned after the system finally finished loading.

With the system in place, Damian's first consideration was naturally to invest in more people.

This requires expanding the Dream Foundation.

This, in turn, requires a large amount of capital.

Therefore, the family business must also develop in tandem.

So how do you do business to maximize profits?

Of course, that means planting your own people in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, seizing privileges while eliminating all competitors.

Damian had never had a business plan in the previous twenty years, so he was really not good at engaging in serious business competition with his rivals.

He can only use the methods he is good at.

The number of friends in the Navy will continue to increase, and the size of the pirate alliance will continue to expand. After that, business will be much easier.

The Grand Line is too chaotic, and the other three seas are too far away. For now, let's set a goal of dominating the East China Sea.

……

In the following days, Damian taught Chloe and Akin a few moves in the same way—not that he didn't want to teach others, but their physical abilities were simply not up to par, and they had no opportunity to learn.

Akin was naturally extremely grateful to Damian.

But Chloe sneered, "How arrogant, Damian. You teach us these kinds of moves? Aren't you afraid that one day we'll surpass you?"

His words really startled Damian.

He stared intently at Chloe, then a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, followed by a trembling shoulder. Finally...

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Damian loves to laugh and is almost always smiling when he's with others, but he rarely laughs heartily, and only when he's with someone as close as Guinabato.

But now, he really can't help himself.

He just smiled.

Barto laughed along with him.

"Damian!!"

Kro gritted his teeth.

Damian said nothing, yet he said everything.

"Anyway, it's up to you now."

Damian's smile faded.

Incidentally, like Chloe, Akin is also a blue-chip investment target.

A Jin's dream is simple: to follow behind a powerful man, whether it's real or not, as long as the system approves. What human rights does a blue target have in the system?

The rebate he gave Damian was a set of martial arts techniques called "Demon Fighting Techniques," but it required the use of crutches, which Damian couldn't use at all.

However, Crow, who only wanted to retire, gave Damian a surprise. He actually gave him the Tempest Kick. Was it because Damian already knew how to use it?

However, the six techniques have been completed, and we can try to grasp the profound meaning of life return.

After the lesson, Damian did not hesitate to start the Sky Sword and leave. Now that he was out, he thought, "Next, let's go to Windmill Village."

The edge of a ruined island.

A group of pirates looked up as the white cloud drifted away.

The shock in Akin's heart was beyond words.

So, were the storms and thunderstorms earlier the work of that ship?

Damian's journey to Windmill Village was temporarily halted because he encountered a ship on the way.

"Oh! It's Barati! It's been so long since I've been back!"

Barto shouted excitedly, "Big brother! I want to go see Sanji and the others!"
