Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Raleigh walked down the main street of the Kingdom of Eryokobu, intending to pretend to patrol the territory of the Kingdom of Eryokobu today.

This was to give confidence to the officials of the World Government and the nobles of the Kingdom of Eryoko.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The world destroyer Bondiwad has appeared in the North Sea."

The voice of a newsboy caught Rowley's attention.

"Hey kid, bring me a newspaper."

After paying, Raleigh picked up the newspaper and sat down on a bench by the roadside to read it.

Bondiwald, the World Destroyer, is a complete madman; there's nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

Furthermore, he also possesses a very powerful Devil Fruit, the Momo-Momo Fruit, which Rory has coveted for a long time and once considered becoming its master.

What is Bondivaldo doing in the North Sea?

The newspapers didn't provide any further information, only speculating that Bondivaldo was looking for someone who could build him a giant ship.

Raleigh stroked his chin. This guy seems to have some use!

He must have returned from the New World; Bondiwad's ability is to amplify objects he has come into contact with or his own state.

Whether it's bullets, cannonballs, or even one's own speed or domineering aura, everything can be amplified according to Wald's own will.

A bullet fired from a pistol, with its speed and size increased a hundredfold, could destroy a warship in a single shot.

The ship's cannons were increased in speed and size by a hundred times, and their power was so great that they could destroy a small island with a single shot.

However, my impression of this guy is that he's a troublemaker.

He fought with the Roger Pirates a few times, with Shiki the Golden Lion a few times, and with Whitebeard a few times.

Although we don't know the outcome of this guy's battles with those monsters, just the fact that he's still alive and kicking and causing trouble after so many encounters shows how monstrous he is.

Raleigh thought for a moment, then took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed the number.

Brubrubru, brubrubru.

A tall figure on the Grand Line had just punched the pirate in front of him to pieces.

The churning lava evaporated the blood from his body.

One hand was inside his suit jacket, while the other was still fighting the remaining pirates.

"Moshi, Moshi, Raleigh, what can I do for you?"

This person is none other than Vice Admiral Sakazuki, who left the North Blue to take up a post on the Grand Line.

He was currently dealing with a small group of pirates when he received a call from Raleigh, which surprised him.

"Moshi Moshi, Brother Sakazuki, I have something I want to ask you."

"What's wrong?"

"Hound of the Underworld!"

Sakazuki swiftly turned the pirate who tried to ambush him into ashes.

Are you fighting pirates? Then I'll attack you later.

Sakazuki glanced at the remaining dozen or so pirates before him and smiled contemptuously:

"It's nothing, just a bunch of small fry. We don't need to use both hands to deal with them."

After hearing Sakazuki's confident answer, Raleigh also spoke up directly.

A big fish has recently arrived in the North Sea: the World Destroyer, Bondiwald. I don't know why he came, and I'd like to ask you for information about him.

Sakazuki frowned after hearing this.

He hadn't paid much attention to news about Bondiwald, but he could find out by asking around.

He waved his hand, summoning the adjutant who was rushing ahead, and after asking him questions, he spoke to Raleigh;

I don't have much information about Bondiwald either, but according to the confession of the pirates we captured, he saw Bondiwald fighting Whitebeard for several days, so he must have been beaten up by Whitebeard.

Sakazuki really wanted to take Whitebeard's head.

It's so hard to get promoted these days. Without some impressive achievements, you can only painstakingly accumulate seniority.

The New World, the latter half of the Grand Line, is overflowing with pirates.

Sakazuki has been hunting pirates here for a long time, but hasn't caught a single big one. I guess he was defeated by Whitebeard and is resentful, wanting to return to the North Blue to find some weapon. After all, his ability combined with weapons is quite terrifying.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Sakazuki."

After hanging up the phone, Raleigh sat on a bench, deep in thought.

He probably now knows why a legendary pirate like Bondiworld would come to this place.

Unfortunately, the weapons available on the Grand Line couldn't meet his needs.

The North Sea is rich in both weapons and mineral resources, so even if he wanted to build an incredibly large giant ship, he would have enough resources to support it.

Bondiward Vulcan Mine Resources

Raleigh seemed to have grasped something important, but he lacked a thread to connect the dots.

A little-known village in Beihai.

The once picturesque village has now become a living hell, with a group of pirates feasting and drinking in the center of the village.

The burly man at the head wore a helmet with a broken bull horn.

His beard was surprisingly green, which was quite striking.

He was eating large mouthfuls of grilled meat, with a huge beer barrel next to him.

He must have gotten a little tired of eating meat, because he grabbed a beer barrel next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

After setting down the empty beer keg, his face turned slightly flushed with wine. He looked at his companions approaching from a distance and laughed loudly, saying:

"Nai-seri, how are the mineral resources on this island?"

A still-attractive young woman with purple hair walked over, wearing a purple-red cheongsam under a white cloak, her large, bouncy breasts swaying back and forth.

"Well, Captain, the island's mineral resources aren't very abundant. I just checked all the reserves, and they can only build about a third of the giant cannon."

After hearing what Naiqin said, Bondiwald was a little angry. The reason he ran back to the North Sea was because he lost a fight with Whitebeard.

In his not-so-bright mind, he believed that the reason he hadn't beaten Whitebeard was because his fruit hadn't been used to its fullest potential.

If an unprecedented giant cannon could be built, and then enhanced by the Momo-Momo Fruit, it would be possible to sink Whitebeard's ship with a single shot.

If Whitebeard chooses to take the hit head-on, then Wald will face a severely injured Whitebeard, and either way, he'll come out ahead.

"Sigh, without the giant cannon, we'll be bullied again when we return to the New World."

Before arriving in the New World, Bondiwald's catchphrase was "Destroy everything that stands in my way."

Indeed, his journey proved his words true.

From the moment he obtained the Momo-Momo Fruit and embarked on his journey with Bin Jack, everything from naval warships and powerful pirates to innocent civilians along the way turned to ashes under his firepower.

Because of his nickname, the World Government named him "World Destroyer".

However, once he arrived in the new world and truly joined the competition in the Monster Room, he discovered that he was not as invincible as he had imagined.

Whether it was Roger, who didn't eat Devil Fruits but whose Haki and swordsmanship were unparalleled, or Shiki and Whitebeard, who were all top-notch in terms of Devil Fruits, Haki, and swordsmanship, he never gained the upper hand.

Bondiwald had never been treated like this before. He believed that his abilities were no less than those monsters', and the reason he couldn't defeat them was simply because he didn't have any equipment that could unleash his full potential!

The purpose of returning to Beihai this time is to plunder refined iron resources and forge an invincible cannon.

Then, they stormed into the new world to pursue the highest position.

"Ahem, Wald, it doesn't matter if we don't find enough resources. We can choose not to fight for them," said Bin Jack, who was sitting next to Wald, coughing.

He was in poor health and had to receive intravenous fluids every day to stay alive.

"Trust my brother, I will definitely build a giant cannon that will blast everything in our way."

Bondiwald clenched his fist and said in a serious tone.

"Have you made contact with the underworld in Beihai? What did they say?"

Naishin pushed up her small glasses and said,

"We contacted many Mafia families that sell weapons, but most of them said they couldn't make what we wanted!"

The only mafia family with technical capabilities, the Don Quixote family, is rushing to produce a large batch of standard-issue weapons; they seem to have landed a big job.

The Don Quixote family, huh? Find out their location, then we'll go directly there and make them produce it. If they can't, we'll wipe them out.

Bondiwald said nonchalantly.

In his mind, the people of Beihai were all ants, not worth paying attention to at all.

"Mr. Raven, this is the last batch of weapons. Would you like to take inventory?"

At the Don Quixote family's residence, Trebol was inspecting weapons and equipment with the ravens.

This is the last batch of supplies to be loaded onto the ship.

At first, he thought the demand for crows was not high, but after actually taking on this order, he realized that it would consume a huge amount of minerals.

If Dragon hadn't promptly sent two chests of treasure, Torebol would have thought Raven couldn't afford so many weapons and equipment.

However, in retrospect, this deal turned out to be a very worthwhile one. Although the unit price was not high, the large quantity made it worthwhile, and the Don Quixote family made a fortune from this deal.

"Thanks to the young master's foresight, otherwise we would have missed out on this great deal."

After Raleigh beat up Doflamingo last time, the entire Donquixote Family disliked Raleigh.

In retrospect, aside from being a bit domineering, Raleigh is at least quite reasonable, and you can really make money doing business with him.

Torrepol looked at the wealth in the treasury and thought about where he would spend it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The young master entrusted the family to him, so he had to work hard to develop the family's power and strive to surprise the young master when he returned.

Alright, I have complete faith in your quality. Load everything onto the ship; I'll be heading back today.

Raven no longer considers himself the leader of the uprising; he has completely handed over the work of the uprising to Monkey D. Dragon.

Now, Raven is only focused on helping Dragon launch a successful revolution, which is why he personally came to make this arms deal.

Actually, sending someone else would have been fine, but it's not as good as having a crow come in person to bring peace of mind.

It was a pleasure working with you, and I hope there will be a next time, Mr. Crow.

Torrepol was all smiles and wanted to hug his big spender, but Raven, seeing the snot hanging from Torrepol's face, took a half step back without making a sound.

"Um, Mr. Torrepol, this shipment of weapons is very important to us, so I'll head back now."

Raven practically fled with his fellow soldiers until he had loaded all his weapons and equipment onto the ship and was far from the Don Quixote family's port before he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"This guy is absolutely disgusting."

The crow felt somewhat helpless, but seeing the neatly arranged weapon boxes beside it, it put that feeling aside.

"Wow, such good weapons and equipment! I've never seen anything like it before."

It must be said that the Don Quixote family is superior to other local Mafia families.

It might be related to Doflamingo.

This guy realized the importance of technology from the very beginning, and he spared no expense, buying and even stealing, to acquire dozens of experts and veteran craftsmen specializing in weapon manufacturing.

Having emerged from the Grand Line, their level of understanding is different from that of the natives of the North Sea.

Under Doflamingo's control, the Donquixote Family's weapons achieved a 93% success rate, a figure that is almost impossible to reach.

The thought of fighting the king's guard with such excellent weapons filled the crow with a sense of pride and ambition.

Mr. Long, just wait and see what great things we'll do when we get back!

Carrying a ship full of weapons and equipment, Raven and his crew embarked on their journey back to the Kingdom of Eryokobu.

"Found it! Found it!"

Lord Raleigh, Bondiwald has plundered several villages in the North Sea, and his bounty has increased from 230 million Berries to 410 million Berries.

His fleet has expanded dramatically, from a pirate fleet of a few hundred men to a large fleet of several thousand men, and our people have infiltrated it as well.

"Bondiwald is frantically plundering the North Sea's iron resources, supposedly to build an unprecedented giant submarine, and also to create an unparalleled cannon."

One by one, naval intelligence officers placed information about Bondiwald's movements after arriving in the North Sea on Raleigh's desk.

Raleigh picked up one of the intelligence reports and began to examine it carefully.

hiss!

So that's what this guy was planning.

The idea is indeed unique: the power-up from the Momo-Momo Fruit combined with an unparalleled cannon.

This guy can wield weapons comparable to ancient weapons.

Only someone with exceptional wisdom on Bondiwald's ship could have come up with the idea of ​​a cannon capable of destroying an island at any time.

This actually made it easier for Raleigh to plan his strategy.

Because when it comes to the North Sea's refined iron resources, no country can compare to the quantity of refined iron in the Kingdom of Erjuk.

The message was released that the Kingdom of Eryoko possessed a large quantity of refined iron ore, which would soon be transported to the New World.

Raleigh relayed the order to the intelligence officers in front of him: they would get the message to Bondiwald's ears as quickly as possible.

"In that case, the third condition for the revolution is about to be met."

In the eyes of the World Government, Bondiwald is a troublesome pirate.

Unlike Whitebeard and Golden Lion, who fight for territory without causing trouble, this guy is too reckless.

No matter what it is, if it blocks his path, he dares to fire directly.

He is said to have openly attacked and sank the World Government's naval fleet, making him one of the most vicious pirates.

Raleigh was a bit of a headache. Although he could use this guy, he didn't have the ability to subdue him right now. If he wanted to subdue him, he would have to put in a lot more effort. He took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed without even looking at it.

"Moshi moshi, what are you doing, brother?"

A lazy voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi:

"It's Little Lorion. The North Sea hasn't been very peaceful lately. I've been invited to the kingdom to protect the nobles here. What's the matter?"

Borsalino lay on a sun lounger on the warship, a gift from Raleigh.

Holding a steaming cup of black tea in one hand and a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) in the other, he felt very content.

I've got some intelligence; Bondiwald has his eye on the refined iron the World Government is trying to transport from the Kingdom of Eryokobu. I can't handle him alone; you'll have to come."

Raleigh quickly relayed the message to Borsalino!

"Bondiwald, that's a destructive maniac, a complete madman, a truly terrifying monster."

"How do you know he's going to attack the World Government's ships to steal the refined iron?"

Borsalino's expression was somewhat serious.

He was naturally familiar with the name Bondiwald, but in his memory, this guy was always in the latter half of the Grand Line, fighting with other pirates in the New World for territory. That's why he had a Marine intelligence agent infiltrate their pirate crew and learned that Bondiwald wanted to build an enormous cannon.

A large quantity of refined iron ore is needed.

He somehow got information that the World Government was going to transport a large quantity of refined iron that had already been smelted. Therefore, I suspect that this mad dog will definitely attack the World Government's ships.

Raleigh, without batting an eye, relayed information about Bondiwald.

How terrifying! If that's the case, then I really need to make a trip to the Kingdom of Eryo.

Borsalino sensed something was amiss, but he chose to believe Raleigh.

If something like this happened in the North Sea, the world government would be furious.

If Bondiwald really obtained a large amount of refined iron ore and made that cannon, plus his Momo Fruit...

Borsalino dared not imagine what the consequences would be.

A madman obtains a weapon capable of destroying the world; the outcome is certainly unacceptable to the Navy.

After ending the call, Raleigh smiled and revealed that he had made a brief plan: when Bondiwald attacked the World Government's ships, the uprising of the Kingdom of Eryorobu would proceed simultaneously.

Even if it's just to save face, the World Government will prioritize dealing with the Bondiwald incident.

If he and his brother Borsalino can successfully defeat Bondiwald, then the uprising that broke out in the Kingdom of Eryorobu will not affect them.

He might even be able to improve his status in the navy by virtue of this achievement.

P.S.: In the new year, I wish everyone all their wishes come true, good health, and a full wallet. May your loved ones be by your side.

I drank too much with my brothers in the family today, I'll try to update normally tomorrow.
