Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Bruno's tone revealed a threat, "You underestimate your position in the World Government. In addition, the legendary admiral who is known as the hero of the navy is not far from this sea area.

"If it really comes to that, the higher-ups will definitely call him over for support. You should know what such a lineup means to the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Navy hero!"

Robin's pupils instantly dilated when he heard this title.

A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. This naval hero, who had sailed on the sea for decades and was known to everyone, was like the last straw that broke the camel's back and made her completely despair.

In addition to the CP9 in front of us, there are also the Demon Slayer, the headquarters admiral, and the navy hero.

This kind of lineup is definitely a devastating blow to their pirate group!

Robin gritted her teeth and stared at Bruno. The other party didn't seem to be lying. She didn't expect that the World Government would go to such lengths for her.

Is she really destined not to be with everyone?

The fire gradually dimmed, like a candle in the wind that would go out at any moment, but Robin was unwilling to loosen his clenched hands.

"I see."

Robin slumped back in his chair, feeling hopeless, and said, "I agree to your terms, as long as you promise not to attack my companions again.

"I'll leave with you."

Bruno also breathed a sigh of relief. It would save a lot of trouble if he didn't have to go to war with the Straw Hat Pirates.

"It's a wise choice. This is the best way and will benefit both of us."

Chapter 109 Six Styles!

As night falls, dark clouds cover the moon. The bustling city during the day becomes quiet. Thousands of lights are turned on, and the streets are deserted.

The city is in a state of panic over the approaching water gods.

Dock No. 1 was brightly lit, the ship workers had all gone off work, the empty shipyard was silent and deserted, with only the lighting equipment still on.

Deep inside the dock, there was an entrance leading to a typical European-style mansion, and several men in black walked out of it angrily.

This is the headquarters of Carrera Corporation and the residence of Iceberg, the mayor of Seven Water City.

In a spacious study, Bingshan was looking at reports on the table, including reports about Carrera's recent business orders and progress reports on the Water Gods' refuge plan.

Behind him, there was a wanted poster hanging on the wall. If anyone from the Straw Hat Pirates were here, they would definitely be able to recognize it.

Because the photo above is actually Nico Robin!

Boom boom boom!

"Mr. Iceberg, it's me. What would you like to drink?"

Hearing a knock on the door, Bingshan put down the documents in his hand and looked up, "It's Khalifa, give me a cup of black tea."

Kalifa gently opened the door, holding a tray with a pot of brewed black tea and a cup on it, and walked to the desk and put the tray down.

"I've already made it for you." Kalifa poured a cup of black tea for Bingshan, then stepped aside and stood by the window.

"Oh, it's you indeed."

Bingshan praised her as usual, "You are so capable, Khalifa. It's a lot easier to have a secretary like you."

"Mr. Iceberg, thank you for the compliment."

Khalifa pushed up her glasses. "I just saw Mr. Gotch storming out. Are they here to trouble you again?"

"No big deal."

Bingshan took a few sips of the tea and said calmly, "They just want to buy one of my collections."

"I see. I can't help but become curious."

Kalifa turned her head and looked out the window, watching the men in black gradually leaving downstairs, with a puzzled look on her face.

"What kind of collection is it that warrants the World Government officials to come to you again and again? It won't be a problem, right? After all, you never treat them well every time."

"Don't worry about this."

Bingshan walked straight to the window and stood with Kalifa, "After all, I am the mayor of Water 7. No matter what, they won't take direct action."

"I can rest assured that."

Carly walked to the desk and refilled the teacup. "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. You should get some rest early."

"Yeah, I'm done."

Bingshan sat back in his chair, "You should also go back and rest early, Kalifa."

Khalifa put away the tray and was about to leave. When she opened the office door, she saw a blond man standing at the door, raising his hand to knock on the door, with a little girl following behind him.

"Oh~, the secretary is here too."

Reiner pulled his hand back and glanced behind Kalifa, "I'm here to find the iceberg."

"You are a member of the Straw Hat Pirates during the day."

Bingshan saw the man stand up from his chair, walked around the desk and approached, "It's so late, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Mr. Iceberg, please step back!"

Kalifa raised her hand and shouted to stop Iceberg from coming forward, staring at Reiner with an unfriendly look.

"You rude pirate! You are forbidden to approach Mr. Iceberg. What is your purpose here? And how did you get in?"

"I walked in."

Reiner pointed to the empty corridor at the back and said, "Don't you guys want some bodyguards?"

"Kalifa, there's no need to do this. Pirates are also guests." Iceberg tried to press down Kalifa's hand.

However, Kalifa was not polite at all, "Shut up! Have you finished your work? Let me chase him away, and you go back to work hard!"

iceberg:"."

It's another day of being whipped by the secretary.

"Ah! Sorry Mr. Iceberg!"

Kalifa suddenly looked guilty again, and immediately stepped back and bowed, "I was so rude just now, I actually said such a thing to you!"

"Ahem, it's okay."

Bingshan was speechless. He was used to Kalifa's mental jumps. At least he didn't get kicked today. "You go back first. I'll talk to the guest."

"Yes."

Kalifa stood up and responded, glancing coldly at Reiner before leaving, "Disrespectful pirate, please be careful not to approach Mr. Iceberg within three meters when talking."

"What a strict secretary."

Reiner looked past Kalifa and jokingly asked Iceberg, "Why do you treat your boss like a beast of burden?"

"Well, don't look at Kalifa like this, she is actually very capable."

After Kalifa closed the door and walked out, Bingshan raised his hand and gestured to the blue leather sofa beside him, "Please sit here. You came to see me so late, what's the matter?"

"Well, I'm blackmailing you about the boat and the money."

Reiner walked over to the sofa and sat down, lying on the backrest, his whole body sinking into it, "It's obviously a leather sofa, why is it so soft? I'll buy one later."

"The Shuishui sofa, which is unique to the Seven Water City, is pretty good, right?"

Bingshan sat down opposite Reiner and asked in confusion, "I heard about the ship from Kaku, what do you mean by the money?"

"The money was stolen." Reiner sat up and smiled cunningly.

"During the day at the shipyard, a few thugs from Franky's House stole my 200 million Baileys. They came with the money to repair the ship, but the money was stolen on your territory. Do you want to do anything about this?"

The money was stolen from Reiner on his own initiative, but it doesn't matter, otherwise how can it be called extortion.

"The Franky family."

Bingshan scratched his head in embarrassment, "You are really unlucky. The other party is a notorious local gangster. I am afraid it will be difficult for you to get your money back.

"But, they don't expect us to pay them back, right? That makes me feel a little embarrassed."

"Ah, it's okay, I killed them all." Reiner said calmly with a cold look in his eyes.

"What did you say!" Bingshan was startled and could no longer sit still.

"Why are you so excited? Aren't they all notorious thugs?"

"Oh no, I'm just a little shocked."

Bingshan's hands clenched unconsciously, but he still pretended to be calm, "Then what do you want from me? Also, are you sure you want to kill them all?"

"It was just a joke. I didn't kill him. I just taught him a lesson."

Reiner waved his hand, but the other party's reaction was greater than he expected.

"It's like this, the other party's boss, Franky, took our money and went to buy the wood from Baoshu Adam;

"I want to ask if we can use that wood to repair the ship better. After all, it is said to be the most valuable wood."

"So that's it."

Bingshan heaved a sigh of relief. "I have learned about the ship from Kaku. If we use the wood from the Adam tree,

Bingshan thought about it in his mind for a while, and then continued, "It's not that there is no way, but it's not a good way.

"First, thin the balsa soft bamboo wood, stack three layers and stick them on the keel, and then wrap it with Adam. The outside is hard and the inside has enough cushioning."

Bingshan stood up and took a pot of black tea from the desk, then took out a new cup and poured it into it, then continued:

"It's like putting on armor and filling it with sponges. This can greatly extend the life of the ship, but it's a stupid method and does nothing except save the ship.

"Basa bamboo is not only very tough, but also light. Although it is not as valuable as Adam wood, its price is not low. Not to mention the cost of making it, it is totally not cost-effective."

Reiner listened quietly. If it was just the high cost, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the other party obviously had something else to say. He pushed the iceberg over the black tea and explained calmly:

“More importantly, the keel must be a whole piece of wood and cannot be spliced and extended. If it is wrapped in this way, the main structure of the boat will be very bloated and the cabin space will be greatly squeezed;

“Although you are few in number, the ship itself is not very big. Therefore, even if the ship is repaired, the space on board will be greatly reduced, which means that many functions of the ship will have to be sacrificed.

"Although it can greatly extend the life of the ship, this is just repairing the ship for the sake of repairing the ship. With all due respect, as a self-proclaimed first-class shipbuilder, I will not do such a design that puts the cart before the horse."

After Bingshan finished speaking, it was easy to understand what the other party said. Reiner also felt deeply that the Merry was indeed very small.
