Pirates' Max Level System

"Qin Luo, Qin Luo, are you there? Whitebeard said he wants to see you." Before the sudden incident happened, the door to the front hall of the palace where Qin Luo was was suddenly pushed open. Who else could it be but Tsunade?

"Ah...Snap." The sharp scream and the crisp sound of the palm touching the face say it all.

After doing all this, Peach Rabbit ran away in a hurry, not knowing whether it was angry or embarrassed.

"Qin Luo, you are here. What's wrong with your face? And was that Taotu's voice just now?" After hearing the voice, Tsunade found the room where Qin Luo was and saw Qin Luo lying on the sofa.

Not to mention Tsunade, Qin Luo himself was also confused. He was completely focused on thinking about the problem just now. He didn't know what happened. Anyway, he was suddenly slapped by Taotu, even though Taotu was gently massaging his shoulders just a moment ago.

Fortunately, Qin Luo didn't know, otherwise he would have felt like he had missed out on hundreds of millions. With Qin Luo's body, the red mark caused by the peach rabbit slap came and went quickly.

"What, is there something on my face? I'm also wondering what happened to Taotu." Qin Luo said frankly, and because the red mark disappeared quickly, Tsunade didn't think much about it.

"Maybe I saw it wrong. Whitebeard said he wanted to see you." Tsunade snuggled up to Qin Luo. Should we say that Tsunade and Taotu are good sisters? They have the same routine. As soon as Tsunade sat down, she began to massage Qin Luo's shoulders.

"No, the relationship between us and the Whitebeard Pirates is not just an equal alliance. Whitebeard should also have this understanding. Let's leave it alone for now and wait until all the casualties are counted." Qin Luo said after thinking for a while.

According to Qin Luo's meaning, the Liuyun Pirates will be independent of Fishman Island, Sky Island, O'Hara, and the forces and territories they will acquire in the future. They are a force that belongs only to Qin Luo. The Whitebeard Pirates are allies Qin Luo selected for the next-level forces such as Fishman Island, not allies of the Liuyun Pirates.

The Liuyun Pirates also don't need allies. This pirate group, or this force, will be built by Qin Luo into his own Akatsuki, and will only accept Qin Luo's women and summoned subordinates.

"I agree. I think this is the best way too. I'll reply to Whitebeard later." Tsunade quickly put herself into the role of management. As a former Hokage, it was easy for her to act as Qin Luo's secretary.

Tsunade's appearance brought a good medicine to Qin Luo, who was thinking hard about the problem of future development. Taking this opportunity, Qin Luo asked Tsunade a lot of questions.

Except for a few questions that need further discussion, Qin Luo got answers to many of his doubts from Tsunade. At least he vaguely found the direction for the future.

After having Tsunade as his senior secretary, Qin Luo handed over a large number of matters to Tsunade in accordance with the modern scientific principle of efficient organizational management, "the secretary does the work when there is work, and the secretary does the work when there is nothing to do."

"Dad, the merman king Neptune just came over and said that the God of Flowing Clouds refused to meet with us now." Marco said as he pushed the door open.

Because there were no extra rooms on Fishman Island, most of the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were on the pirate ship, and only Whitebeard and several captains of the pirate group were assigned a palace.

"Oh, that's how it is." Whitebeard was not surprised at all. After seeing Liuyun's strength, Whitebeard also had a clear positioning of himself.

After the war, Whitebeard received firsthand information that Liuyun had once again wreaked havoc in the Holy Land of Marijoa, via a call from a king he had protected. Liuyun could even single-handedly take on the pirates of the World Government and the Allied Forces if he so desired.

What Whitebeard couldn't understand was why, with Liuyun's strength, he needed to cooperate with him. Was he just asking them to detain the pirates? Whitebeard didn't know when his pirate group began to have the potential to be prison guards.

...0

"Hmph, Liuyun is too arrogant. He doesn't give dad any face at all. If it weren't for dad's intervention, this Dragon Palace City would have become ruins long ago." Suddenly, a person in a corner of the room said.

Marshall D. Teach, the famous Blackbeard who later replaced Whitebeard as the new Four Emperors, appeared in Whitebeard's fleet at some point and quickly became the vice-captain.

"Don't talk nonsense, Tikki."

Whitebeard and several other captains immediately chided him in unison. They were more aware of Liuyun's terrifying power than the newly emerging and ambitious Blackbeard. Having experienced Liuyun's three great displays of power, they had become synonymous with invincibility.

Seeing so many people accusing him, Blackbeard, who had been carefully hiding his thoughts, immediately acted nice and got away with it. No one else knew what was in his mind.

After this, Whitebeard also began to discuss some issues for future development, including how to deal with prisoners and the relationship with the Ryuun Pirates.

Time passed quickly and night fell, which also meant the arrival of the party.

The counting of prisoners and casualties could be delayed for two or three days, but the banquet could not be delayed even a moment. During the banquet, Whitebeard received answers to some of his doubts from Neptune.

Chapter 524: Banquet and the Embryo of Power

Almost no one knew that the Fishman King Neptune and Whitebeard knew each other and had a close relationship.

The story of Whitebeard and Neptune dates back many years. At that time, Neptune was not yet the king of Fishman Island, and Whitebeard was just a young man who had just set sail with his dream.

Only the two people know their story, but this does not prevent the old friends from meeting again many years later.

It was also to repay Whitebeard for helping him block Big Mom's attack. In response to Whitebeard's questions, Neptune answered his old friend's doubts one by one without touching on Qin Luo's information.

"So, Liuyun Shen intends to make the Whitebeard Pirates an ally of 'Fish-man Island'." Whitebeard emphasized the word 'Fish-man Island'.

Neptune frowned and thought for a while before saying, "That should be it. From now on, all contact with the Whitebeard Pirates will be handled by me."

Thinking of what Tsunade had said to him before, Neptune felt that he had not misunderstood.

"Isn't the God of Flowing Cloud planning to attend the banquet?" Whitebeard asked, raising his glass and clinking it with Neptune's.

Tonight's banquet was very grand, stretching from the main hall of Ryugu Castle to the still intact square on the edge of Ryugu Castle. All the residents of Fishman Island and members of the Whitebeard Pirates participated, except for the members of the Ryuyun Pirates.

Yes, not a single member of the Ryuyun Pirates showed up, whether it was Ryuyun, Tsunade, Itachi, or the Nine-Tails.

"That's such a pity." Whitebeard's idea of ​​meeting Liuyun by chance was shattered before it even began to materialize, and he felt helpless.

"Don't worry. In two or three days, when the casualties and prisoners are almost counted, the God of Flowing Cloud will naturally summon you." Neptune patted Whitebeard's shoulder and said. Neptune knew very well that his old friend had passed the test of the Flowing Cloud Pirates, and Qin Luo would not make things difficult for them.

"Thanks for your good wishes, let's drink." Putting aside his worries, tonight was indeed a good day to get drunk. Even if the main character didn't show up, it wouldn't make the party any less exciting.

While the Whitebeard Pirates and the residents of Fishman Island were celebrating together, Qin Luo and his group were also having a banquet deep in Ryugu Castle.

Savoring the wine of victory is the most basic thing, no matter which world you are in.

Qin Luo did not attend the banquet at the Dragon Palace Palace, not because he did not like banquets, but because he was afraid of trouble. Yes, with so many people, especially many members of the Whitebeard Pirates, Qin Luo did not want to attend the banquet wearing a mask.

There's nothing stupider than attending a banquet wearing a mask. Not only would eating be troublesome, but there would be no peace and quiet at all. Qin Luo recalled the few times he had attended Neptune's dinner parties before, and most of them were not very good memories.

It’s okay for the young and beautiful mermaid girls, but why do those old ladies keep rubbing against him?

So Qin Luo simply held a banquet in the palace where he and his friends were staying.

In an extremely luxurious hall of nearly 200 square meters, there are several long tables more than ten meters long placed in a row, filled with delicious food and fine wine. Beautiful mermaid maids and Sky Island angel maids are walking in and out of the hall, constantly bringing new dishes.

Aside from the maids in costumes, only nine people were actually enjoying the feast. They were the four leading figures: Qin Luo, Tsunade, Momosaki, and Olivia. Itachi and Kyuubi, who ate quietly, sat by the sidelines. Roger and Luju, who had also come to participate, and Hidan, who was tied up like a mummy.

Taking this opportunity, Qin Luo brought up the matter he had previously discussed with Tsunade. The development of Sky Island and Fishman Island was put on the agenda.

Many problems have been solved, and Qin Luo's future power framework has also taken shape. With Qin Luo as the leader, a parliament will be formed under the power in the future.

This parliament will discuss and determine the development decisions of the entire force through voting when Qin Luo is not around or has no time.

Under the parliament, there will be several important departments, including the United Front Work Department, Development Center, Research Institute, and Security Bureau, which will correspond to future combat, development, research, and intelligence respectively.

Under these four departments, new divisions will be established to divide responsibilities, just like the United Front Work Department will have a staff office responsible for formulating strategies, a combat group responsible for combat, and a security company for internal protection.

Whether it is the parliament or the United Front Work Department, Development Center, Research Institute, or Security Bureau, these four important departments, Qin Luo will not let anyone in easily...

Unless they are characters summoned by Qin Luo himself, anyone in the pirate world who wants to enter these five departments needs to go through numerous tests and long periods of observation, just like Neptune and Roger.

The other organizations set up under these departments will be relatively relaxed, but they will also need to pass the test. As a master of illusion, Itachi will be in charge of all matters in this regard.

But at the same time, new problems also emerged, and they were important problems that could not be ignored. Qin Luo had no one on his side. Even if the unreliable Fei Duan and Roger who joined in the middle were included, the number of people Qin Luo could use could be counted on one hand.

But this is far from enough, and Qin Luo is not at ease with just a few people joining in. Based on the principle of "better to have nothing than to have something of inferior quality", Qin Luo also wants to ensure the absolute loyalty of this force to him.

Qin Luo had previously thought about using summoning abilities less frequently to summon people from other worlds, but this idea was shot down before it even warmed up in his mind.

Points, after all, it's still a matter of points. This reminded Qin Luo of a saying: as long as you keep charging, you will become stronger.

"Qin Luo, you asked me to be the head of the intelligence agency. I have no objection, but it is not convenient for me to appear in front of the world now." It was Roger who spoke. He seemed not particularly willing to do so, perhaps because he was concerned about the risk of being exposed.

"It's the Security Bureau." Qin Luo corrected.

"It's all the same. Aren't they just organizations that collect intelligence information?" Roger said.

"You don't have to worry about that. Black Jack is now in the prison of Ryugu City. After a while, I will be able to extract his devil fruit and transfer it to you." Speaking of Black Jack, Qin Luo's resentment about points broke out again.

Black Jack has been in his hands for a while, but he has never accumulated enough points to devour Black Jack's devil fruit.

"Black Jack, the Black Jack from the Kongming Pirates? His fruit? You mean I can have his invisibility ability." Roger stood up suddenly from his seat. It was the first time he heard Qin Luo say this.

Chapter 525: Actions of All Parties

Uh, didn’t I tell Roger about this before? Seeing Roger so excited, Qin Luo was confused. To be honest, this...

Forget it, it’s no use trying to reason with Roger in this state.

Yes, I must have wanted to give Roger a surprise before, so I didn't tell him. In Qin Luo's heart, he explained to himself this way.

"Well, it's what you think. I can devour the devil fruit abilities of others. Of course, depending on the situation, it will probably require some small price."

After receiving Qin Luo's affirmative answer, Roger sat down in a daze.

"Why, you don't want it? Can't you accept that the former Pirate King has become a landlubber?" Seeing Roger's sudden change of mood, Qin Luo asked with some confusion.

In fact, there is one thing that Qin Luo has always found strange. Whether it is the Four Emperors or the Seven Warlords of the Sea, or even the protagonist Luffy, most of those who want to pursue the title of Pirate King are Devil Fruit users.

According to Qin Luo's knowledge, except for Pirate King Roger, Red Hair Shanks, and Kaido, those who are not users of the Devil 19 Fruit are basically swordsmen.

Isn't it strange that a man who wants to conquer the sea can't even touch the water?

"No, how could that be? I was just too happy. I never thought that one day I would be able to return to that sea. The false reputation of Pirate King has long disappeared with the news of my death. I don't care about it at all." Roger's voice trembled a little, and Lu Jiu hugged him tightly beside him.

Qin Luo couldn't help but sigh. It was really too much for a man with such a big heart to be locked up in a small room. Qin Luo had also worried that Roger's self-imprisonment would make him depressed.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. It will only take a few months at most." Qin Luo estimated that the first batch of devil fruits sent by the World Government, plus the devil fruits exchanged for the pirate captives in Ryugu Castle, would be enough for him to accumulate enough points to devour Black Jack.

With Qin Luo's promise, Roger immediately expressed his willingness to serve Qin Luo in the future. Roger took off his captain's hat and presented it to Qin Luo. This is a well-known ceremony among pirates. It represents that Roger will accept Qin Luo as the new captain and pledge allegiance to him.

This is a hat similar to Big Mom's two-cornered hat Napoleon. The previous straw hat has been given to Red Hair by Roger, otherwise Qin Luo would have been able to see that legendary straw hat.

You should know that this straw hat is listed as one of the three incredible magical hats, along with the Hogwarts Sorting Hat and the Green Hat, which can respectively select the Pirate King, the Magic Apprentice, and the Honest Man.

This night was different for different people, but one thing was the same: after a long night, everyone took action.

Whether it was the World Government and the Navy cleaning up the mess in the Holy Land of Marijoa, the pirates who had spent a night in prison, or the onlookers who prepared sunflower seeds and drinks and were not afraid of getting involved, everyone was busy.

The same is true for Qin Luo and his group, but as the victors, they can always be more calm.

The execution ceremony on the holy land of Mary Geoise was broadcast live, but when Liuyun was "resurrected", the live broadcast was interrupted by some unknown force majeure.

However, the huge noise on the holy land of Mary Geoise and the collapse of the red earth continent were still witnessed by countless people and spread throughout the world in some tabloids on the same day.

However, surprisingly, for two to three days thereafter, there was no news related to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise in all the newspapers in the world. There was not even any news about the united forces attacking Fishman Island. It was all gossip and anecdotes.

The newspapers these past two days have probably had the worst content in over a decade. Even on peaceful days, these newspapers wouldn't be this quiet.

Shocking! The newspapers have collectively lost their minds and turned newspapers into children's books. What is behind this? Is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality?

But those who are well-informed know that this is just the calm before the storm. According to the "I Have a Friend" series, all newspaper offices and printing factories have been working day and night for the past two days, working at full speed, just waiting for the story to begin.

In order to deal with this situation, the World Government detained several newspaper and media bosses who were invited to the holy land of Mary Geoise. At the same time, the navy's assembled fleet was secretly disbanded, trying to return to their respective defense zones before the kings and representatives of various countries returned.

But is this really useful? Qin Luo, who had been prepared, sent a big gift to all major newspapers, the complete video of the execution of Holy Land Mary Joa on the day of the execution.

While the Navy and the World Government were dealing with the world's well-known media companies, Qin Luo and others knocked on the prison door of the pirates of the united forces.

Qin Luo and the others didn't say much. With so many pirates and forces imprisoned, it would take forever to investigate them one by one. Therefore, these pirate groups were screened, and those that belonged to Whitebeard's spoils were naturally dealt with by Whitebeard.

They directly found the captains and representatives of each pirate group, and based on their situation, Qin Luo and others handed over a treaty. Yes, it was the kind that would humiliate the country. This kind of thing really only felt that it would not be excessive when one was the victorious party.

Except for a few pirate groups, Qin Luo and others did not give these pirate groups any chance to bargain. You either sign or wait to die in prison.

"Aren't you planning to recruit Big Mom's pirate group?" Apart from being a little hoarse, the voice was easily recognizable as Big Mom's.

At this time, Charlotte Linlin was locked to the wall by the lock that Qin Luo exchanged from the system, and Qin Luo used repulsion to unfold the treaty belonging to Big Mom's pirate group in the air in front of her eyes, making it easier for her to see. Qin Luo also threw a copy of the same treaty to Katakuri.

"Recruit? Why do I need you scumbags? Are you going to cause trouble for me?" Qin Luo used the repulsive force to condense into a chair and just sat there in the empty air.

Because of the severe shortage of manpower, Qin Luo also discussed whether to recruit these pirate groups. However, these pirates had problems in terms of loyalty, strength, and character.

So the final conclusion is not surprising, no, instead these pirate groups will be referred to as affiliated pirate groups of the Liuyun Pirates in the future, they are not allowed to be enemies of the Liuyun Pirates, and they need to pay tribute to the Liuyun Pirates once a year.

In addition, the Liuyun Pirates have three opportunities to unconditionally command each pirate group, unless such behavior will lead to the demise of the pirate group.

Chapter 526 Negotiations in Progress

If these pirate groups were required to unconditionally obey the orders of the Liuyun Pirates in the future, the captains of these pirate groups would probably not be willing to accept it.

What’s the difference between this and being recruited? I even have to work for Liuyun for free.

But three times is different, this number always hovers on the edge of being acceptable and unacceptable. For the Liuyun Pirates, they don't have many opportunities to use these pirate groups, and three times is estimated to be enough for a long time.

It's even possible that these pirate groups will disappear from the Grand Line before their three chances are exhausted. Given the treacherous nature of the second half of the Grand Line and the struggles between various factions, that kind of death rate is no joke.

Therefore, almost all the captains of the pirate groups accepted this after considering it for a while. You know, they made the worst-case scenario of being recruited by the Liuyun Pirates.

Now that I have the opportunity to gain my freedom and continue to be my own captain, what else can I be dissatisfied with?

Of course, this is only the first article in the treaty and the prerequisite for the treaty to continue to be negotiated.

Afterwards, based on the size of each pirate group, Qin Luo and others gave them different compensation requirements, ranging from money, supplies to devil fruits.

"What, three hundred devil fruits? You might as well just kill me and take the Big Mom Pirates away." Big Mom found most of the compensation terms in the treaty acceptable, until she saw the last one, then she screamed out loud.

"It's just 300 Devil Fruits, right? I don't believe that Big Mom's pirate group can't collect them with their strength. You know, my conditions are already very generous. 300 Devil Fruits, to be delivered within 20 years. I'm asking the World Government to deliver 700 Devil Fruits to Fishman Island within two years."
