Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Yes!"

After the soldier left, Virgo took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, but the half fish fillet stuck on it seemed to be ignored by him.

After making sure that there was no one around, Vergo took out the Den Den Mushi that he used to contact Doflamingo.

"Dover, it's me, from Punk Hazard..."

"No need to deal with it specially, just follow the navy's procedures. Don't interfere in this matter, there are bigger people who will end up in trouble."

"Yes, I understand."

After hanging up the call with Doflamingo, Vergo immediately gave new orders.

"Collect the information of those children and let Smoker send them home one by one."

Their military ranks are both lieutenant generals, but Vergo is the base commander of G5, one level higher than Smoker in position. In the absence of orders from the headquarters, he has the right to command Smoker.

......

At the same time, in New World, the island of performances, a grand concert opens again.

Brook walked onto the stage dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding a specially made shark-shaped guitar. From the moment he appeared, cheers broke out from the audience.

"Soul King! Soul King! Soul King!"

With his unique appearance and loud singing voice, Brook has successfully made a name for himself in the past and has become the second most popular man in the Beast Fruit Performance Department after Taizulo.

This also meant that Cavendish was surpassed, and at this time he was biting his handkerchief angrily backstage.

“Asshole, asshole!

You're just a skeleton, why are you more popular than me!

I am not satisfied!

! ”

"You can't be dissatisfied, but there's nothing I can do. We have the same resources, but Brook's fan base is increasing much faster than yours. It's a pity that he has no plans to renew the contract, otherwise he might not need you."

Uta was making preparations backstage while responding to Cavendish's questions.

Brooke's fan base is increasing much faster than Cavendish's, but she is still far behind Uta. This is an innate difference due to gender.

With her dreamy singing voice, infectious sound and good looks, Uta is now the biggest traffic code.

Before Cavendish could say anything, Uta grabbed Heracross' arm and flew to the stage. What reached Cavendish's ears was another thunderous cheer.

When it was Cavendish's turn, the cheers were much smaller, but he still felt very popular. However, unlike Uta and Brooke, Cavendish was welcomed with more than just cheers.

Brook's unique skeleton character and Uta's cute appearance have always been popular with both men and women, with the exception of Cavendish.

While he became a star loved by female fans, he also became a public enemy among men.

This is related to Cavendish's overly cocky personality. He is not a comedian, so such a "handsome guy" character naturally caused dissatisfaction among the male companions of many female fans.

After all, the reason why Cavendish was exiled by the country was because he was too gorgeous and attracted too much attention from women, causing young women across the country to be unwilling to get married.

Even if he is a prince of a country, such behavior that causes a sharp drop in the kingdom's fertility rate and endangers the country's future is not allowed.

However, this group of Cavendish's fans also brings the most revenue, and Cavendish-related peripherals are sold out instantly every time they are put on sale.

Even though these people are fewer in number, they can compete with Uta's fan group, and these people spend much more than others on chasing stars.

Moreover, the purpose of this concert was very simple: to promote lottery tickets.

After working overtime continuously, Quinn had completed the production of the lottery tickets, and after Asier provided sufficient materials, he began mass production.

When the concert started, the lottery tickets had already been shipped to all parts of the world through freight channels. Thanks to the reputation that Hundred Beasts Fruit had built up over the past decades and the star effect of this group of top stars, as well as Morgans' publicity, it quickly became well-known.

The value of the gold ticket was set at 500 million Baileys, and the second prize red ticket was 100 million Baileys.

The mere exposure of the prize amount has aroused the interest of many people.

Subsequently, the agents arranged by Tezulo began to take action in various parts of the world.

[Gulan Tezuolo and more than 20 merchants jointly bought lottery tickets and shared 500 million Baileys after winning the first prize. ]

[An employee of the Seven Waters Shipbuilding Company won the first prize and has resigned. He is planning to travel around the world by ship. ]

[A resident of New Fishman Island became rich overnight....]

Several golden ticket winners were revealed one after another, and some were even interviewed, but those who were interviewed by Morgans chose to keep their faces covered.

The low price plus the occasional appearance of other prizes caused a lottery craze for a while. Even some specially issued peripheral lottery tickets were sold out. As soon as they were released, they were bought up in batches. These were the results of those fanatical fans.

Money can make people excited. Under the influence of huge profits, some people have started to have evil thoughts.

Forging and claiming prizes, selling fake lottery tickets, pretending to have won the prize but not having time to claim it, so selling the tickets at a discount to passers-by.

In just half a month, all kinds of scams appeared in the hands of various scammers.

The matter of the golden prize tickets has become the new focus of Baishou's work. A real golden prize ticket means that it is related to the slate and must be taken seriously. A fake golden prize ticket means that someone is taking advantage of Baishou's company and will naturally bring revenge...

Chapter 1109: Egghead and the Whereabouts of the Slate

This is a very distorted world. Laws exist, but there are countless people who can break the constraints of the law by personal force.

Transnational fraud is inherently difficult to deal with, but in this vast ocean, once the tail is caught, the big powers have plenty of ways to deal with the matter.

Just like impersonating other pirate groups, everyone knows the risks of this kind of thing, but in the face of huge benefits, there are always people who risk their lives to try it.

In the first half of the Grand Line, at Kekeri Island, according to feedback from the Beast Fruit, several scams have occurred in succession near this island.

They are a legal enterprise and they would not act rashly in such matters, so they naturally arranged another group of people to handle it.

"Lord Peggy Wan, there is no need for you to come here in person for such a small matter, right?"

"What nonsense! Impersonating us is no small matter. The problems in this area are almost as serious as those in other places combined. It's not a good habit to try to fleece a single sheep.

Besides, what if there is some troublesome guy behind him? "

Page One's reasons were very sufficient, but the real reason was that the sea was becoming increasingly turbulent nowadays, and the cadres of the Beasts were rather short-staffed. It would be fine to send one person with a single-digit number to the mission in the first half of the Grand Line, but they would never let two people go at the same time.

This means that during the mission, Peggy Wan can reasonably avoid his sister's torture. He hopes that the mission here can be delayed a little longer, but the facts always disappoint him. In less than a day, the source was found.

"Lord Peggy Wan, we have confirmed that the source of the fake lottery tickets is here. That guy is Dimar Black, the "Three Tongues". The bounty is 2600 million Baileys."

"You are really brave..."

Looking at the information in his hands, Page One admired the courage of these newcomers. If they could win the 2600 million bounty with their own strength, they could still be an ordinary soldier in the new world.

But those who got to the top through deception are not even cannon fodder in the new world, and yet these people are all incredibly courageous.

Page One couldn't waste too much time on this kind of pirate, otherwise it would give Ulti an excuse to pester him, so he had no interest in showing up at all. He directly launched an earthquake and a dragon star swarm from a long distance, turning Black's base into ruins.

......

Where there is fake, there is real. Excluding the scammers who arranged the fraud and the forgers, after a period of fermentation, the lottery tickets also played their role.

In the New World, Egghead Island - Egghead, cheers of surprise came from the island.

“I won the lottery! First prize!

"

A man dressed in a slightly sci-fi style rubbed his eyes excitedly. The dazzling gold color said it all.

This is the location of Vegapunk's new research institute after Punk Hazard was scrapped due to an explosion. It is an island of technology and the future that claims to be 500 years ahead of the world.

The population on the island is not large, and most of them are employees arranged by the World Government to assist Vegapunk. They are responsible for transporting materials, maintaining the island's logistics, and acting as assistants in some scientific research.

Although many places have been replaced by robots, there are still a certain number of manpower left. At this time, the World Government has not yet come up with the idea of ​​​​wiping out Vegapunk, and the relationship between the two sides is still relatively close.

The quality of life in Egghead is very high. There are machines for automatic cooking. As long as the ingredients are in place, 500 dishes can be made within one minute. The chefs on the island do not need any cooking skills at all. They only need to be responsible for feeding the ingredients into the machines.

The disadvantage is that there are not enough technical personnel. Only Vegapunk and his clones can make this machine, and it cannot be mass-produced.

There are also holographic projectors of various styles used to change the appearance of the island, bringing different life experiences to residents, and automatic changing machines with various styles of clothing.

But this is just a workplace. Vegapunk does not accept any employee's family to settle here, and salary is indispensable to them.

500 million Baileys is not a small amount of money. For them, it means direct financial freedom.

"You are so lucky that you actually won the first prize."

“Hehe, I bought it when I was on vacation last time. I kept it in my pocket and forgot to scratch it off. I wish I had scratched it off earlier…”

"Stop talking nonsense, and quickly ask for leave to redeem the prize. It's only valid for one month."

"Take a leave? I'll just quit! With so much money, who would still work here?"

The next day, the man left Egghead and found the nearest prize redemption office.

"Name."

"Ter."

"Work, where to buy lottery tickets."

“Do you need this kind of information to redeem your prize?”

"Of course, we need to verify the information and indicate the source of your funds. You don't want to be taken away for investigation on the grounds that your huge assets are from unknown sources."

"That's right... I used to be a researcher at Egghead, and I bought the ticket on a merchant ship passing by Egghead."

"I see. Got it..."

The prize redemption staff quickly filled in the information and sent it to Taizoro via the Rotom phone. There was something similar to an eye on his Rotom phone, and it could be seen that it was the original Rotom phone.

This is enough to prove that he himself is a member of the Hundred Beasts.

"Just wait a few more days, and I'll give you the 300 million Bailey bonus right away."

"Wait, isn't that 500 million Baileys?"

"The World Government wants to collect 200 million in taxes. We can't do anything about it. By the way, routine question, do you want to donate?"

"No...."

His bonus was reduced by nearly half, which made him scratch his head in embarrassment. It seemed that he had resigned a little too early.

The prize redemption process had just begun, but news of the appearance of the real golden ticket was delivered to Arceus within an hour.

"Master Holy Beast, according to reliable information, the test paper made by Asie has reacted. There is a high probability that your things are in Aighede."

Sha Yinna looked through the information in her hand, summarized it and reported the news to Arceus.

"Eigerhead...Shayna, you and Zeraora, please go there and make sure. If the item is there, bring it back.

Bring Kuzan with you on this operation. He's been here for a month or two and hasn't done anything. If there's any battle, let him deal with it. Your and Zeraora's priority target is the stone slab.

If you are sure it is a slate, you can contact me directly."

Zeraora and Shayna are the two fastest among the big cadres. With their own strength and flying ability, no one can stop them.

At the same time, this is also a test for Kuzan, to see what choice he will make in the face of this situation, and thus decide on his future arrangements. Otherwise, it would be the most prudent idea for Arceus to go on the trip himself.

"Yes, I will take care of everything. Please rest assured."

Almost at the same time, on Egghead, Lilith had several lottery tickets glowing with golden light in her hand.

"Lilith, what are you daydreaming about?"

The man wearing a helmet with the number 01 on his head and a long hoodie with Vegapunk 01 printed on the side and the word "positive" printed on the back questioned Lilith who was standing beside him.

They are all incarnations of Vegapunk, but they have independent thinking habits, which makes their styles of doing things somewhat different.

Compared to Lilith No. 02, who represents evil, Shakyamuni No. 01, who represents integrity, is more serious.

"I originally wanted to try my luck and see if I could get some more research funding, but now, I have a new discovery."

Chapter 1110: The Ultimate Science Makes People Confused

Vegapunk is very short of money. Each of his research projects consumes a huge amount of funds. The fundamental purpose of joining the World Government is to obtain research funds.

Vegapunk himself thought so, and his clone naturally had the same idea.

The waters near Egghead have always been a restricted area. Any ships that approach the waters without approval will sink to the bottom. Even the lottery ticket purchased by the previous person was bought on a merchant ship specially approved by the World Government.

One of Lilith's daily tasks is to patrol the area around Egghead. If she finds a sunken pirate ship, she will take away their treasure and will also deal with the pirates on the ship depending on the situation.

Even if the pirate ship that entered here did not sink, Lilith might directly steal their treasures.

Shakya looked down on Lilith's behavior that lacked the dignity of a scientist, but when faced with the issue of funding, he could not convince Lilith at all.
