Li Yan talked with Hancock for almost an hour, and finally got the secret of the abnormal awakening rate of armed colors on Nine Snake Island.

According to Hancock, there is a fruit called snake heart fruit on Nine Snake Island. Although this fruit is not very delicious, it has a very special effect.

That is...

Within a week after eating the snake heart nut, there is a high probability that the weapon color will be awakened.

And this probability...

According to the experience of Nine Snake Island, it is about 70%.

Of course, this is just awakening and does not have the effect of strengthening the weapon color.

Therefore, although most people on Nine Snakes Island know how to use Armed Colors, there are not many people who can actually practice Armed Colors to an intermediate level.

But even so, there is still a dimensional difference between those who know how to arm themselves and those who don't.

If 70% of the people in the East China Sea Navy awaken their armed colors...

Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of grassroots combat power, it can definitely crush any force.

The only problem is that the output of snake heart fruits is not high. The entire Nine Snakes Island can only pick more than a thousand, or at most two thousand, fruits every year.

But the good news is that snake nuts are very special. Even if they are picked, as long as they are stored properly, they will not go bad even if they are stored for decades.

Therefore, although the annual output is not high, those that are not used every year are still stored. According to Hancock, the number is about 7,000.

This is totally OK.

After all, the total number of people in the eighteen branches now totals more than 4,000.

As for the other branches in Donghai, there is no need for the time being.

Finally, Hancock made an additional request. As long as Li Yan agreed, all of the more than 7,000 snake nuts would be given to Li Yan, and at least 500 of them would be provided to the East China Sea Navy every year in the future.

As for this requirement...

Hancock only named one family.

There was no need for her to speak too clearly, Li Yan already understood.

"Don't worry, I will leave that family alive and let you handle it yourself!"

This is the promise Li Yan gave Hancock.

Simple, crude, but very effective for Hancock.

After all matters were discussed, Li Yan removed the seastone bracelet on Hancock's right hand.

At this moment, the phone bug on Li Yan suddenly rang.

BLU BLU BRU...

"Hello, I'm Li Yan."

Without avoiding Hancock, Li Yan directly picked up the phone and said.

"Li Yan, you bastard, I asked you to enter the Grand Line to suppress the pirates. Who told you to attack Hancock?"

"Are you addicted to Zai Shichibu Kaizai?"

"Do you know that people from Nine Snakes Island just sent a complaint to Wulaoxing through the special line, and then I was scolded for a whole half an hour for no reason?"

"Honestly, is Hancock still alive?"

As soon as the call was connected, Warring States roared for a long time.

It looks like I'm in a very bad mood...

"Marshal, Hancock is still alive."

"Oh, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"

Hearing Li Yan's answer, Warring States breathed a sigh of relief.

Hancock, who was listening to the conversation between the two, had an extremely strange expression.

"Wait a minute, you didn't do anything to Hancock, right? According to Wulaoxing, the people on Nine Snake Island are worried that you will do something excessive to Hancock."

"I said Marshal, Hancock is right next to me. Isn't it a bad idea for you to directly ask this question?"

"Well..."

Suddenly, Warring States was stunned.

Hancock is next to you, so you should say it earlier!

"Ahem, since there's nothing wrong, please let me go quickly!"

"Marshal, if you don't make this call, I will release him, okay?"

"Are you going to be that good?"

Warring States expressed deep doubts about Li Yan's words.

If the Shichibukai falls into this guy's hands, can he still put it back intact?

This is obviously not like Li Yan.

"I said, of the four I killed, which one doesn't deserve to die?"

"As for Hancock...she has a bad character. After I captured her and educated her, I naturally released her. Is it possible that she will be taken back to be the wife of the village?"

Li Yan said angrily.

Hancock on the side looked a little unnatural after hearing this.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Okay, okay, you should go back quickly, otherwise I'm afraid that if time goes by, your two sisters may even take the matter to Morgans to save you, and then it won't be clear."

"Ah... Sandathonia and Marigold wouldn't do that, right?"

"It's hard to say. If they find that it's useless to find the Five Old Stars, they might think of using this method to put pressure on Mary Joa!"

"No, I have to go back immediately!"

Hearing what Li Yan said, Hancock became a little anxious, opened the hatch and ran out.

You know, if Sunda Sonia and Marigold really brought this matter to Morgans, then not only would Li Yan be unable to clean himself up, but he himself would also be unable to clean up.

Guess what the headlines will be tomorrow?

The pirate empress was knocked unconscious by General Donghai and then carried away directly?

You also want to show off, okay?

On the other end of the phone, listening to the conversation between Li Yan and Hancock, Warring States was also a little confused.

This doesn't feel like there is any grudge at all, does it?

"Marshal, you see, your worries are unnecessary!"

"You kid... well, I won't talk about it anymore, but you should go faster and don't cause any other trouble on the road."

"Huh? The situation on the Grand Line is very bad now?"

Hearing the urgency in Warring States' words, Li Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, in the past three days, the navy has received seventeen serious robberies, and even three village massacres!"

"Tu Cun... Which three pirate groups are they? I'll deal with them. Violet can't escape from them!"

"Well, that's what I mean too. They are..."

------

A few days later.

The first half of the Grand Line, Paradise.

Walters Island.

This is a very small island with only one village and a population of less than a hundred people.

But at this moment, all the villagers, numbering less than a hundred, had fallen into a pool of blood.

In this hell-like scene, dozens of pirates were having a banquet.

"Boss, although it's great to kill a village, there really isn't much money in this kind of village. After working hard for a long time, one million beli is not enough for the brothers!"

"That's right, boss. The most important thing is that there isn't even a slightly pretty woman. It's so boring!"

...

Several pirates were drinking and complaining to their captain.

This is the Lardner Pirates who have just entered the Great Sea and Land from the Western Sea less than two months ago.

Captain Ladner has a bounty of 197 million Baileys, and Vice Captain Al has a bounty of 127 million Baileys.

The main reason why the bounty for pirates who have just entered the Grand Line for two months is so high is that this is the fourth time that the Lardner Pirates have massacred villages since the beginning of the West Sea.

"You don't understand that the biggest benefit of Tucun is not wealth, but reputation!"

"Every time we massacre a village, the bounty will increase a lot. After this time, my bounty will probably exceed 200 million!"

"In this way, when I arrive at the Chambord Islands, I can recruit a large number of capable subordinates immediately with a wave of my arms!"

Lardner poured all the wine in the glass into his mouth, and then said...
Chapter completed!
