Chapter one hundred and ninety-six, the dispute between the four emperors, affecting the pool fish
New world, unknown east island, Beast Pirates' military factory somewhere.
"Kai...Lord Kaido..."
In a wooden hut on the edge of the port, Edwin, the owner of the New Sivir Shipping Company, took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead. The skirt of his expensive handmade dress was quickly covered with dirt. He, who has always been a germophobe, was at this moment.
Don't worry about it.
Looking at the huge figure in front of him with trepidation, black hair shawl, and muscles like steel, Edwin whispered.
"Look at this price..."
"Um?"
Looking over with a domineering and fierce gaze, the Four Emperors and "Hundred Beasts" Kaido breathed out from his nostrils: "What's wrong with the price?"
Compared with him who is so burly and unbelievable, Edwin is not even as good as a chicken.
But he still gritted his teeth and finished the second half of the sentence: "Isn't it against the rules?"
"rule?!"
Hearing this, Kaido glared fiercely: "You have the nerve to talk to me about the rules?"
"I remember that you and I signed a new contract a few years ago, and the transportation fee was only half. Several years have passed, and you are the one who has not fulfilled the contract, right?"
"This is your rule?"
After saying that, he waved his hand and a member of the Beasts Pirates who was dressed like a Viking took out a yellowed document and placed it on the table.
It clearly states on it that the transportation fee for the weapons and weapons shipped from the Beast Pirates Military Factory to Dressrosa has been reduced from 1 million Baileys per box to 500,000 Baileys, effective immediately.
The time is June 1, 1515 in the Haiyuan Calendar. In addition to "Hundred Beasts" Kaido, there is also the boss behind the New Sivir Shipping Company, "King of Shipping" Umit.
This is indeed what happened!
Edwin felt bitter inside.
He still remembered that day a few years ago. He was also present at that time. Faced with the domineering and unreasonable beasts, the strongest creatures in the sea, land and air, Wumit used a delaying strategy and signed a price reduction agreement with him.
Then, there is no more.
The most important rules in the dark world!
Because everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, one is prosperous and the other is destitute.
As the big boss in the transportation industry, Umit may not be very good at fighting, but he has a lot of interests involved.
Kaido's barbaric act caused an uproar in the dark world at that time. Everyone knew that if Kaido succeeded, those hyenas who saw the benefits would definitely follow suit and dig a piece of meat from Umit.
Although there are benefits, the negative effects are uniquely serious in the entire dark world!
So, Big Mom, who was a part of the group, stood up to support Umit, and the two sides fought for a whole day and night on an island in the New World, with no outcome, and the matter was settled.
Now that the Black Earl has taken over Umit's transportation industry, the two underworld giants Golden Emperor and Stusi have jointly stated that the interest network also exists, but...
But big·mom is missing!
She has a grudge against the Black Earl and is absolutely willing to give up some of her interests and sit back and watch the Black Earl vomit blood.
After all, strength is the most important thing in the sea. The dark world has been pretending to be an ostrich. Those people only want to be immersed in eternal wealth. Even Lovett could not wake them up this time.
But now, Kaido suddenly got angry.
Edwin sadly discovered that they could not find a way to fight against it.
But this is a matter of principle!
Edwin knew he couldn't back down.
Otherwise, even if he survives now, not to mention the evil mage Black Earl who is feared by the world, other people in the profit network will kill his whole family!
So he gritted his teeth and tried his best to put on an ugly smile: "Yes, yes, Lord Kaido is right."
"But I can't decide on this price. Do you think you should go back later and ask our boss for his opinion?"
Leaving the problem to your boss can have serious consequences.
But if you don’t take responsibility, you don’t take responsibility. I have to survive!
"Humph, you can't even make the decision!"
Hearing this, Kaido said disdainfully.
Edwin had a smile on his face and was extremely flattering.
"Then let's calculate the new price for this batch of goods. Don't say I won't give you a chance."
Ding!
Edwin's heart thumped and he broke into a cold sweat.
"this……"
Seeing his hesitation, Kaido slowly narrowed his eyes: "Boy, you don't want to tell me that you can't make the decision on such a small thing, do you?"
Yes, but it will also kill the whole family!
"I think you're kidding me, you bastard!"
Without an answer, Kaido stood up angrily and threw his fist at Edwin.
Compared with Kaido, Edwin is not taller than his thighs, so there is no option to hit him in the face.
Bang!!
A figure smashed into the wooden hut, flew out like a cannonball, and finally hit the wall of the cabin of the transport ship docked at the port, sending sawdust flying.
The pirates and crew members who were carrying arms onto the ship stopped their movements one after another, staring dumbfounded at the inhuman form of the boss of New Sivir Shipping Company, Edwin, embedded in the wall.
"Since you can't make the decision, then ask the Black Earl to come see me!"
The sound was deafening, and the hot and explosive overlord-colored domineering energy shocked the ocean and sky.
The wind was howling and the waves were rolling. Kaido, who was like an ancient demon, stood in the center of the collapsed wooden house, and his words were conveyed to the depths of the ocean.
…
Grand Line, Questra.
In the deep seabed, Leviathan was bored and fell into a deep sleep. In a place invisible to mortals, silvery white rays of light penetrated from the sky into the ocean, hanging down like fire trees and silver flowers, and the cabin on his back... To be precise, they were the same as those in the cabin.
People connect.
After the Great Purge, there are no ordinary people left in Questra. Otherwise, if fishermen go out to sea, they will find that the nearby sea is like a dead sea. Not to mention the sea animals and fish, not even the most tenacious plants can be seen at this moment.
The inaudible aura of the necromantic realm continued to spread around the Leviathan, coating the coral reefs that had accumulated over millions of years with a layer of gray.
The quiet seabed was filled with such gray and dead silence at this time. A clownfish with bulging eyes fell on the surface of the white sand, white ash continuously spilled from its body, and it hovered in the current.
Death together!
Due to the effect of this rune language engraved on him, the breath of the dead that Lovett now attracts will evolve into the deadly breath of death under the effect of the rules, so that he has to restrain the effects of his spells to prevent him from accidentally destroying him.
Leviathan kills.
Now that he is in a state of cultivation, apart from ensuring that the breath of death bypasses Leviathan, other aspects are beyond his control.
That's why he chose the place of Questla for retreat. One reason is that the soul net is covering it, and the other reason is that he doesn't dare to cause mass extinction of species in Shampoo.
Time seems to have stopped at the bottom of the sea, and everything on the land without sunlight is still and unchanged. Only the occasional marine life that passes by and then dies can bring a bit of life to this place.
Suddenly, in the hall where will-o'-the-wisps flickered, Lovett suddenly opened his eyes on the Bone Throne.
The aura of the necromantic world boiled like a slow fire, and the visible ripples of ocean currents surged in all directions with Leviathan as the center, turning everything into gray.
"Chirp?"
In the cabin, a skeletal face appeared in front of Lovett. Leviathan looked at the owner in confusion, wondering why he suddenly woke up.
Thumping!
The red-eyed raven that had been standing on the crossbar at the door flapped its wings and flew to Lovett's fingertips. It looked at Lovett with its ruby eyes and conveyed the message.
Soon, Lovett's eyes regained clarity.
“It’s really non-stop all day long.”
The three black knights are sitting in the center of the black city to help him manage his industry. They will not come back until they use parasitic sarcoma to create enough trustworthy subordinates. Therefore, after receiving the news, Aka, the leader of the black knights, can only use the red-eyed raven.
Send messages to prevent disturbing the master's practice.
Among Lovett's current summoned creatures and modified creatures, the red-eyed raven has the closest connection with him. It can almost be regarded as a clone with two memories and souls, closely connected with his soul.
After learning what happened in the new world, Lovett looked calm.
He expected what Kaido might do, because his sixth sense told him that a vague threat always shrouded him.
Big Mom is restricted by the Death Contract and cannot take action against him, so the biggest suspect is only the other person Stussy warned him about, "Hundred Beasts" Kaido!
But he didn't expect that after sending three black knights to integrate the industry, the trouble would not be bypassed after all.
and……
"What is this, using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the official pirate version of this dynasty?"
The person who signed the contract with him was Umit, and the one who never fulfilled the contract was also Umit.
The current owner of this land is the Black Earl. If Kaido intends to maintain friendly cooperation, not only should the previous agreement be invalidated, but he should also send someone to renegotiate with him.
But Kaido didn't do that, and Edwin was seriously injured, with all his muscles and bones broken.
Such a violent method, a cold light flashed in Lovett's eyes.
"You want to use me to establish your power!"
It’s no longer important what the cause was. What’s important is that Kaido was stopped by Big Mom back then, and Kaido couldn’t swallow this feeling.
If the Four Emperors don't have a good face, then no one will have a good face.
Now that he sees an opportunity, Kaido brings up the old story again. There is no doubt that he wants to tell Big Mom that you can stop me for a while, but you can't stop me for the rest of my life!
So strictly speaking, this is Kaido trying to get back to where he used to be by sarcastically taunting Big Mom, and he is just being affected.
but……
BLU BRU BRU... BRU BRU BRU...
At this time, the phone rang.
Watching the contact phone number given to him by the Qibukai Queen CP0 open his eyes, Lovett was stunned for a second and picked up the receiver.
