Chapter three hundred and seventy-six, Vega Punk's last words
Capital is ruthless and bloody.
When dealing with anyone or anything, we should only proceed from the perspective of interests.
Therefore, Vegapunk's speculation is correct. Once the pacifist appears, the Shichibukai system will be lifted, and there will be countless people who want to kill him!
If the development of science and technology cannot bring benefits to capital, but instead exploits their interests, then this kind of progress is not allowed.
Holy Land, Marie Joa.
Vegapunk residence.
"finish watching?"
Sitting on the chair, Vegapunk turned his head in surprise with a tea cup in hand: "Do you understand?"
"I read it but didn't understand it. The things inside are too complicated."
Rhine told the truth: "But I feel that I have grasped some key points and need more data to verify. The current design drawings, the hull structure and the firepower system always give me the illusion of an empty shell."
"I see, that's it."
Vegapunk nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Actually, it is just an empty shell. I really saw you right, Rhine. You must know that back then... forget it, tell me what you think."
Vegapunk did not finish speaking, but began to ask questions.
In response, Rhine slowly straightened his back and nodded seriously.
"yes!"
Just like a teacher asking questions in class, the two of them ask and answer questions one by one, allowing time to pass by unconsciously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Finally, a knock on the door interrupted the class.
Vegapunk slapped his forehead as if he had a sudden realization: "I almost forgot, I have to report the work progress to Mr. Wulaoxing today."
Glancing at the rising moonlight outside the window, Vegapunk said: "I have a few more design drawings here. Take them back and take a look at them."
Rhine, who was still tired after answering all afternoon, nodded when he heard this, took the scrolls, and respectfully replied: "Okay, teacher."
Bega Punk paused, waved his hand, and motioned for him to leave.
After opening the door, Xiao's eyes paused for three seconds on Rhine who walked out of the room, and then he heard Vegapunk's voice.
"I'm sorry, Master Xiao, has Master Wulaoxing rested?"
He withdrew his gaze, looked at the man in front of him, and replied in a calm tone: "I have rested, but Mr. Wulaoxing expressed his understanding. Outsiders only see Mr. Bega Punk's talent, but they cannot see the hard work and effort behind you."
diligent."
"Thank you very much, please come in."
Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief and invited Xiao into the room.
His eyes scanned the scattered documents on the table, and Xiao Xiao, who found nothing unusual, said, "In addition, Mr. Wulaoxing asked me to tell you that if there are no special circumstances, please try not to leave the experiment during this period.
room."
Click...
The glass was knocked to the ground. Looking at the burn marks on his fingers, Bega Punk was silent for a moment and put down the kettle: "Have you got any clues yet?"
"Yes."
The owl nodded: "Many strangers have come to the Chambord Islands recently, and the number of businessmen requesting to travel to and from the New World through the Holy Land has also increased by 10% within a week. You know, CP0 is currently severely understaffed, and there are so many people and complicated eyes.
We cannot guarantee your personal safety."
Vegapunk nodded in understanding.
cp0, the existence of the establishment is already the result of all the hard work of the man in front of me, not to mention the manpower.
Then he let out a long sigh.
"I underestimated them, they reacted really quickly."
Xiao Xiao did not answer this question.
After all, if we look into it carefully, why did the enemy react so quickly?
It’s not because there are people in the government who have connections there until now!
It was the leakage of their internal intelligence that led to the threat to Vegapunk.
After a big battle, both sides ceased their activities and needed time to sort out their territory and various issues, so they maintained restraint on the surface. No one wanted to lose the battle at this juncture and give others an advantage in vain.
But when it comes to such a huge amount of money, even the five old stars are helpless.
I believe the Black Earl is the same at this moment.
but……
Fortunately, those people did not completely lose their minds. If they were just assassinating people instead of fighting head-on, Wulaoxing would be happy to see this result.
"By the way..."
Vegapunk suddenly asked: "How much profit can the smuggling business of the Golden Emperor and 'Blue Ghost' Dongli make in a year?"
Xiao wanted to say he didn't know, but for some reason, he answered the question honestly: "What we know is that there is at least 400 billion beli in net profit a year. Dongli and the nobles take the small part, and the Golden Emperor takes the big part.
And this does not include the amount of money earned by Black Earl's shipping industry and Kaido's arms industry relying on this line. Otherwise, according to the worst-case scenario, it can generate profits of at least one trillion yuan per year."
"one trillion……"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Vegapunk was also shocked by this exaggerated number.
This is not a commercially developed earth, but a chaotic sea!
The profits generated in just one industrial chain exceed one trillion. Looking at this figure, only a few large countries can compare their annual income.
With a wry smile, Vegapunk said: "The heavenly gold that Tianlong people get from more than 100 franchised countries every year seems to be less than this number, right?"
The owl stopped talking again.
Does he want to admit that it is even just a fraction?
The poor in many participating countries are only ordinary families. The nobles and royal families often occupy more than 70% of the society's wealth, but even so, they are reluctant to continue to squeeze the blood and sweat from the poor people to meet the annual heavenly gold.
Then they used these poor people to make a fuss, so that the Five Old Stars' repeated proposals to increase the gold in the sky were not passed.
This gives an excuse for corruption among government officials.
This gave the Golden Emperor the opportunity to use money to clear the way to contact the upper levels of the government.
The world government is rich, but its business is huge. The navy's annual military expenditure is a huge sum of money. If the rest is spread equally among everyone, who can have enough to eat?
Especially when you see that other people have less rights than you but are better off than you are.
Of course, if the Golden Emperor hadn't consolidated so much wealth and attracted jealousy, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother, would have been able to get by if the wealth was dispersed.
But there are no ifs in everything.
The Golden Emperor is coming.
Take your own golden empire and shake the world.
And now that they want to touch this big cake, counterattack is bound to come.
To sum it up:
It's all Doflamingo's fault!
The source of evil deserves its name.
"Ah Qiu!!"
In the rebuilt King's Highland Palace, Doflamingo rubbed his nose and cursed: "Who did I provoke again?!"
Return to the Holy Land.
After a long silence, Vegapunk said: "I have left the ideas of px-4, px-5 and px-6. Among them, the design drawing of px-4 can be used with confidence. The remaining two generations can be upgraded. If I
If you encounter unexpected events, you will need to work hard to improve yourself."
"They... won't stand a chance!"
"Really? Then I'll believe you."
Smiling and shaking his head, Vegapunk rummaged through the boxes under the table for a while, and finally found a rolled-up blueprint: "By the way, I almost forgot about this."
"This is a mechanical arm that I improved based on the crusher I installed for Mr. Zefa. Please help me bring it to Marshal Akainu. I would like to thank the Navy for taking care of me over the years."
"this……"
Unexpectedly, Vegapunk had such last words. Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment and said: "I'm afraid there's no need."
Vegapunk's pupils shrank.
"Isn't it possible!!"
"No, it's not..."
Realizing that what he said could easily be misunderstood, Xiao Xiao paused and explained: "Forget it, since you have the authority to know about this, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
"General Aokiji woke up two days ago, but he heard somewhere about the proposal to abolish the Shichibukai system and firmly opposed it. Because of this, he and Akainu had a heated argument in the ward yesterday."
"He said Akainu will definitely regret it. The Shichibukai cannot be abolished, otherwise he will leave the navy."
"Now neither side can argue with the other and keep the cold war... In this case, especially you, I think it's best not to make unnecessary moves."
