The moment Blueno touched the black coin, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
Then a huge black fist appeared in front of him, and a sniper gun rang out on the other side. There was even a colorless and odorless virus in the air that entered his body.
'seastone! !'
Blueno's pupils shrunk suddenly, and while losing strength, the door fruit ability on his body was no longer able to be used. He could only watch as Basire's armed-colored fist hit his face.
boom~!
He felt a heavy blow to his face, and a violent pain and dizziness came right after, letting him know that he was about to lose consciousness.
His eyes turned white, blood splattered from his mouth and nose, and the black coin in his hand was thrown away, but he still felt too weak and was unable to use the Gate Fruit ability.
Because the sniper's bullet had already entered his shoulder. It did not penetrate through, but was cleverly stuck on the shoulder blade.
The damn thing was actually seastone as well! !
Even if he wanted to resist, he had no power to resist.
At the moment when he lost consciousness and fainted, Blueno still couldn't figure out why these pirates dealt with him so carefully.
The successive attacks left him unable to react, let alone resist and escape.
Has his identity as a spy been exposed?
Even his Devil Fruit ability was known to the other party. Which bastard leaked his information?
The seastone of this group of pirates was obviously to stop him from using his devil fruit power.
The most important thing is, why did Big Daddy Basire throw the seastone coin without any trouble, but when he touched it, he became powerless.
He also saw that Basire, a barrier fruit user, was fine and didn't notice anything strange, so he subconsciously caught the ordinary-looking black coin.
But he never expected that he would be plotted against.
Boom~!
Blueno was thrown into the wine cabinet causing the bottles to shatter and the wine splash everywhere.
Burgess immediately took out a pair of seastone handcuffs, rushed over, and with three strokes, he had already handcuffed the horned bartender and dragged him out of the ruined wine rack.
Seeing the black bruise on Blueno's face, it seemed that Captain Basire's punch was merciless and so fierce that the guy fainted instantly.
"What a waste!"
Zoro immediately jumped into the bartender's counter. Seeing the wine scattered around, he quickly rescued the remaining bottles of wine. He even stretched his neck to take a sip of the flowing wine, looking like a complete alcoholic.
Eldoraggo and Bear King also started to get drinks directly, or go into the kitchen to get some food to eat, demonstrating what normal pirate operations are like.
The thieving cat Nami was also going through the cashier box at the counter, refusing to let go of any beris.
The crew also began to rest on the spot. Under the leadership of Captain Basire, today was another day of relaxation.
Petal hands appeared one after another, connected, and held up a small wooden board in front of Basire. On it was the black seastone coin he had thrown at the start.
Nico Robin's flower hands couldn't directly touch the seastone, otherwise her body will also be affected.
Basire gave Robin a look of understanding appreciation, and then directly picked up the seastone coin, which seemed to have no impact on him at all.
This seastone coin now only prevents Basire from using the barrier fruit's ability, but his strength is not weakened by much.
This is just a relatively low-purity seastone coin.
However, this can also allow untrained devil fruit users to be attacked in an instant, rendering them unable to resist.
Basire knew that even if someone had awakened their devil fruit, they still couldn't withstand the seastone's power.
On Egghead Island, Rob Lucci, who had awakened the Leopard Fruit, was tricked by Stussy's high-purity seastone lipstick. And with just a light touch, he was easily taken down by her.
Even though Rob Lucci already had the strength to exchange attacks with the sun god Nika a few times, he still had no power to resist.
So, seastone is really a good thing!
Now the Big Daddy Pirates are continuously buying seastones from the underground intermediary emperor Doflamingo, and they seem to have no shortage of money.
Moreover, he threatened and negotiated prices unscrupulously, squeezing Doflamingo's profits, and Doflamingo was so angry that he dared not speak out, because he knows that the control is now in Basire's hands.
However, the Big Daddy Pirates also released some shape memory metals and rejuvenation potions to make deals with him to make up for his lost profits.
This is to prevent Doflamingo from going absolutely mad and do something drastic.
···
The crew of the Big Daddy Pirates were directly in this spy bar supported by the World Government, eating, drinking and grabbing anything they fancied, doing what pirates should do.
Besides, they are still the crew of a Shichibukai and can legally plunder.
If they don't rob all the shipyards in Water Seven, they are already giving the Naval Headquarters a lot of respect.
However, Basire didn't know if there is any inventory of Adam wood in the shipyard of Water Seven.
If there is any, they have to grab it all.
…
Not long after, the mayor of the island, Iceburg, rushed into the bar with his shipwrights, panting slightly.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Shichibukai did not go on a killing spree but only robbed the tavern.
You must know that Big Daddy Basire is famous for his cruelty. He often kills pirates, leaving rivers of blood and corpses everywhere he goes.
When Rob Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa saw the captured Blueno, the expressions on their faces became very serious.
Blueno, who has the power of the Gate Fruit, couldn't escape from them?
They need to recalculate what consequences there will be if they try to attack Basire and snatch Franky.
"Lord Basire, please be noble and don't harm the citizens of Water Seven or destroy this town."
"Whatever you need, whether it's beris or supplies, we'll find a way to get it for you right away."
Iceburg ran to Basire without fear of life and death and said humbly, his eyes still scanning secretly, looking for Franky.
"There happens to be some demand. Hand over all the Adam Wood in the Capital of Water Seven!"
Basire picked up a bottle of wine and served himself a glass, then he began to look at Rob Lucci and the others behind Iceburg.
These CP9 spies are not easy to control at this time, unless they are framed, expelled, and hunted by Spandam, only then there might be a chance to recruit them.
"That's no problem, we will find a way to deliver all Adam wood's inventory to you as soon as possible."
"I just don't know if Lord Basire can release all the citizens, such as Blueno, the bartender and the pervert cyborg, Franky."
Iceburg asked cautiously. He mainly wanted to rescue the captured Franky and only casually mentioned Blueno as well to not raise suspicions.
Basire glanced around and shook the red wine glass in his hand.
"Go and prepare the Adam wood first!"
He did not agree to Iceburg's request. Instead, he calmly ordered the mayor. The aura on his body radiated, scaring Iceburg to take a few steps back.
"Right away!"
Iceburg gritted his teeth and said that in order to prevent these pirates from destroying the city, he could only compromise. He was wondering when those bastard Marines were going to come.
"That's right! Oh, and those guys under your command are pretty good, and they look like professionals with extremely solid foundations. Why don't they stay and practice a few moves with my crew?"
Basire chuckled lightly, then quickly threw three wine glasses, shooting them directly at Rob Lucci, Kaku and Kalifa.
The powerful wine glass made Kalifa frown and instantly disappear on the spot to hide. Kaku just tilted his neck quickly and successfully dodged, letting the wine glass fly past.
Only Rob Lucci popped the wine glass with a finger by using Shigan, causing glass shards to fly everywhere in front of him.
Even Iceburg looked at his secretary using such speed in shock, but he quickly reacted and forced himself to calm down.
He knew that someone from the World Government had taken action, which made him more wary again.
But now, Franky is still in the hands of the Shichibukai, and he doesn't know where he hid the Pluton design drawings.
At that time, he gave the design drawings to Cutty Flam for safekeeping and asked him to remain anonymous and not to appear in Water Seven again.
As a result, Cutty Flam changed his name to Franky and did not leave the island. He also became a cyborg. Continuing to protect the City of Water Seven that Teacher Tom wanted to build in his own way.
Rob Lucci and the other CP9 agents were already looking at Basire and Iceburg with expressionless faces. They knew that they had most likely been exposed and were no longer suitable to lurk around Iceburg, let alone continue to steal the secrets of Pluton's design.
Seeing the strength of these people, Zoro immediately stood up with great interest and looked at the two CP9 agents, Rob Lucci and Kaku.
Just by looking at them, he already knew that these were two very powerful opponents.
Burgess, Eldoraggo, Bear King, and Eric also stood up one after another, vaguely surrounding them.
"Hey! What do you mean by that?!"
Paulie, one of the top five shipbuilding foremen, immediately started shouting, while protecting Lucci and Kaku behind him.
Although Lucci and Kaku were only promoted to foreman positions in the past few years, their efforts and diligence were appreciated by the three veteran foremen.
"Paulie! Let's go, gather all the Adam wood and hand them over to Mr Basire!"
Seeing the cold expressions of Lucci and Kalifa, Iceburg felt a chill in his heart. They were indeed spies of the World government.
Unexpectedly, these guys have successfully lurked around him for several years, he was really too careless.
Fortunately, Pluton's blueprints were not with him, otherwise he would have exposed his flaws and it could have been snatched away by these World Government spies.
This was how Master Tom was driven to death step by step. Even though he had built a sea train and successfully benefited Water Seven and the Marine, he still could not escape the major crime of building a ship for Roger, the Pirate King, and was also suspected of secretly hiding Pluton's design drawings.
"President! This..."
Paulie looked at Iceburg in disbelief. This was not like the good mayor who loved the people and built the City for development, not to mention that Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa were also Galley-La's foremen and secretary.
The other two foremen, Tilestone and Peepley, also looked at their president with some doubts. This was not like the anxious look he had when they just arrived in a hurry.
Why did he become like this after just a few words with Basire?
"You guys are quite good at using the Marines Rokushiki, can you teach us?"
Basire chuckled and asked Lucci and the others, and the three real foremen of Galley-La Company finally understood the meaning and looked at Lucci and Kaku with wide eyes.
Are they Marines? Or World government spies?
Seeing Iceburg leaving in a hurry with an ugly expression, Paulie and the other two immediately followed their president.
These things are no longer something they can handle.
"Do you know who we are?"
Rob Lucci looked at Basire expressionlessly and asked, his eyes eager to fight. Although Big Daddy Basire's name is very famous, he still wanted to verify his strength in person.
Are the Shichibukai as powerful as they say?
It's not like he has never killed a big pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions.
Rob Lucci is known as the strongest CP9 member in eight hundred years. That's why he has such arrogance.
"Wiiihahaha~! Why do we need to know your identities? You are just our sparring partners!"
Burgess actually took action directly, waving his fist as big as a sandbag and sending a punch at Rob Lucci!
The seastone glove seemed to be wrapped with a vague black color.
The powerful momentum made Rob Lucci not dare to use "Tekkai" to resist.
However, being proud and arrogant, he chose to clench his fists, gather his strength, and answer the big man's punch with his own.
The moment when the two fists came into contact, Lucci's pupils shrank suddenly and he felt a sense of powerlessness. The CP9 genius with 4000 dorikis(strength measurement unit in One Piece) was actually blown away by the punch and smashed into the wall of the bar.
Even Kaku and Kalifa's eyes widened!
Are even the cadres of a Shichibukai that strong now?
He can actually send a strong CP agent like Lucci flying with a single punch!
Roar~!
A beast-like roar came from the debris. A trace of blood was flowing from the mouth of the half-animal Rob Lucci and his face was full of anger. This kind of injury was not much to him.
"It was seastone!"
Lucci's eyes flashed with murderous intent. This bastard actually hurt him with such a trick. This is simply unforgivable!
'Soru!'
'Shigan!'
The Leopard Man disappeared from the spot in an instant, and the next moment he appeared on the side of Burgess, his sharp finger intensively poking at his waist.
As long as he can avoid the seastone gloves with the speed of a leopard, this big pirate will be no match for him.
"Get out of here kitten!"
As Burgess' waist was punctured and released blood, he angrily swung his giant fist like a hammer at the leopard man, but Lucci easily dodged it.
At this time, several transparent wind blades shot straight towards Rob Lucci.
'Rankyaku!'
Kaku swung his leg, and an air blade appeared, destroying Eric's sneak attack wind blades.
"You can perform a flying slash with your feet?"
Zoro's eyes suddenly lit up, and he became even more interested when he saw that Kaku was carrying two swords.
He immediately drew out two of his swords and rushed forward. Kaku also instantly pulled out his swords and blocked Zoro's fierce slash.
"Three-swords style swordsman, pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro, unfortunately for you I'm a four-swords style swordsman!"
The two swords in Kaku's hands violently swung away Zoro's swords, then he did a backflip and swung two huge flying slashes with his legs, sending Zoro flying away.
The terrifying force blasted Zoro into the wall of the bar, immediately raising a large amount of dust.
The strength of these two shipwrights made Doc Q, Van Augur, and Lafitte who were watching the show immediately become serious.
If even Zoro can't beat them, then they probably can't either.
But soon, Zoro also rushed out from the dust without any injuries.
Moreover, his eyes were full of fighting spirit now, and he began excitedly attacking Kaku. The two of them immediately fell into a fierce battle, with the four swords constantly colliding, causing a lot of sparks to fly.
"Believe in Zoro, his third sword hasn't been drawn out yet."
Lafitte said softly, he knew how powerful this young swordsman was. No one among him, Doc Q, and Van Augur could beat the green-headed swordsman head on.
"It's better to help Burgess, he's going to be beaten at this pace."
Doc Q said in his sickly voice, the leopard man is obviously stronger than the long-nosed guy, but Burgess is too reckless and directly chooses to attack the stronger person without looking at how strong he is.
The secretary Kalifa was also being stared at by Nico Robin, Desire and Honey Queen. This is a battle between women.
Kaku and Kalifa, who have not yet gotten their Devil Fruit abilities, are a little weaker than expected.
Seeing Burgess being beaten up by Rob Lucci, other officers and crew members finally couldn't help it anymore.
Eldoraggo's sonic cannons and Eric's transparent wind blades constantly supported Burgess, distracting Lucci from killing him in one fell swoop.
At this time, the few remaining CP9 members of Enies Lobby had already taken the sea train and quickly headed to the Capital of Water Seven.
Even Sengoku in Naval Headquarters became angry when he heard that the Big Daddy Pirates were plundering Water Seven, and immediately sent out several Marines to 'persuade' Basire, the bastard that was abusing his power as Shichibukai!
As a member of the SWORD team, after learning the news, X Drake immediately felt that this was a good opportunity to quit the Marines.
He will take the initiative to attack the Shichibukai, then betray the Marine, then become a pirate, compete for the supernova position in the following year, and then find an opportunity to join one of the Yonkōs forces.
After a brief team exchange, they rushed to the Capital of Water Seven.
They want to ensure that after Drake attacks the Big Daddy Pirates, he can still leave safely until his new pirate group is formed.
In fact, Naval Headquarters, Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Sabaody Archipelago are all very close, and Enies Lobby and Water Seven are connected by sea trains, which shortens the distance between them.
It's just not known why the sea train isn't connected to Sabaody Archipelago, since it has already connected other important islands like Enies Lobby.
Even in the New World there are some sea trains. When Zephyr blew up an island in the New World, Aokiji saved many civilians who wanted to escape on sea trains.
On the other hand, Basire didn't know that there were already so many people rushing towards their location. He just watched quietly as Burgess was being beaten, and seemed to have no intention of taking action against Rob Lucci.
He discovered that Burgess, whether he was in the Blackbeard Pirates like in the original work or in his Big Daddy Pirates, had always been a character who got beaten.
Could it be that this guy was born with a constitution that attracted beatings?
In the battle between Zoro and Kaku, Zoro had already begun to suppress Kaku, the second strongest CP9 person, even before using his third sword.
Kaku, who has not eaten the giraffe fruit, just couldn't compare in strength to Zoro, a monster-like training madman.
Kalifa was also restricted by Robin and Honey Queen's Devil Fruit abilities, so that she couldn't even use soru and was brutally beaten by the fists of the gangster-like Desire.
These women didn't seem to have any sympathy for her.
Kalifa's clothes were torn a lot, and most of her black stockings were torn.
Basire just glanced at it casually, and then continued to watch the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates begin to gang up on Rob Lucci.
Eldoraggo, Eric, and Bear King all rushed forward to help Burgess.
But even in a four-to-one fight, they still failed to suppress Lucci, the ferocious leopard. Instead, due to poor coordination, they were almost injured by their companions abilities, which made Basire almost unable to stand it.
However, this is also his goal, which is to train his troops.
In the end, even Gin and Kuro rushed forward, and even Lafitte was sent by Basire.
Only the two long-range attackers, Van Augur and Doc Q, were left behind.
Under the siege of so many strong people, even if Rob Lucci is a once-in-800-years genius in the Cypher Pol, he is unable to defeat all of them and is forced to run around, looking for opportunities to counterattack in the siege.
But he still beat these cadres and crew members, all of them were red and slightly injured, which showed his great strength.
This is probably what real talent is.
Rob Lucci is a real genius, he can continue to break through and become stronger in desperate situations!
It's just that he lacks the aura of the protagonist.
"He lurked in the shipyard for five years, using a hammer to build ships every day. He wasted a lot of training time, but he still managed to awaken his Devil Fruit two years later."
Basire whispered, Rob Lucci's talent is not much worse than that of Straw Hat Luffy. The only one to blame is his own bad luck. He was trained by the World Government into a dark justice dog, and completely lost any chance of awakening Conqueror's Haki.
He also ate an ordinary Zoan Devil Fruit, making it impossible for him to catch up with Luffy for the rest of his life.
The world government knew that Rob Lucci had shown a talent that was rare in eight hundred years since he was a child, but still gave him an ordinary cat devil fruit and let him work as a shipwright. What a waste of talent.
Maybe even the Devil Fruit given to slaves by Celestial Dragons is stronger than the Devil Fruit organized by the Cypher Pol.
Is this because they are afraid that Lucci will become too strong and difficult to control?
Seeing that Rob Lucci was also beaten out of breath by many crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates, Basire also knew that it was almost over.
He did not even bother to open his mouth to recruit such CP spies who were severely brainwashed and possessed dark justice in their hearts.
Unless they will be persecuted and abandoned by the World Government, they will not betray it.
Just like the original CP9 genius, Who's-Who, after losing the Sun God Nika fruit, he was imprisoned and tortured. After successfully escaping from prison, he directly sought refuge with Kaido of the Beasts, seeking asylum and seeking revenge from the World Government at the same time.
Basire stood up and slowly walked towards the battlefield. The crew members and cadres of the Big Daddy Pirates also retreated sensibly, leaving this guy to the captain to defeat.
Rob Lucci's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he was breathing heavily. Unexpectedly, he was already exhausted by Basire's subordinates before even fighting against the Shichibukai!
Looking at the CP9 captain who is a master of the Marines' Rokushiki, Basire smiled. He remembered that the other CP9 members respected Rob Lucci a lot.
As long as he captures this guy, he can basically get the Rokushiki martial arts.
Even if Rob Lucci would rather die than surrender and refuses to hand over the training methods, the other CP9 members might not.
They can pay a lot to save Lucci's life.
"Your Seimei Kikan technique is quite good!"
Basire looked at Rob Lucci's powerful leopard-man form and was full of admiration. This technique can inject consciousness into the muscles, internal organs, and hair, change the cell arrangement of each body part, make the muscles tighter, and even change their shape.
In this form, defense, speed, and instinctive dodge will be greatly enhanced.
"I didn't expect that a Shichibukai would have to let his men consume the enemy's strength before he dared to take action. Don't you even have the guts to fight me fairly?"
Rob Lucci's half-leopard face had a stern expression as he spoke with disdain, and there seemed to be a hint of provocation in it.
The implicit meaning is: if you have the guts, let me go, and wait until I regain my strength to fight again.
"Have you ever seen the King come to fight from the very beginning? Or should we just let the Fleet Admiral and the Five Elders go out to fight the pirates?"
Basire didn't pay any attention to Lucci's words. He didn't regard him as an equal opponent at all now. This guy was just a sparring partner for his crew members.
"..."
'Rokushiki: Rokuogan!'
Rob Lucci's leopard legs turned into afterimages, flew over directly, and launched his most powerful attack against Basire.
Boom~!
Lucci's explosive fists hit a transparent barrier in front of Basire. The shock wave burst out with great force, and a huge shockwave broke out in an instant.
But the barrier shield in front of Basire was undamaged and motionless.
"The power of your move seems to be only comparable to the shockwave of a reject dial."
Basire chuckled and said, many pirates and marines have been practicing for most of their lives, but they can't compare with the attack power of a single shell.
Rob Lucci is a genius who not only has mastered the Rokushiki, but also has a power level of up to 4000 doriki. As a result, his original Rokuogan is just a bit more powerful than Sky Island's reject dial.
Then it is estimated that his strongest move at present, the "San Dai Rin: Rokuogan", is probably twice as powerful as the reject dial.
Lucci saw that his attack had no effect on the Shichibukai and immediately strategically jumped back to evacuate.
"I won't bully you either. I'll just use a Dial to let you know how strong you are now."
Basire took out a rare reject dial from his pocket, and he didn't even bother to use Armament Haki or the Seven-Star Demon Pattern.
"I don't know how to use soru for now, but I know how to do the enhanced silent step."
Seeing Lucci use 'Soru' to turn into an afterimage and retreat, Basire also activated his Observation Haki, used Silent Step to catch up, and followed closely behind.
"I will let you try the power of your Rokuogan"
Basire appeared in front of Lucci and smiled jokingly at him, whose expression changed drastically.
Then he raised the shell and aimed it at Rob Lucci's chest.
Boom~!
Even Basire was shaken back a few steps by the impact of the shell attack. Lucci, who was attacked from the front, was directly blasted against the wall of Blueno's bar as if he was hit by a high-speed sea train, and was thrown out to the street.
Rob Lucci climbed out of the pile of rubble and stared at the empty shell in Basire's hand.
The power of a shell is already comparable to the Rokuogan that he has been practicing for many years. This is too depressing.
The other crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates also began to touch their collection of impact dials and reject dials. The recoil of these things was too powerful, and they had to bear more than half of the damage, so it was not easy to use at all.
Usually, in the end, when there is really no other way and a desperate effort is needed, one will choose to use this rare type of Dial that can damage the enemy by 1,000 and damage himself by 800.
But Basire has Armament Haki and the Barrier Fruit, which can offset the counter-shock force caused by the reject dial.
However, masters with Armament Haki will almost never need to block external forces such as Dials.
Lucci, who had exited the leopard-man form, was gasping for air, with blood spilling from his mouth. Basire knew that this guy's physical strength had almost reached its bottom.
On the other side, Robin and Desire had already captured the CP9 spy Kalifa and tied her up while the battle between Zoro and Kaku was also coming to an end.
Kaku, a CP9 genius, was still not as good as Zoro, a swordsman genius. So he was completely suppressed in both swordsmanship and strength.
In the original work, Zoro could even defeat Kaku after taking the giraffe fruit.
What's more, the current Zoro has been strengthened for several months on Basire's ship. Without the blessing of the Zoan Devil Fruit ability, Kaku couldn't even hope to defeat Zoro.
As Rob Lucci was smashed away, Kaku's mind showed a slight flaw, and he was instantly hit by Zoro's three-swords style and was chopped to the ground.
"What? You still want to fight? Your two companions have already fallen."
Basire looked at Lucci who had once again entered the half-animal form and said with a smile, then he thought: 'He is indeed an elite agent and will never surrender until the last moment.'
At this time, the scream of a pigeon made Lucci's expression change suddenly.
A white pigeon wearing a red necktie was caught in the hands of Lafitte. It struggled desperately and several white feathers fell off.
"Hattori!"
Kaku and Kalifa were defeated and Lucci's face only changed color slightly, but once the white pigeon that had been with him for twenty years was captured, he finally showed true emotions.
Rob Lucci immediately stepped on the air using Geppo and rushed towards Lafitte in the air to snatch back his 'family' Hattori.
"Your behavior is not like a spy walking in the dark!"
'Hammer Barrier!'
Basire jumped up directly, clasping his hands together and made a hammer with his devil fruit, then he slammed Rob Lucci who was in the air with his back exposed.
Boom~!
A powerful and heavy hammer hit Rob Lucci hard into the street, creating a huge crater several meters deep.
After the dust dispersed, Lucci could no longer maintain his leopard-man form and returned to his human form. He coughed up blood in the giant pit and basically lost his ability to resist.
"Wiiihahaha! You also have it now!"
Burgess immediately jumped out with a loud laugh, quickly rushed into the pit, took out the seastone handcuffs, and cuffed the leopard man.
He didn't forget to stomp on Lucci's chest a few times to get revenge. Now there were several hideous bloody holes on Burgess' waist that Lucci had poked with his finger while using Shigan.
With the capture of these three CP9 spies, today's battle of the Big Daddy Pirates has come to an end.
"Lafitte, Kuro, make good use of their relationship to force them to hand over the practice methods for the Rokushiki!"
Basire ordered it because the Rokushiki is quite useful for the crew.
If he could force Lucci to hand over the training method of Seimei Kikan, even Basire might learn it.
It's amazing that something as elusive as consciousness can be manipulated. At least he doesn't know how to do it yet.
Moreover, Seimei Kikan can control the size of muscles, and even control the hair to attack. These are very practical moves.
This may allow him to improve the accuracy of controlling the barrier fruit by several levels.
At that time, he could even use his hair to activate the ability of the barrier fruit.
Many abilities and moves with forward timing can be activated silently and in advance.
The most important thing is that maybe in the future, a woman who is too tall might come to him.
For example, women like Smoothie and Shirahoshi.
Even Chopper, a little reindeer, can turn into a giant monster. Basire hopes that after he learns how to use Seimei Kikan, he can increase his size at any time and can suit any woman.
Thinking of this, he felt like he really needed to learn Seimei Kikan.
Moreover, he also possesses some of the abilities of the Beast Kirin Lion. Maybe even Chopper's rumble balls can have an effect on him.
Chopper's rumble balls allows the mink tribe people to temporarily enter the powerful Sulong form under non-full moon conditions, bursting out with powerful combat power.
It also allows Zoan Devil fruit users to have extra transformations, which shows the commercial value of the rumble ball.
'When I go back to hunt for future supernovas in a while, I will also go to Drum Island to search for Dr Kureha and Chopper.'
'At the very least, we should get the prescription and concept theory of the rumble balls, and let Nightin, Doc Q and the other doctors study it in depth.'
'This will be a big business, comparable to the artificial Devil Fruit project.'
···
The four members of CP9 have all been escorted back to the Ark Maxim and they were ready to leave the island at any time.
However, since it is an expedition to plunder, how can there be only this little profit?
Basire also wanted to make a bigger fuss and let Naval Headquarters know that even if he is a newcomer to the Shichibukai, he is not that easy to fool and control.
Mayor Iceburg was mobilizing the Adam Wood and preparing a huge amount of 'protection money' to prevent the Big Daddy Pirates from wreaking havoc and killing in the Capital of Water Seven.
After Basire left Blueno's Bar, he flew straight to the Financial Bank in the Island.
There is a lot of money there. Almost all the gold that the Straw Hat Pirates obtained on Sky Island was sold here in the Capital of Water Seven, and they obtained hundreds of millions of beris.
And this bank also took the Straw Hats' gold very easily, which shows its strong funds.
That money was the funds for them to build a new ship, and it was also an introduction to the bond between the crew and Franky. In the end, Franky purchased a very expensive piece of Adam wood that ended up being used for the new ship.
"Captain! Behind these banks, in addition to the World government, there is also the shadow of the underworld emperor, the God of Fortune, Lu Feld."
"Do you really want to do something against it?"
Lafitte asked with a smile on his face. To be honest, he wanted to rob banks from the bottom of his heart, but the background of these banks were too terrifying for ordinary pirates to offend.
They must think clearly about the horrific consequences of robbing a bank.
"Then let the people from the World Government and Lu Feld negotiate terms with me. Are we short of money now?"
"What we lack is fame and intimidation!"
Basire grinned. If these people think that he is easy to bully, then let them see with his actions that he's not.
And now he also wants to get in touch with Lu Feld, the God of Fortune. This guy was the big financier behind the Vegapunk MAD research team more than 20 years ago.
Many of the early research results of the MAD team were backed up by him, possibly even the theory of life blueprints and bloodline factors.
Every underworld emperor is not a simple person.
Therefore, Basire wants to conduct some deeper dark transactions with this rich man and plan some taboo things in the world government.
Speaking of the MAD research team, Punk Hazard's Caesar Clown and the artificial dragon fruit are now on the agenda.
Whether it's the specific Devil Fruit recycling technology that Caesar has, or the artificial Devil Fruit technology, Basire wants to get a piece of it.
"Do you want fame and deterrence? Taking action against a powerful financial institution like a bank can indeed cause a lot of commotion."
"And the mayor has worked so hard, so let's not destroy this beautiful city."
Lafitte also roughly understood what Basire meant. On the one hand, instead of money, the real goal this time was to lure some big shots to negotiate terms.
Just like when Doflamingo grabbed the Heavenly Gold, those guys would come forward and negotiate terms 'seriously'.
When the Ark Maxim moved from the bar to the Grand Bank of the Capital of Water Seven, it scared many forces.
Not even the most lawless pirates dare to provoke financial institutions like banks. After all, behind them are the World Government and various other forces.
Provoking this kind of place is no less than provoking the world nobles, the Celestial Dragons.
Basire openly entered this large bank, and a large number of intelligence personnel immediately called their bosses to ask for support.
Even the phone at Naval Headquarters was ringing off the hook.
"What! Basire wants to rob the big bank in Water Seven?"
Some blue veins appeared on Sengoku's forehead. This Basire actually dared to risk the disapproval of the world and attack financial institutions.
"Have Admiral Aokiji rush to Water Seven immediately!"
Sengoku yelled, his eyes filled with coldness. This new Shichibukai was really going overboard. Does he even dare to rob the World Government's bank?
"If you had given him the information about the pirates he wanted, then there wouldn't be any such nonsense. I feel like he is demonstrating his stance to the Naval Headquarters now."
Garp picked his nose and muttered. After they gave Basire the task of annihilating the Golden Lion Fleet in exchange for information, it only took a few days for the Big Daddy Pirates to rush thousands of miles to plunder the Capital of Water Seven. It seems that It's some sort of revenge.
"The most important thing is that they actually have an airship. Has Basire already reached a cooperation with Golden Lion Shiki?"
Marine Vice Admiral Crane said with some confusion, because she was sure that with Golden Lion Shiki's temper, he probably wouldn't cooperate with Basire.
After all, Basire forced him back and wiped out more than ten or twenty affiliated pirate groups of his fleet. Now the Golden Lion Fleet has completely collapsed.
With such grievances, how could these two people resolve their conflicts and cooperate?
"According to the latest information, the Big Daddy Pirates' airship seems to have its own power and is not levitated by Golden Lion Shiki's Float Devil Fruit ability."
Sengoku handed an intelligence document to Tsuru, and then he immediately took out a special den den mushi to directly contact Basire, that bastard, and drive him out of Water Seven.
In the big bank of Water Seven.
Some security personnel have fallen to the ground, including a couple powerful black-suited guards with the strength of a pirate of no less than 70 to 80 million beris.
The crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates were sitting in the reception hall and the money they snatched piled up like a hill. The staff members of the bank were already trembling with fear.
Then, whether it was the Big Daddy Pirates or the bank's den den mushis, they all started ringing.
Basire first took out his Shichibukai's exclusive den den mushi.
"Basire, do you think that after becoming a Shichibukai you would be free to do whatever you want? Take your pirate group with you and leave Water Seven immediately!"
As soon as the phone was connected, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku was heard yelling, his tone full of anger, as if he was about to withdraw Basire's Shichibukai status at the next moment.
Now the den den mushis at Naval Headquarters has already received many alarms and complaints. Even the World Government was aware of Basire's actions.
"Hey, Fleet Admiral, doesn't the treaty of the Shichibukai say that we can legally plunder? Are you going back on your word now?"
Facing Sengoku's questioning and scolding, Basire held the phone away from his ear and his tone was a bit joking.
However, when he saw a bunch of desperate reporters appearing in front of the bank, he immediately changed his tone.
"Actually, I am also very helpless. The Marine refused to give me the information I needed and did not provide me with convenience, so that I could not make money by encircling and suppressing pirate groups."
"In order to support so many crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates, I was forced to do some robbery to replenish our working capital."
"Moreover, I promise that I will make good use of this money. I will use these beris to buy the information we need from the underworld."
"In this way, I can continue to quickly encircle and suppress these pirate groups and make my own contribution to world peace and justice."
"I think that Fleet Admiral Sengoku will definitely understand me!"
Basire immediately began to twist the events and also found a morally high position, pretending to be weak, and started his personal performance.
As expected, those reporters began to write crazily in their notebooks, as if they had heard some big news, and they did not forget to take a lot of photos of Basire.
It doesn't matter whether what he was saying is true or not, as long as it can increase newspaper sales.
Seeing that the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates had no intention of stopping or taking action, these reporters became even bolder and began to pour into the reception hall.
Some guys even started interviewing and filming them, especially beautiful pirates like Desire and Nami. They are really too attractive, which will definitely help to sell the news.
Nico Robin had returned to the Ark Maxim and was wearing a sun hat and sunglasses to avoid appearing in public.
Even rugged pirates like Burgess and Eldoraggo had young reporters interviewing them.
This made them extremely happy and excited, and they were very cooperative in having their photos taken. They even answered some slightly more exciting questions without restraint, which made the reporters' eyes light up.
It was as if these pirates were a pile of beris.
However, when they saw the hill made of money, they felt that even if they spent their whole lives selling newspapers, they would not be able to make that much money.
"Basire! Stop pretending here! Your goal has already been achieved. Now leave the Capital of Water Seven immediately. We will give you the information you want!"
Even though Sengoku was full of anger, in order to reduce losses and reduce the seriousness of the situation, he could only choose to compromise and agree to the Big Daddy Pirates' previous intelligence request.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, although your justice is late, I think you are still a good person."
"However, we have purchased a lot of high-priced information on pirate groups from the underworld intelligence organizations, and our funds are almost depleted."
"So this time, we will borrow the money from the big bank in the Capital of Water Seven for a while."
"After we round up more pirate groups and earn the money of their bounties, we will return part of it and then honestly hand over part to the World Government!"
"Moreover, I promise you, our Big Daddy Pirates also have their own principles. If we say that we will not destroy Water Seven, we will not destroy this shipbuilding island, and we will not kill people indiscriminately either."
"Remember to award me a banner and medal for being an outstanding Shichibukai next time!"
"We will do our best to suppress pirates and actively pay taxes on our legal plunder!"
Basire was talking very excitedly, while Sengoku was absolutely furious when he heard it, and the reporters were excited, feeling that they would be making headlines tomorrow.
The Shichibukai Daddy Basire used the money he legally plundered from the Capital of Water Seven to buy information to encircle and suppress pirates, and he also pays the World Government's share of the money honestly.
Is this the loss of morality or the loss of humanity?
The world government makes these kinds of bullshit rules about legal plunder, but Basire, a pirate, talks about integrity here and actively turns over stolen money.
Moreover, the original reason why the Big Daddy Pirates chose to rob the Capital of Water Seven was because Naval Headquarters refused to provide information to Basire to encircle and suppress the pirates.
All kinds of conjectures and wild ideas were taking shape in the minds of these reporters. They want to add fuel to the fire, exaggerate a little more, and make up a wonderful story.
Boom~!
At this moment, a terrifying explosion sound came from outside.
"Captain, there are Marines bombarding our Ark Maxim!"
Van Augur immediately shouted to Basire, and Lafitte had already flown out to intercept the Marine's artillery fire and protect their ship.
Aboard the Ark Maxim, Nico Robin, Kuro, and Gin were busy protecting the golden airship.
Soon, Zoro, Burgess and the others had already run outside to intercept the Marine's intensive artillery fire.
The Ark Maxim also rose up quickly, getting away from the Marine's firepower.
…
Inside the reception hall
"Hey Sengoku, can Marines now attack the Shichibukai, aren't we supposed to be allies?"
Basire, who had been pretending to be pitiful and teasing just now, had turned expressionless, and his terrifying aura reappeared, making the reporters and staff present quiet down.
All the members of the Big Daddy Pirates have arrived outside the bank and started fighting with the Marines who suddenly attacked them.
Among them was a huge dinosaur, which rushed directly into the camp of the Big Daddy Pirates and began to attack recklessly.
Marine Rear Admiral X Drake, the user of the Zoan Dragon Fruit Ancient Species model Allosaurus, like an ancient ferocious beast, launched an attack on the Big Daddy Pirates.
The terrifying strength of the beast knocked Burgess and Bear King away.
"Lawless pirates, hateful Shichibukai! Even if I have to disobey the orders of the World Government and Naval Headquarters today, I will destroy you!"
X Drake, who entered the half-dinosaur form, threw away his cloak of justice, and then rushed straight towards Big Daddy Basire in the reception hall, as if he wanted to fight him to the death.
Basire saw the half-dinosaur man holding a sword in his left hand and a four-edged ax in his right coming to attack him. He immediately recognized him as X Drake, the future supernova.
"A Marine wants to attack you? That may be the Marine's own personal behavior and has nothing to do with Naval Headquarters. We will punish him well when the time comes."
"But now, you'd better leave the Capital of Water Seven honestly, otherwise, things will not be so easy to talk about when Admiral Aokiji gets there!"
There was a hint of suspicion in Sengoku's tone, as if he didn't believe that any Marine dared to disobey orders, and he continued to warn Basire, the unruly Shichibukai.
"Hey~, since he is a Marine that disobeyed the orders of Naval Headquarters, do you want me to help you capture him?"
Basire smiled softly, how could he not know that X Drake, the Marine Rear Admiral, had a close relationship with Sengoku and Tsuru, so there was no way he could disobey orders so easily.
At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind. Is this guy going to take this opportunity to betray the Marines and go on an undercover mission?
Clang~!
X Drake's two weapons had already hit the barrier that appeared in front of Basire. The huge air wave caused the reporters and bank staff to flee in panic from the reception hall of the bank.
There were even many Beri notes that were blown away by the strong wind, causing the banknotes to fly all over the place.
"Basire, please leave Water Seven immediately, and the Marine will handle the rest!"
Sengoku's voice was still roaring on the phone, but Basire had already blocked it and ignored the Marine Fleet Admiral.
'Then before Aokiji comes, let me play with you!'
Basire sneered, they wanted to use him as a tool to give X Drake a reason to rebel, so he wouldn't be polite.
Why not make X Drake and the Marine share the blame for robbing the big bank in Water Seven?
"Mr Dinosaur Rear Admiral, if you want this money, just ask and I'll give you half of it. If you want it, how could I not give it to you?"
"The Marines and Shichibukai are partners, so there is no need to fight and kill each other. Remember to go back and hand over some of the money to the World Government and Naval Headquarters."
Basire chuckled at Drake and said that he was still going to hand over half of the stolen money to this Marine Rear Admiral in front of these frightened reporters.
Just when the reporters felt that there was even bigger news, the entire bank suddenly began to shake, and there were many buildings approaching outside, surrounding the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates.
A beautiful Marine wearing a hat, a Marine cloak of justice, and holding a whip was whipping these buildings to keep moving.
Rear Admiral Kujaku, the granddaughter of Marine Vice Admiral Tsuru, she ate the Paramecia Whip Devil Fruit.
She can command anything she whips, including buildings and other inanimate objects to resemble circus animals, attacking and besieging enemies according to her wishes.
On the top floor of a tall building, another Marine Rear Admiral wearing an extra-long peaked cap appeared. Clay dolls appeared in his hands and turned into powerful clay warriors, launching a fierce attack on the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates.
Rear Admiral Prince Grus, Clay Devil Fruit user, can not only create clay warriors, but also add clay armor and characteristics to his teammates, so that they can also obtain the reshaping properties of clay and continuously recover.
Seeing a powerful enemy appear, Zoro immediately excitedly jumped to the high building and attacked Grus.
The battle broke out instantly.
Kujaku did not continue to take action, but only encircled the Big Daddy Pirates.
Now that Drake has taken action against Basire, the Shichibukai, and has been charged with disobeying the orders of the Naval Headquarters, then let him escape from Basire and the Big Daddy Pirates and betray the Marine.
Coupled with Sengoku's statement at Naval Headquarters, then Drake can go to sea as a rebel and become a pirate.
…
Inside the reception hall.
Drake originally only wanted to attack Basire a few times, so he took advantage of the chaos outside and used the terrain created by Kujaku to take advantage of the chaos. He openly betrayed the Marine and became a pirate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Basire opened his mouth, he said that he would hand over half of the stolen money and ask him to take it back and hand it over to the Naval Headquarters and World Government.
The most important thing is that many journalists have taken photos and recorded everything.
This didn't fit into his plan at all.
"Reporters, for this legal plunder, I have already paid all the taxes, and also gave an extra portion to this ferocious dinosaur Rear Admiral as a hard work fee."
"Everyone present, you can take as much as you can on your hands today, which will be considered as everyone's compensation for your time and royalties!"
Basire crossed his fingers, and a transparent barrier box framed and closed half of the money and treasures, which amounted to about 2 billion Beris. Then he walked out without any intention of continuing to fight with Drake.
And Drake was also feeling a little numb. Unexpectedly, this Shichibukai didn't fight back and left him so much money.
This development couldn't continue. He and Naval Headquarters could never take the blame, so he immediately turned into a huge dinosaur and continued to rush towards Basire. With an unstoppable momentum, he crashed into him like a sea train.
"No need to send it to me!"
'Barrier impact!'
Basire laughed jokingly, and then a solid barrier appeared and pushed back, knocking the Allosaurus into the pile of Beris, and the money continued to rain.
Some greedy reporters and bank staff began to secretly put money into their pockets.
After all, the Shichibukai just said that they could take some compensation at will.
At this time, another den den mushi in Basire's coat rang again.
Basire, holding a giant barrier box containing money, had already walked out of the bank. When the crew in the Ark Maxim saw their captain appearing, the Ship immediately began to land.
Basire answered the call while throwing the huge barrier money box into the golden airship.
"Little brat Basire, I am Lu Feld. Do you want to fight against the entire underground financial world? Or do you want to be hunted down by the entire world? How dare you steal our things!"
The tone of the God of Fortune Lu Feld was full of anger. The majesty of the underworld emperors must not be violated. Even lawless underworld dark emperors like Doflamingo must abide by the rules of the game they set.
What's more, Lu Feld has already established a connection with the World Government, and has also fed the Yonkōs and some other big pirates.
After spending so much resources and favors, he struggled to unite the world's financial organizations, grow bigger and stronger together, and become a huge neutral financial organization.
On the surface, it is the World Government that takes the majority of the profits from the bank, and in the underworld financial organization it is Lu Feld who takes the majority of the profits. He manages all the forces, whether it is the World Government, Naval Headquarters, Yonkōs, or local forces.
It was he who allowed the mainstream financial organizations in the entire world to circulate with each other and unify the standard exchange rate.
He also relied on his ability to make friends, both black and white, to manage finances, and he won titles such as the King of Loan Sharks, one of the Underworld Dark Emperors, the God of Fortune.
Whether they are Marines, pirates, nobles, civilians, or even the revolutionary army, they can achieve the circulation of funds through overt and underground financial organizations.
Even the World Government, Naval Headquarters and the Golden Emperor, several underworld emperors, are inseparable from his underground banking organization to conduct dark financial transactions.
It is because of the conflict between various forces and the use of Lu Feld, the underworld emperor, as the balance and transfer point that the open-face funds and underground dark funds can complete the unobstructed circulation.
The world government also often sends a check to Big News Morgans, so that Morgans can exaggerate the news or cover up certain news they don't want exposed.
Or send money to Doflamingo to go to the territory of Kaido of the Beasts to buy a huge amount of seastone for them.
All these transactions are due to the power of underground financial organizations. Even the world government can no longer do without this large network.
The World Government has also always wanted its spies to replace the position of Lu Feld and control the financial power of the underworld without derailing the underworld.
The World Government has trained Stussy, the Queen of the Pleasure District, to become one of the underworld emperors, making a lot of extra money and getting a lot of information.
In fact, they have long been eyeing other underworld emperors and wish to replace them one by one.
But the underworld is a gray area between the World Government and all pirates. The important thing is that most would rather accept the weaker pirates to become the underworld emperors than allow the powerful World Government to continue to get involved and become even bigger.
Otherwise, pirates and underground organizations wouldn't be able to resist the World Government.
When the underworld emperors went to Totto Land for Big Mom's tea party, the Queen of the Pleasure District Stussy's first target to kill in a sneak attack was Lu Feld, who controlled countless funds.
Even Big News Morgans, a big talker who often doesn't give World Government respect, his priority is not as high as that of the God of Fortune Lu Feld.
···
When he heard that the person on the other side of the phone was Lu Feld, Basire showed a smile.
This guy with a huge amount of money had never contacted the Big Daddy Pirates before. He always sent some kittens and puppies to discuss cooperation with them, quite like the Yonkōs.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Feld. You, a noble man with many things to do, finally have time to talk to me, a newcomer!"
Basire put the money back into the cabin, then stood on the bow of the ship and had a good chat with the underworld emperor.
"So, you deliberately robbed the bank to lure me out? Tell me, what do you want to do?"
On the other side, Lu Feld chewed a cigar and said in a cold tone, not really caring much about the money, because most of the losses from the bank in Water Seven belonged to the World Government, and he only accounted for less than 10% of the profits.
However, he must not let the trend of robbing financial banks become popular. He must unite with the World Government to punish such actions severely. Even the Shichibukai must pay the price.
Otherwise, this financial business will not be able to continue in the future, and there will be pirates robbing banks everywhere.
"I didn't mean to rob, I just let the money flow, and it will eventually return to the underworld."
"Besides, I already handed half of the money to the World Government and Marines as tax from my legal plunder as a Shichibukai."
"After grabbing all this money, I just asked Naval Headquarters to help me pay for the intelligence fees."
"Speaking of which, my purpose is indeed to conduct some transactions with you."
"Mr. Feld, you who have both money and resources, are indeed a good partner, don't you think?"
Basire smiled faintly, and then looked at the battle below. Drake had rushed out of the reception hall and continued to launch fierce attacks on the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates.
And it seems that he was gradually approaching the gap between the buildings controlled by Kujaku, preparing to escape from Water Seven.
Basire doesn't want to take action against Drake now. After all, this guy is still the Naval Headquarters Rear Admiral, but after he betrays the Marine, he will be a good prey for the Big Daddy Pirates.
The ancient Allosaurus zoan fruit seems to have pretty good abilities.
However, Sengoku and Tsuru will always focus on Drake, the undercover pirate. If he takes action against him, he wonders if these two old timers will directly ask him for help or try to take revenge.
After a while, three more people joined the battle. They were several members of CP9, the werewolf Jabra, Kumadori who can control his hair to attack, and Fukurou.
Three CP9s, three Marine Rear Admirals, and several elite Marines fought back and forth with the Big Daddy Pirates, and soon fell into an anxious battle.
Fortunately, the main task of Kujaku and Prince Grus is to cover Drake's departure. If these three elite Rear Admirals and the Big Daddy Pirates fight to the death, Zoro and Lafitte will probably fight hard too.
Seeing the crew fighting fiercely, Basire was still talking to Lu Feld.
"Little kid Basire, what do you have? Could it be those memory alloys and the so-called rejuvenation potion?"
"Besides these two things, what else do you have?"
"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I will let you know what a total ban on the underworld means!"
Lu Feld's tone was still cold, and the things in Basire's hand could not tempt him at all.
Unless he can offer a permanent effect of the short-term rejuvenation potion, because he feels that the temporary effect is still a bit useless.
The shape memory alloy sold by the Big Daddy Pirates is much worse than the special shape memory armor made by Germa Technology. He also has some primitive shape memory metal, but the quantity is not as much as the memory alloy in Basire's hand.
"Pure gold that can make you immortal! How about it, are you interested in cooperation?"
Basire didn't care at all about the threat of the God of Fortune, and proceeded to mention something that these rich people could not refuse!
"...do you have the whereabouts of pure gold?"
Lu Feld's tone has indeed changed a lot, and he is still unable to believe it completely.
In fact, the Celestial Dragons and the underworld forces have been looking for the whereabouts of pure gold, but the legend from two hundred years ago seems to have vanished, and even the island where pure gold was created had half of it disappear.
"I know! But it will take three to five years to get it. How about it? Big boss, are you interested in investing? This is an opportunity to live forever we are talking about."
Basire's words seemed to be full of temptation, which made Lu Feld begin to feel excited.
"What evidence do you have? And what do you want?"
His tone became gentler, without any anger or coldness at all. If he could get pure gold, it wouldn't matter if he was robbed of a few more banks.
The God of Fortune Lu Feld, who already has endless wealth, just wants to live in this wonderful world forever, instead of dying of old age and turning into ashes.
Basire smiled slightly while holding the den den mushi. He knew that such a rich guy must want to live forever.
And he also wants the technology and funds in Lu Feld's hands.
"Two hundred years ago, a scientist named Myskina Acier, in order to save his six-year-old daughter who was terminally ill, made pure gold that could greatly extend people's lifespan, so that his daughter could survive."
"But the island where he lived disappeared mysteriously soon. Now I have obtained some accurate information and need your technical and financial support."
"I heard that you funded the MAD research team more than 20 years ago. Famous scientists such as Vegapunk, Vinsmoke Judge, Queen the Plague, and Caesar Clown have all worked in your team."
"I need some of the top technologies you have access to, and I need you to fund me with tens of billions of beris."
Basire directly told an absurd amount, knowing that the God of Fortune Lu Feld was not only as rich as any other country, but also as rich as dozens of countries.
Tens of billions of Beris is probably nothing to him.
The money he has can easily buy the lives of the Yonkōs, but there is no person strong enough who can take the heads of the Four Emperors.
In this world, the rich are not the biggest, but those with invincible strength are the real masters.
That's why he funded scientists to find various ways to make money, become stronger, and live longer.
As a result, after the MAD research team he funded was robbed by the World Government, several top scientists dispersed and fled for their lives.
This caused him to lose most of his investment, almost all his money was lost, and he only got a batch of semi-finished technology.
What kind of biological factors and life design diagrams didn't he have? After the top scientists left these things behind, the scientists he hired after them couldn't understand them at all.
Vegapunk, the world's number one scientist, and Caesar Clown, were forced to join the World government.
Vinsmoke Judge returned to North Blue, and with the cloning and cyborg technology, and the shape memory armor, it allowed him to rebuild Germa 66 and once again become the powerhouse of North Blue.
Even Plague Queen, a fat scientist, has become one of the three disasters of the Beasts Pirates.
It made Lu Feld very unhappy to see that each of these scientists had developed so powerfully that they were already on an equal footing with him.
If the MAD research team had not been captured by the World government, then Germa 66's android army and the powerful Queen would have been his subordinates.
Maybe he would have become the strongest underworld emperor, comparable to the power of the Yonkōs.
He wouldn't need to go to Big Mom's tea party every year to show respect to Charlotte Linlin.
As a big boss, he is not used to leaving his base camp and entering other people's territory, which makes him feel very insecure.
What Lu Feld didn't know was that he would die on Cake Island three years later because he left his nest and attended a tea party in Totto Land.
···
"Little brat Basire, you dare to open your mouth to ask for so much? Do you think I am a fool?
"However, if you really know the whereabouts of the pure gold, I will suppress the matter of this robbery for you!"
"And if you focus on finding pure gold, I can provide you with funds every month. But you must also report your progress to me every month."
Lu Feld was dubious about Basire's words, but for a thing like pure gold that could lead to immortality, based on the principle of preferring to believe that it might be real rather than something that doesn't exist, he should just spend money to fund Basire, the Shichibukai.
If Basire really finds pure gold, he will make a fortune from this investment.
And listening to Basire's tone, it seems like there is some credibility.
Then he will play along with him for a few years. If he finds out that he is a liar, he will deal with this guy properly.
"You only have one chance. If you don't believe it, there are some people who do."
"The most important thing in life is trust, and who do you think I am? A subordinate? Asking me to report to you every month?"
"I believe those Celestial Dragons are happy to give money for such technology, but I just can't stand them, so I chose to cooperate with you."
"Mr. Feld, besides you who are very rich in this world, the Golden Emperor and the world's nobles are also very rich."
Basire said calmly, his tone showing enough self-confidence. Even if Lu Feld had money and also a lot of skills, his personal strength was not very high, so Basire came to him to cooperate.
"Haha! Basire, it seems you are very confident! I do believe that you have the whereabouts of pure gold!"
"However, cooperation is not something you alone have the final say on. Come up with some sincere conditions for me to pay you willingly!"
Lu Feld laughed and said, facing Basire's tough attitude, he became happy instead. He also believed that this brat seemed to be really good.
As long as there is information about something like pure gold, he is not afraid of wasting money to look for it. Because he is really not short of money.
Hearing that Lu Feld had fallen into his plan step by step, Basire began to discuss comprehensive cooperation with the God of Fortune, temporarily pulling the rich underworld emperor into his allies.
The most important thing is that Lu Feld will soon put the permanent pointer of Punk Hazard into the hands of Basire.
He also needs to give some original shape memory metals to Basire so that he can improve the formula of his shape memory alloys made by Wapol and strive to turn them into more powerful rare metals.
Of course, money is also indispensable.
As Basire and Lu Feld finished talking about cooperation, on the battlefield below, X Drake had actually run away and betrayed the Marine in a big way.
Those Marine elites also took the opportunity to evacuate, disowned Drake, and claimed that they had no intention of attacking the Shichibukai. It was all orders from the traitorous Rear Admiral X Drake, and they wanted to return to Naval Headquarters to resume their lives.
Basire watched them leave with a blank expression, and did not take action against Kujaku and Drake, because of their relationship with Sengoku and Tsuru.
However, these CP9s will definitely not be able to escape.
Some orphan spy dogs that were trained since childhood. They did not have the support of big people, and no one would take revenge on him even if they died.
Basire instantly jumped off the Ark Maxim and personally attacked the werewolf Jabra and several others, capturing them successfully.
Just then he saw an ice road appearing on the sea in the distance of Water Seven, and there was a person riding a bicycle approaching quickly.
"Quick victory, finish the fight and leave!"
Basire immediately gave orders to his crew. He didn't want to fight with Admiral Aokiji yet.
When everyone boarded the Ark Maxim, Basire also asked Mayor Iceburg to take the Adam Wood back to Jaya Island by boat, and then discuss the return of Franky on Basire's territory.
When Aokiji Kuzan landed in Water Seven, the Big Daddy Pirates had already left the shipbuilding island in their flying ship together with a group of captives.
The money that was left behind by Basire at the bank was also robbed by some pirates and reporters, but under the suppression of Iceburg and Admiral Aokiji, things were quickly settled.
The reporters who took their money and left early were already frantically reporting to their headquarters to prepare tomorrow's headlines.
Ark Maxim.
Basire looked at the captives taken in this expedition, one with the slow fruit ability that involved time, and the door fruit ability that involved space.
Foxy's talent is very poor, and now Blueno is very loyal to the World Government, so Basire basically gave up the idea of recruiting them.
He is also looking for a suitable crew member to inherit the ability. As long as Blackbeard is captured, then he can start his Devil Fruit plundering plan.
"Captain, not only did Naval Headquarters call this time, but the World Government also called."
"They asked us to release all CP9 members and hand over all the prisoners taken in Water Seven."
Lafitte, a diplomat, whose professional fake smile became a little serious, carefully reported to Basire that the trouble they had caused this time seemed to be a bit too big.
It was only after Lafitte took action that he discovered that those shipwrights were CP agents of the World Government, and they were also agents and spies who were performing important tasks.
Now the World Government seems to be taking this matter very seriously. In the half-day since the Big Daddy Pirates left the Capital of Water Seven, they have called many times to put pressure on Basire.
"For the CP9 members ask them to exchange Devil Fruits, or special technology and supplies."
"For now you continue to argue with them until these CP agents hand over all Rokushiki martial arts training."
"As for the cyborg Franky and the bar owner Blueno, announce that they have died from their injuries."
Basire said casually, while still lifting dumbbells and exercising hard. The appearance of Admiral Aokiji made him feel a threat way more deadly than Golden Lion Shiki.
Just because Basire can play well with Golden Lion Shiki doesn't mean he can play equally well with Aokiji.
Among the top combat forces, the gap is still a bit big.
For example, Kid, who has a bounty of 3 billion, can be easily defeated by the red-haired Shanks, who has a bounty of 4 billion.
What's more, Golden Lion is just an old man with multiple serious injuries, which severely limits his strength.
He is no longer comparable to a young and strong Logia Ice Fruit ability user like Aokiji. He only relies on the ability of Float Fruit to make many forces fear him.
"Then I'll delay it as long as possible."
Lafitte said helplessly, because in fact, he has argued with Naval Headquarters and World Government several times now, and the other party has shown impatience, which makes him feel like this problem is very difficult to deal with.
However, he could only follow his captain's request and continue to ask for prices and negotiate terms.
…
The next day.
The news of the Big Daddy Pirates' invasion of Water Seven made the headlines of the Economic News Agency. At the same time, a Marine Rear Admiral betrayed the Marine because he attacked the Shichibukai.
Among the news, it was mentioned how Basire handed over half of the stolen money to the Marine on the spot as a legal plunder to pay taxes to the World Government, which attracted a lot of dissatisfaction and scolding from Marines and civilians.
Some irritable people even publicly cursed the World Government and called for the cancellation of the garbage organization that is the Shichibukai.
They even felt that Rear Admiral X Drake's betrayal of the Marine was just a forced and helpless act, and he was still a righteous Marine.
Drake also didn't expect that he would gain a lot of fame, which was different from his original intention of being an undercover agent.
So he has planned to do some things that real pirates do, build a reputation as a brutal rebel, and become a great pirate.
The other underworld emperors also felt it was a bit strange.
Why didn't Lu Feld jump out to deal with the rule breaker Basire this time when he robbed the bank?
In the past, when encountering this kind of thing, he was always the first to take the lead in chasing and intercepting such robbers, and it was a desperate situation.
The underworld emperors soon realized that Lu Feld had most likely reached a certain degree of cooperation with Daddy Basire.
This allowed them to refresh their evaluation of Basire again and prepare to strengthen cooperation with the new Shichibukai.
Spandam of Enies Lobby, after losing the elites of CP9, kept applying to the World Government Headquarters to capture the Shichibukai Basire, because he believed that the Pluton design was in the hands of Franky, the cyborg who was captured by him.
Only by retrieving Franky can the World Government have a chance to obtain Pluton's design, and he can better promote himself and make a fortune.
For this reason, he also asked his father Spandine, a high-ranking official, to constantly turn a deaf ear to the World Government and to take action against Basire.

On the other side, after Basire finished his expedition, he had time to look for other resources and benefits.
On the third day after the Water Seven incident.
"Captain, the island below is the island where strange things are reported."
Nami held an Eternal Pose and said to Basire. Now that the Big Daddy Pirates have become the crew of a Shichibukai, they can buy most of the Eternal Poses circulating in the market.
It's not like those rookie pirates who can only use the Log Pose to sail one island after another according to the route.
This is the benefit of having power.
According to rumors, residents of this island will lose their memories every day, and this strange incident has spread in the nearby waters.
There have been other people who came here to investigate before, but even these people lost their memories.
These people were either rescued by their partners, or left on the island, becoming amnesiacs, and then losing their memories again and again every day.
Basire felt that this memory seahorse had good abilities, so he wanted to tame it and take it back for experimentation.
However, the memories swallowed by this memory seahorse seem to be unable to be digested and erased. As long as it is beaten violently, it will spit out the memories.
No matter how long the memory has been swallowed, it can be returned to the original owner.
That is to say, it is just like Sugar's Toy Fruit, it may cause problems at any minute.
When these people whose memories are devoured fully recover their memories, the rage might be no less than the riot when Sugar was stunned and all the toys returned to their original state.
However, Basire didn't need the Memory Seahorse to devour the memories of so many people. He just wanted to test whether these captives could be trained into obedient subordinates after losing their memories.
These all require experimentation.
As the Ark Maxim landed on this small island, it quickly attracted the attention of the islanders and attracted a crowd of onlookers.
"No one can sleep until we catch that seahorse!"
Basire ordered, and then the people dispersed to look for an orange seahorse.
This memory seahorse can swallow up memories while others are sleeping, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
Even Basire himself didn't know if his memory would be swallowed up.
After all, this world is full of messy abilities, and they are very incomprehensible.
"Aye Captain!"
The crew of the Big Daddy Pirates immediately landed on this remote island from the Ark Maxim, looking for the seahorse that can eat memories.
The Groseade in the waters of Jaya Island has also received Basire's call order and started to set off for the target island.
They will join the Big Daddy Pirates there to carry out the third round of modifications and upgrades to the island ship.
