Chapter 279 The seven kings of the dark world are too many!
"The King of the Dark World?"
Several images of crooked melons and cracked jujubes appeared in Storm's mind - in fact, not all of them were crooked melons and cracked jujubes.
Big news, Queen of Happy Street, King of Loan Sharks, King of Shipping, Warehouse Industry Veteran, Big Hand Undertaker...and Joker, who was "removed" from King Shichibukai some time ago.
These seven people together form the "Seven Kings" of the dark world.
This number of personnel coincidentally coincides with that of King Shichibukai.
On the sea, the name of the King of the Dark World is not as loud and shocking as the King's Shichibukai.
But in fact, every king of the dark world represents an extremely large organizational force and cannot be underestimated.
Give me an example.
The king of loan sharks, Lou Feld.
Perhaps the world only thinks that Lou Felder is a guy who likes to lend money and is extremely greedy - although this is also the case.
But decades ago, Lou Feld generously funded scientific research projects organized by MADS.
That’s right!
It is the "MADS organization" that brings together Vegapunk, Caesar Courant, Quinn Thane, Vinsmoke Gage and other mad scientists!
The King of the Dark World and the world's number one genius... had a very deep connection at some time in the past.
Storm has not been "involved" in the dark world much, and he doesn't know much about the king of the dark world.
He recalled for a moment and looked up at Tezzolo.
"What 'King of the Dark World' are you interested in?"
"Interested? Ah... indeed a little bit."
Tezolo was stunned, He said hesitantly.
"Actually, Lord White Dragon, there is something I have forgotten to report to you before...
"After the fall of Donquixote Doflamingo, I took the opportunity to gather a lot of his people. Wealth and resources... In addition, a few guys headed by Lou Feld also took away a lot of business that belonged to the Don Quixote family. ”
A king of the dark world has fallen.
The other kings of the dark world will not stand aside and watch.
They are like hyenas smelling the smell of blood. They gathered around and ate the bodies of the "Don Quixote Family" like crazy
This was not beyond Storm's expectation.
Just listen to Tezzolo continue.
“Actually, I’m not very interested in the dark world. Business there is too confusing and difficult to do. The profitable industries are all occupied by guys like Lou Feld, and it’s difficult to create new business. Exploration...
"But now that Don Quixote Doflamingo has fallen, the 'arms business' he originally owned has been vacated... I wonder if I should occupy Don Quixote De Doflamingo's original business.
“Having the title of ‘King of the Dark World’ will also make it easier for me and our business to expand.”
Grandezolo is very profitable.
But Tezzolo wanted to make more, more money.
"You can make your own decision on this kind of thing."
Ström looked at Tezolo calmly and reminded him in a calm tone.
“But there are two businesses you can’t touch – drugs and slave trading.”
In general, Storm was sworn in with gambling and drug addiction.
But now that he has become a pirate, his moral bottom line has dropped a lot...
For example, Storm originally hated the matter of "gambling".
But Yixiao and Tezzolo were both recruited by him.
The former is a gambling dog.
The latter is the boss behind the world's largest casino.
It is not easy for Storm to interfere in the hobbies and businesses of these two people.
But you can’t touch this “poison” thing!
Storm’s attitude was very firm.
As for the slave trade, Storm also hated it and simply mentioned it together.
"Yes, Lord White Dragon."
Tezolo said respectfully.
In fact, he had never touched these two businesses.
Not much to say about the drug business.
As for the slave trade...
Tezzolo has a shadow of life.
People from all over the world come to Gulantezzolo to gamble. Those who lose everything in the world's largest entertainment city will be forced by Tezzolo to work and pay off their debts.
Although this kind of "unpaid work" is not much different from slaves... ahem.
As for other people, they are like some pirates.
If Tezolo defeats and captures them, these people will often be sent to mine by the Golden Emperor...
For example, the future "Silver Pirates Alliance"...
This Pirates Alliance organization is actually a "mining organization", which needs to provide Tezoro with a share of silver ore and a large amount of bounty every month. .
To be fair.
Tezolo’s “business” is indeed very dark.
But in this bad sea, the Golden Emperor is not so dark that Storm can't tolerate it.
Storm thought for a moment. He recalled Donquixote Doflamingo, looked at Tezzolo again, and suddenly asked.
"Tezzolo, are you interested in the 'Shichibukai under the King'?"
"Shichibukai under the King?"
Tezzoro is a little confused.
"What Lord Bailong means is..." "The Qibuhai under the King is very 'short of people' right now, and I will withdraw from this organization soon."
Storm said casually.
“After I withdraw, there will only be five people left in the Shichibukai: Hawkeye Mihawk, Sand Crocodile Crocodile, Kaixia Jinbei, Snake Girl Hancock, and Moonlight Moriah. That is to say, there are still two positions left.
"Since you have an idea about the identity of the 'King of the Dark World', maybe you will also be more interested in the identity of 'The King's Shichibukai'. "
Don Quixote Doflamingo is the two identities of "The King of the Seven Warlords" and the "King of the Dark World" at the same time.
If Tezzolo wanted to do this, Storm would not restrict him, but would be happy to see it happen.
After listening to Storm's words, Tezolo was thoughtful.
Doflamingo has built a huge family fortune by virtue of his ability, means, and dual identities, both light and dark.
It might not be a bad idea if Tezolo follows Doflamingo's path...
The Golden Emperor just wanted to accept Storm's opinion, but at this moment, he A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Lord White Dragon!"
Tezolo put away his ambition and quickly proved his loyalty.
"Since Lord Hakuryuu wants to give up his identity as King Shichibukai! Of course I will follow closely behind Lord Hakuryuu!"
Why do you want to imitate Doflamingo?
Tezolo wished he could give himself a slap in his heart.
Doflamingo has been "killed" by White Dragon!
Does he also want to be killed by Bai Long?
Ström glanced at Tezolo, he had already seen the insincerity of the other party's words.
“I’m not conducting a boring ‘loyalty test’ on you.”
Storm said generously.
"I am really dissatisfied with the world government, but your business will continue, and I will also need your 'money' to do something in the future.
"If you become the 'King of the Dark World' and 'His Majesty' Shichibukai can help you increase your wealth. Not only do I not mind, I can even help you.
“Do you think there are a little more ‘seven kings of the dark world’?”
Storm fell in love with “Old Bay” - Vegapunk.
Many research projects of this "world's largest mind" require astronomical amounts of funds and resources.
The family fortune that Storm accumulated in the past—including the gold in the golden city of Shantola—is "dead" after all.
It’s not Storm’s style to just sit back and take things for granted.
Now Storm has recruited Tezzolo. Regardless of whether he is loyal or not, he is indeed a super genius in business.
Use Tezzolo's money to support Vegapunk's scientific research, and then expand Storm's own power...
This is a very reliable development route.
That's why Storm said such a thing.
The more money Tezzolo has, the better.
After hearing Strom’s words, thoughts emerged in Tezzolo’s mind.
In the dark world, the business of the seven kings - now the six - is not clear-cut.
In fact.
I am in you, you are in me, this is the normal state of business.
In other words.
Tezolo is also doing some of the business done by the king of the dark world, but he has not done it yet...
Now that he has received the promise from Bai Long, is he Can you really make your business bigger and stronger and create brilliance?
Tezolo licked his lips gently and reported the report respectfully.
"Lord White Dragon, actually I just wanted to report to you...
"The tea party in Totland of All Nations invited seven - six kings of the dark world, and me.
“The Tea Party of All Nations has been held for many years. When Lou Feld and others attended the tea party, they had a habit of meeting in advance before the tea party.
“Basically every time A tea party for all nations, the kings of the dark world all act together.
“Because Donquixote Doflamingo was defeated by Mr. White Dragon this year, BIGMOM transferred Doflamingo’s participation qualification to me, plus Grandezo Luo is about to arrive in Totland of All Nations...
"So, the kings of the dark world plan to meet in advance on my Gran Tezoro."
This is indeed a "coincidence".
The sea is so vast.
Under normal circumstances, the kings of the dark world will not meet throughout the year.
Only a major event like the Tea Party in Totland of All Nations can gather all the kings of the dark world.
"That's a coincidence."
Ström nodded slightly and looked at Tezzolo calmly.
“How many ‘leaders’ do you think are more suitable in the dark world?”
Sitting aside, he smiled silently and rubbed his supreme sharp knife [Underworld Fire Line] with some discomfort. .
He has indeed never participated in an "evil meeting" of this level before...
Tezzolo didn't notice the small gesture of a smile on the side. He thought for a moment and did not answer Storm's question directly. Instead, he named several people one after another.
“The loan shark king Lou Feld, his business operations overlap and conflict with my business.
“The shipping king Umit, he controls the great shipping routes. Ocean transportation industry; a long-established warehouse industry, he controls the commodity warehousing industry of the Grand Line;
“Cash, logistics and warehousing, these three aspects of business are crucial to the development of a force.”
< br>“Okay, I get it.”
Storm nodded.
"The four kings of the dark world...how pleasant this sounds!"
