Above the Pirate King

Chapter 44 Discussion
When Blood Harbor Town was making money every day, a group of people's interests were violated, so they gathered together.

West Sea, an unknown island.

There are no rich products or trees on this small island. It is just a deserted island, and no one comes here in normal times.

And today is different!
There are dozens of ships parked outside the island, big and small!

All kinds of flags are flying on the boat, and it can be seen that these are not all the way!

Central of the island.

Dozens of people gathered in a clearing.

Among this group of people, there are mafia, pirates, generals of the kingdom, president of the chamber of commerce, etc. The composition is quite complicated!

In the middle, there are five people sitting!
And there is only one reason for them to gather together, interest!

"The purpose of everyone's gathering here today, I think everyone knows it well!" The man who spoke was a man in his thirties with a back comb and a black suit, a white shirt, and a smile on his face.

He is the largest fabric supplier in Xihai, and the president of the Occam Chamber of Commerce Occam!
"Blood Harbor Town is so close that we can't survive."

"Yeah, I haven't sold a single piece of cloth last month."

"My chamber of commerce is going bankrupt at this rate."

"I can't even afford to eat!"

What Occam said instantly resonated with most of the people present.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!" An impatient voice sounded. The person who spoke was about 40 years old. Middle-aged man with cigar.

It is the patriarch of the Barney family, one of the top mafia families in Xihai, Barney Mons!

The main business is to rely on the powerful force of the family to monopolize the production, trading and supply of cloth and cloth raw materials in nearby countries!
Monopoly has always been the most profitable!
But recently his monopoly has been broken. In these kingdoms, a lot of fabrics that are much lower than his price have appeared.

Only then did he discover that Blood Harbor Town is a place where the shipping price is very low.

The shipping price in Blood Harbor Town is even lower than his cost!
The profits from it drove the merchants in the nearby kingdoms completely crazy, and they never took goods from him again!

He originally wanted to use force to threaten these merchants to take goods from him.

However, he thought about it carefully, and finally gave up on this decision. He knew the character of the merchants very well. Even if it was a monopoly before, he was only a little higher than the general market price.

The businessmen recognized him even though they held their noses, and they should pay him protection fees!

However, once huge interests are involved, these businessmen are likely to go completely crazy.

If the completely crazy merchants unite, no matter how powerful his family is, it will be enough to drink a pot!
After giving up, he thought of a way to regain monopoly.

Sell ​​all the raw materials to Blood Harbor Town, and then buy some cheap fabrics from Blood Harbor Town, and sell them to merchants at a higher price. In his opinion, merchants will be the same as before, pinch their noses and recognize it!

But in this way, his loss will be great!
Once he did this, the machines he originally used to weave were completely useless and could only be left there!
Moreover, he could earn a little from raw materials, processing, and sales, but after doing so, he would only be able to earn a little from sales in the future, and his profits fell off a cliff!
And what about the workers who help him weave cloth and produce raw materials?
Most of these are relatives of his family members and the like!
All kinds of problems followed, which made him upset and irritable, so he came up with the idea of ​​simply solving the people who caused the problems!
"Jie Jie, hurry up and talk!" A nervous voice came out, and the person who spoke was a [-] meter tall man in leather armor.

His exposed skin is like a crocodile, his teeth look very sharp, his eyes are green with vertical pupils, and there is a hideous scar on his face, from his forehead to his chin!
He is Habaka, the captain of the Killer Crocodile Pirates, offering a reward of 6000 million, which is considered the top price in the West Sea!

Although it looks like a devil fruit ability user, it is not, because its appearance and fighting style are like a crocodile, so it is nicknamed Killer Crocodile!

Unlike others, he simply wanted to trouble Blood Harbor Town, and even the entire Kingdom of St. Martin!
The reason is that the Kingdom of St. Martin defeated the famous big pirate Cone of Green Pepper!
If he wants to be more famous than the green pepper in the cone, he must defeat the Kingdom of St. Martin and Shaka!

However, although he is a little neurotic, it is not that there is a problem with his brain.

He had carefully inquired about the specific military strength of the Kingdom of St. Martin from various channels before. With his fleet, if he wanted to defeat them, he would either suffer heavy losses, or the entire army would be wiped out!
That's why he came to this party. He wanted to use the party members to assemble a large fleet to capture the town of Blood Harbor, and at the same time clean up St. Martin's army, creating a chance for him and Shaka to go head-to-head!

It's a pity that the only thing he predicted wrong was that he overestimated his own strength. He didn't know that even if he defeated the army of the Kingdom of St. Martin, with his strength at the lieutenant colonel level, he was just an ant!

"Then I'll just say it, there is only one purpose for everyone to come this time, and that is because of Blood Harbor Town!" Occam said with a smile on his face and a murderous voice.

"Hehe!" Hearing this, a bearded middle-aged man with a dignified face, wearing black long leather shoes, a black windbreaker, and a golden revolver on his waist, let out a disdainful chuckle, as if he and the crowd were aiming at Different!
He is Stankey, the general of the Kingdom of Oga!

"General Stankey, you should be the most anxious here!" It was a lazy voice.

It was issued by a beautiful woman in a red cheongsam, with a pair of slender legs exposed at the forks of the cheongsam!

Red high-heeled shoes, high heels flashing with sharp edges, blond wavy long hair, and a red satchel in his hand, he looks to be in his twenties, with a plump figure.

She is the president of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, Victoria Aidos, and the second largest fabric supplier in West Sea. Unlike Occam, her Chamber of Commerce also deals in perfumes, lipsticks, clothing, etc. in addition to fabrics.

Although she is a woman, everyone present did not dare to underestimate her, and even a little in awe of her. She was nicknamed Blood Rose in Xihai!

"Jie Jie, your Kingdom of Oga is near the Kingdom of St. Martin! If it doesn't work, they can all move and run away. At worst, they won't do this business. How do you move?" Habaka said gloatingly.

The Kingdom of Oga is one of the five kingdoms near the Kingdom of St. Maarten. It is a big producer of cloth raw materials. The main domestic resource is the raw materials for the production of cloth!
But he didn't come here this time because Blood Harbor Town sells a lot of cheap fabrics!

They mainly produce fabric raw materials, and have no direct conflict of interest with Blood Harbor Town. On the contrary, the appearance of Blood Harbor Town has given their fabric raw materials a new sales point!

It stands to reason that they should be happy!
But no, because they are located near the Kingdom of St. Martin. After the Kingdom of St. Martin destroyed the Kingdom of Felt, the five nearby kingdoms realized that a wolf had been mixed into the flock!
Under such circumstances, seeing the blood port town of the Kingdom of St. Martin selling a large number of low-priced items every day, the boats coming and going, and the daily income is huge, how could it be possible to be happy?
"Humph!" Stankey snorted lightly and did not speak again!

"Let's get down to business, I hope everyone can have some ideas on how to deal with Blood Harbor Town!" Occam said with a smile.

Most of the people here are doing business related to fabrics, and there are other businesses, but relatively few!

No way, because the use of steam engines was first used in textile mills, iron furnaces, flour mills and so on.

Among them, the iron produced by the iron smelting furnace is of course given priority to the own kingdom, as is the flour mill. Only the textile mill, in addition to providing it to the people, has a large surplus of resources.

In this case, the most shipped goods in Blood Harbor Town are fabrics!
It cannot be said that there are no other industries, but the impact is relatively small.

"Jie Jie, what's your idea? With so many people here, it's not a problem to assemble a large fleet of 5 people, right? Isn't it over if we just go there?" Habaka said with a smirk.

As soon as Habaka's voice fell, Mengs, who was upset and angry because of the incident in Blood Harbor Town, echoed, "I agree, I will send 3000 people to break Blood Harbor Town!"

"I also agree, I will offer 300 people!"

"I offer 800 people!"

"I offer 600 people!"

The heads of the various families, chambers of commerce, and pirate groups echoed.

At this time, Stankey poured cold water on it, and said quietly: "The Kingdom of St. Martin is a member country of the World Government!"

"Uh—" Everyone fell silent as if being strangled by the neck.

The name World Government is too deterrent.

Although the pirate mafia in the West Sea is rampant, it does not mean that the navy and the world government have no deterrent power.

They probably also know in their hearts that there are many mafia pirates in the West Sea, so usually the navy will not target you, but will give priority to catching those who have committed the most serious crimes!

But once you attack the allied countries, the nature is different.

The navy and the world government have appointed to chase after you!

Otherwise, how can the world government and navy have prestige?
Who else will join the world government?
Of course, it doesn't mean that the franchise countries are completely incapable of attacking. The world government will not participate in the war between the franchise countries!

But Stucky, who was present, was a general of a kingdom, and a general of an allied country!
Unless Stankey agrees to allow them to assemble in the name of the Kingdom of Oga to attack the Kingdom of St. Martin, they will not be able to gather together.

But like this, Stankey is not happy, colluding with pirates and the mafia is not a good reputation!

"Since it doesn't work, let's come up with some ideas!" Occam still said with a smile on his face.
