Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

In the middle of the 1508th year of the Hainan calendar, Jinbei, the captain of the Ryugu Castle Guards on Fishman Island, was specially recruited to join the Navy headquarters and was awarded the rank of colonel.

During the same period, Fish-Man Island dispatched two hundred young and strong males from the Fish-Man tribe to join the navy.

The navy also attached great importance to it. It immediately formed a special operations team with Jinbei as the core, all composed of members of the murloc navy, and the team was directly under Louis' command.

However, there are rumors that Jinbei, a naval captain, is deeply wary of his immediate superior, General Louis. I don’t know if this is a rumor.

At this point, after decades, fresh blood from the fish-men tribe has once again been added to the navy.

The relationship between Fishman Island and the Navy has also undergone some subtle changes.

Regarding this matter, in fact, the world government is not as miserable as Louis described and has done nothing. The attitude of the Five Old Stars is actually supportive.

But for some unknown reason, these five leaders of the world's government were unable to change the slave-holding culture of the Draco clan.

In other words...it is inconvenient to change.

But they support the matter of easing the tension between the government and Fish-Man Island.

Although there have been conflicts and acrimonies between the Navy and the world's governments in the past few years, in general, the two sides have always maintained integration in the eyes of outsiders.

What the navy did was also beneficial to their government, so there was no reason to stop it.

However, the changes in the navy were not noticed by many people.

Now, the world's attention is focused on the North Sea.

Freifans, which has occupied the first place in the "Ranking of Rich Countries in the North Sea" for many consecutive years and is regarded as an economic powerhouse in the world, has suffered a "white disease" sweeping the country.

Soon, this disease was officially named 'platinum lead disease'.

With the outbreak of platinum-lead disease, the price of platinum-lead has continued to fall, and countless people have become deeply afraid of platinum-lead.

However, while its price continues to fall, sales are rising strangely, which is incredible.

Before the platinum-lead disease broke out completely, the royal family of Frevans made a request for asylum to the world government, and Mary Joa immediately agreed.

Moreover, before leaving this chaotic country, the royal family of Freifans went completely crazy and sold all the inventory that Freifans had accumulated for many years in one go.

As a result, after they arrived in Mariegio, the world government organized a large number of internationally renowned doctors to announce that the origin of platinum-lead disease was caused by improper platinum-lead mining. The finished platinum-lead did not contain any toxins.

Naturally, no one believed it at first, but after a while, people discovered that those Tianlong people were still using platinum and lead products. Many nobles did not give up, and many people found professional institutions for testing.

The finished platinum lead really has no toxins!

As a result, the falling prices began to rebound again, and even had a crazy upward trend.

At this time, the chaotic situation in Freifans was seen by everyone. It was impossible to mine platinum and lead. Businessmen with a keen sense of smell had already seen that at least before the mining of platinum and lead resumed, its price would definitely rise. Continue to rise, even supply exceeds demand!

If we really have to wait for platinum and lead to be mined again, we don’t know when it will be.

Perhaps, it is very possible to never mine again!

As time passed, the platinum lead disease broke out and the royal family evacuated early, causing the entire country of Freifans to be in a state of no government.

The main theme of chaos covers everything here.

A large number of pirates began to loot this "famous" wealthy country. The surrounding countries were deeply afraid of platinum lead disease. Rumors about the contagious nature of this disease were also flying all over the sky.

In this situation, no party extended a helping hand to Freifans. On the contrary, several of its surrounding countries also blocked their borders.

For the world's government, there is no point in rescuing Frevans. Moreover, they are the biggest black hand behind this catastrophe, having eaten a huge amount of platinum and lead stockpiles.

You only need to wait two or three years, when the price of platinum and lead reaches its peak, and then dump it and make a lot of money!

And platinum-lead disease is indeed a terminal disease, and there is no way to save it even if you want to.

As for the three surrounding countries of Freifans, although the royal family of Freifans ran away in advance.

But its people are still very wealthy!

Now these people are suffering from platinum lead disease, and the top officials of the three surrounding countries know that the disease is not contagious, but they still allow the rumors to spread, causing even greater chaos, and are waiting for a justifiable opportunity.

When the refugees from Frevans began to attack the national border, the top leaders of the three surrounding countries understood that the opportunity had arrived!

Without any hesitation, the three neighboring countries immediately formally declared war on Freifans, and quickly sent a large number of troops to wipe out the refugees within the territory, and at the same time collect their wealth.

This once prosperous country in the North Sea, which had been prosperous for 300 years, was completely destroyed by an incurable epidemic at the end of 1508!

Countless people or forces stood on the bones of Freifans, eating with their mouths full of oil and making a lot of money.

Among them, the Navy, which prides itself on being just, is also included.

In this world, maybe it is so cruel.

Smoker has been secretly purchasing platinum and lead since mid-to-late 1507. In 1508, he cooperated with Doflamingo who came to visit him. In addition, with the financial support of the Navy Headquarters behind him, he was considered a big player. Make extra money.

At this time, in Beihai, a residence of the Don Quixote family...

Doflamingo was talking to Smoker.

Smoker in this story now is stronger than at his peak in the original work. After all, in this timeline, he was not sent to the fish pond in the East China Sea to waste his years.

On the contrary, at a young age, around 17 years old, he was 'kicked out' of the Navy headquarters by Louis and became a pirate, constantly learning about the dangers of this world.

Coupled with his natural Devil Fruit, the solid foundation he laid in the military academy, and his fighting experience over the years, Doflamingo would not dare to underestimate Smoker anyway.

It is even more impossible to kill Smoker directly like in the original story, on the abandoned Punk Hassad Island.

The strength of the two of them...should be about the same now, right?

Doflamingo was holding a red wine glass and shaking it constantly, but his eyes were turned to Smoker who was sitting on the sofa opposite in the courtyard, puffing away at three cigars, and said with a smile:

"Smorg, the platinum and lead business in Frevans has almost come to an end, and our cooperation in this regard can also be said to have been terminated.

However... regarding the business relationship between Good Luck Lai Company and my Don Quixote family, I would like to go deeper and not let the friendship we have accumulated over the past year of fighting side by side be dissipated, Fu Fu. Fu…”

Smoker nodded. The acquisition of platinum and lead has come to an end, and there is basically no reason to continue.

Next, just wait for the World ZF Show operation.

As for the cooperation with the Don Quixote family and the Good Luck Company, there is nothing to say. As the Windless Zone continues to develop, Smoker has more and more supplies. Doflamingo can eat it. He can give you as much as you want. There is no reason not to cooperate.

So Smoker nodded and said: "Of course, I also like to be able to cooperate with a smart guy like you."

"Fufufufufufu... We are the same kind of people..." Doflamingo adjusted his glasses and said with a grin.

Doflamingo has been paying attention to Smoker since he came to the company to bring good luck, and the more he watched, the more he admired him.

This skill and ability are really extraordinary. Unlike Bartholomew Bear and Mihawk, they have not fully utilized the power of the King's Shichibukai. They don't even know what those two guys are occupying the position for?

Smoker is the real talent!

Coupled with the fact that Smoker cooperated with him to acquire Platinum Lead, Doflamingo even felt like he had found a confidant.

As for where Smoker got the inside information, Doflamingo didn't think much about it.

He is King Shichibukai. Who knows what kind of agreement he has with the world government. Maybe it was the people above who told Smoker!

In short, Doflamingo feels that perhaps with the help of Smoker's resources and access, his Don Quixote family can reach a higher level!
