Pirates' Max Level System

But this did not mean that the world was at peace. After the Five Elders were resurrected, the Navy quickly announced that it would evacuate most of its fleet from the New World in the latter half of the Grand Line, where the war was raging.

No one knows the specific details of how the Five Elders and Kong Kong communicated. However, on the second day after the Five Elders were resurrected, Kong Kong hurriedly went to talk with the Five Elders, and that night he rushed back to the Marine Headquarters in Marinford to begin mobilizing the fleet in the New World.

By the time outsiders received this news, except for a few member states of the World Government, there was no trace of the naval fleet in the second half of the Grand Line.

Coupled with the disbanding of the coalition and the shifting power of each faction, a new round of war for the New World's territory is about to begin. Right now, it's just a test between the pirate groups of various factions, giving their own factions ample time to prepare.

During this period of turmoil, Fishman Island and Ryuyun seemed to have disappeared from everyone's sight. Fishman Island announced that it would temporarily close its borders to outsiders, so Fisher Tiger and Jinbe led the Sun Pirates to dock at the entrance of the underwater tunnel next to the Sabaody Archipelago.

One night, an unidentified ship sneaked up on the Sun Pirates. The people on board claimed to be envoys sent by the World Government to discuss compensation with Liuyun.

After confirming the other party's identity, Fisher Tiger did not dare to neglect the matter of Flowing Cloud God and took him to Fishman Island. At this time, Fishman Island was brightly lit and there were construction sites everywhere.

In a room in Dragon Palace City, Qin Luo turned into Liuyun and met the envoy from the World Government.

"I didn't expect that the Five Elders would come in person as messengers." Qin Luo was also a little surprised, not to mention Tsunade who appeared with him.

After the World Government's messenger took off his hooded cloak, it turned out to be the beige-haired Five Elders who was killed by Qin Luo in the end.

"It's an honor for me to be spoken of so by Flowing Cloud God. But this is the only way to express our sincerity." The beige-haired Five Elders lowered their stance, their movements somewhat stiff. For eight hundred years, he had become accustomed to being high and mighty.

But Liuyun was different. After discussion among the remaining four of the Five Elders, they all agreed that Liuyun was not to be trifled with.

"You misunderstood. I meant that you would actually leave the holy land of Mary Geoise, that tortoise shell." Qin Luo laughed mercilessly, causing Tsunade to burst into laughter.

The five elders with beige hair: ""

From the beginning, the beige-haired Five Elders were ready. The worst-case scenario was that he would have to wait for another resurrection, so he endured even this little bit of ridicule as long as he could achieve his goal.

When Tsunade stopped laughing, Qin Luo continued: "I'm very curious why you came to Fishman Island this time. Have you prepared enough devil fruits?"

Qin Luo didn't think the other party could take out 700 devil fruits at once, even if the other party was the World Government that controlled the Devil Fruit Tree. If the World Government could really do it, Qin Luo would have to reconsider the hidden strength of the World Government.

"God Liuyun, I came here for this matter. We can't hand over 700 devil fruits within two years because the number is too large and the time is too tight." After saying that, the five elder stars with beige hair looked straight at Qin Luo, without any timidity or retreat.

Meanwhile, the beige-haired Five Elders were thinking: MMP! If he hadn't died last and agreed to Liuyun's request, he wouldn't have gotten to be the messenger. It's over. Looking at Liuyun's expression, I guess I'll have to wait for his resurrection again.

Chapter 536 Finalizing Compensation

As if to prevent the air from suddenly becoming quiet, after the beige-haired Five Elders finished speaking, both sides remained silent for nearly a minute.

The beige-haired Five Elders stared at Qin Luo intently, not wanting to lose in terms of momentum. Qin Luo, on the other hand, initially just wanted to put some pressure on the Five Elders, so he was looking at the scenery on the other side of the window, his mind wandering. But then, sorry, Qin Luo got distracted.

Until Tsunade noticed that something was wrong with Qin Luo, she quickly coughed a few times to draw Qin Luo's attention back. However, the effect Qin Luo wanted had been achieved. During this minute, the beige-haired Five Elders were in a state of anxiety, and a lot of sweat appeared on their foreheads unconsciously.

"That is to say, not only did you not bring any devil fruits this time, you also wanted me to reduce the number of devil fruits I demanded as compensation. Five Elders, you have a good plan, but why should I agree to a deal that has no cost?" Qin Luo said indifferently, his words revealing that it would be difficult for me to deal with you if you do this.

"We dare not. Our idea is to reduce some devil fruits and replace them with other things. For each devil fruit, the World Government will use twice the market price as compensation." The beige-haired Five Elders spoke quickly.

"Double, you mean you're just sending me off by printing a bunch of white paper into banknotes?" The world government has the ability to produce currency. Now that the world government's currency is still the main currency in circulation, asking them to repay with money is no different from asking them for a bunch of white paper.

Qin Luo revealed the secret in his heart, and the beige-haired Wu Laoxing began to sweat profusely.

After the Five Elders and others were resurrected, they first dealt with the civil unrest in the World Government, the problems in the newspaper media, and the affairs of the navy.

The previous problems were solved smoothly, but some problems arose during the final discussion about the 700 devil fruits promised to Liuyun.

No one blamed the beige-haired Five Elders for easily promising Liuyun seven hundred Devil Fruits; any of them would have agreed. But the blame still had to be borne, and so the beige-haired Five Elders became the undisputed envoy to Fishman Island.

The Five Elders concluded that it would be best to use Pele to replace most of the Devil Fruits, and secondly, to extend the delivery time to at least five years. Seven hundred Devil Fruits would be impossible for even the World Government to produce without using the sealed batch.

"Of course not. What I mean is that the World Government wants to replace it with something else, such as..."

At this point, the beige-haired Five Elders paused, pondering over supplies, personnel, territory, and so on. Perhaps remembering the ongoing reconstruction of Fishman Island, an idea struck him as he continued, "Supplies. The World Government is willing to pay double, no, triple, the market value of supplies in exchange for Devil Fruits."

The beige-haired Five Elders felt they had grasped the key point. Even if Liuyun had countless money, it wouldn't be fast enough to procure the supplies they needed from the world. But the Five Elders were different. With just one order, the World Government would be in motion, gathering the supplies in minutes.

As for the issue of tripling the market price, printing one pile of paper is printing, but printing two piles of paper is not printing anymore. The only difference is that the printed paper is not for Liuyun but for those merchants. As for whether this will cause economic fluctuations in the world, the Five Elders can no longer care about that.

After waiting for a while, the beige-haired Five Elders welcomed Qin Luo's concession.

"This is somewhat interesting."

Qin Luo has been troubled by the supply problem lately. Neptune has reported to Qin Luo more than once that there are too many building materials and various raw materials in short supply, and the slow pace of procurement has seriously delayed the construction of Fishman Island.

But what could Qin Luo do? After the market on Fishman Island was destroyed and temporarily closed, the Sabaody Archipelago was also affected by a series of turmoil, and fewer merchants came here. And the various supplies that needed to be replenished were in great demand. Relying on the small merchants in Sabaody was simply a drop in the bucket.

The ransoms that the allied forces have paid are either devil fruits or treasures. Asking these professional pirates to give Qin Luo supplies is like asking a monk to repay a debt with his hair. It is impossible.

In the spirit of striking while the iron is hot, the beige-haired Five Elders proposed his own idea. He held up four fingers and said, "Four hundred Devil Fruits. The World Government intends to use material compensation for four hundred Devil Fruits. Of course, we also hope that the Cloud God can give us some time. Two years is too short. We need at least five years."

Qin Luo laughed out loud. The World Government was really brave. They wanted to reduce the number of devil fruits by more than half.

"Why do I need so many supplies? Or do you think you can come up with supplies that are worth as much as the devil fruit?"

The only other material with a value close to that of a Devil Fruit, besides Seastone, is the concentrated extract of the mineral Dinahite, which is also the bomb that Zephyr later stole. However, both of these are strategic materials for the Navy and the World Government. The former is small in quantity, but the latter is impossible to give away at all.

The initial setback didn't surprise the beige-haired Five Elders. As long as Liuyun was willing to negotiate, his mission would be accomplished. He had just been testing the waters, similar to offering the lowest price during bargaining.

Retracting one finger, the beige-haired Five Elders said, "300, five years."

"No, 100. Five years is enough." Qin Luo shook his head and said.

"250." One hundred is too few. If the beige-haired Five Elders agreed to Qin Luo's request immediately, they would only need 500 devil fruits.

"150, that's my bottom line. I'll give you ten years to exchange for these devil fruits, but you have to hand over half of the supplies within three months, and the rest within one year." Qin Luo acted as if he was willing to accept it, and if not, he'd send you away.

Qin Luo's gradual bargaining was directly disrupted. The beige-haired Five Elders considered it for a moment, and finally accepted Qin Luo's conditions. It was fifty less than expected, but the time was doubled.

Qin Luo left first, leaving the matter of what kind of compensation to use to Tsunade and Neptune to discuss with the Five Elders. They knew the supplies that Fishman Island lacked the most. The specific items would be listed on a list and taken back by the beige-haired Five Elders.

This process will be very long, so Qin Luo has no intention of participating.

Chapter 537: The Living Guardian Family

After staying on Fishman Island for two full days, the beige-haired Five Elders finally got the list of all the compensation supplies and left.

Even for the Five Elders, who possessed the mutated Life Fruit, the entire negotiation process was incredibly difficult. The twenty-meter-long list of supplies would send shivers down anyone's spine. He now held the list in the form of a scroll.

Over the past two days, Tsunade and Neptune had been taking turns bargaining with the beige-haired Five Elders. From the beginning, they'd argue over the quantity and calculate the value of each item, but in the end, no matter what the other side said, the Five Elders would always reply with a "Sure, no problem."

There was no way out. The beige-haired Five Elders was on the verge of collapse by the end. He had grossly underestimated his two opponents: a woman with decades of experience in the casino business, and a man obsessed with accounting. He was no match for either, let alone being outmatched.

The beige-haired Five Elders made up their minds that after returning, they would ask their men to calculate the value of the materials on the list. As long as the difference was not too big, more would be fine. He really didn't want to come to Fishman Island again.

When the beige-haired Five Elders left 600, Qin Luo also came to see him off. Because at the same time that the Five Elders brought back the list, a ceasefire agreement was also signed under the witness of both parties.

A solemn and sacred contract, with both parties’ names signed on it, an agreement is reached under the witness of the gods, ushering in precious peace.

The above were all empty words. This treaty was just a piece of paper that could be torn at any time. Neither the Five Elders nor Qin Luo cared. It was more of a formality, meaning that this sea would usher in a new chapter. A short-lived peace, at least until the World Government paid off its debts.

At the same time, the Five Elders were also given a piece of intelligence related to the Undead Fleet, which was the result of recent research by O'Hara's scholars.

Compared to the World Government, the Navy, and the pirates, the Undead Fleet is actually an unstable factor. Qin Luo doesn't mind doing a favor, but only hopes that the World Government can protect civilians more. The same information was also sent to Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, and others. Who knows when these people will confront the Undead Fleet.

During this period of bustling activity among the World Government, the Navy, pirates and Fish-man Island, the Undead Fleet traveled from the West Sea to the South Sea and awakened the Second Fleet sealed in the Lost Sea, which was the fleet captain that Ayi Du said had a good relationship with him.

Wherever the Undead Fleet passed, waves of blood and gore were unleashed. Countless port towns that were unable to escape, as well as ships encountered by the Undead Fleet, civilians and pirates alike, became food for the Undead Fleet.

However, with the tragic experience of the West Sea in the past and the hype in the newspapers and media, many people fled, which made the casualties in the South China Sea far less than those in the West Sea.

There are two pieces of bad news.

There are all kinds of birds in the forest. As the Undead Fleet became more and more well-known to the world, a church that worshipped the Lady of Death suddenly emerged.

This wasn't the church Ayi Du belonged to, but a new church some people had deduced based on some surviving historical records and reports of the Undead Fleet. Most of its members were world-weary and annihilating lunatics, true lunatics and a cult.

Similar churches have appeared all over the world. These lunatics are doing all kinds of crazy things in the name of the Church of Death, causing panic and seizing other people's finances.

The other bad news is that the guardian family of the South Sea is still alive, but has declined and no longer has the glory of the past. This family stood up and fought to the death when the Undead Fleet invaded the Lost Sea.

According to a fearless reporter observing from afar, the special mystical arts practiced by this family have miraculous effects on these undead spirits. Their effects are similar to the mystical arts of the church in the Saint's City in the New World in the second half of the Grand Line.

However, because this guardian family was so weak, facing the fleets of Ayidu and Xialinduo, it was like an egg hitting a rock. It was quickly submerged by the Sea of ​​Undead. And beings like Ayidu and Xialinduo did not even make a move.

Finally, the old man, who was supposedly the patriarch of the Guardian family, held a white jade stone and emitted a large amount of holy light, destroying a large number of undead. He was then killed by a high-level undead (Bonewood). This also meant that a sealing talisman fell into the hands of the undead fleet.

According to the research of scholars Olivia and O'Hara, the four sealing runes should be the key to unlocking the seal of Lady Death, the deity served by the Church of the Undead.

That's right, Lady Death wasn't dead; she was sealed. According to Olivia's research, Lady Death was some kind of strange life form, and it was she who created the immortal Undead Fleet.

After unlocking the seal of the Second Fleet in the Lost Sea, the three combined Undead Fleets began to sail towards the North Sea.

"Qin Luo, I want to go to the South China Sea."

Located in the Sky Island Golden City of Shandora, the current residence of the O'Hara survivors, in a study-like room, Olivia said to Qin Luo firmly.

Ever since Fishman Island was attacked by the united forces, many supplies on Fishman Island that were inconvenient to move and hide were sent to Sky Island by Qin Luo.

With this supply, the former god Ganfor and Dr. Kuroha came together to begin the reconstruction and renovation of Sky Island. The Shandians, Angel Island residents, and the remaining Oharas moved together, replanning and reconstructing the city of Sky Island.

It must be said that with O'Hara's scholars around, planning is not a problem at all. When Qin Luo first saw the design drawings of Sky Island's future new city, the Sky City, he was truly amazed. Now the new city of Fishman Island, Atlantis New City, has borrowed a lot from the design of Sky City.

It can be said that the two islands under Qin Luo's command are under construction at this time. Qin Luo came to Sky Island this time, firstly to respond to Olivia's invitation, and secondly to deliver some necessary supplies.

"You want to find the Guardian Family." Qin Luo said to Olivia after closing the travelogue in his hand. This travelogue was found on Olivia's desk. It recorded the travel notes written by a bard who traveled in the South China Sea hundreds of years ago. One of the articles mentioned the Guardian Family.

"But according to the news, that family has all been killed when the Undead Fleet wreaked havoc." Qin Luo meant to refuse.

"No, for a thousand-year-old family like this, continuing the family line is as important as the mission, so there must be descendants of the family hiding somewhere in the South China Sea." Olivia was unusually firm.

Chapter 538: Departure to the South China Sea

Qin Luo originally planned to say that it would not be too late to go there after the intelligence personnel of the Security Bureau established an intelligence network there. In this way, he would give up Olivia's plan to go to the South China Sea to find the Guardian Family.

But then he thought again, his security bureau had just set up operations in the Sabaody Archipelago, and it would be impossible to extend it to the South China Sea in the short term.

In the end, Qin Luo did not come up with such a lame excuse, but chose to support Olivia.

"Whenever you leave, I'll go with you."

Qin Luo actually refused in his heart. He had been busy with the captives for the World Government and the United Forces for a while. Now that he had some free time, Qin Luo wanted to find a place to experience the sunshine, the beach and the beauties. However, Qin Luo was still worried about Olivia going to the South China Sea alone.

You know, although O'Hara was destroyed under the "watch" of the Navy, no one witnessed whether Olivia returned to O'Hara, so the bounty on Olivia is still there.

A beautiful woman who is not very good at fighting, but has a bounty of over 100 million yuan. She is also a survivor of O'Hara and can interpret historical texts, know the lost history, and the news of the three ancient weapons.

All these factors made Olivia very popular. As long as Olivia showed up, all forces would be attracted by her.

Olivia's nickname "O'Hara's Pandora" was not given casually by the world, indicating that wherever she appears, she will bring disaster.

"I want to hand over the work at hand to Dr. Kuroha and then leave. The specific time is 2 pm." Olivia stopped writing and looked at Qin Luo with a smile. She saw that Qin Luo had been idle recently, so she had thought of asking Qin Luo to go with her early in the morning. Qin Luo's ability to teleport people is really convenient for traveling around.

travel……

It seems that there is a plan to travel to Olivia in the South China Sea, and Qin Luo is the best means of transportation.

Oh, woman. But Qin Luo knew nothing about this.

Looking at the time, it wasn't long until two in the afternoon, so Qin Luo said, "Then I'll go back and prepare. I'll come back to pick you up at two o'clock."

After returning to Ryugu City, Qin Luo immediately found Tsunade and Neptune and said that he was going to the South China Sea and that the matters of Fishman Island and Liuyun Palace would be handed over to them.

In the face of Tsunade's contemptuous eyes, Qin Luo gave in and promised to come back often. Taotu volunteered to monitor Qin Luo closely, of course, she just wanted to skip work.

Before two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Luo appeared at the gate of Olivia's villa on Sky Island. When he appeared again, it was no longer just Qin Luo. Beside him, there were two other people beside him, in addition to Taotu, who was traveling on public funds.

Suigetsu Hozuki and Kisame Hoshigaki.

While making preparations in Dragon Palace City, Qin Luo thought that this trip to the South China Sea to find the Guardian Family would require intelligence gathering, which would require professional manpower. He couldn't let Qin Luo collect intelligence inefficiently every time.

There must be many forces in the South China Sea looking for this Guardian family. Whether it is the secret technique that can restrain the undead or the information related to the undead fleet, it affects the hearts of many forces. Qin Luo has a premonition that a fight is inevitable.

So Qin Luo simply handed over two intelligence officers and thugs.

First, he used Den Den Mushi to call back Hozuki Hozuki from the Sabaody Archipelago. Then, he spent 26,000 points to summon Kisame Hoshigaki from the system.

One of these two is from the Hozuki clan, and can use the secret technique of water escape, which allows him to turn any part of his body into liquid form. The other can integrate Samehada into his body, transforming into a mermaid and moving rapidly in the water.

There is no doubt about the naval combat capabilities of these two people. The pirate world is simply their home ground.

When Qin Luo arrived, Olivia was already waiting with a small bag on her back, and in her hand was the travel book that Qin Luo had flipped through.

The number of people increased a bit. Although Olivia was a little surprised, she didn't ask anything. She thought Qin Luo would tell her on the way.

After gathering all the personnel, Qin Luo and others embarked on a journey to the South China Sea.

Olivia felt her eyes go dark as she entered the familiar divine power space. In the blink of an eye, a new exit appeared in front of Olivia and the others. Qin Luo had already arrived in the South China Sea and released them from the divine power space.

Crossing the exit of the Shenwei Space, although she had moved through the Shenwei Space more than once or twice, this feeling similar to a space door still made Olivia feel very novel.

Bright sunshine, gentle sea breeze. If it were not known that the Undead Fleet had just arrived in the South China Sea some time ago, no one would have thought that such a peaceful place had just experienced a catastrophe.
