Chapter VIII Replenishment of Materials
After the encounter with the ghost knife, everyone on the ship was aroused. Even the usually taciturn battle captain Kimo rarely had a warm conversation with people, and everyone came out of the shadow of the last defeat. The current Klockdahl is more regarded as the backbone after that battle, but Klockdahl doesn't care.
What made Klockdahl care was the definition of the strong under this sky, although there was a definition based on Klockdahl's original memories before, but the battle with the ghost knife overturned Klockdahl's idea.
You know, the Ghost Knife is just a pirate with a bounty of 83 million Bailey. With Klockdahl not using his Devil Fruit ability, he doesn't know if he can easily beat it.
Although you can't tell the difference between strength and weakness from the bounty, you should know that the setting of the bounty is related to what the person being rewarded does. The reason why the bounty of the ghost knife is higher than that of Klokdal is because he once slaughtered the people of a small town and sank a not weak naval fleet, so that the naval headquarters will increase the bounty on him.
Moreover, in the process of fighting Klockdahl and him, it is obvious that the ghost knife has not yet comprehended domineering. The combat power of the ghost knife is more based on cooperating with the demons who engage in black hands and demon knives, and its real combat power is not strong.
But it cannot be denied that if it weren't for the restraint of the natural system against physical attacks, and the fact that Klockdahl had been open from the beginning, he would never have been arrogant. In the end, he took advantage of the moment when the ghost knife lost his mind to solve the opponent with a big move, and after amplification, Klockdal's own source power and physical strength decreased amazingly. If there is another opponent who is not weak, it will be Crocodal himself who is unlucky.
It seems that you still can't underestimate the people of the world, and with the source power bonus, you have indeed made yourself stronger. However, judging from that battle, he is still far from the real strong! Klockdahl subconsciously touched the scar on his face, damn it, there was still a long way to go to cut off his head.
At this moment, the voice of the navigator came from the deck: "I see the land, I see the land, it is an island." ”
Klockdahl looked at it, "Well, it's an island, it doesn't look small." Someone sent someone to investigate. ”
Soon, Klockdahl's order was carried out, and a small speedboat was detached from the ship, carrying three men on board to investigate the island, including the young man Roude. Klockdahl is not surprised, for the little ghost of Roude, his words will definitely be implemented as soon as possible.
Seeing the young man Roude go to the island, Klockdahl was relieved, with the strength of this little ghost, he would not be discovered.
Taking advantage of this time, Klockdahl began to plan his own plan to become stronger again. According to the idea, there are two forms of becoming stronger, one is oneself, and the other is the power gathered around oneself. As for itself, the development of the Devil Fruit's ability and the use of Source Qi can be placed on the back burner, but the lost power must be cultivated back first.
Therefore, the next stage of strength cultivation should be dominated by domineering and ** strength, supplemented by others. The former domineering can extensively restrain the various power systems in this world, especially the power of Devil Fruits. The latter** cultivates, at the peak of this world, there are a large number of physical powerhouses who do not know the devil fruit, not to mention that for the natural department, if one day loses the fruit ability, the ** strength is very weak, but it will be sent to hell. (This was the case with the historical Fire Fist Ace.) )
And the forces around you have to have subordinates to follow, like a pirate group, or occupy a territory to develop. So here's the problem, subordinates, they can still be recruited by virtue of their popularity. However, in terms of territory, it is very difficult for the New World to develop, especially if you offend Whitebeard, there is almost no way to develop.
Then the next little bit of territory is chosen in the Great Waterway, but the naval power of the Great Waterway is still very strong, if you occupy a piece of territory, there are already big wars and small wars before it develops, then where does the development come from. It seems that there is a long way to go, hey, no, in fact, these problems can be solved, it seems that after the four emperors were decided in the New World, didn't the navy and the world government immediately launch the "Seven Martial Seas Plan"? Isn't this an opportunity! As long as you get the certification of the Seven Martial Seas, you will have the territory, your subordinates, and the money, and you will become stronger just around the corner.
Thinking about it made Klockdahl feel much better, but he was also a little worried. It is true that Klockdahl achieved the status of the Seven Martial Seas in history, but after all, it was only in the plot, and various accidents occurred frequently in reality. Obviously, this is a completely different real world, how can it be completely according to the development of the plot, it seems that you have to be prepared for the worst.
After several hours of waiting, the first to inquire returned. Klockdahl learns from the words of the young man who is full of words that this is not an uninhabited island. But thankfully, this is a free port where both the government and other forces can trade freely. It seems that this time I can replenish all kinds of supplies, and I heard that there are various black market transactions on the island, so I may be able to find something interesting.
After arranging the entry into the port, Klockdahl entered the city with his men. A few purchasers took the money to purchase some daily necessities. Klockdahl also took his men for a walk, and there were all kinds of guns and people, it seems that the owner of this island is extraordinary. Eventually, in the black market, Klockdahl had the wit to buy the captives on the ship as slaves for a small profit.
In the end, he asked his subordinates to go to the guest house set up by the navy here, and later after the ghost knife pirate ship caught fire, Kimo led the team to run to the ghost knife ship to collect the property, and easily took the heads of the ghost knife and others cut off in exchange for a bounty, although there was no head of the ghost knife himself, but he also got a bounty of nearly 100 million.
With a group of young brothers who made a lot of money, they decided to go to the dockyard to repair the ship and then set off. Of course, from time to time along the way, sharp-eyed people recognized the identity of Klockdal, which caused a lot of panic in addition to surprise.
After all, Whitebeard is already a legendary sea thief, and he is one of the Four Emperors, and he is notorious all over the world. Even the prestige of Klockdahl, who had fought with him, has also increased rapidly, which has made Klockdahl from a new pirate powerhouse to a pirate supernova, and even more to the new world pirates.
This kind of awe-inspiring look was no stranger to Klockdahl, but he knew better that this awe came more from the great enemy.
So I was even more disgusted with this kind of look, and directly threw down a sentence: "I'll leave the matter here to you, and after you get it done, go directly to Donggang and prepare for the next stop." ”
Looking at Klockdahl, who had disappeared into the crowd, Captain Kimo could only helplessly follow orders.
While Klockdahl was making a big purchase, a major event happened to the Holy Land of Mary Joya on the other side of the New World.
