Chapter 43: Yang Mou
"Goha! Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Whitebeard couldn't help but laugh and grinned, and didn't seem to doubt much.
In fact, his impression of Edward was limited to black curly hair, after all, black hair was a relatively rare thing, and as for his appearance and breath, even if he remembered it, he would have forgotten it.
Moreover, the person who can withstand the power of darkness in his body is rare in a hundred years, and two of them appear in the same era, and one of them replaces the other, which is too mysterious even to them.
"It is said that eating boiled kelp can cure baldness, hahaha. ”
"Even if you're bald, there's no need to grow your short black hair, you're a pirate, will pretending to be of noble blood make your robbery smoother?"
"I don't think he's bald, he just happens to grow taller than his hair!
Hearing that his subordinates were still giggling and saying some bastard things, Whitebeard quickly tightened his eyebrows, felt a little unbearable on his face, and immediately stretched his face and scolded:
"That's enough! How long are you going to laugh?"
"......" The pirates were suddenly silent.
When the atmosphere on the deck returned to quiet and solemn, the corners of Whitebeard's mouth were slightly grinning, revealing a row of healthy and intact white teeth, and his eyes were staring at the black-haired knight, and suddenly he asked in a loud voice:
"How are you going to manage Charlotte's territory after you replace her?"
"Management?"
Ya Lei showed a thoughtful expression, and there was a burst of vigilance in his heart, the other party's words were almost directly asking him about his ruling philosophy, and he could take this opportunity to give these pirates a mind guide.
"Charlotte Lingling's rule in the Candy Sea is terrible! For her own selfish desires, she frantically oppresses the island countries under her rule, and tosses them into poverty, which is really undesirable. ”
The black-haired knight's mind was in a hurry, and he first told a great truth that everyone agreed, and then began to premeditately peddle illicit goods:
"Uncharted is the home of all pirates, and we have relied on natural hazards and self-struggle to obtain our own paradise. But, don't you think there's a fatal flaw here?"
"Flawed?" Whitebeard and the pirate leaders looked thoughtful.
"Prices! Prices are ridiculously expensive!"
Yalei clenched his right fist, raised it in front of his chest, and roared with righteous indignation:
"What is the reason why prices are ridiculously expensive? It boils down to the fact that we lack commodities and have to buy most of our supplies from outside, enriching a bunch of hateful middlemen. We could have enjoyed more material things, but now we have been divided by profiteers, and we are at a loss!"
"That's right! Lao Tzu has also been unhappy with those middlemen for a long time. ”
"That's right, why should we put up with prices a hundred times higher than the outside world, do we owe them!?"
"Kill those profiteers!"
The black-haired knight's words really poked the sore spot of the pirate leaders, and instantly ignited their resonance. After all, it is not easy to loot some wealth from a group of islanders, and it is really aggrieved to be wronged by a group of profiteers.
“......”
Whitebeard squinted at him, not agreeing or disagreeing, and listening attentively.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Yalei opened his voice and roared, suppressing everyone's voices, and continued to peddle the long-planned private goods:
"Killing profiteers is not the solution to the problem, what we really need to do is to solve the problem of our commodity supply. To solve the problem of commodity supply, it is necessary to solve the problem of market and raw material supply. In the uncharted sea, we have one hundred and four island countries, and they are adjacent to the sea, so it stands to reason that raw materials and transportation are not a problem. But why, are we still short of goods, have you thought about it?"
“......”
The pirates shook their heads in unison, it was easy for them to cut people, but it was really embarrassing for them to understand the economy.
"The market!"
The black-haired knight remained calm, and explained loudly with the same expression:
"We lack a vibrant business, we lack merchants to maintain business operations, and all this comes down to the fact that there is no unified big market! If you think about it carefully, the biggest difference between the local merchants and the outside merchants is not that the profiteers from other places face all our pirates, while the local traders are only satisfied with their own small economic circles?
“......”
The deck was as quiet as a mystery, and Blackbeard's deafening voice echoed in the ears of the pirates over and over again. The truth has been explained so clearly, after these big bosses with not stupid brains figured out the key, they woke up one after another:
"Okay, that makes sense!"
"If you think about it, isn't it that simple!"
"It turns out that the key problem of our poverty is the fragmentation of the market, and I feel really right. ”
The pirates all showed expressions of approval, followed by a burst of whispers, and the deck suddenly "buzzed" like tens of thousands of flies.
"Everyone!"
After the black-haired knight shouted twice, indicating that he had something to say, the pirate leaders quickly quieted down.
It seems that the private goods you are peddling have worked!
He was snickering in his heart, and there was still a passionate expression on his face, and he continued to add loudly:
"So, I plan to integrate with the Whitebeard Pirates' sphere of influence in the market. I own twenty island nations, and Whitebeard owns thirty-two island nations, adding up to fifty-two island nations! Once this market is combined, we will be able to create our own high-quality goods, and we will no longer have to endure the exploitation of those profiteers!"
“......”
All the pirate leaders showed expressions of interest, but the father didn't speak, and they couldn't express their position, so they could only look at Whitebeard, expecting his reaction.
"Good idea. ”
Whitebeard didn't directly agree, but he didn't mean to resist - because what the other party said was indeed reasonable, benefiting others and himself, and his position was all on the side of the pirates, and his ass couldn't be more right. If you fail, you won't lose anything, and if you succeed, you'll get rich, and there's no reason to refuse.
"I sincerely hope that you will say yes. ”
Yalei's face was full of sincerity, and he took the expression of the pirate leader into his eyes, and his heart immediately had seven points of certainty.
When the market is bigger, there will be more money, and if there are more ships and cannons, the Blackbeard and Whitebeard pirates will grow further.
Then, the pirate boss who tastes the sweetness will definitely devote himself to expanding the market, whether it is integration or military conquest, and finally will inevitably lean towards a unified large market.
At this time, there is a great need for a political entity to control this market, and in this environment, the birth of One Piece is a matter of adapting to the times and the will of the people - this is legitimacy. (To be continued.) )
