Chapter 62: The History of the Island of Notes
Three days later, Bamel successfully rebuilt the Hades, fitted it with energy converters and 'Bamel thrusters', and not long after, escorted the children back from the battleship Surson, Hades said goodbye to the fat aristocratic inventor and watched him leave the island of Conure as well.
"Everything is ready, it's time for us to go."
Robin made another trip to the port's supply depot, and then returned to report the situation with Hades.
Hades nodded, "Did Becky send someone from the Notes family?" ”
"Not yet, but according to the agreement, it is estimated that it will be soon."
Three days ago, on the evening of seeing off Sigrid's group of children that day, Hades and Capone. Becky discussed the cooperation.
The process can be said to be smooth, or it can be said to be very smooth.
Because both sides know that if this cooperation is not reached, it means war, after all, the 'gang' knows too many secrets of Robin, for Hades, only cooperation can stop the other party's mouth, and for Becky, he needs the huge benefits brought by Hades and the two, but how to achieve cooperation and how to balance the distribution of benefits has become the key to the competition between the two sides.
As for the content of cooperation.
As Hades conjectures, Capone. Becky never wanted the ship's munitions, but the entire munitions factory on Notes Island.
In his words, long-term interests are what the Capone family values, and a small amount of arms on the ship is really not enough.
About the munitions factory on the island of Nottes.
Some people speculate that it produces one-tenth of the total number of arms and weapons in the entire West Sea each year, but Becky says that this number is definitely less, and the actual share is far more terrifying.
Historically, this island was originally an island of sinners under a large kingdom in the Western Sea, which housed a large number of pirates and prisoners in the Western Sea.
Therefore, this large kingdom relies on this island of sinners alone to pay enough heavenly gold to the world government every year, and the balance left behind can also allow their royal family to live a carefree life.
It was only later that the great kingdom was destroyed for unknown reasons, and the change of power caused the island of sinners to be freed from the kingdom's jurisdiction, and the criminals on it became the masters of the island themselves.
Hades asked Capone. Becky, since the arms factory on this island is so covetous, why don't they 'gangs' send people to recover it themselves, with the strength of Haforg and Gary, they will definitely not be able to stop Becky.
The answer was that no one other than criminals were welcome on the island, and that the leaders of the mafia families on it, without exception, were wanted bounties by the Navy, and Haforggari was just one of them.
But the most bizarre thing is that there are so many criminals and pirates, but the navy has nothing to do with them.
Because Nottes Island has been restored to the status of a member country of the world government a few years ago, relying on a small island in a small land and an arms factory on it, not only paid the heavenly gold, but also rudely demanded that no navy on the island be allowed to enter and arrest whether it is criminals or pirates.
The most terrifying thing is that the Celestial Dragons actually agreed, so the world government and navy could only agree.
In this way, Nots became a natural barrier for countless pirates to avoid the capture of the navy, and of course, countless pirates died at the hands of other pirates on this island, all in all, this is a veritable place of chaos.
Take Capone. Becky's mind now, they don't have the idea of being pirates, the Capone family is backed by the power of the Kingdom of Marcia, and is one of the five major mafia families in the West Sea, and the relationship with the navy is not bad, for the sake of an arms factory to be hunted down, the gain outweighs the loss, unless he chooses to give up the industry in other places, and retreat on the island of Notes and never come out again, of course, this is impossible.
But not recovering Notes Island in person does not mean that he does not covet the interests of the island, so he found Haforger to cooperate, and now, his goal has turned to the "sea thief" with a bounty of 79 million. Robin.
"Someone is coming!"
Suddenly, Robin saw several figures approaching.
In the harbor, she and Hades were waiting for the arrival of the last man, their guide to the island of Notres, and the younger brother who had been with Haforg.
I saw a man escorted by several Capone 'gang' mafia from a distance, who looked young, thin, and very short, only to the shoulder height of those 'gang' members.
He was also carrying a square box in his hand, which was supposed to be the head of Haforge.
Becky said that on that day, Hafort led a group of younger brothers who swam up from the sea to him for help, and he killed them all in one go, but fortunately there was a clever one who left Haforg alone after going ashore, so he lived.
Later, this little brother of Hades was still discovered by the 'gang' and wanted to dispose of it, but thinking that Hades and their first trip to Nodes Island needed a person who had lived on the island to guide them, they spared his life and sent this guy to Hades, and by the way, let him take the head of 'Haforg', so as to prove the legitimacy of Robin's party to seize power.
You must know that on that island, after the boss was killed, the person who killed him took charge of his original power, which is a normal act of regime change.
Here, the 'bandits' arrived near the Hades and did not dare to rush aboard.
It is estimated that he had the experience of the last time, and knew that Hades was very disgusted with unauthorized trespassing, so he was reminded and became polite.
"Miss Bella, Mr. Hades, we brought people, please ask for the first batch of arms that have been agreed upon......"
Before the mafia brother finished speaking, he saw a wooden box flying up from the ship in front of him, rushing into the sky, and then falling to the ground in an orderly manner according to the law, stopping in front of the mafia brother without a mistake, twenty boxes of arms were neatly arranged, even the corners were tightly sealed, and one box was pressed against one box after another.
This operation of not seeing people but only things immediately made the eyes of several people in the 'gang' widen.
I have long heard that the guy who cooperated with the godfather this time is a ruthless character, but unfortunately they didn't catch up with the first two encounters, so they came to join in the fun, wanting to see what the boiling people in the 'gang' look like in the past few days.
Is this the power of the Devil Fruit?
