From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 214 discusses how to subdue the Golden Emperor and the answer is to kill the Celestial Dragons.

Due to the demise of the Don Quixote family, major problems arose in the operation of the dark world in the New World. Without such a middleman, many businesses were no longer as convenient as before.

Under such circumstances, Baroque Works quickly announced that it would fully enter the new world, which immediately eased the impatience of many people.

For some ambitious people who have failed to rise to power, the fall of the Don Quixote family is actually an opportunity for them. If they can seize this opportunity and work hard for a few years, they may be able to become a figure like Doflamingo.

But for the big guys in the new world, what they need more is a stable situation. Instead of allowing some ambitious people to grow slowly and replace the original functions of the Don Quixote family, it is better to let the Baroque Works take over quickly.

In this way, the impact on their business can be recovered in the shortest possible time.

For this reason, Baroque Works' entry into the new world was relatively smooth, especially since the Golden Emperor Gild Tesoro, who had a high status in the dark world, publicly supported this matter at the first opportunity, allowing the other bigwigs to follow suit and make the same choice.

"Generally speaking, it's just a matter of time. We haven't encountered any problems that cannot be solved. However, there are still some things that I need to discuss with you. The Don Quixote family has been involved in many not-so-good businesses in the dark world in the past, such as human trafficking and the like. When Crocodile was still here, our Baroque Works was also doing these things, but later you said you didn't want to do it anymore, so we didn't continue. Now these businesses..." Robin said here, looking at Bane with a questioning look in his eyes.

"By human trafficking, do you mean the slave trade?" Bane asked.

"It's only a part of it. There are even more cruel ones. If we break down human trafficking into smaller parts, it naturally involves some darker things, such as organ trading. Of course, there are also more relaxed ones. As you know, the New World and other seas are always not very stable. This leads to a large number of refugees. These refugees often sell themselves when they are desperate. This is also a big part of the human business. The human traffickers in the dark world will treat these people as cheap labor and resell them to organizations in need. Although they are not slaves, they are not much better than slaves." Robin introduced.

For example, some people will sign harsh contracts and then be sold to mining companies and sent to mine, saying that they will be free in five to ten years, but can they survive for so many years in such a place?

It is highly unlikely.

"What do you think?" Ben asked after thinking for a moment.

If Robin had no idea, she would not have mentioned this matter. Just like what she did before in Alabasta, she would have cut off the business and ignored it.

"Recently, Melview has a great demand for population, and our Baroque Works has also made some arrangements in this matter, so I was thinking, can we just make some cuts and cut off those darker ones, but can we choose to continue to buy some refugees and send them to Melview? From a certain perspective, this can be considered as doing a good thing, right?" Robin asked.

"Then let's do as you say." Bane nodded and agreed.

"As for the matter of arms, I have reached some cooperation with the royal family of Alabasta before. The Nefertari clan spent a lot of money to build several military production lines. The annual output is enough to arm hundreds of thousands of troops. However, Dr. Genos doesn't seem to look down on the quality of these arms. So he is ready to stop cooperation with the Nefertari clan and no longer buy arms from them. He plans to produce them by himself." Robin paused here.

Then, she said helplessly: "I made a lot of promises to the Nefertari clan at the beginning, which made them determined to invest heavily in these production lines. Now they want to withdraw before we have cooperated for long. Although they are not likely to threaten us, they will definitely have a certain impact on the reputation of our Baroque Works."

"So what do you mean?" Bane raised his eyebrows.

"I'm thinking, why don't we get involved in the arms business? The whole world is in such chaos right now, and even if there are no pirates causing chaos, there are still many places where wars are happening, especially in the New World. The doctor doesn't like the arms produced in Alabasta, but there are many people who want them. With the channels of our Baroque Works, we can completely sell these arms in the dark world, but the only thing we need to pay attention to is that currently the largest arms dealer in the entire dark world is the Beasts Pirates. If we want to get involved in arms, we will inevitably provoke the Beasts Pirates." Robin analyzed.

The larger the pirate group, the less likely it is that they can rely solely on looting and other means to maintain themselves.

Of course, the Whitebeard Pirates are a weird group, but they also live a tight life because of that. As the strongest man in the world, Newgate can't even drink freely and has to rely on his sons for support. It's really uncommon.

In contrast, the Big Mom Pirates directly established a country and used taxation and other means to meet their financial needs. Although the Beasts Pirates have not evolved to this point, they also have their economic pillar, which is the arms business.

"Why are you afraid of Kaido?" Ban said arrogantly, "With the current strength of our G-6 Navy alone, it is enough to wipe out the entire Beasts Pirates. It's just that I don't have this plan for the time being, and it's not cost-effective, so just go for it. If Kaido has any objections, I will talk to him personally!"

Hearing Bane's tough words, Robin pretended to be very admiring, and said with sparkling eyes: "You are so awesome, Master Bane~"

Ben knew that this guy was teasing him again, and he didn't fall for it at all. He quickly continued, "You can make your own decisions on these matters, but according to the current situation, Baroque Works must also focus on future macro-design, division and upgrade, and can't continue to plunge all of its brains into the dark world." Robin sat up straight after hearing this, opened the notebook on the table, pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said seriously, "What's the general direction?"

"Currently, the entire Melview's funding sources mainly come from three sources. One is the military funding support from the Navy Headquarters, which can be ignored. If I want to be a navy admiral quietly, then there is naturally no problem. But if we want to develop Melview according to the current plan, these funds are simply a drop in the bucket." Bane said.

"The second source of funds is the huge gold reserves in my hands. There is no need to say more about this. According to the current plan, we will never be able to spend it all. However, if such a huge gold reserve continues to flow into the market like it is now, there will be no problem in the short term. Over time, it will inevitably lead to a rapid drop in the price of gold. At that time, we will be the ones who suffer the greatest losses, which is not good. Therefore, the third funding chain of your Baroque Works is particularly important." Bane said in a deep voice.

"I understand." Robin nodded immediately and said, "You hope that our Baroque Works can gradually upgrade from a simple dark world organization to a qualified financial institution, right?"

"Yes, if we disorderly release the gold in my hands into the market, we will have to bear the consequences ourselves. But if we use the gold as a reserve through the Baroque Works, establish a qualified and complete financial organization with the corresponding strength and resources, and be able to reasonably allocate the use of gold, then we won't have to worry about these things. At the same time, we can also sort out our currently very chaotic financial logistics, put the entire Melview on the right track of sustainable development, and have the strength to resist the world government's use of financial means to suppress us." Bane said.

Currently, the world's common currency is the Bailey.

But Bailey is issued by the world government. For them, it is just a piece of paper, right? This is also a powerful means for the world government to maintain its dominance.

Deal with your enemies through economic interference.

For example, if there is no means to resist this impact, once the world's governments are forced into a corner, they will burn their boats and start overissuing currency with the mentality of dying together, causing the currency to depreciate rapidly and become waste paper. This will be a very heavy blow to all organizations and forces in the world.

If you cannot resist this risk, you will inevitably fall into chaos.

Therefore, it is imperative to establish a financial institution that can resist risks, and Bane does have this qualification because he has a huge gold reserve. This is not paper, and you can't over-issue it at will.

"Trouble." After understanding what this meant, Robin rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm just a scholar. At most, I have some understanding of these things because of the Baroque Works, but if you want me to take the lead in setting up such a financial department, I definitely can't do it."

"That's why Tezoro is so worth looking forward to for me." Bane said with emotion.

"Then when are you free? Shall we make an appointment to meet him?" Robin asked.

"It's fine during this period of time. It's just that meeting him is very simple, but it's not so easy to subdue him, the Golden Emperor." Bane smacked his lips.

Does Tezulo have desires? Of course he does. Even though he is the richest man at present, he also has things that he cannot do, and he deeply desires this thing.

That is to kill the Celestial Dragons on Marijoa for revenge!

That's right, the famous Golden Emperor also had a shameful past. He once suffered as a slave on Marijoa. It was not until Fisher Tiger launched the slave liberation movement that his luck turned.

But he also lost the only love of his life during those tragic times.

In his Golden City, celestial dragons often go there to play. On the surface, this represents the inseparable and harmonious relationship between Tesoro and the world government.

But who could know that the Golden Emperor wanted to kill all those Celestial Dragons?

Therefore, it is very simple to subdue the Golden Emperor. All you have to do is help him kill the Celestial Dragons.
