The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 330 Interview?

"I didn't expect Dressrosa to become so prosperous."

As Kuzan spoke, he looked around curiously, and saw that the streets were full of tourists coming and going, everyone talking and laughing, as if this was a paradise away from the world, and there was no sign that this was a place ruled by pirates.

Law did not respond. He was still skeptical about Kuzan's words. After all, Kuzan was an admiral of the navy before, and now he suddenly said that he wanted to join the pirate group. Law always felt that his words were not credible, so he just stood aside quietly without responding to Kuzan.

Kuzan didn't feel embarrassed and continued to observe everything around him.

[They're called pirate groups, but they don't even have their own flag. Among their members, only the Heart Pirates were former pirates.]

Kuzan thought to himself that this was indeed different from the pirate group he had known before, and there seemed to be a strange atmosphere everywhere.

Here, the ones who maintain order are still the former soldiers of the Dressrosa Kingdom. They wear neat uniforms and patrol in an orderly manner to ensure the peace of this land.

The fact that Dressrosa is so prosperous today actually has little to do with Weiss.

He was a complete hands-off boss, spending all his time in the laboratory with Vegapunk, often not coming out for days on end, leaving all the trivial matters outside to Luo and the others to handle.

The one who truly restored Dressrosa to its former glory and even made it even better than before was Violet.

The years she spent in the Don Quixote family were not in vain. She learned a lot there, especially in terms of doing business, which has its own set of logic.

Under her suggestion, Dressrosa was transformed into a transit station for the underground world.

They do not participate in any actual business transactions, but only extract commissions from them.

It is precisely because of this that it has attracted countless criminals.

After all, after the Battle of Marineford, the situation in the world became turbulent. It was not easy to find a place that was both safe and where everyone could rest assured to conduct transactions.

Dressrosa just happens to meet all of these conditions. It is like a safe haven in the storm, with an invisible deterrent force that prevents those with bad intentions from running wild here easily.

Unless someone thinks he is more powerful than Big Mom's pirate group, no one dares to cause trouble here.

Those who come here also abide by the rules here. They are all honest and only want to complete the transaction safely and then leave.

In this way, small amounts accumulate to make a lot, and Dressrosa can make a fortune from the commissions it collects. It is more than enough to maintain the operation of the entire country with this money.

Moreover, in addition to those who come to do underground transactions, there are also many people who come here to travel and have fun. Various entertainment venues can be seen everywhere on the streets, and it is very lively.

The people of Dressrosa all had happy smiles on their faces, which was a rare sight in this turbulent and chaotic era.

Even among the member states of the World Government, few are as wealthy as Dressrosa.

[Is this really a country ruled by pirates? ]

Kuzan looked at the prosperous and peaceful scene in front of him and couldn't help but ask himself such questions. This was completely different from what he had imagined a country under the rule of pirates would look like. He originally thought it would be a place full of chaos, burning, killing and looting, but he didn't expect the reality to give him such a big contrast.

Kuzan, at this moment, became more and more interested in Weiss.

After following Law and the others all the way, they arrived at the King's Highlands. As soon as they reached the castle gate, they saw Cyrus already waiting there. "I thought you were joking." Cyrus looked at Kuzan with a look of disbelief on his face. After all, Kuzan, once a navy admiral, was now joining the pirate camp. Anyone who heard this would find it a bit unbelievable.

So Cyrus thought deep down that Kuzan might just be joking.

"Alalalal, I need to eat too."

Kuzan responded with a smile, trying to explain his purpose with such a seemingly easy excuse.

Koro and Cyrus did not believe his words at all. In their opinion, Kuzan must have a deeper purpose in doing this.

However, whether to accept Kuzan is not something they can decide. It ultimately depends on Wes's opinion.

Several people walked all the way to the top floor of the castle. Luo went forward to open the door and saw Weiss sitting on the sofa, quietly reading a book. The warm sunlight was shining on him. The picture seemed to reveal a different kind of tranquility and peace. It was completely impossible to tell that this young man was the four emperors who were so powerful. He seemed to be just an ordinary book lover.

Weiss heard the noise and looked up at Kuzan with a faint smile on his face and asked, "Do you like coffee?"

"is acceptable."

Kuzan responded, then walked over to sit opposite Weiss, picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip. The mellow taste spread in his mouth, which was quite good.

"Do you want to join us?" Weiss put down the book in his hand, looked directly at Kuzan and asked directly.

"Yes."

Kuzan answered without any hesitation. He was still thinking that he might have to explain his ideas and the reasons for joining.

"can."

However, what Kuzan never expected was that Wes agreed so easily. All the arguments he had prepared were suddenly useless, which made him a little at a loss.

"You trust me so much?"

Kuzan widened his eyes and asked in confusion. He really couldn't understand why Wes agreed so easily. Didn't he worry that he had other intentions?

"trust?"

Weiss tilted his head, a puzzled look on his face, and continued, "We haven't even met, how can we talk about trust?"

After hearing this, Kuzan couldn't understand Weiss's thoughts anymore and was full of doubts.

"The worst-case scenario is that you're an undercover agent sent to me by the Navy and the World Government to gather intelligence and eventually kill me with the help of an insider."

Weiss said these terrifying words lightly as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

When Luo and Cyrus heard this, they immediately stared at Kuzan unfriendlyly, their eyes full of vigilance.

Especially Cyrus, his right hand had subconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword. As long as Weiss gave the order, he would attack Kuzan without hesitation.
