Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

"The overlords of the East Blue? The Krieg Pirates?"

"Not the Krieg Pirates, but the new overlord, the captain of the Mok Pirates." Hearing the leader's question, the younger brother's face showed a hint of admiration. "That's the man with a bounty of fifty million Berries!"

As soon as these words fell.

"Fifty million?" Even the usually vain Alvida was shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief. "The Mok Pirates?"

Then, looking at his still-admiring underling, he opened his mouth wide and said menacingly, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"I heard about the Moke Pirates at the market. It seems their captain has some grudge against the 16th Marine Division." The underling shuddered, then quickly continued, "So, after being put on a bounty of 50 million Berries, he suddenly issued a call to arms across the entire sea, wanting to massacre the 16th Marine Division in front of all pirates to declare his dominance in the East Blue. He even promised that if we went, we could plunder all the wealth within the 16th Marine Division without lifting a finger."

As he spoke, he handed over a bounty card for the captain of the Moke Pirates, which he had received that morning.

"A massacre of the 16th Marine Branch?" Hearing her subordinate's words, Alvida was stunned again, then burst into wild laughter, "How interesting!"

Looking at the bounty poster handed to him by his underling, he saw a burly, bald man.

Alvida's eyes narrowed slightly, then she raised her spiked club again. "My little ones, let's join this East Blue carnival and let more people see my beauty!"

The words fell.

"Alvida is the most beautiful woman in this sea."

All the underlings cheered excitedly, even the handyman Koby.

only.

Although he was also raising his hands in celebration, a hint of hesitation and reluctance flickered in his eyes.

A bloodbath at the 16th Naval Division?

How many people will die this way!

Perhaps I should find an opportunity to inform the Navy?

Amid cheers, Alvida's pirate ship slowly sailed off in one direction.

The Alvida Pirates, with a bounty of 500 million, are here!

……

The same East China Sea.

An island somewhere.

This is the territory of the Krieg Pirates, the former overlords of the East Blue.

now.

"A pirate summons? The new overlord of the East Blue?" Upon receiving the news, Admiral Krieg, captain of the Krieg Pirates, sneered. "Men, let's go too! Let me see who stole my title as the overlord of the East Blue."

"Admiral, are we going to participate too? That's declaring war on the Navy!" Seemingly sensing his captain's dissatisfaction, Gin, the fleet's combat commander of the Krieg Pirates, showed a hint of worry on his face and advised, "Besides, that guy has a bounty of fifty million on his head from the Navy. Anyone who can get such a high bounty must be a very despicable person. We don't need to provoke him. Admiral, isn't our dream to enter the Grand Line?"

however.

"Shut up! A bounty doesn't represent strength!" Klee looked at his subordinate with displeasure and said coldly, "I am the overlord of the East Sea! No one can steal my title!"

"But Admiral..."

"Go and prepare the fleet!"

"Alright!" Seeing the increasingly dissatisfied admiral, Akin could only sigh helplessly and choose to compromise. "I understand, but... how many ships and men do you need to take?"

"Get my fearless battleship, the Sabre, ready, and have everyone set off!" Krieg's eyes flashed slightly. "Plus, take all 50 pirate ships I recently bought!"

"Huh? They're all going to set off, and that's 5000 people and 50 pirate ships. Isn't that too many?"

"Shut up, bring them all!" Krick rebuked Akin, who was still questioning him, with dissatisfaction. Then, with a cold smile, he looked at the sea before him and said, "I want to see how the guy who stole my title as the overlord of the East China Sea will fight against my invincible fleet!"

The new hegemon of the East China Sea?

You haven't even asked me yet!

He waved his hand at the crowd and said, "Get ready quickly and get going!"

The 1700 million bounty on the Krieg Pirates—join the fight!

……

the other side.

The sea area near Orange Town.

"Boss, should we participate? The new overlord of the East China Sea is going to massacre the naval branch. That sounds pretty interesting."

"Shut up!" The clown with a red nose, dressed in a clown costume, and drinking alcohol rejected his underlings' invitation without hesitation. "A mere overlord of the East Sea thinks he can summon us? What does he take us for? I am Bucky, the King of the Clowns!"

The words fell.

"That's right! Captain Bucky hasn't even acknowledged the title of 'Eastern Sea Overlord' yet!"

"What's so special about being the overlord of the East Sea, with only a slightly higher bounty?"

"If you ask me, our boss is the true overlord of the East China Sea; he's just being low-key."

Upon hearing their captain's confident reply, all the crew members cheered and raised their glasses to celebrate.

But not found.

now.

Watching his cheering underlings, Bucky the Clown discreetly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lowered his head to secretly look at the bounty on the table.

Fifty million peles.

You have to understand, this is the East China Sea!

His eyes flickered slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Is another great figure about to emerge from the East Sea?"

It's best not to provoke him; all I want to do is find the treasure.

Raising his glass, he shouted with a grin to his cheering underlings, "Let's celebrate this foolish overlord of the East Sea!"

"Yes!"

……

at this moment.

Countless pirate crews received the summons from the overlord of the East Blue.

Some pirate crews admired him, some sneered at him, and some disdained him.

But more and more pirate crews are heading towards the area mentioned by the Moke Pirates, either to join in the fun or to experience the excitement.

no doubt.

The entire East China Sea became incredibly lively because of Mok's declaration of war.

And at the same time.

On the ship of the Moke Pirates, somewhere in the East China Sea.

Xia Che looked at Mo Ke with a serious expression. "Do you know what to do tomorrow?"

"Of course!" Hearing his leader's words, Moke patted his chest. "Tell them, our Moke Pirates will go first and try to trick as many pirate crews as possible into joining!"

however.

"What scam? What scam? How can you talk like that?" Ignoring Nami's disdainful stare, Xia Che glared at Moke, seemingly dissatisfied. He shook his head in disappointment, then looked at Moke with a serious expression. "We're all brothers, how can you call it a scam? It should be an invitation for everyone to get rich together, understand? Tell them you have a way, it's just a bit risky. Remember, put on the aura of the East Sea Overlord!"

The words fell.

Moke looked at Xia Che with admiration.

He immediately straightened his head and shouted, "I understand! I'm not lying, I'm just inviting everyone to get rich together!"

As expected of the boss!

They're clearly just trying to scam people, but they say things in a sophisticated way.

Chapter 17 A Big Customer Arrives

soon.

The next day comes.

As time went by, more and more pirate ships gathered in the area where the Moke pirate ship docked.

"The Rock Pirates? No way~ Their captain only has 50 Berries. As for the other crew members, they don't have any bounties. Even their pirate ship is the same. It's cheap stuff. They bought it secondhand. If they were to sell it again, it would probably be worth around 100 million Berries."

"The Sea Fish Pirates are slightly better, worth one million Berries, but their ship is even worse, a lousy fishing boat that can only be sold as scrap, probably worth around 30 Berries."

"Why isn't there a single great pirate? How many pirates would we need to gather to even have a small goal?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this pirate crew doesn't even have a single person with a bounty on their head. Are they just here to join in the fun? Let's chase them away later, or we'll waste food keeping them around."

"..."

Xia Che looked speechlessly at Nami, who was taking notes in a small notebook, and glanced at her notebook.

Goodness, he's basically noted down the bounties and ship prices of every pirate crew that's come here. As for those without bounties... after noting down their ships, he'll give them a look of disgust.

only.

"How do you remember so many bounty amounts?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate me." Hearing Xia Che's question, Nami proudly raised her head. "To find a suitable big, fat fish in the ocean, a keen eye is essential, and that's something I've honed over the years. Unfortunately..."

As she spoke, she sighed regretfully and said with a pout.

“In the past, I could only sneak up and steal their treasure or trick them out of their ship. If I could do what you did and take them away with their ship, I would have already collected a small goal.”

"You didn't memorize all the bounty posters for pirates in the East Blue, did you?"

"Almost there. I used to collect bounty posters for East Blue pirates, but since becoming a Marine sergeant, it's become much easier. Someone brings me new bounty posters every morning." Nami nodded, then seemed to notice something and quickly lowered her head. "Stop bothering me! A big fish has arrived! The Alvida Pirates, Captain Alvida, bounty 500 million Berries! Wow, this ship must be newly built! Not bad, if we sell it, we can get at least 600 million Berries!"

As he spoke, he kicked one of the Moke pirate crew members standing to the side.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go greet them! That's five million Berries! They're already qualified to board the Mok Pirates' ship. Go and get their captain."

The words fell.

"Yes!" The Moke Pirates crew member standing next to him snapped to attention. He had been listening to Nami talking about millions of dollars, and he was so excited that he almost forgot his job for the day... to greet guests.

He quickly wiped the drool from his mouth, straightened his clothes, and walked with his head held high towards the side of the boat.
