One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

"it is good."

Without further hesitation, Umit followed Ian into the main building.

On the way, he secretly watched Ian's back.

She's not even fifteen yet.

The Beasts Pirates are hiding a true monster!

Ian led Umit to the reception room, and the two took their seats.

“Mr. Ian,”

Suppressing his curiosity about the boy, Umit asked impatiently, "I won't waste any more time. I'm willing to buy the sea stone from you at a price 20% higher than the market price!"

The price is still negotiable.

Umit's target price is even 50% higher than the market price!

Even so, he still felt it was worth it!

This is the Beasts Pirates!

If this becomes an opportunity to establish a friendship with the Beasts Pirates, what's a little expense? Consider it a friend's gift.

However, Ian simply said, "It's not about the price. Seastone is a very rare mineral, Mr. Umit."

“Apart from the portion we keep for ourselves, the destinations for the portion we sell have already been decided. If you want to buy in large quantities, you will inevitably have to reduce the share of others.”

Umit gritted his teeth inwardly.

Yes, especially after it was discovered that ships inlaid with seastone could easily enter and exit the Calm Belt, the value of seastone skyrocketed.

Who would want their share to shrink?

And those who were able to buy Seastone from the Beasts Pirates before, weren't they all powerful and influential forces?

A trip in vain?

Umit suddenly looked up at Ian and said, "Mr. Ian, please speak frankly."

If you really want to refuse him, then there's no point in having him come over in the first place.

They even now politely invite him over to discuss things.

Ian's lips curled into a smile.

Talking to smart people is simple.

"Interested in cooperating with the Beasts Pirates, Mr. Umit?" Ian asked.

"anytime!"

Umit's eyes lit up, and he spoke without hesitation.

He didn't even ask what the collaboration would entail.

"great."

Ian nodded in satisfaction. "We can sell you seastone, but we also hope you can do us a favor."

"Please tell me."

Umit sat up straight.

“I know you are a well-known shipping tycoon in the New World,”

Ian said, “Your fleet is all over the New World, and you even have properties in the Four Seas and Paradise.”

"It's just a minor achievement."

Umit shook his head repeatedly, but he couldn't quite suppress the smile on his lips.

"I hope you can help us sell weapons."

Ian said, "The new world is far away, even to paradise and the four seas."

The reason for seeking out Umit is quite simple.

In other words, Wano Country has an overcapacity of weapons production.

Over the past five years, Wano Country has undergone tremendous changes.

Because of Ian's decree to abolish swords, the samurai class has been completely wiped out. There are no longer any people in this country who can be called samurai. Apart from the Beast Pirates and Ian's soldiers, the only people qualified to carry swords are the sheriffs of the various towns.

Meanwhile, the enclosure movement continued to advance over the past five years, forcing a large number of farmers to leave their land.

To survive, they had no choice but to go to towns, factories, and mines.

A large labor force led to rapid industrialization.

Over the course of five years, factories sprang up one after another in Wano Country.

In addition to weapons factories, supporting industries such as mining, steel, manufacturing, and construction are also developing rapidly.

The enormous changes naturally brought about enormous turmoil.

The abolition of swords undoubtedly provoked a large number of resistance from former samurai. Some samurai even banded together and led displaced farmers in an uprising, but all of them were easily suppressed by the Beast Pirates.

Even now, only a few stubborn guys keep chanting the slogan of "Heaven punishes the traitor" and want to kill Ian.

The farmers who had been forced to leave their land settled down.

After all, His Majesty the Benevolent King Ian reduced their workload, shortened their working hours, and even paid them according to their performance.

A hardworking worker may not be very wealthy, but he can at least support himself and his family, even if the family is large, both husband and wife can make ends meet by working together.

This is not much different from when they used to farm, and they don't even have to worry about reduced grain production due to climate issues.

Life is barely bearable.

For ordinary people, simply being able to make a living is enough.

Do they really have to risk everything to fight the Beasts Pirates when they can survive?

Therefore, although there are still some lurking rebels, the overall situation in Wano Country is still problematic.

The booming industry, abundant mineral resources, and stable domestic environment resulted in a significant increase in productivity.

Especially in the weapons industry, Guy originally only intended to supply the Beasts Pirates for their own use, but after discovering that they couldn't use it all, they started selling it overseas.

However, the current shipments to neighboring countries and islands affiliated with the Beast Pirates are already falling behind production capacity.

So Ian decided to expand his channels further.

At that moment, Umit, who had made contact with the Beasts Pirates, came into his view.

The news that ships inlaid with seastone could cross the Calm Belt was obviously spread by Ian in order to drive up the price of seastone.

I never expected such a pleasant surprise.

Umit is one of the world's leading shipping tycoons. With his help, Wano Country's weapons can be sold all over the world.

"Of course that's no problem!"

Umit didn't even hesitate for a moment. "Besides helping with shipping, I can also help you find distributors in the park and around the world! I know a lot of guys like that!"

This little bit of help is nothing!

As long as I can gain the friendship of the Beasts Pirates!

"Oh!"

Ian's eyes lit up; this guy was really thoughtful.

"So, happy working together?"

"Happy cooperation!"

Umit grabbed Ian's hand.

I'm asking for some monthly votes at the beginning of the month to make the data look better.

Chapter 42 Let's Set Sail! Ian!

2024-06-04

Umit came with a heavy heart and left with a joyful heart.

Yes, he didn't even stay for a meal.

This time, not only was the mission to purchase Seastone completed, but they also actually became partners with the Beasts Pirates.

Therefore, there is no time for complacency now. Umit needs to return immediately to prepare a fleet to transport the Beasts Pirates' cargo. At the same time, he needs to mobilize all his resources to find partners for the Beasts Pirates in the four seas and Paradise.

Ian was naturally happy to see this happen.

In this way, excess production capacity can also be converted into wealth.

Wealth itself is not important, but it can bring many things.

Ian has been very concerned about the development of Wano Country over the past five years.

No sooner had Umit left than Teacher Kay sent someone to fetch Ian.

To be honest, Ian was somewhat surprised.

Teacher Kai doesn't interfere with the Beasts Pirates' business at all; otherwise, Ian wouldn't be in charge of all foreign trade.

This teacher was a complete hands-off manager; he was only interested in powerful things, whether they were weapons or enemies.

So, what is the purpose of calling myself over this time?

Is he just impulsively thinking of beating himself up again?

Ian headed to the top floor of the main building, to the room where Professor Kay was.

To his surprise, Jhin and Quinn were also there.

"Hahaha, kid,"

Seeing him arrive, Quinn couldn't wait to smile. "Another deal closed?"

The Beasts Pirates' income has increased significantly in recent years, and Queen has naturally benefited greatly as a result, now able to purchase many materials he desires without restraint.

So, at first, he had some reservations about Ian's behavior, but now Uncle Quinn has learned to shut up.
