If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 325 Boss, don't worry, I, Quinn, will definitely not let the organization down!

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) hangs up.

[South China Sea, Baterila Island]

Bazel sat outside a field of hibiscus flowers, a cup of fragrant black tea on a wooden table in front of him.

"Miss Rouge, are you really not going to the Kingdom of Solvi?"

"My mother and friends are over there. Wouldn't it be the same if I waited for Roger there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden house not far away opened its doors.

Rouge came over carrying a plate of cookies.

She casually tucked the light golden wisps of hair from her forehead behind her ear, revealing her swan-like white neck.

"I plan to stay here and wait for Roger to return. What will happen to this hibiscus field if I leave?"

Bazel casually picked up a cookie and glanced at the dried cranberries soaked in red wine in the center.

As soon as the cookie enters your mouth, a red wine flavor, a blend of fruity and buttery notes, immediately hits your taste buds.

"This is really a headache. Roger seems to have guessed that I would take this opportunity to go back to the South China Sea."

Crunch~

After eating two cookies in a row, Bazel picked up his black tea and took a sip.

"He specifically instructed me to clean up the pirates and underground forces near Baterila Island."

"He's probably worried about your safety; it would be difficult for me if you didn't go."

Lu Jiu smiled and shook her head: "Danger exists everywhere; when it's your turn to die, you won't survive."

"This is my home, I won't leave. I appreciate your kindness, but I'll speak to Roger about it myself."

He glanced at the cookies on the table, then looked out of the corner of his eye at the crack in the open door.

The interior and exterior furniture and decorations are already somewhat yellowed and peeling.

"Miss Rouge, could you please get me another cup of tea?"

"no problem."

As the woman picked up the empty teacup and went inside, Bazel took out a suitcase and an envelope from behind him and placed them on the table.

[To Portgas D. Rouge, Yours sincerely]

"Fate is such a strange thing."

When Rouge returned with the teacup, Bazel had already disappeared in a whirlwind that descended from the sky.

"This is----"

Curious, I opened the envelope; inside was a note.

[To Miss Portgas:]

This red envelope is a blessing I give to the newlyweds; it's a custom from my hometown. Please accept it.

I may not be able to attend your wedding with Roger in the future. If I am unable to attend, this will be my blessing to you both.

【Bazaar Liu】

Looking at the stacks of Berries in the suitcase, Rouge felt somewhat lost.

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a custom.

"But isn't this too much!?"

Completely lost and confused, Rouge could only dial Roger's number.

"—You mean that kid gave you a red envelope? A red envelope? What's that???"

Den Den Mushi looked bewildered; he didn't recall having such a custom in the South China Sea.

Rouge recounted the contents of the letter, "A lot, at least several hundred million Berries!"

"I see~~"

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) imitated Roger's gesture by scratching its head.

"Just accept it without any guilt. Anyway, that amount of money is nothing to that kid."

I'll ask him what happened later.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the Den Den Mushi hung up.

Rouge closed her suitcase, looked around warily, and after confirming that no one had seen what was happening, dragged the suitcase into the house.

"Damn, I really need to make Roger pay this money back to Bazel later."

Meanwhile, they flew towards the high altitude of the doldrums.

Bazel lay in the wind, yawning.

Brubrubrukacha—

"Bazaar, does the Kingdom of Solvi have that kind of custom?"

"Wind Phoenix, slow down."

Sensing the wind speed decrease, Bazel then explained to Roger on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Don't worry, there are actually two sums of money. My mother asked me to deliver them together."

"When you called me last night, my mother happened to be nearby. After learning about Rouge's situation, she wanted her to move to the Kingdom of Solvi."

"They also said that if the other party refused, they would send a sum of Pele as a small token of their appreciation."

"Your mother—"

The Den Den Mushi raised its tentacle and scratched its face. "Oh, I see. But where did you get so many Berries? I remember you never carry Berries with you when you go out, right?"

"Shakky also said that you drank hundreds of millions of dollars worth of wine at her place and still haven't paid."

Bazel grinned and said, "I spent the whole morning catching some pirates, and then I went to the Marine branch to exchange them for bounties."

"The South China Sea will probably be peaceful for a while now. I've sent all the most troublesome big-headed pirates to prison."

"Otherwise, where do you think those Pele came from? When have I ever taken Pele with me when I go out?"

Pirates capture other pirates and then go to the naval base to exchange their bounties?

The Den Den Mushi's expression went from shock to bewilderment, and then to numbness.

"You might as well join the Navy. Your dedication to catching and killing pirates is so great that even Garp would give you a thumbs up."

"There's nothing we can do. Those colleagues are blind and always want to walk into the line of fire."

After a few casual words, Bazel inquired about the whereabouts of the Roger Pirates.

"Us? We'll probably arrive in Wano Country around mid-November."

"When you contacted us before, we were already close to entering the West Sea. Turning back now will take even longer."

"Moreover, due to a shortage of supplies, we need to go to the West Sea to replenish our supplies before we can return to the New World."

"November—that should be enough; Harald will probably arrive around then."

Bazel began calculating the time needed for the rest of the journey.

"I have to go to the amusement park later. I'll be back as soon as I'm done. The Red Earl is already waiting for me there."

"You're free to wander around when you get there, just remember not to fight in the city."

"We beasts are very busy, we don't have time to rebuild houses or anything like that."

"Oh! No problem, I'll have Rayleigh lead them and have a good time. Next up is another big battle against the Knights of God, I'm super excited, hahaha!"

"That's settled then. See you in Wano Country."

Snap—

After the Den Den Mushi hung up, Bazel didn't rush to put it away.

Before leaving Wano Country, he held an online meeting with all the officers of the Beasts Pirates.

He revealed the entire "royal bomb" plan, including his own intention to venture alone into the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, as part of his ABC plan.

as predicted.

Kaido immediately objected when he heard about the plan, saying that he would storm Mary Geoise with him.

—The eve of leaving Wano Country to save Morgans—

"Didn't I tell you? The grand banquet in the West Blue is of utmost importance. This is a great opportunity to make our pirate crew famous."

Bazel looked at the loud and defiant Den Den Mushi and covered his face in exasperation.

"Besides, Kaido, without me as your main fighting force, you guys are the ones who should be wary."

"The reason I chose to go alone is because of mobility. Even if we can't win, we can still run away. On the other hand, it's you guys."

"Without me, you'll have to worry about how to defeat Edward and Shiki."

"Defeat? How could I possibly beat Newgate?"

The Den Den Mushi picks its nose with its tentacles.

"Eleven years ago, Lao Tzu, him, and Lox fought against that being."

"Newgate probably wasn't fighting seriously when he was with you; that guy's strength is terrifying!"

Bazel did not argue with Kaido about the strength of Whitebeard.

During the time of Oma, when no one survived, he had already tasted the full power of Whitebeard.

With the Tremor-Tremor Fruit combined with that man's innate strength, Whitebeard in his prime could be considered a true disaster.

"In short, there are a few things you need to pay attention to this time. The first and most important thing is, Jin."

Jin's voice came from another Den Den Mushi.

"you say."

"Pay attention to the rewards Buena Festa mentioned during the battle, as well as his location."

Bazel, holding the microphone, grinned maliciously.

"If anyone dares to eat my flesh and blood buns, I'll make them regret it."

The Den Den Mushi with short, white, wavy hair nodded: "Understood. Leave this to me."

"Listen up, everyone else, this grand banquet is for everyone except the scientists. Don't try to scatter them."

"Especially you, Hanafza!"

The Den Den Mushi sitting in the corner widened its eyes: "Hey, why did you single me out like this?!"

"Put away that stupid sense of loyalty you have."

Barzel rebuked him mercilessly.

"That battle was a life-or-death struggle. I don't want Kaido to return with everyone without you, you spineless idiot!"

The Den Den Mushi, which had intended to curse, shut its mouth.

"We promised to reunite in Wano Country, so don't you dare die in this tiny West Blue!"

Bazel slammed his hands on the table, his expression solemn.

"Don't let me find out any of you died because of loyalty or carelessness, or I'll definitely shit and pee in front of your tombstone!"

"I don't want any of you to be absent from the new world. Listen carefully, we've been partners all this way."

"You have witnessed the hardships and difficulties that the beasts have gone through. Now that you have come this far, let's continue to move forward with boldness!"

If even one person is missing—

"Whether it's me or Kaido, we'll never taste the flavor of wine again in our later years!"

The Den Den Mushi representing Kaido said in a deep voice, "Bazaar is right. You are all my trustworthy partners. If you die, I will be so heartbroken that I will quit drinking."

"Yalalala~~"

Hanafza's laughter suddenly rang out.

"Don't say such discouraging things, we are the Beasts Pirates!!"

"They are invincible beasts, fearless beasts, beasts destined to reign supreme!"

"I absolutely will not die in a place like that, Bazel. You better not die in Mary Geoise, or I'll build a public toilet next to your grave!"

"You'll be sleeping in the latrine, you bastard!"

Bazel laughed and cursed, "Don't say such unlucky things! If I don't want to die, there's no one in this world who can kill me!"

"The next few years will be the most crucial years. The grand banquet will be the turning point for us after a long period of dormancy."

"Our fame and our strength will be showcased to the world through this battle."

"If you do a good job, once this major event is over, it will be the beginning of our golden path and our complete domination of the new world."

"Quinn,"

One of the many Den Den Mushi in front of him changed its lazy expression.

"Boss!"

"After we leave Wano Country, the defense of this place will be handed over to the Roger Pirates, Red Earl, and Harald."

"I anticipate a major battle will take place, and I've prepared a battleground in White Dance."

Before Bazel could finish speaking, a glint of light flashed in the Den Den Mushi's eyes.

"I know, boss. I will go back ahead of time to renovate White Dance Port and try to transform it into a suitable main battlefield for our side before the big battle."

"No matter how many enemy troops come, I will take care of clearing out all the fodder; the remaining powerful enemies are for them to handle!"

Bazel nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, exactly. Don't worry about Bai Wu being harmed as a result. I've been to that place."

"Everything is too outdated, it doesn't matter if it's smashed."

"Didn't you plan to establish a mechanical empire? If that place is destroyed in the war, Quinn, I can give that land to you."

"If you prove your plan is feasible, I will fully support your mechanical empire transformation plan, and half of the revenue from the Heart of Gold will belong to you, Quinn."

"!!"

Upon hearing such a promise, Quinn's Den Den Mushi turned red in the face and began to pant heavily.

"Don't worry, boss, I, Quinn, will definitely not let the organization down!!!"
