Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 194 The Invitation to the Golden City

G-14 Branch, Temporary Office.

"Thunderous roar! Eight Trigrams!!!"

Loya lay on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes, and the furious battle roar of Kaido echoed in his mind.

The pain from being struck by a spiked club still lingers in the brain's nerves.

"Ouch, I've been woken up again!"

Loya stood up, rubbing his forehead; the back of his shirt was soaked with sweat.

Enduring the daily thunderous divination was truly taking its toll on him.

A month has passed since his battle with Kaido. Every day after completing his training in the Battleship Pack in the world, he would fight Kaido.

But no matter how many times he tried, whether using Observation Haki or relying on intuition to fight back, he was always much slower and could not completely defend against Kaido's Thunder Bagua.

It is estimated that one would need to be able to foresee the future or significantly improve their physical reaction speed to completely defend against Kaido's Thunder Bagua.

That's incredibly fast.

The only improvement was that he was able to protect his vital parts from the spiked club, preventing him from losing consciousness from a single blow.

Loya held his forehead, and it took him a while to recover from the lingering pain. The black stockings that were slightly digging into his flesh came into view.

It was his own adjutant.

"Senior, the plan for rebuilding the G-5 branch has been finalized. Take a look. The total budget is 50 billion Berries."

"Only 50 billion?"

Loya took the blueprints handed to him by Lu Yun. They contained the design drafts for the G-5 branch, which were not much different from the previous ones.

However, he was truly dissatisfied with the funding.

"Senior, 50 billion Berries is a lot."

Lu Yun offered a tactful reminder.

Given the character of the G-5 branch, it would be quite generous to give them two or three billion Berries for construction funding. They should take a good look at themselves in the mirror.

"snort!"

Loya snorted coldly.

Which G-series fortress wasn't built at a huge cost? Take the G-1 branch fortress, for example; with such a large scale, it must have cost at least tens of billions of Berries.

50 billion Pelés is like giving a beggar a pittance.

How can he deduct money from that?

He also needs to pay a huge research budget of 30 billion. If he doesn't get the money from the world government, does he have to rob it?

Loya rubbed his temples.

"Any news about Caesar lately?"

"No, it's probably still in the world."

Lu Yun shook his head.

The navy has been closely tracking Caesar's whereabouts, but Caesar seems to have vanished and has not shown himself.

According to previous intelligence, Caesar has fallen into Big Mom's hands. However, the Navy's intelligence cannot penetrate Whole Cake Island, which can be said to be the most heavily guarded pirate territory.

Lu Yun took out an invitation and handed it to Luo Ya: "Senior, you might be interested in this."

"Huh? The Golden City?"

Loya raised an eyebrow.

The invitation appeared to be made of gold, with the image of the giant ship Gran Tesoro on its surface, and it looked very impressive.

Lu Yun explained, "It's said that a grand banquet is being held in the Golden City, and the Golden Emperor Tesoro is extending a large-scale invitation to people from all walks of life to visit the Golden City. It's even said that the Celestial Dragons will be there!"

"Quite ambitious!"

Loya sneered, how could he not guess Tesoro's intentions?

Choosing this particular time period is undoubtedly an attempt to seize control of Doflamingo's business network; at this stage, it's certain that only he can operate in both the legal and illegal worlds.

Loya fiddled with the invitation, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Lu Yun, this invitation isn't for us, is it?"

"Smoker obtained the invitation from a group of pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million. Tesoro probably doesn't welcome our Marines."

Lu Yun chuckled.

"Senior, shall we go?"

"certainly!"

Loya's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

He's short of money!

In just a few days, Tesoro's golden invitations were delivered to major underground forces in the New World, and some kingdoms that had dealings with the Donquixote Family also received invitations.

Wano Country, Oni Island.

"Oh ho ho ho, we've finally got news from Caesar!"

Kaido laughed heartily.

In order to obtain the artificial Devil Fruit, the Beasts Pirates were also searching for Caesar's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, Caesar took the initiative to contact them.

Caesar in the City of Gold!

Kaido held the invitation from the Golden City and looked at his three trusted subordinates.

"Who will go?"

"I'll go, Mr. Kaido."

Jhin rarely volunteered, but he didn't forget to make a sarcastic remark about Quinn.

"Waste Quinn only makes things worse."

"You damned Ash, who are you calling trash?!"

Queen roared, "Brother Kaido, let me go to the Golden City! I'm much better at dealing with those guys!"

Both Jhin and Quinn were ready to step in, but Jack stood quietly to the side, not wanting to say a word. Since returning from the G-5 branch, he had become much more silent.

Kaido watched the two arguing.

Jhin is more composed, but he's not as adept at handling mundane matters like trade as Quinn.

This trip to the Golden City is not only to seek Simle from Caesar, but also to reach an arms trade agreement with Tesoro, so that he can sell weapons for the Beasts.

Without Doflamingo, the warehouses on all the Beasts' islands are now overflowing with weapons, which are severely unsold, effectively depriving them of their source of funding.

The sooner this matter is resolved, the better.

"Quinn, go!"

"Hahaha! You useless Jhin, I'm way more reliable than you!"

Quinn was overjoyed, and felt an urge to jump up and dance.

"Wait a minute, Quinn!"

Kaido thought of Loya: "Bring a few more True Fighters. If we encounter Black-haired Kid and Yamato in the Golden City, arrange for someone to follow Yamato."

"Brother Kaido, are you planning to plant a spy next to Blackhair?"

Quinn became interested.

That black-haired vice admiral is now a major target of the Beasts Pirates. Not only did he abduct Prince Yamato, but he also had one of Jack's brother's ivory tusks stolen.

Jack has become withdrawn!

Furthermore, Kaido highly values ​​the black-haired vice admiral, and even mentioned while drinking with his officers that he wanted to marry Princess Yamato to him, which is truly enviable.

"A spy? You could say that."

Kaido's eyes were sharp: "Yamato is my daughter, and the blood ties cannot be severed. So sooner or later, the black-haired boy will become my help. Just have him follow Yamato, and you don't need to do anything else."

"clear!"

Quinn was a little jealous.

hateful!

Kaido has never cared about anyone this much before!

Soon, the Brachiosaurus left Ghost Island.

Meanwhile, the underground forces of the new world sent envoys one after another, and some underground emperors even planned to go there in person.

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Zhan Guo held his forehead, feeling quite troubled.

The invitation from the Golden City also affected the Navy, mainly because the Roswald family, members of the Celestial Dragons, were going to visit the Golden City.

The Golden City is sure to attract many powerful figures, making the safety of the Celestial Dragons a top priority.

In addition to the escort warships of the G-1 branch, we also need to make full preparations.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Sengoku looked up at the two trustworthy lieutenants: "Gion, Kake, I'm entrusting this secret protection job to you."

"clear!"
