Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

Because of what happened later, Ossi completely forgot about the little episode with Caspar.

Ou Bei didn't pay any attention to this person from beginning to end.

It was mentioned in the report, but Kaido didn't read it.

Caspar is now like a lucky mouse. The dragon above doesn't care, and the jackals below dare not move.

……

The song ends, the guests leave, and the tea gets cold.

After the group of family leaders who seemed to have shared a common hatred for the enemy left, the exhausted Willy came to his study, and the housekeeper of the mansion was already standing beside him.

"master."

"Ah."

"Is Letty asleep?"

"The lady has already gone to bed."

"That's good."

When talking about his daughter, Willy always had an unstoppable smile on his face.

This is the most precious gift left to her by his late wife, and the only family member he must protect at any cost.

"Bring me a pen and paper. I need to write a letter. Please deliver it to Baishou at night."

“…Please.”

Willy bowed solemnly to his young butler as he spoke.

"master……"

Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly helped his master up.

"Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it! Even if it costs me my life!"

……

In fact, the process of delivering the letter was far less thrilling than the butler had imagined. In the evening of the next day, he delivered the letter safely to Fenrir Island.

Except for being checked when entering the waters of Fenrir Island, we didn't encounter even a slightly larger wave during the rest of the time.

The butler handed the letter over under the slightly subtle gaze of the Beasts Pirates' receptionist, and then returned to the mansion at the speed of light to report without even touching the small banquet.

"Ok?"

"Another one?"

“This should be the last one.”

In the small house next to the warehouse, Wright looked at the gold-stamped envelope in his hand, which was sealed with the Willy family's exquisite family crest, but he had no intention of opening it.

After all, he had read many letters with similar contents, so he knew what was written in them without even opening them.

"That's right, teacher."

"According to the intelligence sent by that guy named Media Caspar, the Willy family is probably the last of the several major families that control the underground arms trade in the New World."

Dent, who had somehow started wearing a pair of rimless glasses like Wright and whose temperament had become more gentle, calmly stated a shocking fact.

That's right, even though Willy wrote a letter immediately after the meeting to prepare to sell out the other families, he was still one step too late... no, it should be said that he was several steps too late.

In fact, not long after he asked the butler to send out the invitations to other families, the surrender letters from those families were placed on Baishou's desk.

The one who acted the fastest was the head of the Mediah family, Mediah Caspar.

After going to the toilet in the wild, this guy immediately went back and packed up all the confidential materials left by old Media and gave them to Baishou.

Here are the secrets of all the big bosses in the underground world collected by three generations of his father, grandfather, and grandfather.

Of course, the focus is on the interest network between the major arms families and the world government, special sales channels and hidden sources of raw materials.

It can only be said that Media spent nearly a hundred years stripping these competitors of their underwear.

The current leader of the Mediah family, the "lone wolf" Caspar, made the most correct decision decisively after being frightened by an old woman.

As long as he doesn't have to play steel wool with an old woman who is twice his age, he would be willing to lick the boots of some rude female kid every day.

……

"How slow! You're only sending the letter now. Are you still hoping for something?"

Wright wanted to throw the letter in his hand aside, but when he saw someone in the corner suddenly looking over here, he understood and stood up to hand over the letter.

"According to the information from the Mediah family head, this Willy is a cautious and steady person. He will think twice before making a decision, and the more important the decision, the longer he will think."

La, who was knitting in the corner, put down her work, took the envelope, and then used a golden knitting needle to pick up the sealing wax.

"And accordingly, once he makes a decision, he will arrange everything that follows."

After taking out the letter, La read it carefully and then handed it back to Wright.

"Look, like I was saying, this Mr. Willy has already started rolling out the red carpet for us."

"Red carpet...?"

Wright took the letter curiously and read it with Dante beside him under the small fusion energy desk lamp on the table.

Chapter 219 The Art of Surrender

"Hmm... the military-industrial complex?"

“That’s an interesting idea.”

Wright sighed as he looked at the contents of the letter.

He brought together the arms families that were originally fighting each other, and then packaged the whole thing and gave it to the beasts. It has to be said that this middle-aged man, who looks a bit old, does have some ideas.

"That's not the main thing."

La continued to explain as she knitted, the golden needle moving back and forth in her slender hands.

"If those big families fight on their own, then we will have to take them down one by one as planned. Although it will be a bit troublesome, it will also give us time to slowly digest the situation."

"Now they are huddled together. Although it is convenient for us to not have to search for them one by one, it is also difficult to know where to start."

After all, it took Baishou half a year to completely swallow up the market gap left by the Mediah family alone.

This is just the market, and does not include the abandoned factories, mines and special channels.

If I want to take all of these in, I don’t know how much time and energy it will take.

"You mean this guy named Willy still has some intention of resisting?"

"not at all."

Looking at the purple-black wool that was constantly intertwined in his hands, he said:

"This man is very smart. He may be the only one who guessed our true purpose."

The conditions offered in the letters hastily submitted by the previous families were varied.

Some are willing to hand over a certain percentage of their profits, some are willing to directly donate a certain number of mines and factories, and some simply want to become a subordinate family of the Beasts, just like those affiliated pirate groups.

Of course, there are also those who are confused and are still vague about giving concessions.

"Only Mr. Willy mentioned that we should send people to convert all their arsenals to the Hundred Beasts production model."

"It's not just a name change, it's like the factory on Fenrir Island, using the same machinery, producing the same product, and then putting the same label on it."

To put it simply, it is a branch.

"Wouldn't our technology be leaked then? What if they do something tricky or reveal the technology to the World Government? Then we..."

Wright's concerns were not unreasonable, but La had a different opinion.

"Revolvers don't have high technological barriers to entry. If the World Government wants to research them, they can certainly manufacture them."

"But in the final analysis, those official arsenals have the navy's orders as a guarantee, so they don't need to spend any more energy on research and innovation."

"Believe it or not, even if they could completely copy our craftsmanship and produce firearms with performance comparable to ours, they wouldn't be able to directly and smoothly equip them to the Navy."

After all, it is not easy to pry open a complete interest chain that has been entrenched for many years and is as solid as a rock.

Given the level of corruption in the World Government, there's no telling how many Commissioner Smiths, Minister Singhs, and Councillor Sato are involved and trying to meddle in this.

You want to change the production line, fine.

But the purchased instruments must be produced in the factory of Minister Haq's brother-in-law.

You said the instrument model doesn't match?

That's something you need to consider. Minister Hacker worked so hard to take out a precious pure gold and diamond-studded pen from the drawer and signed for you. You can't possibly not even satisfy such a small request, right?

The larger and more bloated an organization is, the more difficult it is to prevent the breeding of corruption.

In comparison, the short, flat and fast pirate mode of Hundred Beasts is much more concise.

The most important thing is that Baishou doesn’t actually take profit too seriously.

Nowadays, Baishou has no shortage of money, and has absolutely no shortage of money.

"Our real goal is to sell Hundred Beasts' weapons to all corners of the world and extend our reach into every war that breaks out..."

"Making the beasts synonymous with war or victory... This man named Willy saw through this and went the other way, actively asking us for profits."

This is a very clever hint. Compared with the active "giving" of other families, Willy puts himself in a completely passive position and "demands" from the beasts.

It not only shows the determination to completely side with the beasts, but also moderately demonstrates his own abilities and value.

"Tsk! These guys who have been staying underground all this time really have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

"Why not just surrender? Why go through all this trouble?"

Dante, who seemed to understand what was said, curled his lips in disdain. Although he now wore glasses and was considered half a cultured person, he was still a pirate at heart.

Compared to those businessmen who speak half-heartedly and beat around the bush at every turn, he still prefers the straightforward negotiation method.

"Excessive rigidity can easily break; only by bending can one stretch."

"We are indeed short of talent in this area now."

If you want to do something big like "rebellion", you need all kinds of people under your command.

Now the Beasts have enough talent reserves in terms of military strength, but the talent reserves in other areas are a bit weak.

This is a common problem among the lower classes that is unavoidable for a purely violent group.

"Miss La, do you mean... to let this Willy be in charge of managing those arms families?"

"Ah."

"It's most appropriate for him, an expert who understands our needs, to manage other experts, rather than us outsiders."

"In addition, we need to assign him a suitable deputy."

"That's right. He's an outsider after all. We still have to send one of our own to monitor him."

Wright nodded, thinking that Miss La was very thoughtful.

However, the next person he chose was somewhat unexpected.

"There's no need to send one of our own. We can just send the young head of the Mediah family."

"Ah? That arrogant second-generation rich kid?"

Although Kaido did not read La's report, as the executive secretary of the executive secretary, he read it word for word.

He also knew very well what kind of person Caspar was.

The fact that he wasn't slapped to death during the ceremony can only be attributed to Miss Ossi's temper and this guy's luck!

However, it was unexpected that after saving his life, this guy did not follow his father and escape to the North Sea with his tail between his legs, but continued to jump around in the New World, and recently even jumped in front of all the beasts.

This guy must be really brave, if he's not mentally ill.

"It's just that his own strength doesn't match his own ambition. People like him can be found everywhere in the New World. It's not a big deal."

"Now that he's experienced the ups and downs of human nature, hasn't this young patriarch learned to make the right choices?"

At least the secrets of the various underground forces are still very valuable to the beasts.

Moreover, unlike other families that had a way out, this Mediah's 'lone wolf' had no way out and could only cling closely to the beasts.
