"Miss!" A middle-aged man with silver hair hurried over and handed Cang Qiangwei's news paper to the woman. "You..." He stopped talking.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

The woman raised her melancholy beautiful eyes and fixed her eyes on the newspaper. "Oka, don't worry."

The middle-aged man is even more worried. The woman in front of him is called Fresnel. In the eyes of other people, the mental state is not normal. In fact, he can clearly feel the negative emotions suppressed in her heart.

"Although the master and madam are gone, you must be strong. Even if they are in heaven, they will be watching you."

"Oka, I said, I'm fine. Go and prepare invitations to invite guests to come to the manor to participate in the Poseidon Festival banquet."

"Huh? What...what? Miss, do you want to invite those strangers?" Oka thought that Fresnel was just saying casually. Who knew that the other person's eyes were very serious, and suddenly there was a saying no The pressure that came out made the middle-aged man wake up.

"Go and invite guests."

"Oh... yes, I will prepare now." Then he reacted, "Do I need to tell Mr. Rand about this?"

"You go, I have my own plan."

"Yes."

Maybe it was the lady who had her own plan, Oka thought inwardly, and hurried away.

......

In the Biel Watt Palace, an old man in a gorgeous white dress was sitting on a black mat. There were dozens of mats lined up on both sides, but they were all empty. Only one mat was sitting on a black-haired middle-aged man.

"Mr. Rand."

The old man's hair was pale, but his eyes were piercing. With a crown on his head, he showed his identity and said in a calm tone, "How's the situation?"

Next to a person wearing a red Onimusha armor and a black ghost mask, he combed his back, and the man named Rand raised his mouth: "Your Majesty, this year is different from previous years. The Celestial Dragons Lord Celestial Dragons asked for more heavenly gold this year than before. Doubled. It’s really hard to do. If I don’t have more capital, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to pay taxes at the appointed time. When the time comes, the Celestial Dragons adults will blame it, and I don’t know what terrible things will happen again."

"However, the few territories you want are important. I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the ministers." The old king frowned slightly and sighed deeply in his heart.

"Oh, it's hard for me to handle it. Pirates have been rampant these years. The'Black Coffin' soldiers under my hand have been attacked one after another... You said, you and I want to eat, and they also want to eat. Everyone has to eat. If Celestial Dragons blames it, let alone eating at that time, everyone in the country will have to go hungry!"

Rand glanced unscrupulously at the surrounding palaces. He sneered and said, "If you want me to say, Your Majesty, your luxurious palace, if you sell it to me, it is not impossible to repay the debt. It is just that what I need now is to retreat. A good strategy for the enemy, instead of wasting time here."

The old king was silent, and now he had no right to suppress the man in front of him at all, because the guards and soldiers of the entire kingdom depended on the money of the Roquedas Chamber of Commerce to live on.

Moreover, the strong Yamato of the Black Coffin mercenary was brutal and rough, beyond his imagination.

Ordinary people can't fight these terrifying sea mercenaries. There are seven powerful Demon fruit powers in Black Coffin who are all loyal to Rand. It can be said that the man in front of him has almost grasped the lifeblood of the entire Birbart Kingdom. The old king has absolutely nothing. Can fight against his rights.

Even if it appeals to the World government franchise country, Celestial Dragons will be suppressed, because the amount of money Roquedas gives Celestial Dragons every year does not know how many billion Berry.

"The Minister..."."

"The ministers agree." Rand waved his hand, and the man in the red ghost warrior armor beside him bent down. After he whispered a few words, a group of people came in immediately outside.

Puff...

A blood-stained bag was thrown in front of the old king. It was round and round. Needless to say, he knew what was inside. The old king suddenly trembled in his heart and lowered his head helplessly: "I promise you...and, Is it yours who attacked Princess Filorina? Please let her go, she is innocent."

"Let her go? Then let you form an alliance with the country behind her, and then join forces against me!"

The middle-aged black-haired man gave a slick back of his head and showed a deep smile: "Listen, no one will see how a hero becomes a hero. Because they only remember one name, that is the name of the winner. Don't think you You can get rid of it, you sinner!"

Rand let out an arrogant smile and shook his body and walked out.

Suddenly the Black Coffin mercenaries in the house began to put away the team. On the contrary, the guards outside were scattered, and they didn’t even know what happened. They bowed their heads respectfully because of the adult in front of them. , But the master who pays them.

There was a long silence.

The old king sighed helplessly. On that day, what he regretted most was that he had listened to Rand and let the Roquedas Chamber of Commerce fall into his hands.

......

"Master, I heard that there is a Cang Qiangwei traveling merchant who wants to make a deal with us?"

"Cang Qiangwei? I've never heard of such a name, go to check their details. But since they are in business, then I will do it, but I don't know if they want to do serious business or... underground Business."

"Yes. But sir, can the mercenaries on the black market really believe it? I think they also seem to have their own ambitions. Are they really reliable?" asked the old man in butler clothes.

"Don't worry, considering the difficulty of the opponent, the'Black Coffin' I hired is one of the best, and the general pirate group dare not offend them at all."

"But I heard that there is a ghoul in Black Coffin. He is a ghost who likes to collect corpses in the legend. It seems to be called..."

"Why, have you heard of him?" Rand asked.

He swallowed his saliva, with fear on his face, "Yes, I have heard of his rumors. It is said that he was a pirate who once slaughtered the entire fleet. The bodies were piled up like a mountain and blood flowed into rivers."

Hearing his description, a tall and burly ghost appeared in Rand's mind with a height of several meters, blue-faced fangs, and a hideous complexion.

"What's your face, don't believe some hearsay. Even if it is a ghost? Black Coffin is hired by me. They can't shoot us. It's just the Celestial Dragons behind us that they can't. Affordable."

Hearing what he said, the old butler hesitated to speak, then slowly lowered his head.

He wanted to say, if the money ran out, would Celestial Dragons still help them? It's hard to say.

At this time someone said: "Master, Miss Fresnel entertained the merchants of Cang Qiangwei at the manor!"

"Huh?" Rand was taken aback for a moment, with a sneer: "She thought she could take the initiative to take the Master's initiative ahead of me. The opportunities for the Roquedas family are running out. I want to say that she will be her own master honestly. Isn't the lady okay? It's a pity that you have to fight against me."

"Need to let the people at Black Coffin handle it?"

"Not for the time being. If you accidentally... scare the new guests, it won't be good."

"Okay, sir."

......

the other side.

On the luxurious Wangcheng Avenue, there are carriages on the road leading to Roquedas Manor.

Xi En and his party received an invitation from the Roquedas Chamber of Commerce, signed by a mistress called Fresnel. The manor house belongs to her and belongs to private property, not the Chamber of Commerce itself.

With the idea of ​​inquiring about intelligence, Xi En chose to accept it and went to explore the way.

But at this moment.

One by one on the carriages running on the road, "Ms." Tiss's phone worm rang, and as the fragrance of fragrance floated, a message came from the phone worm, making her nod slightly.

"Really. I know."

So Tiss opened the curtains and stopped the carriage. She tiptoed on the board and walked into the other carriage.

At this time, it seemed that some Keli, who couldn't stand the loose dress of "Miss Noble", leaned out of the window half of her body: "What happened? It's so boring here."

"Shhh, go back!"

Tiss motioned to Kelly to retract. Whose noble lady was so wild, so Kelly pouted and had to return to the carriage.

"Dudu."

Dishes knocked on the car window. Xi En, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, and Carol and Hina opened the window and asked what happened to Dishes.

"There is news from the Dragon Emperor, and some information has been found..."

Immediately afterwards.

Tis got in the car, sat opposite Xi En, and began to report: "The owner of the Roquedas Chamber of Commerce is called Rand, but do you know how he made his fortune? He has another name in the underground world called "Black Crow" ', usually some arms and some banned drugs are smuggled in cargo merchant ships. At the same time, the underworld and the white way are related. Marine does not inspect their ships at all, so their poison (Nuo Zhaohao) can flow from the Grand Line to all over the world. Here to make a fortune."

"Basque, do you know the'Black Crow'?"

"I heard that the Black Crow is mainly active in the first half of the Grand Line and in the world, and has no influence in New World. If you want to trouble him, you can let the'Young Master' Doflamingo of North Blue take action. The Donquixote family is at the industry level. First-rate, as long as he makes a move, the "Black Crow" won't have to play."

"Well, is there anything else?" Xi En asked blankly.

"It's about Black Coffin." Tiss had a wonderful expression at this time. She said, "Captain, what do you think the true identity of this so-called Black Coffin sea mercenary is? A group of pirates, whose bandit leader is a recent rise. One of a group of Pirate Supernovas whose name seems to be'Gekko Moria', is a shadow fruit ability person. At a young age, he already has a not-so-low bounty."

"interesting......"

Xi En raised the corner of his mouth slightly. This Gekko Moria is not easy. If he remembers correctly, he will soon dare to trouble the beast Kaido...Although it is completely wiped out, Moria should be wiped out. It’s because you have your own fleet. Why do you want to be a mercenary at sea?

Maybe it's for money, or weaponry and other reasons.

But anyway.

The carriage stopped at this time.

Roquedas Manor, here it is. .
