Chapter 130: Prepare to bring goods to the Tianlong people, and make money without conscience!

“Wow, so much money, Mr. Zefa?”

“You are stepping down from the position of general. Are you afraid of being purged?”

“I have been afraid of poverty since I was a child. I never spend the money I earn. I just save it in my pocket…”

Luke teased Zephyr.

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Zephyr had a smiling face but complained, “Are you talking nonsense again? I am the most honest admiral in history!”

“The Navy has provided me with food and accommodation for so many years, and I don’t have any bad hobbies…”

“Isn’t it normal to save some money?”

Luke smiled and responded, “Yes, yes, that’s normal! Don’t worry, I will spend the money wisely…”

“Do your best, Luke. I fully support you in this matter!”

Zefa sighed and said, “The World Government doesn’t treat the Marines as human beings! I still remember that poor woman…”

“My husband is a marine, but he was captured by the Celestial Dragons and made a slave! I am too embarrassed to face young people…”

Luke’s explanation to Zefa was that he wanted to improve the treatment of soldiers at the bottom of the navy.

Therefore, we need to establish a large capital pool to take the lead in getting involved in business.

The project has been selected, and we just need some start-up funding.

So, Luke came to him to ask for money.

Zephyr was happy to see this.

As a traditional veteran navy officer, he has a simple sense of immersion in the treatment of the big-head soldiers…

The slush fund is also exceptionally rich.

After all, he was the man who chose to work alone in the original time and space, and was able to support the daily expenses of the NEO Navy…

The so-called three years as a clean magistrate can earn you 100,000 silver coins, let alone a naval admiral?

“How is that woman doing lately?”

“What will the baby be called? Has it been named?” Luke asked casually with an idea in mind.

“It’s a boy named Ace…”

“It’s growing very fast. It ate the Flame-Flame Fruit and matured a little early. It can jump around now!”

“Sakaski likes him very much, maybe because of his background? Or maybe it’s because the Magma Fruit is a higher level of the Flame-Flame Fruit, so he always goes to see him…”

Speaking of the Navy Headquarters.

Zefa, who completely retreated to the second line after Luke was promoted to admiral, was like an old man who loved to nag about family matters, chattering with his favorite student.

Luke listened quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Sakaski is actually interested in Ace?

If little Ace had been more sensible and sweet-talked under Lu Jiu’s teaching, he would have become Sakaski’s apprentice based on this affection…

Then there will be a show.

Roger was executed anyway.

Roger, who is already terminally ill, wants to use his death as a node to usher in a new era. This is his inner desire…

But this time, Roger didn’t rely on the so-called great treasure and the identity of the Pirate King…

“Want to change the world? Then go out to sea! Go and see why this world is corrupt!”

“Whether you want to be a pirate, a marine or something else, my secret treasure is real and will provide power to the subversive at the end of the world!”

Countless people cheered for Roger.

Compared to the original time and space, the scene where the people of the world celebrated after the death of Pirate King Roger…

This time, many people also spontaneously mourned the “hero Roger” who rescued the slaves.

This line was confirmed by Luke and Roger.

Since you are targeting the World Government and want to break the existing order and build a new world, then stop hiding and playing the Riddler game and shout it out loud!

And Roger must cooperate with Luke.

He emphasized pirates before because he did not believe that a leader who could overthrow the Celestial Dragons could be born from the soil of the Navy…

Besides, Roger is a pirate by nature, so he naturally hopes that someone who can change the world will emerge from his group…

But with Luke watching from the side, Roger had no choice.

This man’s observation Haki allows him to see a small part of the future!

He was sure that if he didn’t follow the script, Luke would cut off the live broadcast on the spot…

“Don’t worry, Mr. Zefa…”

“I always feel that the world will get better and better. Although there may be some fluctuations in the process, as long as there is faith in my heart, there is still hope!”

“I will carry your share with me and keep fighting!”

Luke guzzled several bowls of chicken soup for the old Marine chief and hung up the phone.

After pondering the personnel list for a while, he dialed Kizaru’s Den Den Mushi.

“Okay, you’re pretending you can’t tell the difference between the handset and the receiver again. Can you stop being so cute at your age?”

“I have a business here. I want to provide some benefits to the marines and make some money at the same time…”

“Vote for it?”

Kizaru let out a long “Oh” and said, “Are you a navy admiral doing business? It’s not against the procedure, but no one has ever done this before…”

“You can do whatever is not prohibited by law.”

Luke said briefly: “This matter has nothing to do with the Navy Headquarters. It is purely my personal behavior.”

Den Den Mushi was silent for a moment.

“Don’t lose money, Luke…”

“My five social insurances and one housing fund, as well as my old-age security, all depend on this little treasury…”

Huang Yuan sighed: “Really, I was bewitched so easily by you!”

Luke smiled and said, “I’m not bewitching you, it’s just that you have a very good eye…”

The reason why Luke called Kizaru was not because he really needed his share of the money.

It’s a question of attitude whether to give money or not.

As a naval admiral, it is obviously problematic to establish an independent funding pool and a foundation…

Even if the world government has not explicitly banned it, it does not prevent this matter from being insensitive.

Then giving Luke money means recognizing him as a brother in your camp.

If you don’t give it, then you are standing on the opposite side…

Yes, Luke does not agree with the neutrals who sit on the fence.

In the fierce struggle, there is no room for ambiguity!

Through this phone call, Luke confirmed Kizaru’s attitude.

Normally, he seems to be completely neutral and indifferent to everything, but when it comes to getting serious…

Kizaru was still very happy!
Isn’t the so-called ambiguous justice simply dissatisfaction with the current world government?
Otherwise it’s an ambiguous hammer!

“Sakaski, I have something to ask…”

“You support it too? Okay, I won’t make too much noise, I just want to provide some bottom-line benefits for the marines!”

“Without any worries, I can concentrate on enforcing justice…”

“Things like Ace and Lu Jiu shouldn’t become the norm in the Navy. We need to keep our guard up!”

Sakaski was silent for a long time, told Luke not to draw too much attention from the World Government, and mentioned a staggering number.

At this point, Luke had raised the funds for the three monsters of the navy, and confirmed their initial attitude. As for Garp and Sengoku, the two admirals of the previous generation, it goes without saying.

Although Sengoku acts like a loyal dog to the Celestial Dragons, he always talks and acts like a world government…

But as for Rossinante’s return to the Celestial Dragon camp and seeking benefits for the Marine Headquarters.

Although he was extremely reluctant, didn’t he still let Rosinante do it in the end?
As for Cap, the amount of money he gave was also astonishing.

Luke was very suspicious. When Monkey D. Dragon in the original time and space was starting a team, did he get the Cap Gold Coins that dropped?

If he gets there first, wouldn’t Monkey D. Dragon faint?

Go fight, boy!
Luke was also impressed by the admiral’s abundant savings.

can only say.

In this extraordinary world, money is useless to the strong and can be of little use.

Admiral-level navy provides food, accommodation and medical care, but does not provide inner peace…

Bailey can buy a good sword, but he can’t buy the ultimate sword.

The real upper-level resources are not circulated in units of Baileys.

But for most people, Bailey is still extremely useful because it can be used to buy bread, milk and meat!

Luke was like this before…

To him, Bailey is just a string of cold numbers and there is nothing else he can do.

But now it’s different…

If he can ensure that the Marines and more people who trust him are well fed, well fed and warmly clothed, he will become stronger!
“Although this amount of money is considerable, it is rootless after all. It is just a deposit, not an asset…”

“We need to integrate the shipbuilding company of the Seven Water Capital so that there will be a steady flow of money.”

He is not worried that it will be difficult to acquire the company.

The mayor of the Seven Waters City is a wise man. He is willing to accept the endorsement of Rocinante and Spandine as long as their attitude is good and the money is enough…

Luke pondered.

Industry is one aspect, while sales channels and customer groups are also important aspects.

You have to find those rich and willing to spend money and rip them off!
Thinking of this, Luke’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Isn’t it wonderful to do business with the Celestial Dragons?

Luke looked out the window at the warship floating high in the sky and suddenly laughed out loud.

For the Celestial Dragons who are obsessed with comparison and extravagance, their ships are usually painted with thick gold powder, and their luxurious furniture and decorations are all gorgeous…

But how can these compare to the flying ship?

Especially when one Celestial Dragon has it, how can other Celestial Dragons fall behind?

Luke wants to start this trend in Mary Geoise and hype up the airship in his hands!
A few days later.

Spandam, Spandine’s son, rushed to Luke at full speed and carefully recorded the orders in a small notebook according to his father’s instructions.

“Notify everyone to count the abandoned warships in our base and move them out of the garbage dump.”

“All activities will be suspended for the next few days. Focus on renovating the abandoned warships. Wait for my further orders for the next actions!”

“Send someone to the headquarters to retrieve the abandoned warships there. They are useless anyway…”

Spandam repeated it quickly, looked at Luke with reverence, and went to carry out the order.

His father repeatedly stressed and warned him…

Tell him how powerful Lord Luke, whom he is about to serve, is. It would be much better to be able to become familiar to him and serve as his assistant than to stay in Mary Geoise!

If Jian was really in the middle of the road, maybe one day he would give a celestial dragon a slap in the face, and nothing would happen…

What Spandam heard was a surge of emotion.

And Spandine kept it to himself, not daring to tell his son that his father held the lives of the Celestial Dragons in his hands…

Looking at Spandam’s back, Luke smiled.

Here is a clever errand runner who can really save you a lot of trouble…

At the naval base in the New World.

The assembled naval officers and soldiers looked at Luke in confusion.

No one understood why they were suddenly competing with an abandoned warship while they were carrying out their mission properly?
But given Luke’s prestige, the Marines had no objection.

Not to mention an abandoned warship, even if they just danced together on the spot, everyone would just regard it as an opportunity to cultivate their sentiments.

The New World Naval Base is the most dangerous naval base in the entire pirate world…

But since Luke took over, the navy and pirates have almost become a family…

The casualty rate has plummeted.

Barrett and Marco come to check on the training progress of the navy members when they have nothing to do, fulfill their responsibilities as Shichibukai, and work with the navy members to capture pirates.

When he has nothing to do, he will bring some members of the Whitebeard Pirates to play with him, and the marines will pretend not to notice them. On special days, they will have a party together or something…

After all, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have worked so hard, so what’s wrong with bringing a few friends to check out the naval base?
Besides, Admiral Luke didn’t say anything and even greeted Diamond Joz and Flower Sword Vista!

“Brothers, refurbish these warships in one day…”

“Rust removal and shell replacement do not require real materials, but the interior must look luxurious!”

“Spandam, you know what I mean? Do it the way Marijoa likes…”

Spandam blinked vigorously, moved closer to Luke and asked in a low voice, “My lord, do you want a luxurious style or not?”

“It’s fine as long as it looks good but doesn’t work. The cost should be kept to a minimum, but it should look luxurious…”

Luke said unscrupulously, holding a cigar in his mouth: “This way we can make a big profit! I want to sell these ships to the Celestial Dragons and make some money!”

Spandam blinked and said, “Sir… Is this easy to sell?”

“Of course it’s not easy to sell normally, but it will be easy to sell once it’s flying!” Luke exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the confused marines, and waved his hand:
“Execute the order!”

The marines took action obediently.

Although it is not a combat mission within the rules and regulations, it is Luke’s private job…

But everyone was still willing to help Luke and they worked hard.

If it weren’t for this base commander, the casualty rate at the New World Base would have been horrific!

Luke took in the reactions of the marines and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

There is no need to paint a rosy picture for the Marines now, as this will only dilute their expectations…

After these ships are sold to the stupid dog Celestial Dragons, he will directly place the piles of Baileys in front of the marines and distribute them to them one by one!

We will shake hands one by one later…

It’s not that Luke necessarily wants to win people’s hearts in this way.

But it’s the shrine… The triggering mechanism of the not-Sun Fruit requires Luke to come into contact with a specific person.

A few days later.

Under Spandam’s strict supervision, several warships were renovated to meet the aesthetic tastes of the Celestial Dragons.

But compared to the real luxury…

Luke is the ultimate in appearance.

The gold color is not pure gold, but a mixture of gold dust and copper. It just needs to be shiny…

The steel plates that were originally covered with rust were not replaced with new ones at all. They were just rubbed off with large layers!

As for whether the skin is thin or not, and whether the crash resistance is poor or not…

Anyway, I’m not sitting here alone, so why should I care about Luke?

The money earned is unscrupulous!
