Chapter 697: The Consent of the United Dark Lord Lugal

There is no doubt that Lucard was a little moved.

Even though there is a casino specially set up on the Dark Fighting Island where bets can be placed in the arena, how can this compare to allowing pirates from the entire New World to bet together with the underworld?

The benefits brought by this will undoubtedly be greater.

After a moment of contemplation, Lucard shook his head slightly.

"Not enough, just the two of us are not enough."

"How do you protect that huge amount of money? What if it's stolen?"

Lucard didn't think that the jackals and tigers in the underground world would sit idly by and watch the huge amount of funds gathered.

The underground forces have money, connections, and channels, but they have no power.

If they are targeted by a powerful pirate and robbed, they will have no place to cry and will have to bear the final consequences themselves.

If what Du Field said is true, corresponding bases need to be established in all parts of the New World.

The best Lucard can do is defend his own territory.

For other places, his hands aren't that long.

As for how the Chronos Kingdom did it, it naturally kept most of its funds through dark banks.

A strong fighting force was also arranged to guard them.

Moreover, casinos and sports lottery bases are located in relatively safe kingdoms or large islands.

In comparison, the environment in the underground world can be said to be extremely harsh.

There are too many powerful people in the New World, and they simply cannot keep so much money.

Everyone knows that those dark kings are rich, but not many people take action against them, because in addition to powerful connections, the money is hidden in places unknown to outsiders.

If someone knew the treasure trove of the Dark Lord, even the top pirates would not be able to resist taking action.

"I've researched it, and the benefits are enormous."

"Those idiots don't know the benefits involved. Besides, I didn't say there are only two of us. We can find others to join us, pay some money, and give part of the benefits to those big pirates."

"In this way, we will be able to deploy the entire New World and even other seas at the first opportunity, and these big pirates will become our umbrella of protection."

"I don't believe that by then, there will be fools who will attack us. It would be equivalent to offending the entire New World."

Du Field had already made plans before coming. He exhaled a puff of white mist and a somewhat ugly smile appeared on his face.

"Oh? Any target?"

Lucard finally became interested. Du Field said it well, but in the underground world of the New World, there are not many people who can cooperate, only a few.

"Umit and Victor."

Du Field said the two names without hesitation.

"The King of Shipping" Umit and "The King of Arms" Victor.

They all have businesses all over the world and have arms sales bases all over the New World.

And both of them have good relations with other dark kings.

With their support, the fighting competition can be quickly promoted to the entire New World.

Underground forces and pirates from other seas can also place bets on fighting competitions and watch the games.

The primary target is all the dark islands and Pirate Islands in the New World.

It will also require investment to build large screens that can broadcast live broadcasts of fighting tournaments.

As for the four seas, it is a more distant goal.

Du Field is optimistic about future earnings.

Therefore, he is willing to pay the bulk of the initial investment.

This is just a small matter. Needless to say, as the "King of Usury", "King of Shipping" Umit and "King of Arms" Victor both have terrifying cash flow capabilities.

Needless to say, Victor, arms are extremely profitable, and there is also a huge demand for them in this ocean today.

Umit's business is spread all over the world.

Its network of relationships is even more terrifying. It also has close ties with the World Government and has the influence to utilize the naval power of the World Government.

Although the sea is becoming more and more chaotic, the number of ships of the shipping group is increasing.

Especially for huge transport ships, it is unknown how much cargo they can transport at one time.

Compared to the New World, the Four Seas is now Umit’s main sphere of influence.

As Umit's shipping company gained a foothold in the world, it began to expand rapidly.

In the more peaceful Four Seas, there are no pirates who can threaten Umit.

Even the transportation of naval supplies requires the reliance on Umit's deep-sea shipping company.

For long-distance transportation, Umit's shipping companies have greater advantages.

Transport ships are larger and can carry more cargo.

It can transport tens of thousands of troops at a time.

Even warships can be transported by transport ships.

The powerful garrison force poses no threat at all in the four seas.

Most of the forces that have this capability have cooperative relationships with Umit.

The Hachibo Navy, which possesses a monster like "Cone Green Pepper" that is famous in the New World and can compete with those top pirates, will not attack Umit's transport ship.

It is unknown how many kingdoms depended on Umit's transportation business.

The Flower Kingdom, a powerful country in the West Sea behind the Babao Navy, is no exception.

Now, the supplies that the Kingdom of Chronos transports from the New World to the four seas via the island turtles are also transported to all parts of the world via Umit’s transport ships.

The goods purchased from all over the sea are then shipped back to the island turtle by transport ships, and then returned to the new world by the island turtle.

It forms a perfect closed loop and is very efficient.

Umit controls shipping and monopolizes the channels for maritime commodity trading. In terms of deep-level influence, his influence even exceeds that of "Big News" Morgans.

You know, the total weight of materials transported by just one island turtle exceeds 100 million tons.

The Kingdom of Chronos now has twelve such island turtles.

The annual maintenance cost alone is as high as 300 billion Baileys.

"Okay, I'll treat them to dinner later."

Lugal nodded in confirmation.

The dark kings could not miss the kendo tournament, but unlike Lugal and Du Field, they watched the fight in other arenas.

We will discuss the specific cooperation matters formally later.

This matter will definitely be accomplished, it is just a matter of the final distribution of benefits.

"I'll book the room. It's in Atlantis."

Du Field was a little impatient. If this was successful, his status within the group would definitely be greatly improved.

He supported the MADS Research Institute and acquired a large amount of valuable technology. With this contribution, he became the new "Loan Shark King".

But the "King of Loan Sharks" is merely the leader and one of the leaders of the String-Tailed Snake Group, and he still wants to make progress.

Du Field turned and left. The battle was not over yet, but in the face of Charles' powerful fighting ability, his opponent did not have much resistance.

Even though Ciel did not use his devil fruit ability, he was suppressing the opponent the entire time.

Duffield was no longer interested.

And Lucard's ferocious bloodshot eyes flashed with excitement.

He wasn't here for the Shire.

It was Goenitz who was also watching the game in the audience.

He hadn't seen Goenitz for many years.

My body is so excited that I can't suppress the urge to have a big fight.

He has gotten stronger over the years.

Although his right eye had grown back, it still ached whenever he thought of the first battle.

He still lost the battle before leaving the Sky Arena.

He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to fight another battle.

More importantly, only by defeating Goenitz can he challenge Ignis.
