Chapter 22 starts!

……

Agulas Gutt held a plan book in his hand and continued to analyze to everyone in the attic.

"In today's underground world, apart from the red-light district, arms trafficking and slave smuggling, the rest of the industry has basically taken shape and formed a complete industrial chain."

"Uncle Gutt, if I remember correctly, didn't the woman named Stussy develop her red-light district industry very well? Why haven't the red-light districts been unified yet?"

When Lex heard the word red light district, he couldn't help but think of Stussy, a woman with multiple identities.

Miss. Bakin's clone, a member of the World Government's CP0, a spy of Vegapunk, and a beautiful woman who plays Infernal Affairs in the pirate world.

This sea is so wonderful because of the existence of people like this!

Of course, Stusi has only appeared on the sea for a few years now, and it seems to have appeared in 1485, if Lex remembers correctly.

"Although Stussy is developing rapidly, there are two other red-light districts that are also quite strong and have a deep foundation. In addition to humans, they also have women of various races, even men and children, and are very popular with customers. Stussy has recently been busy competing with the other two for the remaining red-light district market share, wanting to expand its advantage and swallow up the other two, but the results are not very good at the moment."

Gut explained that he had thoroughly investigated all the intricate relationships involved, otherwise how could he be the second deputy of Golden Lion?

Didn’t you see that while Gut was explaining to Lex, Golden Lion and Rhine were drinking wine with a relaxed look on their faces?

Rhine might know a little about what Gutt said, but as for the Golden Lion, he didn't care at all. If Lex hadn't said that he wanted to unify the underground world as soon as possible, he wouldn't even care about these rats in the gutter.

That's right, in the eyes of Golden Lion, these so-called "Dark Kings" are just rats in the gutter in front of him. They have ambitions but lack strength and are not worth worrying about.

How could a group of rats in the gutter be worthy of a second glance from a soaring lion?

Golden Lion was not wrong to think so. Deeply influenced by the old captain Rocks D. Gibek, he had blind confidence in strength. He believed that as long as he had as strong power as Rocks, he would have everything and could realize all his ambitions.

Rocks will die simply because he is not strong enough!

This is the Golden Lion Shiki in his prime, looking down on everything and looking down on the world!

As for the old golden lion in the original time and space more than 30 years later, he is no longer the hero who dominates the sea today. He is just a loser who pinned his last ambition on a stupid, 20-year-long "IQ" research.

However, it is fortunate that this time, with Lex, the Golden Lion will definitely not go down the same old path.

Back to the topic, noticing that Lex had no intention of continuing to ask questions, Gut continued to add.

"And the other dark kings are Du Field in the currency field, known as the 'King of Usury'!"

"Drag Piercrot in the assassin field, known as the 'big-name funeral director'! It seems to be related to Pepe."

Gut glanced at the inconspicuous little figure to Lex's right.

Pepe was drinking the freshly squeezed grape juice given by Lex. When he heard Gut mention his name, he raised his head.

"Pepe, it does matter. Piercrot is a fool who only loves to kill people and not eat them. Pepe!"

After saying that, he continued to suck up the delicious grape juice with a straw.

"Well, I heard that Piercro really loves fighting, and then he can give the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment." Gut said casually.

"In addition, there is also the king of intelligence who has become famous in recent years - 'Big News', Morgans! He seems to be the user of the Bird-Bird Fruit's Albatross form, and has been in beastman form for many years. With his special fruit ability and outstanding news talent, he has built a news industry chain covering the world using the News Bird, and has almost occupied the entire news market."

Hearing this, Lex couldn't help but imagine a birdman in a suit, who kept shouting "Big News". He was a very interesting person.

"There is also Kiberson in the warehousing field, known as the 'Hidden Master', and Umit in the transportation field, known as the 'Deep Current'! Both of them also have a huge underground market share, almost monopolizing their respective business fields. They are both called the 'Dark Kings' of the underground world."

Having said that, Gut paused and thought for a moment.

He then looked at Golden Lion and Rex and said, "Admiral, Young Master, these people have a close relationship with the Celestial Dragons of Marijoa. If we replace them all, the entire underground world and even the entire ocean will be in turmoil. The World Government will inevitably intervene, and they may confront the government head-on."

"Hahahaha, what are you worried about, Gut? Let them come to me!" The Golden Lion still looked disdainful.

When several people heard this, they didn't think it was strange. They thought that the admiral (uncle) was just like that and they just had to get used to it.

But Lex continued to speak.

"So what I mean is that I will be in charge of this matter for the time being and have a good 'talk' with these dark kings. Uncle Rhine will be in charge of following up, Uncle Gutt will continue to be in charge of collecting intelligence and pay special attention to Marijoa's attitude. Sister Lily will transfer personnel from the Flying Pirates to secretly take over those markets. The less noise the better. Pepe will be in charge of coordinating with Sister Lily and dealing with the disobedient mice."

"Yeah." Rhine.

"Okay." Gutt.

"I will listen to the young master obediently." Lily.

"Pepe~Pepe~!" Pepe.

Lex did not ask for their opinions; he spoke these words in a declarative tone.

Several people agreed directly without any hesitation.

No one felt it was inappropriate. If the Golden Lion suddenly disappeared, no one would object even if Rex took over the entire Flying Pirates.

Even in everyone's eyes, the Flying Pirates will reach a higher level and perhaps even recreate the peak of the Rocks Pirates in the past.

"What do you think, uncle?" Lex asked Golden Lion again. It would be better to ask his uncle's opinion. There should still be rules. Strictly speaking, he is not even a pirate. Why should he directly give orders to the senior officers of the Flying Pirates?

"Do as you say. You don't need to tell me if you need anything. Just tell Rhine and Gut directly." Golden Lion said nonchalantly.

Sometimes, it is not a good thing for a nephew to be too strong and omnipotent, as it makes him seem like a mascot the whole time, Golden Lion thought secretly.

In fact, don’t underestimate Golden Lion. He is the real soul of the entire Flying Pirates.

"Well, let's start the action as soon as possible. We plan to gradually replace the entire underground world within three years! Gather funds and then launch the 'hunting plan' for the New World Navy branch!"

Everyone present knew about the "Ten-Year Plan", so Lex had nothing to hide and just mentioned the next plan.

Among the entire Hiku Pirates, only a few people present knew the complete first "Ten-Year Plan". Apart from them, even the captain of the fourth ship, Brianna Rania, known as the "Queen of the Night", was completely unaware of it.

In this world, apart from the members of the Hiku Pirates, only Whitebeard, Red Earl, Gion and a very few others know a little about it.

Oh yes, Lex seemed to have mentioned it when he was drinking with Roger a few years ago, but a man like Roger obviously doesn't care much.

Upon hearing that Lex had officially launched the plan, everyone was eager to try it out.

The Flying Pirates are officially competing for supremacy in the ocean!

The wind of the times blew from the attic in the back garden of the Ant Island Palace, the headquarters of the Flying Pirates, 10,000 meters above the New World!

The ten-year plan has begun!
