Chapter 222: Leaving One After Another

With the conclusion of the Pentecostal Fair, the largest layout of Leix was completed in 1490.

There will be no similar layout in the next 8 years.

In other words, Lex finally has some free time.

Although there is still a lot to do, such as the affairs of Vegapunk and the Moon Base, Pentles's business of selling war abroad, and the secret expansion of the underground world in Paradise and the four seas...

There are also government-related issues, such as the implementation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea plan, in which the World Recruiting must also participate. As the de facto prime minister, Lex can do a lot of things as long as he wants, but the most difficult thing is how to make the Five Elders feel that what they are doing is for the government while completing their own layout.

There is no end to the work, and Lex has no intention of doing it all at once.

There is undoubtedly only one most important thing at the moment——

Strength! ~

now--

At the port of Pentletes, a group of people gathered here.

The Oro Jackson of the Roger Pirates is about to set sail, and Lex and Shano personally come to the port to see them off.

"Hey! Lex, next time something good like this happens, remember to call me!"

Roger clung to the mast and waved at Lex.

"Okay, I see. Have you decided where to go next?"

"Ah, Rayleigh, where is our next island?"

Rayleigh didn't know, so he asked Jabba:

"Jabba, the captain asks where the next stop is?"

As a navigator, Jabba knew very well:

"Zou!"

"Wow!~ Is that the furry country on the back of the giant elephant?"

Shanuo was very envious.

Seeing Xia Nuo's envious eyes, Roger laughed triumphantly:

"Ahahaha!~ It's that furry principality! Brother Shanuo, you can come with us too!"

Xia Nuo hesitated for a moment:

"Uh, never mind. Lex has something to ask me these days."

Lex interrupted everyone's farewell:

"Well, set sail as soon as possible. The new world is so big that you can travel freely. If you find anything unsatisfactory wherever you go, tell me my name."

"Ahahaha!~ Lex, thank you for your care, bye!~"

"goodbye!"

Seagulls flew across the sea and sky, and the Oro Jackson was getting farther and farther away, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

Lex turned around and told Shanuo:

"Brother, don't go far away recently. Follow me to the top of the West Heaven after a while, and then I will take you to a very interesting place."

"Oh."

Xia Nuo agreed without thinking.

Lex was very surprised:

"Huh? Why are you so calm?"

"Haha, because I've already let it go. You and Roy are both insidious and cunning. The more you talk to people like you, the more mistakes you make."

Lex nodded in agreement:

"really."

"Okay, let's go. Pentles is fine now. I'll have to trouble you to remove the hurricane barriers on the seven sky islands."

Upon hearing this, Shanuo got angry:

"How dare you bring that up? Even if I asked you to surround all seven sky islands with hurricanes, you would still be able to come up with that!"

Lex smiled politely. This was Gut's idea alone, and it was also to retaliate against Lex for opposing his support for Roy. However, Lex certainly couldn't tell Shano directly, so he could only smile:

"Hmm, haha. The more capable you are, the more work you should do, right? The world's number one naturalist?"

When Xia Nuo heard the name "World's No. 1 Naturalist", his nose stood up with pride:

"Hehe! Boy, you are quite sensible!"

“Uh-huh!~”

at the same time--

Roy and Gut are still arranging the follow-up matters of the Expo.

One of them is a think tank among the older generation of pirates and the number three figure in the Hiku Pirates, and the other is a wise and strategic figure among the new generation of pirates and the dream maker of the New World.

The old and the young complement each other and handle things in an orderly manner without missing anything.

So Lex is willing to push many things to the two of them because they are really useful.

"Captain Gutt, do the forces of the Flying Pirates need to be further expanded?"

Roy asked directly without beating around the bush.

Gutt shook his head:

"Not for the time being. Nowadays, most of our pirate forces don't need to rely on direct plundering. The annual franchise fees and business income alone are enough to balance the income and expenditure. If the place is too big, it will be more likely to cause trouble. Of course, this is my personal opinion, and the admiral may not think so."

Roy smiled:

"Mr. Shiki's desire for territory is probably unique among the pirates in the New World."

"Yes, it is only because the young master unified the New World. Otherwise, with the admiral's temper, he would have already set the New World on fire and smoke of war."

"Indeed, but if unification can be achieved through peaceful means, why must war be used?"

"Roy, you have to know that the older generation of pirates lived through an era where absolute strength was everything. All strategies and arrangements were based on equal strength. To put it another way, the young master has achieved what he has today, second only to one man and above ten thousand people. Could it be that he relied solely on his advanced strategic arrangements?"

Roy shook his head:

"No, it's his unparalleled strength."

"That's it. However, the young master has been obsessed with intrigues recently. He has been running to the Holy Land all day long, making all kinds of plans. I don't object, but -"

"It's just that Lex himself doesn't seem to have practiced much."

"Ah."

When Roy heard this, he could hear the hidden meaning behind Gut's words. Wasn't he trying to remind Lex about this?

"I see. I'll remind Lex when I get the chance."

Gutt's Head:

"Thank you, ... there are some things that I, as an elder and a subordinate, cannot say, but as the young master's sworn brother, you can say them."

"Ah."

After bidding farewell to Roger's pirate group, Rex privately gave Camus some instructions and then left Pentles.

In Pentles today, only Gut and Roy, two big names, are left to clean up the mess.

As for the Golden Lion, the Red Earl, and the White Beard, they had left early. They were the very few big shots who did not have to consider Lex's face and strategy.

After leaving Pentles, Rex went directly to Ant Island, the base camp of the Golden Lion.

Coincidentally, the Red Earl also came here with the Golden Lion.

In the attic at the back of the palace.

The water was still flowing, and several people sat together, drinking to their heart's content.

"Hahahaha! The World Expo, this has an appeal that even Rocks can't even have!"

Golden Lion was quite proud that his nephew had accomplished such great achievements and he was also proud of it.

"That's also thanks to your prestige, uncle and master."

"What are your plans next?"

"Return to the West Sea and practice."
