Chapter 41 Joining and Gifts

Today, the whole ocean is in madness.

The reason is simple. Today's World Economic Society newspaper only reported one thing - the death of Captain John!

This piece of news occupied all the pages of the newspaper, and the rest of the page was almost entirely devoted to reporting to the world John's career experience and his famous sea treasure: Captain John's treasure!

The newspaper reported:

《Shock! The Great New World Pirate John Died in Battle! Does This Mean...?》

《The beginning of the rampage of the times? Or the victory of justice? John's death means...》

The newspaper first told the exact evidence of John's death: John's life card was burned out, and a reward order for John was used as the main page picture.

Because no one took a picture of John's death, and no one even knows how he died.

"Recently, Captain John, a great pirate, died mysteriously. His last known location was the Totaon Islands. Our investigation revealed that John's life card had been completely burned out, and his territory had been completely taken over by the Flying Pirates."

Then, the newspaper used a great deal of space to introduce John's legendary life, especially focusing on the treasure he left behind, the treasure of Captain John who was known as the one with the most Baileys!

It was enough to arouse the ambitions of countless people in this sea. People were vying to discuss who had got the treasure, or whether it had been obtained by the legendary golden lion?

............

At this time, deep in the island of Ant, in the backyard of the palace, the golden lion sat at the top, and below him were Rhine, Agulas Gut, Lily, Monlala Pepe, Brianna Rania and others.

There are also several new dark kings joining.

Currency Field, new agent, Donald Simi.

Killer Field, 'Big Name Undertaker', Pierre Crowe.

In the field of maritime transport, 'deep currents', Umit.

And, the latest addition to the warehousing field, the 'Hidden Master', Kiberson.

Today, except for the fleet captains who are out on missions or guarding territories, all the other senior officers of the Flying Pirates have gathered together.

Just because the young master asked me to do this...

"Oh, what? Young Master, are you going to let me stand here just because of these few people? Hmm?"

Lily said with some frustration as she shook Lex's arm.

"Sister Lily, Piercro, Umit, Kiberson, and Ximi will all be our partners in the future. Of course, we need to let everyone get to know each other. Although we need to remain secretive to the outside world, we must unite internally."

Lex spoke with a serious face. He seldom spoke to Lily so seriously. However, this time Lily's idea was very deviant, so Lex spoke much more seriously.

"Oh, I know I was wrong, please don't be so mean to me..."

Lily's face was full of grievance, and the words "you bully me" were almost written on her face.

Lex's tone of voice was just a little heavier, but in Lily's eyes, the young master was always very gentle to her and always spoke in a soft voice.

"I'm sorry, Sister Lily. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that Pierre Crowe and the others are really important. Okay, stop pouting, Sister Lily. I really don't mean to be angry."

Looking at Lily's aggrieved look, Lex could only explain patiently and coax Lily like a little girl. He always treated Lily as his own sister, although Lily always wanted to replace Gion.

"I will get along well with them, young master, please don't worry about me, oh~"

Lily grimaced and looked at Lex and said.

"Um, I'm Piercro, nice to meet you, Jelly Queen (Lily's nickname), please take care of me. Thank you for taking care of Monlala Pepe over the past few years! Thank you very much!"

Because of Pepe, Piercro, who had the closest connection with the Flying Pirates, took the initiative to come over and bowed.

Prior to this, Piercro had expressed his gratitude to Admiral Golden Lion, 'King' Rhine, and 'Flying Knight' Gutt.

Lily looked at the tall man in front of her who was wearing a clown-like mask, had lion-like sideburns, and was holding a sickle. She thought of the warning just given by the young master beside her and nodded slightly.

"Well, hello, my name is Lily, you can just call me Lily. Jelly Queen or something like that is a title given by the ugly navy."

Lily patiently greeted Pierre Crowe, and Lex saw it all.

"Hahahaha, Piercro, Sister Lily has recognized you, why don't you show some appreciation?"

Lex reminded meaningfully.

"This is a gift specially prepared for Ms. Lily. I don't know if it's appropriate."

Pierre Crowe took out a carefully prepared gift box. Lily took it and opened it. She found that it was a gorgeous and luxurious hairpin. It was royal blue, transparent, and inlaid with many diamonds. It was obviously carefully selected.

Before this, Piercro had specifically asked Pepe what the bigwigs of the Flying Pirates liked. Pepe was vague and only gave a general idea, but as an old friend, Piercro obviously understood.

So, catering to their tastes and preparing gifts specifically for everyone from the Golden Lion to Captain von Sias of Fleet No. 12, can we say that he is worthy of being in the underworld?

Humanity and sophistication.

Each gift cost a lot of money. The cigar given to Golden Lion was the best from the North Sea, which not all Tianlong people might have.

Lily tried the hairpin, put it on the back of her head, and looked at Lex.

"Master, does it look good?"

"Yeah, haha, it suits Sister Lily very well."

"Oh! You are very good, Pierre. I like this gift very much."

Lily called out Piercro's name, which represented a kind of acceptance, but there was some reason related to Lex in it, which was unknown.

"Haha, as long as Ms. Lily likes it."

Pierre Crowe laughed.

The other dark kings were not to be outdone and presented gifts to several senior executives of the Feikong Pirates.

The Dark Kings present were Piercrot, Umit, and Donald Simi, who took over after Du Field's death.

And the emperor of the warehousing field, the 'Hidden Master', Kiberson, whom Lex personally recruited a few days ago!

The old guy was a little unhappy at that time.

But when he saw that Lex had recruited Piercro and Umit and killed Du Field, he immediately became obedient, completely different from the arrogant person at the beginning.

The reason is very simple. Umit is the big brother of Giberson. One is responsible for shipping and the other is responsible for warehousing. They have joined forces for so many years, and their business dealings can be said to be closely connected.

As soon as Umit arrived, he surrendered directly to Lex.

At this point, except for Morgans, who is currently hiding and whom Lex can't find, and Stussy, who Lex doesn't want to take action against for the time being, the entire underground world has almost been incorporated by Lex!

Four dark kings, one dead and three surrendered, the four major realms are now in Lex's hands.

Although there are still many uncertainties, as well as some little thoughts and actions of several dark kings behind the scenes, Lex has seen all of these.

It is understandable. Even if the dark kings appear to be submissive and obedient on the surface, Lex can see clearly what is in their hearts.

But I didn't delve into it.

Because he understood that he was only temporarily recruiting them with the huge power and background behind him.

As long as the full-scale war breaks out in a few days, these will not be a problem. There is nothing that cannot be solved by force. If there is, it is because there is not enough firepower.

I will use my absolute power to intimidate all villains!

The young master of the Leon family has already gone to sea!
