Chapter 65 Give Time 1 Some Time

Moby Dick is the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Since the end of the last war, the New World has been basically unified and nothing major has happened.

So Whitebeard decided to take his children to travel around the New World, starting from his own waters and then heading towards the second half.

After hearing Whitebeard's thoughts, Lex had no doubts.

This was the case in the original plot. The Whitebeard Pirates were not the kind of pirate group that competed for hegemony, so unlike the Golden Lion Pirates, they did not sit in one area while their fleet captains were sent out to guard the waters under their command.

The Whitebeard Pirates are a fairly young and energetic pirate group, and their style of doing things is more like the Roger Pirates next door.

However, Roger traveled around the world, while Whitebeard mainly traveled in the New World.

What Lex thought more about was Kozuki Oden!

If what Lex remembered correctly, Kozuki Oden should have gone to sea with Whitebeard in 1492 of the Kaiyuan calendar.

That is the year after next.

How should I face this man?

Or should we simply prevent him from boarding Whitebeard's ship?

Lex thought a lot, he even thought of Tian Yueshi, the woman from 800 years ago!

The fruit of time, the history of 800 years ago, Pluto the God of Hell buried in Wano Country, the mission of the elephant master, the bond between the Kozuki clan and Zou...

Even, there is that little pervert Kozuki Momonosuke?

Haha, Lex sighed inwardly.

Time and fate, only at this moment did Lex feel that he could change the world!

This confidence comes from the war he started at the end of 1489, his strength that looks down on the sea, and the huge pirate force behind him!

He looked at the white-bearded man in front of him, raised his head and smiled.

"Hahahaha, Dad, sailing across the entire New World? That's a great idea. The future will definitely be exciting, right?"

Whitebeard was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Lex would ask such a question as "Is the future exciting?", but he still answered it heroically.

"Kulalala, this sea has always been so wonderful!"

..........

After Rex returned to the New World, he went to see the Whitebeard Pirates in the Indochina Sea first, and then came to the Totaon Islands.

This is the headquarters of Du Field, one of the former dark kings of the underground world.

Ever since Du Field was killed by Lex, the person in charge of the underground world's currency sector is now Donald Simi.

"Mr. Lex, this is the recent performance and the Baileys spent on the last bounty on the New World Navy."

Simi handed over a document.

Lex looked intently for a while, and the only sound in the secret room was the friction of fingers turning papers.

Ximi looked nervous, fearing that there would be any mistakes or that there would be something that would displease Lex, and he would be taken advantage of.

He clearly remembered that his previous boss was killed directly by the seemingly gentle blond man in front of him without saying a word because he did not know the current situation.

Lex continued to look at the documents in his hand, frowning slightly from time to time, which made Ximi beside him sweat.

"Well, Simi, good job."

Lex put the file down and smiled.

Ximi felt relieved instantly, but didn't dare to show it. She just bowed slightly respectfully.

"it is my responsibility."

Lex seemed to be reading a document just now, but in fact, he used his Observation Haki to the fullest, not missing any changes in Ximi's heart. Observation Haki can "read minds", so why does he need to read documents? It's just a formality.

It’s just that Lex needs to have a general understanding of the industries under his command so that he can fully coordinate every force in his hands and play the greatest role.

He is not a pirate who burns, kills, plunders, collects protection money, and then lets things grow wildly.

"Ximi, those pirates who came to collect the bounty from the navy, didn't cause any trouble?"

"There were some, most of them were because they were greedy for more Bailey and wanted to rob them. But with the adults from the Flying Pirates guarding, they were all dealt with."

"Well, what do you think about the bounty on the navy?"

Lex suddenly asked.

Donald Simi thought a lot. He thought that Lex suddenly came to Totaon Islands to inspect his work, and he did it well, but he didn't expect Lex to suddenly ask such a crucial question.

This kind of thing was part of the grand strategy and was usually decided by Lex alone. It was difficult for someone at such a high level to get involved, so when asked to talk about bounties on the navy, Ximi didn't know where to start.

But many years of work experience have given him good adaptability in the workplace.

He answered immediately.

"Mr. Lex, bounties on marines have happened in the underground world before, but they were only targeted at individual marines. Most of the time, they were caused by personal grudges. Most of the employers who took these jobs were pirates, pirate hunters, professional killers, etc."

Simi continued.

"But this is the first time that a strategy of offering a bounty to the entire navy of the New World has been implemented. To be honest, I thought it was a little unrealistic at first."

As Ximi spoke, he observed Lex's expression, but Lex remained expressionless.

Lex heard this and nodded slightly.

"Go on."

"Yes, but I was obviously wrong. I misjudged Mr. Lex's power. If this bounty operation of the navy is placed in the context of a total war, it is undoubtedly a brilliant idea. It breaks the navy's usual practice of bountying pirates and puts both sides on the same level. What is particularly striking is that the enthusiasm of the pirates is much higher than that of the navy. In the event of a war breaking out in the entire New World, this will undoubtedly greatly increase our chances of winning."

Lex nodded slightly, he understood.

"So, what you're saying is, unless it's a full-scale war, this approach doesn't really make much sense?"

"......Yes."

Siminane replied that all he said had a premise - that the New World was in chaos and was mired in a huge war.

If it were in peacetime, not many pirates and others would dare to really go against the navy.

There is a reward for killing a navy man, but at the same time, this is challenging the authority of the entire navy and even the world government, and you will definitely not live long!

In other words, it is okay to fish in troubled waters, but it is absolutely not okay to become the target of public criticism!

Although Ximi couldn't see through the new boss in front of him at all, he was very clear about one thing: Lex was not the kind of confused person who had power for nothing.

He is very sober and rational, and attaches great importance to actual results, so Ximi dares to tell the truth.

If Rex was a brutal pirate, Simi would probably just use all his life's knowledge to praise how great Rex's ideas were.

Lex said.

"Yes, that makes sense. We cannot use the same strategy in different periods. Give orders that the bounty on the navy be suspended in April 1490. All bounties earned before that time will be paid out as usual."

"Yes!"

Simi replied quickly.

"By the way, how is the person in charge of the park?"

"Punnas is very sensible. After we informed him of Du Field's death, he took the initiative to join our team. We also sent a group of leaders to the park."

"Well, if you have any questions, contact Agulas Gutt of the Flying Pirates. He is usually your top supervisor. Also, remember, try not to reveal that I am behind the underground world's currency sector if you can."

Although Ximi didn't know why, it was not something she should care about. She just had to do her job well.

"Yes!"

Lex's idea was very simple. Although the Five Elders knew more or less that the underground world of the New World had been roughly unified by him, it would be better not to reveal to the outside world that several dark kings were under his command.

The real war will take many years.

My own strength is far from enough.

Give time some time, wait for the real great era to begin, wait for yourself to quietly reach the peak, and make the future more exciting.
