Chapter 66: Heavenly Gold in the New World

Lex continued to travel around the islands in the New World, meeting Piercro, Umit, and Kiberson one after another.

After this battle, the New World has become Lex's possession and he has changed his name to Leon!

And the underground world will naturally expand across the board.

The warehousing business of the 'Hideaway Master' Giberson has quietly blossomed on various islands in the New World. With wave after wave of financing, the size of the industry has continued to grow steadily, and it has roughly reached the scale of the later Great Pirate Era when the Four Emperors were in power.

Only then did Gibson completely and sincerely submit to Lex's command.

Using force alone to coerce is too stupid. Even Kaido, who advocates power, knows to cooperate with Kurozumi Orochi and erode Wano Country step by step.

What's more, what about Leon Lex?

The other dark kings were also unwilling to lag behind. From the day Umit joined, Lex promised that his industry would soon enter a period of expansion.

As the aftermath of the war continued to brew and spread, Umit finally understood what "expansion" meant.

The entire new world already belongs to the young master.

The so-called expansion is naturally to cover the new world with one's own shipping business, and continue to expand to paradise and the four seas.

Lex also told Umit a piece of news that in a few years, Lex would come up with a technology that would allow ships to cross the doldrums. By then, the waterway would break through natural barriers and span the four seas.

Qinghai is so big, there is nowhere you can’t go.

Umit was extremely excited. With the little understanding he had about the young master, he knew that the young master would definitely do what he said, and he was looking forward to it.

Pierre Crowe's killer business also expanded further with the help of the broad platform provided by Lex.

Just imagine what a grand occasion it will be when the underground world’s currency field, killer field, shipping field, and warehousing field are integrated.

To put it bluntly, the economic lifeline of this ocean is slowly being grasped by Lex!

Those who suffer are naturally the vast majority of civilians who are already in dire straits.

Every expansion of the underground world and every business deal are almost inseparable from blood and killing. This is the essence of this ocean.

But what does that have to do with Lex?

In short, under the secret instructions of Lex, several dark kings, secretly launched a series of cooperation. Although they had cooperated before, in the final analysis, they were all acting on their own.

And now, they only serve Leon Lex!

When darkness unites, there is no place for justice!

...........

After meeting several dark kings, Rex did not return to the base camp of the Sky Pirates, but came to the Antalya Islands.

This is the base camp of the "Swift Swordsman" Shanuo, located in the extreme western waters of the New World, covered with ice and snow all year round.

At this time, heavy snow was also falling in the Antalya Islands.

In the hall, Lex, Shanuo and Roy were sitting idly. Roy had just arrived.

"Is Gion okay?"

Shanuo asked about what Lex had talked to him a few days ago.

"Ah, it's okay. Gion is actually very considerate. Sometimes she gets angry just because I can't always be with her."

Lex held the hot tea in his hand and casually explained that the people present were all of the same age and there were no elders, so Lex was also very casual.

"I feel like no matter how busy you are with the planning, you should still have plenty of time to spend with Gion."

Shanuo took the hot tea handed to him by Benny and looked at Lex.

"You want Gion to grow faster, right?"

Roy answered Shano's question for Lex.

"Yes, that's what my second brother said. There is no place better than the navy to train people. Besides, it's not easy to have a future navy top fighter who is absolutely trustworthy."

Lex replied.

"I still like Benny to be by my side every day."

Xia Nuo suddenly looked at Benny beside him and smiled.

Shanuo's sudden confession made Benny blush and she lowered her head slightly.

Roy rolled his eyes. He was the only one among the three who didn't have a wife.

So Roy asked about other things.

"How's the underground world going?"

"Well, it's basically fine, but it will take another one to three years to be completely stable."

Lex believes that even if all obstacles are removed, it will still take years for these businesses to expand.

Digest these forces first, then gradually move out of the new world and head towards the wider ocean!

However, all of this needs to be done slowly.

"Well, step by step, we have reached the current situation. To be honest, it is somewhat beyond my expectations."

Roy said.

"How to say?"

Shano asked.

Roy continued to explain.

"At first I thought the World Government would not give up the New World so easily, but they have not made any moves so far. It seems like they have really given up the New World."

Roy looked at Lex again. There must be a deeper game here, and Lex must know it.

"....They may give us the New World, but it won't be that easy. How could Mary Geoise give up the gold from so many countries? However, the ownership of these issues cannot be resolved by war. There will definitely be some wrangling. We'll see when the time comes."

What Lex meant was that it was unrealistic to completely bring the New World under his control.

Gold in the sky is the biggest contradiction!

“What is our bottom line?”

Roy immediately understood the meaning behind Lex's words, so he asked directly how much room for retreat Lex was prepared to leave in the upcoming game.

Roy's wisdom is definitely one of the best among all the great pirates in the New World.

"The bottom line is....they were given the gold from heaven, but there had to be cuts. Moreover, it was not stated who gave them the gold from heaven."

"!!?you mean....?"

Before Shanuo understood the deeper meaning of Lex's words, Roy had already thought of an incredible possibility.

Lex smiled.

"Yes, we will give you the gold from heaven!"

"Isn't this a stupid move!?"

Xia Nuo was puzzled. Why should he pay heavenly gold to those bastards of Mary Geoise for the new world he conquered?

Roy directly explained for Lex

"Although we are the ones giving it, the amount will inevitably be reduced a lot. However, this way, our control over the New World will become more entrenched!"

Roy continued to add.

"Imagine what would happen if we told the countries in the New World that they no longer had to pay Heavenly Gold and no longer had to be subject to the rule of the Celestial Dragons?"

"Even so, they won't be grateful to us, right? What's more, how about the money to fill the gold in the sky? They won't let us pay for it ourselves, right?"

Shanuo expressed his doubts.

"Well, what is the underground world for?"

Roy spoke calmly, and after hearing it, Xia Nuo suddenly looked at his two younger brothers. They were both people with sinister intentions!

"Use the underground world to make money in these countries, and then take out a portion to shut up the world government?"

Thinking of this, Xia Nuo continued

"You two didn't expect this day to come from the day you laid out your plans for the underground world, did you?"

Roy shook his head but looked at Lex playfully.

"...I didn't expect that, but it would really make these countries feel uncomfortable. It's very uncomfortable."

Lex took a sip of the slightly cooled hot tea and answered calmly.

Yes, in this way, the World Government will lose the last bit of control over the New World. The underground world does business in these countries, and these businesses have no bottom line, but these countries don’t know that without the deterrence of the World Government, these countries are just fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

But at the same time, Lex made them no longer have to worry about the gold in the sky.

As for some countries that are unwilling and do not want to break away from the control of the world government, then there is no need for these countries to exist!
