Chapter 434: Darkly shaking (?) beard

Chapter 434 Dark + Zhen Zhen = (?) Beard

When Whitebeard was alive, they did not dare to come out to provoke him. They only dared to jump out after hearing the news of Whitebeard's death. Such pirates have no ability to compete for hegemony. They have no ability to resist when they meet a real strong man.

For Frankenstein, the greatest significance of such pirates is to exchange for bounties, and 80 million bounties are not low.

However, now these 80 million Baileys can only go with the wind. After all, the navy has to follow procedures. No matter how good the relationship is, it becomes extremely complicated for a pirate without a head to prove his identity, and the exchange value is directly reduced to zero.

After complaining verbally, Frankenstein quickly returned to the work process. After a few lightning strikes, the pirates on the island were completely eliminated, and then they came to the trembling islanders.

"Don't be afraid. We are not pirates and will not harm your safety. We just heard that there are some sulfur mines on this island, so we want to establish trade relations with this place.

You should recognize this flag. We will protect our trading partners from pirates. It's up to you whether you accept it or not."

The people on the island are not fools. Leliana's meaning is very clear. In a sense, this is no different from the era of Whitebeard.

The islands hand over resources as protection fees in exchange for the protection of the strong. This kind of thing is quite common in the eyes of the residents of the New World. They don't know how many years have passed.

It's just that Whitebeard's protection lasted the longest. Whitebeard brought them a long time of stability. They couldn't accept Whitebeard's death for a while.

After a moment of hesitation, the people on the island readily agreed to Leliana's request. The tea beard who had just attacked had proved to them that the name of Whitebeard had lost its deterrent power.

If they don't find a new umbrella quickly, who knows what will happen in the future, and they also remember Leliana, the woman who tied with Whitebeard more than ten years ago.

With her as a military guarantee, the safety of the island will not be a problem.

"Please give us some time. This year's protection fee has been paid once. We have to wait for a new batch."

Whitebeard is also a pirate, not a charity. He is indeed constantly transporting treasures to Sphinx Island, but those treasures did not fall from the sky. They were also robbed by the Whitebeard Pirates in battles with other pirates.

In addition to maintaining the lives of the residents of Sphinx Island, the Whitebeard Pirates also need a lot of funds, which are naturally provided by the islands under their command.

What these big pirates in the New World have done is beyond the scope of pirates. They have become warlords who rule one side. This is the financial system under their command.

Now that the umbrella has been changed, everything has to start all over again. The people in the New World also know this.

This island is still rich and is ready to spend money to buy peace. Although this will be poor for a while, it is better than losing your life.

"Don't be so impatient. We have already said that we are here for free trade. How can we force you to starve and pay taxes? Let's do this for this year."

The words are different, but the essence is the same. The reason why it is free trade instead of direct occupation is that the speed of territorial expansion would be too fast if it were to do so.

The World Government always cares about some nominal things. Most of the islands in the New World are non-member countries. In theory, it is legal for member countries to occupy and plunder in any way.

However, there is a difference between expanding trade zones and occupying territories, so this method is used to complete the superficial process.

For new areas, there must always be some preferential policies to attract people's hearts. People in these places can't feel that their lives are worse than when they were ruled by pirates.

As soon as Leliana finished speaking, a new pirate flag appeared on the sea in the distance. Judging from the pattern, it still belongs to the flag of the BIG MOM Pirates.

When Leliana saw them, the pirates on the ship naturally noticed the changes on the island.

"Lord Daifuku, it's Princess Leliana. They seem to have gotten there first. What should we do?"

"Should we just bypass them like before?"

Charlotte Linlin is also a greedy person. She is quite jealous of Whitebeard's territory. She used to be restrained because of Whitebeard's power, but now that Whitebeard is dead, she will certainly not be polite.

The territories of the Four Emperors are adjacent to each other, and at most there are some loose pirate alliances as buffer zones.

Now that Whitebeard is gone, the buffer zone has no meaning to exist. Those pirate groups that survived in the buffer zone have been cleaned up by the people sent by BIG MOM. They either join or die.

After completing these things, some people started the next round of expansion without stopping, striving to occupy more territory before the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates return.

The remaining captains and captains are indeed no match for Charlotte Linlin herself, but they can still give Charlotte Linlin's cadres a headache.

Dafu led a team, but he saw Piltover's flags all the way.

If he met someone else, Dafu would have led his men to attack directly, but Leliana was special, and their choice was always to bypass her. There were still many islands that could be occupied, so there was no need to have conflicts with them at this time.

This time, Dafu met Leliana in person, so the pirates under his command had doubts.

"Of course we can't bypass her directly. We have met her in person, so we have to say hello anyway."

In addition to greeting, Dafu also wanted to ask about Leliana's next itinerary, so he took a detour.

Sailing on the sea is also very tiring. It is not good news to find that you have traveled in vain after sailing for several days.

In terms of strength and fame, Leliana is not inferior to BIG·MOM. As she grows older, she has the title of the strongest woman, so Dafu's attitude even seems a little respectful.

After all, according to the seniority that Charlotte Lingling made up herself, Dafu has to call Leliana aunt.

After seeing this scene, the people on the island had their own ideas. They discussed it privately and decided to collect a batch of tributes.

Leliana is not Leliana's business. Whether to send or not is a matter of their attitude. Such a person with both strength and face is rare. Holding on to the thigh of the other party is the way to survive in the future of the New World.

A few days later, Piltover.

The war on the top has come to an end, and Marinford has also begun to repair the work. It is better to say that it is reconstruction than repair.

There is basically no intact place in the entire Marinford now. Even the navy building has completely collapsed. The rest has become a dangerous building under the earthquake and is difficult to repair.

There is no need to bother others for this kind of work. The navy already has its own engineering team, especially the soldiers under Garp. Under the leadership of those soldiers, the healthy soldiers have started their new work in full swing.

Oran returned to the main island after the incident and began to draw a new information map.

"Oran, the new news from Riley and Fran is that the New World is basically over. These are the islands they have dealt with, and they have been marked on the nautical chart."

In front of the three-dimensional image of the New World, gear signs lit up on countless islands, and some had red danger arrows, which were islands that had not been completely cleaned up.

After all, Leliana is not Whitebeard. Because of the frequency of activities, her deterrence to the pirate group is actually not as good as Whitebeard. It will take some time to establish her prestige completely.

"Riley said everything went smoothly over there, but it just took a little time. She will handle it as soon as possible."

"I see. Rileyanna's ability will definitely handle the things over there. You try this first."

In the laboratory, Oran threw a shield on the experimental table to Kate. It was a little inaccurate to say that it was a shield. This thing looked even more like a ring with a special proportion.

Not only did it not have the curved surface of a traditional shield, but there was even a big hole in the middle of the shield, as if an attack hole was deliberately left out.

"Isn't the shape of this thing too weird?"

Gestured with the thing in her hand, the more Kate looked at it, the more she felt that this thing looked like a toilet seat. It was weird no matter how she used it.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

"It's a small problem. It can be modified later. Now the main problem is the function."

Olan debugged a few switches on it. As the shield mechanism started, the empty part in the middle was suddenly filled with darkness, and a little black smoke also came out of the shield, giving people the illusion that the shield was short-circuited.

"Dark-Dark Fruit?"

"Yes, it is a special item made from the blood of Blackbeard. Although the Dark-Dark Fruit is the most special natural fruit, it can be used in scientific research and is more useful than the Shining-Sparkling Fruit and the Ice Fruit."

Natural, animal, and superhuman are the three major categories of devil fruits. After conquering the bloodline factor, these fruits have different codes in the eyes of Orlan, Vegapunk and others.

Depending on the different fruit subcategories, the complexity of the code is also different, among which the natural code is the most complex.

But there are exceptions in the fruit. The natural devil fruit has extremely special and complex codes because it has the ability to elementalize, and it is a bottom-level code that is difficult to cross.

Both Orlan and Vegapunk have only studied some weapons based on the fruit, and have not completely conquered the difficulty of the natural devil fruit.

The Dark-Dark Fruit is different. As a devil fruit without the ability to elementalize, its code is the simplest one among the natural devil fruits, and is even closer to the superhuman devil fruit.

This also makes the Dark-Dark Fruit the first natural devil fruit conquered in Orlan's hands.

Relying on this code, Orlan made a shield that incorporates the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

When used on weapons and props, the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to restrain the ability user is not as good as Seastone, and its direct attack power is also a little worse, but it is different when used on protective gear.

Mechanical props do not need to consider the problem of pain, and the weakness of the Dark-Dark Fruit's double pain disappears directly, and the ability to accommodate all attacks becomes the best shield, and it is even a shield that can counter-injure.

After the initial test, Orlan and Kate found that invisible attacks will be sucked into the darkness of the shield and dissipated directly, while tangible objects will be crushed by that force and can be released through reverse operation.

However, this shield also has some problems. First, the direction of the dark gravity will not only affect the direction facing the shield, but also affect the shield holder when the power is too high.

Secondly, the space in the black hole. The dark space in the hands of the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability user is almost infinite, and it will not be filled even if all the houses on the island are swallowed.

However, after installing it on the shield in a special form, the space for accommodation becomes smaller.

This has also become a new target to conquer, so that the dark gravity released by the shield will only affect the front, and will not affect the back.

In addition, a new metal combat body is also on the way to birth. The Project Shiki has both blue blood made by the Floating Fruit and weapons made by the Thunder Fruit.

This body prepared for Whitebeard uses blue blood made by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and a shield made by the Dark-Dark Fruit. It can be regarded as inheriting Blackbeard's "will" and creating a "capable person" who has both the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

After some minor problems are completely solved, this new combat body can be officially launched.

Blackbeard's alien-like physique also played a significant role. If it were an ordinary person, it would be quite troublesome to bear the original blood extraction.

In the war at the top, Orlan gained enough benefits and got what he wanted. After the war, he got back on track, but the impact of the war was more than that.

Because of its geographical location, Piltover's homeland was not directly affected by the war at the top, but other places were different.

Especially the place where the war took place, Marinford, even after a lot of repairs, has only turned it from a ruin into a construction site. Even Sengoku can only work in a tent that was temporarily built.

The result of this war on the top is mixed compared to the original timeline.

Ace did not die here, which did not achieve some results, but the goal of killing Whitebeard and severely damaging the Whitebeard Pirates was still achieved.

Garp did not give up, and Sengoku did not turn gray and retire in a short time, and his high-end combat power was more complete.

But because of the disruption of the Golden Lion and those monsters, the casualties of ordinary soldiers were not very good.

Those soldiers could only be cannon fodder in the war on the top, but when they returned to their branches, they were the backbone there, and a group of people together were enough to maintain the normal operation of a branch.

Especially those from the Four Seas Branch, those people were even the leaders of the local branches.

Such a large number of people died in battle, which caused a lot of consumption to the navy's officer reserves over the years. The recruits who graduated from the naval school and the adjutants from all over the country could not make up for this gap at all.

In addition, the news about One Piece gradually leaked out on the battlefield, and the number of pirates on the sea increased. Many of the four seas branches were short of manpower, and a recruitment campaign was almost imminent.
