Chapter 49 Tianlong people are also valuable

"I see……"

The other five old stars looked at each other, and finally smiled bitterly without saying anything.

For the Tianlong people, the so-called bloodline is very important, but it is not that important.

There is never mercy or mercy from the superior.

Only interests are eternal.

Anyway, something like a son can have a few more at any time.

"What a sensible kid."

"This saves us a lot of time."

"One billion Baileys is not a small amount."

"indeed."

The five old stars gave their comments one by one.

Saint Damocles smiled and said:

"Darren is a very smart kid. Maybe after this incident, we can maintain some contact with him for a long time."

Hearing this, the eyes of the other Five Old Stars lit up slightly.

This is a good idea.

Anyone can see that Rogers Darren, the North Sea Admiral, will sooner or later enter the ranks of the Navy's top decision-makers.

With his talents and talents, becoming an admiral might just be a matter of time.

At that time, there will be a naval admiral who directly obeys the orders of the World Government, and their control over the navy will be greatly increased, and they will also be able to play a "monitoring" role over other generals in the navy.

Damocles saw the changes in the expressions of several colleagues and sneered in his heart.

He has been ranked as the highest authority in the world government, and his power is overwhelming. A casual order or a casual look can cause the destruction of a country.

But he was not satisfied with this.

His name is Damocles!

The legendary sword that represents the authority of "god"!

His ultimate goal is the seat of the "Head of the Five Old Stars".

However, unlike other Five Old Stars, the family behind Saint Damocles does not have great influence and power in the Holy Land.

The support and foundation of the Holy Land are far inferior to those of several colleagues.

If he wants to step into that "below one person" position, he must enlist external forces.

As the largest violent law enforcement agency under the World Government, the Navy is his breakthrough point.

Starting from the support of Rogers Darren, he quickly ascended to the position of real power in the Navy, and gradually took the power of the Navy into his own hands step by step.

By then, your voice in the world government will naturally be greatly increased.

"But before that, let's take a look at the results of this investigation."

Damocles smiled and changed the subject, slowly opening the file in his hand.

————

Beihai, Branch 321.

Base Chief's Office.

After seeing off Warring States, Darren took Flying Squirrel and others back directly from Badia Island.

"So...are you sure there are no problems in the Holy Land?"

The flying squirrel looked at Darren sitting there calmly and smoking a cigar, and finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked.

Darren blew out a dragon-like white smoke from his mouth, narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"I sent a very heartfelt condolence to the Shields Saint family and they couldn't refuse it."

When he said the word "sincere", he deliberately emphasized his tone.

"What condolences?" Flying Squirrel asked blankly.

"A billion Baileys."

"What!?"

The flying squirrel gasped, unable to believe his ears.

One billion Baileys...this is not a small amount of money.

This is already a whole year’s tax revenue for many small and medium-sized kingdoms!

Looking at the entire North Sea, the taxes collected by Darren and others by supporting countless mafia families and underworld forces add up to just over 2 billion Baileys a year!

And now, in order to send a "condolence", their Beihai Navy has worked for half a year in vain!

Not to mention that in their original plans, let alone in their plans and expectations, the establishment of the North Sea Naval Fleet requires resources and funds that are a bottomless pit.

"Are you crazy?"

The flying squirrel looked at the calm Darren with a helpless face.

As Darren's adjutant, he acts as a "steward" and "staff officer".

Seeing Darren "spending money" like this, Flying Squirrel's heart seemed to be bleeding.

"It's all worth it."

Darren flicked the ashes from his cigarette.

"You can make more money if you don't have it, but not everyone has the opportunity to give gifts to the Celestial Dragons."

"If I hadn't taken the Damocles route this time, the merchant ship I sent wouldn't even be qualified to enter the inland sea of the Red Earth Continent."

One billion Baileys is indeed a terrifying astronomical figure.

You must know that it is only the year 1492 of the Sea Calendar, the era of great pirates has not yet begun, inflation is far less terrifying than that of later generations, and Bailey's purchasing power is still strong.

Even a legendary pirate like Bundy Waldo, known as the "Destroyer of Worlds", has a bounty of only 200 million Baileys.

1 billion Baileys, which is equivalent to 5 Bundy Waldos.

But Darren thinks the money is well spent.

In this world, strength always comes first.

In addition, the second most important thing is power, not money.

The flying squirrel heard Darren's answer, thought about it carefully, and found that it made sense, but it still hurt a little:

"It's still too expensive..."

"Is it expensive?"

Darren looked up at him and suddenly smiled:

"At least I think it's quite interesting."

The flying squirrel asked doubtfully: "What do you mean..."

Darren raised his head and took a puff of his cigar.

"The Tianlong people have the supreme power in the world and can plunder and buy and sell people - anyone - like pigs, dogs and beasts. For them, money is the standard for measuring everything."

"But this time, it shows one thing..."

He paused and said with a mocking smile:

"It turns out that the lives of Tianlong people also have a price."

The flying squirrel smiled silently when he heard this.

This unique brain circuit can only be imagined by Darren, a freak who is full of rebellion and madness in his heart.

After a while,

The flying squirrel thought of something and asked slowly:

"As for the internal investigation of the Navy..."

Darren smiled and said:

"The report has been submitted, and I will provide everything the government needs unconditionally."

"The navigation conditions of various warships and the positions of naval officers at the time of the incident...well, that naturally includes our Beihai Navy."

The flying squirrel frowned and said, "What about you?"

"I?"

Darren seemed to be smiling but not smiling;

"I, the Admiral of the North Sea, was of course stationed on Badia Island when the incident occurred... and I was adhering to my duties."

"On this point, everyone in the North Sea Navy Fleet, as well as members of the inspection team from the Navy Headquarters... Major Kake and Major Gion can all testify for me."

"Yeah, perfect alibi."

With that, Darren put out his cigar and put on his navy cape.

"Let's go. Now that the men in the headquarters are gone, it's time for us to get to work."

The flying squirrel said in astonishment:

"Where to go?"

Darren pushed the door open without any hesitation.

The cold sea breeze blew the cloak behind him like a wild tornado.

"The money lost from one Celestial Dragon must be recovered from another Celestial Dragon."

The flying squirrel was startled for a moment when he heard this, and then understood instantly.

A name flashed through his mind.

——Don Quixote Doflamingo.
