The Black Throne of One Piece

Chapter 5: : The Kingdom of Drums



"It's still a long way off. I have just joined now. Although I succeeded in working at the dock, I don't even have the right to speak. Where can I cover you on the dock? The goods can't be sold at all. I still feel at ease. Do some small business in the city with your heart. How about the briquettes I told you before?"

   Barr shook his head when he heard Williams' words.

   But as of now, his initial plan to come here has been reached. He successfully joined the Ram Gang and successfully entered the dock work he wanted to go to. Then he only needs to continue according to the original plan.

   But this is still not enough. Whether it is Barr or Xiuma and Williams, they are eager to become stronger as soon as possible, eager to complete revenge as soon as possible.

   If any small group wants to grow stronger, money is always indispensable.

   It's just that the three of Baal arrived for the first time. They have not yet fully established themselves in this port city. They have no power or power. It is impossible to get a lot of money here at once.

   In the two weeks since the Barr arrived at the Port of Vília, they have accumulated very little wealth, most of which were obtained by Barr’s risk of smuggling for Ram’s help.

   Xiuma wanted to return to her old career, borrowing some money from the rich people in the city to spend, but he was killed by Barr as soon as he proposed this idea.

  There is no other reason, the risk of stealing is too great.

Strong players have their own strong players. Although Xiuma's stealing skills are good, there must be a lot better than him in this city. Once he appears to the rich or the people in the city, his new face will definitely be quickly The gold finger team in the city found it.

   When the time comes, not only will they face threats from their peers, but they will also be rejected by the people in the city, and the stolen rich will retaliate.

   In short, stealing money is fast, but it is not conducive to Barr's long-term plan to implement here.

   There is only one thing that Barr has arranged for Xiuma at present, and that is to gather intelligence.

   Xiuma uses paper fruits to create small origami beasts that can act as his eyes and ears, and can easily steal a lot of useful information.

   The Drum Kingdom has not yet been ruled by Valbo, nor has it been destroyed by the Blackbeard Pirates, so it is still a very prosperous country.

   Especially after the death of King Roger, the era of big pirates came, chaos around the world, a large number of injuries occur every day, and there is a huge demand for medicines.

   The Drum Kingdom, as a world-renowned medical power, has naturally gained tremendous benefits. It has made huge wealth by exporting a large number of high-quality medicines, and the country has ushered in unprecedented prosperity.

  Villa Port is the largest port city in the Drum Kingdom. A lot of merchant ships come here every day, and the daily cargo throughput can reach more than 100,000 tons.

Therefore, there are many people coming in and going out of the pier of the port of Vella every day, and there are all kinds of people. It is a good idea to describe it as a mixture of fish and dragons. Among them, the pirate ship is disguised as an ordinary merchant ship and mixed in for supply and maintenance. The number is not a minority.

   The purpose of Baal's asking Xiuma to collect information on the dock is very simple, that is, to prepare to hunt these pirates who have entered the port, or to sell the information of these pirates to bounty hunters, or even to inquire about some commercial secrets.

   Using intelligence to make money, in Baal's view, this is the most appropriate way for Xiuma to make money right now.

It’s a pity that this way of making money by selling intelligence is more about luck and credit accumulation. Naturally, the newcomer Xiuma hasn't made any money with it. But some trade secrets overheard made Williams with a business acumen. Some money.

  ......

"Well, that's a shame. I have already found a pharmacist. Although it is only a trainee level, I can indeed make some simple therapeutic drugs. If you help me on the dock, I can immediately use the money we have accumulated to establish A small workshop of survival medicine will definitely be able to make a fortune at that time, and those pirates who have money and die will be very willing to buy it.

   As for the briquettes you mentioned, they have been successfully produced, but they cannot be burned without smoke for the time being. Maybe the raw materials have not been completely found, but you can rest assured that this thing is not difficult to make. This problem should be solved soon. "

   Williams heard Barr’s answer and said with a slight regret.

   In the past two weeks, he and Barr have been making money, and the accumulated funds have reached 200,000 Baileys, which is a little primitive accumulation.

   Yesterday, he managed to fool a very poor pharmacist. He waited for Barr to successfully join the Ram Gang, had an umbrella, and made a fortune by selling healing medicines.

  At the port of Vella, medicine is gold, so there is no need to worry about not being sold.

   It's a pity that it's still not possible for the time being.

   Just like Barr said, if Barr does not have a certain right to speak in the dock area controlled by the Ram Gang, his medicines will definitely not be sold.

Because the drug business of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom has long been monopolized by major consortia, a small businessman like him wants to engage in the drug business, but he didn’t have a backing point. Life may be gone.

"Don't worry, the medicine business in the magnetic drum kingdom is too deep. It is not something we can covet for the time being. Let's continue to do small business and research and develop briquette, especially briquettes. Winter is coming soon. This thing is a new product and no one will compete for the time being. , We can definitely make a fortune."

   Barr saw Williams showing regret and patted his shoulder with his hand, encouraging.

   Then, he turned his head and said to Xiuma, "How is your manpower development going?"

Since    Xiuma started the work of intelligence collection, UU read www.uukanshu.com he found that it was too troublesome to collect it by himself, so he asked Barr to increase manpower to help him collect intelligence.

   For the intelligence collection, Barr values ​​it very much.

  Because they can give them a great help, they may even help them in finding the fruit of Tuntun, and may even save their lives.

   So Barr agreed to Xiuma's request without thinking, and gave him enough funds. In the past two weeks, half of the money Barr and Williams earned were spent on this.

Xiu Ma did not disappoint Barr. So far, he has formed an intelligence group of about ten people. The members are all helpless orphans in the slums. Each one is carefully selected by Xiu Ma, and they are all ages. Under ten years old.

   "It's okay, two of them are barely usable." Xiuma replied truthfully.

   "That's good, remember not to forget the ideological education work, this is very important, they are all the seedlings that you have cultivated so hard, can they not grow crooked."

   Barr nodded, and then reminded.

   Xiuma said with a solemn expression: "Of course, if it becomes crooked, I will cut it off by myself."

   With Xiuma's assurance, Baal didn't say anything any more, and poured a glass of hot milk for the two of them himself, and then walked out the door to the cold courtyard and started daily exercise.

Soon, Barr performed this strange set of movements in the courtyard. He seemed to be practicing a special kind of yoga. His hands, feet and body seemed to be boneless, and he continued to perform various serious twisting movements that ordinary people seemed to be unable to do. , And then walked on the ground keeping a specific breathing rhythm.
