Chapter 56: Three Female Members, Everyone Gets a Share! Roger Pirates Make a Surprise Appearance!
"Alright, Newgate, Lingling, it's your turn to choose."
"Two Devil Fruits for one person, plus two billion Berries."
"As for rare materials, each of you will receive two hundred catties. You can choose them yourselves after the banquet."
"Kuralalala, I understand."
"Alright, alright, Kaido, go ahead and pick two out."
Whitebeard did it himself.
He randomly took two of the remaining eight Devil Fruits, not caring what abilities they had.
He then took another two billion peggs and returned to his seat.
He wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the spoils, since it wasn't something he spearheaded.
After hearing what Linlin said, Kaido stepped out from behind her.
Similarly, they took two Devil Fruits with unknown abilities, and two billion Berries.
Kaido is an apprentice and has no right to share the spoils.
He returned to his seat and began to devour the flesh of the sea king.
He's been quite worn out these past few days and needs to be replenished.
Lingling in front of him was like a monstrous beast, about to drain his tall frame dry.
If I don't take some extra supplements, I won't be able to hold on tonight.
"Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and John, each of you will receive one billion Berries."
"good!"
With a wave of their hands, the three men quickly stepped forward and took away one billion Berries.
After that, Lockes glanced at all the officers present.
They found that there were no Stussy, Flame Flower, or Peony plants nearby.
After a moment's thought, he said...
"Stusi, Flameflower, and Peony, each of you take 500 million Berries as a prize."
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
"Thank you, Captain."
"Me too! Oh, thank you, Captain!"
The women who were named were either surprised or delighted.
They never expected to receive a share of the spoils.
I originally thought that the distribution of spoils would only be for the officers.
These ordinary members definitely have nothing.
Unexpectedly, there was such a pleasant surprise.
After thanking Rocks, he walked straight up and took away 500 million Berries.
It wasn't much, but I'm really satisfied!
This can be considered one of Lox's methods of managing his subordinates.
They were the three female pirates on the ship, second only to the officers.
Stussy is one of the few scientists on board, and he can be trained.
Flame Flower originates from the Amazon Lily, a kingdom of women.
This country has a full-fledged military force, making it ideal for replenishing its low- and mid-level combat power.
In order to deal with further attacks from the World Government and the Navy.
Lox wouldn't mind giving Flameflower a little something at this time.
Let this woman know who her real powerhouse is.
As for Peony, as a top intelligence operative in the new world, she is also worth focusing on developing.
Five hundred million Berries each, that's only 1.5 billion in total, a drop in the ocean.
The distribution of spoils has now come to a successful conclusion.
With a wave of his hand, several of his trusted men stepped forward.
Cover up all the remaining spoils and take them with you.
These were Lox's own spoils of war.
After all that, there are two ordinary Devil Fruits left, worth 55 billion Berries.
Even after all the materials have been selected from the warehouse, there will still be 600 jin of rare materials left.
His achievements were second only to Brian and Golden Lion.
It even surpasses Whitebeard and Lingling.
He is, after all, the captain and the leader of the pirate crew.
"Hahaha, then let's end the banquet here for today."
"Everyone, have a few more drinks, then you can prepare to leave if you're ready."
ton ton ton~
With so much extra income all at once, Lox was in a great mood.
It's really good to have a lot of talented people under your command.
He didn't even need to lift a finger; the good stuff would just jump right into his arms.
Of course, it's simple to do that.
All you need is the power of Rocks to dominate an entire era.
Yes, you only need to do this one step.
"Report!!!"
Just after announcing the end of the banquet, Rocks was preparing to leave.
As a result, a notification quickly came through, drawing Lockes' attention back.
The four senior officers, the three ordinary officers, and the other crew members all looked over.
"Captain, the Roger Pirates have launched an attack on our black market in the Lyra Sea."
"The black market has been destroyed, and all the treasure has been stolen."
bang~
"Damn Roger Pirates, that bastard, has he gone mad?"
Upon hearing this, before Rocks could react, the Golden Lion was the first to become restless.
He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and looked quite surprised.
Did the Roger Pirates launch a preemptive attack?
Are they crazy?
It's important to know that in recent years, the Roger Pirates have risen to prominence in the New World.
They quickly grew into the second largest pirate force in the New World, second only to the Rocks Pirates.
On the surface, the two pirate crews, the eldest and second eldest, are relatively restrained.
Although some fighting occurred, it was all at the level of minor figures.
On the surface, there hasn't been any power struggle among the top leaders for quite some time.
This is also closely related to the work priorities of both sides in recent years.
For Rocks, his next task is to take action against the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.
As a member of the D clan, the extreme emotions accumulated by his ancestors have increasingly taken hold of Rocks' mind.
He seeks revenge against the World Government and aims to expand his influence beyond the New World.
For this reason, he has intentionally reduced his staff over the past year or so, and has not caused much of a stir in the New World.
Naturally, he didn't have much time to pay attention to the situation of Roger's pirate crew.
No matter how much they develop, they can't defeat him, Rocks.
This is the confidence of the world's number one pirate.
As for the Roger Pirates, they were relatively laid-back.
As members of the same D clan, Roger grew up...
It also focuses on the hundred years since our ancestors disappeared.
His ancestors' humiliation made him very interested in this period of history.
Although collecting all the historical texts was a pipe dream, Roger was willing to be a pioneer and give it a try.
Fortunately, there are already quite a few promising signs.
And so, after becoming the second largest economy in the new world.
Roger was not in a hurry to clash with the boss.
He was always traveling around the new world with his group of men.
Sometimes you don't see them for months at a time.
The mutual avoidance of war, whether intentional or not, has almost become a tacit agreement between the two sides.
Let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other, then everyone will be fine.
Since both sides intentionally avoided war, a fight naturally did not break out.
Everyone is gradually forming routines, so there's no chance of conflict for now.
As for what happens next, everyone knows perfectly well.
The eldest and second eldest brothers are bound to clash sooner or later.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the Roger Pirates took the initiative to provoke a conflict.
The black market in the Lyra Sea is one of the few key black markets under the Rocks Pirates.
It is very prosperous and generates huge profits for them every year.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, it was destroyed by the Roger Pirates.
What a disgrace! Are the Roger Pirates going to fight the Rocks Pirates to the death?
That's why the Golden Lion was even more furious.
He also has a stake in the Lyra black market.
Damn it, the Roger Pirates are all bastards.
