Chapter 182: The business of giants! Shura Field!

Chapter 182: The business of giants! Shura Field!
As early as when he realized that there was a big deal, Du Field sent his men to join the large fleet of the Space Dark Matter Pirates.

Whenever the shipping king's transport fleet delivers supplies, it is the time for the loan shark king to open for business.

In less than a month after the Super Pirate Fleet set sail, Du Field had already extended loans exceeding 70 billion berries.

Most of these loans were borrowed by the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates to purchase supplies from the Shipping King Umit. The money would soon return to Du Field after passing through Umit's hands.

This was another business started by Du Field, using the berries deposited with him by others to provide usury services. Of course, those who deposited the berries with him could also get a corresponding share.

It was precisely by relying on this continuous cycle of business operations that Du Field was able to issue loans totaling more than 70 billion berries with only less than 3 billion berries in cash.

Moreover, the 70 billion berries must be at least doubled after being recovered. Even the Pirate Emperor cannot deny the debt owed to the King of Loan Sharks.

Fortunately, Boros is not planning to default on his debt, and the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates don't have to worry about how to pay back the money. Just the islands and countries they have occupied along the way can be sold for at least hundreds of billions of berries.

On the flagship Overlord of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, Katakuri walked into the temple with a solemn expression, knelt on one knee skillfully and saluted Boros.

"Master Boros, the G1 branch of the Navy is ahead. Beyond here is the headquarters of the World Government, the Holy Land of Marijoa..."

Katakuri reported in a low voice that as the large fleet got closer and closer to Marijoa, Katakuri felt more and more pressure.

No one knows what kind of cards the World Government, which has been entrenched at the top of the world for eight hundred years, has, but just the tip of the iceberg that has been exposed now makes Katakuri feel uneasy.

Perhaps because they had just accompanied Boros for 'daily exercise', the two Pirate Emperors, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, were not in the temple. Only Boros was sitting on the throne as usual.

Katakuri waited for a while but didn't get a reply from Boros. As he was already used to it, he continued to report.

"...The World Government is constantly mobilizing troops to prepare for war with us. So far, through Morgans' channels, we can roughly estimate the number of troops currently mobilized by the World Government..."

Katakuri pursed his lips, thinking back to the information he got from Morgans, and his mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Katakuri does not take the armies of the World Government's member countries seriously, even though there are many elite troops among them. However, they are still not enough when facing the pirates selected from the harsh environment of the New World.

However, the mercenaries from various major mercenary organizations are not a mob, especially the elite mercenaries from the Country of Endless War who arrived in Marijoa in just a few days, which made Katakuri very wary.

Of course, he himself had nothing to be afraid of, but his younger brothers and sisters might lose their lives if they came into contact with those deadly weapons.

"Are there any strong ones?"

Boros on the throne finally spoke. He didn't even care about the life and death of the top fighters, let alone Katakuri's brothers and sisters.

Moreover, no matter how many troops the World Government mobilizes, Boros will not take it seriously. With his strength, there will not be much difference in the difficulty of destroying one hundred people and one million people.

The only ones worthy of Boros' attention are the strong ones, those whose strength surpasses that of the Pirate Emperor!
"Yes, the World Government has already recruited the Seven Warlords to join the war. In addition, they have also hired a number of powerful bounty hunters..."

Katakuri looked a little confused when he said this. The navy that he was most concerned about had not made any moves until now. They were obviously about to arrive at Marijoa, but Marinford did not even recruit the naval elites of the branch.

It was as if they were not prepared to join the war at all. Admiral Akainu arrived at the G1 branch, but he did not seem to have any intention of defending the G1 branch and fighting the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates. Instead, he took the G1 branch's navy back to Marijoa.

"Is there anyone strong enough to deserve my attention?"

Boros opened his huge single eye. If he had promoted Katakuri to be responsible for these chores at the beginning, it was only because of Borsalino's recommendation.

Now Boros is so satisfied with Katakuri that he is considering promoting him to the highest-level fighter. Having such a subordinate can really make him worry less. Originally, Boros was still worried that the tasks assigned by Borsalino were too troublesome, but now he can just throw them all to Katakuri.

The only thing Boros had to do was to take the two top fighters for 'daily training' every day, and Katakuri would take care of the rest for him.

Compared to those top fighters who previously relied solely on their combat effectiveness to get promoted, Katakuri gave Boros a new reason to promote top fighters.

"I'm very sorry, but I haven't found any yet... But according to the information provided by Morgans, there should be a strong person in Marijoa who can give you some fun!"

Katakuri lowered his head more and more obediently. He once thought that his mother was the strongest person in the world, and at most only Whitebeard and that navy monster could surpass his mother.

But it was not until he witnessed the terrifying power of Boros in suppressing two pirate emperors at the same time that Katakuri realized that there is always someone better than you.

Even when facing his mother directly, Katakuri can hold on for a while. When he joins forces with Smoothie, he can even temporarily suppress his mother who has lost her mind due to bulimia.

However, for Katakuri to face Boros, let alone hold out for a period of time, it would be an extraordinary performance for him not to be defeated instantly.

Even if the four dessert generals joined forces, the result would not change. It was precisely because of the overwhelming combat power of Boros that Katakuri was not frightened by the terrifying mobilization capabilities demonstrated by the World Government.

"Oh? Morgans...is that the bird?"

The corners of Boros' mouth rose slightly, thinking that the big bird named Morgans did not have the courage to deceive him.

With the clues provided by Morgans, plus what Borsalino had revealed implicitly, there might be a powerful person of unknown strength in the place called Mary Geoise.

Thinking of this, Boros became more and more interested in Marijoa. If he had not had to complete the process assigned by Borsalino, he would have probably flown to Marijoa by now to start a battle with the strong man that Borsalino mentioned.

"Yes, Morgans provided a lot of intelligence for our operation. His contribution is no less than that of the Shipping King."

Katakuri spoke a good word for Morgans very objectively. He said that when Lord Boros defeats the World Government and replaces it in the future, Morgans will have no problem becoming the king of any country he wants with his current contributions.

"Just take care of these things. Notify me when you find a strong person."

Boros obviously had no interest in Morgans' contribution, and sent him away before Katakuri even finished his report.

If the leaders of other forces acted like this, they would be in danger of being sidelined by their subordinates if they were not careful.

However, Boros doesn't care about these things. As long as it doesn't affect his pursuit of strong opponents to fight with, Boros might even hope that Katakuri will sideline him.

"Yes, I will try my best to find a strong person who can satisfy you!"

Katakuri still answered in a serious tone, as if he didn't realize that Boros had almost handed the huge Universe Dark Matter Pirate Group into his hands.

If the influence of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates can be fully exerted, Katakuri, who has a status similar to that of a 'butler', will be fully qualified to be on equal footing with the Pirate Emperor.

"That guy can predict the future, but his Observation Haki can't find you?"

Not long after Katakuri left the temple, Boros suddenly turned his head to look at the empty corner of the temple and spoke as if talking to himself.

Not long after, a white figure gradually appeared in the air. Compared with ordinary people, his figure was much taller and his face was extremely handsome. It turned out to be the Admiral Borsalino who was supposed to be in charge of Marinford!

"Oh, you mean that? High-level Conqueror's Haki has the effect of 'killing' Observation Haki, so it's normal that he couldn't find me."

Borsalino answered lazily, and then without waiting for Boros to ask, he casually snapped his fingers.

All I saw was white light lighting up in the temple.

The moment the light disappeared, six different figures, including two men, two women, a bird and a beast, appeared in the temple.

They are the group members of the dimensional chat group who had agreed to come before, Esdeath who took the initiative to sign up to participate in the battle of Mary Geoise, and Xiao Mei and her cousin Xiao Yan who wanted to come and see the world.

Fubuki and Tornado who came to look for Borsalino, and those from the Devouring Star World, were just passers-by who came to join in the fun.

Originally, Borsalino wanted to call the newcomer Tanjiro as well, and even used the devil fruit to tempt Tanjiro.

However, Tanjiro finally declined Borsalino's kindness.

Having just become a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, he just wants to start killing those man-eating demons as soon as possible, and also find a way to turn his sister Nizuko into a human again.

As for Miss Hermione Granger, who was very interested in traveling to other worlds, she was grounded by Dumbledore who knew the situation.

According to Dumbledore, as the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he has the responsibility to ensure the safety of every student and prevent them from going to dangerous places, even during holidays.

So in the end, only six people were left. Fortunately, Orochimaru also sponsored a group of reincarnated ninjas, which allowed Borsalino to prepare a big enough surprise for the Five Elders.

"Honey, where is this place?"

Before the others who had traveled through time with them could come to their senses, Esdeath, who had already had this experience, had already entangled Borsalino.

The cold and beautiful ice queen is not much different from an ordinary woman when she is in love. If the scene wasn't right, Esdeath would probably go straight to Borsalino.

"You bitch! Stay away from him!"

Tornado, who had just released the Garuda form of the Bird-Bird Fruit, immediately set her sights on Esdeath. This hateful woman actually dared to hug Borsalino in front of her, simply not taking her seriously!
Tornado is willing to share Borsalino with Fubuki because Fubuki is her sister, but that doesn't mean she will watch another woman kiss and hug Borsalino.

"Huh? Where did the child come from?" Esdeath glanced at Tornado, and an unintentional sneer appeared on her beautiful face.

The heart of the Snow Queen will only melt because of Borsalino. When facing others, Esdeath is still the proud female general of the empire.

"Asshole! Who are you calling a kid? I'm already in my twenties... in my twenties!"

What Tornado hates most is that people treat her as a little girl, especially since she has a younger sister whose figure is much better than hers.

"Over twenty... tsk, so you're not a child anymore."

Esdeath glanced at Tornado again, from his flat to endless chest to his butt that was basically the same front and back, and finally her sight fell on Tornado's feet floating in the air, nearly one meter off the ground, and suddenly sneered.

This sneer almost made Tornado explode on the spot. If treating her as a child just now was an unintentional mistake, then now that he knew she was an adult, he still dared to laugh at her height and figure. It was like driving a truck in Tornado's minefield.

"You're looking for death, bitch!"

An astonishing sense of oppression spread from Tornado's petite body, and the invisible telekinesis crushed the ground beneath her feet. Even Boros on the throne subconsciously cast his gaze over.

After eating the Garuda form of the Bird-Bird Fruit of the mythical beast species, Tornado not only gained the strong physique of an animal-type devil fruit user, but even her telekinetic superpowers were enhanced to a higher level along with her physique.

Even if she doesn't use the power of the devil fruit now, she won't have any problem fighting three of her former self alone.

Such strength is already worthy of Boros' attention, but it is obviously still quite far from the level that would interest Boros.

"Why? You want to fight?"

Feeling the amazing sense of oppression emanating from the 'little girl' in front of me.

Far from showing any fear, Esdeath instead smiled excitedly.

A cold white air rose from her body, instantly freezing the ground beneath Esdeath's feet, and the temperature in the entire temple dropped by more than ten degrees.

"I can't ask for it!"

Tornado stretched out her hand and was about to release telekinesis, but at this moment Borsalino grabbed her wrist.

"This is not a place for fighting. Even if you don't want to save my face, at least respect the host."

Borsalino touched Tornado's head a little helplessly. She and Esdeath were both the "surprises" that Borsalino prepared for the Five Elders. Why were they fighting now?

"Don't bully the poor young man? Are you the Flame Emperor Xiao Yan?"

On this side, Borsalino was trying to comfort Tornado and Esdeath who were about to fight, while on the other side, passers-by were staring at Xiao Yan, who had just returned to human form from a saber-toothed tiger, with great curiosity.

"I don't deserve to be the Emperor of Flame. I am Xiao Yan."

The young man who had just ended his animal-type beast transformation pursed his lips and spoke with some caution.

Although based on the experience of Xiao Mei's cousin, it is not difficult to judge that the atmosphere of that dimensional chat group is relatively friendly, Xiao Yan, as a time traveler, understands the personalities of some group members even better than Xiao Mei.

When facing those familiar characters, Xiao Yan could still barely relax his vigilance, but when he was facing a stranger who was also a time traveler and who happened to know him very well, Xiao Yan had to be fully alert to deal with him.

Although he is only a fifteen-year-old boy, Xiao Yan's performance seems to be more mature than the passers-by who look a little vicissitudes of life.

Unfortunately, the passerby did not notice Xiao Yan's hidden wariness towards him, and kept moving closer to the future Emperor Yan, which resulted in a glare from little sister Xiao Mei.

"Is this the helper you found for me?"

Boros's gaze swept across the people brought by Borsalino, only staying on Esdeath and Tornado for a moment, and then spoke with a slightly disgusted tone.

Except for the two females who were quarreling, the remaining four were just trash in Boros' eyes.

Although Boros didn't think he needed any so-called help, he still felt a little unhappy when he saw Borsalino bringing a bunch of small fry to deal with him.

"Of course there are more than that. There are also a few disposable helpers who are not convenient to show up now. You can call them out when the time comes."

Borsalino casually threw four ninjutsu scrolls that sealed the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation to Boros. This was a new product developed by Orochimaru not long ago. Even ordinary people without chakra could directly activate the ninjutsu sealed in the scrolls.

Not only did it greatly increase the combat power limit of ordinary Konoha ninjas, but more importantly, it also opened up a new industry for Konoha Village.

In addition to Borsalino, several members in the chat group have already ordered various ninjutsu scrolls from Orochimaru, and the largest buyer is Fubuki.

In order to improve the status of the Fubuki group as much as possible, Fubuki wishes to arm every member of the group to the teeth.

The only pity is that the mass production threshold for ninjutsu scrolls is quite high, and only senior ninjas who are good at sealing techniques can produce general ninjutsu scrolls.

As for high-end products like those that seal forbidden techniques such as the Impure World Reincarnation, only Orochimaru himself and Uzumaki Kushina, the Jinchūriki who is proficient in sealing techniques, can make them.

"It's really troublesome..."

Boros took the scroll without even looking at it, his huge eye revealing impatience.

If he met Esdeath and Tornado somewhere else, he might have tested their strength, but these two females were obviously Borsalino's people. Based on Boros' understanding of Borsalino, it was obvious that they would not allow him to fight with them.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll help you find a decent opponent later."

Borsalino felt a little embarrassed. Given Boros's personality, it was really asking too much to ask him to help protect others.

Fortunately, Boros's hobbies are simple enough. As long as there is a strong enough opponent to fight with him, he can do all the dirty work without complaints.

“…It’s a deal.”

Boros agreed without hesitation, without any trace of his previous dissatisfaction.

Borsalino also smiled at this time. He could get Boros for free again. But this time he had to remember to find a tough guy for him, otherwise it would not be so easy to get Boros to work for him next time.

After Borsalino and Boros reached an agreement, Tornado and Esdeath came up to him at the same time. However, Tornado and Esdeath, who were holding Borsalino's hands respectively, were not looking at Borsalino, but staring at each other.

Even though they had never dealt with each other before, when Tornado and Esdeath met for the first time, they acted like mortal enemies who had been fighting each other for many years.

If Borsalino hadn't stood in the way, the fight would have been a catastrophe.

"Stay away from me! Who told you to get so close?!"

Tornado shouted in a low voice in dissatisfaction that just because she could live in peace with her sister Fubuki, it didn't mean she could share the same partner with a strong woman like Esdeath.

Especially since Esdeath was taller than her in terms of height, figure and even appearance. Even Tornado, who thought highly of herself, couldn't say with a clear conscience that her 'mortal enemy' was not pretty enough when facing the beautiful face of her.

Thinking of this, Tornado became even angrier. The invisible telekinesis beside her seemed to have life and was waving its claws and fangs. At first glance, she looked like some evil villain.

"Humph, you may not look big, but you have a bad temper. If you can't beat me later, don't go back and cry to your sister!"

Esdeath grinned and revealed a slightly evil smile, and just one sentence made Tornado so angry that her hair almost stood up.

What Tornado hates most is when someone treats her as a child, and the next most annoying thing is confusing her with her sister, Fubuki.

But Esdeath knowingly did it and jumped around in her "minefield" in order to provoke Tornado. It was really too much!

"you wanna die!"

The furious Tornado stretched out her palm with five fingers open, and directly released telekinesis to try to knock Esdeath away. Ever since eating the mythical beast-type animal-type devil fruit, Tornado has made up for her biggest shortcoming in physical fitness.

In terms of strength alone, he would not be inferior to the two admirals of the navy, Akainu and Aokiji. At most, when the battle turned into a life-and-death struggle, he would suffer some losses due to lack of experience.

However, although Esdeath did not eat the devil fruit, she learned the three colors of domineering from Borsalino, and her strength has improved by leaps and bounds compared to the first time she met Borsalino.

Almost at the same time as Tornado made her attack, Esdeath's observation Haki had already captured Tornado's attack intention in advance, and a solid ice wall solidified in an instant.

Along with a series of creaking sounds of ice breaking, the ice wall in front of Esdeath was crushed into countless fine cracks by Tornado's telekinesis, but there was still no sign of breaking.

"..."

Borsalino, who was sandwiched between the two, was hesitant to speak. He wanted to speak up to stop the fight, but his intuition told him that if he spoke, he would be attacked from both sides by Tornado and Esdeath. Maybe even Fubuki, who was next to him, would join in the fun and beat him up.
