Beta asked in confusion.
"Sometimes it's in our best interest to be alive, that's all."
Faced with Charlotte's answer, Beta scratched his head. This matter was too profound and was not suitable for him to think about at all.
But what made Charlotte very unhappy was the appearance of an outsider, which was very annoying.
"Lord Charlotte, please return the national treasure of Wano Country."
Huhewan looked at the black knife Qiushui on Charlotte's waist with a serious face and an extremely pious attitude.
Charlotte looked at this guy like an idiot. There was no reason for him to return his spoils.
Absolutely not. Don't even think about it.
"Boy, I don't care what your reasons are, my trophy, unless you defeat me."
Faced with Charlotte's toughness, Huhewan's expression changed.
"Lord Charlotte, you are the world's greatest swordsman!"
Charlotte was speechless. Is this guy really so stubborn? Can't you tell that he won't return it?
To be honest, he really regretted helping this guy get the shadow back from Moria.
Especially with the help from Beta's lobbying.
"Hey, kid, you don't have a grateful heart. What does it mean that you keep staring at other people's spoils?"
Charlotte looked unhappy. He had robbed the item in a fight, not picked it up on the street.
Angry Charlotte slapped Beta next to her on the neck.
"Asshole, you caused the trouble, you solve it."
After saying that, he turned around and left. He was really causing trouble for him every day. Huhewan could only watch Charlotte leave bitterly.
It was simply impossible to snatch Qiu Shui from Charlotte and after all, the other party was his benefactor.
Beta looked aggrieved, then looked at Huhewan angrily, "Asshole, I'm going to beat you to death."
There was a crackling sound of fighting on the deck. After a while, Toragawa Maru had a bruised face and was complaining to himself.
……
……
Lati Island!
The matter was resolved smoothly, and a large number of swords that Moria had brought from Wano Country were looted, which was also a good harvest.
At least the forging craftsmanship of these weapons is quite good.
It’s just that the samurai from Wano Country was so annoying that he was directly expelled by Charlotte.
What kind of bullshit symbolizes the samurai spirit of Wano Country? He doesn't want to listen to that crap.
What does the warrior of fart and the spirit of fart have to do with him, Charlotte.
There's no way you can get his spoils, just get out of here as far away as you can.
Chapter 292 Focus on the World
"Charlotte, there are guys claiming to be from the Self-Defense Forces."
Listening to Lina's words, Charlotte was slightly surprised.
Self-Defense Forces? Charlotte tilted his head. This Self-Defense Forces should be the predecessor of the "Revolutionary Army" in the pirate world.
Later, after the O'Hara incident, it was officially renamed the "Revolutionary Army."
"Is the person coming called Long?"
Charlotte looked at Lina and asked slowly.
"Yes, it is."
After getting the answer, Charlotte nodded. Although the Self-Defense Force is a poor army today, it is undeniable that it has a large number of members in the world.
He really didn't understand how strong their foundation was, but he could take this opportunity to learn more about it.
After all, as an organization in the pirate world that can fight against the world government, it is naturally not simple.
"Let him meet the Flower Hall!"
"Ok."
Not long after.
Hall of Flowers!
The dragon is wearing a dark green coat and has a serious look on his face. Now there are no "slipper marks" on the young dragon's face, and he looks a lot more peaceful.
"Mr. Charlotte!"
Long spoke first, with a very straight posture. Even though he looked serious, his tone was very calm.
"Mr. Long, I wonder what brings you to the Heberfil family?"
Charlotte got straight to the point and told us to just talk about the matter at hand and there was no need to get into any nonsense.
"We, the Self-Defense Force, hope to cooperate with the Heberfil family!"
Long's voice sounded faintly.
"How to cooperate? How to cooperate?"
Cooperation is such an interesting thing. Charlotte really wants to hear what conditions the current Self-Defense Forces have to cooperate with them.
"We hope to purchase weapons from the Heberfil family!"
The dragon's voice sounded slowly.
"Are you kidding? Mr. Long, the Heberfil family does not sell weapons."
Charlotte's tone was very flat, without any expression on her face.
"Mr. Charlotte, we are aware of this, but due to the special nature of our Self-Defense Force, the World Government is very wary of us and cannot obtain large-scale weapons, arm and train personnel in a short period of time."
"And we know very well that with the strength of the Heberfil family, it is easy to set up a general weapons production line. As long as Mr. Charlotte agrees, our annual orders for arms purchases will be no less than 50 billion Baileys."
This is the information Long obtained after analyzing intelligence from all parties. Whether in terms of strength, ability or credit, the Heberfil family is nothing more than the best partner.
Although the World Government is not currently targeting the Self-Defense Forces with all its strength, it is interfering with their access to weapons in the underground market and even at sea. This is also a helpless choice.
Charlotte thought secretly, 50 billion Baileys a year, it can be said that there is some profit in the arms business, but this amount is just a good profit for the Heberfil family, so it doesn't matter whether he does it or not.
It is not necessary to do many industries.
However, Dragon’s enemies are mainly the World Government and the Navy, which is a good thing for the Heberfil family.
A world government as huge as this one needs more enemies!
Their Heberfil family is destined to have a hostile relationship with the World Government and the Navy.
On the one hand, they can make money, on the other hand, they can attract the attention of the world's governments, and they can also start researching and developing their own weapons and equipment...it's a lot.
Thinking of this, Charlotte made a decision.
"no problem."
Charlotte said it calmly. An ordinary weapons production line was not a problem for the Heberfil family.
The Heberfil family has a large number of skilled workers who, with a little training, are capable of meeting the needs of producing ordinary weapons and equipment.
As for Long, a smile finally appeared on his serious face and he said, "Thank you, Mr. Charlotte."
"Pleasant to work with."
Charlotte smiled and said, he believed that with the rapid development and expansion of the Self-Defense Force, the order would naturally increase.
As for the threat from the world government, this is the territory of the Heberfil family in the New World.
There will be no problem as long as the enemy does not invade on a large scale.
"Ivan, you are in charge of arranging the weapons production line and you must keep it secret. No one else can know about it."
Charlotte looked at Ivan and began to speak.
"Don't worry, Boss. I will make proper arrangements."
Ivan spoke confidently, he was already familiar with this kind of thing.
Especially the strict system of the Heberfil family, which is very strict and leaks are impossible.
"Well, Mr. Charlotte, we also hope to obtain the latest nutritional medicines and other medicines developed by the Heberfil family."
Charlotte's eyes flickered. He didn't know whether it was the other party's guess or an analysis of clues and intelligence.
As if noticing Charlotte's hesitation, Long continued speaking.
"From past experience, Mr. Charlotte is definitely a top-notch wise commander who is prepared for a rainy day, so I boldly guess that the Heberfil family must have some reservations."
Looking at the confident Long, Charlotte was a little surprised. He was really a powerful person and his intelligence work was also amazing!
Come to think of it, if they didn't have a strong intelligence gathering base, they would have been killed by the World Government long ago and it would have been impossible for them to remain dormant for so long without enough power.
"no problem."
Charlotte agreed very readily. The other party did not know the specific situation and as the boss of a giant like the Heberfil family, he should focus on the world layout rather than temporary gains and losses.
Monkey D. Long's heart trembled. As expected, from all the signs, the Heberfil family was hiding very deeply and terrifyingly!
"The last collaboration!"
Long's voice sounded, and Charlotte was stunned. Cooperation? This completely confused Charlotte.
What other collaborations are there? This is really puzzling!
"What is it?"
Long suddenly looked at Charlotte with a serious expression and said, "We hope to have a secret and friendly exchange with the Heberfil family. We hope that more self-brave soldiers will come to Lati Island to study. Of course, they are just here to exchange ideas."
Charlotte was confused. What kind of request was this? To come here to study? Or to think?
The concept of an ideal hometown emanating from this place is what shocked Long the most.
