Chapter 107: The Laborers Are On Their Way

New World, Honeycomb Island.

Honeycomb Island, once bustling and renowned as the Pirates' Paradise, now appears somewhat desolate, with only the occasional clanging sound breaking the silence.

Jin Ni plopped down on Big Mom's shoulder, constantly slapping her arms to relieve fatigue.

"Big Mom dear, I'm exhausted."

"With such a huge island, the ten of us will have to work until the Year of the Monkey to rebuild it properly."

Big Mom smiled gently: "The Captain said the laborers are already on their way."

"Moreover, you will soon be an officer of the Morning Star Pirates; you only need to command the other crew members to work."

Hearing this, Jin Ni chuckled.

"The Captain has indeed been very good to us."

It had been seven days since the Morning Star Pirates reclaimed Honeycomb Island; the first few days had terrified Jin Ni, with bloodied heads piled high at the port.

While setting fires, the Captain directed Shiki to stack the heads into a landmark building, calling it the first scenic spot upon arriving at Honeycomb Island.

What a load of nonsense about a scenic spot.

It was truly just to scare people.

Fortunately, all the slander from the former island had been dealt with, the bloody scent on the island had faded significantly, and the wealth of the Great Pirate Wang Zhi amounted to—

Eleven billion Berries.

Big Mom and Jin Ni split one billion Berries, Master Tenghu and Shiki each received one billion, Mihawk got two billion, and Yuzhi Xiliu received five hundred million Berries.

The remaining five billion five hundred million belonged to the Captain.

This distribution scheme is normal in the pirate world; the Captain should take the largest share, the Vice-Captain the second largest, and the other officers smaller shares.

The four Giant crew members did not take any Berries because the Captain had assigned the "Attack on Titan" ship to them.

However, since Jin Ni was responsible for logistics, transport, and storage, everyone handed over the entire eleven billion Berries to Jin Ni for safekeeping.

Jin Ni admitted that aside from the incident at God Valley, she had never seen so much treasure in her life.

"The Captain has captured quite a few spies these past few days."

"Yes," Big Mom said with an amused expression.

Since reclaiming Honeycomb Island, spies from other factions have attempted to infiltrate the island almost daily to gather information, but without exception, they were all slashed into charcoal.

"These people are foolishly cute."

"The Captain's Observation Haki not only covers the entire Honeycomb Island but also monitors the surrounding seas."

Even the officers of the Morning Star Pirates do not know the limit of the Captain's Observation Haki range or exactly how large an area it can cover.

They don't understand things like electromagnetic waves.

"Everyone, the banquet begins!"

Dorry shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice covering almost the entire Honeycomb Island.

Shortly after, several figures with black capes on their backs quickly gathered from all directions of Honeycomb Island to the center of the island.

A flash of envy crossed Dorry's eyes; aside from Shiki, every officer of the Morning Star Pirates was equipped with a flying cape.

But since the Giants are so large, the capes were even smaller than their loincloths, so they had to wait for the Captain to find a solution.

Saint Saint Saiwen poured a drink for his Tyrannosaurus pet.

"You've all worked hard these days; once the laborers arrive, everyone will be able to relax."

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

After one drink, Mihawk spoke up rarely. "What if the laborers don't come?"

Dorry chuckled and explained.

"Vice-Captain Mihawk, the four of us will set sail for Elbaf this afternoon; it will take about a month to bring back the rest of the First Division members."

"Even if those laborers don't come, our First Division can rebuild Honeycomb Island within half a month."

Saint Saint Saiwen took over the conversation, sounding as if he was certain a large group of laborers would arrive at Honeycomb Island.

"Rest assured, Old Mi."

"People will come."

That bird Morgan had specifically notified us that since the Morning Star Pirates reclaimed Honeycomb Island, a large number of pirate crews from the Paradise and the New World have been heading towards Honeycomb Island.

However, since Honeycomb Island is located in the latter half of the New World, pirate crews coming to surrender must pass through the blockades of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.

That is for the best.

At least they are hand-picked by the Emperors of the Sea.

"Do not forget, Senior Shiki has returned to gather the old members of the Flying Pirates; once they arrive at Honeycomb Island, they will naturally have to work first."

Hearing that Shiki was gathering the old members of the Flying Pirates, Master Tenghu frowned, wanting to speak but holding back.

Shiki is the most unstable factor within the Morning Star Pirates; Captain Saint Saint Saiwen understands this, Vice-Captain Mihawk knows this, and Master Tenghu can naturally see it clearly.

But Shiki has not yet done anything detrimental to the pirate crew; bringing this up now would obviously affect the internal unity of the crew.

After a moment of thought, Master Tenghu decided to talk to the Captain alone, to be wary of Shiki betraying them at a critical moment.

Saint Saint Saiwen looked at his companions.

"Once the reconstruction work is finished."

"Special training for each of you will begin, especially for Master Tenghu and Jin Ni, who must develop their Devil Fruit abilities to a higher realm as soon as possible."

"Yuzhi Xiliu must also become a Great Swordsman as soon as possible."

"Everyone must also master the advanced applications of Armament Haki and Observation Haki."

"In two and a half years, we will have a new operation."

In fact, Saint Saint Saiwen was not certain whether the Morning Star Pirates reclaiming Honeycomb Island would cause Kaido to act early in Wano Country.

In any case, in Kaido's eyes, Saint Saint Saiwen and Oden had after all once been together in the Roger Pirates.

What if? One in ten million, if Saint Saint Saiwen led the Morning Star Pirates to Wano Country to support Oden, then Kaido would undoubtedly have only one possibility: failure.

Even if Kaido called on Big Mom, his big sister, for help, the ending would still be nothing but failure.

In fact, Saint Saint Saiwen was too lazy to bother with Kaido and Oden; he even hoped they would fight even more fiercely, making it easier to reclaim Inazuma in the future.

Saint Saint Saiwen would be very busy next.

He had to go to the North Blue to trade with the kid Doflamingo for Devil Fruits, and also go to Punk Hazard where Vegapunk was located to retrieve the Dragon-Dragon Fruit.

The matter of originally preparing to accompany the First Division to Elbaf had to be postponed—definitely next time.

The reason he felt safe letting Dorry, Brogy, and others take the Attack on Titan back to Elbaf was that there were almost no massive powers along the entire route.

Between Hivemind Island and Elbaf, the most massive power was the Morning Star Pirates.

It couldn't be that the Giant Tribe, who had been away from home for many years, would encounter any problems returning to their homeland, Elbaf, could it?

If that truly happened, Saint Saint Saiwen would certainly go to Elbaf in person to have a good chat with the Giant King Harald: "Dare to bully my crew?"

Compensation. Compensation is a must.

That Iron Thunder, also known as the Lightning Squirrel, Saint Saint Saiwen had been eyeing for a long time.

The legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf, Saint Saint Saiwen wanted it; the Lightning Squirrel, he wanted even more.

As a Lightning Person who had eaten the Goro Goro no Mi, Saint Saint Saiwen had no resistance to any little gadget that discharged electricity, including but not limited to—

The electric duck of the Flying Pirates.

The Lightning Squirrel of Elbaf.

The fluffy furry one—the future king of the Mink Kingdom of Zou: Carrot.

The combat power of the Mink Tribe cannot be underestimated; since preparing to reclaim Wano Country, then the Elephant and Zou on the Elephant's back should be taken along as well.

The so-called saying: "If heaven gives it and you do not take it, you will surely suffer the blame."

Even if heaven does not give it, what is Saint Saint Saiwen? He is a high-ranking pirate!

If you don't give it, I'll just snatch it!

Unfortunately, the little rabbit will not be born until six years later.

"Hehehehe." Saint Saint Saiwen laughed nonstop.

Big Bear looked at Jin Ni, Dorry looked at Brogy, and Mihawk exchanged a glance with Master Tenghu; each saw their own answer in the other's eyes—

The captain is preparing to deceive people again.

Of course, it might not even be people.

Only Yuzhi Xiliu looked utterly confused: No, what exactly is the situation right now? You guys speak up quickly.
