Chapter 262: Low-Key Development Route

When Charlotte Charlotte Linlin was young, she was a top-tier beauty on the sea, and in terms of heroic spirit, she was even above the world's number one beauty, Shakky.

Even in later generations, Charlotte Linlin was the most powerful woman on the sea, bar none.

Among all the female characters who appeared, Yamato, who also mastered three-color Haki, or Empress Hancock, ultimately didn't have as strong an oppressive feeling as Charlotte Linlin.

Unfortunately, after Charlotte Linlin had been creating children and things for many years, not only was her figure and appearance seriously out of shape.

She also had dozens of husbands one after another.

With her own strength, she started having children from the Rocks Pirates era and kept having them until now, giving birth to the entire BIG MOM Pirates.

It could be considered unprecedented and unrepeatable, a unique existence on the sea.

It had the same effect as Whitebeard recognizing sons everywhere on the sea.

Almost none of the husbands Charlotte Linlin found were of the same race, covering the Three-Eye Tribe, Fish-Man Tribe, Snake-Neck Tribe, Dwarf Tribe, Long-Arm Tribe, Mink Tribe...

It could be called the number one female sea king of the Pirate World.

This was the goal Charlotte Linlin confirmed when she first established Totto Land: to gather all the races on the sea.

Two years after the Summit War, Totto Land was only missing three races to realize Charlotte Linlin's ultimate dream.

One was the Giant Tribe; Charlotte Linlin had a feud with the Giant Tribe and had always wanted to marry into it, but all attempts had ended in failure.

The second was the Lunarian Tribe; this tribe was exterminated by the World Government, with only extremely few survivors like King remaining.

The third was the Buccaneer Tribe, which was the race Kuma belonged to, and their numbers were also extremely rare.

In short, Seven only coveted Charlotte Linlin's body when she was young; at this time, although Charlotte Linlin still had charm, she was not within Seven's acceptable range.

Green grass on the head... who could stand that?

Isn't the Inazuma kindergarten growing up fragrant?

Seven played the cultivation system.

Although Charlotte Linlin was no good, Seven was very greedy for Charlotte Linlin's children, especially the food-type Devil Fruit ability users.

With these food-type ability users, famine would never happen in the territory under Seven's command again.

They could even process finished food for export.

Just like Seven was the largest power station in Inazuma; the electricity created by one person was enough for Inazuma to use for several years, which was even easier to use than those nuclear power plants in his previous life.

And it was safe, clean, and pollution-free.

The seven food-type ability users in Totto Land would become Inazuma's reserve granary and producers of exported food.

Overthrowing the World Government wasn't just talk.

Seven wanted to encircle and suppress the World Government in all aspects, including economy, military, intelligence, and resource culture.

The hard currencies currently mastered by the Morning Star Group included: Seastone, Adam Wood, Sky Island Dials, pure gold, and other strategic-level materials.

Former Flying Pirates members were undercover in various departments of the Navy and the World Government, and intelligence work was beginning to show results.

The points that urgently needed to be supplemented included: cross-sea area safe transportation, medical care, and weapons manufacturing.

They also needed to seize a portion of the share from the underworld transactions; if they wanted to occupy the entire share, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The total amount of underworld transactions was extremely large and was one of the main gray incomes of the Celestial Dragons; it was impossible for one family to dominate.

It was enough to seize a small portion; Seven had one more part, and the Celestial Dragons naturally had one less part.

In addition,

If they wanted to get rid of the World Government's financial control, establishing an independent currency and financial system was imminent.

Berry was, after all, a currency issued by the World Government and would definitely be controlled by the World Government.

Seven was prepared to test the waters in the New World and find ways to issue Four Emperors gold coins to deal with the devaluation of Berry.

Besides that,

The Morning Star Crew must also prepare powerful military forces to confront the Marine Headquarters, the Holy Knights, the Five Elders, and Imu head-on.

As well as a large-scale naval fleet to suppress rebellions in World Government member countries and non-member countries.

All of this could not be done by one person's strength; fortunately, Seven had the partners of the Morning Star Group, moving step by step toward the goal.

And he insisted on low-key development, adhering to the principle of fanning the flames of other forces and giving the World Government more trouble.

Previously, there might have been concerns about time, such as top-tier Conqueror's Haki experts like Rayleigh, Gaban, the Golden Lion, and Whitebeard entering an elderly state.

They couldn't deal with the Holy Knights who possessed immortal bodies and the Five Elders who were nearly immortal.

Now with pure gold rings, Seven and the Morning Star Group, as well as their friends, lacked time the least.

What Seven was waiting for was for his friends to develop, while what the World Government would face was an unprecedented crisis.

The World Government could destroy Rocks at God Valley, but what if it were the Morning Star Group, the Four Emperors Alliance, the Revolutionary Army, and the Elbaf Giant Tribe, all of which had explosive combat power?

Having almost gathered the highest-end combat power in the Pirate World, Seven didn't believe that the old guy Imu could still win.

Of course, before completely tearing off the mask, Seven still needed to solve the two problems of Imu's devilish power and Black Turn Domination.

Otherwise, even if his friends possessed more combat power, they would all be sending food to Imu.

Almost at the same time.

The South Blue, Sorbet Kingdom waters.

Adhering to the mentality of copying the homework of the little white-haired guy, the Blackbeard Pirates fled all the way from the West Blue to the South Blue.

Just as they arrived at the southern port of the Sorbet Kingdom, Blackbeard saw Lafitte, who had been waiting at the port for a long time, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Scold Lafitte for not being righteous? Or for fleeing in the face of the Navy's encirclement?

That was Admiral Akainu.

If Blackbeard hadn't been surprised by the Navy's big move at the time and hadn't reacted, he definitely would have abandoned the ship and fled at the first opportunity.

And at the beginning of the Blackbeard Pirates' founding, there was no such thing as companion bonds or life-and-death trust.

Blackbeard's criteria for selecting people: strong enough, can be used; the weak are directly abandoned.

As for the crew, he used benefits to tie them down, used strength to suppress them, and they could be sacrificed at any time.

This was because Blackbeard didn't trust anyone, only strength and benefits.

Even if Arlong saved Blackbeard's life and was the first crew member Blackbeard recruited, if faced with enough benefits, Arlong could be discarded at any time.

Therefore, seeing Lafitte again, Blackbeard still extended an invitation to join the ship.

"Guehahahaha~"

"Welcome back to the team, Lafitte."

Unlike Blackbeard's big heart, Arlong couldn't accept the traitor Lafitte returning to the team.

"Captain, let me weigh this kid; not just any trash is qualified to get on the ship."

Blackbeard didn't refuse Arlong's initiative to ask for a fight: it was just right to see Arlong's strength, and at the same time let Lafitte understand that he wasn't indispensable.

He, Blackbeard, was also a great pirate who had a bounty of one billion as soon as he went to sea!

He wasn't just any cat or dog.

Lafitte straightened his top hat, held his cane, and bowed slightly toward Arlong, "Brother Arlong, please."

The fish-man Arlong always had a stinking face all day, acting as if someone owed him billions of Berries; Lafitte had long wanted to teach Arlong a lesson.

Let this damn fishy thing know who the second-in-command of the Blackbeard Pirates was.

What was the use of getting on the ship early? Did you think you were Mihawk, who became the vice-captain as soon as he got on the ship?

Lafitte and Arlong, ignoring the Sorbet Kingdom soldiers patrolling the port, instantly fought together.

Blackbeard grinned and watched from the sidelines.

Disagreements among crew members weren't entirely bad things for him, the Captain; if the crew were of one mind, Blackbeard would feel panicked.

However, an untimely yellow beam of light, accompanied by a teasing voice, suddenly sounded.

"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

The smile on Blackbeard's face instantly stiffened, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Damn it! Admiral Kizaru!

How exactly did I provoke the Navy? First, it was Admiral Akainu, and now it's Admiral Kizaru.

Boom~ ===== CHAPTER 263 =====
