Quinn glanced at Caesar and laughed.
"We, the Beasts, don't care about Caesar's ownership, but there is one thing: we need Caesar to provide Smlie continuously!"
No need for people, but need Smlie.
Punk Hazard is located in the navy's sphere of influence. Without the navy's cover, Caesar cannot create Smlie there with peace of mind.
Tezoro and Quinn looked at Loya, the meaning was self-evident.
"I see."
Having said that, how could Luo Ya not understand what the two were thinking?
Caesar can give it to him, but the prerequisite is that Caesar continues to produce Smlie and continue to supply it to the Beasts Pirates.
In this way, it is equivalent to him replacing Doflamingo as Caesar's backer and needing to protect Caesar.
In doing so, he does have many benefits.
At least I don’t have to worry about money.
It is impossible for him to make no money from Smlie, but if the matter is exposed, it will also bring him great risks.
He does need Caesar, but not to the extent of cooperating with the pirates for Caesar's sake.
Loya shook his wine glass with a deep look in his eyes.
"Mr. Tezulo, my purpose of coming to Golden City this time is to make money, not for two dispensable bounty hunters."
"That's it!"
Tesoro frowned slightly. He didn't believe that Loya came to him just to make money. After all, the navy was not a pirate.
"Black-haired Lieutenant General, do you need money?"
“Who in this world doesn’t need money?”
Loya looked at Quinn.
"Mr. Quinn, do you need money?"
"Hahahaha, of course the more money the better!"
Quinn grinned.
Even for pirates, they need to spend a lot of money on daily entertainment. If they don't pay, the end result will be the collapse of order and they won't be able to spend their money.
Money is the rule that must be followed!
Tezulo pondered for a moment and said, "Since the black-haired lieutenant general is short of money, then isn't the proposal just now just right for him?"
"How about this, I'll give you 300 million Beli for each Smlie Fruit. I'll take as many as you have!"
Each pill contains 300 million Beli, so 100 pills would be 10 million Beli, which is enough to create about artificial people with special abilities.
Luo Ya's eyes changed slightly.
It has to be said that Tezolo’s offer is very tempting. Smlie’s ability to produce in batches relies on quantity to win.
Loya's eyes darkened and he asked, "Mr. Tezulo, why should I take the risk of cooperating with pirates?"
"Pirate? Hahahaha, is there some misunderstanding on the part of the black-haired vice admiral?"
Tezulo pointed at himself and said, "The one you are working with is me, Golden Emperor Tezulo, not the Beasts Pirates!"
"And this is an independent country recognized by the World Government. In other words, I am the king of a member country of the World Government!"
"Your cooperation with me is a legitimate business relationship. As for the Smlie Fruit, has the World Government made it illegal to manufacture and sell Smlie?"
Justified and convincing.
Loya was speechless.
Subconsciously, he had always considered Tezulo as a potential target for capture.
After being reminded, I came to my senses and realized that this guy was indeed a real king, and the Golden City was also a ally that needed to pay heavenly gold.
In terms of social status alone, Tesoro is much higher than him.
As for Smlie, there has never been anything like it on the market before. How can the world government define it as a banned item?
And after Tesoro took over, he really didn't need to contact the Beasts Pirates. That was a problem between Tesoro and the Beasts.
Tezulo saw Loya's hesitation.
Mr. Lieutenant General, the burden of being a navy is a bit heavy!
It’s strange. He even dared to attack Kaido’s own daughter, so why would he have such a strong resistance to doing some “small” selfish things?
Tezulo took out a newspaper and handed it to Loya.
"Black-haired lieutenant general, take a look at this."
"Ok?"
Loya picked up the newspaper.
It was not an authoritative news newspaper, but an entertainment gossip magazine. When Luo Ya saw the content about him on the front page, his face immediately turned gloomy.
No wonder Lieutenant General Chatun reminded him!
"Kaido's son-in-law!"
The newspaper published a photo of him with Yamato, and pointed out that Yamato was Kaido's daughter and that Kaido wanted to marry his daughter to him.
Although the report used descriptive methods such as "suspected" throughout and was considered gossip, the navy would inevitably take action as this newspaper was published.
Loya looked at Quinn with cold eyes.
"Hahaha, don't get me wrong, I didn't submit this report!"
Quinn waved his hands with a smile, adding fuel to the fire: "But Brother Kaido did say in public that he wanted to marry Princess Yamato to you. It might be that Shinji, who was present at the time, sold the news to the newspaper."
"Thank you so much!"
Loya snorted coldly.
To be honest, he is quite benefited by Kaido's appreciation of him, but this will put him in a very unfavorable situation.
Tezulo smiled and said, "Black-haired Lieutenant General, this world is not that simple. People who are too clean cannot survive."
"Don't try that on me!"
Loya had a gloomy face.
Compared with the trouble caused by the newspaper, Caesar's affairs are nothing. He must strengthen his power as soon as possible!
Chapter 200 Snow Girl: I’m Sorry, Young Master
On the upper floor of the King of Gold, in the luxurious king-level suite.
Loya stood on the balcony, overlooking the bustling golden city below. There were countless sins hidden beneath the hustle and bustle of lights and wine.
And these sins are allowed!
"Smlie!"
There was a haze in Loya's eyes.
When he was weak in the past, those big shots would not even look at him. Now, as his strength has grown, even Tezoro has to treat him as a guest of honor.
But it also means it's time to take sides.
Today's dinner is undoubtedly an invitation to take sides. As long as we agree, we will be in the same group in the future.
If he wants to achieve his goal, it is not enough to rely on the navy alone. Not to mention that the navy’s own power is limited, those beneficiaries who are bound to the Celestial Dragons will not listen to him.
justice?
How much is it worth!
It's not that he underestimates the justice of the navy, but it's the fact that even a navy admiral has to help the Celestial Dragons against his conscience.
If you want to survive in the system, you have no choice but to compromise.
The only exception is Garp, but Garp is unable to break the system and can only play his own pirate catching game, out of sight, out of mind.
There are very few righteous officers as rare as Smoker in the navy. Before following him, Smoker had faced the problem of being ostracized by his colleagues.
All I can say is that the higher the position you stand, the easier it is to be assimilated into the system and become an accomplice of the evil system.
Therefore, he needs political allies like Tesoro, and he also needs external help like the Beasts Pirates. He works so hard to make Ace one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, just to increase his allies.
When you rise up in rebellion, at least you should have a decent army behind you.
Luo Ya knew very well that pure idealism would not work. If he wanted to defeat the evil party, he had to first become a more evil party than them!
Not long after, Baccarat brought Monet to the room.
"Black-haired Lieutenant General, the people are here."
"Ah."
Loya turned around and looked at Monet.
"Uncuff her."
"Eh?"
Bakara was stunned for a moment, and could not help but remind him in a low voice: "Black-haired Lieutenant General, Monet is a natural ability user. It took a lot of effort to capture her. Once she loses her restraints, she will easily escape!"
"It's okay, untie it."
Luo Ya waved his hand indifferently.
"Yes."
Baccarat said no more, untied Monet's seastone, and left the room respectfully.
Monet clenched her hands. Without the restraint of the seastone, her body gradually regained strength and her abilities began to respond to her call.
She raised her head and looked at Loya with hatred, and a sharp ice knife slowly formed in the palm of her hand.
As the user of the Snow-Snow Fruit, she cannot freeze quickly, but she can still make ice slowly.
Loya's eyes moved slightly downward, looking at the ice knife in Monet's hand and the slightly trembling body of the woman, with a grin on his face.
Even though she was terrified, she still wanted to seek revenge on him.
"Give you a chance for revenge."
Luo Ya stood still and said calmly, "I will stand here, neither running away nor hiding. As long as you can hurt me, I will give you freedom. Of course, you can also take the opportunity to kill me and avenge your young master."
"."
Under his messy hair, Monet's eyes widened a little.
She knew very well that she had no chance of winning the battle against the black-haired man, who could easily kill her.
But if the black-haired man didn't dodge, she might have a chance to kill him!
Monet stood up slowly, holding the ice knife in both hands, staring at the black-haired man's heart. As long as the ice knife was inserted into the heart, even the black-haired man would surely die.
That's how it should be!
But, but!
Why can’t my body move?
Get moving!
Monet raised his foot tremblingly and took a half step back. The ice skate in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into ice flakes.
Looking at the broken ice on the ground, Monet's eyes lost their color, his strength quickly disappeared, and his body went limp and he sat on the ground.
She flinched.
Even if the black-haired man did not dodge or evade, it would be impossible to kill him with his own strength. This is an indisputable fact.
"No more revenge?"
Loya came in front of Monet, bent down, put his hand on Monet's chin, and looked straight into the woman's eyes.
"If you don't intend to seek revenge, then go to the bathroom and clean yourself up. You disguised yourself as a singer in Hawaii before, so you should know how to serve a man, right?"
"I"
