The Black Throne of One Piece

Lease Rock Island for ten years!

Gilbert was a little stunned when he heard Barr's new conditions, but soon, his expression quickly became serious, and then he habitually weighed the benefits and losses and thought about Barr's purpose in doing so. what is it.

Compared with the cession, the lease terms proposed by Balxin are undoubtedly easier for him to accept, because it means that the ownership of Rock Island still belongs to him, but it is only temporarily leased out, and the time is only ten years. With his current 47-year-old Age, can afford to wait.

Also, once Locke Island is guarded by Barr, a natural devil fruit capable user, the order on this island should be re-established, and the economy can be re-developed.

I think that the management ability shown by the boy Yibaer in the slums should also be able to manage Locke Island in an orderly manner and turn it into a prosperous place.

After ten years, he can pick the fruit.

What he needs to pay attention to is that after ten years, Rock Island will definitely become the lair of Barr and the Ram Gang, and Barr will definitely become very powerful. He supported new gangsters on the island to contain and suppress them.

But Gilbert is not worried at all that he will not be able to take back Locke Island, because behind him are the world government and the navy. No matter how powerful Barr is, can he still be more powerful than those wolf-like navies?

As for Barr's purpose, it is nothing more than to use this to develop and strengthen his own power and to leave a way out for the Ram Gang.

From this point of view, exchanging a ten-year lease for a temporarily useless small island in exchange for Barr's help and a prosperous small island in the future, this deal is quite beneficial to him.

"What an old fox, thinking too much."

Seeing the phone bug, Barr didn't speak for a long time, and he had a deeper understanding of Gilbert's cunning.

This is definitely not a person who is easy to fool. He may not have much personal strength, but he is very shrewd. He is very good at using his own advantages to help himself. He is a brilliant chess player and cannot be underestimated.

On the other hand, Ram lamented that he did not misread the wrong person. How could he not see Barr's intention to acquire Locke Island? Of course, it was for the purpose of using Locke Island to develop and expand his personal power, but Barr Now a member of the Ram Gang, the Ram Gang can also take root in Rock Island.

In the future, when he and Reggie are gone, Barr can't beat Darth and Regis for the time being, and he can also retreat to Rock Island, so that the Ram Gang will not be wiped out.

"Okay, I agree to your condition."

In the past two or three minutes, Gilbert felt that he had fully figured out the benefits and losses of it and Barr's purpose, so he said to Barr with a smile.

Barr received Gilbert's definite answer this time, and a big stone in his heart finally fell, and a happy smile appeared on his expressionless face.

He knew that from this moment on, he finally had a piece of territory that truly belonged to him. It didn't belong to the Ram Gang, it belonged entirely to him, and he didn't have to worry about being attacked by the world government and naval forces. hostility because it is perfectly legal.

Although the ownership of this legal site is only ten years old, no one can say for sure what will happen in ten years.

"Then thank you, Lord City Master, don't worry, I will do my best to protect you..." Barr quickly replied.

After the deal is concluded, the next step is to discuss some small issues in the content of the deal, such as how long the protection time is appropriate.

Of course, Gilbert hoped that the longer the better, it would be best to be protected forever by Barr, a natural devil fruit ability user, but he also knew that this was impossible, so he had to wrestle with Barr, trying to get the biggest time.

Now is the time of war,

In order to win, the two sides will definitely send their own killers to kill the leader of the other side. If Barr, a domineering nature-type devil fruit with the ability to protect him, his safety will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Gilbert had just experienced an unforgettable assassination, and was worrying about how to protect his own safety. Now that he had Barr, of course he would not let him go.

In the end, Gilbert won Barr to protect him for one year by increasing the lease time of Rock Island to Barr to 15 years and a salary of 100 million Baileys per month.

According to Gilbert's estimate, one year is enough for him to defeat Gresham and successfully control the entire Drum Kingdom. At that time, as his king, he can apply to the World Government for an experienced and domineering master. protect him.

And Barr also made a small request, that is, the protection of Gilbert cannot be made public, and the reason he gave is also very reasonable, that is, he does not want to be hated by transparent people.

In this regard, although Gilbert was somewhat reluctant and could not use this to pretend that Barr was on his side, he also expressed his understanding and agreed to Barr's small request.

 …

"Huh ha ha ha, transparent people, and my good brother Gresham, just wait and see, I will definitely give you a good look."

In the castellan's castle, after Gilbert received Barr's promise of protection, he felt relieved. With a sense of security, he returned to his usual strong self-confidence, grinned and said with a big smile.

Then, he finally felt hungry after eating since he came back from outside, so he immediately asked the kitchen to bring up the food.

"Master Ram, you must have known about Locke Island. This island is one of the future retreats of our Ram gang, and it is also a point of support for us to make huge profits in this civil war. I hope to get your support." help."

At the same time, after Barr finished negotiating with Gilbert on the deal, he stood up and said to Ram respectfully.

The geographical location of Rock Island predestined that as long as it is well developed, it will be a big piece of fat. Of course, Barr wants to own this big piece of fat, but he also knows that it will be very difficult. After all, he is the only high-end force in his power, and he wants to completely defend Rock Island. Very difficult.

Therefore, if he wants to take Rock Island more easily and smoothly, he still needs to rely on the strength of the Ram Gang.

This will be another exchange of interests,

Of course, no accident, the Ram Gang will be in his pocket in the future, and there is no need to worry about the negative impact the Ram Gang will have on the development of Rock Island.

"No problem, Locke Island is yours, and that is our Ram Gang's. Of course I will help you."

Seeing that Baal was willing to share the interests of Locke Island, Ram was very satisfied, and nodded with a smile.

But he seemed to think of something, and said a little embarrassedly: "As for the money, the gang can't give you much help for the time being, but the personnel side is completely fine. Except for the cadres, you can choose who you want. That's it."

no money!

Barr quickly captured this important information through Ram's words just now, and the question of where the Ram gang's money went suddenly arose in his mind.

Others are in the Ram Gang, of course they know how big the Ram Gang's industry in the port of Vilia is, and how strong their ability to make money is.

Before the civil war broke out, the Ram Gang could easily earn tens of millions of Baileys a month by simply collecting protection fees, not to mention that there were many industries on the site, and the profitability of these industries was quite good. The Mu Gang controls a lot of market shares in the Drum Kingdom's pharmaceutical market in the city, and these are huge profits.

Even if the expenses of the Ram gang are huge, the remaining profit per month is at least 700 to 800 million Baileys.

Earning so much money every month, the leader of the Ram gang in front of him actually told him that he had no money, and it didn't look like he was lying. This problem is really a bit big.

"It's okay, just someone."

Barr wisely did not ask Ram this question face to face, and said respectfully.

Then, the two changed the topic in a very tacit understanding, and after continuing to chat for a few words, Barr disappeared into the room in a gust of snow.
