At that moment, a pirate ship was speeding towards the Dominican Islands.
The sails on the pirate ship are a skull and cross flag with a captain's hat, and two swords pierce from below and cross upwards.
"White Admiral" Sam William, the White Eagle of the Sea, is now a well-known member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He has achieved his dream of becoming a great pirate.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are definitely great pirates; otherwise, what would be considered great?
Young people, don't aim too high, take it one step at a time!
William is quite satisfied now, at least. As a Shichibukai, he has gotten a lot of what he wanted.
The merchant ship taxes from an entire shipping route were enough to make him a lot of money. He himself was also a business savvy person, otherwise he wouldn't have established a trading company in the East Blue. He used the wealth he received to do business on the Grand Line. And the title of Shichibukai made pirates dare not covet his trading company.
Otherwise, he would have to adjust his priority in eliminating pirates.
There were two things he wasn't quite satisfied with. First, his bounty hadn't gone up; it was still 100 million.
Even though they were practically fighting tooth and nail in the New World, the Navy still hadn't assessed his bounty, and as a Shichibukai, it remained the same, which was a shame.
However, now that he's a Shichibukai, the bounty isn't that important anymore. This title is enough for him, and most of those who disagree are in Impel Down.
Another point is that although he founded a trading company as a Shichibukai, he still has to pay taxes...
He originally thought that as a Shichibukai, he was exempt from paying taxes, but Kuro found out about this and personally called him.
"Huh? You don't want to pay taxes? Why should you? Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea have to pay taxes!"
These were Kuro's exact words, which forced William to pay taxes.
He set up the chamber of commerce with his own money, and he has to pay taxes to himself. Then, a portion of those taxes has to be given to the World Government, the Navy, and Kuro himself.
G-3 is gone. According to the contract, G-3 is no longer required, but they know that this has nothing to do with G-3. It's just that Kuro is being given the money.
As a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Kuro, who has now become an Admiral, is completely obedient to him. He has rightfully seized power as a Warlord of the Sea, and no one can defy his words.
William, at least, couldn't resist, for example, being asked to go to Dominica to resolve the situation.
Fortunately, William was nearby because he was handling some business; it seemed like he was almost there.
Inside the captain's cabin, several officers remained seated. Elmira pondered, "According to the intelligence Kuro provided, the Celestial Dragons were attacked in the Dominican Kingdom. This is a major incident. If we go there, our primary task is to rescue the Celestial Dragons. Rescuing them would be beneficial; if the Celestial Dragons are pleased, we will have an extra layer of support, and perhaps we won't be so threatened and controlled by Kuro."
It must be admitted that no matter how much they look down on the Celestial Dragons, they know that the Celestial Dragons are not to be trifled with, and the only plan the pirates have for dealing with the Celestial Dragons is to avoid them.
But if there's an opportunity to meet them directly now, it's worth doing so.
If things go well, they might be able to escape Kuro's control.
"A Celestial Dragon?"
Montblanc stood there with his arms crossed, frowning.
He hated the Celestial Dragons; they were a cancer to Montblanc. But he had to admit that Elmira was right. If used properly, the Celestial Dragons could help them.
Swell fiddled with the dagger, nodding silently.
William glanced at the three of them and shook his head, saying, "Don't assume anything. That guy doesn't care whether the Celestial Dragons help us or not. He's not the kind of person who cares about any of that. Have you forgotten the information you gathered about Kuro before?"
“He killed many people in Sabaody Archipelago a long time ago, and directly shut down the Celestial Dragons’ slave trading operations there. From this point of view, he doesn’t even take the Celestial Dragons seriously. It would be a good thing if we could be on good terms with the Celestial Dragons, but we shouldn’t think too much about it. What makes that guy so powerful is not his so-called status and power.”
William clenched his fist tightly. "His strength lies in his own power, and we must understand that. He fears nothing because he is powerful! Even if he is no longer a general, we must be fully prepared for him, let alone the fact that he is still a general, the one who can launch the Buster Call. Let's not think about these messy things now and complete the orders Kuro gave us."
These words silenced Elmira, who then nodded.
That makes a lot of sense; Kuro's power is indeed astonishing.
At that time, the four of them were facing him alone, but they were like chicks under the claws of an eagle, completely powerless to resist.
That kind of power couldn't inspire any desire to resist. All Elmira could think about was getting the Celestial Dragons involved so that Kuro would interfere less.
"captain!"
Suddenly, a pirate's voice rang out from outside, "We can see the Dominican Republic!"
"We've arrived..."
William stood up and said, "In short, let's rescue that Celestial Dragon first. If the Celestial Dragon dies, then we'll catch the main culprit. If there isn't a main culprit, we'll create one. We're pirates, so this is the easiest thing for us to do."
The most important reason why Kuro personally called him, besides the fact that Dominican Republic was on his route, was probably his identity as a pirate.
Acting as pirates means they won't be as constrained as the Navy; there are things the Navy can't do, but they can.
