Chapter 664 10 character guild
“Brother Katakuri, there is a strange pirate ship that has not been registered over there.”
At the port of Cake Island, Katakuri, who was seeing off guests, heard what his sister Smoothie said, looked up in the direction that Smoothie pointed, and then looked behind him.
Behind him, Bucky was also in a master stance at this time, and he was chatting with the guests who were about to leave the Cake Island, talking about some innocuous clichés such as coming back when he had time and having the opportunity to cooperate.
Perhaps noticing Katakuri’s gaze, Bucky stopped after saying goodbye to a guest. His tall and hollow body also walked towards Katakuri and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Crocodahl is here, he should be looking for you.”
Katakuri spoke calmly, and at the moment when the words fell, the facial features on the face of the Qianliang Hua Bucky shifted, as if he had heard the most unacceptable news.
Katakuri looked at the wonderful expression on his face, smiled, and said, “I’m curious, when you rejected the money provided by Shanks, and I rejected the loan, how did you get it? Money for Bucky Express?”
Although it was a question, Katakuri’s inexplicable expression was obviously saying that he already knew the truth of the matter. After all, to establish Bucky Express, the money required would not be a small amount.
At the time of the war, Bucky recruited a large number of fugitives from the advance city, saying that he would establish a force capable of affecting the world and earn enough money for him.
And the redhead naturally chose to support his friend and offered to inject capital, but Bucky refused Shanks without hesitation. After all, it made him feel very shameless.
The redhead is worthy of being a man known for his domineering and arrogance. He didn’t get angry with Bucky because of this, but withdrew the idea of investing and proposed to rent a piece of land for Bucky.
The leased land is in the sea area controlled by the Red Hair Pirates. It is called Kalai Bali. Bucky also chose Chengqing. With the relationship of the Red Hair Pirates, no one has really Dare to trouble Bucky.
After all, Bucky has always been hiding in the waters of the Red-haired Pirates, and in the past two years, the Red-haired Pirates have been uncharacteristically, stationed in their own waters for a long time, and have not wandered around like before.
This is an important opportunity for the development of Bucky Express. With people and land, Bucky is only short of a start-up capital. For this capital, Bucky has contacted Katakuri more than once.
After all, there are only three kings of the sea now, Bucky has already rejected Shanks, and Kaido obviously can’t come up with the money, so Bucky can only pay attention to Katakuri.
Katakuri, who owns the Totland Shipyard, is not an exaggeration to say that he has the most deposits in the New World. Even if he is stationed in the naval headquarters at the beginning of the New World, he may not have as much cash reserves as Katakuri.
Katakuri is naturally capable enough to invest in Bucky, and even after taking out the money, Totland will not be too embarrassed, after all, it is a deposit, not a working capital.
But Katakuri just didn’t like the clown in front of him, so he refused Bucky’s application for reception without hesitation, but Bucky still set up Bucky Express.
Originally, Katakuri didn’t care, but with the rapid development of Bucky Express, Katakuri must also pay attention.
During that time, it just happened that Crocodile reappeared in the sea, after walking around in the four seas and the first half of the great waterway, where he had developed his power.
Just a simple guess, you can understand what Crocodile has done. It is nothing more than retrieving the results of his past 20 years of hard work. Although the 20 years of hard work has finally failed, he has also managed a lot of fields.
And this amount of money is indeed enough for the establishment of Bucky Express. After all, when there is no shortage of people, places and markets, as long as Bucky takes the first step, orders will continue to flow, and it does not require much money. .
Of course, this doesn’t need much, it is Katakuri’s view, if it is someone else… That’s even enough for a sea king’s reward.
At that time, Crocodile was just in line, and even had a lot of surplus. After all, after the war, Crocodile seemed to have no action, but it had already laid out a lot.
For example, her former intelligence resources were integrated by the Revolutionary Army. Recently, it was reported that Crocodile chose to co-host a Pirate Expo with his former “enemy” Barrett.
Investing in Bucky, a project that seems to be extremely profitable today, is also very similar to what Crocodile would do.
But Bucky Express… It’s not called Bucky Crocodile United Express. Crocodile did not participate in the shares, which means that she most likely borrowed money to Bucky.
Loans…are to be repaid.
Although I haven’t communicated a few times, Katakuri always feels that Bucky is an unreliable person. If you lend him money, he will come to the door to ask for debts from time to time.
But his base camp was in the territory of the Red-Haired Pirates. Looking back now, Katakuri even thought that if Shanks didn’t go out for two years, maybe he was escorting Bucky’s development.
During this time, Crocodile was active at the junction of the Red-haired Sea Area and the Beast Sea Area, and the reason why she didn’t go to Bucky was probably because Shanks was there.
Therefore, Katakuri still feels very lucky. Although he is not afraid of Shanks, he does not want to have any conflicts with Shanks for some Baileys.
But he, Katakuri, was unwilling to give up even a pele of his own, so if he lent money to Bucky, he would definitely come to ask for it.
So, not lending money to Bucky is the best result. He doesn’t need to go into the red-haired sea to find trouble with Bucky, and he won’t lose even a single Bailey.
If Bucky continued to hide in the waters of the Red-haired Pirates, maybe his creditors could only watch him, but could not take practical measures, but Bucky, the idiot, chose to leave Bali and left. Red-haired seas.
What makes Katakuri even more stupid about Bucky is that he has no intention of concealing his whereabouts, and even published some events on Cake Island on his original Bucky News Studio.
This not only exposed his whereabouts, but also fiercely pulled a wave of hatred from his creditors.
Katakuri would tickle his teeth just a little bit from the perspective of Bucky’s creditor.
Think about it, I saved a sum of money, whether I was trusting or investing, I lent this sum of money to someone.
But when the deadline came, the person who owed him not only did not pay back, but also took the money that should have been returned to him to buy some new luxury goods.
For Bucky, this new luxury is his new Bucky Press Studio.
If Crocodile was really Bucky’s creditor, he would have been so angry that he wanted to kill Bucky at this time.
And Bucky looked at the pirate ship that grew from a young age in the distance. Under the wide and empty clothes, the “short” and thin body was constantly shaking.
Because he recalled that Crocodile came to him to ask for a debt, but after being blocked by the Red Hair Pirates, he said harsh words to himself.
That rich woman told herself bluntly that if she has the ability, she will live in the shadow of Shanks for the rest of her life, otherwise she will slice herself into ham and eat it in sea water.
It’s just that Bucky Express and Bucky’s News Studio have been too busy recently, and Bucky has never been a person with a good memory, so… he forgot about the threat of Crocodile. .
Not only did he leave the waters controlled by the Red-haired Pirates swaggeringly, he even published his participation in the Totland tea party as news in his own newspaper.
Bucky didn’t know what Crocodile was thinking at this time, but if the roles were reversed, he would let the person who owes money know what cruelty is.
After the “heart to heart”, Bucky had only one thought at this time, and that was to run away quickly!
“boom!”
But at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise, and Katakuri spread his hands and said, “Bucky, your ship seems to be broken.”
Bucky, who was about to run away, heard the words, looked at his boat, and saw that there was a hole in the bow of his own boat. Although it was above the water line, it could not sail.
Not to mention the potential safety hazard after the hull is damaged, but during the driving process, the scouring waves will continue to pour back into his boat, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
Bucky’s red nose was about to turn green at this time. He pointed at Katakuri and was about to curse, but he thought of something, and quickly suppressed his anger, and looked at Katakuri with tears in his eyes. said:
“Brother Katakuri, okay, how about lending me a billion baileys?”
Katakuri asked with a smile, “A billion baileys? You only owe Crocodile that much?”
One billion bailey is indeed a lot. When Katakuri rebuilt the world, the starting capital was only the 2 billion bailey gifted to him by Whitebeard, and the Dragon Palace Kingdom built a bridge across the sea between the windless belt and the new world. The investment is only 2 billion Bailey.
One billion Bailey is enough to do a lot of things, but… it definitely doesn’t include the establishment of a huge organization like Bucky Express that radiates six seas.
After hearing Katakuri’s question, Bucky also became awkward, and then said: “First… pay the interest first.”
“Billion Bailey’s interest…I’ll consider it.”
Katakuri did not refuse immediately, but looked in the direction of the pirate ship, but there was no thoughtful expression on his face, which made Bucky anxious.
After all, he has no money on his body now. After Crocodile comes over, he can’t handle it. If there is Katakuri’s billion bailey and his reputation guarantee, then maybe it can be delayed for a while.
But Katakuri made it clear that he just wanted to watch the show, so he didn’t refuse, but in this case, if he didn’t agree immediately, he was “killing” him Bucky!
Bucky hurriedly approached Katakuri for two more steps. The original tall body was also reduced a bit at this time. The head that was originally the same height as Katakuri now had a whole head directly higher than Katakuri. Poorly said:
“Brother Katakuri, you are also in business, and you should know how difficult it is to run a business. My brother is still in its infancy and has to burn money everywhere.
I will pay back the billions of Baileys in full, and I will give you… 3% of the shares! As long as I turn around, your investment will be profitable. ”
Katakuri turned his head to the side, looked at Bucky, who had tears in his eyes, and said with a smile, “One billion baileys, I don’t want interest, and I don’t need you to return it…”
Hearing this, Bucky’s eyes became brighter and brighter, and he wanted to hug Katakuri for a kiss. This is simply his rebirth…
But before Bucky’s gratitude could be expressed, Katakuri continued: “I want 20% of all the companies in your name, including your current company and future companies.
Remember, it’s 20% of the shares, not some **** dividends. ”
“???!!!”
Bucky’s gratitude for Katakuri disappeared in an instant. Where is Katakuri helping? Clearly a robbery! No, even if it was robbing, it would take away everything from him at most.
But Katakuri is more greedy. What he wants is not only what Bucky has now, but also what he may have in the future. Katakuri has to plunder directly. This is really… too much!
“Don’t want to? Don’t worry if you don’t want to.”
Seeing that Bucky’s face changed color, Katakuri didn’t worry, but shrugged and retracted his proposal, as if he was just joking.
“Two percent!”
Bucky hurriedly said, his offer was not even as good as just now, but… the dividends of shares were originally worthless empty checks, but the shares were real.
For things like stock dividends, as long as the company does not make money, there is no need to pay dividends, and you can do your own thing. However, shares may affect the development of the company. Each share is precious and its value is much higher.
Therefore, 2% of the stock is definitely more than 3% of the stock dividend, which is too much before, so using the current scale of Bucky Express can not only smooth the gap of 1%, but also smooth it out in the future. A billion Bailey is also very likely.
It can be said that this is a fairly reasonable offer.
But… Katakuri never accepted such a reasonable offer, glanced at Bucky, then continued to look at the pirate ship that was getting closer, and stopped talking.
Bucky gritted his teeth and said, “Five percent.”
Katakuri did not answer, looking at the pirate ship that had even entered his attack range, and continued to wait calmly.
On Bucky’s forehead, sweat kept pouring out, and he kept scolding Katakuri for his greed. Five percent of the shares was enough for Katakuri to make a lot of money, but he still refused. promise.
Bucky had never seen such a greedy person before. Looking at the rich woman who was already standing on the bow on the sea in the distance, Bucky stomped his feet and said, “Ten percent!”
“Thirty-five percent, otherwise we won’t talk.”
Katakuri finally made a counter-offer, but this almost doubled asking price almost gave Bucky a brain hemorrhage. He was absolutely unwilling to accept even 20%, how could he spend more than one-third of his net worth on him? Katakuri?
Not to mention the yet-to-be-developed Bucky News Studio, and a series of companies that may support it in the future, just say Bucky Express, 35% of the shares are worth more than one billion baileys!
This money is given to Katakuri, he might as well give the same amount of shares to Crocodile, let alone one billion, it is more than enough to erase all debts!
Seeing that Bucky refused to agree, Katakuri also shook his head indifferently. After all… he didn’t insist on Bucky’s shares. Totland’s money was already too much to spend.
He just wanted to make fun of Bucky. After all, he was doing a good job at Cake Island these days, with a master attitude. Katakuri didn’t bother to fall out with him because of this, but it didn’t mean he was stuck. Takuri likes to see someone show off in front of him.
What Katakuri wanted was for Bucky to make a fool of himself at this moment.
At this time, the pirate ship that Crocodile was on had also docked, and Crocodile, standing on the disfigured statue of the ship, met with Katakuri in the port, and then both Raised his head.
Crocodile smiled, took the cigar from his mouth, and a clear voice came out of his mouth.
“Katakuri! Would you rather send an invitation to the clown Bucky than invite me?!”
Katakuri shook his head and said, “You misunderstood. I didn’t invite Bucky. As for you… I don’t think I have any younger brother who can handle a woman who has been a man for more than 20 years.”
Everyone knows that this tea party is a large blind date, and Katakuri doesn’t mind revealing it.
But Crocodile was not angry. With a very charming smile on his face, he asked, “Your brother is so weak?”
“…”
Katakuri heard something in Crocodile’s words, but… this is too vulgar!
He glanced sideways at the few younger sisters who were talking to the guests. Seeing that they didn’t understand, he was relieved. He didn’t want to cultivate those younger sisters who understood in seconds.
“Tell me why you came here.”
Katakuri changed the subject bluntly, and was unwilling to continue talking about such a vulgar topic. Crocodile seemed to mumble a “soft egg” before jumping off the pirate ship.
Countless quicksand instantly surged up in the port, supporting the fallen Crocodile, and immediately sent her to the port. Crocodile, who landed on the port, looked at Bucky, who was shivering beside Katakuri, and said:
“I’m here to find Bucky. He owes me a lot of money. By the way, let’s do a business.”
“Bucky is not from Totland. Don’t deal with his affairs in my Totland. As for business…”
Katakuri looked at the broken ship that Crocodile was on and said, “You don’t look like someone who has no money to buy a ship. I have the best ships here, and you are welcome to purchase them at any time.”
“You’ve become a snobby businessman, Katakuri, but I’m not going to pay for a boat from you.”
After Crocodile finished speaking, Katakuri retracted his gaze and said, “My current external business is only the sale, repair and customization of ships. If it has nothing to do with these businesses, please leave.”
When the words were over, Crocodile hadn’t answered yet, but Bucky showed a grateful look first. Although Katakuri didn’t pay to help him, he didn’t let Crocodile be presumptuous.
Not allowing Crocodile to attack his Bucky in the territory of Totland, and then taking the initiative to let Crocodile leave, this kind of behavior undoubtedly helped him to get out of Bucky’s siege.
Bucky is even secretly repenting in his heart now, repenting for the way he was scolding Katakuri in his heart just now.
Crocodile was not angry either. Before she arrived, she knew that it was impossible to recover Bucky’s debt in front of Katakuri. This time, it was just to restrict Bucky’s actions at any time.
The real reason she came here was the business she just mentioned.
Crocodile smiled and asked, “Has Mihawk left?”
Katakuri nodded, Mihawk did not leave, after all, he hadn’t told Mihawk about Moriah, and Mihawk was not in a hurry.
Mihawk is not in a hurry, and Katakuri is even less in a hurry. After all, the longer Mihawk stays in Totland, the more likely he is to meet one of his sisters.
Seeing that Katakuri confirmed that Mihawk had not left, Crocodile said, “Let’s have a talk with Shichibukai. Now it’s very necessary for you to hear about the business I want to discuss with you.”
Hearing this, Katakuri appropriately showed a puzzled look. He was just thinking about whether Crocodile was here for the Pirate Expo, but now it doesn’t seem to be the case.
“That… I’m not participating anymore, I’m going back to run the business.”
Bucky shook his head quickly, expressing that he did not want to be involved in this so-called business, Crocodile looked at him and said, “I forgot that you are also the king of Qiwuhai.
However, since you have said so, then don’t leave. If you want to leave, then I can also settle the debt with you and come back to talk about business. ”
When Crocodile finished speaking, Bucky’s brows jumped, and he quickly looked at Katakuri with pleading eyes, but Katakuri did not mean to help him, but looked at Crocodile and asked:
“What is the content?”
Crocodile raised his eyebrows, not intending to explain now. Seeing this, Katakuri pondered for a while, and looked at Perospero who was saying goodbye to the guests in the distance.
Perospero noticed Katakuri’s gaze, and after talking to the guests for a while, he walked away. Katakuri said, “Brother, I’ll leave the matter here to you.”
“Well, go get busy.”
Perospero nodded with a bright smile on his face. Obviously, the tea party that had just ended put him in a good mood. Katakuri looked at Bucky and Crocodile’s ships and said:
“Send damaged ships for repairs, and if there are damaged ships leaving Totland, it’s smashing our signboard.”
Perospero continued to nod and said, “Leave it to me.”
Crocodile frowned. This Katakuri said it nicely, but she impounded her transportation, but… Compared with business, this is nothing.
After explaining, Katakuri also led the way back to the center of Cake Island, and came to a candy house, where the waiter had already called Mihawk and Cavendish.
“Can we talk now?”
After Katakuri sat down, he looked at Crocodile. Crocodile nodded and said, “I have received information that after the World Conference is over, the Qibukai system will be abolished, and several of them will become wanted criminals again.”
Hearing this, Katakuri looked indifferent, but Mihawk frowned. After all, he and a friend had promised that their friendship would only last until the day he was offered a reward.
“What do you want to say?”
Frowning Mihawk asked, Crocodile reached out and played with the bowl of candy on the table in front of him, and said, “Instead of waiting to be wanted, it would be better to cooperate with my “senior” and unite with other forces. Build an organization strong enough to stand up to the world government.”
Hearing this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com even Katakuri was interested, nodded and said, “What kind of power do you have?”
Crocodile stood up, holding a few candies in his hand, raised his hand lightly, a candy was thrown, and landed on the table with horizontal and vertical stripes in front of him, saying: “First of all, I and you represent the front. The king goes down to the Seven Martial Seas.”
“Da~”
Another piece of candy fell, and Crocodile continued: “There is also the revolutionary army that has fought against the world government for many years, and has recently cooperated with me many times.”
“Da~”
“And then there’s the navy that is about to break with the world government.”
“Da~”
The fourth candy fell, and Crocodile said, “Finally, it is the notorious, but most deeply buried CP organization of the World Government.”
Katakuri looked at the candies corresponding to the four corners on the table, and said, “The king goes to the Qiwuhai, the revolutionary army is easy to say, but the navy… CP, don’t you think this is too outrageous?”
“So between the four forces, there is a need for a person who has enough ability to connect the four sides. I believe everyone is familiar with this person.”
Crocodile leaned over, placed the last candy in the center of the four candies, and said, “Skyler Grey. I have already thought about the name of this newly created organization, so let’s call it… Guild of the Cross.”
When the words fell, no one answered, everyone stared at the table, at the five candies and the cross connected by the striped table below.
