Pirates of my own way

At night, Mr. Coco's mansion.

A family of three gathered around the table to eat, and the guy with the sheep-like hair was busy on the side.

"Merry, stop working, sit down and eat." Mr. Coco spoke.

Merry, who was wearing a sheep's head, bowed to Mr. Coco, "Okay, Mr. Coco."

At the dinner table, a little girl who looked to be about the same age as Usopp was eating her food happily. Merry, who had just sat down, kept adding food to her.

"Keya, pay attention to your etiquette and be polite when eating." Next to the little girl, the hostess of the mansion spoke.

The little girl's mouth was full of food, "I know, Mom. But the food cooked by Mellie is delicious, but the food cooked by Mom is not."

Keya's mother sighed and looked at her husband beside her, "You don't care about her anyway. It's not okay for the girl to behave like this when she grows up. She will be looked down upon by her husband's family."

Mr. Coco laughed and said, "When baby Keya grows up, she will be sensible and naturally become gentle and polite. Isn't that right, Keya?"

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded happily.

"Alas..." Keya's mother shook her head helplessly. Her husband doted on her daughter too much. "Dear, I heard that a group of pirates came to the village. Is it true?"

"Pirate? Are you a great sea warrior like Usopp's father?" Little girl Keya suddenly heard the new word "pirate" and excitedly raised her little hand, still holding a spoon in her hand. .

"Keya!" The hostess was really angry and scolded the little girl, "Pirates are all bad guys, there are no warriors. Don't listen to Usopp's nonsense."

"But, but..." The little girl continued to defend, but was glared hard by her mother. She did not dare to speak. With tears in her eyes, she looked to her father for help.

"Ahem." Mr. Coco coughed twice, "They do call themselves pirates, but their captain doesn't look like a bad person. I asked them not to live in the village, but to live near our manor."

"How can that be done? What if they attack us? How about we report it to the navy?" the hostess said worriedly.

Mr. Coco flatly refused, "Navy? Those are all guys who eat people without spitting out their bones! The pirates are here. We have bodyguards and money. The pirates in the East China Sea are not too excessive and not too powerful. It's better to spend some money." You can protect yourself, but when the navy comes, you can't fight, and everyone is greedy. Have you forgotten why we came to this village, and how I was injured?"

Melly stood up at a loss. He had never heard Mr. Coco talk about this before, and his intuition told him that this was a secret of Mr. Coco's family and he should not know it.

"Merry, sit down and eat. It's okay. You are not an outsider." Mr. Coco asked Merry to sit down and he ate in silence. The family never talked about what happened just now, as if nothing had happened.

About 500 meters away from Mr. Coco's manor, Lu Chen and his group also settled down.

There are more than a dozen shabby houses here, as if no one has lived in them for a long time. They are surrounded by wasteland, giving people the feeling of being in the wilderness.

Dinner was delivered from Mr. Coco's manor. Lu Chen and Mr. Coco reached an agreement that for the time being, Mr. Coco's manor would be responsible for their meals every day.

[It seems that Mr. Coco is also a person with a story, but it is a pity that he died of illness early in the original work. 】

Lu Chen naturally considered the reason why he chose Xiluobu Village.

There is no navy, no mayor or real armed forces here. It is secluded enough and there are almost no outsiders. If you want to stay low-key and dormant, this is one of the best places in the entire East China Sea.

More importantly, the character who will bring conflict here in the original work, the former captain of the Black Cat Pirates, "Hundred Strategies" Crow, has become his subordinate. In such a short period of time, what kind of accident will happen again? The possibility is much smaller.

Lu Chen needs a lot of things now, personal power, fame, influence... he needs them all.Even though he accomplished the feat of escaping from the Holy Land of the Heavenly Dragons, Mariejoia, and defeated the Black Cat Pirates and Navy Branch No. 16 along the way, everything seemed to be going very smoothly, but no matter how you measure it, he is still just a pirate. A small role.

In the current East China Sea, he may still be barely a character, but outside of the East China Sea, there are too many people who can kill him easily.

So what he needs most now is actually time, a time where he can accumulate strength and strengthen himself without being disturbed by others.

Silob Village is one such place that can buy him time.

"We will spend the next year here, at least most of the time." Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Lu Chen said to the cadres in front of him.

The cadres listened carefully. Their captain always liked to make plans and did not like to be interrupted. If you want to oppose him, you need sufficient reasons.

However, usually, cadres who are too lazy to use their brains will just follow Lu Chen's instructions. Even those who are willing to use their brains will usually approve Lu Chen's plan after analysis.

"In the next year, our tasks are very simple. There are several main tasks. First, grow cigarettes, only grow cigars, and only high-quality cigars, and then sell them at the highest price. Second, practice and improve your fighting skills. For my ability, I need a devil fruit. If there is a chance, everyone should eat one if they are willing. Third, buy ships and weapons, enough and advanced enough ships and weapons. Fourth, and most important , let others gradually feel that in the East China Sea, the Wild Wind Pirates can protect them and help them solve their problems."

Everyone looked at each other, "Baizhi" Crowe hesitated for a moment and said: "Captain, the overall plan is very good. It is possible to grow cigars on this island, but it's hard to say whether it can be sold at a high price... And you I have also seen that the villagers are quite afraid of us. If they keep rejecting us, things will be difficult to handle."

Yamaguchi, Bounty and Zangao also nodded. Seeing everyone nodding, Jerry quickly nodded along stupidly.

"Have more confidence in your captain, and more importantly, have more confidence in yourselves. I will teach you how to do it, but more often than not, you have to work hard on your own, whether it is doing things or improving your skills, methods I will tell you, as for how far you can go, it’s up to you.”

"East China Sea is just the beginning. When we become the king of East China Sea, the world will see us. Everyone, you must work hard and don't fall behind."

This is Lu Chen's final summary and his true words. This is how the pirate world is. We talk about strength first and then doctrine.

Only when you are strong enough can you have the opportunity to formulate rules and change the world!
