Pirates: Knowledge is power

After the Ghost King soldiers helped Whitebeard repair the Moby-Dick, Drum stood on the shore and looked at the ship going away, carefully considering what was going to happen next.

During the dinner last night, Drum had already reached a cooperation with Whitebeard.

The content is that Whitebeard helps him collect a pirate navy with certain strength, and Dram is responsible for paying commissions and bounties for the pirates to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Whitebeard also hesitated about this cooperation, but he still agreed.

The content of the cooperation is just casual to him, and the trouble may be how to transport it to Dram.

But Whitebeard also made an additional request, that is, to sell some of the artificial Devil Fruits created by Dram to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Drum also agreed to Whitebeard's condition. From now on, their relationship would be an alliance, and it was a relatively strong one. Naturally, he would not be stingy.

The only problem now is that Dram needs to find a location on the sea to use as its superficial headquarters.

Now, unlike before, Dram's plan has changed from developing in secret to actively expanding outward and establishing his own power...

His current strength is considered to be at the top of the list, and he also has a large number of ghost king soldiers following him, so he will no longer be as timid as before.

The next day, after a comprehensive search in Dram, a small island was found near the waters of Wano that was fairly fertile and large enough.

The island is called Black Forest Island, and there are a large number of sturdy black trees growing on the island.

Black Forest Island is the headquarters that Dram plans to put on the map.

After occupying an island, it is natural to hang up your own logo. Drum has designed many logos in his spare time before.

Durham chose the simplest and most recognizable pattern as his logo.

A few days later, a group of pirates broke into Black Forest Island.

"Boss, this is Black Forest Island, right? I remember we have been here a few times. It seems very poor here. Is there really anything we can grab?"

The leader of this group of pirates is a middle-aged man in his thirties with a hideous scar on his face and a knife stuck in his waist. His face is as needle-like as stubble.

"Don't worry. According to the information of that group, two merchant ships have arrived at Black Forest Island recently. There must be people robbing this island now."

"Boss, this place seems to be covered by someone. Look at the flag."

One of the boys pointed to the flag fluttering in the wind in the distance and said.

Dark red flag, black flying dragon logo. Drum's flag looks so special.

He squinted his eyes, glanced at the flag, and then didn't care.

"It's just that unknown little pirate. He really thought that this place would belong to him once he planted the flag. Come on, let me teach them a lesson."

"Boss, what if the other party is someone we can't afford to offend?" someone asked worriedly.

"Can't afford to offend. Every pirate with a name on the sea has his own logo. Think of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates. Their logos are easy to recognize, but where did this flag come from? I’ve seen him before, he’s definitely not a strong man.”

"Besides, who am I, Scarflee? I have a bounty of 120 million. Apart from the navy and those monsters, there is no one else on the sea that I can't afford to offend."

Fu Li raised the scimitar in his hand and said confidently.

After all, his 120 million bounty, in this era, is already considered to be on the higher end of the spectrum, both in terms of bounty and strength.

If the navy wanted to capture a strong man like him, it would have to deploy at least a vice-admiral-level combat force.

With this strength, he can indeed be so proud that he ignores most powerful people.

But obviously, he didn't understand the situation this time and kicked the iron plate.

He took his little brother and strutted towards the center of the Black Forest Island.

The group of people did not notice the drone flying in the sky at all...

The camera was focused on Foley and his group, and they had no idea. When they stepped into the nearby sea, Bian had already been discovered, and their every move was under surveillance by drones.

There was originally a village in the center of Black Forest Island, but it is gone now.

Only the remains of some villages are left, which are being demolished by the Ghost King's soldiers.

Drum stood in front of a huge pit, holding a blueprint in his hand, and was supervising the Ghost King soldiers to dig pits, bury stones, and build foundations. Everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Black Forest Island will be his external headquarters in the future. Not to mention it will be as luxurious as Mary Joa, but if it is too shabby, it will really lose his face, so Drum designed the drawings and came over in person.

His plan is to build a huge castle on the Black Forest Island. There are no special requirements, at least it will be better than the naval headquarters Marinefando.

In order to complete the Black Forest Island, Dram specially came here to supervise.

According to the ghost king's sleepless work progress, it can be completed in three months at most.

Moreover, the Oni King soldiers do not need wages, and most of the required materials can be transported from Wano Country, which is another frugal expenditure.

While Dram was flipping through the drawings, a Ghost King soldier came over, holding a monitor in both hands.

After walking in front of Dram, the monitor flickered, showing Fulie and his group entering the island.

Drum turned his head and glanced, then turned his attention to the drawing.

"Eve, who is here?"

"Scar Frey, along with his crew, Scar Pirates, Captain Frey, has a bounty of 120 million Baileys. The other crew members have different bounties, but none of them have a bounty exceeding 10 million."

"Let the Ghost King's soldiers go and capture everyone."

Drum casually ordered a bounty of 120 million, which is considered a figure in the current sea.

Although he is not as famous as those big pirates, he is not someone that ordinary navy can deal with.

He doesn't have much shortage of such materials, but it's quite good to catch them and work for free.

As for how to control it, he has plenty of means.

So when Furay and his group were preparing to walk through the Black Forest, the surrounding trees suddenly burst into crowds of people.

Before a group of them could figure out what was going on, nearly a hundred Ghost King soldiers jumped out of the woods and surrounded them.

There were only thirty people in Fu Li's group, but there were hundreds of ghost king soldiers who came to arrest them.

The battle is about to break out, but the outcome is already determined.

With this dual advantage of quantity and quality, the Scar Pirates completely lost their ability to resist in less than three minutes.

Even the most powerful Fu Li was defeated by several Ghost King soldiers, and in the end he had to be captured unwillingly...
