The Leader Who Lived for His People

If he wants to be Shichibukai, in fact, Kuro feels that he can rely on his strength alone, but Kuro needs information about this kind of person to see what his trajectory is.

Since the establishment of Shichibukai, those who take the initiative to be Shichibukai, except for that weakling Luo, are all dangerous.

Blackbeard did not say anything. It was because of him that Kuro was more cautious about the Shichibukai selection, in case another similar one appeared.

Further up was Doflamingo, a dangerous person who threatened the World Government to become a Shichibukai.

If there was another similar case under his command, it would be a small matter if he did something wrong, but it would be a big deal if he lost face.

Kuro picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number.

Soon, Den Den Mushi’s appearance changed into a cold appearance with a small beard on his chin.

“Lucci..”

“Kuro? Why are you looking for me again? I am CP0 under the World Government, not Marine, nor are I under your Vice-Admiral. Pay attention to your identity!” Lucci said coldly.

“Looking for you to get some information is like asking for your life. We are all of the same body, don’t be so petty, Lucci.”

Kuro blew out smoke and said, “Do you know Joe Rudolph?”

“The World Government has no orders, we CP are not obliged to cooperate with you, Kuro!”

As Lucci spoke, he paused for a moment and said, “The leader of the Half-Merman forces in the New World is a very troublesome person. Because he is as strong as a Merman underwater, he often robs pirates in the New World and is famous in the New World.”

“You didn’t have contact with him in the beginning?” Kuro asked.

“Yes, he also wanted to join Shichibukai at that time, but the World Government took into account the opinions of the human kingdom and that Jinbe was also in Shichibukai at that time, so they ignored him. And his fame is only slightly famous in the New World, he is not the kind of existence that is famous in the sea,” Lucci said.

In the past, the World Government invited Shichibukai because of its reputation. At least, it has to be heard by people in the entire sea.

However, Joe Rudolph is only famous in New World, and it is not the positive evaluation of pirates, but the type of ‘Ground Rat’. There are only two outcomes for pirates to encounter him, either pirates kill him or he kills pirates.

“What is his purpose?” Kuro asked.

Lucci was silent for a while and said, “Maybe he wants the world to acknowledge the existence of Half-Mermaids.”

Kuro agreed on this point.

In terms of race, humans and murlocs don’t like Half-Mermaids, and in terms of camp, pirates don’t like this guy who only knows how to play dirty, and Marines don’t like him even more.

This is a trap.

“You want him to be Shichibukai?” Lucci asked.

“He took the initiative to come to me. If his purpose is simple, it is not impossible.”

Kuro said, “After all, he is strong enough, and his position seems to be that there is no other way but Shichibukai.”

Kuro didn’t care about the impact of the world alliance. If Rudolf found out that his purpose was very simple, this would be a great opportunity for Shichibukai.

His strength is not weak, and the living space is very small. There is nothing else he can do except to hug someone’s thigh.

But before he joined Yonkō (Four Emperors), it means that this pirate does not have a good impression of Yonkō (Four Emperors).

The Pirate Emperor did not like it. Instead, he wanted to be Shichibukai, which was to live under order.

Still ..

“It still depends on his sincerity.”

Kuro held the microphone and looked at the heads on the desk. “Just the heads of a few old guys are not enough.”

.. . historical

“Take the bounty.”

Crowe gave Rudolph a check and said, “The total check is 683 million, you can go to the World Bank to redeem it.”

“As for money..”

Rudolf looked at the check and did not take it. Instead, he said, “Can it be turned into supplies? My people are short of things.”

Crowe said, “You can take the money and go anywhere to buy what you want.”

Rudolf shook his head and said with a smile, “Maybe you don’t know the situation of the Half-Mermaids. We Half-Mermaids are not liked. Some of us are very similar to humans, and some are very similar to Mermen, but no matter what, we have the characteristics of fish. Look at my beard, it’s actually just one strand. My skin has no pores, and if you look carefully, you can even see tadpoles. Those humans will not sell us things, and in the New World, we can’t even find an agent.”

“Oh? There are people who don’t earn money?” Crowe asked.

“Money, of course someone earned it.”

Rudolph’s smile didn’t change at all and he continued, “But the price is too high. Our people often buy things at a high price, and the Bailey they get won’t last long. Although 600 million is a lot, my people also have thousands of people. It can’t make my people survive steadily.”

What kind of concept is 600 million? That is enough for a person to live a carefree and luxurious life.

But what if it was a hundred times the price of ordinary people?

Take a newspaper for example. For ordinary people, it’s 100 Berries, but for them, it’s 10,000 Berries. Of course, this is not talking about the newspaper. After all, news birds don’t look down on people, but businessmen do.

No merchant in the world is willing to trade with them, and those who trade with them are greedy merchants. They can get anything, and as long as their people want supplies, they can get them, but the price is.. very expensive.

The reason why Rudolf wanted to be a Shichibukai is that they are legal pirates stipulated by the World Government. They will be respected by those countries and they will no longer have to ask those cunning businessmen. This is number one.

Secondly, he also wants to get a legal place for his people to live, which is why he did not join Yonkō (Four Emperors).

Rudolf is very strong. At least since his debut, he has rarely lost. It is not that no one has come to recruit him.

Kaido had come to recruit him, but he refused. He hated that kind of chaos. He was strong, but his people also had weaklings, and Kaido hated the weak.

Big Mom came to recruit him, but Rudolph did not want to lose his soul lifespan.

Akagami (Red Hair) also came to recruit him. In fact, Akagami (Red Hair)’s rules are the most suitable, but Rudolf still doesn’t like it.

Pirates are still pirates after all. Rudolph became a pirate in order to survive and for his people, but it doesn’t mean that he wants to walk down the dark path. He is doing it for his people after all.

It is completely impossible to join the World Government as a nobody. Only by being recruited as a pirate and becoming a Shichibukai can you live within the rules.

However, he did not dare to attack the World Government for fear of giving the World Government a bad impression. He could only look for pirates crazily, hoping that the World Government would notice him, but it still did not work.

This time, he could not stand it anymore. He took the risk to come to G-3’s fortress and found the gold ingot.

He had to become Shichibukai, no matter the price!
