"So what? I won't lose, and I won't let you pirates trample on my country!"
Avi stood up and said fearlessly.
"Hahahaha, in this World, the weak have no human rights, and the strong take all!"
"If you want to stop all of this, then show me your strength and defeat me!"
Ashura Doji stopped talking nonsense and excitedly rushed towards Avi again.
He liked fighting against the strong, because only then could he become stronger!
Ashura Doji's heart yearned to constantly become stronger, stronger, and even stronger, to become as powerful as Shimotsuki Ryuma. He wanted to become a Grand Swordmaster like Nox!
After understanding his opponent's weakness, Ashura Doji launched a crazy counterattack.
Even though he had obtained Nox's sword technique training notes, which included Nox's Limitless Sword Style.
But he didn't fully learn Nox's Limitless Sword Style. Instead, he incorporated the essence of the Limitless Sword Style into his own sword techniques, improving and enhancing them.
He knew that by completely learning Nox's sword techniques, it would be impossible to become a Grand Swordmaster.
Nox soon led his fleet to the Bellos Kingdom as well, but upon arriving, what he saw was not the Bellos Kingdom's resistance, but chaos.
The Bellos Kingdom was currently at war with other forces, and the Bellos Kingdom was completely at a disadvantage. It wouldn't be long before Bellos was defeated.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Nox looked at everything before him in confusion. It seemed someone had come to seize the Bellos Kingdom one step ahead of him.
Who was so bold as to dare to pick his peach? This made him very interested.
Nox watched as he stepped off the ship.
"Respected Mr. Nox, I am a subordinate of the new Sea Transport King Umit!"
"This country was infiltrated by us a long time ago. Now that we heard Mr. Nox was going to attack this country, Sea Transport King Umit ordered us to attack and take this country to give to Mr. Nox."
"This is Sea Transport King Umit's den den mushi."
Upon seeing Nox appear, someone specifically walked over and said this, while also giving him a den den mushi.
His expression was very respectful, without any arrogance.
"Interesting, surrendering?"
Nox looked at the den den mushi before him and said with interest.
Before coming, he had already understood the basic information about the Bellos Kingdom.
The Bellos Kingdom used to specialize in shipbuilding in the New World, building ships for many countries in the New World.
But with the rise of the Pirates, the demand for ships increased, and the Bellos Kingdom developed as a result, becoming a well-known shipbuilding kingdom in the New World.
However, as the Bellos Kingdom developed, its reputation grew, its business increased, and the wealth it accumulated became immense, eventually attracting the greed of many Pirates.
The Bellos Kingdom, which didn't have much strength itself, couldn't possibly withstand the greed of so many Pirates in the New World, and eventually it was ravaged by Pirates and gradually declined.
The previous Sea Transport King was one of the main forces that led to the decline of the Bellos Kingdom, because the Sea Transport King's business was maritime transportation, which required a lot of ships.
In order to reduce costs, after the Bellos Kingdom declined, the Sea Transport King captured many shipwrights and made them build ships specifically for the Sea Transport King.
After the new Sea Transport King Umit took office, as soon as he heard that Nox was going to attack the Bellos Kingdom, he volunteered to take down the Bellos Kingdom for Nox and then give it to him.
As an underground emperor of Dark World, he was very clear about his position.
Although the title of underground emperor of Dark World sounded impressive, he knew that this identity would never be presentable.
Furthermore, because his strength was too weak, the maritime transport business involved a vast amount of operations and interests.
With his immense wealth, he couldn't protect his wealth and status with his own strength. He needed to rely on the power of other strong individuals to protect his interests.
Therefore, sharing a portion of his interests to win over the strong and tying his interests to theirs, thereby ensuring his wealth and status, was something many underground emperors had to do.
Sea Transport King Umit, upon hearing that Nox was going to attack the Bellos Kingdom, decisively decided to surrender to Nox.
After all, Nox's strength was very great, and his potential was also very large, making him a perfect target to win over.
"Mr. Nox, that's right, the Bellos Kingdom is my surrender!"
A young man's voice came from the den den mushi. From the voice, one could tell that the other party was not old.
"Is that so? The Bellos Kingdom is my target. You're using my target as a means of surrender. Do you think you have a lot of face? Or do you think I need your help to take down the Bellos Kingdom?"
"If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, do you really think my sword won't be put to your neck?"
However, regarding Sea Transport King Umit's surrender, Nox's voice was very cold.
Using his things to surrender, did he really think Nox was a fool?
"Mr. Nox, the Bellos Kingdom is just a Meeting Gift. I have twenty shipwrights who were previously captured from the Bellos Kingdom, and they are being sent to the Bellos Kingdom."
"Along with them are ten ships comparable to Marine Vice Admiral level warships, which I am also giving to you."
"In addition, I can help you transport the goods you need to sell to all parts of the World, and I will only charge the cost price."
Sea Transport King Umit was not angry and continued to say with a smile.
It must be said that none of those who could become underground emperors were simple. All the things the Sea Transport King gave were what the Limitless Pirates lacked.
The Limitless Pirates had a small number of ships and needed more ships to develop. Furthermore, due to the harsh environment in the Sea area, ordinary ships could not sail on the Sea.
At least ships at the Marine Rear Admiral level were needed to sail normally.
The Limitless Pirates were located in an area where foreign trade was currently almost 0, so they were also in urgent need of being able to sell the products from their territory.
Then they could obtain more profits to feed back into the Limitless Pirates themselves, so that Nox wouldn't have to continuously drain his small treasury.
Putting everything else aside, some of the mass-producible medicines researched by Lesley would sell well as long as they could be promoted. At that time, Berries would come rolling in.
"Not enough!"
Although the conditions offered by Sea Transport King Umit were very good, Nox's tone was still cold. This small amount of profit was insignificant to the Sea Transport King, who was an underground emperor.
It was impossible to get on his Nox's ship so easily.
"Mr. Nox, I can transport goods for you for free, and on top of the previous offer, I will also give you ten more Rear Admiral level warships and twenty shipwrights."
Upon hearing this, Sea Transport King Umit was not angered, but continued to increase the price.
Anyone who could become an underground emperor couldn't be someone who lacked money. What he lacked was powerful strength and a powerful backer.
Since he didn't have powerful strength himself, he could only find a powerful backer.
In the New World, Nox's strength was great, and his reputation was not weak, making him a very suitable backer for him.
"Not enough!!"
In response, Nox did not back down. These things did not guarantee that the Sea Transport King would be able to open up maritime transport and have his own fleet in the future.
"In addition, I have a precious ore here that can forge one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, and I will also give it to you for free."
Hearing Nox's same tone, the Sea Transport King revealed his final trump card.
This ore was one of the most precious things he inherited from the previous Sea Transport King.
Great Swords could be forged, and Supreme Grade Swords could also be forged.
However, to forge a Supreme Grade Sword, not only did one need the World's top blacksmiths, but also the World's top forging materials.
This ore was not only something Umit had tried to get someone to forge into a Supreme Grade Sword, but the previous Sea Transport King had also tried to find someone to forge a new Supreme Grade Sword.
But without any surprise, all the blacksmiths they found stated that they were unable to forge this ore into a Supreme Grade Sword.
Not to mention forging it, they couldn't even melt or refine the ore.
So this ore had been sitting in the treasury collecting dust.
He knew that Nox was a powerful Grand Swordmaster, vaguely referred to as the World's Greatest Swordsman, which was why he specifically took out this ore as a bargaining chip.
To impress a strong person like Nox, he had to cater to his preferences.
"Okay, I agree!"
Hearing Umit's words, a slight smile appeared on Nox's lips.
He had originally intended to extort him a little to see if the Sea Transport King had anything precious in his hands. He didn't expect that this guy actually had such a top-grade ore!
Ore that could forge Supreme Grade Swords was extremely rare in this World, even harder to find than Supreme Grade Swords themselves.
Currently, he had seen quite a few Supreme Grade Swords, but he had never seen a single piece of ore that could forge Supreme Grade Swords.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Nox, from now on we are partners, please take care of me."
"The things I promised you will be delivered to you in five days."
Sea Transport King Umit, seeing that the deal was done, also laughed excitedly.
Having Nox as a backer was a very good thing for him, who had just taken over the position of Sea Transport King.
At least it was until he had firmly established himself in this position.
"Once I have the things, we are partners, but I have to remind you, partners need to be honest."
Nox couldn't help but say.
In the World of Pirates, talking about honesty is a very ridiculous thing, because that kind of thing is worthless. Interests are the root of everything.
"Don't worry, Mr. Nox, my reputation as Sea Transport King Umit is known throughout the World, and I will never harm my partners."
The Sea Transport King said.
"Hand over the Bellos Kingdom to us, you can leave!"
After finishing speaking with Sea Transport King Umit, Nox hung up the den den mushi and said to the person who had given him the den den mushi just now.
