v2 Chapter 648： Hot Springs X Protection Fees X Big Events

"So, Captain, while we were taking a nap, you already recruited three pirate groups?"

At night, in the hot spring, Vlad was soaking in the hot spring with his partner.

The chef leaned weakly against the edge of the pool and said casually.

"kindness!"

Vlad also looked powerless. They were all capable, and it was strange that they could not lose their strength in the hot spring.

This afternoon, Vlad's victory was outstanding, and he directly recruited three affiliated pirates to the Fire Dragon Pirates, the Handsome Pirates commanded by White Horse Cavendish, and the King Kong Pirates commanded by Steel Fist Eddie. , and the Blind Date Pirates led by Jessica Cannon, although the strength of the Fire Dragon Pirates has not increased, but the power has indeed increased a lot.

Yes, in the end, Cavendish also joined Vlad's command as a matter of course. Cavendish, who had sworn to death, could only say the last sentence under the temptation of Vlad at the end. After all, Card Wendish's goal in life is to become the most shining person. As a pirate, he may not be able to do it, but in terms of his appearance, it is not difficult to be a star, and it just so happens that Vlad is There is a way, Cavendish can't refuse.

"Didn't you say you're going on vacation?"

On the other side, Luo, the ship doctor on the ship, said softly, "Hey, Captain, this vacation is not for this!"

"Well, it's all by the way,"

Vlad said lazily, "Everyone has already delivered it to your door. It's too unreasonable if you don't accept it?"

"Why so much nonsense?"

Leisurely closed his eyes and put his arms on both sides, Anilu said casually, "The captain can do whatever he wants, just not like this?"

"Uhhahahaha,"

Vlad laughed weakly, "God, you can really talk!"

"Well, what a strange feeling,"

On the other side, Bebo, the white bear covered in white fur, said softly, "It's so comfortable to soak in the hot spring, but I don't have any strength."

Isn't that of course?

Sakata, the only person who is not capable, slandered, you are all capable, okay? A group of able-bodied people don't make a fuss about coming to the hot springs, okay? If I'm not there, what should I do if I'm directly wiped out by the enemy?

"Lord Vlad, may I ask,"

It was at this time that a voice like this suddenly came from outside, "Is Lord Vlad the Fire Dragon inside?"

"yeah?"

Anilu grinned, "Is it exposed? Is it an enemy?"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!"

Vlad said casually, "If it is an enemy, it has already come in."

"Lord Vlad is inside, right?"

It was a man who spoke outside, and the voice seemed to be that of a middle-aged man, "My name is Dior, the king of this country, please meet me."

"Oh, the king? And the name Dior? It's scary!"

Vlad smiled, "Please wait, please wait!"

"Well, it's not bad!"

Vlad sat in the middle of the room, casually looking at the large boxes in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face, "Are the so-called kings and the like so rich?"

"A full half a billion baileys,"

Staring at the round Doudou eyes, the white bear Beibo looked in disbelief, "It's really rich!"

"No wonder the power of the Four Emperors is so terrifying,"

Then a box was opened, revealing thick Baileys neatly stacked on top of each other.

"It's just that the protection fee for an island has such a level. I know what kind of income such a vast site will have. Tsk, it's more money than the average pirate!"

Of course, His Majesty the King who came to visit before did not come to trouble Vlad. They did not want to die, but had a strong desire to survive. The moment they learned that Vlad was here, they immediately decided to hold their thighs and pay the protection fee. He carried several heavy boxes to send money to Vlad.

Of course Vlad didn't refuse, joking, wasn't that what he lent them the flag for? Isn't it just for Paso and Vega Punk's research funding?

With a full 500 million Baileys, it can only be said that these royal families are really rich, and they can afford such a huge sum of money casually.

"Ha, if you think about it like that,"

The chef smiled, "The protection fee of the Four Emperors has such a level, and how unfathomable is the world's largest power, the World Government?"

"Well, maybe just thinking about it makes people feel creepy?"

Vlad said casually, "Having ruled the world for 800 years, what kind of wealth has been accumulated, and what kind of power is hidden in the ghost will know, ha, when I think of being an enemy of such an opponent, I will not feel sorry for myself. "

Vlad showed a frantic smile, "Excited!"

Vlad doesn't really want to go to war with the government. His purpose is just One Piece, and he has nothing to do with the government. If the government doesn't stop him from becoming One Piece, he won't pay attention to the government at all. Lovedrew's secret is something the government is not willing to reveal anyway.

They absolutely do not want the emergence of a second One Piece, so Vlad and the government are natural opponents.

To be an enemy of the world government is to be an enemy of the world. This is really not something that can be easily dealt with.

"So what? Captain?"

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, the chef chuckled, "What's next? I mean after the vacation is over?"

"After that,"

Vlad raised his head and smiled, "Then, let's start recruiting affiliated pirates? After all, to protect such a large area, our pirate group alone is not enough! Then, at the same time, that is, "

"Charge protection fee!"

"Ha, that's the purpose of occupying the Whitebeard Pirates, isn't it?"

Vlad laughed, "This time we need to get all the funds needed for the next plan!"

"What's the next plan?"

The chef frowned, "What plan? Captain, I didn't say anything at all!"

"Ha, very interesting plan,"

Vlad smiled, "Do you know what the Industrial Revolution is?"

"what?"

It's not just chefs who are confused.

"Blu blu blu!"

Suddenly, some sharp voices sounded in the room.

"kindness?"

"Click!"

Vlad was a little surprised took a phone bug from one side, then picked it up,

"Hey, this is the fire dragon Vlad, which one?"

"It's me! The Fourth Emperor, Your Excellency Fire Dragon Vlad!"

The voice over the phone was low and playful.

"Oh? Isn't that Tezzolo? My old friend,"

Vlad smiled, "Is something wrong?"

"Hum hum hum, there's big news,"

Tezzolo smiled, "You may be interested!"

"Oh?"

Vlad raised his eyebrows, "Let's hear it."

"Born, Punk Hassad, this is big news!"
