Hunter X Hunter: The Strongest Corpse Touch

"This way you can keep up with me when I act in the future.

Ron said, that's exactly what he thought.

In the next 1517, 1518 and 1519 years of the Ocean Calendar, except for Ace the Fire Fist going to sea and Crocodile causing trouble in Alabasta, the sea will rarely become calm.

It is perfect to use this calm time to accumulate strength. Counting the current year of 1516, four years is enough!

Blackbeard could endure it for decades on Whitebeard's ship just for a Dark Fruit. Four years was nothing to Ron.

"Three or four years to accumulate strength, does that mean the official big move will be four years later, in 1520?"

Lafitte keenly captured another hidden meaning of "four two three" under Ron's words, and thought to himself.

After thinking about it, Lafitte put forward his idea to Ron: "If that's the case, Captain, I have an immature suggestion, but I don't know what requirements you have for the crew."

"Do you want to be able to truly support the backbone of a pirate group that can overwhelm the sea, or do you want to simply fill in some manpower to expand the scale?"

Isn’t it more expensive to have more essence than more, or is it more expensive to have more essence?

Ron thought about it, in fact, no matter which top pirate group it is, it is destined to have many affiliated forces, and the number is definitely indispensable.

As for being able to support the backbone of the pirate group, Ron has actually already had an idea and a way to get started, but it's not the time yet.

"The primary goal is to fill all the functional positions of the pirate group~"

After all, although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, it can only be regarded as a qualified pirate group if it meets various positions.

The current positions on the ship include lookout Perona, ship's doctor Hogbakucu, Dr. Indigo, navigator and steward Lafitte, sniper Van Oka who is ready to board the ship, historian Nicole Robin, and Several combatants.

As for the shipwright, Ron's pirate ship has been completed more than half of the time. With the recruitment of Perona and Ronald, many shipwrights came to help and it can be listed as a candidate for the ship.

In particular, two shipwrights who had just arrived in the Seven Water Capitals recently and planned to apply for jobs at Carrera Company were attracted by Perona and a few others in the name of "practicing their skills before applying for jobs."

as free labor.

They showed quite good shipbuilding skills. Even Franky admired those two people and wanted to call Mr. Bingshan to focus on training these two people.

By the way, these two guys are both young men of eighteen or nineteen years old. One has a long square nose but likes to call himself an old man at a young age. The other wears a black top hat and has a cold face and does not like to communicate with others. When speaking, ventriloquism is used to express meaning with the help of pigeons on shoulders.

Well, after CP9’s Kalifa successfully applied for the job of Bingshan’s secretary, Kaku and Rob Lucci also planned to infiltrate Carrera Company through their secretarial relationship.

However, they wanted to enter as shipwrights. Even with Kalifa's help, craftsmanship was indispensable. Franky happened to be looking for a man-made ship.

After receiving the invitation and secretly seeing Franki's excellent craftsmanship, they also wanted to actually test the shortcomings of their own craftsmanship, and also learn from Franky's experience to find out what Carrera's shipbuilding was like. What is the level of the craftsman's skills, so he stayed to help with the work.

It has to be said that in addition to practicing the task of assassinating spies, the two of them are also top-notch shipwrights. There is absolutely no problem in being shipwrights.

In other words, the chef and the dispensable helmsman and musician are still missing.

Let’s not talk about the latter two for now, but Chef Ron wants to find one seriously, which involves an idea that he wants to exponentially increase the strength of the crew.

After Ron told Lafitte his request, the latter fell into deep thought.

"If you just want to fill in some decent manpower, I do know a place that can meet your requirements, captain."

He considered his words for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Oh? Where is it?"

"Champaign Islands, Population Auction.

Lafitte gave Ron a rather unexpected place.

Small island No. 1 of the Shampoo Islands is an illegal zone with human trafficking shops and human auctions...

The largest auction house among them was run by Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords.

There are all kinds of treasures, famous swords, and even devil fruits, as well as slaves who dare to openly auction them and regard it as a kind of fun.

That kind of place harbors filth and evil, and has always been a favorite place for dignitaries, various underground forces, and pirates and navy.

Even the Tianlong people go there from time to time to auction things.

“The goods auctioned by the largest auction house have a good reputation and are of good quality with guaranteed quality. We should be able to buy the goods we want there.

Lafitte said tactfully.

"Human trafficking?" Ron couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.

It is undeniable that although the technology tree of the One Piece world is very crooked, it has at least got rid of the slave society.

The existence of kings, guards, world governments, etc. is very similar to the aristocracy of Europe in the 1770s and 1800s.

However, due to the existence of the world's biggest cancer - the Celestial Dragons, the sale of human beings is actually legal, and slaves are openly auctioned.

This has to be said to be a tragedy for the world and a regression of human civilization.

"Yes, I heard that the next auction will be held to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of the auction. It will give back 0.6 new and old households. Many treasures will be auctioned."

Lafitte took out a pamphlet from his hand at some point and shook it in the air.

"This auction has been widely circulated in the underground world. The advertising expenses in newspapers alone cost millions or tens of millions!"

"A slave of much higher quality than before. Extremely powerful. It is said that he has an ancient animal-type devil fruit. As a swordsman, he must not miss the twenty-one skills of the sharp sword...

Lafitte introduced the treasures that were about to appear at the auction to Ron in detail.

"He is indeed Doflamingo. He has brought out so many good things. His skill and courage are indeed impressive."
