This night.
The scattered gangs in Rogue Town were gathered together to form a new organization called the "Cross", with Bartolomeo as the first president.
This will be a moment that goes down in history.
…
East District, inside the meeting hall.
Bartolomeo raised the Bible in his left hand, and then raised his right fist.
"I am the president of the Cross, Bartolomeo. I only believe in two things in my life: the Bible in my hand and Major General Coles."
The people in the field listened in silence.
They knew the Bible, and so did Major General Coles and his men.
Charlotte Coles.
He became a second lieutenant in the Navy Headquarters three months after joining the Navy, and a major in the Navy Headquarters within a year. Now he is the youngest rear admiral in the Navy.
It is said that when the Rogue Town gang was destroyed by Coles, only Bartolomeo survived safely. Many people speculated that he had a relationship with the current Major General Coles.
Now it seems that it is true, right
With the support of a rear admiral, it seems that the development potential of the Crusade is indeed enormous, and what the president said is entirely possible!
For some members' imagination.
Bartolomeo didn't understand, so he continued, "From today on, the Cross will no longer engage in illegal activities such as collecting protection fees, opening casinos, and selling weapons."
After this sentence was uttered, rebuttal voices and opinions immediately appeared in the audience.
"President, this is a little inappropriate."
"Our main source of income is these illegal activities. If we don't do these, how can we make money?"
"Yeah, without these, what would we eat and drink?"
However, some members who had imaginations behind the scenes did not think so, and they even became a little excited.
really!
Behind President Bartolomeo stood the youngest rear admiral in the navy.
As we all know, Major General Coles is the representative of justice, and it is naturally impossible for their Cross organization to continue to engage in those illegal activities.
It must be like this!
However, President Bartolomeo cannot say this kind of thing openly.
The more these members thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and they also expressed their support for Bartolomeo.
"Why, these are the only things we can do? Can't we make money by doing other things?"
"Since the president said so, he must have prepared a plan. Why are you so anxious?"
"Yes, we believe in President Bartolomeo. He will definitely lead us to earn more wealth and have a better life."
With the support of the youngest rear admiral in the Navy, the Cross Society will surely make a fortune.
This is the idea of the brain supplement members.
The other people who didn't imagine it were confused and puzzled.
Why did Bartolomeo want to cut off their financial resources, and why did so many people support him at the scene? Are they idiots
In just the time it takes to think, the live sound is covered by the members in his imagination.
"Support the President!"
"President Bartolomeo, we believe in you."
"Tell me, President, what should we do next? I believe that the Cross Society will become an organization that resounds throughout the East China Sea!"
Bartolomeo looked at the excited members in front of him and was filled with surprise.
He couldn't help scratching his head, feeling that it was a little unreal!
This seems to be going a little too smoothly, doesn't it
But it’s better this way, he is too lazy to waste time explaining.
“My next plan is to…
“Buy special medicine!”
A smile appeared on Bartolomeo's ugly and even slightly vicious face. He took out a bottle of white medicine and put it on the table.
"A bottle of this special medicine costs one million Baileys in our East China Sea, but in the North China Sea, it only costs one hundred thousand Baileys, or even less!
We have many patients in Donghai who need it, so the Cross Society needs this medicine.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present could see the enormous value of this special medicine, and their breathing became rapid.
However, there are still some clear-headed people who question this.
"President Bartolomeo, we know what you said, but there is a huge red soil continent between the East Sea and the North Sea. We can't go to the North Sea at all."
Before this, there were businessmen who wanted to take advantage of the distance between the seas to conduct differentiated trade, but the huge red soil continent and the great waterway were the biggest obstacles.
Bartolomeo replied solemnly: “So, we only have one way.
That is the Upside-Down Mountain that leads to the Great Channel. This is a very dangerous route, and I will select the most fearless warriors to go with me. "
The Red Earth Continent and the Grand Route are two rings respectively, so there are two intersections. The first intersection is the Upside-Down Mountain, not far from Rogue Town.
There are five waterways on Upside Down Mountain, forming an "x-" shape, with water flowing in four and out one. Water from four of the waterways flows from the bottom to the top of the mountain.
These four rivers connect the East China Sea, West China Sea, South China Sea and North China Sea respectively, and the last waterway flows into the Great Route.
Bartolomeo had consulted his country grandmother, who told him that there was a road between the East Sea and the North Sea, and that it was feasible to take this waterway to enter the Grand Waterway, but it was extremely dangerous.
As for how to overcome the upward current of the North Sea once you reach Diandao Mountain via the water route of the East China Sea, that would require a certain amount of time.
According to the sea knowledge that the old lady knew, at a certain special moment at night, the current from the North Sea rushing towards the Upside-down Mountain would not be too fast, and at that time, with the help of special power boats, it would be possible to rush down to the North Sea from that waterway.
This is a very dangerous route and few people can do it!
But Bartolomeo decided to give it a try.
There are many people in Donghai who need this medicine to save their lives, and he needs to do this.
Pastor, be fearless!
While waiting for the special power ship to be modified, Bartolomeo also restrained the members of the "Crusader" from doing illegal things. At the same time, he instilled humanitarianism in everyone, and taught them to rescue and help others in exchange for money.
After the transformation of the power sailboat is completed.
Bartolomeo led twenty warriors and sailed to Upside Down Mountain.
The members of the Cross Society of Rogue Town adopted a wait-and-see attitude. If Bartolomeo could bring back a large number of special medicines, the Cross Society would continue to develop. If he could not, the Cross Society would quickly disband.
After a dangerous journey, Bartolomeo successfully reached the North Sea by water on a modified power sailboat.
After all, it was his first time going out to sea, and Bartolomeo encountered many problems, but fortunately he was able to use Den Den Mushi to contact the omnipotent country grandmother, and those problems were gradually solved.
…
…
Time goes back to the present.
Bartolomeo encountered various difficulties and obstacles on the special powered sailboat and finally arrived at the drug production base in the North Sea.
Clark Island!
It is said that because it is a place for drug wholesale, the price of medicine here is even lower, and the price of special medicine is only 50,000 Baileys per bottle.
This information was obtained by Bartolomeo from the people on some North Sea islands when he passed by them.
At the port, many cargo ships come and go.
The arrival of Bartolomeo's power-converted sailboat did not attract much attention.
Looking around, Bartolomeo could see a large number of workers on some huge cargo ships carrying medicines at the port.
There is an exclusive area in the port, where a flag symbolizes a smiley face, and the workers around it dare not approach it.
Bartolomeo also knew something about this. It was the symbol of Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
After leaving several members of the Cross to guard the ship, Bartolomeo began to lead the rest of the members to the island.
Clark is an island with many pharmaceutical factories. The air here is filled with a faint smell of medicine, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Pedestrians on the street basically wear masks to prevent the pungent smell.
Bartolomeo took his people to find a pharmaceutical factory to negotiate the purchase of special-effect drugs.
However, after contacting several pharmaceutical factories, they were told that only the pharmaceutical production base owned by the Don Quixote family had the special medicine for sale.
Bartolomeo and others had no choice but to go to the pharmaceutical production base with a smiley face logo.
However, the response from the pharmaceutical company owned by the Don Quixote family was cold.
"I'm sorry, but we only provide special medicines to the World Government and don't sell them to others. If you want them, you can go to other islands to buy them."
Bartolomeo was immediately extremely disappointed.
He originally thought that coming to this island with a pharmaceutical production base, the special-effect medicine would be cheaper, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly supply the goods to the world government.
Bartolomeo was unwilling to give up. He and his men continued to look for several other pharmaceutical production bases, but still returned empty-handed.
It was sunset.
The dim light of the setting sun reflects Bartolomeo's current mood of fading.
"It seems that our trip here is in vain. Let's buy some new food and leave this island. Let's go to other islands in the North Sea."
At this moment, a little boy who had been observing Bartolomeo and others for a long time came out.
"I have special medicine for sale at home, do you want it?"
