While Ross was deep in thought, the phone bug in Robin's pocket suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
Robin took out his phone bug and answered it.
Lafitte's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Hmm, Captain Robin... Lord Rhodes should be around, right?"
Lafitte used to call Ross Captain, but since they occupied the Sea of All Nations and the Ghost Hand Pirates were disbanded and reorganized into seven divisions, his title was changed to Lord Ross.
Robin tilted his head to look at Ross and handed the phone bug over.
"What's the matter? Lafitte."
Ross took the phone and rushed, leaning on the soft white back of Daoyun's sofa and said leisurely.
Lafitte's voice had a slight chuckle as he said: "Lord Ross should still have an impression of the industries left behind by the BIGMOM Pirates."
As one of the former Yonko Pirates, the BIGMOM Pirates, their forces are not only limited to all nations, but are involved in the dark underground world of the entire sea, and most of them have been taken over by the Ghost Hand Pirates.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Ross raised his eyebrows, sat up a little and asked.
Lafitte shrugged and said: "A dessert factory left by the BIGMOM pirates in the North Sea was destroyed. I originally planned to take it over."
It hasn't been long since Rhodes destroyed the BIGMOM Pirates. In the meantime, he experienced the incident of the Science Force Base and the fight with Whitebeard, which resulted in him not being able to fully accept the BIGMOM Pirates' former industry.
The East China Sea has not been touched, but no one has touched the West Sea. As for the North Sea, after the battle with the Whitebeard Pirates this time, Lafitte was planning to take over, but he got the news that it was gone.
"oh?"
Ross's eyes flickered slightly and he asked strangely: "Who would dare to do such a thing at this time?"
Not to mention that he had just defeated the Whitebeard Pirates, even before that, they were the four emperors who ruled the new world.
Although the legacy of the BIGMOM Pirates has not yet been completely taken over, those who dare to stretch their claws at this time are really courageous.
"No, no, it's not what you think."
Lafitte said with a slight smile in his tone: "The thing is like this, the factory left by the BIGMOM pirates was built in the Kingdom of Skol in the North Sea, and just some time ago, something happened in the Kingdom of Skol Rebellion…”
Ross didn't speak, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
Lafitte continued: "This group of rebels got a lot of money from nowhere, hired a force, defeated the Royal Army of the Kingdom of Skol, and finally overthrew the regime of the Kingdom of Skol. The factory was also It was severely damaged during the war.”
"A mess."
Ross put down the teacup and commented.
Lafitte said helplessly: "That country is not a franchised country under the World Government. Chaos is normal. The BIGMOM Pirates also have power there, but they fell apart after we occupied the waters of all nations."
"What are you going to do?"
Robin asked as he stood aside.
Ross touched his chin and said: "The North Sea is a bit far away. Even if the new regime is destroyed, it will be very troublesome to govern a country. By the way, where did the hired force come from."
Lafitte smiled at the other party on the phone and said: "The main point I want to say is this force. They have no territory, but they have the privilege of participating in the World Conference as a special force, Germa 66."
"Huh."
After hearing Lafitte's words, Ross, who originally didn't care much, flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lafitte said: "The factory and power that BIGMOM left behind there, after the BIGMOM pirates were destroyed by us, they took off the flag and established their own business. As a result, they suffered a war and were destroyed by Germa's people. . ”
"Afterwards, Germa's people discovered that it was the property left by the BIGMOM pirates, and our people happened to find it. They were very self-aware and sincerely apologized."
After hearing Lafitte's words, Ross's eyes flickered again, but he was not surprised.
The leader of Germa 66 and Sanji's father... Vinsmok Gaji is an extremely realistic character who treats the weak with disdain and only values strength and interests.
And the more such a person is, the more he knows what he is doing.
After discovering that something that shouldn't have been moved was found, Rhodes' people approached him and immediately expressed their apologies and did not dare to have any tough attitude.
In today's world, the most unprovoked force is the Ghost Hand Pirates. Even the Beasts Pirates are not as scary as the Ghost Hand Pirates.
Gaji knew very well that if he offended Ross, he would be destroyed in minutes.
If it were a character like Straw Hat Luffy, he would probably just fight. The Four Emperors and the strongest pirate group would not care about the consequences at all.
"Since you apologized and you didn't know anything about it beforehand, let them go."
Ross said nonchalantly.
He had just finished beating Whitebeard, and he was a little lazy now. He really didn't want to move if he was asked to go to Beihai to find trouble with Germa 66.
And Germa 66 also has some strength. Although it is far inferior to the power of the Four Emperors, the backbone and bottom forces are very large. To destroy Germa 66, Fujitora or Ame no Shiru will have to lead the team. Just one trip.
if that is the case.
Maybe Germa 66 will ask the World Government for help, causing a lot of subsequent trouble.
Rhodes doesn't want to have another fight with the World Government and the Navy for the time being.
"learn."
Lafitte smiled horribly and said, "But the Vinsmoke family does have the intention of getting in touch with us. Oh, by the way, the Wesmoke family is the family that rules Germa 66."
"Ok, I know."
Ross sat there with his legs crossed and said: "But the matter of setting up a line is a bit too naive. It would be nice not to cause trouble to them. You still want to use our flag?"
Because Germa 66 does not have a fixed territory, it is not taken seriously by the World Government, and its research is on cloning and transforming humans. The World Government may remove them from the participating countries and destroy them at any time.
In this situation, if you can get on the line with the Ghost Hand Pirates, you will have the ability to fake the power of a tiger.
Even if the World Government really removes them and wants to touch them, they must carefully consider whether they will collide with the Ghost Hand Pirates.
"What do you mean?"
Lafitte also knew very well that Germa's ideas were too naive, and how could he get the protection of their Ghost Hand Pirates without paying any price.
Rhodes touched his chin, thinking that there were currently not enough manpower to govern all nations, and if the clones mass-produced by Germa 66 were added, they could immediately make up for the serious manpower shortage at the middle and lower levels.
"Tell them that if they are willing to devote themselves to our service, they can consider it."
