Build The Strongest Family in the Prirate World

The next day, Capone Bege, a senior member of the Gambino family, betrayed them and joined the Valoran family. This news caused a stir in West Blue as the Gambino Family Alliance fell apart, leaving only the Bonano family standing.

The Valoran family quickly defeated the alliance between the Gambino family and other smaller mafia groups. Many doubted how long the Bonano family could hold out against the Valoran family's dominance.

On Valoran Island, Duke felt depressed despite the impending control of the West Blue underground world. He had expected a substantial treasure from the Gambino family, but their actual loot was disappointing.

"Capone Bege, did you steal my treasure?" Duke asked quietly, feeling suspicious.

Capone Bege, standing before him, sweated nervously. He knew the consequences if Duke discovered any embezzlement.

"I would never steal from you, Boss Duke. The lack of treasure is due to Gambino's spending on arms and an attempt on your life," Capone Bege explained, trying to reassure Duke of his loyalty.

Capone Bege realized the power of Graves and Hauser Ti, prominent figures in the Valoran family. Despite his abilities, he knew he couldn't match them without significant support.

Capone Bege's ambitions went beyond mere riches. He aimed to eliminate Duke, take over the Valoran family, and control West Blue's underworld.

Duke, frustrated by the situation, acknowledged Capone Bege's betrayal and the loss of trust.

In this ruthless world, power and ambition often outweigh material wealth, and Capone Bege was ready to seize his opportunity for greater influence.

"Explain to me, why should I trust you?" Duke questioned Capone Bege, his doubts lingering despite the explanation.

Capone Bege felt the weight of Duke's suspicion but remained composed. He knew that the real strength lay in figures like Ahri, with immense potential, and Lao.G, whose power was rapidly growing.

Duke dismissed concerns about the supposed assassin cadre from the funeral home. He couldn't fathom top pirates targeting a small mafia family leader for a mere billion Berry's.

"I'll give you a chance to take me out," Duke continued, his tone stern. "But remember, failure means death. And don't dare to disobey me or embezzle my treasure."

Capone Bege, momentarily stunned by Duke's offer, quickly regained his composure. He realized Duke's tolerance might be the key to his dominance in West Blue.

He vowed loyalty to Duke, hiding his true ambitions for now. He knew challenging Duke would require careful planning and understanding the Valoran family's strength.

Duke, with newfound wealth from the Gambino family and other sources, prepared to make a significant move. He kept some treasure aside for Valoran family development, aiming for greater influence.

After a ritual honoring the deceased Gambino family godfather, Duke took a chance with a high-level lottery, hoping for a substantial gain to bolster his power.
