Build The Strongest Family in the Prirate World

Some Island holds a strategic position as a supply point for heavenly gold collected by several kingdoms in West Blue.

The 74th branch base of Navy Headquarters is stationed there, with Galen serving as the base director, holding the rank of Vice Admiral.

He has personally captured several big pirates in the New World with bounties over 100 million, showcasing his combat prowess comparable to a Navy Headquarters Rear Admiral.

Ordinary 16th branch bases typically have Rear Admiral-ranked officers with lower combat power compared to Navy Headquarters generals.

However, the 74th branch base, especially with Galen at its helm, stands out for its strength and strategic importance.

The pursuit of heavenly gold by pirates faces immense challenges, given the involvement of powerful CP agents, Marine generals, and the inevitable pursuit by the World Government after plundering such wealth.

Sky Gold is known to be a vast fortune, but only a few dare to venture for it due to the risks involved.

Duke's interest in the heavenly gold ties into Ocean Disaster Plank's actions of plundering it.

However, Duke faces financial challenges, making money his primary concern in pursuing such treasures.

Regarding the Navy's Jewel Ice cap, it holds immense treasures accumulated over centuries.

To access these treasures, one must master the Cone Dragon Cone Nail, a supreme secret of the Eight Treasure Navy combining Armament Haki and Bao Huang.

This secret is comparable to the Armed Color Emission known only to top-tier generals and emperors in the pirate world.

Duke's acquisition of the Black Cleaver, an S-level equipment, boosts his combat capabilities significantly.

With this, he engages in battles against Seti, Graves, and others, showcasing his strength and determination to attain wealth and power.

He leveled up to level six, now matching the combat power of a Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral!

A few years later, his bounty was only 210 million. Lao Cai, with the same combat power as a Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral,

After mastering the Kone Kone no Mi Fruit, he unlocked the Jewel Ice Cap.

Now, Darius, known as the Hand of Noxus, wielding the Black Cutter artifact,

Duke suspects Darius might break the Jewel Ice Cap!

If that fails, wait until Darius reaches level nine before trying again.

It's relatively easy to level up heroes early on.

The Hand of Noxus and Gragas, summoned by Duke before, took advantage of the night.

They quietly left Valoran!

Once the wine barrel had noted down most of its wine recipes,

It made little sense for it to stay with the Vinsmoke family.

Instead, it's time to raid the heavenly gold,

And Planck, who's being hunted by the world government, needs assistance.

Gragas and Hand of Noxus Darius,

Duke kept them hidden from the world.

The Valoran family is already formidable. Even with more powerful heroes, changing West Blue won't be easy.

Before facing off with the world government,

Hiding many heroes' strength,

And scattering them across different seas and factions would benefit Duke!

Eventually, Duke's heroes will dominate the seas.

But first, Duke needs to find ways to make more money.

He can't just rely on water and electricity factories in West Blue.

Investing early is necessary to earn more!

Infrastructure and farming are deeply ingrained in Duke's plans.

Three days later, Gragas joined Gangplank's pirates.

After defeating many Gangplank Pirates' leaders, he became a senior cadre.

Gragas is skilled in drinking and fighting.

He's a born pirate.

Meanwhile, Hand of Noxus quietly reached the Jade Ice Cap, planning something big.

Blood Duke Dracula, senior cadre of the funeral home, dressed in a noble uniform, pale with a strong blood scent,

Has arrived in West Blue.

"Are you leaders of Shadow Stream?"

"It wasn't easy finding you!"

Dracula tossed aside a Shadow Stream member, maimed and drained of blood.

He spoke to Conis and Z, leaders of Shadow Stream.

After torturing many Shadow Stream members to find them,

"Now, for wasting my time,"

"I'll ask once,"

"Will you join our friendly funeral home?"

Dracula grinned arrogantly, speaking in an aristocratic tone.
