Chapter 65: 1000 million is not too much, 800 million is still not enough
boom!
boom!
boom!
The rumbling of the earthquake on Beehive Island continued until noon the following day.
Kaido carried the half-dead Wang Zhi and walked into the interior of the rocky mountain on Beehive Island.
The pirates along the way looked at Kaido with fear on their faces, and not one of them dared to stand up and stop him.
Upon arriving at the infirmary inside the rocky mountain, they casually tossed Wang Zhi inside.
"Treat him!"
The doctors and nurses were shocked. Without saying a word, they immediately lifted Wang Zhi onto the operating table and began emergency treatment.
It was evening.
Wang Zhi woke up.
The first thing he saw was Kaido standing by the bed.
Her lips twitched a couple of times before she finally voiced the question that had been nagging at her.
Why didn't you kill me?
"There's no need. Our feud isn't that big, and you still have value that I can use."
The key point is the last sentence, and Wang Zhi smiled.
He struggled to sit up in bed, yelling, "Food! Drinks! Bring them all up right now!!"
The pirates waiting outside the door immediately scurried off to inform and prepare.
Not long after.
Banquet hall.
A long, large table was laden with all sorts of delicious dishes, food, and wine.
Kaido and Wang Zhi then enjoyed their meal immensely.
As he ate, Wang Zhi began to activate Life Return, continuously repairing the damaged parts of his body.
After a hearty meal and drinks, Wang Zhi tore off the bandages on his body, having fully recovered to his peak condition.
Of course, the reason it recovered so quickly is also because Kaido didn't use too much force.
Wang Zhi waved his hand, and the pirates hurriedly cleared all the pots, pans, and dishes off the table.
Only Kaido and Wang Zhi remained in the entire banquet hall.
"Tell me, what do you want from me if you don't kill me?"
Wang Zhi lit a cigar, took a satisfying puff, and slowly exhaled white smoke.
"You wouldn't be thinking of recruiting me as your subordinate, would you?"
"Heh heh heh heh, you old codger, you're dreaming."
Kaido sat directly opposite Wang Zhi, his sword drawn and imposing.
"It's better to start from scratch and train a little brat than to look for someone who has already exhausted their potential. Whether it's loyalty or the time they can serve me in the future, they are far superior to you!"
Wang Zhi flicked the cigarette ash into the ashtray with a disdainful look.
How can you train a kid from scratch to reach his level?
This must be a joke!
However, Kaido was right about one thing.
After Lox's death, it was impossible for Wang Zhi to remain subservient to anyone.
Even if Kaido were to kill him on Beehive Island today, he would never submit to Kaido!
On the other side, Kaido knew what Wang Zhi was disdainful of the moment he saw Wang Zhi's attitude.
However, Kaido was too lazy to explain to Wang Zhi. The power of the system meant that he was not worried about not finding talent at all.
So Kaido stopped wasting words and went straight to the point, stating his purpose.
"I need people, a lot of people!"
"Population?" Wang Zhi was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "You're also going to do slave trading?"
He took a deep drag on his cigar and then asked, "Didn't you used to hate slave traders the most?"
"Times have changed! And what I want is not slaves, but people! Real people!!"
Kaido explained, "I brought them back to give them land and houses, and to treat them properly as citizens of the country!!"
Wang Zhi was stunned again, somewhat shocked.
"Are you serious?!"
He slumped in the large chair, frowning slightly, and asked:
"That Dragon Kingdom you started in the West Blue, actually got established? The World Government and the Navy didn't come after you?!"
"How could they not have hit me?"
Kaido chuckled, "Not only did they send troops to attack me, but they also dispatched Sengoku, Zephyr, and that Figarand from God Valley."
"Such a terrifying lineup?!"
Wang Zhi was startled.
"How did you and Lingling manage to get through this?!"
"That's none of your concern."
Kaido took a price list from his system inventory and tossed it to Wang Zhi.
"In short, the Dragon Kingdom has been officially established, and will become a member state of the World Government in the near future!"
"Yes, the newspaper should be out in a week or two."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Wang Zhi exclaimed, his eyes wide. "Not only did they establish a nation, but they also became a member state of the World Government! How did they do that?!"
Kaido didn't answer and changed the subject again.
"So now, I've come to you specifically, you slave trader, to fill the country's population through your channels."
"The Dragon Kingdom has a total land area of 200,000 square kilometers, of which about 60% is arable land. Once successfully developed, it can support at least 50 to 60 million people. But right now, the total population of the country is less than 3 million!"
"So, Wang Zhi, you understand, right?"
Kaido braced his hands on the table, leaning slightly forward.
"A massive order catering to tens of millions of people! Do you have the guts to take it?"
Wang Zhi's fingers, which were smoking, twitched instinctively.
"You want tens of millions of people?! Are you fucking kidding me?!"
"Uro ro ro ro..."
Kaido grinned.
Do you think I'm joking?
Wang Zhi froze, staring blankly at Kaido, his cigar lingering there, burning slowly and silently.
Kaido's strong body sat back down in the chair.
"I'm not picky. I'll take them all, regardless of race, gender, age, or gender, as long as they're not cannibals!"
"The price will be the standard price on that list."
Wang Zhi snapped out of his daze and looked down at the price list that Kaido had just given him.
Humanity's total is 300,000 Berries per person.
The Dwarfs, Mink Tribe, Snake-Headed Tribe, Long-Armed Tribe, Long-Leg Tribe, and other rare races are all united under a system of 500,000 Berries per person.
"The price is reasonable."
Wang Zhi raised his head.
"I usually charge human trafficking companies around this price, but what about the price for giants, fish-men, and merfolk? Is it also 50 Berries?"
"No, I don't want those three races."
"why?"
"Too expensive."
Kaido spoke his mind.
"And it's troublesome."
"Giants are easily viewed with hostility by Elbaf."
"Fishmen and mermaids are more likely to escape."
“I’m taking them to the Dragon Kingdom to make them citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, not to make them slaves. I will not restrict their personal freedom.”
"So instead of constantly guarding against their escape, we might as well get rid of them all."
"Of course, if you can find those ancient giants who are sixty or seventy meters tall, I'll take them."
"They're not very bright, they're easy to fool, and the giants don't like them anymore. I can give you at least 6000 million Berries for each of them!"
"Aside from them, based on the prices on the list, my Dragon Kingdom and I could collect 1000 million people, which isn't much, and 800 million people would be considered too few!"
Kaido stared intently at Wang Zhi.
"Give me an answer, whether you'll answer or not!"
Wang Zhi didn't immediately agree to Kaido's request either. Instead, he put the half-burnt cigar into his mouth and took another deep drag.
"If I remember correctly, there are many islands in the New World where people struggle to even get enough to eat. Why don't you go and capture them in batches?"
"I find it troublesome and a waste of time, and it's also easy for Sengoku, Garp, Shiki, Roger and those guys to cause trouble."
Kaido said frankly:
"Besides, I'm about to become the king of a member state of the World Government, so I can't let this dirty work tarnish my reputation!"
"I'll entrust this to you, you'll take care of all the trouble, I just need to pay you, and I can fly to your Beehive Island regularly. Why not?"
Wang Zhi smiled with narrowed eyes, "Looks like you have quite a bit of cash on hand right now?"
Kaido smiled smugly, "I've robbed the treasuries of two kingdoms. I can easily come up with several billion, if not a lot."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi slammed his hand on the table.
"No problem! I'll take your business!!"
"Hmm...that's right!!"
Both parties stood up from their seats, high-fived as a pledge, and thus finalized the business agreement.
Then, the two had a detailed discussion about all the details of the business.
An hour later.
After the discussion was completed, Wang Zhi clapped his hands.
A large group of young and beautiful girls, but with collars around their necks and shackles on their hands and feet, were driven in by several pirates.
Wang Zhi chuckled and said, "It's getting late today. If Brother Kaido were to go back now, it would seem like I haven't been a good host."
"We'll stay here tonight!"
"Don't worry, I know you're a germaphobe. None of these girls have been touched. They're all virgins. Pick and choose as many as you want. You can play with as many as you like, and you can take them away without any problem!"
Consider it a free gift with your order from my brother!
After saying that, he seemed to finally realize something and whispered in Kaido's ear, "Linlin won't have any objections, will she?"
"Ugh, she can't control me!"
Charlotte Linlin is even hoping that Kaido will find a few more sisters to help her take on some of the firepower.
The Azure Dragon Fruit is incredibly powerful; its boost to health and stamina far outweighs its defensive capabilities.
Charlotte Linlin's main strength lies in her physical defense; her health is far inferior to Kaido's.
Wang Zhi chuckled, completely relieved, and gestured for Kaido to choose freely.
Kaido certainly wouldn't act like a hypocrite or a paragon of virtue at a time like this.
However, he didn't take just any woman.
He scanned the dozen or so slave girls in front of him with both eyes while activating the system's identification function.
White, green, blue... purple!
Among the dozen or so blue, green and white entries, a purple one stands out from the crowd!
Kaido stared intently.
This is a short but curvaceous, furry girl with an amazing figure.
It is 1.5 meters tall, its whole body is covered with snow-white fur, and it has a pair of rabbit ears on its head. You can't see its toes when you look down.
Kaido shrunk his height to about two meters and slowly walked up to her.
He reached out and gently lifted her chin.
"His face is quite good-looking..."
Looking at this rabbit face, its eyes are so big and watery, they seem to be able to speak.
Kaido couldn't help but have some doubts.
Could this girl be the mother or grandmother of the Straw Hat crew's rabbit?
Before Kaido could figure it out, the white rabbit girl bit his finger.
then……
She almost broke her teeth.
She covered her mouth with her hand in pain, squatted down in a wronged manner, and tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes.
"Uro ro ro ro..."
Kaido scooped up the adorable little girl, turned to Wang Zhi, and smiled, "She's the one!"
"But you should keep the other girls for me too. Take them back with you when you leave. They can be given as rewards to the newly recruited subordinates."
Wang Zhi laughed heartily, "No problem!!"
