Selling Door to Door
Beehive Island.
Goodbye, Uncle Ochoku!
Roa waved goodbye to Ochoku Zhiyi as a final farewell.
The Snail Fleet roared and surged away from Beehive Island, aimlessly heading towards some part of the New World.
Gazing at the receding silhouette of the large fleet, Ochoku stroked his chin.
What will Roa do next?
The entire New World is gradually becoming restless, although the monsters inhabiting this sea area will not cause him any trouble.
But since he considers himself a businessman, what should he do when all the markets start to boycott him?
That's something to look forward to!
In the palace at the center of the departing Snail Fleet.
Roa leaned lazily against the throne, toying with a knife in his hand.
This is Enma, the treasured sword that he fought alongside against top-tier fighters such as Golden Lion, Roger, and Whitebeard.
However, this sword became useless after Roa mastered Conqueror's Haki's Entanglement.
Aside from the fact that it can directly convert Conqueror's Haki, Enma's role is to absorb Haki and unleash powerful slashes, but in this aspect, it is completely outclassed by Tiger Soul.
After absorbing the Haki, the Tiger Soul releases a much more powerful Blood Qi energy.
Since it's already a useless item for me, I'll give it to someone who needs it.
Roa raised his head and casually tossed the knife in his hand away.
"Doflamingo, this knife is for you."
Doflamingo below caught the flying Famous Sword with a bewildered expression.
"For me?"
I don't even need a knife!
Roa said earnestly, "Enma can absorb Haki and transform it into powerful slashes."
"It can even absorb Conqueror's Haki, thus allowing it to use attacks imbued with Conqueror's Haki even without mastering Conqueror's Haki Entanglement technique."
Bullet is definitely qualified to master Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, and since he doesn't use a sword, he doesn't need to.
Abel doesn't have Conqueror's Haki, and she already has Ame no Habakiri, so she doesn't need it.
Only Doflamingo, if he wants to master Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, Roa probably has a hard time doing so.
Since we're already focused on gear, one more piece of equipment won't make a difference.
"Since you're not good at swordsmanship, then use your ability to change Enma's form."
"Gloves or shoes, use whatever's convenient for you," Roa said.
Doflamingo's eyes lit up instantly.
Yes!
You can do it like that!
"Fufufufu! Then I won't be polite!"
Doflamingo immediately grinned.
He will certainly learn how to use Conqueror's Haki in the future.
But he's still too young, and this technique is too far beyond his reach.
So, let's try it out with this knife for now!
Thinking this, Doflamingo drew Enma.
Then.
"Wow!!"
His right arm visibly withered instantly.
This withering was rapidly spreading from his shoulders toward his body.
Doflamingo screamed in terror, "Boss! Help me!"
Standing next to Doflamingo, Bege grinned at the guy's disheveled appearance.
I thought this guy had acquired some amazing weapon, but it turns out to be a double-edged sword!
"It seems you're not qualified yet."
Roa was not surprised.
Enma was tamed like a puppy in his hands, but that doesn't mean Doflamingo could do the same.
With a casual flick of his index finger, the surging domineering Haki, guided by his willpower, transformed into a marble that struck Enma's blade directly.
"Ugh!"
Enma clattered to the ground, Doflamingo staggered backward, his face filled with terror.
He couldn't help but look down at his right arm, which was now withered and shriveled like a piece of wood.
"Don't worry,"
Roa casually replied, "It'll be fine in a few days."
What could Doflamingo say?
He could only force a dry laugh and look down at the demonic sword on the ground that had almost taken his life.
"Boss..."
Or maybe we should just forget about it?
But.
"You need to tame it soon, Doflamingo,"
Roa said earnestly, "Don't let me down."
"Yes, Boss."
Doflamingo forced a smile and nodded vigorously.
You have no choice but to accept it, even if you don't want it.
Damn it!
He knew what the consequences would be for disappointing Roa.
Moria, who had been observing the whole thing, was astonished by something else.
The demonic sword, capable of draining a person dry in an instant, became as docile as a kitten in Roa's hands.
Now, he doesn't even need this knife anymore. Just how strong has this guy become?
Moria, who had been inside Bege's stomach the whole time and hadn't been able to witness Roa's fight against Whitebeard, sighed inwardly.
"Boss,"
At this moment, Dylan spoke up, "We've received word from Umit that many countries in the New World have tightened their screening processes, making it more difficult to transport weapons into those countries."
"That's a bit annoying."
Roa tugged at his collar. "They won't even let us do honest business. Isn't this bullying honest people?"
"Um,"
He thought for a moment, "It's also possible that they don't yet know just how good our product is."
"Let's find an opportunity to go door-to-door and promote it, and try to open up the closed sales channels in one go."
Yes, Morgans mentioned when he reported on the New World's movements that some non-governmental Affiliated Nation of the New World wanted to unite against him.
This is unbearable; the bloodline of retaliation within me has awakened.
I have no idea what they're trying to resist; I'm not their enemy at all.
However, this is actually a great opportunity to showcase our products.
In that case...
The New World, the Rikoum Kingdom.
This country is one of the many non -World Government Member States in the world.
Like most non- Affiliated Nation, this country is also resource-poor, economically backward, and its people suffer from poverty.
However, compared to typical non- Affiliated Nation, this country has a significant advantage.
It has a fairly powerful army.
The Rikoum Kingdom has always been referred to as a barbarian nation by other countries.
The people living in this country are savage and brutal.
Furthermore, the island is home to many powerful and ferocious beasts, and the army of the Rikoum Kingdom has mastered a special method for taming these wild animals.
Therefore, they formed a special beast cavalry force, which was virtually invincible in the surrounding seas.
Thanks to this powerful army, even pirates rarely bother this country.
After all, they were quite strong, but also extremely poor, so the effort they put in was completely disproportionate to the reward they received.
On the contrary, this country itself frequently sends troops out to sea to plunder in order to maintain its livelihood.
At this time, after Roa's secret was revealed, this country became the vanguard of the anti-Roya movement.
Although no rebellion broke out in their country, this did not prevent the king of this country from eagerly inviting many non- Affiliated Nation to come and discuss countermeasures.
This is an opportunity!
In the dilapidated palace, a man wearing only a skirt armor and a cloak, his muscular upper body bare, shouted loudly.
"That damned World Government keeps hindering communication between nations! Economic and cultural exchange is impossible; it's dividing the world into isolated islands!"
"This is a great opportunity! If it were aimed at Roa, the World Government wouldn't just not organize it, they might even encourage it!"
"If we can seize this opportunity to form alliances with other countries, our nation will surely experience rapid development!"
Most countries in the world are too small, and it is very difficult for them to develop on their own. However, if they can exchange resources with other countries, it will be a completely different story!
The burly king's face was filled with longing.
He seemed to have already foreseen a prosperous and thriving future for the country under his leadership!
As for the anti- Roa?
Let whoever wants to oppose it oppose it; he's just using this name as a pretext.
He dared not be an enemy of Roa, but he harbored great ambitions to develop his country under the guise of opposing Roa!
He had no interest in making an enemy of Roa, whose bounty was three billion and whose hidden power was unknown.
At most, we should just clean up the domestic situation properly and prevent any sparks of rebellion from igniting within our own country.
At this moment.
"Your Majesty! The kings have arrived!"
A burly soldier rushed in to report, "We're at the port now!"
"Good!"
The burly king immediately beamed with joy, "Form the ranks immediately and go greet them!"
Soon after, at the equally dilapidated port of this country...
The kings who had traveled from afar witnessed the military strength of this country for the first time.
The massive beasts stood like statues on both sides of the road, each flanked by a burly warrior wielding a spear or Fire Pistol.
This scene left the kings speechless.
Leaving aside the fierce tigers, lions, and cheetahs, the quality of these soldiers is far beyond what their country's army can match, both in terms of physical fitness and training.
Hahaha! Welcome, everyone!
The mighty king arrived riding a white tiger that stood over five meters tall at the shoulders. He was not only the king but also the strongest warrior in the kingdom, hence he rode the most powerful beast.
"Let's go, the grand banquet is ready! Today, we must drink to our hearts' content!"
The kings rode in luxurious carriages pulled by several wild beasts, but despite their luxury, they also exuded a rugged style.
Through the carriage windows, the kings subconsciously observed the country.
Most of the country is grassland, and herding is the mainstay of the country's economy.
On the boundless grasslands on both sides of the road, wild beasts would attack from time to time, and then the warriors of this country would rush directly to them and wrestle with the beasts with their bare hands.
Upon seeing these sights, the kings couldn't help but gasp in shock.
No wonder everyone says the Rikoum Kingdom has a powerful military; with soldiers like these, it's impossible for them not to be strong.
If it's an army like that, perhaps—
The burly king, riding a white tiger, smiled broadly.
Now you've witnessed the power of our nation!
In that case, the alliance negotiations might go much more smoothly.
And just as he had expected, the kings of these countries were very friendly during the ensuing banquet, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
As the wine flowed freely, the burly king raised his arm and shouted, "Gentlemen, Roa and his evil empire are now threatening all nations!"
"Unlike those Affiliated Nation of the World Government, we don't have the help of the navy, so Roa won't have any reservations! If there's going to be destruction, it will definitely start with us!"
Therefore, we should save ourselves!
The towering man clenched his fist. "The strength of a single nation is too weak to resist Roa's encroachment! But if we unite, things will be different!"
"As long as we cooperate sincerely, even Roa— "
Just then, another voice rang out, "Shut up! Do you even deserve to consider the Boss as a hypothetical enemy?"
His voice was cold and icy, carrying a strong sense of annoyance.
The entire banquet hall fell silent instantly.
The kings instinctively turned their heads and saw the man who had appeared in the center of the hall at some unknown time.
After a brief observation, one of the kings had already fallen to the ground in a disheveled state, his arm sweeping across the table, scattering the food in front of him all over the floor.
"This, this guy is... Mercury Barrett!!"
"Mercury Barrett?"
The kings all turned pale with fright.
Roa's right-hand man, a notorious pirate with a bounty approaching 500 million!
This guy actually showed up here!
Could it be--
Upon realizing one possibility, the kings instantly turned ashen-faced, their expressions filled with extreme terror.
"Why are you here! Mercury Barrett!"
The burly king was also sweating profusely. He only wanted to capitalize on the opportunity and didn't really intend to be an enemy of Roa. Why had this happened to him?
"The boss said,"
Bullet calmly stated, "Perhaps the refusal stems from a lack of understanding. We want to give you a chance to learn about our products, so let me come and promote them to you."
Sell?
The kings were taken aback.
This menacing aura, seemingly ready to crush everyone, is actually for selling something?
The burly king's expression changed slightly, then he suddenly broke into a bright smile, completely out of character, "Actually, I've always admired Luo—uh!"
He was speechless.
Bullet, grabbing his neck in one swift motion.
"Our fleet has arrived. Now, send your troops to attack."
The burly king stared blankly.
At the same time, in the country's port, chaos had broken out.
Because, on the sea surface, five Giant Snail are rapidly wading through the water.
"It's the Snail Fleet under Roa's command!"
"Quickly, report to His Majesty the King!"
A mixture of fear and anxiety filled the air as people on the shore shouted.
Doflamingo stood atop the central snail among the five approaching snails.
He was clad in Poneglyph armor, and Bege was also encased in it.
"Fufufufu! In that case, let's say hello first! Bege, are you ready?"
Doflamingo grinned.
Inside Bege's castle, a heavy cannon was already aimed at the port ahead.
Beside the heavy artillery, the man with jet-black eyes, the former World Destroyer Bondi World, stood silently.
"Certainly!"
Bege was equally enthusiastic.
"Fufufufu! Now you can start saying hello!"
Doflamingo laughed, "Fire!"
Bang.
With a very slight, almost imperceptible sound, a projectile the size of a ping-pong ball flew out of Bege's body.
The moment it detached from Doflamingo's solid shell, the billiard ball expanded twice, transforming into a colossal object several meters in diameter in the blink of an eye!
The massive cannonball suddenly pierced the air, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, and crashed into the distant port.
Boom--!!!
In an instant, roaring flames erupted like hellfire, instantly engulfing the entire harbor! The earth-shattering energy ignited a mushroom cloud that blotted out the sky, violently soaring into the heavens, causing even the sea to tremble violently!
"Fufufufu! Product showcase, let's begin!"
Snail Fleet, Land!
