Temporary Municipal Building Conference Room.
Crocodile, who came to meet the four Underworld emperors on behalf of Akira, truly felt the joy that power brings. Especially when he made various "reasonable" requests to the four people according to the plan given to him by Akira, the four people's expressions were wonderful.
Although he had once been Shichibukai and had challenged World's Strongest Man Whitebeard Newgate, to be fair, he could not easily shake any of the four emperors of the lower world in front of him, let alone "give orders" to the four of them as the leader.
Putting aside Morgans and News King, even Queen of the Pleasure District Stussy seems to be a weak and weak woman, but she has an intelligence network that is beyond his reach, and her relationship network is spread all over New World and even the entire Grand Line.
As for Gibson and Duffield, they are not the ones he can easily offend. Especially Duffield, not only is Underworld the well-deserved financial emperor, but he also has close ties with such as At that time, Vinsmoke Family, who was feared in Beihai, and led Germa Kingdom, and Celestial Dragons, who was aloof from Holy Land, maintained close ties with each other.
If not for Akira The emergence of Marshal, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were not executed neatly by Akira, he and these Underworld When the emperors of E meet, they will definitely not dare to shout out "Good afternoon Underworld scum" easily. They will definitely talk to them very politely without breaking their faces.
However, at this time, these emperors who he once did not dare to offend easily were like obedient babies.
Especially Duffield, the Grand Line financial emperor who believes that money is power, actually took the initiative to bring all his asset transfer agreements, which made Akira who originally wanted to learn The way Marshal put extreme pressure on Doflamingo in Marine Headquarters also taught these Underworld emperors a lesson.
"Since no one has any objections to the content of this meeting, the first half of the meeting is over."
Crocodile handed all the asset transfer agreements brought by Duffield to the secretary beside him, and then said, "Mr. Duffield is very generous. Knowing that the navy has recently launched frequent raids against evil forces and the losses are huge, he took the initiative to send you warmth. For this, on behalf of Lord Marshal and all the navy, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Duffield!"
"Of course, our gratitude is not as simple as one sentence!"
"As a thank you, I decided to invite Mr. Duffield to settle in Wano Country. Akira Marshal said that Mr. Duffield is a very outstanding financial genius and must be entrusted with important responsibilities."
Having said this, Crocodile took out a contract that had been drawn up long ago and pushed it in front of Duffield, "As long as Mr. Duffield signs this contract, from now on Wano Country's financial industry will be fully responsible for you. Of course, it cannot be the way of loan sharking, but it must be based on the premise of promoting the future development of Wano Country and building a sustainable development financial market in Wano Country."
"Once Wano Country is successfully implemented, this financial system will be used all over the world."
Hearing this, Duffield's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, their guess was right. As long as they showed enough sincerity to offer their loyalty to Navy Marshal, not only would they not die, but they would also be reused by Navy Marshal just like the great pirates Crocodile and Doflamingo.
Thinking of this, Duffield couldn't wait to open the contract and read it. When he saw a line of large characters that came into view, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Credit Union?"
"Yes," Crocodile nodded and said with slightly narrowed eyes, "This is an urban cooperative financial institution proposed by Akira Marshal. It is an urban cooperative financial institution that is composed of members as shareholders, implements democratic management, and provides financial services to members."
Duffield said no more, because this contract clearly spelled out the overall framework of the credit union as well as its future market development and longer-term plans.
Although he did not see anything beneficial to him from beginning to end, he knew very well that once this system was launched in Grand Line and covered Four Blues countries, the rewards it would bring to him would be what he could not expect before, and he would be an upright financial godfather walking in the sun.
"I really didn't expect that Akira Marshal actually knows so much about the financial market!"
After reading all the contents of the contract, Duffield stood up excitedly, "I thought that when I came to Wano Country this time, I would fall from the altar, but I didn't expect that Akira Marshal gave me such a great task!"
"I've signed this contract!"
With that said, Duffield immediately picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract with flying colors.
"Crocodile, where are we?"
Taking this opportunity, Gibson looked at Morgans beside him, then at Stussy who was elegantly smoking a lady's cigarette, and finally focused on Crocodile, "I can also dedicate all the warehousing industry to Akira Marshal, but I don't want to retire just now, I hope Akira Marshal Give me a chance too!"
Before Crocodile could speak, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the conference room door.
"Lord Marshal is here!"
"Stand at attention!"
"Salute!"
"Loyal!"
Hearing the sudden sound from outside the door, Crocodile immediately stood up and faced the conference room door without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Gibson, Duffield, Morgans and Stussy did not dare to neglect and stood up one after another.
At the same time, the closed door of the conference room was pushed open, and Akira, Gion and Perona filed in.
Akira, who walked into the conference room, ignored the four Underworld emperors and went straight to the top of the conference table.
Crocodile moved a step to the left sensibly and straightened the chair at the same time.
Akira smiled and nodded to Crocodile, then took off his Marshal coat and handed it to Gion, and sat down.
Gion, who took over Akira Marshal's coat, did not sit down, but stood side by side with Perona on the right side of Akira, holding the coat in his arms.
Looking at the young Marshal figure who didn't pause at all from entering the conference room to sitting down, the four Underworld emperors standing upright could not help but feel their heartstrings tighten, and even their breathing slowed down a lot.
It's not that they have always been like this, but the sense of oppression brought by this young Marshal is too strong. Even if Akira just walked into the conference room normally and sat down, without showing off his domineering aura in the middle, they could not help but have their hearts beat faster. Duffield and Gibson were even more nervous, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on their foreheads.
It's better to meet him than to be famous!
Morgans, whose heart strings were also tense because Akira suddenly walked into the conference room, took this opportunity to roll his eyes and take a peek at the figure sitting at the top of the conference table, secretly exclaiming in surprise in his heart.
Crocodile, who has a strong aura, stood respectfully on the left side, and Admiral Gion personally held his coat and stood on the right side. From the beginning to the end, no words or unnecessary movements were needed. Just sitting there, the natural aura of the king made them unable to lift their heads.
Based on this alone, this young Navy Marshal deserves the name Navy King.
