Chapter 33 Permanent Pointer and Rebecca
Chapter 33 Permanent Pointer and Rebecca
Luo Ji was very satisfied and put a large box of permanent pointers into the storage scroll.
According to his understanding, most of the countries or island rulers who came to Dressrosa to do business would sell their island's permanent pointers and make a little money in the process.
Of course, the most important thing is to attract more business people, wealthy people, and tourists to spend money on their islands.
Otherwise, with the record pointer that only allows landing on one island at a time, there wouldn't be much visitor traffic throughout the year.
The Don Quixote family, the most powerful brokerage emperor, would certainly not let this business pass them by.
They also have dedicated personnel who acquire these permanent pointers, creating the most comprehensive dark shop for permanent pointers.
To be honest, Luo Ji is very satisfied with this integrated trading market.
It has undoubtedly promoted trade and cultural exchange throughout the world.
If Doflamingo had a modern business mind, he would be the boss of all kinds of platforms, such as Taobao, Pinduoduo, and express delivery... all of which would be the businesses of this intermediary emperor.
He is an absolute business genius.
If he were to build all these business platforms, even if he only took a cut, he would earn countless amounts of money every year.
He might surpass Tesoro, the world's richest man, and become the richest man of the new era.
Dark Emperor Umit, the King of Shipping, monopolizes a large amount of shipping business, making him a true shipping tycoon, equivalent to a major express delivery company on Earth.
"No wonder they've been pirate overlords for decades and dark giants for centuries. With this kind of monopolistic business, it's impossible not to get rich."
With the permanent pointer retracted, he felt very relaxed. Now, even if they caused a huge disturbance in Dressrosa, they could leave at any time.
"Luo Ji, when are we going to Fishman Island and Sky Island?"
Yamato's eyes lit up. She bought several extra permanent pointers and kept staring at the pointers pointing in specific directions.
This is the island she most wants to go on an adventure to.
"Don't rush, what you enjoy when you're sailing on the high seas is the unique islands and interesting creatures you encounter along the way."
Luo Ji then purchased some rare foods and left the underground dark market with the two women.
After all, the main trade there is in various weapons and war materials.
Luo Ji also looted a batch of various weapons produced by the weapons factory in Wano Country, so he has no shortage of these things.
Luo Ji even dared to say that Doflamingo's Seastone weapons were not as numerous as his.
Back on the Passion Avenue in Dressrosa, Luo Ji and the two women continued to enjoy the food and buy a lot of clothes.
These outfits can be used as inspiration and inspiration for your own style.
After all, clothing created using the power of the Otome-Otome Fruit will revert to its original state once it is taken off or damaged.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Dressrosa Colosseum and heard enthusiastic cheers from inside.
Yamato really wanted to go in and watch, so Luo Ji immediately bought tickets and went in.
Looking at the pedestrians and spectators here, many of them are accompanied by a toy pet or toy servant.
Remembering Luo Ji's words, Yamato and Tama felt that these toys were particularly strange.
Along the way, they also saw shops that specialized in selling toys. How was that any different from selling toys to humans?
In the arena stands, Luo Ji and his two companions watched the contestants battling it out on the battlefield, listening to the exhilarating shouts all around them.
"Luo Ji! That commentary was so interesting! That painted-face man sitting on the high platform seems pretty strong, almost as strong as a real fighter from the Beasts Pirates."
As Yamato listened to the roaring commentary, his Observation Haki detected Diamante, the spectator.
As the Donquixote Family's official money-making arena, Doflamingo dispatched Diamante, the highest-ranking officer of the Square Army, to guard the arena.
After all, powerful pirates often appear among the participants.
In gladiatorial matches, you only need to stand to the end in each arena to receive a sum of money.
The prize money is even more generous if you reach the semi-finals or win the championship.
The Don Quixote family made a fortune by collecting ticket money from the audience in the arena and running an off-the-ground betting operation.
Some of the defeated contestants were simply thrown to sugar to become toys, or used as transport toys in the underground market, or sold as pet toys in stores.
They only need to set aside a small portion of the money as prize money to continuously attract pirates and powerful individuals to participate in the competition.
···
Yamato, who lives on Onigashima, is already used to the Beasts Pirates' rule of rising to power through fighting.
She felt no discomfort whatsoever in this life-or-death struggle.
Tama grew up in the impoverished village of Umi-ga, where people often lacked food and clothing. She had also witnessed the brutality and ruthlessness of the Beasts Pirates, so she could accept this kind of gladiatorial combat.
Amidst jeers, a sexy girl wearing a warrior's golden helmet always manages to dodge enemy attacks in the arena, repeatedly escaping danger at the edge of the arena.
As time went by, the number of people in the D-shaped arena where she was located dwindled.
The longer the girl persisted, the louder the boos from the audience became.
"You despicable remnants of the royal family, just die already!"
"All the descendants of King Riku deserve to die!"
"You little bitch! Get out of Dressrosa!"
···
Amidst the insults and abuse from the audience, the female warriors on the field remained unmoved, as if they were already used to it.
Who is that woman?
Yamato immediately became interested; how could so many people be insulting this girl who was fighting so hard?
This girl looked like she could be defeated at any moment, but she dodged fatal attacks time and time again, seemingly having awakened Observation Haki.
"That older sister is so pitiful."
Xiaoyu felt a surge of sympathy; being disliked by so many people must be very painful.
"She's pitiful? She's the granddaughter of a cruel king, she deserves it!"
"If Violet hadn't joined Lord Doflamingo's ranks, she would have been killed long ago!"
The two spectators from Dressrosa next to her suddenly turned around, glared angrily at Xiaoyu, and shouted, which startled her.
"You dare to yell at my members? Looks like you deserve to be taken down."
Luo Ji glanced at the two guys expressionlessly, then swung his fist, and the two of them collapsed onto their seats, blood spurting from their mouths and noses, their eyes rolling back.
"You dare to hit someone?"
"Ok?"
The audience members around him were about to hurl insults at Luo Ji, but were intimidated by a single look from him.
It was as if if they dared to speak again, they would follow in the footsteps of those two.
Amidst the sounds of swallowing hard, the spectators pretended to continue watching the match, ignoring the two guys who were being beaten senseless.
Amidst boos from countless spectators, the girl actually made it to the end and earned the right to win the prize money.
As the match concluded, Luo Ji and his two companions left the arena.
"Yet another princess of a kingdom."
Luo Ji chuckled lightly. If a girl burdened with national and personal vendettas could seize the opportunity, Luo Ji wouldn't mind giving her a hand.
Rebecca, as the daughter of Cyrus, the strongest gladiator with 3,000 matches, is also suspected of having awakened Observation Haki, which is quite a talent.
However, she carries too much on her shoulders, making her somewhat unsuitable to be a member of the Luo Ji Pirates.
Luo Ji preferred crew members like Xiao Yu and Robin, who were orphans and had no ties to them.
