I'm a pirate

It took a full month for Carlos to completely secure his position as godfather, and the other four mafia families also recognized Carlos' position, recognizing the Lucifer family as one of the five mafias of the West Sea, replacing the John family.

Although it was the weakest of the five mafia families, the once John family was in third place.

Carlos didn't care, the weakest was the weakest, and the weakest was normal, after all, the John family he replaced had gone through so much turmoil, how could he have a chance if it wasn't chaotic?

Let them have their way for a while, and then when the time is right, he'll strike at them, unifying the West Sea Mafia in one fell swoop and becoming the sole Godfather!

Carlos figured that just being strong wasn't enough, he had to have strong enough helpers, otherwise he would have to do everything himself.

Although the strength under his command had increased considerably, it wasn't enough, most of his men were not qualified to travel with him on the Great Voyage, and had very limited potential.

The minions were enough, but those who could serve as crew were few and far between, and naturally not everyone could be on his ship.

Those who were not strong enough stayed in the Western Sea to develop power for him, and when he had a firm foothold in the New World, he would transfer the various resources of the Western Sea to the New World.

Carlos's search for qualified crew members became more urgent, but was held back for the time being.

He needed time to improve his strength, and although he was at the top of the West Sea, the New World wasn't quite good enough for the great voyage of the powerful.

When he improved his strength again, he would start looking for crew members and recruiting them, he really couldn't find the right ones, the right eyes, he might have to learn Blackbeard.

Carlos sat firmly in the position of the godfather, his reputation for also initially spread throughout the West Sea, making many people know that the south of the West Sea, the godfather changed people.

Having reached this point, Carlos' funds were also placed in the hands of some large powers, such as the very few kingdoms of the Western Sea, large chambers of commerce, some of the powers of the Great Voyage, the naval headquarters, and the world government's spy agency.

Although Carlos didn't have a bounty, he was a group of people that the various powers focused on, mobsters, powerful and influential, and if he really wanted to make trouble, he would make a lot of noise .

For example, taking the Naval Headquarters as an example, if Carlos wanted to become a pirate on a whim, then he would soon be able to pull together a huge band of pirates and give the West Sea Navy a huge amount of pressure.

Having come to this point, Carlos was no longer so anonymous.

Unlike in the past when he was the boss of that acre of land in Iron Island, seemingly making a name for himself, in reality, the vast majority of the forces, not to mention paying attention to him, did not take him into account at all.

Because of the lack of qualifications to be placed in the eye, you can make trouble, nowadays it's different, the Lucifer family's various actions are watched by forces from all sides to see if they have value.

It wasn't as convenient as before, but at least the compulsion had been raised, so it was a gain and a loss.

Chapter 69 - The Golden Lion's Gift

After it took about a month for Carlos to essentially replace the John family and take the Godfather's seat, the Golden Lion sent a whole bunch of stuff through the black market connections he controlled under his command to show his gratitude to Carlos.

The first was a batch of fine arms, mainly swords, pistols, long guns, rocket launchers, bullets, and shells were countless.

This batch of armaments went down, enough to equip two thousand men, all a generous gift.

The arms were all very expensive, especially on the black market, and the most common sword would cost over 100,000 Bailey, a short gun 200,000 Bailey, and a long gun 250,000 Bailey or more.

The members under the Mafia were able to use guns because they were financially strong and had the trait of black business and politics in one, and as such, the arms were not entirely purchased through the black market, nor could all members be equipped with guns.

Take Carlos to replace the Mike family, for example, only one-third of their guns are equipped through the black market, two-thirds are purchased through the intricate network of relationships, Mike family itself is also an arms dealer, small arms dealer, and finally, but also to strengthen their own financial reserves.

So don't look at the world of the pirate king, although all kinds of sword heroes, physical skills, demon fruit abilities and so on, guns are not cheap, many forces, including some kingdoms have not been able to all become firearms troops, too expensive, can not afford to use.

Most of the mafia families are secretly engaged in the arms business, the five families are the main arms dealers in the West Sea, but compared to the Great Voyage, the New World, at best they can hold up medium-sized arms dealers.

The arms and ammunition sent by the Golden Lion this time were worth more than a billion Bailey.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and although the forces under the Golden Lion's command are greatly damaged, they are still the top forces in the New World, and the gift is also an incomparably atmospheric one.

In addition to the arms that Carlos had not expected, it was the things that the Golden Lion had promised Carlos.

Carlos made contact with the golden lion, will be able to use the golden lion mastered channels, relationships, from now on, as long as Carlos needs supplies, can get through various channels, do not have to worry about the shortage of goods, have a stable supply of goods.

In addition to the obvious kings of this world, there are also kings of darkness, they engage in all kinds of tyrannical, dark business, in order to benefit, they dare to do anything, the new world market is even more crucial.

Like the golden lion, white bearded overlord, is the king of the dark world no matter how to get around the threshold, want to do business, do not get through the relationship is not how to do it!

The last thing was some of the secret techniques of physical arts collected by the Golden Lion, and Carlos looked at them, there were eleven secret techniques in total.

Secret techniques, secret skills, as the name implied, were things that were never easily taught and were not often revealed to the public.

For example, the Fist of the King of Dres Rosa King Riku's good friend, King Eleazabello II of the Kingdom of Prodens, could break the enemy's fortress with just one punch, and legend had it that hitting the four kings, the four kings could not even be spared.

Of course, the second one was a bit ridiculous, but it was also a top secret technique.

There were powerful and weak secret techniques, and the top ones were all considered top secret techniques except for the ones mentioned above, Human Demon Fist, Fishman Karate, and Navy Six.

The secret techniques that could be collected by the Golden Lion weren't simple goods either, and were mainly sword arts and body arts.

The secret skills are not everyone can practice, there are various restrictions, some have race, bloodline restrictions, such as the fisherman karate, human demon fist method, hehehehe!

The Human Demon Fist Technique was only as powerful as a human demon could make it.

Carlos stayed in the castle, looking over the secret techniques sent to him by the Golden Lion, his face unabashed with joy.

Some of these secret techniques he could cultivate, some he couldn't, but they were all useful, and at the very least, he could comprehend them and incorporate them into his own fighting system.

Yan Blowing Snow, this is a sword dao secret technique, that is, a special kind of sword technique, the effect is similar to the combination of Juihe Zhan and Instant Zhan, able to instantly cut out a cold and fierce sword Qi, the sword is not out of its sheath, killing intent and chilling intent has already acted on the target, the double blow of spiritual will and physical body causing the body to stiffen and react slowly, it's remarkable!

Although Carlos didn't practice the Dao of the Sword, he was able to learn from the principles of Yan Blowing Snow, and carefully ponder and study it may not be impossible to turn it into his own use.

Carlos was a rather greedy person, especially in his own strength, physical skills, dominance, demonic fruit abilities, he wanted them all!

If Yan Blowing Snow could not practice it, there were some Body Technique Secret Techniques that were necessary to practice, and when combined with one's own martial arts skills, they could make Carlos' physical strength even higher.

For example, this physical technique called Spider's Web, which was a special power control technique that could spread one's strength including dominance to the surroundings like a spider's web.

The effect was similar to the move Saber used to destroy the ring in the dueling arena with the Dragon Claw Fist.

The more Carlos watched, the more excited he became, and the idea of closing the door to cultivate became stronger and stronger in his mind.

Sharpening knives, thick and thin, these were the words that Carlos used to like very much.

Although it wasn't impossible for him to unify the West Sea Mafia with his current strength and power, Carlos didn't want to do it for the time being.

If you don't do it, if you want to do it, you have to subdue the other four mafia families with a thunderous force, and say something mean in your domination.

Those who obey me may not prosper, those who oppose me will surely perish!

Unifying the Western Sea Mafia and becoming the super leader of the Western Sea was just the beginning, there were even more challenging territories waiting for him to set foot in.

One song without a song, that was what Carlos demanded of himself, whether it was in the West Sea, the Great Voyage, the New World, or the entire world, it was the same!

Just like his sudden replacement of John's family, making his Lucifer family one of the top five mafias, the same.

And all of this is backed by its own strength, and only its own strength is most trustworthy!

It wasn't his style to venture into the world, and Carlos didn't think he was one of those Luffy guys, where it was commonplace to win with the weak and present the good at every turn.
