The Black Throne of One Piece

　　What's the requirement?

　　 When Gilbert hesitated, Barr was actually thinking about what benefits would he get from Gilbert, because he was very convinced that Gilbert would choose his suggestion.

　　 As expected, Gilbert agreed.

　　Then next is the time for him to open his mouth.

　　Barr just asked himself what time is missing now? Two things popped out of my mind at once, money and talents.

　　 Money is really the more the better.

　　 Although he had just used the transparent man vest to successfully blackmail two billion Baileys from Gilbert, he really used the aspect of expanding power, and it was probably gone all of a sudden.

　　 This is especially true for talents.

The chances of usable talents being born in the slums are still very low. During this period, he did receive a lot of fairly good subordinates, but none of them were as literate and martial as Buffina. They were all big bosses, no Many people who are literate basically rely on force to solve problems.

　　 Therefore, he had to recruit some clerks with little combat effectiveness to deal with matters in the site.

　　 even prepares to personally cultivate a group of talents who are intelligent, armed, and loyal to the organization.

However, for these two things, Barr can be solved by his own power for the time being. It is not the best choice at the moment. So after thinking about it, he decided to take one from Gilbert this time and only his prince can bestow it. Precious treasures.

　　 This treasure is a territory, a legal territory.

　　 "What! You want Rock Island."

　　 In the castle of the city lord, Gilbert said solemnly.

　　 Rock Island, this is a small island with an area of ​​only a few thousand square kilometers near Magnetic Drum Island. It can be reached in about half a day from the port of Vilia.

　　Like the Drum Kingdom, Rock Island is also a winter island. Apart from the frigid forests and some beasts, there are no useful resources on it.

Although this island is still the territory of the Drum Kingdom, it has long existed since the era of the Great Pirates. Because it is isolated overseas, it is difficult to get the official protection of the Drum Kingdom. Now it has become a paradise for the pirates. A piece of nowhere.

　　 "Yes, I want this island, and I hope Mr. Gilbert can cut love."

　　Barr replied in an affirmative tone.

"It has been occupied by pirates a long time ago. What are you going to do? If you want, you can simply grab it from the pirates. It shouldn't be difficult with your current strength." Gilbert said coldly. .

　　 Even though Rock Island has now become an impossible zone beyond his jurisdiction, and it is not too valuable an island, it is still his territory in name.

　　 As a royal family, Gilbert has a very strong sense of territory. He will never do anything like ceding territory unless he has to.

　　 Grab it?

　　 Such a simple and rude way of doing things, Barr has certainly thought about it, but he knows very well that this kind of directly grabbed island cannot be regarded as his own territory, at least not now.

　　Because of the lack of a layer of skin, a layer of skin enough to prevent the navy from coming to crusade on its own initiative.

Rock Island was occupied by pirates for a long time not a day or two. Because of its very good geographical location and close to the main sea channel, many ambitious pirate groups wanted to build their own bases here, and then use this to build their own bases. The influence radiated to the surroundings, but the ultimate fate was to be surrounded and defeated by the navy that heard the news.

　　According to the meaning of the navy, pirates are allowed to become a group of stray dogs at sea, but they want to make a pee enclosure, which is absolutely not allowed.

　　 Although Barr is not a pirate, he is a gang member now, and he is also not a good person in the eyes of the Navy.

　　 If he had not been recognized by Gilbert for ceding Rock Island, even if he succeeded in occupying Rock Island, he would definitely attract the navy's annihilation.

"After all, what was snatched was a bad name, unpleasant, unpleasant, that's why Mr. Gilbert is required to cut love, Mr. Gilbert, you won't be reluctant, you said just now, this island has long been lost to the sea. The thieves have taken possession of it, and you have not cared about this island over the years, so you shouldn’t be reluctant to bear it.”

　　 So, when Barr heard Gilbert's words, he immediately said in a puzzled tone.

Gilbert apparently did not shake his decision not to cede the territory because Barr said that he didn't care about Rock Island. He directly refused with a strong tone: "Huh, let’s not talk about these useless things, such as cede territories. I, Gilbert, will never do it. Besides, you are not even a nobleman. You are not qualified to legally acquire territory. Let's change something else."

"I didn't expect this selfish old guy to have this kind of persistence. I thought he would obediently agree to it. Besides, this guy is really influenced by the culture of the Tianlong people. He has a strong class consciousness. In his bones, he must not allow civilians to have it. Territory, sure enough, if you want to truly obtain territory, you still have to go through formal channels."

　　 Barr saw this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he looked at the phone worm in front of him coldly, cursing inwardly.

　　 But he did not choose to give up, using silence to release the pressure on Gilbert.

In this transaction, he is not the weaker party~www.NovelMTL.com~ Gilbert is. He must appropriately put pressure on Gilbert and make it easier for the other party to accept his new offer. Condition.

　　 As Gilbert refused Barr's request, Barr also remained silent. For a while, the atmosphere of the dialogue between the two parties quickly became serious.

　　 Gradually, one minute and one second passed, and neither side continued to speak. They were obviously using silence to express their unshakable decision. This transaction seemed to end in unhappy ending.

　　 "Well, Mr. Gilbert, if you win, Rock Island doesn't give it. It's no big deal. Listen to you. Let me change your request. I hope you won't refuse me again."

　　 Barr felt that the pressure on Gilbert was almost enough, so he took the initiative to give up and said in a somewhat helpless tone.

　　 Seeing Barr retreat, Gilbert breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. To be honest, he was almost discouraged because he couldn't stand the pressure.

　　 After all, asking Barr to help this matter is related to his wealth and life. If he insists on ruining his own life because of his temporary willfulness, it is definitely a blood loss.

　　Thinking about it now, he is a little bit scared, feeling that his persistence is a bit silly, and his life is gone, then there is really nothing, an island is nothing.

　　 "As long as it is not for me to cede the territory, what conditions, you can say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse you."

　　 Because of Barr's voluntary concession, Gilbert is in a good mood now, and immediately promised with a smile.

Hearing this, Barr suddenly showed a smile on his face, and then slowly stated his new terms: "Then I'm welcome, Lord City Lord, since you are unwilling to transfer the ownership of Rock Island to me, please You can lease Rock Island to me temporarily. I have not leased it for a long time, it is only ten years."
