----------

Hachinosu, port.

Groudon raised its sails.

On the shore below, the captains, one by one, wiped away tears, waving goodbye with loud cries.

"Daichi, you must come drink with us again!"

"Hahahahaha, I will!"

Daichi waved goodbye with a laugh.

These were all captains, yet they cried like children at a farewell.

Good, he liked it very much!

"Set sail!"

"Ohh ohh!"

Soon, Hachinosu disappeared from sight.

"Ugh~ ugh~~"

Daichi leaned over the ship's rail, throwing up a rainbow into the sea.

He had long forgotten that he got seasick.

"Who's steering? Can you make it steadier!"

Daichi gave the sea a middle finger, grumbling as he returned to the cabin, wondering if he should change the ship's name to Kyogre, perhaps that would alleviate the seasickness.

No!

How could he accept the protection of a fat-headed fish!

"Daichi!"

Inside the cabin, Ulti and Page One were both there.

They both questioned him with serious expressions: "We've left Hachinosu, now can you tell us why you want to cooperate with Whitebeard?"

They had been bewildered by Daichi's actions and couldn't explain it clearly when reporting to Onigashima.

They completely didn't understand!

Although they knew Daichi really liked buying land and building houses, having been busy with it in Wano Country, but now cooperating with Whitebeard in the name of the Beast Pirates, they had to ask clearly.

Otherwise, how would they explain it to Kaido?

Daichi sat down, resting his hands on the back of the sofa.

"Want to know?"

"Yes!"

They both nodded vigorously.

They felt like fools.

Daichi smiled, knowing he really had to explain properly, otherwise even his own people would be confused, and where would they get the motivation to work in real estate with him?

"The answer is actually simple, just like your previous expeditions to claim territory, I am conducting an expedition in a different form!"

"Huh???"

The siblings tilted their heads simultaneously.

Can you explain it more clearly? How is this like an expedition?

Daichi's expression also became much more serious.

"I ask you, with the power of our Beast Pirates, what is the maximum territory we can occupy in the New World?"

"A quarter?"

Ulti was unsure.

"Not that much."

Daichi shook his head.

The New World's pattern is already fixed; besides the Four Emperors, the Underground Emperors also took a significant share, such as the Happy Street they were heading to now.

The Underground Emperors basically focused on a specific field, growing stronger and stronger, and due to their high specialization, the Four Emperors couldn't interfere, so they had to share the cake.

And the World Government!

There were many islands belonging to the World Government in the New World, and they were all resource-rich islands that the Four Emperors found difficult to contend for.

Then there were some affiliated countries.

The Beast Pirates occupied a large sea area, but they didn't have that many islands; having one-tenth would be good, and those were all poor places that couldn't join the World Government.

Daichi rephrased his question: "Let me test you again, if our Beast Pirates occupied the entire New World, could we defend it?"

"No, we couldn't."

This time, Page One answered.

Compared to his sister, he was not as naive.

Not to mention the endless stream of newcomers, even just considering the pirates within the New World, it would be impossible for them to sit by and watch the Beast Pirates dominate.

Such a thing, let alone the Beast Pirates, even the World Government couldn't do!

"Ulti, Page One."

Daichi spread the sea chart on the table, pointing to the edge of the Beast Pirates' territory: "Currently, our Beast Pirates have expanded to their limit. To expand our sphere of influence further would require an enormous cost."

"Mm."

They both nodded.

They participated in the expedition and were very clear about this; if the Beast Pirates wanted to expand further, they would have to contend for territory with other Four Emperors.

The risk and reward were not proportional!

"Then I ask you."

Daichi smiled playfully.

"Does the construction site on Hachinosu belong to our Beast Pirates?"

"It does!"

The siblings' eyes lit up.

Oh, right, thinking about it that way, they carved out a piece of meat from Whitebeard's territory, and it was the fattest piece.

Daichi took out a handful of small flags and planted them one by one on the islands of the New World, quickly filling the New World.

"If we built a Beast Pirates community on every island in the New World, do you know what that means?"

"Gulp!"

The siblings swallowed saliva simultaneously; even with their astonishing intelligence, they now realized the feasibility of Daichi's plan.

The Beast Pirates' flag would be planted all over the New World!

Ulti clenched her small fists, her feet tapping in excitement.

Wow! Daichi is amazing!

Page One frowned.

"Won't the local pirates care?"

"Of course they'll be envious, which is why we need to offer concessions, otherwise why would I give the Whitebeard Pirates 30% of the profits?"

Daichi shook his head and smiled.

A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake.

To grow bigger and stronger, not offering concessions is unfeasible; by appropriately giving up some profits, the local snakes, for their own benefit, will instead become their protectors.

Just like the pirates on Hachinosu, even if they weren't Whitebeard's subordinates, they would spontaneously protect Hachinosu if the Marines invaded.

This concerned their vital interests.

Page One still didn't quite understand.

After dealing with the local forces, what about foreign pirates? Many pirates are transient and don't stay in one place long-term.

And there are also the arrogant newcomers.

"Brother-in-law, what about the other pirates?"

"Page One, if we occupied a large number of islands, we would inevitably be attacked by the masses, but we only occupy a very, very small piece of land, not even the size of a village."

Daichi's eyes were sharp.

"If you were to plunder an island, facing many selectable targets, would you risk your life to specifically steal from a Four Emperor?"

"No!"

Page One suddenly understood.

Oh right, they were only enclosing a small piece of land.

"Not only that."

Daichi picked up four more flags and placed them in the position of the Four Seas, which was a forbidden area that the Four Emperors could not enter.

It was fine for the Four Emperors to visit, the Marines would turn a blind eye, but if the Four Emperors wanted to occupy the islands of the Four Seas, the Marines would definitely deploy a large army.

The Four Seas were the World Government's base.

The New World was where the Four Emperors belonged.

Daichi's eyes slightly chilled: "When the time is right, our Beast Pirates' community construction can even take root in the Four Seas!"

"Impossible!"

Page One blurted out.

"The Marines won't stand by and do nothing!"

"Of course I know."

Daichi crossed his legs, a sneer in his eyes.

"Precisely because of this, our company needs a legitimate identity, an identity officially recognized by the World Government!"

"I've even thought of the name."

"It will be called Groudon Real Estate Company!"

With Celestial Dragons leading, the World Government's corruption was visible to the naked eye; they even dared to secretly trade with the Beast Pirates, selling research results.

What's the big deal about establishing a legitimate company?

Coincidentally, that Queen the Plague was a World Government person.

Local forces, outsiders, and officials—all three were obstacles to his real estate empire, but there were corresponding solutions for each.

"Page One, how much money do we still have?"

"Less than 1 billion Berries."

Almost all the Hakumai grain was sold to the Headliners within the group, heavily profiting from their own people, which was enough to gather the startup capital.

"That's enough!"
