APJ CHAPTER 96 KING OF THE BEASTS’ SHIP

In the world of pirates, shipbuilding is a pivotal industry. The vast Four Seas and treacherous Grand Line both require ships for travel.

As for constructing bridges, World Government has been working on it for so many years, yet Tequila Wolf still hasn’t been completed.

The developed shipbuilding industry has created opportunities for shipbuilders in numerous locations, and this is especially true in the New World, where excellent shipbuilders are highly sought after by various forces.

The unpredictable climate of the sea greatly increases the likelihood of ship damage, and nearly all the islands near the main shipping routes have the capability to repair ships. Additionally, shipbuilding facilities can be found within the territories of every pirate.

Due to the need to find the Plates, Beasts Pirates have a high demand for ships. While Kaido can fly around, other members still require ships for their transportation needs.

After several months, the Beasts Pirates’ main warship, “King of the Beasts” was completed.

World initially came to this island with the intention of using the local craftsmanship to forge a giant cannon. As a result, the firepower of this ship is almost at its maximum capacity, and its onboard cannons are as powerful as any battleship of the Marines.

Today marks the maiden voyage of the King of the Beasts’ ship, which is capable of carrying up to 650 personnel. With the exception of the cooks and doctors, the positions of the sailors and fighters are interchangeable.

The next morning, after the new combat orders were issued, the people on the island began preparing supplies for the upcoming campaign. Pirate battles are typically frequent, so the Beasts Pirates developed a unique system to prevent the island residents from becoming resentful towards their external conflicts.

Residents of the island who provide supplies have the right to share a portion of the spoils of war after a victorious battle. Even the best words cannot compare to actual benefits. In this situation, although it may not make them all want to join the pirates and set sail, they also won’t oppose the Beasts Pirates’ external conflicts.

This is similar to an investment, where if the battle is lost, there is naturally nothing gained. However, currently, the Beasts Pirates have been more successful than unsuccessful in their external warfare. Therefore, the residents within their territory were still relatively supportive of this.

The elderly on this island have experienced many eras, and the ownership of this island has changed hands many times. So far, the Beasts Pirates are the pirate crew that provides the highest quality of life here.

The cruelty of the New World far exceeds that of other sea areas. Without a powerful backer to protect them, this island is destined to become a lawless place. Whether it is pirates, slave traders, or even the World Government, they all see it as their own sheep pen, and the residents inside are just livestock.

Celestial Dragons are the “gods” of the world. Countries and islands that do not join the World Government cannot enjoy any rights, and the exorbitant Heavenly Tribute is to differentiate their status.

World Government deliberately creates “inferior beings” and looks down on people from countries that are not part of the World Government to increase the satisfaction of its member countries.

It was the World Government’s non-interference that gave birth to powerful pirates, and over time, formed the living environment of the New World.

Three days later, the King of the Beasts’ ship was fully prepared. However, it only had a crew of two hundred people and was not fully staffed. Led by Arceus and Kaido, along with the top officers  Shayna and King, even if the ship was not fully staffed, their military strength could not be underestimated.

Meanwhile, Millennial Dragons were also on the ship. Upon hearing that this organization was responsible for attacking them previously, the Millennial Dragon’s leader volunteered to participate in this battle.

Kaido did not necessarily have to go with them, but he was not one to stay idle. Most of the  time, he was not in his territory but wandering around, searching the Plates for Arceus while also doing his own things.

Recently, there was again news of him being captured by other pirates and escaping unscathed.

Arceus did not know where Morgans got the information from, but according to the response from the person involved, the information in the newspaper was basically true but with some literary embellishment.

In addition, this was the main warship’s first voyage, and as the current governor-general of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido naturally had to set out with them.

Yes, with the growth of the Beasts Pirates, his identity had become clear as the governor-general, in addition to King and others’ position as All-Stars.

Although Shayna does not belong to the All-Stars, she was at the same level as them.

The sea breeze lifted the main sail of the ship, and the King of the Beasts’ ship began its first voyage.

A certain island in the New World, it was the headquarters of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group located in the New World. Although they were called the Organ Dealing Assassination Group, they actually engaged in many businesses.

Although organ trafficking was their main business, they also offered services such as assassinations and mercenaries, and were more like a group of illegal bounty hunters.

To say so was actually not correct. From a humanitarian and legal perspective, they were indeed an illegal organization.

However, from the perspective of the World Government, they were not an illegal organization because they have not been officially wanted. Through some covert connections with the World Government, they appear legal on the surface.

Organ Dealing Assassination Group engage in many businesses but do not engage in human trafficking because they only sell organs and not living people.

There were many people held in the underground prison of the headquarters, and they were provided with scientifically balanced meals and were forced to exercise every day. No matter how good the cultivation vessels are, it cannot compare to the human body. In their eyes, these people are nothing more than living vessels.

Once a suitable match appeared for a business deal, they would be killed and their organs removed.

Although the blood types here are more complicated, people’s physique was much stronger, which makes organ matching simpler.

In a seemingly neat office, a man in a suit was chewing gum, and no one would have guessed that he was the notorious head of this organization.

“Manager, isn’t the cost of doing this too high?”

Manager, who calls himself the leader of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group, thinks he is a legitimate businessman and demands that his subordinates address him as such.

In order to establish a connection with the Celestial Dragons, he exhausted all his personal connections. If his efforts don’t yield any results, it would be a huge loss for them.

“Don’t be impatient, Coco, this is a big deal, and waiting is worth it.”

The transportation on the sea is not very convenient. It takes more than ten days even for a quick trip. Hunting for legendary creatures like the Millennial Dragon takes a long time, which was expected by them.

“Have you found a buyer for the new product?”

“We found one, it’s a king from the West Blue. His son has been sickly since childhood and he has always wanted to replace his son’s organs with stronger ones. He’s interested in the Mink Tribe.”

“The person has already arrived at the trading location on the Red Line, and is only waiting for our goods.”

“Great. This deal will bring us ten times more profit than a regular one. Let’s set out immediately. If that guy goes crazy and injures himself again, it won’t be good.”
