APJ CHAPTER 98 UNDERWORLD IS ABOUT TO GO THROUGH A CHANGE

“What’s wrong, Brother Peros?” the person next to him asked, watching as Perospero hung up the phone with a contemptuous expression tinged with anger.

“It’s nothing, just some insignificant bugs who offended the Beasts Pirates. However, I’m afraid the underworld is going to be reshuffled.”

Although the Organ Dealing Assassination Group has a certain standing in the underworld, they are merely unscrupulous merchants operating outside of the rules. They are able to exist in this world only because there is a demand for their business.

In terms of strength, both the World Government and the pirates could easily crush them, and if someone decided to completely eradicate them, their own strength would not be enough.

New World is the territory of the pirates, and even though the managers of various industries in the underground world are referred to as “emperors,” they only hold such a title within their own territories. The root of their survival lies in their dealings with the major pirate crews and the World Government. Once they lose their value, no one would care about their life or death.

Although the Organ Dealing Assassination Group has not yet reached this point, their current situation was not very good.

There were also pirates closely cooperating with them in other underground businesses to the extent that they could borrow flags. However, the pirate who lent them the flag was defeated in a recent conflict, which led to them losing their protection.

Normally, the victor usually takes over everything of the defeated party, including the businesses they previously controlled. However, in this case, the winner was Whitebeard, who is not interested in this type of business.

Weapons smuggling, gambling and mercenary warfare; Whitebeard Pirates are involved in these types of businesses and never engage in trade involving human trafficking. As someone who values family greatly, Whitebeard has a strong aversion towards such business.

As a result, the Organ Dealing Assassination Group was unable to seek refuge under Whitebeard’s flag. This is why their manager attempted to establish a connection with Big Mom, while also trying to take advantage of Millennial Dragons to form new ties with the World Government.

According to his plan, once these two things were done, they would have a more stable backing.

Unfortunately, there is still no news regarding the team who went to look for the Millennial Dragons. As for Big Mom’s side, he hesitated due to the high asking price. So, when the Beasts Pirates attacked, the Organ Dealing Assassination Group had to rely solely on their own strength.

Not all assassins are King Hassan, and their frontal combat capabilities are not necessarily strong. At least, when facing the current Beasts Pirates, their combat prowess was not remarkable.

As the manager looked at the busy signal on the Den Den Mushi, his expression grew even more unpleasant. It was surprising that even Big Mom Pirates fear the Beasts Pirates.

In fact, he has guessed wrong. Major pirates all have their own dignity. If they had already lent their flag to them, Big Mom might not ignore it. At the very least, she would come forward to mediate.

As fellow pirates, it is highly unlikely that Charlotte Linlin, as Kaido’s senior, would fear Kaido.

Besides, this concerns reputation. If a pirate casually abandons their subordinate forces, the others won’t trust them anymore.

If the flag has already been lent out, then it is very likely that a battle will erupt between the two parties. Reputation is a very serious issue among pirates.

However, they don’t have any agreement right now. In this case, Perospero didn’t even need to think about it and refused them directly, without even consulting Charlotte Linlin.

As the eldest son, he also possesses some level of judgment. Now that the Beasts Pirates have captured Big Mom’s tongue, for her, food is much more important than the offering given by an underworld faction.

As for the issue of the underworld being reshuffled, the resources controlled by the Organ Dealing Assassination Group are not just limited to the organs and assassination business. They also have access to supply chains and a variety of other industries.

Once these people disappear, other people in the underworld will quickly move in to fill the gap like sharks smelling blood.

So, the manager never considered seeking help from other individuals in the underworld. In fact, he would consider himself fortunate if they didn’t take advantage of his predicament.

“Let’s go.”

As the saying goes, “A sly rabbit has three burrows”. Although this is their headquarters, they have other bases. While it is regrettable to lose years of accumulated resources, it is still better than losing lives.

He had already seen it through the binoculars just now. Even though his subordinates chose to surrender, the pirates on the other side showed no sign of stopping.

He didn’t know when his people had offended the Beasts Pirates, but if he didn’t run now, the next unlucky one would definitely be him.

When they built this place, they had thought of various possibilities, so they prepared an escape route in the form of a secret passage under the basement. The passage leads to a secret port on the island, and as long as they board the ship, they can escape to other strongholds and seek a chance to make a comeback.

“Manager, what do we do now?”

“You take some people to bring all those rare goods. I’ll give you five minutes, and after five minutes, gather in Operating Room No.7.”

Coco knew that the manager must have a backup plan, so he called out to a few people to pack up the things, while the manager wanted to return to his office and take all his valuable collections with him.

He just hoped that the gate outside could hold out a little longer.

But as soon as he turned to leave, a huge tremor came from outside the iron gate.

“Did those pirates arrive so quickly?”

The person behind the gate swallowed his saliva and unconsciously stepped back. Since the beginning of the fight, they had been constantly retreating, unable to gain any advantage on the battlefield. It wasn’t until they retreated back into the building that things started to get a little better.

Ordinary pirates do not carry siege weapons, and while the main cannon on a pirate ship is powerful, it is fixed on the ship due to its strong recoil, making it difficult to disassemble and transport.

They also don’t know the meaning of holding on, but since the other side doesn’t accept surrender, they have all retreated back here.

The heavy gate gave them a little sense of security.

But the next moment, this fragile hope was shattered.

Under their disbelieving eyes, the gate melted and King and Shayna’s figures entered one after another. King then created rocks to pave their way forward, covering the ground beneath their feet.

The melted iron made it impossible for the ordinary pirates to step on the ground, but with the help of King, they were able to cross this stream of molten iron.

“Leave none behind, finish them all.”

Shayna scanned the people around her, all of whom were just small fries and a waste of her time. Her target was the manager here, so she headed straight for the depths without hesitation.

Almost all the people around her only saw a red shadow flash past them, and Shayna had already disappeared.

Ability: Speed Boost. In battle, her speed would keep increasing until it reached its maximum limit.

“Big bro King, you go with the big sis, leave this place to us!”
