His hand paused for a moment, and Locke's eyes were a little dazed.
Once upon a time, he was a hero on the battlefield, leading countless warriors in bloody battles.
He was loyal to His Majesty and hot-blooded. But time had passed, his country was gone, and the beautiful woman who had accompanied him had long turned into skeletons and was buried in the ground.
Thinking back to the past, the years were filled with sorrow. The general had become a thing of the past, but the legend of the pirate hunter began to reverberate on the sea.
"Haven't you always dreamed of being a general since you were young? Locke! "
Xiu Sen's voice sounded again, waking Locke up.
He hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Xiu Sen, you have to know that we're just subordinates of that person now."
Indeed, Lo Chen now owned the entire island and held the lives of countless people in his hands. No one knew how many people were willing to flatter him and work for him. And Locke, in the end, was just a loser. Trust was a problem.
"You think too much, Locke. Lo Chen is not such a stingy person."
"You have a good understanding of people, but can't you see that this guy's heart is in the world and his ambition is greater than the sky?"
"And all along, people with such lofty ambitions would not care about trivial matters like you and me."
"Those who achieve great things do not care about trifles. Is Lo Chen such a person that even you and I don't dare to use?"
After a few words, Locke's body trembled and he began to think again.
Becoming a general, leading soldiers, and fighting on the battlefield for the people he was loyal to had been his dream since he was a child. Andoro Island was now in a state of chaos, and the changes that happened every day surprised him. Moreover, Lo Chen's momentum and desire to do great things also tempted him.
If he worked under such a strong and ambitious person, he didn't know how high he could climb in the future.
There was no doubt that this was the best opportunity to realize his dream.
"You're right. If Lo Chen doesn't dare to use me, then he doesn't deserve to be one of the emperors of the sea!"
A smile appeared on Locke's face, then he stared at Xiu Sen.
"What about you?"
"Me?"
Xiu Sen was stunned.
"Yes, if I'm a general under him, what about you?"
Locke asked in a deep voice.
They were brothers. Even though they had some conflicts in the past and wanted to hack each other to death when they met, blood was still thicker than water. Deep in their hearts, that friendship still existed.
"Me? I'm the Captain of the Xiu Sen Pirates. Now that I'm under Lo Chen, I'm naturally the sharpest knife in his hand. "
"When everything in Andorro Island is settled down, it will be the time for this rising emperor to expand his territory!"
"At that time, you will be on the inside, and I will be on the outside! He is Lo Chen's vanguard general! "
Xiu Sen smiled. He had a clear view of his position.
Locke narrowed his eyes and asked worriedly, "But if that's the case, what about your safety?"
He did not continue. If he were to become Lo Chen's blade, he would naturally have to face countless powerful enemies. Moreover, at this time, Lo Chen had very few generals under his command. Other than his own companions, there was no one else. He could be said to be alone.
The best way to handle such a dangerous matter was naturally to leave it to Xiu Sen.
"At first, he will be sad, but soon, he will be."
Xiu Sen suddenly shook his head and laughed.
"And, Locke, I'm doing a dangerous job. It doesn't seem to be any different from before!"
Locke was stunned and then sighed.
On the seventh day of the occupation of Andorro Island, the whole island had been refurbished. Tall sentry towers were built at the four ports in the north, south, east, and west. Equipped with light armor, the guards stood side by side, guarding the ports. Moreover, there were teams of soldiers patrolling the streets back and forth.
At this moment, the entire island was under the control of this newly established army. Whether it was the public security or the atmosphere, it has changed greatly.
The construction of the Government Building and Lo Chen's palace has been half completed.
The red flag was hung high at the highest point of the city center. When the sea breeze blew, it fluttered and shook, exuding a fierce and majestic aura.
The flag made the pirates in the four seas afraid, and no one dared to invade.
The fame of defeating Kaido brought Lo Chen a power that no one dared to offend, and it also made him famous in the sea.
Those with foresight could naturally see that the rise of this overlord was unstoppable. At this time, they may be able to achieve great things before his wings are fully grown, but at the same time, it's easy to be killed with a slap.
Many pirates have already given up the idea of fighting for Andorro Island and turned to aim at the other islands.
There are more than thirty islands, even if one is gone, there are still more.
On this day, Lo Chen was half-lying on the Golden Phoebe Dragon Chair carefully prepared for him by the ministers, listening to the report of the three ministers.
"My lord, the most recent tax collected is about two hundred and thirty million gold coins, excluding the necessary part for the operation of Andro Island, which is what my lord ordered us to do."
"What's left is about 120 million."
The finance minister said carefully.
"120 million?"
Lo Chen frowned slightly.
The three ministers below seemed to see the change in Lo Chen's expression and immediately trembled.
They know that pirates have a perverted hobby for money and other things. Most of them occupy the islands to enjoy life and make money.
"Sir, please don't worry, this is only a week's tax, and now Andorro Island is a lot more stable, and merchants are more willing to come here, and the daily trading volume is increasing rapidly."
The finance minister explained with sweat on his forehead.
However, this didn't soften Lo Chen's indifferent expression.
"Sir, our new army has made a sweep this time, and those who don't obey you have also made a profit from it."
"The amount, converted into Bailey, is about 20 billion. If you need money, this is not a problem at all."
Suddenly, the military minister stood up and said loudly.
"More than 20 billion?!"
Lo Chen looked up and was a little surprised.
The merchants who were killed by him were so rich?
"Yes, the specific amount is still being calculated, but it is definitely more than that."
The military minister said affirmatively, and after a pause, he glanced at the finance minister.
"This matter, after the preliminary statistics, I handed it over to Fain, I believe he will figure it out soon."
"Yes, sir, please rest assured, I will do my best to calculate the specific amount of this property and send it to you as soon as possible."
Finance minister Fain promised with sweat on his forehead.
"Ok."
A smile appeared on Luo Chen's face. He glanced at the three of them and waved his hand.
"Go down."
When the three people left, Lo Chen's eyes lit up.
"More than 20 billion, very good."
"It seems that the idea of farming Devil Fruit will soon be realized."
