Mr. 5 took out a Den Den Mushi the size of a snail's palm from his arms. Lombardi took a few steps back, indicating that he couldn't eavesdrop on the phone.
Mr. 5 slowly dialed the phone, and there was a "gulu gulu" sound. He slowly put the Den Den Mushi on his cheek, and soon a slightly hoarse and low voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
He quickly reported the current information, and after a while, new instructions came from the Den Den Mushi. Mr. 5 respectfully waited for the other side to hang up the phone before putting the Den Den Mushi back into his arms.
Lombardi didn't hear anything during the entire conversation, but he could tell from Mr. Five's respectful expression and Miss Valentine's awkward expression that the other side of the phone was trying to convey a strict hierarchy.
"You are lucky. The president doesn't care about the trade partner. As long as you can guarantee that the mine is sufficient, then everything can be traded according to the same conditions as the tiago." Mr. 5 put his little finger into his nostril, pulled out a ball of booger, and then fiercely flicked it at Lombardi.
Like a bullet, sparks flew out from the friction in the air. Lombardi's face suddenly changed, and the booger flew out from his ear, creating a terrible wave on the sea behind him. Water droplets burst out from the sky, and the entire deck was soaked.
"But if you can't do what the president expects, the next time you come, there will only be this broken ship, and you will all be buried in the desert of Alabasta." Mr. 5's threatening voice slowly reached everyone's ears at this moment.
Lombardi wiped the water droplets on his forehead and said with a cold face, "You can rest assured that there will be more than a few broken ships."
The next step was to finalize the time and place of the next meeting. The crew moved all the ores in the cabin to a storage warehouse in the port. After that, someone would transport these ores to the inland city of Alabasta.
Lombardi watched Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine leave, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't get any information about the secrets of the rainbow stone mine, but he did get in touch with the mysterious buyer, and the buyer's strength seemed to be unfathomable.
"This is the aura of the Grand Line … It's really exciting!" Lombardi pursed his lips, suddenly feeling a little interested. Compared to the Grand Line, this corner of the East Sea was like a shallow pond.
"Did you see it, Kaba? This is the Grand Line. Two random people have Devil Fruit ability. I can't see through their strength at all. Compared to this, Lieutenant Yarlin, who brought us some frustration, is nothing at all here. Even the entire Navy Branch 153 can't even make a splash on the Grand Line." Lombardi patted Kabba's shoulder and said in a fervent tone, "One day, we will leave the East Sea and truly stand on the Grand Line."
Ka Ba's lips trembled. He wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.
"Return!"
Lombardi stood at the bow of the ship in high spirits. He kicked the Tiago caravan's flag away with the tip of his foot. It flew into the sea and was crushed by the ship that was setting sail.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the sea, and the wrinkled flag silently sank to the bottom of the sea.
He hung up the phone.
In a dark room with only a trace of light, a black fur coat covered his burly body in the shadows. He slowly sat up from the sofa and slowly walked a few steps to open the two windows. Outside was the dry and hot air. He took a deep breath and blew out a cigar smoke ring from his mouth.
The sand in the sky was blown by the wind in the city. He looked down at the city streets below and slowly stretched out his palm. The whistling sand strangely gathered and rotated in his palm, as if he was slowly grasping the outline of the entire desert.
"This country is mine!" he said.
The hoarse and magnetic voice echoed softly in the room. In the shadowy corner of the room, a tall woman wearing a sunhat was holding a book in her hand. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the sunlight coming in through the window with a complicated expression. It was as if her eyes that had been hidden in the darkness for a long time were being stung by the sunlight.
The light formed a circle at her feet.

A 3D image was projected on his retina. Yarlin's finger gently tapped on the table. Everything in Navy Branch 153 was like a screw that was screwed on. With the passage of time, the progress of the evolution of devour and the absorption distribution points were climbing.
Frequent elimination of pirates in the surrounding sea, the pursuit of the information of the pirates on the bounty list, and the gradual expansion of the force to the surrounding islands. The recruitment of recruits was no longer limited to the town of Shields, but the neighboring islands, cities, and towns were included in the recruitment scope.
Because of the frequent elimination of pirates in the sea, the reputation of the Naval Branch began to improve in this sea. Therefore, Yarlin gradually began to set up recruitment points in the islands and towns in the sea under his jurisdiction. The results were good. Every month, the branch could recruit a new batch of soldiers to make up for the high casualty rate caused by frequent missions.
At this moment, the Navy Branch 153 had already reached the maximum number of members, but Yarlin still didn't stop recruiting recruits. Although the number of recruits couldn't be met, they were all treated equally in terms of benefits, and everyone had an "establishment" in the file of the branch.
It wasn't an establishment that belonged to the headquarters, but the establishment of the branch. Of course, all of this was naturally impossible for the headquarters to know. After all, everything was just a small scale. The entire establishment of the branch was only a few hundred people.
Of course, this number will continue to grow. However, Yarlin has his own way to quietly digest it. The Red Skull Pirates are one way to digest it, and the Chamber of Commerce secretly funded and controlled by Navy Branch 153 is another way.
These Marine soldiers are all Yarlin's loyalists. They will take off their military uniforms and establishment and disguise themselves as members of other identities under Yarlin's forces. With the expansion of his territory, they will gradually spread to every corner of the entire East Blue.
In his mind, he was thinking about the next part of the plan that needs to be adjusted and modified while distributing the points, so his attribute template changed into:
Spiritual strength 10
Nerve conduction rate 1.3
Bone hardness 5
Muscle activity 5
Blood density and flow rate 5
Complete body – Split seed breaking period (Progress bar 17110000)
Absorption distribution points (0)
