One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 46 alarms the Five Elders

"That's a great idea indeed. If it succeeds, it would be equivalent to complete control over trade between the four seas and the Grand Line. The transportation business alone could generate huge profits. Not to mention, there's the enormous price difference that can be used to make a killing. However, the problem is, how do you ensure that other people will choose to post missions with us?"

Aini shrugged slightly, appearing confident, and said, "As for those who don't want to come to the Four Seas Exchange to post missions, let them pay a toll."

"Wh...what? Toll fees?" Burns was speechless for a moment when he heard this, clearly unable to keep up with Aini's leap of thought.

Enni explained calmly, "That's right. Any ship or person that wants to pass through Cactus Island must pay us a certain amount of Beli as a toll."

After hearing these words, Burns' lips twitched slightly. After all, he couldn't have stood his ground and made a name for himself in the Holy Land, a place rife with all sorts of people and fierce competition; he certainly wasn't a saint.

So he had always thought that his heart was hard and black enough, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that the one he had given birth to was several times more black-hearted than him.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Cough cough..."

Burns coughed a few times to calm himself down: "This approach is really inappropriate! Doing so will definitely cause strong public dissatisfaction, and arousing public anger would have very serious consequences."

Even if you have the power to suppress others, it will affect your future prospects in the Navy.

More importantly, such actions would offend many powerful and influential figures, some of whom wield terrifying strength.

Aini shrugged and then spread his hands. "What does this have to do with me?"

You know, this was ordered to be built by the Celestial Dragons! And I'm just an unlucky guy who was unfortunately captured and made an executor...tsk...tsk tsk...tsk..."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Burns froze on the spot, thinking to himself, "..." Good heavens, really good heavens!

They actually pushed all the blame onto the Celestial Dragons, intending to make them take the brunt of the blame!

However, on second thought, do the Celestial Dragons really care about being blamed for something like this?

They didn't seem to care much.

After all, their past actions have already earned them a notorious reputation, and their image is as black as it gets. Even if they were to be burdened with another incident, it would probably be of little consequence to them.

Moreover, those high and mighty Celestial Dragons only care about the glittering Beli; as long as they can obtain enough wealth, they don't bother with such matters at all.

It's important to understand that for those people, the acts they committed were far more outrageous and heinous. Take, for example, the horrific Buster Call, where they could mercilessly massacre entire nations or islands—the cruelty was beyond imagination! And the ones issuing all these orders were none other than the high and mighty Celestial Dragons. On this vast ocean, who would dare disobey the Celestial Dragons' decrees?

Thinking of this, Burns could not contain his joy and burst into unrestrained laughter: "Hahahaha... Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get the Celestial Dragons to speak up and take the initiative to propose this plan to the World Government."

Hearing this, Enni's face lit up with a smug smile. He knew that if the Celestial Dragons were to propose this plan themselves, its implementation would be much smoother, and the probability of success would naturally increase significantly. In this way, their plans would be twice as effective with half the effort, bringing them one step closer to their ultimate goal.

After all, no matter what the matter, as long as the Celestial Dragons are involved, even the most outrageous things will become logical.

......

Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye. Aini and her group have already visited many small islands.

They're almost at the Alabasta Kingdom where Princess Vivi is.

Just then, a newsbird flew overhead and circled once above them.

Upon seeing this, Ai flicked out a coin.

After the newsbird took the coin, it tossed down a newspaper.

Aini took it and then began to look through it with great interest. He couldn't help but show a surprised expression after just one glance.

Because he saw the supernovas of the worst of times.

Captain of the Kid Pirates, from the South Blue, with a bounty of 220 million Berries.

Basil Hawkins, 180 million Berry

X. Drake, 162 million Berry

Trafalgar Law, 130 million Berries

Skulachman Ap, 126 million Berries

Kira, 112 million Berries

Joni Bonney, 110 million Berries

Capone Becky, 108 million Berries.

Urki, 88 million Berries.

Monkey D. Luffy, 4000 million Berries.

Vinsmoke Sanji, 3000 million Berries.

Good heavens, apart from a few that are already in the Grand Line, these guys haven't even ventured out of their respective seas yet!

The bounty is already this high.

Especially Luffy, I really didn't expect that he could defeat Locke and Arlong, yet his bounty still reached 4000 million.

They defeated the only three remaining pirates in the East Blue besides the one with the hurricane ability, who had tens of millions of dollars in assets, including Buggy the Clown.

However, he only really got going after he reached the Grand Line. So, he can't compare to the other guys.

After all, this guy rose to prominence after defeating Crocodile in the Alabasta Kingdom. It's just unexpected that Zoro would join his ranks.

Sanji has become one of the Supernovas.

Moreover, the bounties offered by these individuals also reflect the strength of each of the four seas.

Aini's lips curled into a slight smile: "Interesting..."

......

The five elders of the Holy Land held the plan that had been delivered to them, their eyes narrowing involuntarily.

The five saints, Nasshoulang, Pit, Vochuli, Maz, and Satan, looked at each other in bewilderment.

To be honest, they were very pleasantly surprised.

If this plan succeeds, they will have complete control over the economic lifeline of the world. This would play a significant role in stabilizing the world.

However, it's simple in some ways, and easy in others.

Just like in the East Blue, where pirates have been almost completely wiped out, there are very few powerful individuals left. Therefore, implementing this plan would face no obstacles whatsoever.

However, the other three seas are not so easy to navigate. Not only are there numerous pirates, but the various forces involved are also complex and possess extraordinary strength.

It's utterly impossible to get them to share their profits. If this plan were implemented, I'm afraid every ship from the Four Seas Exchange that goes there would be robbed.
