Chapter 217: The Black Crow’s Sea
"Hahaha, Lord Black Crow, this is a great harvest."
"Although the Jackal Fleet is gone, it left a lot of treasures on the seabed, which were all fished up by the men under your command."
"Hahaha, the preliminary estimate is at least several hundred million Berries."
On Crow Island, Araki and the others excitedly reported to Mio. After approaching the island and landing, they ordered their men to dive to the seabed and retrieve all the treasures from the pirate ships that had become wreckage.
You don't know until you fish it out. But once you do, you'll be shocked—treasures worth hundreds of millions of Berries were discovered.
This amount of treasure was no small gain, no wonder Araki and the others were so thrilled.
"Put it all away," Mio said with a smile, his tone calm yet commanding. "It might come in handy in the future." Then he looked toward the island and gave a new order. "Get ready. This island will be our base camp from now on, so we have to build it up properly. Give the order to start construction."
As a base of operations, the island naturally needed housing, storage, and defensive structures.
"Yes!" Araki nodded firmly. "Don't worry, Lord Black Crow. The men are already prepared and can begin work at any time."
"Good." Mio nodded, then turned to Katsumata Takeru and instructed coldly, "Take your brothers and sweep the nearby seas. Whether they're pirates or navy, drive them out or kill them!"
"From now on, this sea belongs to the Black Crow."
