Chapter 42 – Ace!
After hearing what Kuina said, Lu Yu fell into deep thought.
Most of the arms deals going around were purchased by powerful allies—and even the World Government was a customer.
The central figure behind this web of illegal trades was none other than Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
If Lu Yu made a move against Doflamingo now, it wouldn't just be about taking down a Warlord. The ripple effect would reach the World Government itself.
And once that happens, they'd slap a bounty on his head without hesitation.
If the Navy sent an Admiral, combined with the World Government's influence and might, the Dragon Hunter Pirates wouldn't stand a chance.
"Kuina, don't worry about that for now," Lu Yu said calmly. "When the World Government created the Warlord system, they already chose to abandon the Allied Nations and other kingdoms."
"What they care about is balance—keeping the three major powers in check. But outside of that structure, new pirate groups like us... we're the wild cards."
"Of course, the Revolutionary Army is also a factor," he added. "But even with their strength, they're still hiding in the shadows."
"That's why we need to move carefully, step by step."
