Shifting the Scales of Power

Shopkeeper: Eh? EH!!! yes, of course!

Seriously, what's up with these people getting surprised when I start talking to them. This wasn't really talking either. This was pretty much getting ridiculous at this point. If I met the president of my country in my previous life, I would get my nerves together and act confident.

As I dumped all of them in the big bubble cart that I borrowed, I went around buying more and more. Spices, food, drinks, snacks, and a lot more of things we probably wouldn't be able to buy outside the Archipelago.

After all, even if my heritage is from Wano, I grew up in Sabaody after all. The food here is my favorite.

We all had a two day long massive shopping spree. Spending over a Hundred Million Beri on food, repairs, supplies and more. Of course, we more than easily earned 300 Million beri by just snatching up pirates that were trying to hide from us on the Island.

Me: 340 Million Beri

Marine: But... Pirates aren't allo—-

Me: We're not Pirates. Give me the money

Marine: But crimina—-

Me: You already took the Pirates. Do you want me to go in there and set them free again? Equal transactions. If you won't give me the money, than I take back what you took from me for free.

So we easily got our money back with some friendly talk and convincing. During the entire time, we met multiple reporters and got our pictures taken by a least two dozen Den Den Mushi and I'm pretty sure they got dozens of good pictures of our ship and flag. I guess we'll be known by that flag now.

That night, we all had a serious meeting about our future. What we want to do and how we can do it. We didn't want to be Pirates; having to pillage and steal in order to live...no. We wanted to be something unique but powerful. We wanted our own domain in the New World... but we didn't want to be recognized as an Emperor.

Diana: We've always wanted to try and achieve World Peace. It's not going to work out every problem but I say we try and make THAT. We've got the resources, we've got Billions of Beri to back us up. We can do it. If we pull this off, we have the legitimate reasons to wipe them off one by one with most of the World on our side.

Everyone: We do...

Me: I say it's worth a try. Besides, nobody can really stop us from doing so anyway.
