Vongola Primo in One Piece - Chapter 366
“Lord Byakuran, why did you just request the legal right to plunder even though plunder doesn’t seem like a significant concern for us? We have control over the entire North Blue Underworld, and we are making more than enough money to run our Family, plenty to spare even,” Zakuro asked, expressing his confusion.
He couldn’t understand why Byakuran suddenly made such a request. Legal right to plunder didn’t seem to hold much significance for their Family. However, since Byakuran had made this request, they would certainly follow it.
“Do you think the World Government, or the Five Elders would trust us so easily? In their eyes, we might be enemies with Vongola Family, but if we simply accept their terms right away, they most likely will be cautious of us, so I requested the right to plunder legally, which might be trivial in their eyes, but it will make the World Government less cautious of us.”
Byakuran smiled and began to explain to Zakuro, “The people that are useful to people like them must have weaknesses. Either they are greedy, lustful, or power-hungry. Power-hungry people can pose a threat to their positions and the World Government’s stability. So, Zakuro, which category do you think legal plunder is?”
Hearing this, Zakuro finally understood. By asking for the right to plunder legally, the blond-haired Five Elders would think that Byakuran was a greedy person. In other words, greed was Millefiore Family’s weakness. By presenting this weakness to the Five Elders, Byakuran made them believe he was controllable, and that was what would put their minds at ease.
It was a simple strategy, but it was quite effective for those in higher positions.
“Then, are we going to make our move against Vongola Family now that the World Government has approached us? They must have their own plans, but our headquarters is in North Blue, while Vongola Family is in New World, and the distance between the two is pretty far,” Genkishi asked.
They didn’t know the relationship between Byakuran and Giotto, so now that Byakuran had accepted the World Government’s conditions and received their benefits, did that mean they were going to confront Vongola Family?
To be honest, they were at a significant disadvantage at this stage. According to their intelligence, all six Guardians of Vongola Family had assembled, while Millefiore Family only had Zakuro and Bluebell.
If they started a war now, even with Byakuran, Genkishi believed the likelihood of defeat was quite high.
“Not at all. We should focus on bolstering our strength. The World Government has just suffered a significant defeat, and they won’t make any move against Vongola Family so soon. The Marines are even less likely to venture into New World as they have just lost one of their Admirals. The reason they approached us now is to make sure that they have another option to stand up to Vongola Family at a crucial moment. Therefore, we can set it aside for the next few years. Concentrating on our own strength is the most crucial thing at the moment.”
Byakuran had a clear understanding of the situation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to the World Government’s terms. While major conflicts wouldn’t arise, causing minor frictions here and there to keep the World Government entertained should be acceptable, right?
Secon Island, Vongola Family’s headquarters.
“I see,” Giotto responded as he processed the information that Byakuran sent him.
Although he had anticipated this turn of events, he didn’t expect the World Government would make a move this fast. Not long after their defeat, they immediately went to Byakuran.
After extinguishing the flames in the training room, Giotto opened his system panel to review the information.
