Chapter 308: Jess Mercenary Corps
Who agrees, who opposes?
Everyone's expression drastically changed except for the Six Emperors. They weren't sure how much profit they would make after the businesses were divided, but they were well aware of how much money their businesses made. If they had to give up 50% of the money they made every year, it would feel like they were being squeezed dry.
Moreover, once this agreement was official, it meant that they would be considered Millefiore Family's subordinates. They would have to follow Byakuran's orders from now on.
No one would want chains suddenly appearing on their hands and feet. However, Millefiore Family's power was so overwhelming that even an Admiral lost against them. What could they do?
"I object!"
Just at that moment, a burly man with tattoos covering half of his face and a faint killing intent suddenly spoke. "Lord Byakuran, I assume it's okay to address you that way? I admit that Millefiore Family is strong, and just like one of New World's rulers, Vongola Family, you also wield the unique power of the Dying Will Flame, but this is North Blue, and I don't mean to brag, but I've been doing business here for over twenty years. Even the Marines gave me some leniency, but you and your Family appear out of nowhere and you want to take 50% of the entire North Blue's profits. Forgive me for being disrespectful, but on what grounds?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Genkishi charged toward him, but his sword was stopped midway by Byakuran.
This burly man was no pushover. His strength was probably on par with a Vice Admiral. Even though Genkishi was formidable, he wouldn't be able to defeat this guy easily. Moreover, from the killing intent alone, it was clear that he had killed so many people over the years, which had strengthened his willpower, making him immune to most illusions.
So, facing this man would not be an easy task, even if Genkishi would ultimately win.
"The leader of Jesse Mercenary Legion, Jesse Zack, right?"
After stopping Genkishi, Byakuran turned his gaze to Zack. "I've heard that your mercenary legion has seven thousand members, with one captain for every one thousand members, and each captain possesses the strength of a Marine Officer. In the past, you were undoubtedly the ruler of North Blue. Moreover, you've bribed several Marine Officers stationed in North Blue, making it difficult for anyone to defy you."
"Lord Byakuran, you're quick on the uptake. Although my mercenary legion lacks Vice Admiral-level combatant, if Millefiore Family were to wage war against me, it wouldn't be an easy victory if you have to fight seven thousand mercenaries, right?"
Jesse Zack said with a smug. He was probably the most confident person among them all apart from the Six Emperors. Little did he know that even the Six Emperors had remained silent; Didn't he realize that he made a mistake.
"Well... 7000 mercenaries are indeed not easy to deal with. However..."
"Bam!"
In an instant, Byakuran appeared behind Jesse Zack and grabbed his head before slamming it onto the table. His Color of Supreme King Haki burst forth at that moment, causing everyone present to feel a stifling pressure. If Byakuran hadn't intentionally held his Color of Supreme King Haki, they all might have fainted by now.
Jesse Zack enveloped himself in Color of Arms Haki, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from Byakuran's clutch.
The two of them were simply not on the same level. While Byakuran hadn't awakened all his powers yet, the overwhelming Dying Will Flame alone had already made him on the same level as an Admiral.
Being able to stop Akainu's attack with one finger and even counterattack was no joke!
"Quiet down; the meeting isn't over yet!"
Byakuran increased the grip in his hand once again, crushing the table, while Jesse Zack was smashed onto the ground. Just as he was about to mount a counterattack, Genkishi had already placed his blade against Jesse's neck. Any further resistance, and the blade would snuff out his life.
"As I said, who agrees, and who opposes?"
Byakuran said, completely ignoring Jesse Zack, who was powerless on the ground.
Umit and the others cast a cold glance at Zack. They were well aware that challenging Millefiore Family at this moment was unwise. They knew that Millefiore Family had an Admiral-level combatant named Zakuro and suspected that Byakuran was also an Admiral-level combatant, and their suspicion was on the mark.
A Family with two Admiral-level combatants could not only establish new rules for the North Blue's Underworld but also potentially eliminate it altogether. Furthermore, Millefiore Family offered 30% of the profits for them, so why bother defying them? They might be the Emperors of the Underworld, but ultimately, they were businessmen, and business started from good relationships.
"I agree," Stussy was the first to speak up at this moment.
Following her, the other five Emperors also agreed. Seeing all six Underworld Emperors had consented, the others quickly agreed as well, especially after witnessing Jesse Zack's powerlessness before Byakuran.
Soon, everyone in the room, except Jesse Zack, had chosen to agree. In reality, this was their only option.
"In that case, today's meeting is adjourned. Thank you for your agreement, and I believe North Blue will only get better from here on."
Byakuran smiled and then returned to his seat. "Genkishi, escort everyone out. I'll have a thorough discussion with Mr. Jesse Zack about the future of his mercenary legion."
"Understood, Lord Byakuran."
After sheathing his sword, Genkishi opened the door and said coldly. "Please follow me."
After everyone had left, Byakuran looked at Jesse Zack and spoke softly, "If I'm not mistaken, you've brought your entire mercenary legion with you this time, haven't you? But do you know what awaits them?"
"Heh, all I know is that Millefiore Family will be reduced to ashes in gunfire!"
