Pirate World, the system was scolded away at the beginning

Chapter 14 14. Here Comes the Money

"Sir, the staff on the island said that we will not be able to enter the island until tomorrow morning."

After Jiabi jumped out of the sea, she said while rubbing her wet hair.

"Ah, good! Thank you for your hard work."

Aoki looked at the huge wooden door across the canyon, and asked, "Isn't it true that only pirates who have received invitations can participate in the Pirate Expo?"

In the main plot of One Piece, Aoki never saw the information of the Pirate Expo.

On the contrary, the fanatical action of the 20th anniversary of One Piece, the big stage of the story, happened at the Pirate Expo.

Regarding the original plot of the theatrical version, Aoki never thought that it would actually appear in the real world of pirates.

"Sir is right." Jiabi explained: "But we don't participate in the treasure competition, so we don't need an invitation letter."

"The Pirate World Expo is a pirate event that lasts for a whole month. Here, people can buy almost everything related to sailing. Even a few years ago, a devil fruit was publicly auctioned at the expo! "

Aoki nodded, and turned to look at the large and small ships around him.

"Are they also pirates waiting to enter the island tomorrow?"

"It should be." Jiabi put his elbows on the ship's side, blowing the sea breeze leisurely: "The treasure competition ended a week ago. These people should all be pirates who came to the expo to purchase supplies."

Aoki nodded again, just when he wanted to ask some more news.

He saw Jiabi's brow furrowed suddenly.

"We seem to be in trouble."

After Jiabi finished speaking, Aoki saw a boat without even a sail, slowly approaching the question mark.

There were three people in the boat.

Two oars, one standing on the bow, looking a bit fierce.

"Is it coming after us?"

Jiabi nodded: "I heard Yu'er say that this guy came to collect protection money from us."

"Protection fees?"

Aoki smiled: "Then according to the rules of the World Expo, can we do anything here?"

Jiabi shrugged: "It's not allowed after entering the island, but we haven't entered the island yet, so... there are no taboos."

"Haha, that means someone is sending money again!"

"Sir, why do I feel that you are more of a pirate hunter than a navigator?"

"Ha ha!"

The boat is only 30 meters away from the question mark.

Aoki even heard the sound of the oars breaking the water, he laughed and said: "Who made them rich? And robbing pirates will not have any psychological burden."

After finishing speaking, Aoki heard the guy standing on the boat with a bad face shouting: "Hey, put your boarding ladder down!"

"Sir, do you want to follow suit?"

Facing Jiabi's inquiry, Aoki nodded: "Let's put it down, someone is sending money, we should make a welcome gesture."

Jiabi nodded, then turned and walked to the side, hung one end of the rolled rope ladder on the buckle of the splint, and then threw the rope ladder over the side of the boat.

A moment later, three men with fierce faces stood on the question mark deck.

"Only the two of you on this boat?"

Looking at the guy with a fierce face and a pair of triangular eyes that kept wandering around Jiabi, Aoki stepped forward and stood in front of Jiabi: "Yes, there are only two of us on this boat. May I ask who you are..."

After blocking Jiabi with his body, Aoki noticed that the speaker frowned, and said impatiently: "Two people are guarding such a big boat? Also, what's the situation at the bow of your boat?"

Because I feel that the huge "question mark" wooden carving on the bow is really a bit too shameful, and at the same time I am worried about attracting the attention of Doflamingo's eyeliner.

Therefore, Aoki deliberately removed the "question mark", and replaced the sail and the pirate flag of the Puzzle Pirates.

If you are not very familiar with Do Dak, basically you can't tell from the appearance that this ship is the "question mark" of the puzzle pirates.

"Well, as you can see, the ship is broken. We came to the Expo to fix it, or sell it for a new one."

"Okay, so do you know the rules?"

"The law? What law?"

"This is the Pirate World Expo! The people who come here are all pirates, it's very dangerous!"

"Ah? But I heard that plundering each other is not allowed here?"

"That was after entering the island. Now we haven't entered the island. Mr. Andre won't care about anything that happens outside the island."

Andre?
In Operation Frenzy, isn't the host of the World Expo named Festa?
Sure enough, the production team of the theatrical version understands One Piece better than Oda!

"You're right!"

Aoki turned his head and looked at the layers of ships on the sea, all kinds of ships that couldn't be seen at a glance, and said: "Then I will trouble you to protect us."

"Of course, I am the [Welcome] of the Desire Pirates, our captain, with a bounty of 7000 million, can naturally provide you with shelter, but there is no free lunch in this world, you need to pay a certain amount of protection fee!"

"Is that so? If the price is reasonable, I will definitely not refuse."

"No kidding, we charge money according to the number of ships and personnel. This ship is considered a large ship. The protection fee is 500 million, and each person receives 300 million. You need to pay 1100 million Baileys!"

Faced with this unfounded charging standard, Aoki didn't show any displeasure at all.

On the contrary, I was very happy in my heart, and asked quickly: "Excuse me, how much money did you collect today?"

"Ha, you are already the sixth ship tonight! To be protected by our Desire Pirates is something that many people dream of."

Hearing this, Aoki's eyes lit up immediately.

six ships?If an average ship pays 1000 million pele, that's 6000 million!

Hey... no!How do I count myself in?
"What's your expression like?"

The members of the Desire Pirates were a little confused.

They also did a lot of things like collecting protection fees.

Those who can catch their eyes are some small pirate groups.

After all, if they received the heads of the Four Emperors one day, wouldn't they be full?
Before boarding a ship with a tattered bow and no decorations on its sails.

They had repeatedly confirmed that the wrecked ship didn't belong to anyone they couldn't deal with.

but……

How does this dark-haired guy feel blackmailed and still laughing?
You can't be a fool, can you?
but……

The members of the Desire Pirates cast a malicious look at Gabi behind Aoki.

This woman...is really beautiful!
