Chapter 443 One Piece ([-])

Five years later

The summer of the sixth year of Yanhou 160 (376 years)
Spice Sea (Southeast Asia Archipelago)
On the route between Lanfang City and Banana City (Manila), there are spice merchant ships passing by from time to time.

Today, a medium-sized pirate ship, plus four small pirate ships appeared here.

"Tianzun, Yan Kingdom's naval fleet has been patrolling frequently recently. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us to appear on the spice route so blatantly."

On the boat, a young man respectfully spoke to an old man in Taoist robes next to him.

The young man's name was Sun Tai, a descendant of Sun Xiu, a poisoner, but his family had already declined. Later, during the Wangdun Rebellion, his father became a refugee and was kidnapped and sold to the Taoyuan Guild by ranger bandits in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Afterwards, his father became the chief bookkeeper (accountant) of the Taoyuan Guild by relying on his calculation ability, and gave birth to his elder brother with a Han girl, and gave birth to him a few years later.

Later, his father was found embezzling the property of the guild, so he was arrested and imprisoned, and then he was exiled to the Spice Islands to become a wasteland slave.

Ten-year-old Sun Tai was taken by his brother to travel all over the world, and finally met the captain of the Xingfan pirate ship "Feng Tianzun" who was robbing the rich and helping the poor. He was taken in by him and became a pirate who ravaged the Spice Sea. Ten years.

His elder brother was unfortunately seriously injured when he hijacked the spice merchant ship of the Taoyuan Guild last time. After holding on for several years, the wound still festered and died.

At that time, his sister-in-law was pregnant, so he took care of the child born to his sister-in-law and named him Sun En.

As for this Sun En, he is only six years old now.

There are many undiscovered and undeveloped islands in the Spice Islands, so after each robbery, they hide on a certain island, and the navy of the Yan State government can't find them at all.

After Yan's navy left, they left the island where they were hiding and reappeared on the spice route to plunder merchant ships, which caused headaches for all the nobles and guilds of Yan.

And the person in charge of directing all these actions is the old man in Taoist robes in front of him. No one knows his name, but he believes in [Hongyan Dao], and he calls himself Feng Tianzun. For decades, he was the most wanted criminal in Yan State.

After they robbed the spices in the spice sea area, they would arrive at Panyu County (Guangzhou City), Nanhai County, Jiaozhou, Jin State via the Linyiguo route, sell the spices to the Jin people, and then take most of the money they earned to maintain pirate ships and Expand the scale of the pirates and maintain the daily life of the pirates, and the remaining small part is given to the poor poor people in Yan State.

They come and go, often disguised as ordinary people, with huge wealth, and at night, put these wealth on the doorstep of the poor.

It is worth mentioning that although there are many poor people in the country of Yan, there are no beggars, because all beggars have been arrested and opened up wasteland.

In Yan State, begging beggars is an illegal and criminal act, and the government of Yan State will directly arrest beggars, prohibit beggars from affecting the appearance of the city, and then degrade beggars into slaves, and finally sell them to guilds or nobles.

So it's not that they don't want to help poorer beggars, it's that there are no beggars to help.

It is also because of this that the poor people in the country of Yan sing praises to Feng Tianzun. Feng Tianzun has a very high status in the hearts of the people of the country of Yan, like a savior.

In order to destroy Feng Tianzun's image, the Yan government also took some measures, such as letting officers and soldiers disguise themselves as pirates and rob their own people under Feng Tianzun's name, making the people hate Feng Tianzun.

I know you don't rob the people, and you know that I am the one who robs the people, but what the people see is that you are robbing them.

In the propaganda of the Yan State government, Feng Tianzun is a heinous man with copper skin and iron bones, three heads and six arms, who can call wind and rain, and rapes [-] girls every day. The supervillain of internal communism and wife.

However, the reality is that Feng Tianzun is just an amiable old man in Taoist robes. His beliefs allow him to rob the rich and help the poor. His beliefs make him vow to overthrow the Yan Kingdom, and even overthrow all dynasties in the whole world, and establish a beautiful world. Heaven on earth.

However, this is only his belief, not the belief of all pirates.

The rest of the pirates often complained about Feng Tianzun giving away the money earned from robbing to the poor. They just wanted to live a good life for themselves, and at most they wanted to let their family members live a good life too. Relationship poor, relief a hammer.

"There is a saying in "Luoyuejing": Luoxi, baa, and silence." Feng Tianzun recited the truth of salvation summed up by the sages of Hongyan Dao in the past. This is the sages of Hongyan Dao. The sentiments written after the brutal suppression are similar to Zhou Wenwang who wrote the "Book of Changes" after seeing the scene of the Yin merchants' sacrifice, describing the terrifying customs of the Yin merchants' living sacrifices, and also described the Zhou people's sacrifice. How to correctly resist the tyranny of Yin and Shang.

Looking at the normal pirates on board who had no ideals and only wanted to get rich by robbing, he felt a little lonely. What if after his death, the new captain could not inherit his great ideals and was unwilling to continue robbing the rich and helping the poor?
Among the crowd, only the little pirate Sun En, who had just turned six years old, was jumping around on the pirate ship, pointing at the stars and the sea and saying, "I am the man who is going to be the King of Pirates!"

woohoo-

The waves beat, and a lot of sea water slapped on the deck. The little boy Sun En was splashed by the sea water, and a sea crab was rolled onto the deck by the waves. He burst into tears.

"Haha, a crybaby can't be the One Piece King!" Seeing this, some pirates joked and said, "If you want to become the One Piece King, you must defeat that crab first."

At this moment, the Yan State Navy patrolled the sea area.

"No, it's the government's navy, run!" Sun Tai was shocked, and quickly ordered the pirates to turn the rudder and sail, and fled towards the unknown waters in the south of the Spice Islands.

The unknown sea area in the south of the Spice Islands, where there are dense volcanoes and active volcanoes, is a place beyond the control of the Yan Kingdom for the time being, so it has become a hiding place for pirates.

(The unknown sea where the pirates are hiding is actually the sea near Java Island.)
Compared with fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, Yan State is more concerned about eradicating pirates. After all, no matter how the regime changes in the Central Plains, it will not affect Yan State’s trade and profit.

Although the Yan State court knew that it had no popular support, it did not allow the Xingfan Pirates to rob the rich and help the poor so blatantly and compete for the support of the people.

Relying on being familiar with the sea area, the pirate ship Xingfan and the other four pirate ships successfully escaped into the unknown sea area. Feng Tianzun named the sea area "Xing Fan Sea" and named the two large islands in that sea area "Xing Fan Sea". Island (Sumatra)” and “Fan Island (Java)”.

Yan Guo's navy is afraid to enter this sea area for the time being, fearing that they will be stranded on coral reefs because they are not familiar with the sea area, and then the pirates will take the opportunity to counterattack.

After returning to the Xingfan Sea Area, Feng Tianzun, Sun Tai, Sun En and others entered the pirate base they built - Xingfan City (Jakarta).

There are thousands of short black aborigines living here, and more than 200 Han people who were captured by them. The so-called city is actually a village, with residents in the innermost part, and wooden fences and wooden watchtowers outside. On the outermost layer, there are stone walls half a person's height and trenches half a person's depth.

Some of the pirates served as soldiers for the Yan State court for several years, so they are very familiar with Yan State's land reclamation mode, and use Yan State's land reclamation mode to build their own bases.

However, one difference is that under Feng Tianzun's rule, the immigrant Han people and the local aboriginals are equal, and everyone is not a slave, so they can rest, and they don't have to work until they are exhausted like Yan Guo opened up wasteland.

It is also because of this that Feng Tianzun's land reclamation efficiency is far inferior to that of the Yan Kingdom's court. His people have to rest and work at every turn. With the same number of people, the land reclamation efficiency is far lower than that of the Yan Kingdom's court.

But Feng Tianzun would not enslave these poor people in order to improve work efficiency. In that case, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

For him, the purpose of increasing productivity is to make the people happier. If it is necessary to sacrifice the happiness of the people to increase productivity, it is better not to increase it.
