Chapter 422 Just Like Heaven
"Nicole Robin?"

Sager, who had just come down, was stunned, "What is she doing here?"

"Talk about business."

Hawkins said: "He came five days ago, accompanied by a young girl. There is no need to check, as he has exposed his identity."

He glanced around and whispered to Sager and Lily who followed him, "Revolutionary Army."

Sager raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Interesting, they want to do business with me. Okay, go and make arrangements, and we can talk while eating."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the palace.

Lily thought about it, waved to Jin who was getting off the boat, and said:
"Cover the historical text with a black cloth and put it in the treasury so that no one can see it."

Of course, things that are hard to come by should not be seen by others, especially by a guy like Robin, who was born in O'Hara but is definitely not illiterate.

Not everyone can see the credentials of the Four Emperors.

At this time, an orange-haired woman wearing a short dress, stockings on her legs, high heels, and a hat with goggles was strolling in the streets of Storm City.

She was holding the ice cream in her hand, licking it as she walked, with a very satisfied expression on her face.

Kerla, a cadre of the Revolutionary Army and acting master of Fish-Man Karate, has been here for five days. Except for the first day when he was under guard, he has been able to walk freely here in the following days.

Given the revolutionary army's focus on local intelligence, she would definitely not give up the opportunity to collect intelligence here.

They only knew that the Scourge Pirates were doing well in trade, especially weapons and warships, and it seemed that they also had a lot of food, which were in short supply for the Revolutionary Army.

In addition to trading, Kerla also wanted to find out the information here to prepare for the future.

Most pirates have already taught them a lesson about what life is like for the people under the rule of pirates.

Few people dare to intrude into the territory of the Four Emperors, and the Revolutionary Army will not make enemies for no reason and add a few more terrible enemies on the way to targeting the Celestial Dragons.

But I have heard of it.

Under Big Mom’s rule, people live the best life, but this best life also requires the price of their own lifespan.

The worst case is said to be under Kaido's rule, but no one knows what the situation is like. So far, no one has been able to go to Wano Country.

The easiest thing to explore in the Four Emperors' territory at the moment is information about natural disasters, because he does not prohibit anyone from coming here.

Although the Four Emperors are not their current targets, it is possible to get some information first.

But after arriving, Kerla found something wrong.

Along the way, she listened to Robin talking about her younger brother. Although she didn't know much about him, she was sure that he was a man who was not fussy about details and was heroic, but at the same time he did not hide his demands and greed. He was the most standard pirate who was in line with the times, neither traditional nor innovative.

With a pirate like this, she originally thought that people's lives should be okay, at least they wouldn't feel so bad after seeing him.

But when she really came, many things were beyond Kerla's expectations.

Not bad.
It’s much better!
"How are you, old man?"

Kerla randomly asked an old man who was pushing a cart. The cart was filled with some beautifully crafted handicrafts.

The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Kerla strangely, and did not answer.

"I'm a reporter. I heard that Storm City is the most prosperous city in the world, so I came here to interview you."

Kerla took out a pen and paper with ease, as if he was conducting an interview.

She has used this tactic many times. As long as she pretends to be a reporter, someone will definitely answer her questions.

Sure enough, the old man's eyes lit up, he parked the car, and said with a beaming face: "Are you a reporter? Then you must record it well. You are right, Storm City is this sea, the most prosperous city in the world!"

“Water Seven City and Marijoa are not as good as our Storm City! In my opinion, it’s a waste for the master to be a pirate. I heard that the World Government has a vacant throne. Why don’t we invite our master to sit on it? He deserves to sit on that position!” Then, a series of words of praise came out of the old man’s mouth. His body, which was a little tired just now, straightened up involuntarily, with a face full of pride and confidence.

Words like 'the largest city', 'the ultimate trading place', 'the golden city' all came out of his mouth.

He is obviously just a salesman, and these things seem to have nothing to do with him, but once they are mentioned, it seems that such people can stand tall with pride.

"Don't think I'm tired, but I'm making money. I earn more money based on the work I do. This year, I will definitely earn more than three million Baileys, reaching the fifth tax bracket, and making a contribution to the master!"

The old man was confident and full of expectations for the future, and he imagined:

"I don't want to go to O'Hara's island anymore, it's too expensive, but I can go to other islands. I've already thought of a place. There's an island that produces clay. When the time comes, I'll buy a piece of land there, build a big manor, and take in a few apprentices to pass on my craft. Then I can enjoy life!"

"You are a good-looking woman. Why don't you stop being a reporter? The master's palace is hiring maids and dancers. If my daughter hadn't met the standards, I would have let her go long ago. However, you are free to do whatever you want. You can make money by doing something else. Just stay here."

The old man bared his white teeth and smiled brilliantly: "There must be hope!"

Even though it wasn't the first time Kerla heard this, she was still shocked.

She didn't know why. She had heard words like this countless times. The answer was almost the same every time. And every time, the result made her absolutely sure that she was living a good life here.

No citizen is redundant, no citizen is abandoned. From the bustling Storm City to the surrounding suburbs, everyone has something to do.

It’s not that they aren’t tired. In addition to asking questions verbally, Kerla was also observing. Although she couldn’t enter those factories located in the suburbs, she could see the conditions of the workers coming out of them.

I also sneaked into the doors of some houses late at night and listened carefully to their conversations.

Naturally, some people are tired, some people complain that their work is too heavy and want to do something easier, and then... some people actually change jobs the next day without any obstacles.

She even heard that some people had been lying at home for months until their savings were gone and then they came out to look for a job.

There are all kinds of people: hardworking, lazy, complaining, and those who are dissatisfied with the status quo. But the only thing that does not exist is those who have experienced suffering.

What is bitterness?
Kerla has a lot to say.

She had seen too many countries on the verge of collapse, and people who couldn't even afford to eat because of heavy taxes. The allied countries had heavy jinks, and because of this money some of them lost their citizenship and became savages.

There are also tyrants in non-member countries who collect taxes crazily in order to become members, or who constantly exploit in order to satisfy the selfish desires of the upper aristocracy.

That kind of suffering is the suffering of not having enough food to eat and having no future.

But the suffering here is hard work, it makes money, and it is hopeful.

Everyone has hope, and everyone has gone beyond the most basic state of being full to make plans for their future life.

Kerla liked seeing this and listening to them talk, even over and over again, she would never get bored.

This was a completely new way of life that Kerla had never seen before.

It's like heaven in a dream.
Can this be achieved through trade alone?

Or is it because of not paying the heavenly gold?
She had many questions and wanted to ask Norton Sugg in person.

If the pirates can do it, why can't the Revolutionary Army do the same?

A guy like him, or maybe he can join their revolutionary army
"Oh! The black ship is coming! The master is back!"

The old man who was talking incessantly suddenly stopped, looked at the huge black ship appearing in the harbor in the distance, and even gave up the cart and ran forward briskly.

"Hey! Your cart!"

Kerla was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously pulled up the cart and caught up with the old man.
