They walked towards the city on the island, only to be more surprised as they went.
If they were surprised by the scene at the port just now, they were shocked by the appearance of the city.
In this city, there are two huge and flat asphalt roads, and flat flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the asphalt roads. Some cars and trucks are speeding on these asphalt roads, most of which are trucks. Trucks of goods are pulled from the port and transported to the city.
When they entered the city, they saw high-rise buildings rising from the ground. Under these high-rise buildings were bustling commercial streets, and various shops could be seen everywhere.
There were happy smiles on the faces of the people on the street.
At the end of the street, you can also see the continuous construction of high-rise buildings and houses.
The pirates looked at their dirty clothes, and then looked at the clean and tidy clothes of people on the street, their faces were a little unnatural, as if they were out of tune with the surrounding environment.
At this time, an islander wearing a red hat and a red vest walked towards them with a warm smile on his face.
"Welcome to Green Island, I am Abu, the guide on the island, who can provide services for you. You can ask me any questions you have, and you can ask me wherever you want to go. If you feel that I am doing well, you can Give me a tip as a reward!"
The captain said to Abu without thinking: "Okay, we just need a guide, we want to go to the bar, can you take us there?"
"no problem!"
"On the way there, Abu, you also tell us what happened to this island. How could there be such a big change?"
Abu said proudly: "No problem, Green Island used to be a famous war island, and it only started to change when we joined the command of Lord Chenos.
Lord Chenos brought a lot of funds and materials to rebuild the island, and issued a decree, as long as you obey the decree, you can live peacefully on this island.
Most of the decree is about crime, as long as you don't commit crimes on this island and work hard, you can live well! "
The captain asked the guide in surprise: "Since Chenos has invested a lot of money and materials, he must want to earn it back. His exploitation of you should also be serious, right?"
The guide laughed, "Master Chenos will not exploit us, Master Chenos said, because he is rebuilding the island, he will charge every adult tax, but the tax he charges is only Only ten percent of our income.
Of course, this is a charge for low-income people. For some merchants, Lord Chenos will charge a higher tax, but the maximum will not exceed 30%, generally 15% to 10%. between twenty.
And the tax we were charged before was... 90 percent! "
The captain exclaimed: "How is this possible? The money needed to build a city like this is unimaginable. Chenos will definitely earn it back. How could he set such a low tax?"
The 90% tax that Abu said just now is actually the tax collected by most of the islands and countries in the outside world. After a year, basically the food or wealth left by the islanders can only keep people alive. .
As for the merchants, it will be a little less, but at least 30% of the tax is charged, but here in Chenos, people only charge 30%!
Compared to other places, this place is simply heaven!
"Although it's been a long time, I still feel like I'm in a dream, because everything here is too dreamy, it's just the paradise I've dreamed of, we can have all this now, all thanks to the grace of Lord Chenos! "
Chapter 441 Heaven in the Pirate World (2)
The longer you stay on Green Island, the greater the shock to the captain. It seems that what countless people in this world yearn for but cannot obtain can be easily obtained here.
The group of people who were in shock didn't say anything, but quietly observed the smiling islanders around them.
Seeing that children can play on the street without having to help adults with work;
Looking at the eyes of the adults are full of hope, and there is no panic;
Watching the islanders see the appearance of these pirates, there is no fear on their faces!
Such islanders have never met before!
After arriving at the bar, they found that the pirates here seemed to have changed their appearance. They didn't drink and make troubles like they did on other islands. Most people were just chatting and farting.
And these pirates have also become very polite. Even if some pirates accidentally bump into other people, if they are in other places, it is estimated that these pirates have already started fighting.
But on this island, the pirate who bumped into someone actually took the initiative to apologize, and the pirate who was bumped into was also very generous and said that he was fine.
After seeing this scene, the captain and his party were stunned!
You must know that the most unruly people in this world are pirates. They completely ignore the feelings of others and kill and loot everywhere, completely ignoring the existence of the law.
If you want them to abide by the rules, it's harder than going to the sky.
At this moment, a group of pirates appeared behind them and pushed them away.
"Is there a corpse at the door? Go away!"
The pirates under the captain wanted to go up and teach the pirates, but were suppressed by the captain.
He rolled his eyes, and immediately smiled at the pirates: "I'm sorry, please go first!"
After speaking, the captain also took the initiative to move out of the way and let the pirates in.
It's just that the pirates saw that the captain was so cowardly, looked at each other and laughed!
The headed man grinned at the captain and said, "Oh, just say sorry? If you want to apologize, then take out all the money on your body!"
The captain looked at the pirates silently. Couldn't these guys observe the unusual atmosphere on the island?
Didn't you see that all the pirates in the bar became cute?
He looked at the pirates in the bar, and found that the people in the bar were looking at the pirate who was blackmailing him with pity.
call-
At this time, a robot fell from the sky and landed between the captain and the pirate. The robot's eyes scanned the pirate and said, "Ano, the ghost sword, with a bounty of 80 million Bailey, because you did not obey the rules of Green Island. Rules, words to blackmail other people on the island, I will warn you once.
If you do it again next time, shoot to kill! "
Ghost Sword Anuo showed disdain, and stabbed the robot with a sword, directly piercing the robot's chest.
"My goal is to defeat Chenos, how can it be possible to abide by the rules set by Chenos, ridiculous!"
The pirates in the bar all widened their eyes and looked at the ghost sword Arno in disbelief.
"Ghost Sword Arno? This guy is a supernova who has just entered the new world recently!"
"What about supernova? This is Chenos' territory, and this guy is courting death!"
"This guy has two strokes. The sword he swung just now, I can't see the trajectory of his swing at all!"
"Haha, there is a good show to watch!"
"This guy has a bounty of 80 million, and he is considered a strong man. I just don't know how long this guy can last under the attack of these robots!"
The robot looked down at his pierced chest, and his eyes flashed red!
"Dip! After the warning, take the initiative to attack the machine guards and violate the laws of the island, you can kill them!"
As soon as the robot finished speaking, Arnold swung his sword again and chopped the robot in half!
The robot, which was separated into two parts, showed a humanized smile on its face, and said to Arnold, "Good luck!"
In the next second, more than a dozen robots appeared in the air, all of them staring at Arnold with red lights in their eyes.
It's just that these robots did not swarm up, but a robot appeared from it and attacked Arnold. Although these robots did not have any expressions or said anything, it still made Arnold feel that these robots were despising him, which also made Arnold feel that these robots were despising him. He was furious.
But in the next moment, the robot's speed was astonishingly fast, and it instantly appeared beside Arnold.
The speed of the robot was so fast that Arnold had no time to dodge. He was pierced by the robot's sword and died on the spot!
"This... how is this possible?"
"Fuck, these robots are also ridiculously strong, aren't they?"
"The big pirate with a bounty of 80 million was actually killed by a sword?"
…
The captain and his party felt even more incredible after seeing that the robots killed Arnold in seconds.
But then they also reacted. If these robots were not so powerful and terrifying, the pirates in the bar would not have become so well-behaved.
After the robot left with Arno's body, the surrounding voices appeared again, and the bar began to talk about what happened just now.
"If these robots can be mass-produced, it won't be long before Chenos can overthrow the world government and become the king of the world with these robots!"
"These robots are mass-produced. Now all the islands under Chenos' command are guarded by these robots, and there are at least several thousand in number."
"Fuck, why didn't Chenos take action to overthrow the World Government?"
"Who knows, what are these big people thinking, how can we little people know!"
The captain and the pirate crew were deeply shocked after listening to the words of the people around them.
On the island of Chenos, it should be the happiest island, and it is also the most suitable for ordinary people to live here. As long as the laws made by Chenos are not violated, then everything is so happy.
There is food to eat, clothes to wear, a place to live, loose living conditions, and strong robot protection.
The captain's two pirate crew members immediately told the captain that they wanted to leave the pirate ship, to live on this island, and to bring their family over to live together in this paradise-like place.
If the previous captain heard that a member was about to quit the pirate group, he would probably have been furious and slaughtered the other party immediately, but now he was not angry. After thinking for a while, he said to the crew: "Our sea The band of thieves has been disbanded, and I also want to live the life of an ordinary person!"
After the members of the pirate group heard the captain's decision, they did not dissuade them, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
If you can live a stable life, as long as you work hard, you can eat and clothe yourself, who wants to live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife?
In fact, it is not just the captain of the pirate group. After many pirate groups came to the island of Chenos, they were unwilling to continue to be pirates, but chose to disband the pirate group and become residents of the island.
Not only some pirates who came and went, but the islanders of other islands in the New World heard that Chenos could live a peaceful and stable life, and they all tried their best to come to the island of Chenos to survive.
After there were many people who wanted to leave the original island, there was a smuggling craze in the new world!
Chapter 442 Even if Chenos is not here, we can't fight
Shanks was on his way back to the New World from the East China Sea. After he successfully achieved his goal this time, he was in a very happy mood and was bringing his men to a party.
The members of the boat were all playing happily, but the second-in-command Beckman and Marko did not drink with the other members, but discussed something with solemn expressions.
After Shanks saw it, he walked towards the two of them with a smile and a drink.
"Beckman, Marco, are the two of you hiding in the corner and talking about a little secret? Come and have a drink with everyone!"
Looking at Shanks who looked heartless, Beckman and Marko ignored him and continued to discuss.
"...Now our islands are beginning to see islanders fleeing to the islands under Chenos' command, and there will only be more and more in the future. If we don't stop them, it won't be long before our islands will be empty. Without one, our pirate group will have no source of income at that time!"
"Stop it? How to stop it? Chenos has so much money to build his island and improve the lives of the islanders, where do we get so much money?
And Chenos spent a lot of money to build infrastructure for those islanders, but also weakened the tax revenue. If we do the same, it is estimated that we will be bankrupt in a short time, and we will have no money by then. It is impossible to keep the islanders under our command! "
After Shanks heard the conversation between the two, he looked at the two with a bewildered expression.
"What are you talking about? What kind of islanders escaped from Chenos' islands, what bankruptcy? What the **** happened?"
Beckman glanced at Shanks reluctantly. Shanks is definitely a genius in terms of domineering, and he has great wisdom, but he is not good in other aspects, especially finance and people's livelihood. Basically, Shanks has never touched it. Even as one of the four emperors, he is still a pauper.
He had reported this issue to Shanks before, but when Shanks heard that it was a financial and people's livelihood issue, he had a headache and left the problem to Beckman.
After he mentioned these issues to Shanks again, Shanks interrupted Beckman with a headache.
"Beckman, I'll leave these issues to you. Anyway, I don't understand these issues. If you let me decide, it will only make the issue more complicated!"
As soon as Shanks finished speaking, he planned to run back to have a drinking party with the other members, but was caught by Beckman.
Beckman solemnly said to Shanks: "This time you have to listen, and you have to discuss with us what to do, otherwise the foundation of our pirate group will likely be hollowed out by Chenos. !"
"so serious?"
Looking at the solemn expressions of Beckman and Marko, Shankston became serious.
Beckman explained the current situation to Shanks in detail, and after Shanks listened carefully, he could not help frowning.
"Chenos has been transforming the islands under his command before. Everyone in the new world knows this. At that time, they were still laughing at Chenos, who was willing to spend so much money on the islanders. Just a waste.
Now it seems that these are all conspiracies of Chenos!
It's just that Chenos has transformed the island very well, so that the islanders under his command have food, clothes, houses to live in, and strong robot protection, which we are barely able to do.
But everyone is afraid of comparison. If we want to do this, we need a lot of money to build and transform. If we want to transform, we need to spend a lot of money, and we have just spent a lot of money. Now the whole pirate The group didn't have much savings left.
If you want money, the first way is to increase taxes and take some of the money out of the hands of the islanders, but if we do this, it is estimated that the islanders will run faster. Taxes are just that.
If we don't increase taxes, if we want to get a lot of money in a short period of time, we can only rob other forces! "
Shanks shook his head, disagreeing with Beckman's suggestion.
"Who can we **** now? When we came to the East China Sea, Chenos' subordinates took down a large number of underground forces and brought these forces into his subordinates.
If Chenos didn't come to **** us, we would be thankful, we couldn't **** them at all, that would be courting death!
As for Kaido and Auntie, the two are spending a lot of money to build Hades. This is almost known to the whole world. Now that money is estimated to have become equipment, and we won't be able to grab anything. money.
Not to mention the navy. They just got a lot of money from Chenos. They are poorer than us now, and they can't rob them of any money.
