One Piece: Fist of the World

Chapter 176: Share Issue, Greedy Pirates

“So, where can I buy flour like this?”

Minina blinked and looked at the uncle baking bread.

This top-notch ingredient is exactly what she has been looking for.

Weber looked at the uncle with suspicious eyes.

This kind of talk sounds very strange.

It’s almost like attracting people to shop.

"Hahahaha, little brother, look at you, do you think I'm tricking you into buying something?"

The uncle noticed the expression on Weber's face and laughed heartily.

Hearing this, Weber nodded without hesitation. The Sandians didn't have such a frivolous attitude, but that didn't mean that he didn't understand anything.

"This kind of flour is not for sale!"

The uncle patted the small bag of flour in his hand and put it away.

"Golden wheat is the top ingredient, but the yield is not large. It is allocated every year before the wheat is harvested. It's just that we locals will pick up some fallen ears of wheat during harvesting and mix them with other wheat. Processed together into flour, although it cannot reach that quality, it is still very good. "

"It's amazing!"

Minina's eyes shine

Just mixing some ears of wheat with other wheat and the resulting flour is far superior.

How delicious would it be if the flour was completely processed from the so-called golden wheat?

Hearing what this uncle said, Rhodes was also moved in his heart.

You must get this kind of flour!

Not only to satisfy the little chef’s wish, food is also his hobby!

"If my calculations are correct, the wheat here should have just been harvested not long ago."

"Yes, Puji gradually became famous because of [golden] wheat. The food festival here started after the wheat was harvested and processed into flour."

As the uncle spoke, he baked bread again.

There aren’t many wheat ears picked up, so pastry chefs like him will bring this flour mixed with golden wheat to food festivals to offer Puji’s to tourists from all over the world. gourmet food.

"With such a short period of time, the flour should not have been transported yet."

Rhodes said thoughtfully.

"Hahaha, little brother, are you trying to rob me?"

Not knowing what happened to people in this world, Rhodes just changed his hat and put on sunglasses. As a result, no one has recognized his identity until now.

He didn’t even want to disguise himself!

While the bread was baking, the uncle kneaded the dough again.

"Don't be foolish and impulsive!"

"This matter is not a secret. Except for a part of the golden wheat produced by Puji that was designated by the World Government to be handed over, the rest was all kept by Totland, the [All Nations]."

"All nations?"

Minina turned to look at Rhodes.

Bowness is an ascetic who only knows how to practice, Weber has just come down from the sky island, let alone Minina, who only cares about food.

Rhodes became the one responsible for explaining.

"Yonko!"

Rhodes suddenly understood.

Charlotte Lingling, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, is a serious lover of sweets. She will not let go of any delicacies related to desserts in this world.

This [golden wheat] can give the baked bread a more unique texture and taste, and she will never let it go.

The World Government and the Pirate Emperor divided up all the wheat produced by Puki. No wonder this uncle advised him not to make foolish impulses.

This place is already close to the end of the first half of the Great Line, and it is even closer to Judiciary Island. It is a place where the power of the World Government is very powerful. I am afraid that not many people can rob the things of the World Government here and leave.

And the [Yonko] Pirates are existences that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.

However, he is no ordinary person!

Rhodes' thoughts turned and he looked around the town.

They didn't sail over, so even if they took away the things, it wouldn't be easy to put them away.

Grab something and then take the sea train back?

Isn't it a little too crazy?

"The bread is ready!"

The uncle once again placed the steaming bread in front of Rhodes and the others.

"tasty!"

Minina tasted it in small sips, squinting her eyes happily.

Enjoy your food first.

Rhodes also picked up another piece of bread.

···

In the other direction of the food city, a group of pirates occupied a large area and were eating and drinking. There were some well-dressed people around who seemed to be out of place with them at first glance, bringing food to them.

“It’s so delicious!”

Sitting at the top was a burly man with a fierce look. Even though he was sitting there, he was much taller than the others around him. There were several piles of empty plates in front of him.

The big man wiped his mouth, took another dish from the side, opened his mouth and poured it into it.

‘Is this guy a pig? ’

‘No, pigs can’t eat as much as he does! ’

Najib on the side wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the man who poured the food directly into his mouth.

These are delicacies carefully prepared by the chefs. This guy actually poured them directly into his mouth. It was simply an insult to the delicacies!

However, who represents the Sea Emperor?

"Lord Soilo!"

Nagy took two cautious steps forward.

"I have reported the situation to you before. It is true that the wheat harvest is poor this year. We only have this much."

The golden wheat produced by Pukei is divided up by the World Government and the Four Emperors Big Mom Pirates every year. Even they can't eat a bit.

However, the growth of crops depends on the weather. Affected by the climate, the output of wheat fluctuates every year. This has happened in previous years. After confirming that the amount given to both parties is the same, neither the Big Mom Pirates nor the World Government will say anything more.

After all, a mere food city does not have the courage to deceive the World Government or the Four Emperors Pirates.

And whether it is the World Government or the Big Mom Pirates, there will be no conflict over the share of flour. Half for each side is a distribution method that both sides can accept.

This year is the same. After reporting this year's harvest to the officials of the World Government, there was no objection from the other side. They just said that a warship would pass by here in a few days and they would take the things back at that time.

However, the people from the Big Mom Pirates who came to receive the goods this year are a bit difficult to deal with.

Bang!

Soilo slammed the empty plate in his hand on the table, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then turned his head to look at Naji with fierce eyes.

"Is that all?"

A trace of mockery flashed across Soilo's face, and he reached out to grab the pizza next to him.

"Do you think I am not qualified to taste this kind of flour?"

He shook the pizza in front of Naji, and then suddenly threw it on his face. Without waiting for Naji to react, Soilo stretched out his palm and grabbed him and brought him in front of him.

"All the flour that should have been handed over to us is put into the pastries you made!"

"Is it because our BIG·MOM Pirates are not famous enough that you dare to fool me with such words!"

Naji felt that his bones were about to be crushed by the pirate in front of him. Soilo pulled him closer to him, and the hot air from his mouth hit Naji's face. The fishy smell almost made Naji unable to breathe.

"I only give you one day. Tomorrow I want the same share as in previous years!"

Putting the boy who was almost fainted in fear on the ground, Soilo kindly tidied up his messy clothes.

"Now, continue to serve me!"

"Hahaha!"

"That's right, hurry up and serve us all the delicious food!"

"Wine, I want to drink!"

The pirates around shouted loudly and slammed the table excitedly, looking like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Naji stood there, looking at the group of pirates, his face pale.

Not only because of the dull pain of the body pinched by the pirate just now, but more because of the other party's request.

As a government official in the city of food, he knew the actual situation too well.

As the origin of golden wheat, people here spend a lot of time taking care of wheat every year, but in the end they can't eat the crops they carefully planted. They can only pick up some fallen wheat ears and mix them with other wheat for processing. The flour processed in this way is also very good compared with ordinary flour.

The people of the Big Mom Pirates also know about this situation, but the people who come to receive it every year don't care about it at all. It's enough to make sure that the Big Mom Pirates really get half of the share.

However, this new guy this year, he doesn't follow the rules at all!

"Huh? Do you want me to take you back?"

Soilo glanced at Naji who was standing still and made a dissatisfied sound from his nose.

"Lord Soilo, it's really..."

"Don't talk nonsense to me!"

Soilo interrupted Naji.

"I just want things! If there is nothing, it means that we have declared war on our Big Mom Pirates!"

Soilo's face suddenly became ferocious, and the pirates around him all cooperated and looked at Naji with ferocious expressions.

Being watched by these vicious pirates, Naji's face became paler and paler.

"Humph!"

Looking at Naji who staggered away, Soilo showed a sly smile on his face.

He was a pirate who had just joined the Big Mom Pirates not long ago. Before he came here, someone had already explained the situation to him. How could he not know the actual situation here?

However, as a newcomer who had just joined the Big Mom Pirates, he also wanted to do something.

It was obviously the flour that "Mom" liked the most, but he had to share it equally with the World Government. This situation should have changed long ago!

He had already calculated that it was just flour. Even if the Big Mom Pirates took all the flour here, the World Government would not go to war with the Four Emperors because of this little thing.

And if he could get more flour processed from [Golden Wheat] for "Mom", he could really attract the attention of the higher-ups!

Especially adults!

Thinking of that adult, Soilo's heart became even hotter.

It seems that the other party also came to the "Paradise" some time ago!

On the other side, Naji staggered back to the office building.

"How is it, have you contacted them?"

A middle-aged man in uniform was calculating the accounts. He asked without raising his head when he heard the footsteps.

The flour distribution in Puki is fixed, and Naji's job is just to arrange the people of the Big Mom Pirates and explain the situation to them. They have been doing this for so many years, and there will be no accidents.

At most, as a government official, you have to speak to the pirates in a nice way and hand over the wheat you have worked hard to grow to the other side, which makes everyone feel a little depressed.

Hearing Naji's footsteps are a bit heavy, I am afraid he is also very uncomfortable.

However, this is the way the world is. The weak always rely on the strong to survive. People like him have seen through it long ago. Whether it is handed over to the World Government or to the pirates, it is all the same.

After waiting for a long time without a reply, the middle-aged man looked up strangely and saw Naji's pale face and desperate eyes.

"What's wrong?"

The middle-aged man Mora suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Mora Senior!"

Naji looked at the senior, and his eyes gradually regained a trace of clarity.

"They want the same amount of flour as last year."

"What!?"

When Mora heard Naji's words suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It has been more than ten years since he took over this matter. All the flour in Puke has been distributed in this way, and there has never been any abnormality. Why did the pirates suddenly change it?

"What should we do? They only gave us one day."

"It's not a matter of time. Even if we are given another month, we can't make flour."

Mora scratched his head with a headache.

Why did the accident happen this year?

As long as Naji handles things well again this year, he can hand over the matter to Naji completely.

Why did the accident happen in this last year!

"Damn it, pirates are really a bunch of greedy bastards!"

After thinking for a long time and not being able to come up with any solution, Mora couldn't help but swear.

"No matter him, it has been distributed like this for so many years. How can it be changed just because of a word from that fat pig?"

Mora gritted his teeth.

"Besides, the World Government's ship will come the day after tomorrow. I don't believe he dares to do anything!"

Hearing Mora's words, Naji's face became even paler, and the place on his body that was pinched by Soilo before was aching again.

"Will the World Government go to war with the Four Emperors because of such a thing?"

As Naji's voice fell, Mora's face turned pale.

It's just flour. How could the World Government go to war with the Four Emperors because of such a thing!

Also, the fat pig who came this time, although he just joined the Big Mom Pirates recently, he is not an unknown person, but a big pirate with a bounty of 330 million Baileys.

No matter what happens to the Big Mom Pirates and the World Government in the future, the two of them will probably be killed first.

"How about... move a little bit of the World Government's share?"

After a long silence, Mora tentatively spoke.

He could still fool the World Government, or mix in other flour if that didn't work. Even if he was discovered, he could say it was a work error. With the connections he had accumulated over the years, he wouldn't be punished for such a thing.

However, if the pirates' demands were not met, they would really kill people!

Naji looked up and exchanged glances with Mora.

It seemed that this was the only way.
