My friends are all pirates Author: Digital Laomo

Summary:

In ancient times, the "Santo River" on the island of San Ding gave birth to the establishment of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

In ancient times, the ancient weapon "Pluto" was born on Shipbuilding Island.

In an unknown period, the lunar people came to this blue planet due to lack of resources.

800 years ago, the world government was established, and the nobles of the world have lived in the holy land of Mariejoia since then. They proudly declared that our family will last forever, our house will last forever, and we will use our own name to own the land.

But human dignity cannot be eternal, just like the death of animals.

800 years later, a traveler came, and he looked around.

"The flag will fall when it stands, I am familiar with this!"

PS: Because the original setting is more focused on the individual rather than the collective, the environmental setting has borrowed from the Blue Star Great Voyage Era to supplement some low-level designs to facilitate the development of the plot.

This book is the second part of the Migrant Workers Trilogy

sequence

There is only one continent in this world.

The continent composed of towering mountains simply and rudely divides the world into two sides, known as the Red Earth Continent.

The equatorial region is under the protection of an area called the "quiet belt", and divides the world into four oceans in the name of the great waterway together with the red earth continent.

In the heroic laughter of a great pirate before his death, in less than ten years, people have fully realized the fact that the world government does not own the whole world, and called the second half of the great channel the New World, It means that it is completely free from the supervision of the world government.

But it is still a part of the great waterway. To enter the new world, you must first enter the great waterway.

On the bright side, the Upside Down Mountain is the only way for all illegals to enter the great waterway, and then follow the guidance of the magnetic force to sail to the other side of the planet, and once again pass through the red earth continent, they can reach this sea area called "New World" .

Its end point is Ralph Drew, the place countless people want to reach.

The Great Channel and the New World, Ralph Drew and One Piece are already known to everyone in this world.

But most people have never even seen what the Upside Down Mountain looks like.

Ya Sherid has never seen it either, he has never left the island where he is, let alone the Upside Down Mountain, he has traveled to this world for almost ten years, and he has never even seen a navy.

All he saw was pirates.

By the way, this island is covered by people.

The person who covers it is called Neferutari Cobra.

Strictly speaking, the island where Asherid is located can be considered the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

This kingdom established on the island of Saint Dinge has a long history, and its national strength ranks among the best among the many countries that have joined the world government. It is a superpower in the first half of the great waterway.

Of course, Asherid couldn't see the navy anymore. The island of Sint Dinne, with a population of tens of millions, was too eye-catching and too big. The navy didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to the little ones nearby.

As for the reason why Asherid only sees pirates, it is even simpler - this world is made up of islands, and if there are too many people, there will be pirates.

Pirates did not just emerge in the era of great pirates. Pirate culture has a long history in this world. Roger is not the first pirate to attack the authority of the world government, but he is the most ruthless one so far.

In this world made up of islands, pirates are everywhere.

For those who are not content with the status quo, the main obstacle preventing them from becoming pirates does not come from the deterrence of the government but is limited by their own abilities.

Many criminals will indeed run to become pirates. After all, as long as the luck is not too bad, the vast enough sea can shelter anyone from being chased by the judicial authorities.

But their proportion in the entire pirate group is actually not large.

Going to sea is still a technical job. Unless you are a son of a plane or a son of a plane takes you to fly, various "good families" are the main source of pirates.

For example, when the financial situation is not good, the nobles will recruit people to do some sideline business at sea, and the descendants of the nobles who have received higher education but have no inheritance rights are willing to become pirates in order to obtain enough entrepreneurial capital.

In principle, sailors with rich sea experience are not opposed to being recruited by various pirate groups-owners of merchant ships will always try their best to squeeze the value of sailors in order to maximize profits. This is not counting the captains of some merchant ships Prefers to assert their authority through violence or abuse.

Soldiers who have been dismissed by the country in peacetime face the dilemma of a sudden drop in income. They will also be recruited by the Pirates if the conditions are right. They have better tactical literacy and navigation skills, can guide ships to sail thousands of miles away, and are proficient in The operation of various weapons is the favorite of all pirate groups.

Even slaves would expect to meet pirate ships at sea—if they could become a pirate, they would be considered free again.

This is a highly hierarchical world. If you are unwilling to accept the status quo and are willing to take risks for it, you can only find your own way. Being a pirate is not a bad choice.

But even if they choose this path, most people don't want to be a pirate forever, just think of it as a short-term side hustle to improve their financial situation.

The fellow villagers in Yasherid would use words like "I'm going to keep the accounts" to describe their zero-dollar purchases at sea.

And they have a good sideline environment.

The current king of Alabasta, Neferutali Cobra, has a very high tolerance for the people. Under his influence, even if the officials of this kingdom know that some people under his rule have gone to sea to make a fortune, as long as they don’t If you harm your own land and business, you will treat it as if you didn't see it.

This is probably, probably, because pirates always need to constantly replenish and cash out their loot. For those areas with underdeveloped economies and shortages of supplies, the goods brought by pirate ships are very popular with local officials. The consumption power of the pirates is an important supplement to the personal income of the local government and residents. If the pirates who come to trade not only do not threaten the local life but also help protect this place, then they are completely good friends in the eyes of officials and the public.

And most of the pirates are really serious when they sell stolen goods and supplies.

As a bystander, Asherid can clearly feel the changes brought about by the era of great pirates to the surrounding environment—the number of people who admire the life of pirates is increasing day by day, and most of them expect to be freed from heavy labor and social constraints People, they regard those prestigious big pirates as men who are full of romance and have the courage to create their lives.

Beyond the law and the government, pursuing wealth, enjoying joy and adventure are these people's beautiful imagination of pirate life before they officially enter the industry, and it drives them to finally join this industry and become a part of the era of great pirates.

Asherid has never imagined the life of a pirate as beautiful as he thought, but he is also not as optimistic about the future of Alabasta as the people around him.

The society of the Alabasta Kingdom is still very stable at present, but according to the age of the princess in this country, Asherid roughly judges that it should be about ten years before Wang Lufei goes to sea.

Ten years later, the era of great pirates has entered its golden age. The four giant pirates have basically divided up the second half of the great channel. The world is recruiting troops, and the intensity of confrontation on the sea has also reached the extreme.

All these years, Ah Sherid has been working hard to develop.

His current parents can’t rely on them. After a trip to the sea to build a team, there are no more. Asherid relies on most of his work, or he is doing pirates, or he will do it once he feels that the family’s financial difficulties are more difficult. The childhood of the pirate's neighbors.

After years of development, his result was to become a blacksmith.

The blacksmith's shop was remodeled from a house.

Forging the iron, Ah Sherid is very confident.

Since its opening half a year ago, although the orders it received were all for gadgets, it was still in business.

The location of his shop is good, just beside the main road of the town, there are people coming and going, including local residents, businessmen from outer islands, and many sailors coming from the port.

For a person engaged in a handicraft industry in a coastal area, the bulk of the income often comes from those who go to sea with a salary level that far exceeds that of ordinary people. It doesn't matter whether the other party is a pirate or not.

The location of Yasherid's house is already quite close to the port.

In the era of great pirates, pirates from all over the world poured into the great waterway continuously after the survival of the fittest. The first half of the great waterway became a place where pirates gathered densely, especially the first section of the waterway near the inverted mountain, who had just entered the great waterway. Out of the need to establish their land contacts as soon as possible, pirates are more friendly to the port towns they pass by.

From a practical point of view, in addition to supplies, pirate ships also need hull maintenance and repairs. Most of the crew are all human beings. They are land creatures. They have to go ashore to rest, have fun or buy their favorite products. Well, although pirates do robbery, they are also part of society and have the desire to consume.

The island where Asherid is located is such a place. He has lived here for many years, and he has visited the port a lot.

On another sunny day, Acherid sat at the door, expecting business to come.

He calculated the passing frequency of foreign sailors, and thought that the passenger flow at the port today should be quite large.

Compared with making living tools for fellow villagers, doing business with foreign sailors is more profitable.

"Asherid, you kid haven't given up yet?"

A hoarse, uncomfortable voice came into Asherid's ears.

But the voice did not bring any discomfort to Asherid.

Only cordial.

"Uncle Trot." Asherid turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who came out of the next house with a smile.

The appearance of this middle-aged man is definitely not good. More than half of his face has severe burn marks, which spread all the way to the collar of his clothes.

A hoarse voice is caused by an incurable injury to the vocal cords.

But he also had more trauma in every sense of the word—he was missing an arm.

Half of the sleeves were empty, and he tied them up directly to prevent them from dangling.

"As I said earlier, if you want to make a lot of money, go to Henry's. Isn't that better than tossing around by yourself?"

"Uncle Trott, since the relationship between you and Uncle Henry is so good, why don't you introduce me so that Uncle Henry and his crew come to visit me?"

"You know your master is also on board, right?"

Because of the scars, Trot laughed ferociously, and he said, "You'd better go to Henry and be a crew member. You know the rules on the ship anyway."

Asherid naturally knew what Trot said was a good intention.

"I see, Uncle, I will think about it." Asherid said to Trott, "But I think I can make more preparations."

Chapter 1 Ysera and the Brotherhood of the Shore

Ysera is the name of the island where Asherid is located.

The size of this island is not large, and it is not ranked at all among the livable islands in the great waterway.

Ten years ago, Ysera was a completely unremarkable place, and it had not yet been protected by the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Geographical knowledge such as plate theory, division of monsoon ocean current belts, and climate zones on the blue star is absolutely not suitable for this world, but in terms of regional geography, meteorology, and a series of navigation knowledge, although there are still differences, from Basically, it is still the same as the basic rules of Blue Star.

According to the rules of the great waterway, since the four season islands will produce sixteen different climates, the sea climate in the crossing area is always changing and unpredictable, and it is necessary to rely on the record pointer or permanent pointer to pass through these weird and unpredictable crossing areas , only when approaching a certain quarter island will you encounter a stable climate.

This seasonal island effect prevents most islands from being truly self-sufficient. Places where people live together will inevitably generate trade demand, and when the scale of trade reaches a certain level, towns will be formed.

The residents of Isera Island were originally a group of peaceful people, mainly relying on hunting and selling processed meat products to passing ships to obtain supplies from the outside world.

With the opening of the era of great pirates, towns were established on this island.

However, the Magnetic Drum Kingdom was angry at this fast-growing settlement. The pirates who caused serious damage to the kingdom not only maintained and replenished the hull here, but later, they even sold stolen goods here, which made the Magnetic Drum King It is believed that destroying this "evil place" can be very effective in combating pirates' activities in the Drum Kingdom.

The Drum Kingdom is small and few people, but the royal family is very rich. At the same time, as a frequent visitor to the World Conference, the royal family is also very well-connected. A ship group was organized with the employment order signed by the king, about 22 people Sailors and soldiers responded to the royal enlistment, and they brought a total of [-] ships, carrying a large number of artillery.

The fleet arrived at Isera at dawn. According to the request of the employer, it started killing amidst the roar of artillery fire. When the houses near the sea were turned into ruins, the soldiers adjusted their shooting angles and continued to bombard the distance without mercy. areas farther from shore.

That night, no one could sleep, because the wailing from the shore was overwhelming, and it seemed that someone was singing beside the corpses washed ashore by the sea.

The captains unanimously decided not to land until morning, but by then the survivors had gone into the forest.

In this operation, far more civilians died than pirates. The fleet lost control in this bottomless killing, and some of the ships even went to the waters near Sintin Island to rob, so it was killed by the magnetic drum. The kingdom was disbanded urgently, and its mission was hastily ended.

If it doesn't disband, the Kingdom of Alabasta will go crazy, and it's not impossible to directly stage a real-life PK at the upcoming world conference.

The Drum Kingdom has never done anything similar since then, but the survivors of Ysera have decided to take the Drum Man as one of their future hunting targets. Together, it is the hatred for the Drum Kingdom, the loyalty to each other and the common cultural traditions.

Over the years, Ysera has become more prosperous than before, and trading with passing ships is still the main way for it to obtain wealth. Not only does it have a serious port, but it has also established a dry dock.

In the afternoon of this day a sloop entered the harbour.

This is a common load ship with smooth hull lines, shallow draft, fast speed, and easy handling. It can sail in both deep seas and narrow waterways along the coast. All these characteristics also make them a A favorite of pirates.

The port management staff took a look from a distance, and arranged a group of staff and unloading personnel to wait on the beach outside the pier as usual.

Crews quickly took their positions on the beach and signaled the ship, and they waited for the ship's crew to drop anchor, put the cargo on the long boat attached to the ship, and then paddle to the beach.

In the distance, the sailboat dropped anchor and released the longboat.

As the big boat progressed, the port staff saw the man standing at the front of the big boat, and everyone recognized him.

That was Henry who went out of the town, and Henry was a member of the Brotherhood of the Coast, and he was the best captain in the Brotherhood of the Coast of this generation.

As a result, he became "other people's child" in the town.

But he is not a child at all, he is almost forty this year, and he has a lot of hair.

This person has been very good at talking since he was a child, he has a good ventriloquism, and he is a good shooter.

The large boat carrying the cargo was rowed into the shallow water area of ​​the beach, the bottom of the boat touched the sand layer under the water, and stopped.

Henry jumped off the big boat and walked towards the front staff. Several crew members who disembarked with him stayed on the side of the big boat, and they began to cooperate with the staff to handle the goods.

The helmsman is also among them. He needs to calculate the net income obtained after handling the goods and complete the distribution.

It's not an easy job, but it's one of his main jobs.

Henry walked onto the beach alone.

"Henry, you haven't been back for a long time." A man whose hair was not inferior to his was walking towards Henry.

"Boss, how are you at home?" Henry hugged each other warmly.
