My friends are all pirates

Still, there is something less prosaic here, and that is a procession of wretched people, from the street door to the alley, sick poor, bloody People, crooked people, emaciated women, filthy drunks with dry coughs, and children who just got pox.

These people come from a filthy empire whose tentacles have already extended into slums everywhere, and here, the stinking streets are full of garbage left by humans and animals, and there are skirts to attract sailors Sexy prostitutes, thieves and screaming cats watch from the sidelines.

Granville Sharp was superficially numb to this vision of seeing the big picture from a young age.

Most evenings, the Granville siblings gather at the home of their older brother, William. For most, the practice of medicine means setting broken bones, piercing skulls, and distributing medicines to those affected by pox, but William His medical skills are very superb, so he is respected by gang members. However, he has not forgotten those humble people and will provide free medical treatment to the poor.

When Sharpe arrived at his brother William's clinic, he saw that his brother was treating a "black bird".

Unsurprisingly, Sharp first found a place to sit down by himself, and then waited quietly.

Chapter 160 Five Return to Shambord Land

Blackbird is the collective name of the locals of Chambord for the black households scattered in every corner of the illegal area. There are at least 5000 people, and there may be as many as [-].

Some of these people lived in mansions, wore decent embroidered jackets, silk breeches, like ornaments, and served as squires or personal servants to the upper class, but many more lived in rooms with only four walls. They lived in the company of vermin, mostly sailors, bargemen, coachmen, stevedores, and some outright escaped slaves who would go to underground fist fights or take up some very mobile temporary work to support themselves and cause trouble. It is the first impression of the blackbirds.

However, "Blackbird", who was being treated by William at this time, looked very miserable, with most of his face gone.

Violence is everywhere in the lawless zone.

For example, in Chambord, slave owners don’t have to worry about their behavior being criticized by their neighbors, so they beat their slaves half to death for trivial things. On the road, you can often see listless cart slaves being mercilessly beaten with whips. Eventually fell to their deaths, vagrant beggars were whipped until their backs turned into steaks, felons on display were stoned and sometimes died instantly, servants, male and female, were often punched in public Beating and kicking, children will also be beaten for disobedience or mischief. As for the man caught by the arresting team, he will also be beaten with sticks before being dragged to the waiting boat.

Sharp listened to his brother being treated while communicating with this "black bird", and soon knew why this unlucky ghost fell into this field.

This is a castaway slave.

The wound on his face was caused by repeated beatings by the old owner with the handle of the pistol, until the muzzle fell off the gun body, his face had turned into a mass of scarlet meat paste, and his eyes were blurred with blood so that he could not see anything Finally, seeing that there was no place to attack him, the master threw him into the street and left him to fend for himself.

The black bird got up again after the owner left, limped to William's clinic, joined the team full of diseases and injuries, and patiently waited in line.

Based on his experience, Sharp judged that this man would be crippled even if his legs were healed, and his eyesight was even less likely to return to normal, but he was still in good health, and he might be able to run errands for him.

Especially recently, he has a new task, and the existing manpower alone is really too busy.

He remembered the man's name.

Joe.

Slave has a name, not bad.

When Joe left the clinic, barely able to walk or see, Sharpe gave him something to wash his eyes and money for necessities.

The next day, when Joe returned to the clinic, Sharpe took him to the hospital this time, paid for his four and a half months of hospitalization, and bought him new clothes, shoes, and socks.

It didn't take four and a half months for Joe to become Sharp's brother.

Now that he had asked for help, the big brother Sharp certainly couldn’t be stingy. He immediately said that after Joe was discharged from the hospital, he could go to work with a pharmacist named Brown. This person provided most of the medicine, splints and bandages for William’s operation. Yes, and Joe's job was to run errands for Brown, picking up medical supplies.Sometimes, it is also necessary to work as a servant in Brown's house.

However, Joe can only wait until four and a half months later to find out what this so-called "squire" is for.

After arranging all this, Sharp left the hospital and went to Brown's house.

And the pharmacist had been waiting for Sharp for a long time.

When Sharp came to his house, the pharmacist was tasting giant clams and kangaroo loin. He enthusiastically took out the wine and invited Sharp to eat with him.

Sharp was not polite. All his income was used to serve the Revolutionary Army, but he didn't feel sorry for it.

Because the fundamental reason that inspired him to join the Revolutionary Army was the tragedies that can be seen everywhere on this archipelago every day. He is actually not a very sympathetic person, but what he sees and comes into contact with in illegal areas every day always makes people feel sad. He felt he should do something.

After eating and drinking well, the two were ready to talk about business.

Before doing this, they checked together to make sure that there was no bugging in the house and that there was no one nearby.

Then they entered Brown's private laboratory.

Brown skillfully opened the secret compartment hidden in the experiment and found the sealed task file.

That's right, this pharmacist is also from the Revolutionary Army.

"The mission is here." Brown handed the document to Sharp, "Look carefully, and destroy it in front of me after reading it."

When Sharp unwrapped it, Brown kept his distance to make sure he couldn't see the contents of the mission.

After a while, Sharp destroyed the document with the equipment in the laboratory.

The two returned to the living room and continued to drink and eat.

"Recently, what's going on outside?" Sharp asked while gnawing on the meat.

Brown, a pharmacist, can be regarded as "widely friends", and the two of them can be regarded as complementary in intelligence in this place.

"It's not about the New World." Brown took a sip of wine and said, "The prices of medicinal materials have risen recently, and the army has purchased a lot. I asked some people from there, and they said that the sea in the New World Thieves, they may have to take action again recently, and the navy has started to recruit troops again."

Sharp nodded, understanding the importance of this mission.

Once the big pirates of the new world fight with the navy, they will give the revolutionary army a chance.

And the big pirate and the navy have to do it every three to five times.

However, the revolutionary army is still dormant now. Since it got a big vote in the East China Sea, its demand for resources has also greatly increased. At the same time, it seems to have discovered the correct channel for recruiting. For those who work, the task of work is therefore more important.

The resource distribution center of Chambord itself is also a good source of information.

For example, one night a few weeks ago, Sharp was suddenly awakened by a frightening scream at home. There were shouts, slaps and fights from the sloping embankment leading to the sea near his house. He heard someone desperately Shouting his name wildly, the other party shouted: "Mr. Sharp, come and save me, they set a trap for me and tricked me into boarding the boat!"

When Sharp went out with a rifle to see what happened, he saw a man lying on the ground, being dragged to the sea by three men, two of whom were holding the man by one leg.

When the assailants were questioned loudly by Sharp, one of them took out a piece of paper torn from a newspaper and said that they had a notice to capture escaped slaves, and swore that they had a warrant issued by the mayor, telling Sharp to stay out of his own business, Otherwise, it is knowing the law and breaking the law.

Hearing this, Sharp could only watch as the struggling victim was pushed into the water with his hands and feet bound but was still struggling. The exhausted victim almost drowned on the spot. The man found some small sticks and stuffed them into his mouth, all the way to his throat to prevent him from screaming again. In the end, Sharpe could only watch them push the boat into the deep water and disappear into the dark sea. The sound of water, and no other sound came out.

But afterwards, when Sharp returned home, he realized it.

Those three were not from the slave hunting team, but from the forced conscript team, which is the style of the navy.

When the Navy will launch a conscript team in Chambord, it means that there will be a big move in the New World.

After realizing the key, he realized the reality that the price of goods was about to skyrocket. In the past few weeks, he had secretly hoarded a lot of supplies.

Now, he is waiting to fight over there.

Then there is this mission.

He's going to help a pirate named Asherid, travel back in time to the New World.

With the description in the task book, Sharp has every reason to believe that this is a unilateral decision made by the organization, and the pirate himself is not aware of it.

And Sharpe saw the pirate's name from the newspaper.

What does the organization think?To help a pirate who is suspected of becoming the Qiwuhai?

Although he has emotions, he will keep them, and the task will still be done.

"Do your friends know about the pirate named Asherid in the newspaper?" Sharp asked again.

His field of expertise is in illegal areas, not overseas.

"Oh, you mean the newcomer with a reward of [-] million?" Brown stopped drinking, "I asked, but it's strange, no one knew about him before, and no one knew where this person came from Yes, but I checked it out of curiosity, and his identity is quite complicated."

"complex?"

"Well, this person came to Chambord. At that time, he was still a member of Doflamingo, but he seemed to follow the aunt. I don't know if it is true. You know, aunt, the emperor of the sea."

Sharp understood immediately.

It turned out to be the case.

Because this time the navy's opponent is the Wan Guo established by Da Ma.

He was still wondering why this Wan Guo suddenly became a navy after being so far away. I'm afraid it was just to pick up people. I guess this Asherid has some status over there.

After all, the Pirates are like this. If they feel that they have enough status to be called brothers, they can indeed fight the navy for big things.

An enemy's enemy is a friend. It goes without saying that he has to operate well.

After getting the information he wanted to know from Brown, Sharpe was busy with this matter for the next month.

He fully mobilized his contacts in the illegal zone, keeping an eye on every ship that entered the Chambord Islands.

A month later, he got the news he wanted—the ship named "Fearless" appeared at the pier belonging to the illegal area.

Didn't even go to District [-] where the shipyards and coating craftsmen are concentrated?

However, Sharp is still full of confidence. He is ready to provide convenience for this pirate ship and send it to the new world smoothly.

However, when Sharp began to operate, Acheride had once again boarded the boundary of the Chambord Islands with his crew who had changed his style of painting.

For this place called Bubble Island, the current crew of the Intrepid have a very different mood.

The first batch of human crew members have heard the name of this place for a long time, and they also know its other side-the largest slave trading place in the world.

The crew of the former oarslave, always vigilant about his surroundings, the slave gangs of Chambord are as famous as the mangroves.

The mood of the murlocs is complicated. They all secretly saw this place when they were young, and they yearned for this place, especially Aaron.

The Shandia were pure curiosity, but they were left to guard the Dauntless.

Among all the people, Enilo still has the strangest idea.

"Why doesn't this island even have any soil?" Enilu, who hadn't stopped talking after getting off the boat, followed Asherid all the way, frowning, "This kind of island, like Sky Island, is abnormal."

"Let's say a few words, since we separated from Kuzan, the attitude of the navy that we have encountered along the way has become more and more strange. I guess there is something we don't know yet." Ya Sherid said, "The situation here is very complicated. , find that person to coat the boat and we'll leave."

"The coating you mentioned..." Enilo listened carefully with knowledge and knowledge, and immediately raised his own doubts, "It shouldn't be on this island, the shipyard and the coating craftsman seem to be on the opposite side. , why don't we sail the boat over there."

"Because the best one is here." Asherid explained, "You can control your temper, that person is very strong."

"How can there be so many strong people?" Enilo felt very uncomfortable, "Don't keep lying to me, since I came to Blue Ocean, there has never been a time when you didn't say that there was someone stronger than me on the other side."

"...I really didn't fool you, it's really strong." Ashred was also helpless, "You just need to get used to it."

Roger's deputy back then, wasn't that very strong...

Chapter 160 The power of death is a weapon

Not all illegal areas in Chambord are as inhospitable as Sharp's place.

After all, human auctions and trafficking are also carried out in illegal areas. For special human auctions, Tianlong people will also come. If it is really messy, the first ones to rectify the illegal areas must be Tianlong people.

NO.13 Mangrove is the destination of Yasherid's trip.

Because there is a "Xia Ji's Ripped Off BAR" here.

In fact, Asherid also has the attitude of giving it a try. If people are not willing to help, then he can only follow Doflamingo's example and invite a coating craftsman to go to the world.

It's really not his narrow-minded delusion of being persecuted. It's true that there are so many people who are monsters in this place of Shampoo, and they will be tricked if they are not careful.

Just like in the comics, Acherid found this bar on the roots of a mangrove tree after walking across a bridge.

The plaque doesn't look too old yet.

To say that Xia Ji and Lei Li, a pair of partners, have a highly consistent style of making money in Chambord. Lei Li used his identity as a coating craftsman to pretend to be captured by slaves, and then cheated the slave traders of their money.

Xia Ji opened a shop to rip off money.

Ashred walked to the door of the store, opened the door and walked in.

"welcome."

The voice came from a woman who was wiping wine vessels at the counter. She looked careless, but her eyes soon settled on Xiao Ba behind Ah Sherid.

"Xiao Ba!" She showed a happy expression, "When did you come back?"

"Xia Ji, long time no see." Xiaoba greeted with a smile, "I came with my captain today, please don't try to trick him."

"Since I'm your friend, I won't take money." Xia Ji smiled, "But isn't your captain Aaron? He was arrested again?"

Aaron, who was standing behind Asherid, turned black.

Xia Ji's movements were much faster, and after a while, a row of wine was already placed on the counter.

"Drink whatever you want, I invite you."

Ashred looked at the row of wine bottles, then at the smiling Xia Ji, waved to everyone, then sat down at the bar, took a glass, and poured half a glass of whiskey.

"Brother, are you the new captain?" Xia Ji smiled, "I saw you in the newspaper, you have caused a lot of trouble, and now you should be the pirate with the highest bounty on this island."

Asherid thought about it, maybe it was true.

Monkey D. Luffy went to Shampoo Land with a bounty of 2 million, and was ranked No.[-] in the supernova at that time.

After all, the No.1 one is really murderous.
