My friends are all pirates

Charlotte Lingling turned her gaze to Al Sherid.

"Achérid, have you met Madame Elba?"

Ah Sherid knew she was going to ask this.

"Master Dolly has taught me a lot."

"Oh...according to the rules of Elbaf Village, he should go back to the village to announce this matter." Charlotte Lingling said, "Did they say when they will go back?"

She still knows the story of the red ghost and the green ghost.

When she was still living in the village of Elbaf when she was a child, the giants had already started discussing whether to bring the two back.

Fighting for warrior honor is fine, but it's been too long!

After all, Mrs. Elba's average lifespan is 300 years, not 300 million.

Charlotte Lingling hadn't thought about starting from these two giant leaders to improve her cold relationship with the Elbaf Kingdom.

Wanguo's current model, in her opinion, is perfect and can crush any organization.

Can't beat Whitebeard, it's just that Whitebeard is too perverted.

But if she can get the power of the Elbaf giants, she will definitely become the master of the new world.

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Asherid said, "Mrs. Elba's spirit won't allow it."

He knew Elbaf's spirit well now, until he set off from Fishman Island, he was spirited several times a day, he was right.

"Then let's leave it at that." Charlotte Lingling nodded.

She finally got down to business.

"What do you think about Qiwuhai?"

The world government directly published Qiwuhai's invitation in the newspaper. If Charlotte Lingling, who is known as the industry's number one intelligence force, still doesn't know, then hell.

As a matter of fact, Charlotte Lingling knew about every island with people and urban systems that Asherid arrived from the time he left Ten Thousand Kingdoms to the time he left the Chambord Islands, except Sky Island.

It is no secret in the pirate circle that the Don Quixote family started as a black market intermediary.

But the Charlotte family has the status to formulate the rules of the black market.

Doflamingo, who is regarded as a black market boss outside, is not eligible to participate in Charlotte Lingling's tea party.

Wider sources of intelligence, intelligence providers with different intelligence transmission channels and different perspectives always describe the same thing completely differently, so Charlotte Lingling has sufficient information to judge.

According to what the world government thought, Shichibukai's invitation did change her view of Asherid, but the direction might not be what they wanted.

"What do you think, Captain?" Ashred asked.

He wanted to whoring for free, but the one who chooses one or the other is not called whoring for nothing.

"Well, well, well~~ You are really naughty, then I know." Charlotte Lingling laughed loudly, "Asherid, do you know how business in the New World is done?"

"I know." Ashred felt that he should understand what Charlotte Lingling meant, "Captain, are you interested in the smuggling ship of the World Government?"

"Why not?" Charlotte Lingling smiled, "That guy with the white beard robs him every year."

The top pirate in the world then said what Alsherid had guessed.

"Since it's a war, it's meaningless to just grab it. I'll allocate a fleet to you this time, and let me see your skills."

Sure enough it was this.

Acheride was born on the Great Channel. This time he went out and took a trip to the East China Sea, the most representative of the four seas, and walked the first half of the Great Channel. He has a preliminary understanding of the world's maritime trade. .

The world's ocean trade is in the hands of countries or institutions.

Even if it is an institution, it needs a charter issued by the state to be established.

And it's all based on world government.

This huge sea and land empire is a bit like a blue star where the sun never sets—at least, in the eyes of the world government, the sun never sets, and the empire's vast territory is boundless.

So they issued a navigation regulation a long time ago.

This regulation has three main elements.

One is that all trading ships must be registered with the world government and then trade in ports belonging to Mariejoia or joined countries.

The second is that the joining countries can only import any finished products from Mary Joa.

The third is that if the joining countries carry out product production and trade according to Mary Joya's "enumeration list", and only ship to the port designated by Mary Joya for trading, they can receive other rewards including trade subsidies.

This kind of regulation has only two purposes, to keep all the income generated by the transportation trade within the world government, and at the same time to encourage the growth of commercial ships and provide potential ships and soldiers for the navy.

But compared to Marie Gioia's relatively mild trade monopoly method, the operation of the franchise countries is more difficult to describe.

Because the franchised country hands over all its businesses to one or more exclusive companies in the form of a charter, and the charter needs to be purchased and paid for renewal with a huge sum of money, and it cannot be deducted from taxes.

For the small franchise countries, the charter is not easy to sell, so they limit all their business to the Royal Port.

As a result, the number of specialized trading companies is so large, and legal ports are so insufficient, most of the fleets arrive almost at the same time, and compete with each other to purchase at the origin or distribution center, causing the local purchase price to soar. It will return a large number of the same goods, causing the sales price to drop, leading to a vicious circle. If these exclusive companies strictly follow the navigation regulations, most of them will go bankrupt.

The prevalence of smuggling is inevitable.

And there is no place where the income from smuggling will be higher than that in the new world.

After all, the navigation regulations of the world government exist in name only in the New World. Whether it is a member country or a pioneering land, it needs to trade with the islands controlled by the big pirates, so it can only be done through smuggling.

In the New World, the largest smuggling fleet controlled by the world government is the treasure fleet of Tiantianjin. The treasure fleets in other places all go to the local place to receive goods, but the treasure fleet here is the same as the sea. Thieves do business, all good things.

Auntie, the one you want to grab must be the Treasure Ship Fleet.

This can also explain why G1's flying squirrels attacked with the whole army as if they were going to give away their heads.

"Understood, leave it to me." Ashred said.

Charlotte Lingling nodded in satisfaction, she thought that Al Sherid was a smart person, and she knew everything about it.

Or giants.

Also the gun of Elbaf.

She loves it so much.

Then she shifted her gaze to Enel.

The newcomer brought back by Asherid had been staring at her with wide eyes from the very beginning.

Charlotte Lingling is not a girl with yellow flowers who dare not be seen by others, but...

Even if you look at it, use the color of knowledge?

If it wasn't for the fact that it was brought by Asherid, she would have slapped it long ago.

But it's quite interesting to be able to combine abilities and knowledge like this. If Zeus hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have noticed.

"Asherid, the newly recruited subordinate, you have to discipline him well, you can't do this next time."

Asherid turned his head, but Anilu was still watching.

But the eyes are bloodshot.

Apparently the voyeurism didn't work out.

Aunt Pirate, has all three lines, and is very advanced.

"Sorry, Captain, I will discipline him well. This guy has been on the empty island, and sometimes he is not very sensible."

"Just this time, don't make another example." Charlotte Lingling waved her hand, "Go back and rest first."

She looked at Charlotte Katakuri again.

"Since you're back, you can arrange the boat."

"Okay, Mom."

Chapter 170 Five, Marlin Fando's table is consumed very quickly

When Asherid set sail again, he was already the leader of a fleet consisting of 31 ships of various types.

This is the treatment of senior cadres in all countries.

After Big Mom personally went into battle and destroyed the main force of the New World Navy, how to intercept the merchant ships and treasure fleets belonging to the World Government that had not yet returned to the Red Earth Continent became the task of all the senior cadres of the nations.

If everything can be done by the aunt herself, then it is not the cadre group but the giant baby group.

What Asherid got was not only a ship, but also a group of grassroots cadres who knew the new world well. After discussing with these people, he decided to go to an island called Matanzas.

This island is an important stronghold of the World Government in the New World. It has many deep-water ports—before the era of the Great Pirates, it was already one of the most important transit bases for the treasure fleet to return to the Red Earth Continent.

Under the lure of wealth and fame, many pirates and adventurers have set their sights on this area—but because most of the treasure fleets that stop here are heavily guarded, it is very difficult to attack successfully.

But now, the G1 fleet has been completely wiped out. If the treasure transport fleet can be blocked here, it will be a fantastic scene.

Asherid's judgment was correct. When he arrived in this sea area, he received a bad news and a good news. The bad news was that a small ship was captured by the navy after it got lost from the Fleet of Nations, leaking the whereabouts of Asherid. , A treasure transport fleet changed its course after getting the warning. The good news is that another treasure transport fleet has just arrived here. Obviously, this fleet failed to get the warning, or they prefer to try their luck.

The commander of this fleet obviously lacked keen enough insight and was completely unaware of the possible dangers. When Asherid arrived at his designated position, five warships and sixteen armed merchant ships were heading towards Matanza from the north. sailing.

In the middle of the night, Alsherid, who had already set his sights on this piece of fat, quietly approached the fleet. Perhaps because he was too negligent in the night's defense, the fleet had no time to respond, and even a warship lowered its flag shortly after the battle began. Surrendered, the merchant ships all surrendered without any resistance. The remaining four warships tried to break through the siege of the Fleet of Nations, but they ran aground in the bay. When the pirates caught up and surrounded them, they gave up fighting , shamefully made a prisoner.

Asherid had to say that if it was the navy of the headquarters, even if they couldn't beat it, they wouldn't surrender to the pirates.

Also because of this, the casualties caused by this battle were extremely small. There was no casualty in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, and only a few people in the treasure transport fleet were injured. On the surface, the first time Asherid led the fleet to attack, he achieved a dream. like victory.

But he is not proud of it, this is not even a real naval battle, the treasure transport fleet he faces is not prepared for the battle, and has been frightened by Wan Guo, it is just a battle. It's nothing more than a one-sided capture operation. This is not called a record, but a leak.

However, Asherid still seized valuable goods from the captured ships, and the accompanying finance staff of Wan Guo estimated on the spot that if these goods were liquidated urgently, it would be enough to support the army of Wan Guo for eight months of military expenditure.

This didn't make Asherid feel so lucky. What he needs now is not wealth, but fame.

But Lady Luck seems to be on his terms.

Since the treasure fleet was captured almost intact, the size of the ships under Asherid's command rose to 47 ships, and except for a few people, those who surrendered joined the nations.

When their identities were changed to pirates, the morale of these people seemed to return.

Not only that, they provided Acherid with a piece of information that sounded important.

Although the G1 fleet is destroyed, and the flying squirrels are still alive and dead, but because the world government has begun to gather reinforcements from the other side, some of them have already arrived at the port of the Red Earth Continent in the New World. There are ready-made warships there, and they are rapidly forming combat power. The identity could not be confirmed, but at least one Lieutenant General Ben also arrived in port.

This gave a lot of confidence to the pioneering lands and franchise countries in the New World. These people gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, and a huge fleet of 95 ships of various types has been formed.

Although sixty of them are transport ships, there are still 35 warships. These people are not the navy, but are composed of organizations, countries, and allied countries that are friendly to the world government in the new world. Fight against the Emperor of the Seas on the side of the World Government.

They will transport more than 5000 people to the G1 branch to enhance the G1 branch's ability to fight pirates.

Before that, they will first attack the stronghold of Wan Guo as a vote of honor.

The commander of this fleet is called Álvaro Kazan. He comes from a non-member country, but he especially hates pirates and hates all nations because he is a big farmer who owns a large piece of land and slaves. Before the first war, more than half of his slaves had fled desperately, basically to all countries.

Hearing this news, Asherid was overjoyed, for he saw someone who wanted to fight.

Ai Nilu, who was almost ruined by the aunt, also burst into laughter, and there was someone on the other side.

The Shandia simply climaxed directly. Just today's round, can that be called a war?Even if they catch so many pigs, they may not be so fast!

According to the instructions of the "Abandoning the Darkness and Turning to the Brightness" faction, Acheride rushed to the best interception location, the island named Lasker, with the Dreadnought as his flagship.

For the enemies intending to make a surprise attack, they lost their concealment before their actions started. After Arsherid arrived in Lasker, he first took over the pirate ships here, and built a sea force with fifty ships of various types. , there is also a group of armed personnel belonging to the Big Mom Pirates to assist in the defense, and the manpower is very abundant.

Ashred, who decided to fight with the other side, made the arrangements seriously. He first assigned a fleet to Ainil, and asked Ainil to lead the fleet to the east of the island's river estuary. Here It is the only way for the enemy to retreat.

The remaining men and ships, under the personal command of Acherid, met them head-on.

A day later, the enemy appeared as expected, but Alcherid realized that he might have expected in vain.

Because the opposite is really spicy chicken.

Despite their large scale, their first wave of operations failed—the landing force that divided their troops to the south of the island was beaten to death by the two thousand armed men on the shore, taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain. , the battle on the sea is also one-sided.

The Shandia guerrillas were the first to attack on the Intrepid. They glide on the sea surface with the help of wind shells, and first fired the flame cannons powered by flame shells to attack the enemy—the first attack actually penetrated the enemy directly. the lower hull of a larger warship, causing it to sink rapidly.

Enemies who had never been exposed to this weapon and fighting style fell into chaos from the very beginning.

Alvaro Kazan then made another operation that Asherid didn't quite understand. He intended to use two-thirds of his troops to contain Asherid's fleet from the front, and the remaining one-third of his troops Flank outflank from the shallow water area to the north.

However, this is not a thorough plan—because the sea area in the north that can be used for detours is too narrow, and doing so will weaken his combat effectiveness.

But a large number is really beneficial. In the end, the fleets of the two sides collided violently. With the flagships of both sides as the core, a bloody battle began.

The decks of both sides were full of people, firing ammunition at each other with all their strength, and slashing and killing each other with various cold weapons. The battle at this time was no longer a naval battle that required delicate deployment and maneuvering, but a battle that relied on their respective courage, A fierce land battle won by will, physical strength and fighting skills.

Wherever Asherid went, it exploded.
