My friends are all pirates

It’s really not impossible to take the route of the Big Mom Pirates. Compared with the Don Quixote family and Kaido, Wan Guo is much more peaceful. This kind of stable development and not turbulent style is actually very refreshing to Asherid.

In contrast, the Don Quixote family and the Hundred Beasts Pirates have made more troubles, and they have been playing the brightest Di in the pirate circle.

There is another very important thing, which is the matter of using abilities to build weapons that Asherid has been thinking about.

Charlotte Lingling also has a knife that can use flames, and she also made it with her own ability. The so-called analogy, Asherid would like to have a chance to get a relationship with this boss in the future and ask for his experience.

Chapter 73 A New Empire in a New World

Time passed day by day.

The rhythm of life in Dressrosa has not changed much for Asherid, and if anything, Monet probably achieved her goal.

Due to the star effect of "Black Wing Swordsman", Monet, as "Black Wing Wife", entered the palace to work as he wished, but the intensity was not high, almost nine to five.

For Asherid, his job was done.

More of his energy began to be put on "open map fog".

Just like when he was in Isera, Asherid got to know the surrounding waters and even San Ding Island—the waters of Magnetic Drum Island through the sea boats traveling to and from Isera. When he lived in Dressrosa for a long time After he got down, he was also able to learn something about the new world.

There are a lot of foreign ships visiting this island, and their purpose is nothing more than to do business. The goods sold by Dressrosa are usually various high-quality food raw materials and condiments, that is, spices. This country claims to be the Everything can be grown, so the goods that need to be collected on different islands in other places can be caught in Dressrosa Island. Although this is the gratitude and gift of the little people to the Rick family, outsiders don’t know , only attribute it to the fact that the land of Dressrosa Island is very magical, and its products are very popular in disguise.

The people in Dressrosa are also very good at dealing with foreigners. Foreigners’ visits are always welcome. Both parties can get what they want through transactions. Foreign ships usually carry gold and silver or other equivalents , and sometimes there are slave ships - the country is an agricultural country with limited labor.

But these are not the most important. The most important thing is that the passes carried by these ships are different.

In the hometown of Asherid, in the first half of the Great Channel, the distinction between pirates and merchant ships is mainly based on the pass--all issued in the name of the world government, indicating the captain's name, the size of the ship, and the number of crew members. If an unlicensed ship is encountered by the navy, all cargo on board will be confiscated, and if it is suspected of being a pirate, the safety of the crew will not be guaranteed.

On the contrary, a licensed vessel will be guaranteed safe navigation, provided that it must pass through a designated port and be obliged to pay taxes on the goods carried on the vessel-the processing fee for applying for a pass is very cheap, probably only a few peles , but the pass is the basis for taxation, which is the core of the system.

And the foreign ships that came to Dressrosa not only held the World Government Pass.

And those big pirates.

Obviously, when the big pirate established his own pirate kingdom in the new world, he also copied the old man of the world government well. Like the Tianlong people 800 years ago, they also used the pass system to establish a new maritime empire that is different from the traditional land kingdom. .

The land kingdom controlled the land and taxed the production activities in the territory as the main source of fiscal revenue. However, in the new empire, the rulers "connected" the ports or military bases scattered in the ocean in a dot shape, and then "connected" them with The "chain" formed by a series of "points" and "lines" regards the sea inside the "chain" as "territory", controls the waterways and trade in it, and the taxes obtained therefrom serve as the main source of income for the new empire.

Building and maintaining such a "chain" requires a lot of money. It is enough to build many fortresses and strongholds. The collection and transportation of building materials is a big difficulty. Depending on the location of the construction site, there are some materials that need to be transported. It still needs to be transported thousands of miles away, and the food, remuneration, and supplies of ammunition and weapons required by the personnel stationed in the fortresses and strongholds are also gold-sucking caves. Once the "circle" is too large, the profits obtained will be lost. offset by the above expenses.

Even the world government, with the support of the franchise countries and Tianshangjin, is still powerless in the second half of the great channel, and dare not expand the circle casually, and has to shrink when it is time to shrink. It can be seen that no matter how noble the blood is, the strength is strong. How strong, unless you do it alone, you have to sit down and settle accounts honestly in this matter.

Sometimes, Acherid would also go shopping in the market on the port side with Monet. According to the locals, there is a story in this market. It is said that a long time ago, a businessman made a lot of money in business, but because of The overweight gold caused the ship to sink. He had no choice but to hand over the gold to King Rick at the time when he passed Dressrosa. But when he returned, he found that the original gold was still intact. Even if the merchant wanted to donate half of the gold, he was rejected by King Rick at the time, claiming that he had only done what a king should do.

Therefore, the merchant built this market as a thank you to the Kingdom of Dressrosa, and this market has also become a symbol of Dressrosa's high level of justice and safety for foreign merchants.

Asherid thinks that this story should be true. Compared with gold, the evaluation of fairness and city safety is obviously more important. Based on the evaluation of the Rick family in Dressrosa, this awareness must be there.

On this day, Ah Sherid came to the market again.

The intelligence officers of the Don Quixote family, who exchange information with them, are always in this market, and this job was originally done by Monet, but...

It's the end of the year, and there are many things to do. She has to work overtime today to catch up with the job assessment materials, and she has to eat box lunch in the palace to guarantee the bottom line.

The spy was dragged by the undercover agent to work overtime in the office to write materials to fight for the year-end bonus. It was really sad to hear, and the listener shed tears.

So Ashred came in Monet's place.

For the first time, he was not familiar with the business. He walked around for a long time, but he didn't see anyone who fit the characteristics that Monet said.

Speaking of which, pretending to be husband and wife, the two of them had a supplementary setting.

Child.

It is reasonable for a young couple to have no children. It can be said that they are just married.

But it is a bit unreasonable to not be pregnant for a long time.

So it is better to directly assume that there are children.

Anyway, it was one of the four little ones on the boat. As for which one, Doflamingo decided, and then sent someone to bring it over, just say it was a relative who helped.

This time, the reason why Asherid had to come was because his nominal "Zai Zai" had already been arranged and would come after a while.

How to connect, he has to meet people at the market to know.

Fortunately, he was just unfamiliar with the business rather than blind. After wasting more than an hour of time, he could be considered to have met the person who connected him.

The people who came did not know each other, they were not cadres.

After a complicated process, he finally got the information.

It's Dellinger.

When Xiao Banyu was on the boat, he always wanted to ask him to learn swordsmanship, but now that he is not here, it is estimated that Doflamingo was bothered by him, so he just threw it over.

The pick-up time was a week later, and Jora came, oh, with the identity of "Auntie".

This is great.

You can teach swordsmanship, but it's not necessary to bring children.

In this state of mind, a week later, Asherid and Monet arrived at the port according to the agreed time.

The name of the Don Quixote family has become more and more resounding in the vicinity. Asherid didn't know and had no interest in how Doflamingo opened up his family business in the New World, but when he saw Delin When he was on the boat that Jie was on, he still judged that the Don Quixote family should have a good life recently.

It's completely different from when he was beaten by Aokiji and almost went on the road naked.

The difference from the first half is that there are few private ships in the New World that exceed 36 meters in length and 10 meters in width, and ships weighing [-] to [-] tons are common. The maintenance capabilities of many ports in the New World are affected by the environment , and even the silt cannot be dredged in time, which limits the traffic capacity of large ships.

Delinger's restless nature has not changed at all. When he saw Asherid by the port at the bow, he immediately waved and shouted excitedly.

So, when those around were very curious about how the famous Black Wing Swordsman was waiting for someone at the port with his young wife today, they saw a little bean running down a square boat with short legs. Then he threw himself into Asherid's arms and called out to his father loudly.

Asherid was very sure that if he didn't squat down in time, Delinger's horns that seemed to have grown a little bit would definitely go towards little Asherid.

If this is really your own, you can see if he beats you or not.

"Auntie!" On the other side, Monet greeted Jorah with a look of surprise.

To be honest, she was exhausted from this job.

If she could find a thousand reasons why she should go out, then Ah Sherid could find ten thousand reasons why she should not go out.

Monet knew that Acherid hated spy work, but he really didn't expect him to be so resistant.

Jorah's here, that's all.

"Long time no see, little Monet." Jorah was in a good state, although her eyes always drifted unconsciously to Delinger.

During this period of time, Delinger's presence on the boat really made Doflamingo's head swell.

Although Doflamingo was ruthless and well-versed in the underground world, he was not a player who could understand children, so he couldn't figure out how Delinger became obsessed with swordsmanship.

And I still have to learn from Asherid.

In desperation, he had no choice but to find someone to train Delinger as a spy, and then send him to Dressrosa Island.

Jorah came together.

The old friend Rao also hated Asherid even more because of this, and Delinger was originally responsible for teaching gymnastics.

Jorah looked at Asherid who was hugging Dellinger. The performance of this guy in Dressrosa was also clear to everyone through Monet. It can only be said that the speed of progress is really inhuman.

And he still doesn't call Doflamingo the young master, only the captain.

Jorah didn't understand, this guy clearly knew that only a better platform would allow him to grow further, so why wouldn't he change his mind?Is it because of bad relationship with Rao?

In that case, she would love to be a peacemaker.

Chapter 74 It's Terrible

After bringing Gerlind back to the hotel, it was regarded as a supplement to the setting, and Alcherid returned to the life of a hands-off spy. In addition to eating, sleeping, going to the practice range and occasionally fencing with others in the daily routine, there is an extra fencing teacher's work.

It has to be said that this reminded him of his life in the Rudy Ford Sword Gym.

At that time, many people couldn't stand the extremely boring "eight moves" training and gave up halfway. If it wasn't because he was too grassroots and had no other options at all, he might be one of them.

But Delinger, Bicherid thinks patiently.

Every day, he would follow Asherid to the training ground provided by the arena, and he would continue to practice according to Asherid's requirements systematically. If Asherid didn't stop, he would practice until he lost his strength.

In a blink of an eye, four months passed, and Ah Sherid was surprised that Delinger had no intention of giving up at all, even though Ah Sherid had nothing to do except let him practice the eight moves every day.

There is no incentive or anything.

On this day, Delinger sat on the side and took small sips of water obediently after completing the practice amount according to Asherid's request, and then felt his eyes go dark.

He looked up and saw that it was Ashred in black.

"Have you finished practicing?" Ashred looked at him.

This little guy is studying so hard, Asherid decided to start teaching seriously from today. He really has an idea to make Rudy Ford's swordsmanship flourish in the world of One Piece, but he doesn't teach those who are popular for 3 minutes and ruin his own swordsmanship He doesn't do things.

If it wasn't for Delinger's pitiful life experience, and the fact that he would still have to go to the city to eat prison in the future, he would not have agreed so easily.

"Yeah!" Delinger nodded vigorously.

"Take a break. From today onwards, apart from continuing to fight wooden figures, you will fight me."

Delinger's eyes lit up.

Are eight moves boring?That was boring.

But since Delinger could remember, he knew that he was abandoned, and there was no place for him in either the human society or the murloc society.

dull?People with nothing would have such extravagant thoughts.

Doflamingo recognizes him and protects him, then he can die for Doflamingo.

Ashley Deken taught him swordsmanship, and he was also grateful.

The younger ones of them all knew that Asherid didn't like Doflamingo's preferences, and treated them well, just out of sheer willingness. Although he always liked to keep a straight face, he was very warm.

Ah Sherid didn't care about Dellinger's excited little expression, he thought it was reasonable to have this expression.

How can he not be excited if he has the opportunity to learn such a handsome swordsmanship?

That must be exciting!

After a while, Ah Sherid saw that Delinger recovered a lot of strength, so he picked up two wooden swords wrapped in iron and walked towards him.

In fact, it is better to use all-metal swords, and heavy ones should be practiced, but Delinger is still a child after all, here, this kind of practice sword is the only one suitable for children to practice.

Let Delinger get used to the feel of the hand first, and Asherid accompanied him to practice in a decent manner.

"Pay attention to your step."

"Don't just use the sword with one hand. Two hands will definitely be stronger and faster than one hand."

"Don't block easily. In addition, you should use the wide part of the sword to block, and don't slap the opponent's sword."

It was the first time for Delinger to practice against someone, but there was nothing to commend him, but Ashred was very patient, and he never instilled too many things at once. In his opinion, it would take at least several years for Delinger. In order to truly turn the movements of the eight moves into your own physical habits.

It's still early.

Delinger's current physical strength is very limited. Although he worked very hard, he was out of breath after a while, and Asherid began to teach him how to adjust his breathing again.

The happy learning time flew by. When Monet came to the training ground to find them, Acheride was sitting on the ground, showing Delinger his sword, and explaining to him how to judge whether a long sword is of qualified quality and how long it is. The role of each position on the sword.

Monet waited for a while, waiting for Asherid to finish explaining to Delinger.

Although Asherid's cooperation in intelligence work is extremely poor, apart from this point, Monet is still very satisfied in other places.

The fact that at least a few of the kids on board liked him is a good indication of why.

"Coming?" Ashred waved at Monet.

This girl has been getting busy lately.

The workload in this palace is a bit high, without a healthy body, I really can't bear it.

Even, last month, the cooling equipment in Monet's office broke down, and she secretly used her own ability to replace it.

"Well, Jorah is ready to cook." Monet pulled Delinger up from the ground, and wiped the dust off his ass.

"It's hard work for her." Ah Sherid said sincerely.

Jorah has always been very polite to him since he called, and his words meant to resolve the conflict between him and Rao, but...

Asherid swears that he never targeted the old man, they are all old men, and they can remember a fight for a lifetime?

Anyway, he told Jorah what he meant, if Rao was really that stingy, then he couldn't help it.
