My friends are all pirates

"Replenishment is just a trivial matter." Trotter smiled, "Don't worry, looking at the appearance of Shichibukai-sama, it should have been sailing for a long time. Since they are all here, if I don't show my kindness as a landlord, I will be punished by others. Laugh at me for being uneducated."

"Thank you then." Jinbe nodded.

Speaking of this, if you don't eat it for nothing, you won't eat it for nothing, and...

Regardless of whether the other side wants to do something, I don’t even care. The weakest sea is not called for nothing. People in this place, whoever stands against the world government, can’t offer a reward of more than 5000 million Baileys. Those who have reached this line will either try their luck on the reverse mountain, or they will be killed by the navy.

With Jinbei's strength and identity, he can completely walk sideways here.

Seeing Jinbei's agreement, Trott's face showed joy, he called the housekeeper, and began to arrange a banquet.

Neither Asherid nor Charlotte Katakuri stepped forward and said "I am not Qiwukai's subordinate", and the two thought the same as Jinbei.

Besides, since they were eaten separately, Asherid would not let such a big baby like Xia Li out of his sight, it would be too unsafe.

Soon, everyone went to the next door at the invitation of the butler. It was obvious that this Trotter wanted to whisper to Jinbe.

Arriving next door, what Asherid saw was a hall with long tables. Although the food was still being prepared, the fruit and wine had already been prepared.

No one was polite.

After sitting down at the table, Asherid took a fruit and bit into his mouth. It felt a little sour. It didn't look particularly good, but at the level of this small town, it wasn't too bad.

Just walking along the way, he could see clearly that the gap between the rich and the poor is no longer enough to describe, it is simply the poverty of the whole people.

There is no long-term per capita growth rate in this small society.

Of the men in the entire town, he saw no more than 70 people in total, including gray-haired old people and young children who were still playing in the mud. At least half of the men were responsible for the work of standing guard.

Many people's faces don't look like those who have eaten and slept well, they are very tired and their mental state is not good.

In such a weak town, if you want to have any crooked thoughts about them, you will definitely be courting death.

To put it more harshly, this is a town in the "pastoral era".

In Blue Star, there are many people in every society who miss the beautiful pastoral era, men farming and women weaving, beautiful mountains and rivers, no fertilizers, no ripening agents, and not many artificial things, but this is just people living in greenhouses. The beautiful imagination of that era, such a gentle and beautiful life, only existed in a very small number of times in the lives of a very small number of privileged people.

The world of One Piece is divided into small societies by islands. The people at the bottom of the pastoral era, the mainstream is poverty, violence, ignorance and mutual harm. Common sense confirmed by years of lived experience and passed on from generation to generation - next year will not be better than this year, and it may even be worse.

Such a small society is definitely very dangerous for outsiders.

But Yasherid and others are typical raptors crossing the river. As for this town, it is just a small shrimp in the river.

Asherid took a sip of his wine, and when he saw the butler walking around, he suddenly had a guess, and he waved to the butler.

"Dude, I have a question for you."

"Please speak."

"When I came, I saw that there was no one on your bunker, but there were cannons."

"My lord has good eyes." The butler's expression was impeccable. "But it's not that there are no people. It's relatively stable recently, so the soldiers have taken turns to do their own farm work."

"So that's the case. Mr. Trott seems to be a reasonable boss." Ashred said with a smile.

"Yes, my master has been kind-hearted since he was a child, and he doesn't want to see people suffer."

Well, I understand, it's shameful to see people suffer, so don't show up, right?

Waving his hand to let the butler go away, Asherid grabbed the bread that was just served, and said to Charlotte Katakurito, "Brother Katakurito, it seems that the East China Sea is not so peaceful."

"Of course, this place is just a symbol of peace for the world government, and it's not like we don't want to fight." Charlotte Katakurit wrapped his scarf, "Perhaps he wants to rely on the force of the Qiwuhai. You have seen the appearance of this place. It's normal to want to rely on privateers to defend against pirates."

Chapter 99 Can't think of it? Grandpa will become bigger!

Trott Carlyle, now faced with an important problem.

There are three private warships heading towards the island where he is located. According to intelligence, there are 320 soldiers in total. Their leader is Boogieman Adams. "Courteous" letters.

There was an extremely weird proposal written on it - Boogieman first claimed that they would provide paid labor resources for the kingdom on the bridge, but the supplies of the ship were insufficient, and the crew also needed to go ashore to rest. He explained in the letter that this was because he did not have time to obtain the kingdom's charter, but their business is still legal, and if the Governor can be merciful to let them land on the island, he will offer a generous reward. Will pay twice as much.

If that's all, Trott won't be nervous, after all, it means he can get a lot of "reward", but the other party also claimed that once the supplies are processed, they will also donate an old warship and a large number of weapons , Trot only needs to let these strangers go ashore without asking anything, and he can get a lot of money and become the master of a battleship.

Trotter has never heard of the name Boogeyman Adams, but if he can bring out more than 300 armed followers, he will be interested in this broken island. It's not that I haven't done it.

But all the armed servants he brought out from the family were less than ten. Counting the young and strong in the town, they were not talking about quality but quantity, and those who could fight were only a fraction of the opponent.

The blockhouse in the town was built of local stone, and it was fairly strong, with 28 guns on it, but he didn't even have enough men to run it if he didn't find foreign help.

So Trott has been looking for armed foreign aid recently.

Qiwuhai's "timely" arrival made him see a better opportunity.

You can't talk about your identity if you can't get on the table, but he can, he is a genuine noble lord of the franchise country, registered in the register, even if it is just a broken territory, this is his confidence to contact Qi Wuhai.

To be honest, the enemy's plan is quite complete. Although he was able to obtain this identity through operation, there has been no navy passing by this place for several years. Although Trott has the status of governor and lord, he can only ensure that he will not be sent. Go to the nearby country on the bridge to work as a slave laborer.

At this moment, looking at the huge green murloc in front of him, Trot suppressed his nausea and continued to flatter him.

As an aristocrat in the East China Sea, Trott is no stranger to dealing with pirates. The environment in the East China Sea is excellent, and there are a large number of large and fertile islands with a large population and well-developed cultivated land. They found a way to get more benefits from the land. They expelled the farmers on the land, bought the leasehold rights handed down from their ancestors with cash, or simply refused to renew the lease. After the fields and pastures, a large number of farmers who could have been self-sufficient have become poor without land, and they have to go to towns to beg for a living and become laborers.

Even if there are still people who have reserved land in the countryside, most of them have to face barren land such as hard clay soil, which is very difficult to plow and drain, so many people leave the farmland whenever they have the opportunity, Fleeing the growing social and economic disaster sweeping the countryside, head to the cities to compete for jobs with the many landless who have gone from begging to stealing to the gallows.

There are also a lot of pirates, which can make them hanged less quickly.

But the East China Sea is still peaceful.

Without the support of the nobles and squires, the pirates would not have many ways to sell their stolen goods, and it would be even more difficult to buy weapons and ammunition.

As an old player, Trott thinks that he understands all the people who call themselves pirates or do pirate business - it's all about money.

"[-] million deposit." Trot promised Jinping, "I only have [-] million beli now, as long as you help me survive this disaster, I can return to the family. At that time, I can get even one billion come out."

Jinbe: "..."

He's a little bored.

Running around in the sea was a thing for Jinbe before he became Shichibukai. Now, he is the goalkeeper of Murloc Island with the title of Shichibukai. If he hadn't helped Asherid, he would not have come to the East China Sea.

Trott didn't continue talking, he was surprised to find that Jinbei really didn't seem to be interested in money.

"I was being rude." Trot raised his glass.

Jinbe nodded, accepted Trott's apology, picked up a leg of lamb, and bit off a third of it in one bite.

"Master Shichibukai, do you know the country on the bridge?" Trotter suddenly said, "In our place, there is a bridge that was built 700 years ago. Because the project is too big, it has become a country. Of course, It has no citizens, but men who oversee works and slaves who work."

Jinbe stopped eating.

"That's right, there are murlocs or mermaids among them? Sorry, I don't know much about your family." Trot said this seemingly respectfully, and then went straight to the topic, "And the people who are going to attack here Pirates, they are transporting slaves for the country on the bridge, maybe there are some on their ships."

Jinbe put the wine glass back on the table, lost in the mood.

Although he doesn't know what the country on the bridge that the country of humans is talking about, Jinbe has to admit that he can't ignore this possibility.

Originally, Jinbe had no interest in the situation of this human aristocrat, he just stopped the boat to take a rest, and then loved whoever he was.

"My companion is next door, right?"

"Yes, Lord Shichibukai, don't worry, the hospitality they receive is of the same standard as ours."

Jinbe stood up.

He doesn't trust human nobles, but the people next door, Asherid and Charlotte Katakurito, are also human, so he's going to check.

If there is such a country and it uses slaves, then he must go and see it.

Jinbe strode towards the passage door on the side of the room, opened the door, and met Asherid behind the door.

"You've been here." Jinbe raised his brows, and he knew that Asherid was not that honest.

Trot, who was behind Jinbe, also looked at Asherid in surprise. He remembered ordering the housekeeper to treat these pirates well.

"The country this guy mentioned exists, I have the impression." Ashred remembered that Robin in the comics was photographed flying to that country, but he never said how he escaped until the progress of the comics he read. "There are indeed slaves working there."

"Oh, do you think there will be our people?" Jinbe asked seriously.

"It's hard to say." Asherid said honestly, "Since it is building a bridge, the slaves are all laborers. The physical strength of the murlocs...you understand."

"...Then I know, brothers, let's go!"

Jinbe walked directly to the door, following his shout, the members of the Sun Pirates who could hear clearly because the door was open all echoed loudly, and really filed out.

A group of murlocs walked past the stunned Trotter, pushed open the door to the outside room, and left without stopping.

The last murloc went out, and Charlotte Katakurit also came out with a bottle of wine in her hand, nodded to Asherid, and said first, "I've heard of this country too, just take a look. ", and then followed the pace of the crowd.

Only Ashred was still waiting for Charlie.

"Charlie, hurry up."

"Understood, I'm leaving." Xia Li got out of the doorway dissatisfied. There was no bubble, and she twisted her tail. The speed was really too fast.

"Sir, please wait a moment." Trot looked at the five-meter-tall mermaid girl in front of him, and couldn't help swallowing.

Good guy, this is really big, you can just bury your head in it.

"We can talk again if there are conditions."

"Brother, are you a nobleman?" Ashred asked him.

Trott's eyes lit up when he heard the words, it really is better for humans to deal with humans, first ask if it is a cadre.

"That's right, you are also human, you should know that I am a child of the Carlisle family, in this country..."

"Oh, it doesn't need to be so detailed, I'll just ask casually." Asherid waved his hand, and turned around to see Xia Li struggling. He was impatient, so he took a deep breath.

In a blink of an eye, Asherid in front of Trott became almost as tall as the mermaid beside him. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

The impatient Asherid grabbed Xia Li's shoulder with one hand, and stretched out the other hand from behind the tail. With a strong effort, the mermaid hugged her.

"I'm sorry, I'm actually not human." After saying this, Asherid looked down at Xia Li who was also shocked by being hugged by him, and grinned.

"Unexpected, right? Grandpa will become bigger."

Charlie: "???"

It was the first time she was hugged like this, although she was confused, she still subconsciously wagged her tail vigorously, but Asherid's hands were so strong that she couldn't break free at all.

Instead, he almost slapped Trot on the wall.

"Don't move around, I'll let you down when I get back to the boat."

Asherid said, he took a last look at Trot, who was a little embarrassed, and walked away.

The nobles in the East China Sea seem to be living too comfortably.

I still want the people of the Sun Pirates to help them fight pirates, what do you think?

Just to go to the country on the bridge?

Asherid strode away, leaving Trot standing alone, looking at the messy scene with a livid face.

"Master!" The butler came late at this time. He and Trott were both prosperous and hurt. Although they were afraid of going up and getting punched, they still stepped forward and said, "These subordinates of Qiwuhai, too There are no rules anymore, but I have good news."

"Speak." Trot finally managed to remain rational, and did not retaliate with a young fist to the loyal butler, but he already hated the pirates in front of him in his heart. "

"Pirate Creek promised to protect this town, but the price will be..."

Trot waved his hand to stop the butler from continuing to talk nonsense.

Just collect the money, cheat his family's money, Crick doesn't have that ability.

However, Crick, a pirate, has been relatively famous in the East China Sea in recent years, and he dares to make any money. In this situation, only Crick dares to take his order.

On the contrary, Qi Wuhai... is so arrogant!

Chapter 100 Be the captain again

The Kingdom of Woland is an archipelago country in the East China Sea.

The great waterway is usually one island and one country, but in the four seas, the territory of a country is often not limited to a single island.

Forty years ago, the "Frontier" of the Kingdom of Bridges entered Woland, bringing spring to the country's nobles.

There are not many other things in the East China Sea, but there are many people.

Wallander is not immune either. If you look carefully at the bustling streets of the capital, you will find that there are many children without parents. Some of them became orphans due to accidents, some due to illness, and some simply because they were not fed well. Satisfy their parents and abandon them.Municipal officials can rent these children out to beggars as props at a very cheap price. For a price of [-] beli per person, children aged five to eight will be sold for seven years, so the capital is full of child labor.

For example, chimney sweeps will buy these young children and order them to climb down the chimney to clean for the boss. These children will soon suffer from lung disease and blindness, and the owner only needs to throw away the old ones and buy new ones.

Children who cannot be sold at the beginning will be thrown back on the street, begging during the day, and sleeping in small holes and corners by the door and on the side of the street at night. Therefore, urchins in rags will roam the streets collectively. Doing anything for pocket change, less than half of these waifs live to be 16.

And in the ghettos, large numbers of landless people live in dirty, cold, dimly lit and ramshackle houses, usually fifteen to twenty people to a room, the streets are filled with filth, and the dead are buried in public cemeteries, in fact. It was a big pit, and the soil would only be filled when the corpses were full.
