Chapter 28
Rogge Island is overcast tonight, with no stars or moons, and the entire island is pitch-black except for the wealthy area of ​​the town.And when most of the residents on this island have already fallen asleep, there is only one place on the rocky coast in the north of the island, and it is barely possible to enter and leave the bay for small and medium-sized ships.There was a group of people lighting torches, carrying boxes of supplies onto two small boats on the shore through a gentle slope, and continuously carrying them back and forth to a medium-sized sailboat anchored at the exit of the bay.

Through the light of the torch, you can see a fierce man dressed as a classic pirate captain wearing a black skull captain hat, wearing the same black captain suit, showing chest hair, full face, and waving a pistol in his hand. On the gentle slope, he kept yelling at a man dressed as a businessman in front of him.

"What did you do with the Rogge Chamber of Commerce! Not only did you increase the negotiated price by 3%, but the supplies were also reduced by half. Do you know how much this will cause me, the cruel Captain Edith, to seize ONE PICEC? Trouble, don’t you want to live anymore!” The vicious big man Captain Edith’s eyes spewed fire, his face was constantly shaking, and he roared with murderous intent.

"You also know that the navy in Rogge Town is now under the command of the 'noose', and the crackdown on pirates and those who assist them is very severe. We are doing business with you at the risk of being hanged. We can learn from him It is already going all out to transport so much material here under the nose of the businessman, and it is impossible to add more. Think about it, we have taken such a big risk, of course the price has to be raised a little bit." The businessman's face is full of fawning With a smile, he rubbed his hands together and said carefully.

"'Noose'? Navy? Hmph, I'm racing against time to get to the Great Route, or else I'll break through the naval base here, kill all the navy, tie that 'noose' to an anchor, and sink into the sea." Captain Edith first expressed his disdain for the navy, and then categorically shouted at the businessman: "I can only give you [-]% more, not even a single berry!"

"It's hard for me to do this... Well, I'll fight to get demoted, half the price!" The businessman wanted to bargain at first, but seeing that Captain Edith had aimed his gun at him, he thought it was interesting He swallowed back what he wanted to say, and readily agreed to the other party's price.

Captain Edith showed a victorious smile on his ferocious face, patted the merchant on the shoulder, and softened his tone a little: "That's right, I didn't ask you to make up the goods and pay the money, it's because of us It's an old friend's face." After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a pirate walked over with a bag of things behind him.

"Let's order." Captain Edith said to the merchant, and motioned for the pirate to pass the bag to him.

"Clatter clatter." The businessman carefully counted each berry with the fire, and confirmed that it was the negotiated amount. The smile on his face was even wider, and he complimented the pirate captain: "What you said is true, we also sincerely agree with you. You cooperate, now except for your old friend, we will never do business with other captains. After all, no matter how important money is, it is not as important as life."

Seeing the smug smile of the pirate captain in front of him, the businessman put the money back and snorted coldly in his heart, "Huh! Rude pirate, who is your old friend. You still go to the great route, depending on you" Voice' Edith has the guts to look at Reversing Mountain from a distance. Even in the East China Sea, you only dare to attract the attention of small merchant ships and coastal villages. And break into the naval base? When the navy catches you later, I will Let’s see if you can pee your pants.” The businessman has cooperated with the pirate captain many times, and he knows that the other party is only cruel to the weak, but in fact he doesn’t have the courage to fight the navy at all, let alone enter the great route.

"Hey, [-]% and a half, this fool thought he was taking advantage. In fact, the bottom line that the chamber of commerce gave me was to increase the price by [-]%, and the extra half is my own. I really hope that the matter of cooperating with the navy to deal with pirates will be exposed. In the past, this kind of foolish pirates could come more, as long as I come here a few more times, I can go back to my hometown and enjoy myself." The businessman secretly made his own calculations in his heart, but he knew very well that his chamber of commerce was After being approached by the dreaded 'noose' more than a month ago, they came up with a plan to join forces with the navy to lure pirates to come here for transactions, and then sell them to the navy.This plan sounds perfect, the chamber of commerce can get the money paid by the pirates, the navy can get the seized supplies, and the handlers like myself can get some gray income. Except for the pirates, everyone else can benefit, and everyone is happy.But this kind of thing cannot be kept secret forever. Once exposed, the chamber of commerce will become the target of pirates in the East China Sea. It is very likely that the ship will be attacked as soon as it goes to sea. No customer will be willing to cooperate with such a chamber of commerce.Even if it can barely continue to operate, the safety cost will increase to the point where there is no profit. It can be said that the chamber of commerce is exchanging the future for the benefits of the present. What is the reason why the senior management of the chamber of commerce made such a decision? He only knew that what he had to do now was to get enough of Bailey for his retirement before the boat sank.

Chatting with Captain Edith for a while, feeling that the time is almost up, the businessman smiled and said to the pirate captain: "The last remaining goods can be loaded on this ship, even if our transaction is successfully completed, I should go back I have reported to the chamber of commerce, and I will take my leave first.”

Captain Edith gave the businessman a strange look, and said, "Oh, you're leaving? I want to buy you a drink on board."

The businessman didn't pay attention to the strange expression of the pirate captain. He was full of thoughts of leaving now, and he didn't want to get involved in the battle for a while. He would have a drink with the pirate, so he immediately declined: "You are too polite, thank you for your hospitality. But the chamber of commerce is still waiting for my reimbursement, so there is really no delay."

"The chamber of commerce? The navy is waiting for you."

The businessman was shocked when he heard the words, but he dared to accept the job, and he was not a coward who traded with these pirates alone.Knowing that he was exposed, he didn't panic, but pretended to look at Captain Edith with a dazed look, while quietly clenched the bag in his hand.

"Pretending to be pretty, Wooden Legs and the other three unlucky ghosts must have been deceived by your face. I'll peel it off completely and keep it for good storage!" Captain Edith showed a ferocious smile. The musket was also aimed at the merchant's chest.

"Don't open... Colonel, he is 'Loud Voice' Edith!" The businessman who was originally dazed suddenly stared at Edith's side and shouted.

Edith was startled when he heard the words, "Is the 'noose' after me?" Subconsciously, he wanted to turn around, but after all, he was also an old pirate who had never been touched by the navy after all, so he immediately realized that the merchant was cheating him.

"Bastard! I'm going to peel off all your skin." Edith roared and was about to shoot.

"Crack." Taking advantage of the momentary distraction of the pirate captain, the businessman slapped the pirate captain hard on the face with the bag full of Berries in his hand.

The merchant's full blow did not hurt the captain of the pirate, but the bag rubbed against his eyes and made his vision blurred.He didn't care about shooting again, and in order to prevent the businessman from attacking later, he fell backwards and rolled away from the businessman on the spot.

When he regained his eyesight and was about to kill the bastard who made him feel ashamed, he found that colorful banknotes were floating in front of him, and the businessman had already fled to the distance under the cover of Berry, and kept yelling: "Help me!" Ah! Pirates have robbed and killed people, the navy is coming out!"

"Cunning mouse!" Enraged by the businessman's decisiveness and quickness, Captain Edith yelled at his subordinates who were moving things, but now they were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them: "A bunch of idiots! Kill that mouse quickly, we You can swallow the money and the goods together."

"Ow!" The pirates who were in a daze reacted when they heard the captain's words, coupled with the stimulus of Berri scattered all over the ground, they howled like wolves in unison, pulled out all kinds of weapons on their bodies, and Led by the one-eyed pirate, he chased after the businessman fiercely.

"Idiot, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and pick up all the money for me." Shouting at the confidant who took the money just now, Edith stood up from the ground, regardless of the hat that fell to the ground, a pair of fierce eyes The eyeballs in the small eyes rolled around. "I've done everything I need to do now, and the rest is none of my business. I have to take advantage of the time when One Eye leads those idiots to hold back the navy, and run away." Dieter suddenly heard a majestic and powerful shout from the front: "Fire!"

As the sound sounded, a row of sailors suddenly stood up under the rock in front of the pirates chasing the businessman, and started shooting fiercely at them.And the businessman running in the front immediately fell to the ground the moment he heard the sound, avoiding the gunshots.

"Charge!" As soon as the shooting ended, the majestic and powerful voice sounded again.

"Kill!" This time, the melee sailors with naval knives passed over the shooting comrades, and the shouters charged towards the pirates who had been stunned by the shooting just now.

"Damn One-Eyed, didn't you put on a wooden leg and plan to replace me as the captain? It collapsed so quickly." Edith saw the unexpected volley and charge of the navy, and threw himself The [-] or so pirates led by the first officer were defeated, and they couldn't help yelling.

Reluctantly looking at the money on the ground that he didn't even pick up a third, he could only stomp his feet resentfully, and said to his trusted pirate, "Retreat!" After saying that, he ran to the shore first.

Edith's escaping speed was astonishing. Looking at the tall and heavy body on the rocky coast, it was nimble like an antelope. When the sailors rushed to the position where he was standing just now, they had already boarded the small boat on the shore. .

Waiting impatiently until the cronies ran back to the boat with the money panting heavily, he immediately ordered to the pirate behind him: "Leave the boat immediately!"

Watching the boat slowly move away from the shore, and the navy rushing to the front had just caught up with the sea, Edith heaved a sigh of relief, "This time the mission is considered complete, and we will see the Blood Anchor Boss and the others later."
