Pirate's Plant Fruit

Chapter 680 The Vicissitudes of Magic Valley City
But he couldn't believe that Grandet would hire such a person.

You must know that Grandet, who is good at calculating, will never use such a person to serve him.

Old John also saw the doubts of the chairman of the shipping company, and he explained: "This is really a long story."

The president of the shipping company then asked: "Mayor Grandet will order you to be a port officer?"

Old John shook his head and said, "Of course not, and Mayor Grandet is already dead."

The chairman of the shipping company said in shock: "What!"

Old John continued: "Mayor Grandet died in the battle with the Ape Mountain United Army, and the security forces and guards were also destroyed. Because of this, his rule is also over. Now the people of the Ape Mountain Allied Army are in control of this place. city."

Old John patiently told the president of the shipping company about the matter.

Moreover, he is very calm. If it were someone else, he would have been elated because of his hatred for Grandet.

The chairman of the shipping company nodded after hearing this, and said, "It turns out to be like this."

Old John asked again: "I also read the information of your shipping company, which shows that you went to Alabasta to do business before. But I didn't expect things to turn out like this after you came back."

The chairman of the shipping company nodded and said, "I really didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Old John suddenly said: "Since you are going to Alabasta to do business, I am afraid it is to obtain some local specialties?"

The shipping company glanced at the merchant ships behind them, and said to Old John: "Ah, yes. Strictly speaking, we brought back a lot of antiques."

Old John looked at the merchant ships and said, "Antiques, it's good to be able to bring these things back. And I have to explain something to you."

The chairman of the shipping company suddenly became serious when he saw Old John's expression.

He asked, "What's the matter?"

Old John said with a serious face: "The shipping company has actually become the public property of all the residents of Magic Valley City. After Grandet's death, the industries he built by exploitation and monopoly during his lifetime were taken into public ownership."

The chairman of the shipping company was speechless. He looked at Old John and asked, "So that's the case. Then our current owner is no longer Grandet."

Old John suddenly softened his tone again, and said, "But don't worry about your safety. After all, the people in the economic industry are not at fault, they were just hired by Grandet. From now on, you can continue to work in the shipping company."

The expression of the chairman of the shipping company also became a little more relaxed.

He originally thought that anyone who had served Grandet before would be implicated.

The chairman of the shipping company asked again: "Since this is the case, then I would like to ask. Apart from the defeat of Grandet by the Yuanshan United Army, did anything else happen in Magic Valley City?"

Old John said: "Other things? After Grandet's death, Bellamy tried to take the opportunity to seize the dominance of Magic Valley City. But he was defeated by the Ape Mountain United Army."

The chairman of the shipping company took another look at the giant offshore dock in the port waters, and asked again: "But the giant offshore dock of the Ape Mountain Allied Forces also sank. They are also victorious."

Old John shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The Ape Mountain United Army defeated the Grandet forces. But this giant offshore dock was sunk when it was fighting the Bellamy forces later."

The chairman of the shipping company looked at Old John and said, "So that's the case. The pirate group that has been dormant on the reef island in the northeast of Gaya Island all year round is a powerful terror."

The president of the shipping company has also heard about the strength of the Bellamy Pirates.

He didn't expect that the Bellamy Pirates would come to participate in the battle when the Aruyama United Army defeated the Grandet forces.

The chairman of the shipping company added: "Then, will the Aruyama Allied Forces continue to fight the Bellamy Pirates?"

Old John said: "Before, the Ape Mountain United Army only controlled the Magic Valley City, but the Bellamy Pirates are still the main force. The two sides will continue to fight."

The chairman of the shipping company said: "It turns out to be like this."

After such a conversation, the chairman of the shipping company also understood the general situation.

Old John said: "Because of the existence of the Ape Mountain United Army, the people of Magic Valley City elected some temporary administrators like us. So I became the management officer of the port because of everyone's nomination."

The chairman of the shipping company said, "I see."

Old John said again: "Okay, you can take down the goods. Let's register them in detail by the way."

The chairman of the shipping company said, "Okay."

He waved to the surrounding crew and said, "You guys transport those antiques down, be careful."

These crew members then began to move out boxes of antiques from various merchant ships and send them to the dock through the ladders they built.

These antiques were transported to the pier to be registered and counted in turn.

At the same time, on the streets close to the port area of ​​Magic Valley City.

Usopp is shopping with Chopper and Luffy.

The three talked and laughed while shopping.

Of course, the dazzling array of goods in the shops on both sides of the street, especially food, are often things that the three of them are willing to spend in their pockets.

"Wow! It looks delicious!"

Chopper stopped in front of a candy store, and he had a cute expression on his face, facing a giant lollipop.

This lollipop is a disc-shaped spiral lollipop with rainbow-like colors inside. Because of its excellent workmanship, it looks like a rainbow that can be eaten.

Not only Chopper, but also Usopp and Luffy's eyes were attracted by this visually attractive wave lollipop.The three seem to be able to eat this delicious candy with their eyes.

"How about it? Kid, do you want one? This is the most signature seven-color rainbow lollipop in our store."

The owner of the confectionery shop is smiling.

Chopper instantly became embarrassed.

"Really, you actually called me a kid."

Chopper twitched, feeling very embarrassed.

Luffy looked at these seven-colored rainbow lollipops very enviously, and said, "I want it too."

Usopp looked at these lollipops that looked like colorful rainbow blooms, and said, "I'll have one too."

The three of them quickly took out their money and bought five rainbow-like lollipops.

Among them, Chopper has two, Luffy has two, and Usopp has one.

"Delicious, really delicious."

Chopper grabbed a lollipop with both hooves, licked the left one, and then licked the right one.

"Delicious. Really delicious!"

Luffy stuffed two lollipops into his mouth in one breath, stretching his mouth wide.Only two sticks are left exposed.
