Dawn of Pirates

More than three days have passed.

Payne and Xiaonan successfully arrived at the capital of the Bam Kingdom and spent a day exploring the streets of the capital.

A wide street lined with beautifully built houses.

There are smiling people coming and going, all telling how happy the environment in which they live is.

Looking at the place in front of him that was shrouded in a peaceful atmosphere, Payne couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. Perhaps in the near future, this place would be destroyed by his arrival.

Suddenly, Payne felt his sleeve being pulled. When he looked down, Xiaonan was looking at him with doubtful eyes.

But regarding the environment here, there is nothing unusual about Xiao Nan. Before the destruction, Freifans was almost as prosperous as it was here.

She just saw Payne standing there in a daze, so she pulled Payne out of curiosity.

"Brother Payne, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Payne didn't say much, and took Xiaonan to find the most visited tavern in the capital.

As far as Payne successfully obtained information in the tavern last time, the tavern is indeed a gathering place for all kinds of information.

After casually finding a seat in a corner to sit down and ordering two pieces of food, the two of them began to taste it carefully.

No one in the tavern had any strange expressions about Payne and Xiaonan, who were almost completely wrapped in windbreakers. After all, it was December and it was getting cold.

This tavern deserves to be ranked among the best, with a really large flow of people.

Payne made a rough estimate, at least more than a hundred people.

They are either wealthy businessmen in fine clothes or day laborers in coarse cotton-padded jackets.

But everyone was talking loudly about something while clinking glasses with their companions.

Some talk about how much money someone’s business makes, and some talk about how high that person’s salary is.

They looked completely satisfied, and no one showed any dissatisfaction with this country.

Suddenly, one of the guests at a certain table in the tavern stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand and loudly said to his companions at the same table: "Everyone, I will send the most delicious Icelandic sturgeon to Mr. Calathes tomorrow."

This was obviously a deliberately loud sound made by the fisherman who had just returned from the sea to show respect for Calassis Todd.

"The Icelandic sturgeon is a very rare fish that is said to only appear in winter, and you are willing to give it up," someone said in surprise.

"Come on, the bowls in Lord Todd's house are all made of gold. How can I care about two broken fish like you?" one person replied to the fisherman.

"Tch, you are ignorant. Icelandic sturgeon is a good thing that is difficult to buy even with money. I haven't caught one in more than ten years." The fisherman dismissed the people who criticized him and said that this fish has How hard to catch.

......

The conversation in the tavern continued, but Payne had no intention of listening anymore.

He picked up the white cloth provided by the tavern and wiped it before getting up and leaving.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan swallowed the food on the plate in two mouthfuls and hurried to follow.

By a small river in the capital.

Xiaonan looked curiously at Payne, who had said nothing since the beginning.

After a long time, Xiaonan finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked aloud: "Brother Payne, what's wrong with you? There's been something wrong with you since you entered the city."

Payne still didn't answer Konan.

Instead, he turned back to Xiaonan and said softly: "It's okay."

Then he turned around and stared at the river in a daze.

down one day.

In the sight of Payne's Samsara Eye, the people of this country are living a very happy life, and their smiles are full of sincerity without a trace of hypocrisy.

Everyone is doing their best in their job.

But what Payne heard most from them was the praise and respect for Calaxis Todd, the financial officer of this country, just like the fisherman in the tavern.

So Calathes, who are you and why do you mess with guys like Doflamingo?

Payne was filled with doubts.

From the beginning, he was confused about Doflamingo's so-called mission.

A pirate family that almost dominated the North Sea launched an assassination mission against the financial officer of a small country.

At first, Payne thought it was just misleading information given to him by Doflamingo, but now it seems that Calathes Todd is indeed the financial officer of the Bam Kingdom.

So, what was the reason that made him get into trouble with a villain like Doflamingo?

For such a person who is loved by the people of his country, can he really kill him? Or is there any reason to kill him?

Such questions have been lingering in Payne's mind all day today.

As night fell, Payne still hadn't figured it out.

But no matter what, as a bargaining chip in the transaction, Payne decided to take it.

But that would have to wait until Kisame and Itachi came over.

Anyway, Doflamingo didn't ask how long it would take to complete the task.

Let the people of this country love their treasurer more than his family for a while.

"Let's go, find a place to rest first."

Payne stopped thinking about it and took Xiaonan to find a hotel where each person stayed in a room.

And the dock at night.

Seven or eight pirate ships of various sizes approached.

The financial official's residence in the capital.

More than a dozen guys, either strong or vicious, gathered together.

They were both the captain and vice-captain of the pirate ship docked at the dock.

Such a group of guys who were supposed to be fighting each other for food at sea, drawing swords at each other every moment, now sit together in harmony, and even have a glass of wine with each other from time to time.

"I don't know what the urgency is for Mr. Todd to call us all back in such a hurry." A man with a vulture tattoo on his face and an extremely thin body looked towards the pirates who were walking away while drinking. Asking.

"I don't know, we just came back not long ago." A tall and mighty-looking man took a sip from the wine barrel, and then replied in a deep voice.

"Hey, old bird, why are you talking so much nonsense? Just listen to Mr. Todd's affairs." Another man with a long and narrow scar on his face put the wine glass on the table at hand and said to the tattooed man. .

Obviously, their relationship is very good. The tattooed man was not angry when the scarred man called him an indecent nickname. Instead, he smiled and retorted: "If everyone is as brainless as you, those fleshy The pigs are probably going to rebel."

"They cut it. Even if I give them ten thousand courages with my ghost knife, no one dares to look me in the eyes. Hahahahaha." Regarding the pig in the tattoo's mouth, the scarred man laughed and cursed with great disdain.
