The profiteer on the Grand Line [One Piece]

Arrangements were quickly made, and the young king stood in high spirits on top of his palace.

Seeing the dusty subjects underground, the disgusted expression on his face could hardly be concealed.

Why are his people such trash!

but……

After thinking about his good luck, a smile appeared on the young king's face again.

He officially appeased the people below for a while, but the cheers and gratitude that he expected did not appear, and they didn't even respond that much to what he said about taking a day off.

The young king's face was not very pretty, and he was cursing something in a low voice.

It's just that these people don't work hard enough, don't know how to make money, and don't have strong strength to protect them.

Over the years, the amount of money paid to the Heavenly Gold was really huge, and even he couldn't afford it.

And they used to be a relatively prosperous place, with rich supplies and unique charm, and it was somewhat famous. But since he took office, the group of losers he leads have become more and more frustrated, unable to accomplish anything, and they want to take money out of his pocket all day long.

You want money even though you are a waste? !

What a beautiful thought!

The more he thought about it, the more angry the young king became. He looked at the large group of people standing below, and the disgust in his heart became more and more obvious.

But now there is still a place where the other party can be used, and he hasn't shown it yet.

The maritime merchant claims to be able to sell anything, and there are three ways to trade with him.

The first type is the most common type of trading materials on the Grand Line, and you can buy many useful things from the other party.

The second type is more difficult, and you want to buy something that is rarely sold on the market, as well as something that exists in fantasy and is not sure whether it actually exists. It needs to be obtained by drawing cards, which all depends on face, but everyone knows that it is definitely worthwhile to draw a card and pay a price of 10 million to buy something that is difficult to buy.

The third type is more advanced and more urgent.

As the other party said, there is everything in the merchant's counter at sea.

You need to trade to buy what you want.

But the third option is best not to be chosen except when desperate. There are countless rumors.

You can buy many things from the other party, including life span, talent, and time.

But no one knows what you will pay for those.

There was once a strong man who completed a deal with the other party at the end of his life. He bought ten years to extend his life.

But what he paid for was his strength.

You can live without worrying that you will die soon, but you become a helpless ordinary person who will soon be killed by your enemies.

No one knows whether such a deal is a good deal.

Soon, the young king stopped thinking about this and looked at the group of people in front of him.

Having recruited courtiers who were more eloquent, Young Foreigner did not continue to struggle with this matter.

He looked at the woman on the high platform below. She was dressed in red and stood out of place with the others. She was like a rose blooming in the wilderness, absorbing all the nutrients and blooming beautifully. And strange flowers.

With a charm that transcends everything else.

"Huh, she's just a woman. When I get what I want..." The young king snorted disdainfully and quickly looked away.

Ace and the others were also standing on the palace at this time, and they could clearly see that many of the soldiers wearing armor had been replaced.

The faces hidden under the helmet are those of pirates, with smiles full of joking and cruelty.

Looking at all this, Andrea had no reaction. A mantis stalks a cicada. Everyone wants to be that oriole, but only if they have the strength.

Ace was still a little angry, but Marco and the others next to him were already used to all this.

The sea is relatively stable now. With the Four Emperors in awe and the Shichibukai encircling the area, the sea has been quiet for a long time.

But when the Age of Discovery first began, there was chaos everywhere.

They are pirates, a symbol of freedom and synonymous with brutal robbery.

However, the Whitebeard Pirates still regard many territories as their other home.

No longer thinking about these things, the people below were somewhat shocked after hearing the whole situation.

Originally, they heard that businessmen were coming to buy some things. These people had no idea because they had no money.

It can be heard that the ore dug by each of them will be converted into money and all will be disposed of by them. At this time, they were shocked.

Could it be that they had misunderstood the king all along?

In fact, the king's oppression is just to make them live a hard life for a period of time, so that they don't have to worry about being invaded by pirates in the future?

Although he didn't say it explicitly, that's probably what the person above meant.

The other party is eloquent and good at drawing cakes.

Attribute the suffering of these people over the years to the king's humiliation and the sake of a brighter future.

Many people were a little shaken by his blow.

perhaps……

Is what he said true?

If it is true, how should they face this king? Once upon a time, they felt that the king was a barbaric man who only knew oppression and did not care about the life and death of his subjects, but now... it seems that they have misunderstood?

The king was unable to help himself, but he was still trying his best to help them.

Although they were puzzled, these people didn't say anything more and just waited in line quietly.

His originally cold heart began to beat unconsciously.

Andrea didn't say anything more. She looked at everyone calmly, without any unnecessary expression because of their embarrassing appearance.

"What's on your mind?"

"I, I want to have a full meal." The person who was asked by Andrea stuttered a little, and he rubbed his hands on his clothes a few times.

Looking at the beautiful card in front of him, an indescribable feeling of inferiority emerged from the bottom of his heart.

The woman's eyes were still staring at each other, but her beautiful glazed eyes seemed to have undergone some changes.

The scarlet color emerges, very much like the devil in the story who can enchant people.

The man who was very uncomfortable with that gaze lowered his head and did not dare to say anything else.

"Don't you want to have power?"

"Don't you want to use your hands to protect the person you want to protect?"

"Do you still want to live the same life as before? That kind of precarious life where you can't control your own destiny."

As the woman spoke every word, the heart that had been cold for a long time seemed to be ignited.

The man raised his face and looked at the people in front of him and nodded heavily, "I want to protect them! Protect my wife and children!"

At least, at least don’t let my children be like me!

The corners of the woman's mouth seemed to move, but her expression remained indifferent, "Then just think about what's in your heart."

To protect, pick up the mine, pick up the hoe, and fight.

No one can save you but yourselves.
