Raise your glass and ignite the world of One Piece

"Picking up trash" is something we often encounter near windless zones all over the world.

Every year, countless pirates go to sea and head to the Grand Line in a self-righteous way.

Therefore, it is unknown how many pirates are buried in the Grand Line every year.

And among them, there are quite a few pirate groups who are somewhat powerful and will desperately want to return to the four seas.

There are many successful ones.

Their only way is to cross the windless zone.

But with their strength, it is basically impossible to break out of the windless zone.

The auxiliary power of sailing boats is no longer something out of reach in this era because of Vegapunk's great "energy unification" invention.

It can be obtained even if many pirate groups try their best.

This is also what they rely on to cross the windless zone.

In addition, it requires excellent luck and enough sacrifices——

When being chased by a large sea king, all you need to do is run faster than other ships.

Every year, there will be people who are lucky enough to cross the windless zone and return to Sihai miserably.

With their strength, they might be able to dominate the world, but when they first came out of the Windless Zone, they were definitely at their weakest.

At this time, if they are targeted by pirates from all over the world, even those who have fought on the Grand Route may be capsized directly.

Then, the treasures, goods, weapons, and the most precious sea maps from the Grand Route will become the nourishment for the new pirate group to conquer the Grand Route.

Even if you are very lucky, you may encounter shipwrecks or cargo that simply drift out from the windless zone.

Although there is no wind in the windless zone, large-scale Neptune activities and the existence of deep ocean currents will still cause seawater to flow.

Therefore, many pirate groups come to "pick up trash" around the Windless Zone every year.

Legend has it that there are people who are lucky enough to pick up Devil Fruits!

Karl and William had seen such a situation when they were working hard in the South China Sea.

They even saw with their own eyes the wreckage floating out of the windless zone.

So if you want to get a sea map, robbing these garbage guys is undoubtedly the most reliable way.

In fact, within half a day, they saw a pirate ship as they wished.

Then within 10 minutes, Wien obtained a South China Sea chart of average quality.

As for the pirate group, both the people and the ship have sunk to the bottom of the sea.

"Tsk, I'm still not used to pirates."

Wayne stood on the bow of the Brewmaster, feeling a little regretful.

"After all, this is a pirate with a bounty of more than 800 million, so it can be considered an income.

"I'm not a navy anymore, I can trade them for bounties!"

"Oh, what a pity. We are now penniless, and all of it was taken away by Nine Snakes... ahem."

William nodded in agreement, with a look of uncontrollable physical pain on his face:

"How about I go down and fish out the pirate captain after the whirlpool of the shipwreck disappears?"

He is the only one who is not capable, so only he can do this.

"Forget it, we have to wait a while."

Wayne shook his head. Now he just wants to get ashore as quickly as possible:

"Let's go to the island first. I still have some money here, which should be enough for starting capital."

"If you set up a wine club, even if the president has the ability to make wine, the amount of money required for packaging, warehousing, transportation, publicity, etc. is not a small amount."

William counted on his fingers and was still ready to move on the bubbling shipwreck whirlpool:

"Or else..."

"9000 million beli, is that enough?"

"Karl, let's go to the nearest island. I don't want to stay at sea for a moment!"

"..."

……

"Ah, I feel like I've been completely transformed!"

After parking the boat and finding a store to change into new clothes, William and Carl truly felt that they had come to life.

What they experienced during this period of time made the two young people suspect that they were dreaming from time to time.

"Well, let's find a place to eat."

Wayne put on a brand new outfit and felt relaxed.

New sunglasses, new hat, new shirt, new black windbreaker, new leather boots, plus a little beard on the chin——

Wayne felt that no one would recognize him now.

"President, William, do you feel strange?"

We found a tavern and the three of us ordered a lot of delicious food.

But while waiting for the food to be served, Karl frowned thoughtfully.

"From the time we landed on the island, the people we met included young people, middle-aged people, the elderly and children."

His sharp eyes once again circled this, which can be said to be a very large local tavern, and he lowered his voice and said:

"But it seems like we haven't even seen a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy!"

Generally speaking, in the town, young people of this age are the most active.

"Huh? It's indeed a bit weird."

William didn't pay as much attention as Karl, but thought about it carefully:

"We visited a lot of places on this island, and we finally came to eat."

When he was the same age as Karl, he had already started working to save money.

As far as he knew, young people of this age here in Nanhai should have already gone deep into all walks of life and begun to learn to be independent.

It's so weird that not a single young man appears on such a big island!

"Well, do you still remember the name of this island?"

Wayne has been silent since Karl raised the question.

Only now was he speaking out for the first time.

"Of course, this is Batlila. It's not very big, but the scenery is beautiful."

Karl nodded:

"William and I actually came here before, but that was about five or six years ago."

"Well, then it's normal that you don't know."

Wayne pulled the brim of his hat and his voice became deeper:

"Because of this island, a whole generation was killed by the navy!"

"what!!?"

William and Karl covered their mouths tightly.

They couldn't believe what they heard.

"By...Navy?!"

When they were in the Windless Belt, since Sandasonia and the others had recognized Wayne's identity, he did not continue to hide it from William and Karl.

One can imagine the shock when these two people found out his identity.

But instead of fear, it was followed by reverence.

Partly because Wayne saved their lives.

On the other hand, they also hated the Shichibukai system.

Indirectly, he became dissatisfied with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

As for the Navy...

As businessmen, they certainly have a lot of contact.

All I can say is that there are all kinds of people.

They had seen navies protecting caravans and navies extracting bribes from caravans.

But overall, they were pretty good to the people.

And now, they heard from Wayne for the first time such atrocities committed by the navy!

"Why, why?"

William felt that his throat was dry, and he looked around nervously.

The tavern is buzzing with people, but if you keep your voice down...

"Let's wait until we take a bath. Eat now."

The food started to be served. Wayne's appetite and his drinking capacity were two extremes.

But Wayne ate happily, but William and Karl felt that their stomachs, which were originally hungry, didn't feel at all now.

"Why...why?!"
