Traveler in the Pirate World

The unique climate phenomenon has created a unique natural environment on the Grand Route. Summer stays permanently on this island, and the vegetation is lush and verdant, with tall trees reaching into the sky, as if they will flourish forever and never decline.

In the harbor city before us, white tree trunks grow straight upwards. Standing at their feet and looking up, it looks like pillars supporting a sky made up of countless transparent leaves.

The transparent, slightly white leaves, like pieces of crystal, refract the sunlight and draw an interlaced colorful picture at the top of the trunks. The scattered golden light and colorful clouds converge and fall to the ground, making the city look particularly gorgeous.

The colorful halo swayed with the leaves above, just like countless clouds floating in the wind above a rosy sky.

The locals call this peculiar tree Caixiatian. The place where they grow also means that the town will be located there. Compared with the city, the area behind is completely covered with vegetation, and the green covers the sky, making everything look dim and dark; the ground is damp and muddy, and the jungle is filled with deadly miasma at night. On this island, the Caixiatian is the most suitable area for people to survive.

Guanhai docked at the port. Lily put down the ladder and slowly walked down. Walking in the busy port, her arrival did not seem to attract any attention from anyone here.

The girl, with a cloth on her head and a camera in her hand, took pictures of everything around her that she found interesting and carefully wrote down special notes for them.

The architectural style here is very different from what you have seen before. The wooden houses are supported by the trunks of the colorful trees and built high in the air, forming a multi-layered structure surrounding the giant trees. Roads made of vines and wooden boards connect with each other above, thus forming a town where people live.

Judging from the merchant ships coming from all over the world in the harbor, this is a prosperous town that is very popular among sea merchants. The harbor is the only open area in the entire city without colorful clouds, and it can be regarded as the most open place in the city, so all the large-scale cargo transactions here are gathered here.

Dressed in white, Lily seemed like an elf wandering among the crowd unnoticed, moving among them with ease. She would stand by the ship piled with cargo boxes, watching the shirtless, muscular men sweating profusely as they loaded and unloaded cargo on the ship.

Sometimes I would squat in front of a stall displaying strange goods, looking at those small items that I had already known about but were still novel. If I found something I liked, I would bargain for a long time before happily buying it, even though many of them were of no practical use.

She walks in this world, but seems not to belong to this world. She steps among the crowd, but seems to be wandering outside the crowd.

In this world, apart from the sacred and inviolable noble towns, it is extremely rare to find an island like this that is prosperous and not invaded by pirates.

There are many possibilities for such a stable development, but they are not too different. Either there is a powerful naval branch stationed on the island, or the island is protected by the Four Emperors of the Sea, or the island itself is of great value and the forces stationed on it are complex, thus forming a stable situation of mutual restraint and mutual exclusion. Caixia Island belongs to the third party.

If the Chagos Archipelago became a prosperous and stable island because of the Yarchiman mangroves and its geographical location and political factors, then the Rainbow Island became a prosperous place in the ocean because of its rich natural resources and the uniqueness of the Rainbow trees themselves.

In this harbor alone, Lily saw members of many forces, among whom Charlotte Nusted from the BIGMAM Pirates was considered to be one of the top figures active on this island during this period.

His purpose was simple: to buy some fresh meat from the unique animal Xiapei pig on Caixia Island for his family and mother. Although Charlotte Lingling loves sweets, it is undeniable that delicacies like Xiapei pig are also not to be missed for foodies.

Lily squatted by the boat, looking at the big pig with smooth and translucent skin reflecting the glow of the sky. She poked the white pig's nose with her hand, causing it to groan a few times in discomfort.

Lab was lying on top of Lily, also looking at her, thinking about how the big pigs would look like after being cooked. Unfortunately, they were too small, and even if they were strung together in a long string, they would not be enough to eat.

Lily reached out her hand, patted and pinched the big pig, then nodded seriously and said to Lab, "The meat is good, let's go buy some." Apart from not liking Charlotte Linlin's sugar-heavy diet, Lily was quite optimistic about the BIGMAM Pirates' vision for selecting ingredients.

The arrival of a new era has brought many changes to the world, but many things have never changed.

Even in the Sabaody Archipelago, which is the territory of the Celestial Dragons, fights and illegal incidents often occur, and the same is true here.

Dozens of illusory figures were fighting fiercely in the city. From time to time, one or two figures fell from the sky. The moment they hit the ground, they became cold, and their blood dyed the soil red.

That was a fight between local gangs. As one of the unstable factors in this world, the dark forces were no more gentle than the pirates. It was just that one was a mobile crime and the other was a targeted oppression.

Lily stood at the edge of the wooden road, leaning against the vine-woven guardrail, quietly watching them fight to the death. Then she saw a guy who was eating pork chop rice unfortunately got his face splashed with blood by a corpse that had escaped from the mirror world. The guy drew his sword angrily and rushed into the battlefield.

The moment of time and space overlapping caused his body to stagnate for a moment, and the guys who sensed it concentrated their fire on him. Without any defense, he took dozens of bullets and a shell. If he was not far superior to ordinary people, this series of attacks would have made him die in regret.

Before the smoke cleared, dense golden needles shot out from the thick smoke, and the sky suddenly turned into a bloody rain. Dozens of human figures fell powerlessly from the sky, and many unlucky guys were hit directly. The unfortunate people died instantly.

Charlotte Nustadi angrily broke away from the mirror world, looking very disheveled. She glanced around with an unfriendly look, which scared many people away.

"These damn guys not only ruined my food, but also attacked me. Go find out what kind of power they are. I'm going to make them pay." Charlotte Nustadi left with her men without any intention of paying, leaving the boss looking at the messy table with a worried look on his face.

Xiapei pork is an extremely expensive food ingredient for merchants like them, but it was completely consumed by the other party today. He could already imagine that at the end of the month, after the Kingdom Army came to collect the rent and tea money, a large group of gangsters would come to collect the so-called protection money to protect them from being harmed by them. He would not be able to take out the money and would be expelled.

He was helpless and angry, but what could he do? He could do nothing. Even if he chased after them to seek revenge, even if he fought back desperately, the only result he would get was a bloody head and his family would die together.

Different from those bloodthirsty guys, they just want to live a peaceful and stable life, but this is not easy at all in this chaotic world.

"God, why don't you save us!" He couldn't help but whisper, but he didn't know that the girl named God was standing beside him, looking at him quietly, without any ripples in her eyes.

The nobles do not treat them as human beings, the pirates are cruel and rude, and the local gangs make their survival difficult.

As for the navy, the boss doesn't know what to think of them. It is undeniable that there are many good guys among them, but unfortunately they are not there most of the time. But there are more of them as a group of ordinary people who sit in their positions and do nothing. They are like most ordinary people, afraid of power and strength, selfish and self-interested, afraid of trouble and things, and just regard the navy as a stable job rather than a responsibility and belief. The worse guys are in cahoots with those gangster pirates, and their actions are even more ruthless and unreasonable than those guys.

Many times, the boss actually felt that the world was hopeless, and sometimes when he was drunk he would regret bringing his children into this chaotic world. He walked to the guardrail and stared at the ground blankly, and he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​jumping down, but after a long time he chose to back off because he still had children to take care of.

He looked back at the darkness behind the Caixiatian jungle. It was the most miserable place in the kingdom and would be where he would live in the future. From now on, he would have to be wary of most of the people around him, and would have to pick up his spear and bow and arrow to go deep into the dangerous jungle, risking his life to hunt wild beasts, and using the meat and plants that could be sold at sky-high prices here to exchange for food that could barely fill his stomach.

He had seen many people like this before, but he had never thought about how helpless and sad he would be when this day came upon him.

Feeling desperate but having to face this sad and ridiculous life, he turned and walked into the shop, looked at the pork chop rice stained with human blood, sat down upright, and ate it voraciously. This might be the last delicious meal in his life.

Lily looked at the restaurant owner, who was sitting in the customer's seat, eating a meal stained with human blood. She shook her head and turned away. "All those who are waiting to be saved will never be saved, because it is never just others who save you. The seeds of power have already fallen, but how many people have the faith and qualifications to pick it up?"
