Raise a glass to ignite the world of One Piece

The Jiuxian set off from Batleyra Island and headed for the Kingdom of Sobel.

As Wenn said, it is certainly not as easy to get high-end filling equipment on the small Batleyra Island as in the Sobel Kingdom, a large island.

Well, why can't Wayne make wine bottles?

Of course, Wayne's main purpose is to go to Sobel Kingdom to investigate.

And not just because he's very, very interested in bears.

It's because there should be some interesting characters hidden in the dark.

"President, the front is the last supply island before arriving at Sobel Kingdom."

Carl looked carefully at the chart and marked the position corresponding to the island that appeared ahead.

Although navigation is half-baked, that's only for the great route.

In the South China Sea, his navigation skills can still reach the average level.

"Then go and have a look, and add some food by the way."

Wayne stretched out from the captain's cabin.

"I'm tired of eating fish all the time. Speaking of which, there are very few Neptunes in the world."

The area of ​​the four seas is much larger than the great route.

Therefore, it may take a few days to reach an island on the great route, but if it is in the four seas, it may take several months to sail.

Of course, the Kingdom of Sobel is relatively close to Batlila. Even so, it will take more than a week of sailing.

They have sailed for five days.

"Tsk, I didn't feel it when I experienced life and death at sea.

"After staying in Batleyla for a few days, I began to yearn for the land——

"Get ready to land on the island!"

"Yes, President!"

William took care of the Brewmaster, and Wayne and Carl went to the island together to purchase food and supplies.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Uh... Carl, have you ever been to this island before?"

After walking not far, the corner of Wayne's mouth twitched.

Not far in front of them, there were explosions and gunshots in a shop that looked relatively normal just now.

Immediately afterwards, thick smoke rose, and there was no doubt that the shop was looted.

But then the looters didn't run out with their things, but were blasted out by the shopkeeper holding the bazooka.

"Boom..."

The explosion sounded in the street, and the robbers who had run in to grab things before were blown up.

Then, another wave of delinquent teenagers dressed in gaudy clothes rushed over, ransacked this wave of hapless robbers, and walked away...

"What's the situation with this Tema!"

Carl's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but swear:

"This island is called 'Spitzpeer Island,' or 'Bear Island,' and we have indeed been here before...

"But back then it was very quiet and peaceful here!"

"Tsk, isn't there a naval station here? Doesn't matter?"

Wayne shook his head, although he is always stationed on the Great Route, does Four Seas have a mission to come.

He has indeed never been to this island, but usually such islands that can even be built into cities have navy stationed there.

Karl scratched his head when he heard this, and sighed:

"Uh, the country on this island doesn't seem to be a member of the world government."

"Well, that's how it is."

Wayne also gave up his plan to use the color of knowledge to find a naval station.

"If you are not a member country, if you don't pay the 'Heavenly Gold', you will not be protected by the Navy."

"Heavenly Gold", the huge amount of wealth that the member countries of the world government pay tribute to the "world nobles" Tianlong people every year.

That is, the protection fee paid by the member countries to the world government.

In the ever-increasing era of great piracy, even more countries spared no effort to collect "gold from the sky" in order to obtain the protection of the navy.

Of course, it seems that there are more countries that use this excuse to double down on plundering their people.

Therefore, part of the bad reputation of the pirates comes from their real atrocities.

The other part also comes from the more demanding "heavenly gold" tribute they indirectly contributed to.

If you don't join or pay, you'll just wait to be robbed by pirates or attacked by enemy countries.

It's that realistic.

So why fight for the justice of the world and the safety of the people...

The navy probably thought so.

But the world government made the justice of the navy inherently with irreparable flaws.

"Well, although it is said that there is no gain if you don't pay for things in the world, one is 'excessive' and the other is 'hypocrisy'.

"The world government's operation of desperately squeezing and praising its own merits is really disgusting.

"Compared to being killed by pirates, I'm afraid starving to death because you can't pay the money in the sky is a more miserable way to die."

Carl has lived through life and death and seems to be open to these things.

He and William also paid the price for Wayne's protection.

their loyalty.

But first it was voluntary.

Secondly, not only can you survive, but you can live better.

Give it your all and die a miserable death.

For businessmen, they would rather die with wealth.

[Heh, for many people, BIGMOM's plan of charging life in exchange for asylum seems much more benevolent in comparison. 】

Wayne thought silently, shaking his head slightly.

Karl is a businessman, and now he can also be said to be a desperado.

What's more, he is now a subordinate of himself, the "Dragon Slayer".

The reverence for the World Government and the Draconians has long since vanished.

But he also followed the trading principles of a businessman.

Looking at the protection of the troops stationed by the world government to the member countries from the perspective of "transactions", the country and the people are undoubtedly doing a loss-making business.

"From time to time, some countries will be kicked out of the franchise countries because they can't pay the sky money, and then perish for various reasons.

"However, regardless of whether he was kicked out or not, the rampant banditry seems to be the prelude to death."

Wayne stepped forward, and some eyes around the street seemed to be in front of him in his perception.

"Karl, throw these guys into the sea and calm down."

"Yes, President!"

"Shua!"

"ah!"

"Plop!"

"Pfft! Who! Which bastard..."

"Plop, plop..."

Wayne walked forward calmly, and Carl's figure disappeared from his side.

Then, one after another exclamation and the sound of falling into the water came.

"It's done, President!"

Carl took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and shook his head triumphantly. It only took thirty seconds.

This pocket watch was bought with the pocket money given by Wayne when he was in Batleyla.

When he started to study new moves under the inspiration of Wayne, he found that this pocket watch was particularly "suitable" for his "temperament".

"The moving distance has improved, and the strength has also increased, but the movements are still a bit muddy."

Wayne's comment poured cold water on Carl, and his eyelids drooped.

"I will try my best... um!!"

Carl suddenly felt as if his head had been hit by something, and he felt dizzy for a while.

"This, this is..."

"ah!!!"

In the distance, a teenager's wailing filled with despair and anger sounded.

Karl turned his head with difficulty, but saw that the people nearby, as well as the robbers who had just been thrown into the sea and climbed up, were already foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground!

"This is... Overlord-like domineering!"

Wayne looked seriously in the direction of the voice.

His sense of knowledge has been turned on, and the anger and hatred that seem to be real are filling his senses.

"Did you just wake up..."
