Pirates: How many divisions does the Five Old Stars have?

Chapter 74 Strict Discipline
During the period when the Aaron Pirates ruled this sea area, all residents had to pay a monthly ransom fee to buy their own lives. The price was 10 Berries for adults and 5 Berries for children.

The 20 islands are not big islands. Cocosia Island, where Aaron Paradise is located, has 102 residents, which is already the largest island.

Moreover, due to the brutal rule of the Aaron Pirates, the population of each island has experienced outflow and negative growth in recent years.

Even so, the population under Aaron's rule still reached 1500 adults and 200 children.

In theory, Aaron and his gang can collect 1 million Baileys in redemption fees every month.

After 6 years, the total amount of this money has reached a staggering 115 billion, far exceeding the sum of the bounties of Roger and Whitebeard.

This is obviously unrealistic.

10 Baileys, equivalent to more than 5000 RMB.

This was the RMB in 1997 ("One Piece" was published in 1997, when the exchange rate between the RMB and the Japanese Yen was not much different from today).

In a poor and remote village like Cocosia, at the highest level, its per capita income is at most the average level of urban residents in mainland China in the 90s.

For a family of three, not counting food and drink expenses every month, it would cost as little as 2 yuan just to pay for their lives. This is simply a fantasy.

The county magistrate of the Republic of China, who raised the tax after 99, was ashamed of this,
Ma Qiao didn't quite understand how the yellow croakers of Aaron's group came up with such outrageous rules.

But it's clear that the fee scale has completely crumbled after draining the islanders' savings in the first few months.

Some things can be forced out by force.

But being poor is being poor.

Even if you drive people to death and suck out the marrow, it is impossible to make money.

A simple and stupid criminal group like Aaron doesn't know how to squeeze labor and create underground wealth like Brother Ming.

It will not be like the truly notorious criminal groups on the earth, who will exploit the human body in a physical sense.

Therefore, Aaron and his gang couldn't receive so much money at all.

Every time they collect protection fees, there is a huge gap, and they can only kill some people symbolically to maintain the high-pressure rule.

If they were to be strictly enforced, there would be no living people in their territory.

In addition, Aaron will use more than half of the money to bribe the navy, build Aaron Paradise, and maintain daily expenses. In fact, the savings left may not be much.

Otherwise, there is no need for Aaron to covet Nami's 1 million Baileys.

Taking a step back, Cocosia Village has a population of more than 100 anyway. If this village can really pay Aaron more than 1000 million Baileys per month...

How stupid is Nami to believe that Aaron will sell this old hen that can only lay golden eggs to her for 1 million Baileys?
In short, there are too many unreasonable things, and Ma Qiao can only attribute it to the poor math level of the murlocs.

The final counting result also conformed to Ma Qiao's judgment.

8 million Pele.

This is the number on the account book that Tucci handed over respectfully.

Using a hero with full loyalty as a key part is reassuring.

Ma Qiao doesn't need to point a firecracker at Duo Long's head like Lord Wei did, in order to get the real account book of Oboi who ransacked his family.

Of course, this ledger must not be the final ledger reported to the Navy headquarters.

It needs some artistic touches.

In front of all the elites in Genbu, it is not an exaggeration to say that the tricks of the little pirate in the East China Sea and the little corrupt officials in the countryside are corruption by Mamen.

A piece of toilet paper, a pair of underwear, both have their value.

As soon as these experts who wanted to get cards made a move, Aaron and his gang went straight to each other, and the undisguised low-level accounts were quickly clarified.

Not only that, at Tuqi's request, several experienced old confidantes also produced a seamless new ledger.

One in and one out, wipe zero and halve.

Tucci said with emotion: "Mr. Ma Qiao, this justice is really heavy!"

"That's right!"

Ma Qiao nodded, "Stay firmly in the dark, bear the burden of crime, and move forward with a burden. This is the righteous way of our root organization..."

As he said that, Ma Qiao turned each treasure box into Q coins with tears in his eyes.

……

a new day.

The morning sun shines through the window and sprinkles on a simple little bed.

"You bastard, don't go!"

Nami woke up from the dream screaming.

"Are you awake?"

Nuo Qigao pushed open the door, put breakfast on the table with a smile, "Go wash up, and then eat something."

A glass of milk, two oranges, and a slice of bread.

"I don't want milk!"

Not knowing what to think of, Nami waved her hands again and again.

"Huh? My wrist?"

At this time, Nami noticed that her hands had regained their freedom, and the gleaming handcuffs that had been with her for a long time were gone.

This made her feel inexplicably depressed.

"Drink more milk to grow up!"

Nuo Qigao was keenly aware of her sister's mood swings, and stepped forward to wrap her arms around Nami's neck:

"Don't worry, this is not Momoo's milk!"

"Huh, isn't it?"

Nami was stunned for a moment, and quickly picked up tons of milk and drank it down.

"tasty!"

Nami wiped her mouth and lowered her head expectantly: "Will it really grow up?"

"You should brush your teeth first!"

Nuo Qigao covered her forehead: "Who is behind her back saying that her lovely sister never brushes her teeth?"

"A little bit~~"

Nami stuck out her tongue at Nuo Qigao, turned around and ran to the bathroom.

Like an old mother looking at her daughter Huaichun, Nuo Qigao leaned on the door frame and smiled.

How long has it been since I saw Nami's relaxed expression and heartfelt smile?
that is really good……

Suddenly, she took out a phone bug with a big bird logo from behind her, showing a sly look on her face.

"Revenge is a big success!"

Nuo Qigao lightly pressed the broadcast button of the phone bug:

"The whore don't go~"

"Don't leave me~"

"Woooooo~ Joe~ Please~"

The imageless yelling voice in someone's dream came from the phone bug continuously...

...

After hastily washing up, Nami hurried to the pier.

The battle with Aaron's remnants yesterday, or the purge lasted until late at night.

As an important informant, Nami has been supporting the work of the Navy.

She even forgot when she lost consciousness and fell asleep, and then was sent home.

Fortunately, the flag of the navy is flying high, and four naval warships of different shapes are still moored in the harbor, filling this simple small hole to the brim.

Finding that someone hadn't left, Nami was suddenly happy again.

At this time, she noticed that the pier was very lively.

Villagers from several villages, including Cocosia Village, lined up under the command of root fighters.

"Could it be..."

Nami frowned.

"As expected of Mr. Ma Qiao!"

Dashiqi's emotion interrupted Nami's wild thoughts.

"Under his restraint, the 2 million Baileys seized from the murloc's lair were not taken by the root fighters, and they were strictly disciplined. All of them were distributed to the suffering people according to the list!"

"Ah? 2 million Baileys?"

Nami's eyes widened, "How could there be only 2 million Baileys? Aaron took so much money from the villagers!"

"Hey, pirates, of course they are a group of guys who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and are greedy for material comforts."

Da Siqi sighed: "The colleagues at Genbu have seized Aaron's account books. This guy spends more than 3000 million Baileys on teeth cleaning and dental care every year!"

Da Siqi touched the arm stabbed by Aaron, and made a rare joke: "Fortunately, he didn't bite him, otherwise it will be troublesome!"

Nami wanted to scold loudly:

What 3000 million Bailey's teeth cleaning fee, this is complete nonsense, okay!

As a cadre of the Aaron Pirates, although Nami is not in the core decision-making group, she can easily calculate the daily expenses of Aaron and his gang because of her gifted sensitivity to money.

Although this group of murlocs are not ascetic monks, they are not so extravagant!
"Ah, ah, are you also shocked by Mr. Ma Qiao's righteous deed?"

Da Siqi looked at Nami's angry expression with a smile, "Actually, Mr. Ma Qiao has done much more than that...Look at that notice...it seems to be called 'relief with work, military stationed in pastoral areas' plan ..."
