Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

Haiyuan calendar year 1512.

East China Sea.

Golome Islands, Cocoa West Village.

The sun is shining brightly, the sea breeze is gentle, and from time to time a few seagulls soar in the sky. The village is filled with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

A ship with a red hull, a pointed shark bow, a black sail hanging on the mast, and a red shark pattern on it suddenly hit the edge of the pier and stopped.

“The pirates are coming! Everyone, hide quickly…”

“There are pirates approaching the shore, everyone, run away!”

“That’s…the Dragon Pirates!?

Is it true that the Fish-Man Pirates split?”

On the loess road of the village, a young man ran quickly and shouted wildly, breaking the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere of the village and causing the villagers to panic. People hid in their homes one after another, preparing to pack up their money and leave.

“Scared hahaha!”

Following a burst of arrogant laughter, a sawtooth shark man wearing a black hood and purple skin walked into the village with a group of fishmen.

“Hello you all!

Useless humans, from this moment on, this village…

No! This island will be under my control from now on! “The evil dragon opened his hands, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

“Listen to me, on this memorable day, you will spend money from me to buy your own life!

One hundred thousand beli for adults, fifty thousand beli for children… Anyone who can’t pay will die!

Moreover, every month from now on, you need to pay so much money, otherwise you will still die… Do you understand? ”

After saying that, the evil dragon waved his hand and asked the twenty brothers behind him to start collecting protection fees from each household one after another.

Due to the menacing attack of the Dragon Pirates, the villagers could only choose to swallow their anger and pay the money honestly. They planned to find another opportunity in the future to report this matter to the navy…

After a while, with the cooperation of the villagers, the fishmen of the Dragon Pirates quickly collected a sack of money.

“Hey! Xiaoba, how much money did you receive?”

The evil dragon turned his head and looked to his side, where he saw an eight-handed octopus fish man.

“Almost 25 million Baileys…”

Octopus Xiaoba first responded, then he looked into the distance with slight surprise and shouted:

“Eh!? Brother Evil Dragon, smoke is rising from the edge of the village!

There should still be people living there! ”

“Okay, let’s go over there and have a look…”

Hearing this, the evil dragon turned his head and glanced, then stood up and led twenty of his younger brothers to the orange grove on the edge of the village.

“That’s Bellemere’s home over there…?”

“With their family’s financial conditions, I don’t know if they can afford the protection fee.”

“It might work?

It seems like people from their family come to order oranges every year…”

The somewhat worried villagers could only cautiously follow behind the Dragon Pirates and others.

…………

In an orange grove on the edge of the village, in a wooden house.

Bellmere stood in front of the gas stove in the open kitchen, humming a tune while frying steaks in a pan.

“Wow! It smells so good! It’s indeed high-grade beef…”

Nami walked up to Bellemere and murmured softly.

“Yes! I’m bleeding profusely this time. It’s all because you keep saying that you want to taste the taste of high-grade beef…” Bellemel sighed softly.

Nami pouted and said coquettishly:

“What does it matter! I just tasted it once…

We’ve never had that before. ”

“Bellemere, I have packed all the oranges I picked this morning…”

Nuo Qigao opened the door and walked in.

“Well! Go wash your hands quickly and get ready to eat.

Then take a good nap. We will continue to pick oranges in the afternoon and try to finish picking them as soon as possible…”

Bellemere looked at Nami and Nozhigao’s hands and cheeks that were dirty from picking oranges, and she couldn’t help but smiled and warned them.

Two years ago, due to the sudden appearance of Sephiroth, he would buy oranges from the Bellmer Orange Orchard every year, which improved the family’s living standard.

Their family has gone from struggling to have enough food and clothing to being able to maintain normal food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Now, Bellmeier can occasionally meet the willful requests of his two daughters, buying new clothes, new books, or some good ingredients for meals.

Hearing this, Nami and Nokigao smiled and nodded. They obediently walked to the sink, washed their hands, and sat at the dining table waiting for the meal.

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the house. Nami was sitting on the chair.

He quickly ran to the door and opened the door.

“Who are you……?”

After seeing a group of fish-men with unimpressive looks standing outside the door, Nami was immediately frightened and took two steps back.

Seeing this scene, Bellemel, who was cooking in the kitchen, her face instantly darkened when she saw the person coming.

Bellemare quickly rushed out of the kitchen, blocking the two girls behind him.

“Excuse me, why do the Dragon Pirates on the Great Channel come all the way to our Cocoa West Village…?”

“Scared hahaha!

Of course I’m here to rule this place!

One hundred thousand beli for adults and fifty thousand for children. If you and your family of three want to survive, you must hand over two hundred thousand beli!

Starting from today, you will need to pay so much every month from now on, even if you miss one pele…

Now, if you want to survive, hand over the money quickly! ”

“I understand! Please wait…”

Hearing this, Bellemeier suddenly felt a little angry, but since her two daughters were present, for the sake of their safety, she did not choose to resist. Instead, she took her two daughters and turned around and walked to the cabinet where she kept her money. Start taking money out.

Since Sephiroth has been buying oranges from her in the past two years, she has a stable sales channel for her oranges, so her family’s life has become much easier. As for the two hundred thousand beli, her total savings should be barely enough. Can get it together.

“Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, one hundred and ninety-two thousand Baileys…”

Bellemere rummaged in the drawer for a while, but she finally found 192,000 beli, which was still 8,000 beri short of the dragon’s request.

“Scared hahaha!

You’ve already counted it twice. It seems like you don’t have enough money, right?

In this case, let me make you a suggestion. Which one of these two brats do you want to keep? ”

How about I kill the one you don’t want? “The evil dragon said in a teasing tone.

As soon as these words came out, Nami and Nokigao trembled with fear, while Bellemeier glared at the evil dragon…
