My friends are all pirates

"Tomorrow, we're leaving." Asherid skipped the subject, sat down in front of Xia Li, and continued: "Brother Jinbei can only give us a ride, he is Shichibukai, he can't stay with us all the time, we There will be information about Aaron when we get there."

"Didn't you say he was in the East China Sea?" Xia Li suddenly realized that the distance between herself and her brother was not so "far". She suddenly became a little nervous, and her tail moved unconsciously.

"Yes, we will take advantage of Qibuhai's privilege to go to the East China Sea first. Of course, this needs to be dressed up, and the Nuomi will stay here first. We need to re-equip the ship, and then go to the reverse mountain to re-enter the great waterway." Ah Sherid Looking at her, "Charlie, I want to invite you to be my crew member, would you like to?"

"You want me to join Wan Guo?" Xia Li's eyes widened.

She wanted to go to sea, but she never thought about moving.

"No, we still have to go back to the island first. If you think going to sea is boring, just leave."

"Yeah..." Xia Li suddenly felt in a bad mood, she felt that Al Sherid was underestimating her.

"Whether to go or not depends on my mood." She looked at Al Sherid, "You can try to be nice to me. If I feel comfortable, maybe I will agree."

"Then it's a deal." Asherid raised his glass, "This one is a toast to your first voyage."

The two cups touched lightly in the air, making a crisp sound.

The two looked at each other, raised their heads, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Chapter 97 The Ship Enters the Eastern Sea

Alsherid has been lusting after Xia Li since he first came to Murloc Island.

This fortune teller claims to be 100% accurate. Although it is often vague, this talent is still at the strategic level.

The roles on an armed ship, leaving aside the sailors who operate the ship, the full-time combatants who work with others, and the indispensable technical positions, are some talents with special functions.

Owning a ship of your own is not something that happens overnight, and the same goes for the crew. Sailors can barely be recruited directly. Talents for important positions must be found in advance.

It’s not in vain that Ashred was crazy about making good fortune in Murloc Island, otherwise, with Xia Li’s personality, it would be unreasonable. The next day, Ah Sherid and Xia Li met at the port and took Jinbei’s car together. Boat.

The trip of the Sun Pirates is full of face, and a large number of Neptune's troops lead it.

After the film was coated, Jinbei gave an order, and the crew of the Sun Pirates lifted the anchor and set sail. Under the drag of the sea beast, the legendary ship of the Murloc Island society slowly sank into the water.

This ship fully adheres to the popular style of "I must do something on the bow of the ship" in the world of One Piece. The entire bow is a huge fish head, which can easily remind Asherid of the chopped peppers he often ate in Blue Star. fish head.

When it left the fishman island and started to move forward in the sea, it really looked like a fish swimming.

The brilliance of the Fishman Island couldn't reach too far, and when the ship left the seabed area, darkness fell again.

The soldiers of Neptune's army accompanied the ship, and they sent the ship to the shallow sea area before leaving.

It was an easy voyage, until Asherid was once again bathed in the real sunshine, without any moths. Although the giant race is delicious in the eyes of many organizations, the Fishman Island is actually similar.

With the way Charlotte Katakurito looks at the members of the Sun Pirates, if there is a woman here, she can be regarded as a hooligan.

Unlike Asherid, he can look at Xia Li openly, and he is not considered a hooligan.

When the Sun Pirates' ship came out of the water, everyone on board could see the outline of the Chambord Islands in the distance.

Everyone didn't discard the bubble film immediately, and they continued to sail for a certain distance in the state of coating, until the bubble film broke by itself because it exceeded the maximum influence range of the mangrove.

Then they headed towards the Red Earth Continent again. From this point of view, they seemed to be coming from the direction of the great waterway.

Before going to the East China Sea, they have to conduct a round of replenishment.

Although the members of the Sun Pirates are either murlocs or mermaids, relying on their unique racial talents, they have better sea action capabilities, and the jobs that are always full of high risks for human sailors will be greatly reduced for them, but The living environment is actually the same as that of human beings, and the consumption of materials is even greater.

Mainly food and fresh water.

Whether it is a murloc or a mermaid, they also need to drink fresh water to maintain their body functions, and the eating habits of murlocs are no different from humans. Although they can breathe in the sea, even in an emergency, it is not impossible to let them drink sea water. But they would never do this under certain conditions.

A bit different from what Asherid thought, although the official passage from the Great Channel to the Four Seas is under the direct control of Marie Gioia, it is not always accessible like the Upside Down Mountain.

Because the channel from the red earth continent to and from the four seas has a mechanism similar to the ebb and flow of the tide, the flow direction of the inlet seawater will change periodically, sometimes from the four seas to the great channel, and sometimes from the great channel to the four seas.

The Sun Pirates were quickly informed - the direction of the sea has not changed.

So the Sun Pirates could only moor at the entrance for the time being. There are hundreds of ships waiting here, usually three or four ships abreast. The forest of floating masts extends for more than a mile. , in order to avoid trouble, Ashred and Charlotte Katakurit hid in the cabin during the day.

Fortunately, Qiwuhai's ships are exempt from inspection, as long as they don't show up, there will be no major problems.

Only during the daytime, Asherid and Charlotte Katakurit had to temporarily hide in the shared cabin at the bow. Here are rows of hammocks crowded together. When the ship just stopped, there was still an unpleasant smell. The smell of bilge water and lice, rats, and cockroaches are everywhere, and if the murlocs hadn't fumigated the place once, it would be really disgusting.

After all, the chopped pepper fish head was designed to satisfy murlocs and mermaids. The ventilation in this place is not bad, unlike human ships, which are dark and poorly ventilated spaces, Alsherid can bear it for the time being.

Moreover, he is a person of normal height, so at night, he can go to the deck for activities, and he can also take a good look at this port city, which symbolizes the power of the world government.

It is not appropriate to describe the city as a port. You can see a section of the ancient city wall directly from the boat stop, which has become a part of the city’s buildings. According to the descriptions of the members of the Sun Pirates, there is a river outside the city wall, and the city’s most The range in the north will extend to the village about three miles north of the river. If you go downstream along the river, there will be a shipyard.

The streets during the daytime are also full of business. There are many ships waiting for the approval of the application and the change of the sea current. Many of them are merchants, so they inject vitality into the business here in disguise. Although the vitality brought about by the growth of trade may make people People can't breathe.

Because on the cobbled streets with neat brick buildings, there are always various sounds echoing, the sounds come from the wheels of merchants’ carriages and street vendors’ carts, the horseshoes of gentlemen’s vehicles, and the cattle and sheep sent to the meat market for slaughter The sound of noise, shops and vendors not only lined up on the street square, but also ran to the traffic arteries, and even caused traffic jams on the only bridge on the river.

The "grand occasion" of that bridge can be seen from the position of Asherid. The tide pouring in from under the bridge is like a waterfall. With the blood and guts of thousands of slaughtered animals, and the dead bodies of cats, dogs, horses, and rats, or anything else that people want to throw away and keep away.

Closer to the sea is where Acherid is, and on the shipyard side, there will be more ships, and there will be warships.

When this hub city was established, no one knows, but it has been firmly in the hands of Mary Joya, and it has become one of the symbols of the world government's unification of the world. Only with Mary Joya's permission, the world and Ships on the great waterway can pass here and there, and Qibuhai is one of the few privileged classes who can pass through directly without inspection.

As for whether there is such a city in the Red Earth Continent, no one in the Sun Pirates knows, anyway, they always go here.

For Xia Li, she found a good opportunity to laugh at Asherid, so during the day, she always twisted the waist that made people want to get started, and introduced the scenery of the city to Asherid, while being very provocative. Say "Let's go, my sister will take you shopping".

It made Ashred want to spank her ass, oh no, it was the tail.

It's so embarrassing!

After going to sea, Xia Li is still a ball lover.

This strategic-level talent began to show his power as soon as he went to sea, so that Charlotte Katakurito could rest in the cabin.

After all, she only needs to put her little broken ball on the deck, and then touch it, where there is danger, it is clear, although it is still a fragment, it is enough.

Touch it every day, and the wind and rain will not stop.

When the ocean current finally started to change, the Sun Pirates became the first to react, not by experience, but just because of Charlie's daily touch of the ball.

Although in principle, ships have to line up for customs clearance, but...

How could Shichibukai line up.

If you want Qiwuhai to line up, there must be a vice admiral in front of him.

When the ship set off again, both Asherid and Charlotte Katakurit breathed a sigh of relief.

Because they were in the cabin, they didn't look at what was going on outside. They could only judge by the shaking of the hull whether the boat had entered a relatively turbulent current.

When the hull calmed down again, Asherid could see people walking around or dragging their tails through the cracks in the transparent deck, and he could always recognize at a glance whether the one dragging its tail was Xia Li. .

Xia Li twisted in front of him every day, so that he was very familiar with the sound of Xia Li twisting her tail, the shadow area and the frequency of the swing.

After an unknown amount of time, Asherid finally heard someone shouting from above.

"Brother Asherid, brother Katakurit, you can come out now."

He was also bent over, but Asherid jumped up faster than Charlotte Katakuri, and he was the first to climb up the open deck along the cabin ladder.

The first thing I saw was a rainbow across the blue water.

"How does it feel to be able to get out of the cabin?" Charlie walked to Al Sherid with a smile. She felt sorry for losing a great hobby, but at least so far, the feeling of going to sea for the first time is quite good.

The five-meter mermaid has never been out in the sea. Tell the girls, where is she going to save her face?

"You look satisfied." Ashred looked at her.

Just wait, you will be happy soon.

Asherid could clearly remember that even though he was fully prepared mentally, the deck work for the first time in his life was still extremely enjoyable.

The weather at this time was too good.

"Xia Li." Jinbe came over, and he nodded at Asherid first, "It's still early, you can go to the cabin to rest in a while, if you have free time, help us with divination, and let us know if there is any situation .”

Charlie: "???"

What does this mean, treat her as a weak fish?

"Brother Jinpei, I'm here to go to sea." She said stubbornly, "Although I promised this guy to accompany him, I'm still on the boat, and I can do what everyone can do."

Come on, what if it breaks?

Jinbe's words reached his throat and he was forced to suppress them.

He now also feels that although Aaron is an idiot, Aaron's sister is really sweet.

It's a pity that he can't compete with his friends.

But Xia Li is so stubborn, he can't discourage her enthusiasm.

Forget it, when it's noon, she will retreat in spite of the difficulties.

Chapter 98 The Pastoral Aristocrats of the East China Sea

At noon, the murloc pirates on the deck began to feel the familiar feeling.

The sun-baked deck seemed to be roasting, and hats didn't help, unless something was fastened to them, or the sea breeze would always blow the hat up and expose the face to the sun.

With the effect of sunlight, salt mist also appeared on the sea surface, and any place exposed to the air was covered with a layer of salt particles. With grains of salt.

Xia Li really wanted to persevere, but when the sticky feeling on her body became heavier and heavier, she couldn't bear it after all, and got off the cabin under everyone's friendly advice.

After all, she kept twisting her tail and chasing the hat but couldn't catch up, which really affected everyone's normal work.

But before she left, she flicked her tail vigorously, flying salt grains all over Asherid, because Asherid not only refused to help her grab the hat, but also laughed at her.

However, because Charlotte Katakurit happened to be standing next to Asherid, he was brought into trouble.

"I'm not kidding, really." Asherid hurriedly said to Charlotte Katakurit, "I'll talk about her later."

Charlotte Katakurito didn't even want to look at him.

The general under Charlotte Lingling was thinking of other things now.

The four seas, to him, are things that exist only in books, where one navigates the oceans, not with magnetic pointers that capture the magnetism of islands, but with compasses, sextants, and sets of nautical charts, better yet. The environment makes the land more capable of creating wealth, and encourages the commercial order of "creating something out of nothing", which is more commonly used than the violent order of "turning nothing into nothing".

Rich in the world, in the world government, is a description of the actual situation rather than a description.

There are also pirates here, and there are many of them, but pirates who think they have a few brushes will want to go upside down to try their luck, so the society of the world is much more stable.

Of course, it may not be so stable now, after all, the revolutionary army has obviously begun to exert its strength in recent years.

But all in all, compared with the great waterway, the four seas are much richer. If the four seas are compared with each other, there is nothing richer and more peaceful than the East China Sea.

Traveling with Asherid, apart from observing the newcomers, taking a good look at the world beyond the great waterway is the main purpose of Charlotte Katakurito.

As for the occasional "flirting" between Ah Sherid and Xia Li, that was beyond his concern.

The ship continued on the waters of the East China Sea, and the first town they arrived at did not look very prosperous, and it was in the shadow of a stone bunker, but it didn't matter, the local officials knew what the Qiwu Sea was, and that was it. enough.

There is no pier in this town that can moor ships. The pirates can only anchor in the sea first, then lower their longboats, paddle all the way to the beach, and then step on the sand baked by the sun, and pass through the crowded shore. Dozens of houses on the side enter the square of the town.

There are two most eye-catching buildings in the town, one is a simple wooden church, and the other is a newly built mansion. When Jinbe brought the crowd here, there were servants standing on the steps at the door, He opened the door and greeted Qiwuhai with a humble attitude.

When everyone entered the mansion, the master here was already asking people to prepare a sumptuous meal.

Trott Carlyle, the owner of this mansion, showed a high degree of enthusiasm for the Qiwuhai, which is rare in the East China Sea.

Most of the East China Sea nobles, including him, are more willing to devote themselves to various forms of conspicuous consumption than their counterparts anywhere. The means and rewards obtained are always in a secondary position in life, and high-profile expenditures are considered Appropriate social manner and due "upbringing".

Although "Where there is profit, there is honor" is also the slogan of the nobles of the East China Sea, but directly participating in any commercial activities will be considered a shameful thing, and Trott is no exception. The Carlyle family has always limited itself to a commander Instead of being a manager, a large number of "decent activities" have been carried out on this basis, including the management of the lord's self-owned land, the exploitation of mining resources, the establishment of the metallurgical industry, the expansion of urban real estate, and even participation in privateer cruises And the establishment of a trading company, if one does not look at the situation of the people in their territory, on the surface, his family seems to be contributing to the country's industrial and commercial undertakings.

The return of this kind of "contribution" is also quite generous. Although Trott was sent to this remote place a long time ago because of the unhappiness between the family and the royal family, but because the family owns a lot of self-employed land, parks and woodlands, such as Family members like him could continue to enjoy a high standard of living without interfering with rural agricultural life and land ownership.

"Master Shichibukai, welcome to my territory." When Trot saw Jinbei and the large group of murloc pirates behind him, his face froze, but he immediately turned into a cordial and very warm welcome. Come over, but when he got very close, he stopped just right, as if he wasn't the one who opened his arms just now, "I sincerely invite you to participate in the dinner party I'm hosting, please don't refuse."

At this time, he seemed to have seen other people, and after a cursory glance at everyone, he added: "Your subordinates, you can enjoy food in another room with other people, I have asked someone to arrange .”

"They are not my subordinates." Jinbe responded flatly, "Your Excellency, do we know each other?"

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the local governor, Trott Carlisle." Trott clearly emphasized his voice when he announced his surname, but to his disappointment, there was no one present What's the reaction.

Forget it, after all, the pirates are bumpkins and a bunch of murlocs. They don't know Carlisle's name, so there's nothing they can do about it.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be so polite, we'll leave as soon as the supplies are finished," Jinbe said.

Trot reacted quickly, but that moment was enough, and Jinbe saw the disgust in the opponent's eyes.

There must be no good thing for a person who hates in his heart and is still a pirate who insists on staying for dinner. Jinping is too lazy to care about it, let alone know.

That is to say, he is Qiwuhai now, and he can't rob the franchise country, otherwise he will be taken advantage of, and he would just rob it before.
