The Great Swordsman of One Piece

Chapter 123

In fact, Bit didn't expect Brooke, the captain of the Kingdom Guard, to have such fans in his own country.

He has been away from Kilby Kingdom for 25 years.But even so, there are still people who miss him, and some people make the decision to go to sea after hearing about him.

After seeing this scene, Bit admired Brook a little.However, it is normal to think about it the other way around.For a promise, for a thing, he endured loneliness and wandered in the Devil's Triangle for 25 years.

It would be strange if someone who kept his promise and respected his partners had no fans when he was the captain of the Kingdom Guard.

After Scarface left, the hall was silent for a while.It was Bucky who broke the silence.He asked Bit, "How many treasures are there in the sea, Uncle Bit?"

"There are countless treasures in the sea." Bit gave Bucky an affirmative answer.

"There are more or less treasures in the ships sailing on the sea." Bit patiently explained to Bucky.

"But sailing on the sea is not easy. When a ship sinks, the ship will go silent to the bottom of the sea with the crew and treasures on it."

"Then can you take me out to sea together? I want to go to the sea to find treasure!" Bucky looked at Bit with a look of hope.

Shanks also looked at Bit with a look of hope. "Uncle Bit, take him! Bucky will be an excellent companion!"

The others didn't say much.Now it's Bit on board to make the decisions.Naturally they should be quite bit.Regardless of whether Bit decides to bring Bucky or not.

For a moment, everyone in the tavern focused on Bit.The villagers in this village are also very curious about what decision Bit will make.

Bit rubbed his chin thoughtfully.He didn't think for long. "I can decide to take you through this adventure. As for whether you can stay on the ship, it will be decided by the captain after we return to the station."

Bucky beamed with joy when he heard that.As long as Bit agrees, he will use this time to express himself well.He believed that as long as these people spoke for him, he could stay on board.

"We're here to inquire about the whereabouts of the Rumba Pirates." Bit said looking at Bucky after finishing the matter.

"Then you are a citizen of this kingdom, do you know where is suitable to inquire about information?" Bit hoped that Bucky could give them some information.

Bucky tilted his head in thought. "If you want to talk about Brook, I've often heard adults mention him. He is a very enthusiastic captain of the guard."

"But if you want to talk about the current situation of the Rumba Pirates, I don't know much. I have the impression that every time the adults mention the Rumba Pirates, they feel sorry for Brook's arrival."

Bit chuckled twice. "You feel sorry for Brooke, why doesn't Brook feel sorry for you?"

"Whether to stay on the island and live well, or risk your life and go to the sea, everyone has their own choice."

Bucky nodded ignorantly.To be honest, he didn't quite understand what Bit was trying to say.Although he and Shanks are about the same age, they really care about different things.

Shanks can risk his life to chase freedom, and Bucky will not allow others to call him red nose anyway.

So which is more important, freedom or a red nose?Shanks and Bucky would have completely different answers.

"Let's go, let's go to Wangcheng." Bit made the decision to go to Wangcheng after seeing that no more information could be obtained here.

Bucky has already explained the geography of Kirby Kingdom very clearly. Apart from the royal city, there are more than a dozen small villages surrounding the royal city.

Since this village has no information about the Rumba Pirates, then the other dozen or so villages certainly don't either.

Thinking of this, Bit was a little dissatisfied with the nobles of the Kilby Kingdom.No one knows how many villages there are around the kingdom!
So what about taxes?It would be better if it were not taxed by the common people, if it were capricious...

"Then Bucky, let me ask you a question. How do you calculate the tax in your country? Does the country send someone to collect it every year?"

Bucky curled his lips in disdain. "How is it possible? The king collects taxes at the gate of the city. Once you enter the city, you have to pay a tax of [-] beri. If you bring something with you, you will have to pay more!"

"So people in the city don't pay taxes?" Nusi asked after hearing the words.Obviously the people in the city are richer, right?And people in the city don't need to go out of the city.

"I've never lived in the city, how do I know?" Bucky rolled his eyes, but he didn't answer Nuth's question.

"Let's go, let's go to the city and have a look." The swordsman is always vigorous and resolute.Bit immediately planned to go to the city.

"What? Why don't we go back to the boat to get some money?" Van Pica felt that the money they had on them was not enough.

"Is the money we have enough to pay the city tax and a drink?" Bit asked after looking at his partner.

Everyone checked the Bailey they got when they disembarked, silently calculated the possible prices in the city, and nodded.

"Then let's go. Let's go in and find out the news." Bi Yanba went out of the tavern directly.

Everyone followed.Seeing this, Bucky trotted all the way to follow.He ran to the head of the team.As a local, he still has to lead the way for everyone.

At dusk, everyone went under the royal city. "Stop! It's time to close the city gates! If you want to enter the city, come back tomorrow!"

The soldiers guarding the city gate stopped the villagers lining up.Although the soldiers stopped the villagers, the city gate showed no sign of closing.

After the soldiers said to close the city gate, some villagers sighed and turned their heads and walked towards the way they came, while a small group of anxious villagers continued to line up with bitter faces.

"What's going on now, Bucky?" Shanks next to Bucky asked Bucky with his arm.

Bucky shook his head sullenly. "Let's come back tomorrow." While talking, he turned around and was about to go back.

However, Shanks next to him held Bucky and would not let him go. "Hey, Bucky, why are you leaving? Can't you still go in?"

"If you can enter, you can enter. But if you enter the city now, you need to pay more. Two thousand Baileys per person." Bucky said with a sad face.

"The opening and closing of the city gate is managed by the guards of the Kingdom. But before closing the gate every day, these guards will always stop the villagers in advance. If you don't want to stop them, you need to pay double the entry fee."

"So let's go back. There are so many of us, there is no need to pay this wronged money." Bucky said to everyone with a sad face.

Living in such a country since he was a child, Bucky couldn't see any hope.He has no way to pursue anything else, he can only maintain his little bit of dignity by forbidding others to call him red nose.

Bit saw the sadness in Bucky's heart.He stroked Bucky's hair with his hands.Lead the team towards the city gate.

"Come on, Bucky. Let's go to town."
