Pirates: From the Planet to the Starry Sky

Chapter 37 Getting ready to go to sea
"Father, mother, and little sister."

Back at the castle palace, Richie said with a smile on his face as he looked at his family members who greeted him.

"I'm back, you didn't go out for a short time this trip."

As for Rich's actions, Ruhr generally wouldn't bother.After all, this is his future successor. Sooner or later, the position of king will belong to Richie, and what Richie does now will be his in the future.

From the continuous expansion of Rich's caravan, the shipment of supplies one after another, and the transportation of refugees recruited in batches to Shanlin Island, Ruhr felt the big moves.

"Let's go."

Walking in the corridors of the castle with Richie, Ruhr also said with a smile.

"Your mother knows that you are coming back, and she has already cooked food. Let's go and eat quickly, and we can't make her wait in a hurry."

"Ah."

Richie replied with a smile.

After the meal, the tableware was cleaned by the maids and servants, and the family sat on the sofa.

"Father, it may take some time for me to go to sea this time."

"Going out again." For his son, Ruhr is quite comfortable.

"Where are you going this time?" Ruhr asked.

Rich said. "The main thing is to go shopping around the world. If possible, I also want to go to the great route."

"The Great Route."

Hearing Richie's words, Ruhr frowned for a while, then slowly loosened his brows, and then spoke.

"No problem, we are a member country of the world government. If you encounter danger at sea, you can go to the navy for help. As a prince and future king of a member country of the world government, you also have your own status."

"Okay." Richie nodded with a smile.

"You must be careful when you go out to sea." After Ruhr finished speaking, Rich's mother also reminded him.

"You don't need a home on the sea. There are many vicious pirates there. They don't care if you are a prince or not. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, you must learn to escape. This is not a shameful thing."

"Well, I will."

Listening to his mother's ramblings, Rich didn't feel the slightest bit of boredom, and there was a trace of warmth in his heart.

After his parents told him and said goodbye to his little sister, three days later, Rich was ready to go to sea.

This time out to sea, Rich chose a large sailboat powered by a newly developed kerosene engine.

There are three groups of triple-mounted artillery on one side of the ship, and a hundred artillerymen are specially allocated for this purpose.

In addition, there is a brigade of naval soldiers, a brigade of army soldiers, plus sailors, shipwrights, ship doctors, cooks and so on.

Let the number of personnel on a ship reach the scale of 600 people.For this reason, the entire battleship has specially prepared a transport ship, which is specially used to store supplies.

"Let's go, set sail."

The sails were unfurled, and the two ships left the port, carrying supplies and personnel to the sea outside the Rock Mountain Kingdom.

"Then, where should we choose the first target?" Richie pondered, thinking to himself.

The purpose of going to sea this time, Rich has always been very clear, that is to find a country with a large number of refugees and refugees, and then change these populations into his own population.

According to Rich's understanding, among the countries near the Rock Mountain Kingdom, there is a war between the Kingdom of Laika and the Kingdom of Karu.

This war is still going on, and a large number of refugees appear every day.However, it is relatively close to the Rock Mountain Kingdom, and Rich's caravan is recruited here, so there is no need for Rich to make a move.

Therefore, Richie looked at the rest of the countries on the map.

"Your Highness."

However, due to the slow flow of information in One Piece World, it is relatively difficult to get timely news.

Just when Rich was thinking about how to go to other cities, Hela, who followed Rich to go to sea, stepped forward, holding a newspaper in her hand.

"What's wrong."

Looking away from the map, Rich looked at Hela and asked.

"What's matter."

"We seem to have found the country you were looking for." Hela still raised the newspaper in her hand.

"Oh."

Somewhat unexpectedly, Rich took the newspaper and read it carefully.On a board of the newspaper, Rich saw the news that Hela said.

"West Sea, the Kingdom of Skrull and the Kingdom of Black Iron are at war."

"very good."

Looking at this title, Richie took a closer look at the big content.Then he compared the map, and then he nodded and said.

"Then our target is these two kingdoms, command the fleet to sail to the West Sea."

"Yes."

"Sail to the West Sea."

Following Rich's order, the flagship and the transport ship began to turn around and sail in the direction of the Upside Down Mountain.

The Pirate World, or the planet where the Pirate World is located, the Red Earth Continent and the Great Airway are like crosses, dividing the entire sea into four.

These four sea areas are the four seas, and between the four seas, there is an upside-down mountain.

That is the mountain peak in the red earth continent, where the sea water will flow from the four seas at a certain time, and the water flows over the mountain peak into the great sea route.

And sometimes, from the currents of the Great Way back to the seas.

Merchants from all over the world, pirates who want to go to the great route, and navies that have not yet developed the technology to sail in the windless zone all need to sail here.

However, due to the long sea route, it will take a long time for Rich to reach the target.

"Your Highness, I found an island in front of me. It seems to be an uninhabited island."

On this day, on the watchtower at the top of the mast, a soldier spoke with a microphone.

"Okay, I see." Rich's voice came from the microphone.

In the room of the battleship, Rich sat on the table and said casually.

"It's been ten days since I've been away. The supplies on the ship are all depleted. It's time to replenish them now."

With that said, Richie made a call about the captain's room.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"I found an island ahead, let the fleet dock and resupply before setting off."

"Yes, Your Highness."

On the sea, a huge battleship, a smaller transport ship, and a fleet of seven ordinary and large sailing ships headed towards an island ahead.

In the past ten days, the fleet has not been smooth sailing. Although the battleship is powerful, there are still many pirates attacking.

But in this area of ​​the South China Sea, no big pirate can deal with a warship with modern artillery, even if this warship is only a semi-finished product.

And with Rich, not only sank some pirate ships, but also obtained a batch of pirate captives and treasures. These warships are also spoils of war.

And because the number of captive pirates captured exceeded a thousand, Richie had to call an airship to transport the thousand captive pirates and send them to Sky Island to become a labor force.
