Pirate Traveling Merchant

The storm came and went quickly, lasting only half an hour before the sky cleared again.

On the wet street, Nolan said to the two people walking next to him: "The weather on the Grand Line is too unpredictable, so if we want to sail by ourselves, we must ask someone to build a sturdy ship so that we can feel at ease. galloping on the sea."

Feng and Sidon nodded. After the baptism just now, they had seen the tip of the iceberg of the dangers of the Grand Line.If they don't have a good boat, they really don't dare to sail out to sea casually.

"Although there are some good boats available on the market, they are not available here, and I also have some ideas of my own about boats. Let's find a good boatbuilder and customize a boat that belongs only to us. "Nolan continued.

"Where to go?" Sidon asked.

"Well, I checked this information. I heard that there is a good shipbuilding company in the Capital of Seven Waters. We can go there." Nolan took out his little notebook and said proudly.

"Oh, Nolan, you can still do your homework! I didn't expect you to be a person with a plan." Sidon exclaimed in surprise.

"Finally, I've done some business." Feng said sarcastically.

The attitude of the two made Nolan very unhappy, "What?! I have always been prepared. When have I ever done anything unreliable!!!"

Nolan's answer was a pair of very distrustful looks from Feng and Sidon.They didn't speak, they just looked at Nolan quietly, as if to say, give you a look and you will understand.

Nolan suddenly became furious and said, "Okay, you two, just wait for me." Nolan turned around and walked directly to the dock.

Sidon and Feng looked at each other and smiled. Although Nolan sometimes did things very unreliably, he was still pretty good in big things.They were doing this deliberately to tease him.They made a fool of themselves by not telling him in advance that the weather on the Grand Line would change so quickly.

When he came to the place where tickets were sold at the pier, Nolan angrily said to the conductor: "Go to the Capital of Seven Waters, three tickets."

The conductor replied with some embarrassment: "Hello, sir, we do not have a direct passenger ship to the Seven Waters Capital."

"How to get there?"

"You can first take a boat to Bodo Island, where there is a direct passenger ship to the Seven Waters Capital." The conductor said after checking the information.

"Okay, let's go to Bodo Island and get three pictures."

"Okay, three tickets to Bodo Island, you just need to find the Pearl at Pier 2."

After taking the ticket handed over by the conductor, Nolan went straight to Pier 2 without even looking at Sidon and Feng who were following him.

After arriving at the Pearl, Nolan entered the room directly and closed the door tightly.

"Did our joke go too far?" Sidon asked worriedly.

Feng smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." After saying this, he also entered his room and began to rest.

Sidon touched his head and said that he didn't understand the way these two people got along, even if Nolan was so angry.Feng had no intention of comforting him at all.

"Oh, I don't care anymore." Sidon, who was already nervous, immediately put the matter behind him and went to his room to rest.

Not long after, the ship's steam roar sounded, indicating that the ship was about to set sail.

The Pearl is a large passenger ship with gorgeous decoration, mainly white and decorated with golden patterns.

Amidst the sound of steam, the ship slowly sailed out of the dock, and Nolan's journey on the Grand Line officially began.

.............

The three people who were resting in the room did not come out to eat because they had already eaten a lot in the restaurant before boarding the ship.

So they slept in the room until midnight.

Nolan smacked his mouth, sucked back the saliva that came out of his mouth, and then opened his eyes slightly.

"Ok?"

He sat up from the bed in a daze, and saw the dark sea outside through the small round window in the room.

"Ah, the ship has sailed."

Nolan got off the bed after scratching his itch, opened the door and walked out.

Glancing at the closed door of Sidon and Feng next to him, he said, "Humph, I don't even know how to comfort my injured young heart."

Nolan had no intention of waking them up. With nothing to do, he went directly to the deck of the ship. The cool sea breeze blew in, making Nolan shiver, and his sleepiness was blown away a lot.

"Woohoo."

"It's still a little cold."

Nolan walked to the seats placed on the deck, sat down, and enjoyed the quiet night.

Looking at the sky full of stars, he couldn't help but be fascinated.Although such a sky can also be seen in the West China Sea and the East China Sea.But he felt that the starry sky seen on the Grand Route was different from the starry sky seen all over the world.

"It's really beautiful." Nolan sighed.

Taking advantage of the gentle sea breeze, it is a very enjoyable thing to sit on the deck with few people around.

"Little brother, do you also like to watch the night view?"

A male voice suddenly sounded, and Nolan looked at the speaker.

The person who spoke was a man with a mustache. He looked to be in his 50s, but due to proper maintenance, he still looked very energetic.

"Fortunately, I had nothing to do, so I went out to look at the stars," Nolan said.

"Haha, this is rare. Usually young people like you are just drinking and bragging at this time." The mustached man said with a smile.

"Well... I don't know about that." Nolan replied a little embarrassed. He has grown up and has barely lived an ordinary life. The people he interacts with are usually older than him, so He really doesn't understand what the nightlife of ordinary young people is like.

"This is good. Drinking is harmful to your health." The man with a mustache walked over and sat down next to Nolan.

"Hello, my name is Hilton."

"Hello, my name is Nolan." Nolan reached out and shook Hilton's hand.

"Where are you going?" Hilton asked.

"Hatto Island."

"Oh! That's a big island."

"Have you been there?"

"Well, I've been there a few times."

Hearing that Hilton had been to Bodo Island, Nolan was immediately interested.

"What kind of place is that?"

"Well...how should I put it? It is a very prosperous island and can be said to be the commercial center of the surrounding area." Hilton recalled.

"Are you going there to do business?" Nolan asked.

"No, I just went there to have fun."

"That........."

............................

In this way, the two of them started chatting, taking up the topic of Hakata Island.

After Hilton's introduction, Nolan knew something about Bodo Island.To put it simply, Hakata Island is an island that serves as a commercial hub. There are a lot of businessmen there, and both the white and underworld have great influence there.

It can be said to be an island where opportunities and dangers coexist.

As the chat progressed, Nolan also learned that Hilton was a nobleman from a small country. His country was located at the back of the first half of the Grand Route. He personally loved traveling.He started from his country and traveled all the way down to here.

He had no interest in the East China Sea, so he returned to his own country.Next, he plans to travel to the second half of the Grand Line.

Listening to Hilton talk about his travel experience made Nolan very envious and curious.

Nolan also likes to travel, otherwise he would not have chosen to be a travel businessman.

When he heard Nolan say that he was a traveling businessman, Hilton looked at Nolan in surprise and said, "Young traveling businessmen like you are rare."

"Very few?" Nolan asked doubtfully.

"Well, not many. At least the traveling businessmen I met are all elderly. After all, becoming a traveling businessman is not an easy task."

"As a traveling merchant, you must not only have a good business vision, but also be strong enough. With these two foundations, you can ensure that your goods will not fail to be sold, or that the goods will be snatched away by others."

"Both of these two require a certain amount of time to be achieved. If you do it rashly, you will soon fail and disappear into the sea."

Nolan thought about it, and it was true.If you don’t have a good business vision, you will go bankrupt very quickly. Without money, even getting a ride becomes a problem.As for strength, there is no need to say more.There are so many pirates on the sea, and if you don't have any strength, they really won't be able to steal it.

While the two were chatting enthusiastically, a ship was approaching them on the sea more than ten nautical miles behind the Pearl.
