Behind the scenes of One Piece

Change first and then change.

==============

The merchant ship Fortune slowly docked, and soon someone set up a dozen springboards for guests to disembark.

Guli, Gadro, and Jinola stood on the shore and waited for a while, and soon saw Ikarem walking down quickly with seven or eight palace guard men.

The latter still has long curly hair, which is very conspicuous.

Ikarem also discovered Guli and quickened his pace:

"Mr. Gully! So happy to see you!"

The two exchanged warm greetings for a while. When three men with messy hair, wearing silver jackets and carrying black suitcases stepped off the boat, Ikarem's expression suddenly changed.

He leaned over and got close to Gu Li's ear:

"These three men are from the Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce. Look at their collars, they have silver snake heads embroidered on them."

"Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce?" Guli once heard Tums mention the Black Snake Chamber of Commerce, so he frowned and asked: "Black Snake Chamber of Commerce, Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce, is there anything special about these chambers of commerce?"

Ikarem shook his head: "The Black Snake Chamber of Commerce is just doing ordinary trade, but the Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce is different. They are notorious human traffickers!"

When he said these words, his face was full of hatred.

Alabasta has suffered a serious population loss due to war and drought in the past two years, but where the population ended up being lost has always been a mystery.

As the captain of the palace guard, Ikarem later arranged for people to investigate this time, and finally discovered that these people had been defrauded by a chamber of commerce in the name of recruiting workers, and were eventually used as slaves and sold all over the world.

The compatriots were deceived and trafficked, and it was no wonder that Ikarem was heartbroken.

When Guli heard the word "human trafficker", his face darkened.

In the highly martial world of pirates and the chaotic government management, he accepted all kinds of criminal behavior to a certain extent, but human trafficking was something he couldn't tolerate.

According to Ikarem, there were more than ten people from the Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce who boarded the "Fu Fu" merchant ship this time, and they were walking around on the ship along the way. They were obviously eyeing the ship.

And since they came to Magic Valley Town, it probably means that someone in this town is colluding with them and doing human trafficking business.

I just don’t know if the mastermind is Toomes, old Charlie, or Claude?

Guli decided to figure this issue out. Seeing the three people gradually walking away, he turned around and gave a few instructions to Gadlo and Jinora, asking them to entertain Ikarem, while he secretly followed them.

The three people from the Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce walked for a while and came to the door of a tavern. Through the window, they seemed to see an acquaintance inside, so they opened the door and walked in.

Guli followed into the tavern.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and there were not many people in the tavern. Only a strong man wearing a turban was drinking alone. In addition to the food and wine, there was also a five-foot-long broad-backed sword on his table.

The three people from the Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce sat down directly opposite the strong man and said hello:

"Golden Sword Billy, are you responsible for what happened this time?"

The strong man with a turban was none other than Golden Sword Billy. He heard this and nodded: "Sir, I'm not free these days. It's enough for me to entertain you."

The leader of the Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce asked seriously: "How many people do you have? We want to rob a big ship this time, and we need at least fifty sailors."

"Fifty people? It's a bit difficult to get so many people out at once. I have to think of a way. Let's find a hotel to stay in first. I'll let you know when I find someone."

The leader of the Chamber of Commerce nodded and emphasized: "To be honest, when we come, the people on the 'Fu Fu' merchant ship, as well as the ship itself, belong to you.

But it must be done quickly. The ship will only be docked at the dock for half a day and will leave in the evening. "

Golden Knife Billy stood up with a relaxed expression on his face: "No problem, I will give you an answer before sunset today!"

After saying that, he picked up the knife on the table and tied it on his back, and quickly left the tavern.

The remaining three people from the Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce began to order food and drink.

Guli left his clone sitting next to him, while his real body turned into a little mouse, sneaked out of the tavern, and followed the pirate named Golden Knife Billy.

Gu Li was very surprised when he saw Golden Knife Billy turning around and around, and finally arrived at the gate of the Iris Hotel.

He had expected Toomes to be the one to do such a thing.

But then he thought about it, and Old Charlie made sense. He was so active in the underground world, and he must have a lot of side businesses. Simply collecting protection fees from stores should not be enough to support his business.

Billy the Golden Knife went straight to Old Charlie's backyard, then found the third door in the middle of a row of low houses next to the backyard, and knocked hard.

After a while, a wrinkled old woman opened the door and welcomed him in.

Guli knew that this was the secret room Jinola was talking about, so he followed him in without hesitation.

After passing two flights of stairs, Guli followed Billy to a row of cells.

Yes, a row of cells.

The entire underground secret room is like a prison cell.

Gu Li took a rough look and saw that there were nearly thirty rooms separated by wooden fences in the row in front of him. There were people in ragged clothes in almost every room, including many women and children.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Gu Li immediately realized that he had misjudged old Charlie, and this person must be eliminated first.

Golden Sword Billy stood in the corridor of this cell with his hands tied.

After waiting for a while, someone knocked on the door again, and soon after, old Charlie came down tremblingly.

Golden Sword Billy saw the opponent's limp right arm hanging down at a glance, and was shocked: "Mr. Charlie, who is so bold?"

Old Charlie glared at him: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. What do you want to see me for this time?"

Golden Sword Billy said honestly: "The people from the Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce are here. They want to attack a merchant ship. We need to take action. We need to dispatch about fifty people."

"So many fifty people? How big of a ship is this..." Old Charlie frowned: "Do they want to attack the 'Fortune' that arrived here today?"

Golden Knife Billy nodded.

Old Charlie did not make an immediate decision, but walked back and forth in the corridor five or six times before saying: "Then it's the same old rules, Latums and the others will do it together. After the job is done, the money from the sale will be ours, and the ship and goods will be ours." We want [-]% of the price, and the rest belongs to them.”

Golden Knife Billy agreed and was about to leave, but Old Charlie quickly stopped him:

"These people in our prison are of no use anymore. It costs a lot of money to keep them every day. Ask the people at the Silver Snake Chamber of Commerce and sell them to them cheaply."

"Okay." Golden Knife Billy agreed, and then asked: "How many people in our prison are there to sell?"

"There are 38 people in total. Ten of them are pirates with bounties, and the bounties are all less than 28 beli. The other [-] people are women and children. They are all the people who intercepted the noble merchant ship last time. They are all delicate and fleshy. The tender ones should fetch a good price.”
