Fighters in Pirate World

Soon, Luochen and his group slowly docked the three-masted sailboat and lowered the anchor.

Cosette took out [-] million beli silver notes from the treasury and put it into a large satchel, then locked the three special large iron doors of the treasury tightly, and then followed Luochen and his group off the ship.

As for the manatee 'Moo', Luochen and his team put it back into the sea as usual and let it hunt on its own. After nearly a year of nourishment, this huge manatee has grown a bit more and looks even bigger.

Arriving at the pier, the group of 'hospitable' residents surrounded Luochen's group. While leading them to the center of the town, they enthusiastically introduced the customs, customs and various projects of Vilnius town.

Those projects cover almost all aspects of 'clothing, food, housing, transportation, entertainment', etc., from food, drink and entertainment to night baths and massages, and even late-night hotels.

"It's true... showing such enthusiasm is just to promote your own store."

After listening to the introductions of these "enthusiastic people", Cosette, who was pushing Luochen's wheelchair, had an expression of "Sure enough," on her face.

Putting down production and life and making a special trip to the dock to pick up people must be for the greater good.

Only fools would do things where the input-output ratio is seriously uncoordinated or even zero.

"Luochen, what do you think?" Cosette looked down slightly and focused on Luochen, the backbone of the team.

Luochen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, pondered for a moment and said: "The residents of this town are indeed a little strange. They gave up production and business and made a special trip to welcome us 'consumers'. It is estimated that the consumption amount of those projects is indispensable..."

The world is at least economically balanced, and there must be investment if there is to be a return.

For example, the investment of a businessman is the 'buy low' part of buying low and selling high, while the investment of a pirate is his own life, using his life to gain profits on the sea.

Correspondingly, those investments must be for returns. Businessmen will choose to 'buy low' in advance in order to 'sell high', and pirates will invest 'their lives' in advance in order to 'get something for nothing' and live a free and nourishing life.

And these small town residents made a special trip to give up production and operation, choose to greet visitors at the dock, and replace production and operation with services, which is definitely for the greater benefit.

Therefore, the premiums for the consumer items introduced by small town residents are likely to be much higher than those in other areas.

"But it doesn't matter."

Luochen waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "If it's not necessary, we won't stay here for too long. The money we brought out can fully support our expenses these days."

"Indeed." After receiving Luochen's answer, Cosette felt a little more relieved.

These people just want high premiums, and high premiums are high premiums. Anyway, Luochen and his group are not short of money now, and the funds exchanged for Kongdao Gold will not be able to be spent in a few years.

Just as Luochen and his group followed the 'enthusiastic residents' to the center of the town, a group of more than twenty people in uniforms and holding flintlock guns appeared in front of them.

"Go away, you troublemakers! Get out of here! If you don't, you will be fined for obstructing law enforcement!"

Those in uniforms holding flintlock guns pointed their guns at the "enthusiastic residents", and those in the front row smashed the faces of those people with the butts of their guns, driving them back more than ten meters in an extremely brutal manner.

"It's these 'Guards' people again. Even though they impose strict taxes every day, they are still here to steal customers..."

"If they hadn't been able to stop those rampant pirates, we would have had enough..."

Looking at the 'Guards' who were wearing uniforms, holding flintlock guns, and with aggressive expressions, the residents couldn't help but have a trace of disgust on their faces, and whispered about their evil deeds.

"Ha!?" Listening to the people's low-pitched complaints, the captain of the 'Guards' took out his ears, turned his ears and asked: "What are you unscrupulous people talking about? If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will all have to pay a fine. !”

When they heard that the captain of the 'guard' wanted to impose a fine, the people immediately fell silent and silently retreated to get out of the way.

"Hey, outsiders! According to the regulations of Vilnius Town, you have to pay the island landing tax and the guard protection fee! Each person has 25 beli, and you have to pay a total of 175 million beli!"

The captain of the 'guard' came to Luochen's group, took out a crumpled document with an official seal from his pocket, and showed it in front of Luochen's group.

"175 Bailey!? Why don't you go and grab it!?"

When she heard that she had to pay so many Baileys, Nami, who had always loved money, immediately became furious, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.

"175 million Baileys, what is the regulation that charges so much money?" Cosette was also a little confused and didn't understand Vilnius Town's fees.

The faces of the others also turned cold after hearing that they had to pay so many Baileys.

Even Ulki, who was always gentle and always had a smile on his face, was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually solidified.

I originally thought that the entry fee of 1 million ike or 10 beli in Elnilu was outrageous enough, but I didn’t expect that the entry fee here would actually cost 25 beli per person!

Among them, the one who reacted the most violently was Raphael. When he saw these so-called 'guards' beating the people and violently expelling them, his face turned cold and his right hand had already grasped the black knife. The knuckles on Qiu Shui's knife handle turned a little white when he pinched it.

At this time, Luo Chen, who was the backbone of the team, spoke up:

"Haha...you guys can tolerate the entry fee of 175 million beli than Enel...Tell me, what the hell is it that requires you to charge so much money?"

Luo Chen drove the wheelchair with his hands and slowly came to the captain of the 'guard', looking at him calmly.

175 million beli may be a small amount for Luochen and his group who have already taken all the gold from Sky Island, but for the general public and small businessmen, this is not a small amount.

It might take them several years or even more than ten years to save 175 million Baileys. Even Luochen and his group had to work hard at sea to get so much money.

He opened his mouth and said 175 million beli. This kind of tax is obviously unreasonable.

"Qi...just a disabled person..."

The captain of the 'Guards' glanced at the wheelchair under Luo Chen, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He put the document in his hand on Luo Chen's face, pointed to the regulations above and said:

"I don't care whether you have Enero or not. According to the regulations of Vilnius Town, anyone who lands on the island needs to pay an island landing tax, as well as a non-criminal deposit for those who land on the island! 'Guard' service tax and 'Guard' 'Protection money! 25 Baileys per person per month!"

"How's it going? Do you understand?" After saying that, the captain of the 'guard' waved the document in front of Luo Chen's eyes.

"Hey... I thought it was some kind of charge, 'protection money'? Isn't this just protection money? Sorry, we don't need protection, so I refuse."

Luochen smiled, stretched out his hand and shook away the document dangling in front of his eyes.

If things go by the past, Luochen might have made some compromises because of his status as a bounty hunter, paying money to save trouble.

But now Luochen and his group are 'pirates'. If the taxes were reasonable, with Luochen's character, they might just wave it off. But now, facing this kind of robbery-style taxation, how could they tolerate you?
