The Pirate of the Void Throne

an island,

Gradually an outline emerged on the distant sea.

Looking from a distance, countless neon lights are reflected on every street. People are coming and going, and even from a long distance, you can smell the rich aroma coming from far away.

It is the smell of a woman's perfume mixed with fine wine and food, which is enough to make many people intoxicated.

The lights are colorful,

A series of beautiful figures wearing light gauze clothes,

Successful people in suits and ties, and all kinds of pirates coming and going.

It was filled with laughter and laughter, like a beautiful paradise on earth.

The name of the Carnival City, Saint-Pruit, is a bit like the red light district.

"Here we are, unexpectedly prosperous..."

Kosha looked at the scene in front of him and whispered to himself.

If you hadn't already had a certain understanding in your mind, it would be difficult to imagine that an underground black market would be established in a place like this.

But this is often the case.

The brighter the appearance, the easier it is to hide the unknown darkness.

For example, the Shampoo Islands and the spotless Kingdom of Goa, known as "the most beautiful country in the East China Sea".

talking room,

Kosha controlled the sailboat under his feet and sailed into the harbor of the dock.

"Huh? This port..."

Nat looked around in astonishment. Even as nervous as he was, he felt that the scene he saw was somewhat inappropriate.

There are countless ships docked in the port.

There are pirate ships flying the skull and crossbones flag, and there are also merchant ships carrying cargo.

In addition, you can even see one or two naval warships branded with the seagull flag.

It is somewhat ironic that people who are in hostile forces can coexist peacefully.

"No wonder."

"Although the underground black market is not allowed by the world government, some businesses here are completely legal, and there will always be people involved."

Fan Oka's eyes were calm and he didn't care about what was happening in front of him.

Even though he was born in the relatively peaceful East China Sea, he has seen and experienced a lot of darkness.

There are naturally certain reasons why the underground black market exists and even endures for a long time.

First of all, pirates on the Grand Line are flooding everywhere like locusts, and the navy has no time to control them.

After the pirates burned, killed and looted on the sea, some of the treasures, devil fruits, and various strange things they obtained always needed to be traded.

The underground black market can provide these pirates with a good channel to sell stolen goods.

It is naturally much better for pirates to gather together than to run around everywhere, and it can reduce the harassment of ordinary people to a certain extent.

Another thing is that behind the underground black market there are so-called big shots as backers.

These big shots have some relationship with the Navy Headquarters or the World Government. They can easily maintain the stability of the underground black market by giving up a certain amount of profits gained from the underground black market, thereby achieving a win-win situation.

Even the world government is conducting secret transactions with the underground black market, and the simplest among them is the slave trade.

Due to some of the Celestial Dragons' hobbies of captivity and training, countless slaves died every year due to excessive violence.

The World Government personnel under his command naturally need to find ways to satisfy their master's requirements.

How to satisfy?

As representatives of justice, government officials can't personally arrest people in participating countries, right?

How do people around the world view and trust this?

You have to have face after all.

Therefore, the existence of the underground black market provides great convenience.

Catching slaves is the job of dirty pirates. Their world government personnel are only responsible for rescuing slaves and sending them to the most noble people in the world to experience life.

therefore,

The underground black market is legal for many reasons.

It is a good place for business for pirates and the world government.

However, these world governments will not admit it to the outside world.

"How does it feel?"

Kosha suddenly turned to Robin and asked.

"It's a common thing, nothing serious."

Robin's expression didn't change at all.

She has been exposed to the underground world for a long time, so she is not surprised that pirates and navy can coexist.

"That's good, let's log in..."

Kosha nodded, and after the ship docked, he stepped ashore first.

This pirate world is far from as beautiful as it appears after the anime beautifies it.

There are so many dirty things.

If he feels uncomfortable, Kosa will ask Robin to stay on the ship, because he may encounter an even more unsightly scene later.

On the streets of Carnival City.

The Koshas appeared quietly, not attracting any attention in the densely populated and crowded streets.

Passing by the entrance of the tavern, you can occasionally see navy men in blue and white military uniforms and ferocious-looking pirates drinking in a tavern and discussing the topics of "slaves" and "xx".

"What are they doing?

Nat scratched his head in confusion.

It feels weird. When did the navy and pirates coexist so peacefully...

"It's normal. It's just convenient for obscure business conversations."

Fan Oka glanced at him and said.

This is a black market, basically full of pirates, and some government officials who are in urgent need of slaves are completely "negotiating" how to rescue slaves from pirates.

"That's right."

Kosha smiled:

"Who would be a serious person in a place like this?"

"The people who come here are all crooked people, that's why..."

As he spoke, Kosha suddenly stopped talking.

slightly embarrassing.

He accidentally got himself involved. Isn't this a disguised way of saying that he is not serious?

Kousha silently reflected in his heart.

Hearing Kosa's words, Robin said with a surprised expression:

"Aren't we here in exchange for gold? Why have we become so immoral?"

"Could it be that... Kosha, you have another purpose for coming here?"

Her eyes fell on Kosha with scrutiny.

"Do not misunderstand."

Kosha shrugged his shoulders casually and smiled nonchalantly:

"We are all serious people, we are not interested in slaves and sex."

"If you don't believe it, look at Van Oka. His mood has never fluctuated."

Kosha pointed at Van Oka.

But at this time,

A burst of fragrant wind suddenly rushed into the nostrils.

The pungent smell of perfume hit him, and a figure with heavy makeup walked over without knowing when.

It was a young singer with exquisite makeup on her face and wearing a cool kimono.

"Is this your first time here, gentlemen?"

"Do you need me to take care of you?"

The singer twisted her slender waist, first looked at the four Koshas, ​​and then leaned towards Van Oka.

The people in this kind of place can tell who the rich customers are at just a glance.

Although Kosha is young and handsome, there is a very beautiful and sexy woman standing next to him, so he obviously has no needs.

Although Nat is also good-looking, he looks around like a monkey, looking like he has never seen the world, and he probably doesn't have much money.

Only powerful people like Van Oka are wealthy guests.

"Sir, you are really strong..."

The singer smiled coquettishly, stretched out her white hands, and gently squeezed Fan Oka's brick-like chest muscles.

Be nice!

How can ordinary people endure this kind of teasing?

Well, I guess Van Oka can’t stand it either.

Kosha's eyelids jumped at the sight.

Don't be afraid that Van Oka will kill you with one shot.
