Me and Nine Tails Clashing with the Pirates

The kingdom of Slok.

Charlotte and the dragon landed in Yuri, the most prosperous coastal city, which is a prosperous city with a population of tens of thousands.

The neat streets are lined with shops on both sides, and the bustling port is home to ships from all over the North Sea. This is the crossroads of two busy shipping routes in the North Sea.

Busy maritime trade has brought prosperity to this city far beyond other cities.

"What? This city belongs to the World Government, not to the Kingdom of Slok?"

Charlotte and Beckman were walking on the street. Charlotte was surprised when she heard Beckman's introduction to the city.

Beckman looked at Charlotte in surprise and said in a low voice: "I thought you would know."

No, I don't know... This is my first time coming to Beihai, Charlotte added in her heart.

"This city has the third largest naval branch in the North Sea, G65. The purpose of the navy's establishment of the G branch is to occupy traffic arteries and strategic locations."

"The so-called Navy Headquarters is just a military force that serves the world government."

"This organization is definitely not just about protecting people from pirates."

Regarding this, Charlotte nodded and agreed deeply.

Having come to the world of One Piece for more than two years, Charlotte was no longer a newbie. However, it was just that such a city that belonged to a country that was a member of the World Government was directly under the World Government, which surprised Charlotte.

“The revenue of the World Government comes from two aspects, one is the economically prosperous cities directly controlled by the World Government, and the other is the annual funds provided by the many franchise countries of the World Government.

In addition to these, I heard that the biggest boss behind the Four Seas and Grand Line trade is also the World Government, and the Navy Headquarters also accounts for a large part of it."

Charlotte knew this. Due to the existence of the windless zone and the red earth continent, the world was divided into six major parts, the four oceans of southeast, northwest and northwest, the new world and paradise.

In the world today, only the world government has absolute certainty that it can travel between the five oceans.

Of course, the overlords of the new world can also do it, but to the overlords, they are pirates, not businessmen.

Don't underestimate these trades. Beihai's specialties only cost one hundred beli in Beihai, but if sold to East China Sea, they may sell for one thousand beli.

It is precisely with this income that we can support the operation of the world government and the huge military power of the Navy Headquarters.

There are hundreds of millions of naval warships, which can be destroyed at any time. Even if dozens of ships are destroyed, it will not hurt.

Charlotte and Beckman chatted and came to the slums in the southwest corner of the city. Compared with the bustling commercial district they just passed, this place was like heaven and earth.

The streets were chaotic, with dilapidated houses on both sides, and most of the people on the road were wearing shabby clothes. They were wary of the brightly dressed Charlotte and Beckman, and showed greed, as if they were vultures staring at carrion and might attack at any time.

A mixture of gases with various smells suddenly penetrated Charlotte's nostrils. He could vaguely distinguish the smell of urine, the musty smell of dampness, the sour smell of sweat, and the stench of rotten sewers.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose and followed Beckman forward.

As the two walked, children playing in ragged clothes quickly passed by them, staring at them with blank, curious, and frightened eyes.

Facing the greedy looks from around him, Beckman exposed the rifle on his waist to warn the surrounding people.

Glancing at Charlotte, Beckman said in surprise: "Are you not surprised at all?"

"What are you surprised about? Are you surprised at what happened to these people?" Charlotte asked, "I have been to Mariejoia. Compared with those slaves, they are already lucky."

"Yeah, I almost forgot about this," Beckman suddenly realized.

Led by Beckman, the two didn't go far and came to a somewhat shabby bar outside.

Even though she was far away from the bar, even through the heavy door, Charlotte could hear cheers and shouts coming from inside. Each sound was louder than the other, as if she was cheering for someone.

Beckman took two quick steps and pushed open the heavy door.

Charlotte followed closely and walked in, almost being overcome by the sultry heat and the smell of alcohol.

There is a ring in the center of the bar, on which two fierce women in bikinis are fighting, punching to the flesh, and pulling each other's hair.

Dozens of people, both men and women, were sitting on the seats surrounding the ring, cheering for the fierce women on the ring.

Charlotte glanced at it and then looked away. After all, he had the most beautiful woman in the world, Hancock, as a maid, and his eyes had long been developed. The beauties in ordinary people's eyes were not beauties in his eyes.

He doesn't look down on someone who only comes to one in a hundred thousand.

Beckman obviously wasn't here for the first time. He walked to the billiard room next to him in a familiar manner. Under the guidance of a waiter, the two people entered it and then entered a side door in the room.

Behind the door is a downward corridor, with steps going down. Charlotte and Beckman walked down the steps.

Deng Deng... Neither of them spoke, only the sound of footsteps echoed on the steps and echoed in the silent and dark corridor.

Walking along the steps to the bottom, there were dim lights hanging on the walls. I continued walking along the corridor for about 20 meters, and after passing a corner, my eyes lit up.

The roar of people came towards him, and Charlotte saw a shopping mall built underground, with shops and vendors who laid a tablecloth on the ground and placed their things.

The underground mall was neither big nor small. There were a lot of people at the moment. Charlotte glanced around and estimated that there were thousands of people, including gorgeously dressed businessmen, fierce pirates, and even uniformed naval officers.

“I didn’t expect there was a navy.”

Charlotte looked at the navy a few more times and was a little surprised.

"You can't believe there are more. You have been on the Grand Line all the time and don't know the situation in the world at all." Beckman spoke in a deep and mellow voice:

"Limited by distance and transportation, the Sihai Branch is nominally the leader of the Navy Headquarters, but in fact it has long been the talking point for the commanders of major bases. Many navies have deals with pirates.

What's more, this is the underground world. There is no position in the underground world trading center. Anyone who takes action here will face the pursuit of the underground world. This is an iron rule."

snort!

Charlotte snorted and raised the corners of her mouth: "Rules are only useful to the weak."

Beckman did not refute, this is a truth since ancient times.

Just talk about Charlotte, even if he destroys this place, who among the kings of the underground world would really dare to chase him?

The purpose of Charlotte and Beckman coming to the underground world was to buy information from "Big News Morgans", one of the kings of the underground world.

Beckman obviously came here a lot, and without even asking for directions, he took Charlotte into a room where information was bought and sold.

The room was not big, and there were several people inside, paying money to buy information.

Charlotte and Beckman waited nearby. After a while, the person in front bought the information and left. Charlotte walked up and was about to leave, but Beckman stopped him with his hand.

Under Charlotte's puzzled gaze, Beckman said calmly: "I'm an acquaintance here, and I often buy some pirate information. They don't know you, and they won't tell you if you tell me."

Beckman is not a pirate now, but a bounty hunter.

"Are you sure?" Charlotte asked with a strange expression.

Beckman ignored him, raised his chin, and walked toward the front desk.

The person in charge of selling at this stronghold is an old man with white beard and hair. He has nasolabial folds and Sichuan lines on his face, and two bags under his eyes that make people feel like they will fall off at any time.
