Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

Unlike the previous situation where he had been wandering at sea for a month without seeing anyone, this was already the third group of pirate ships Rocks had encountered in half a month.

This also gave him a deeper understanding of the pirate-infested situation in this world.

The pirate leaders captured by Rocks were all sent to the nearest naval base. Although not every island had a navy stationed, he was lucky. There happened to be a few islands in the area that had a navy. base.

Looking at the heavy money bag in his hand, Rocks didn't have much of a smile on his face, because most of the people he saw on the road these days had bitter expressions on their faces, and few had happy smiles on their faces.

Only some people living near the naval base were able to put a smile on their faces and still look like they were having a hard time.

In this world, people need to hand over a large amount of money as 'heavenly gold' as tribute to the world's nobility. Countries that cannot pay will be treated as slaves.

And those who cannot hand over the heavenly gold can only go to sea to become pirates and plunder other people's wealth. As a result, those who are robbed cannot hand over the heavenly gold.

In this vicious cycle, the navy captures a large number of pirates every day, but it is still more than the number of people who choose to go to sea to become pirates.

"This world... is really twisted."

The navy prides itself on justice, but the reason for the sudden increase in the number of pirates is the world's nobles who are protected by them.

Moreover, there is no "revolutionary army" now. People are living in dire straits. Many people are willing to sell their consciences in order to fill their bellies.

Slave trading, theft, illegal trading, there are countless cases. In just the time that Locks was on the island, he saw no less than six cases of fighting to the death.

But the navy that rushed to the scene could only take the bodies and bury them, which could not change anything at all.

"With my power, can I really change the world?"

Locks looked down at his hands. Although many things sounded simple, when he actually did it, he realized that the difficulty was not even the slightest bit different from what he imagined.

"I won't give up even if it's not easy! Since I was brought to this world, I must give it a try! Even if I stand on the opposite side of everyone in the future, I will pull the so-called nobles of the world from their high pedestals. Come down and trample it in front of everyone!"

Locks' breath became violent, and he felt that the power in his body was a little out of control, which made him quickly calm down his emotions.He is not yet fully proficient in the Devil Fruit's abilities, especially now that he is in a busy market. If he loses control and accidentally injures innocent people, he will be in trouble.

"Let's go to the tavern first to see if there is any suitable information, and take a rest by the way."

The income from catching pirates has filled Rocks' pocket. It is no exaggeration to say that he is now a rich man worth millions.

I don't know if there are any good ships in the current water capital. If you have the chance, you can go and see if you can commission a stronger ship.

But now it's time to consider recruiting teammates. After all, a big ship cannot be controlled by one person.

……

"Everyone drink with open stomachs, I'm treating you today!"

In the tavern, a tall and round middle-aged man slapped the table and said these words proudly. Many people looked surprised. Some people who were familiar with him couldn't help but ask:

"Fat man, are you getting rich? Didn't you and your brothers cry about poverty some time ago? How did you become so rich after going to sea?"

The middle-aged man who was called 'Fat Man' chuckled, sat back on the chair, and whispered in his friend's ear:

"You still remember the place I talked about, right? I really found it this time when I went to sea! If I can get this business done, I won't have to worry about money at all in the future!"

"Did you really find it?!"

The fat man's companion looked surprised and seemed to have some understanding of what he was talking about.

Then the fat man sighed:

"Well, the biggest problem now is where to find some powerful bodyguards. That place is not easy. If you are not strong enough, you may not survive long."

"So dangerous?"

"Otherwise, would I lie to you with such a thing?"

The conversation at this table was very quiet and not noticeable in the noisy tavern, but one person was an exception, and that was Rocks.

He happened to be sitting behind the fat man, and his perception was sharper than that of ordinary people, so he captured the content of this conversation.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yan turned around and patted the fat man on the shoulder:

"You need bodyguards? I wonder if I can take on this mission?"

The fat man looked at Rocks suspiciously. Although most of his appearance was covered by a cloak, he looked quite strong.

However, where he is going is not something that a simple bodyguard can handle. If he chooses the wrong person, he will most likely be wiped out by the group.

"It looks like you have some strength. What moves do you know?"

"You know how to use a knife, does that count?"

Rocks did not intend to reveal his Devil Fruit ability. The fat man subconsciously glanced at the saber on Rocks' waist. Although it was a little old, it looked like he had taken good care of it. He should be a knife lover, but this cannot be regarded as strength. proof.

Seeing that the fat man was still suspicious, Rocks took out a few more wanted posters from his arms and placed them on the table. The fat man was puzzled, and Rocks took advantage of the situation and said:

"This is the pirate I caught in more than half a month. I am a pirate hunter. Doesn't this prove my strength?"

The fat man looked at the wanted notice on the table. The total number of these pirates exceeded one million. Such a terrifying amount was already a terrifying strength for this small island.

"Swordsman, that should be enough."

Hearing the name Fatty, Rocks wanted to complain. Are people in this world indifferent to swords?Even though he uses swords, he has to call himself a swordsman.

That's right, I'm talking about you, the guy with the big knife and the rowing boat!

It's a pity that Rocks doesn't know who the current 'world's greatest swordsman' is, otherwise he would have to see it in the future.

It is said that in the original drama, Moonglow Moria, one of the Shichibukai, had a samurai zombie named Ryoma under his control. That guy was said to have amazing swordsmanship during his lifetime, but I don’t know if he is still alive now.

"Tsk, I haven't watched One Piece for a long time. I can't remember a lot of things clearly. I don't know if it was finished before I was brought here. If I had known that this would happen, I would have just reviewed the entire plot before talking about it. "

Rocks sighed silently, but the fat man beside him didn't see what he was thinking. He took out an account book from his arms and kept recording something with a pen.

"This journey is not easy, so I can only pay you half of the reward before departure, and I will pay you the other half after I return successfully."

Rocks thought for a while, nodded and approved the plan, because in his opinion, it was understandable. If he failed to meet the other party's requirements, the other party's losses would be considerable. It was a two-way guarantee.

Seeing Rocks agreeing so readily, the fat man's expression softened a lot and he continued:

"I'll tell you what you need to pay attention to this time. It's best to be fully prepared in advance."

The fat man whispered the information about his previous encounter to Rocks. The latter's expression became extremely complicated. The fat man thought Rocks didn't believe him, so he quickly explained:

"I'm not lying to you, that island is really so magical, otherwise I wouldn't bother to go back again."
