Struggle to build a country in the world of pirates

At dawn the next day, Lei Luo and his party set off for the Beast Island [Luskaina]. This island is very large, with tall trees and vegetation, and there are several volcanoes in the distance.

Constance used his knowledge and color haki to explore the island. Since eating the Thunder Fruit, Constance's knowledge and color haki can cover a radius of 20 kilometers, which is the largest among all people.

Constance said: "There are indeed many ferocious beasts on this island, but they are not our opponents. It is suitable for some school officers or lieutenant generals and below for combat training."

"But their size will be very troublesome, and our ships can no longer accommodate them."

Lei Luo: "How about catching a few suitable cubs, which are easy to transport and cultivate."

Morgan: "Okay, then I and I will go to the island to search, and the others can stay on the boat. After all, it is still very dangerous here."

Dan: "Your Highness, I also want to visit the island."

"Okay, Dora, you are responsible for protecting Mr. Dan."

"I should also go to the island and have a look," Reilly said.

"Morgan, Dora, Ford, Constance, Reilly, Dan, you go and explore the island!"

After several people landed on the island, they separated. Except for "Dan", they all had a domineering appearance. Constance was the most domineering. They quickly locked onto a giant lion cub. Although it was a cub, its physique was also fast. A grown lion. The big lion is naturally even bigger, more than ten meters tall, and its head is as big as a house.

Constance looked at it and said, "I'm going to take away your cubs. Don't worry, I will feed them well and take good care of them."

The lion was not obedient. He opened his mouth and roared, and slapped Constance. Constance did not dodge. He pointed his finger and a white lightning appeared, hitting the sole of the lion's foot. The lion fell to the ground in pain, with its limbs and body still attached. The faint thunder light was paralyzed. Although it was done, the size of the two lion cubs was still not suitable for handling, so Ford had to be called in for help.

Morgan found a blue gorilla's nest, which contained three cubs. Morgan also communicated with the gorilla parents and said that he only took two away. Then the two gorillas began to attack Morgan crazily, and Morgan began Transformed into a titan ape, twice the size of a gorilla, Morgan did not kill him, flicked one head with one hand, and two gorillas had big bumps on their heads. Then he changed to his normal form and picked up two gorillas. The other party did not stop the little gorilla.

Dan discovered that there was a huge radish-like tree in the Beast Island. Around the tree, the beasts did not dare to come near. Maybe it was the smell emitted by the tree that the beasts didn't like, so they dug up some branches and leaves and took them with them. Take some branches of large plants, and some fruit seeds.

When it was getting dark, several people came back one after another and packed many animal cubs in cages, including lions, tigers, elephants, deer, bears, orangutans, etc. Everyone spent the night on Beast Island and then set off the next day.

Lei Luo asked Lei Li if we could sail directly and quickly back to the East China Sea if we sailed in the windless zone. Lei Li said that we could cross the windless zone and return to the East China Sea quickly, but the direction was difficult to grasp.

Lei Luo decided to give it a try. If it works, then he will find a shortcut channel. The windless zone will no longer be an obstacle. In addition, there are sufficient supplies on the ship, the speed is fast enough, and the direction is right. He will soon be able to pass through the windless channel. Wind-borne.

In the windless zone, the normal pointer gradually recovered, and the direction was determined and started to sail quickly. In 2 days, he passed the windless zone and returned to the East China Sea. Once there, Ford was familiar with the East China Sea. He was also the commander-in-chief of the western region. I am still very familiar with my area.

Said: "This is the southwest direction of the East China Sea. At our ship's speed, it will take about 10 days to sail to Hanas."

Lei Luo said: "Just go back, I want to go home soon."

Lei Luo and the others are eager to return home now. They have been out for more than a year. They originally thought it would take half a year to go back, but they didn't expect to be able to go home in less than a month. This made everyone excited.

Lei Luo asked Ford: "Are there any of our military bases around here?"

Ford checked the map and said: "There is a village on one of the islands here. It belongs to the protective atmosphere of Hanas. There is a squadron stationed there."

Lei Luo said: "Okay, then I will stop by to take a look and replenish some supplies."

Lei Luo and his ship quickly approached the island. When they landed on the island, they did not find any soldiers stationed or patrolling. Lei Luo did not go directly to the military station, but quietly came to the town to inquire about the situation.

Arriving at a restaurant with only a few people dining inside, Lei Luo, Constance, Nancy, and Dora found a secluded seat to sit down.

The boss came over with the menu and said, "What do you guys want to eat?"

Dora said: "Take some of your special dishes and some bottles of wine."

"Okay, wait a minute, it's coming." After about ten minutes, the food and wine were all served, "The food is here, you guys can take advantage of it."

Lei Luo said: "Boss, wait a moment, I want to ask you something. Does this place belong to the Hanas Empire?"

"How should I put it? It can be considered as belonging, but not entirely." Lei Luo pretended to be curious and asked: "How can I say this?"

The boss said: "Although the flag of Hanas is planted here and it is protected by Hanas, our villages and towns still have the final say and management by themselves. We need to pay security protection fees to Hanas every year, which is 10,000 beli per person per year. .”

Lei Luo: "I have heard of this. Hanas only maintains maritime security, and anyone who puts up a flag will be protected."

"Indeed, although we are not nationals of Hanas, as Hanas becomes stronger and pays a low fee, we can indeed ensure safety. The soldiers stationed on the island will not harm the residents of the island. After a few years, Peaceful days.”

"But in the past six months, a different group of officers and soldiers have begun to increase taxes on merchants, and even take them for free."

Lei Luo frowned, with an angry look on his face, and said, "Didn't you report this situation to the superiors?"

"We are far away from the country of Hanas and have no other means of communication, so we can only do this. Besides, who knows whether this kind of thing is really a decision from above. Some merchants refused to pay at the beginning, and then were treated as pirates. The thief has been dealt with and went to dig."

Constance said: "The matter is so serious. It seems that this meal cannot be eaten."

Lei Luo said: "It's okay, let's eat. Let Ford handle the affairs here! After all, it is his territory, and I feel that this is not an exception. We must return to Hanas as soon as possible."
