The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

The shipping routes of the West Sea have become busy. You know, not long ago, when the Great Pirate Age came, the shipping routes of the West Sea had become quite depressed.

However, what people did not expect was that within a short period of time, the West Sea regained its prosperity. The pirates that had appeared one after another in the West Sea gradually disappeared within a short period of time.

All of this is inseparable from the efforts of an organization. Yes, it is the Revolutionary Party. When Ruiwen followed the Revolutionary Party team led by Li to Xihai, this is what he saw.

When Raven arrived at the West Sea, she did not follow Li's team, but started to travel alone after finding out the destination. During the journey, Raven, as an outsider, felt the earth-shaking changes in the West Sea.

After crossing the route and reaching the West Sea, Raven wanted to sail alone. Relying on the information she learned when she was in the CP organization, the routes she chose were all safe routes passing through the member countries of the World Government.

At the same time, in order not to arouse suspicion, she volunteered to board a merchant ship that came from other places to the West Sea to do business and became a bodyguard on the ship.

On this merchant ship, Raven had shown his strength and was respected by the captain. After all, as a captain who had been on the sea, he knew better than anyone the value of having a powerful master on board. If Raven had not clearly stated that he just wanted to take a ride, he would have even wanted to hire Raven for a long-term job.

Thus, Raven parted ways with the revolutionary party's ship. He and the merchant ship decided to take the safe route designated by the World Government, while Li's revolutionary party took the internal route opened up by the base.

However, what Raven did not expect was that the so-called safe passage was not safe at all. Every time the merchant ship she was on stopped at a port in a member country of the World Government, a security tax was added.

In addition to the regular security tax, merchant ships are also subject to exploitation within the franchised country. The local gangs and thugs blackmail merchant ships with an extremely arrogant attitude and humiliate the old captain, and the old captain can only pay tribute obediently.

However, all this finally made Raven unable to bear it. The captain was very good to her, perhaps out of respect for his strength, but Raven really regarded the old captain as a friend.

So, without telling the captain, Raven secretly hid his body and intercepted the gangsters after they left with the tribute money. The result was obvious, with Raven's strength, he easily got the money back.

Raven did not tell the captain about this matter immediately. Instead, at night, when Raven felt that the gang would not come again, he told the old captain about it and took out the stolen property.

"Ah, Miss Raven, you have caused me so much trouble." After hearing what Raven had done, the captain was not happy, but felt as if he had lost his parents.

The captain's face turned pale. "Miss Raven, you don't know. There are deep connections here. Although those blackmailers are gangsters, they are actually backed by local officials. Even the navy may have a piece of the pie."

"Don't worry, Captain. I have made preparations. Those people will definitely not know that I robbed them. They have no evidence and can only stare at me. If they dare to do anything, I will definitely protect the merchant ship." Raven comforted and assured.

"Hey, how can they be reasonable? According to the code of conduct of these local tyrants, once an accident happens, they will crack down on all suspicious people or things." The captain explained worriedly again.

At this time, an accident happened. There was a sudden disturbance outside, and the old captain who lived in the port land guesthouse also rushed out of the room in a hurry, and a crew member also ran over.

"Captain, something happened. There was a fire on the boat." The man said quickly.

The captain almost fell down, but he steadied himself and asked, "What's the fire situation? How much damage was done to the ship?"

"The damage is not that serious. The first mate had already controlled the fire before I arrived. But--" The employee hesitated again.

"But what? Tell me quickly." The captain asked hurriedly.

"However, one box of goods has been burned in the fire." The employee finally responded.

Hearing this, the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly turned back into the house, and sat back in his seat.

Raven felt a little guilty now, "I'm sorry, Captain. I caused you so much trouble this time."

"It's okay." The captain refused. "The loss this time is acceptable. After completing the route, the merchant ship will still make a profit."

"But, Captain, I remember that there are only a few boxes of cargo on your ship. Is everything really okay?" Raven asked again.

"The situation at sea changes rapidly, and we in this business cannot avoid losses. The current situation is not bad. At least there is still profit, which is better than losing everything." The captain explained again.

"If you want to blame someone, just blame myself. I was jealous of my friend who is in the same business. He made a lot of money in a trip to the West Sea not long ago. So I gave up the route I was familiar with and came to the West Sea to take risks. I didn't expect to cause the consequences today." The captain continued.

The next day, the gangsters came to the ship again to extort money, and the captain paid them again. Seeing this, Raven was deeply confused.

She recalled the captain's advice. "Behind these gangsters are local forces. In addition to the security fees in public, this hidden protection fee is also indispensable.

Raven, even if you are strong, you can't solve this problem. Maybe you can protect it for a while, but you can't solve it forever. The goods are very fragile. If there is a flaw, the loss suffered by the caravan will be irreparable. "

Not long after, the merchant ship set sail again. But at this time, Raven no longer had the same enthusiasm as before, and he spoke less on the ship.

At the next few stops, Riven did not interfere and left all the socializing to the captain. In this way, the merchant ship passed through several ports of call smoothly.

The merchant ship continued to sail, and at this time, an accident happened. After leaving the last stop and sailing on the sea for a few days, the merchant ship finally encountered the biggest crisis. Skull! The merchant ship actually ran into a pirate ship.

"What's going on? Isn't this the waters of a member country of the World Government? How did we encounter pirates? Where is the navy?" The crew on the ship were restless.

"Full sail, shake them off." Although he knew that Riven was powerful, the cautious captain still wanted to avoid a fight.

After a fierce chase, the merchant ship still trailed the pirate ship. At this time, the pilot sent a message, "If this continues, we will leave the waters of the Allied Nations."

"Don't worry about it, just get rid of the enemy first." The captain ordered decisively.

But at this time, when the ship was about to reach the waters of a non-member country, an accident happened to the pirate ship. They did not chase the merchant ship anymore, but sailed back to the waters of a member country.

"Boom boom boom." Suddenly, cannon fire rang out and several more ships appeared. They rushed directly towards the pirates. The pirate ship that seemed invincible in the eyes of the merchant ship crew was easily defeated by several newly appeared ships.

However, the captain was not in a relaxed mood. "A shark went away, but a sea king came. Who are these people?"

However, Raven was very relaxed, looking at the red flag flying on the ship. "Don't worry, this is someone I know," Raven comforted the captain.
