The Revolutionary Era in One Piece
Chapter 94 Journey to the West Sea 3
With the guidance of the Revolutionary Army fleet, the old captain of the merchant ship decided to take a risk. He decided to abandon the safe route announced by the World Government and instead take the Revolutionary Party's internal route.
When changing direction just now, the old captain was still a little nervous. After all, the merchant ship had left the waters managed by the member states of the World Government. In these places that were not noticed by the World Government, he was really afraid of being suddenly attacked by pirates.
Fortunately, they had not encountered any pirates after sailing for a while, which made the people on the merchant ship feel relieved. And next, they will arrive at the first stop.
At this time, the old captain's heart had gradually calmed down. As Raven tried his best to speak well of the revolutionaries, he seemed to have a sense of trust in the revolutionaries. And the situation of the merchant ship sailing along the way seemed to tell him that this trust was correct.
When entering the port, the merchant ship was lucky enough not to encounter any pirates. Instead, it encountered several other merchant ships, which made everyone on the merchant ship completely let down their guard.
It seems that this route is indeed reliable, otherwise why would they encounter so many merchant ships? You know, the port they are about to enter belongs to a non-member country of the World Government, and on the map released by the World Government, it is marked as a lawless place with an extremely high risk level.
In short, with trust and curiosity, the merchant ship slowly sailed into the port. After everyone on the ship was ready, they also prepared to disembark and rest. The old captain in charge of negotiations also brought his full wallet to pay the tax.
The port on the other side also responded, and lights began to light up on the opposite land, as if to guide them. When the captain led everyone off the ship and approached, there was a simple toll booth.
The captain also reacted and quickly stepped forward to learn about the tax rules from the staff. The other crew members who followed him off the ship also moved freely, wanting to take care of their personal affairs on land.
Raven also wanted to take a good look around here, but she found that the old captain was still at the toll booth, so she was curious and waited quietly. After waiting for a while, everyone on the other merchant ships got off, but the old captain still didn't move.
It was not until the captains of the other merchant ships had finished their work that Raven could not help but step forward and ask the old captain, "Captain, why are you still staying here? It will be very late if you stay any longer."
The captain then realized that Raven was beside him. He was surprised and replied, "I am waiting for the local gang. For the safety of the merchant ship, I will not leave until they arrive."
Raven was silent when she heard this. She knew that it was because of the last incident that made the old captain so cautious.
However, the situation this time was different. The rulers here were the Revolutionary Party, so Raven advised, "No need to wait any longer. It's already so late. I don't think those people will come."
The captain still stubbornly held on to his own opinion. "This kind of thing cannot be taken lightly. No one knows when those people will come. Miss Raven, you should go back first. I will stay here alone."
At this moment, Raven wanted to shout in the captain's ear, "Don't wait any longer. You won't be able to wait any longer because there are no local gangs in the base."
But how should she explain it? Should she say that the World Government's governance ability is far inferior to that of the Revolutionary Party? At least, when she was in the base in the South China Sea, she had never seen a gangster, a gangster, or a pirate.
Just as Raven was thinking about how to explain and make things clear to the old man opposite, the staff at the toll booth seemed to realize that someone here needed help, and took the initiative to step forward and ask the two of them.
Raven was so happy to hear this that she was about to tell the old captain about his doubts. But at this moment, the old captain made a secret gesture to her, which meant "Don't say anything, leave it to him".
Seeing what the old man meant, Raven did not act rashly, and the old man stepped forward to negotiate with satisfaction.
Looking at the staff in front of him, the old captain felt that waiting was not a good idea. He decided to learn more about the local situation from the local official in charge of collecting taxes, at least to avoid any taboos.
He approached the staff, blocked other people's view with his body, and then asked the staff quietly.
In Raven's vision, in response to the old captain's question, the staff just smiled and shook their heads.
But the captain still seemed unwilling to give up. He took out a few Baileys from his wallet and forced them to the staff.
This made the staff member's smile disappear. He firmly rejected the old captain's bribe, as if he was explaining righteously. Raven couldn't hold back his curiosity at this time, and took the initiative to approach the two.
"Uncle, please take the money back. This is against our organizational discipline. I will definitely not accept it." said the staff member.
"Sir, I understand what you said. But don't worry, there are only you, me and my crew here. Sir, you can take the money, there will be no problem. God knows, the earth knows, you know and I know.
Besides, if you don’t accept the money, I will feel uneasy. Only if you accept the money, it will be the greatest honor for us, and I will be proud of it. "The old captain seemed not to hear and continued to hand over the bill.
However, things seemed to have gone too far. The staff snatched the ticket forcefully and stuffed it back into the old captain's clothes.
His actions seemed to scare the old captain. Seeing this, Raven also hurried forward to support the old captain who was a little terrified.
At this time, the staff member also looked serious, stood up straight, and explained loudly, "Please don't give me money anymore. This is related to the discipline of our revolutionary party. You are insulting me.
In short, no matter how you do it in other places, this is the rule in our base area. We only collect taxes once, and never collect other harsh taxes. This is the discipline of our revolutionary party. "
After saying this, the staff member turned around and went back to the toll booth, leaving Raven and the old captain there.
Raven sighed helplessly in her heart. She remembered the exploitation she had suffered in the member countries of the World Government. It seemed that the old captain's rules were not applicable everywhere.
Then, she helped the somewhat disheveled old village chief to the guesthouse on land and settled him down.
Looking at the settled old captain, Raven only hoped that he could recover soon. The old man might have been frightened, but the upcoming journey would require him to adapt to these changes as soon as possible.
Raven returned to the room and began to think about it. She suddenly realized where her previous discomfort came from.
I had been living in the base in the South China Sea, and suddenly came to the West China Sea, a member state governed by the World Government. This sense of gap seemed to be the source of my previous discomfort.
Thinking that he could take a good stroll around the revolutionary party base in the West Sea, "Maybe I can find the answer tomorrow." Raven was confident.
