One Piece: My Spirit

After that, Shire found a human trafficker from the Creek Pirates. Unfortunately, these people seemed unwilling to compromise and even clamored as before. So Shire repeated the previous operation two or three times, and finally a cadre who seemed to be in this stronghold was completely frightened by Shire's methods.

And Nami, who was behind Charles, just watched the scene silently with a complicated expression, but she didn't say much, because she also knew that being kind to the enemy would not only kill her own.
And Nami also knows that this group of scumbags is not the first time to engage in human trafficking. From the rescued children just now, at least two batches of children have been taken to other places!
Soon this matter was probably fully understood. The things in this warehouse were indeed smuggled arms, weapons, and medical drugs purchased by the Creek Pirates from the underground black market, and the purpose was naturally to enhance the combat power of the pirates. And prepare for the great channel!

The Creek Pirates have been preparing to enter the great waterway since the previous year, the most important of which is to hoard a large amount of "necessities" such as arms, medical drugs, etc.!
But the cost of these items is not cheap. Ciel learned from this person that the items in this warehouse cost at least [-] million Berries!
Prior to this, the Creek Pirates had completed such underground smuggling transactions three times. Although the transaction volume and amount were not as large as this one, 3 to 4 million Berries were still needed for one trip!

"The Creek Pirates actually have so much money?!" Nami roughly estimated that the other party would have spent at least 2 million Berries in these few smuggling transactions!
And without counting other wealth, Nami's heart was so hot that her eyes almost turned into the shape of Berry.

But Xia Er, who was next to Nami, looked at the child in the warehouse, and said meaningfully: "How did you get so much money?"

Nami was stunned for a while after hearing what Xia Er said, then looked at the child over there in a daze: "Could it be."

"You should also know that the overall economy of Donghai is not very rich, and most people can only say that they have enough food and clothing."

Charles has been in this world for so many years, not to mention how the economy of the whole world is. For Donghai alone, Charles already knows a lot about it. Many people can only live on food and clothing.
The people at the bottom are backward and poor and can't eat enough, while the high-level nobles are singing and singing every night and spending money. This is the gap between the rich and the poor in this world!It is still the disparity between the rich and the poor caused by the solidification of the extremely stable class!

It is needless to say where the Creek Pirates got such a large amount of funds from.

Nami clenched her fists and couldn't help cursing 'scum'!
Nami is more sensitive to money than Shire. Aaron and those nasty murlocs each collect 10 Berries of life money from the village where Nami lives every month. This number is not determined casually. This number is exactly about 9% of the limit money that normal adults can earn in a month, which happens to be a red line!
Therefore, all the villages under the rule of the Dragon Pirates over the years have been very difficult!Many people do not have enough to eat every day, and can only live on one meal every two days. Nami has truly experienced the miserable life of being oppressed by ordinary people!
Back then, Bermel was barely able to pay enough protection fees, but because of the 20 Berries each of Nami and Nuo Qigao, the [-] Berries made Bermer, who was already burdened, helpless, and was finally killed by the murloc Aaron!
It is conceivable that 20 Berry is already an impossible task for an adult. This is enough to show that while the economy is backward, it can also reflect the huge gap between the rich and the poor. The Cocosia Village is a small microcosm of the East China Sea economy, and it is a microcosm of the world!

Taking Nami’s Cocosia Village as an example, there are about 250 people, which is 2500 million Berry a month!A village is almost 3 million Berries a year!And not to mention the 20+ villages under his rule!

The Dragon Pirates alone can make such a fortune, and the Creek Pirates, known as the overlord of the East China Sea, are even worse!

Thinking that the Creek Pirates actually used these children as goods to make money, Nami couldn't help punching the cadre of the Creek Pirates!

The Creek Pirates are similar to the Dragon Pirates, and they also have ruled sea areas and islands to collect protection fees, not to mention the pirates' routine plundering, burning, killing, and looting!

And the human trading here is only part of it. There are also a lot of profits from smuggling goods, and collusion with high-level nobles in certain countries to gain profits, control merchant shipping routes, and so on.

Nami was astonished to hear every one of them. The Creek Pirates almost controlled one-third of the underground smuggling channels and gray transactions in the East China Sea.
In today's modern society, the first target of the anti-crime and evil operations is definitely the Creek Pirates!

"What we see now is just the tip of the iceberg."

However, Big Mushroom Town was originally a human trafficking stronghold of one of the Creek Pirates. This batch of weapons and medicine transactions were only used as a temporary transfer point. Normally, they would all be transported away in one to two days. This time, this group of people was also unlucky, and they happened to be caught by Nami, Shire and others.

Now that everything here has been clarified, and after getting the information he wanted, Charles patted the shoulder of the leader of the Creek Pirates and said with a smile:

"Okay. That's a good answer. If your companions were willing to cooperate, you wouldn't have to lose your life in vain. Now you can take your companions and leave."

The cadres of the Creek Pirates on the opposite side didn't seem to expect that Charles would let them go like this. Are they really afraid that they will come back for revenge after they go back?
However, when he finally left, the cadre of the Creek Pirates couldn't help asking which side Shire belonged to.

"Us? We are Bucky Pirates!"

After finishing speaking, Charles himself laughed very happily, and at this time Nami also reacted and clamored: "This is the territory of our Bucky Pirates, this time is a lesson for you, go back if you are sensible!"

After the group of Creek Pirates left, Nami was a little worried about whether the other party would believe it, but Ciel smiled and said:

"Don't forget that Bucky Pirates have been on this island recently."

Nami's eyes lit up before she suddenly realized: "That's why they let them go"

Charles glanced at the Creek Pirates and others who had left, and said without emotion:

"After all, the dead are not as valuable as the living."
