Illusionist in Pirates

Chapter 308 Entering the Great Route
At the entrance of the great shipping route, a strange big ship approached.Although it looked like a big boat that could carry hundreds of people, there were only three people on board.

"Here we are, this is the starting point of the entire great voyage, the Whiskey Mountain." Alonso stretched out his fingers, and all the ropes on the ship moved by themselves, adjusting the direction of the sail.

Nicole Robin, who was reading a book, didn't look up, but shook hands with various arms stretched out on the deck.With mutual cooperation, the boat soon headed for Whiskey Hill.

"I'm so tired. Has the weather on the great route always been this weird?" Lao Cai was lying on the deck, panting. Among the three people on board, even Alonso and Nicole Robin, Relying on the ability of the devil fruit to take over most of the work on the ship, and said that he does not need help.

But Lao Cai, who was on the top when he heard the polite words, immediately said that he would not let him work on the boat because he looked down on him. If he hadn't considered that he couldn't beat Alonso, he almost jumped up and cursed.

Therefore, Alonso also assigned some tasks to him, which is why Lao Cai was so exhausted.

Originally in the Four Seas, the task assigned by Alonso was relatively easy, but the future of the great route is really unpredictable.Lao Cai, who was not mentally prepared, suffered a lot.

"That's where it's at. The climate of the great route can already be considered very gentle. If you go to the new world in the second half, the sky will probably not be rain and snow, but flames and meteorites. "

"Is it so scary?" Lao Cai shuddered, "It's really unimaginable that the old man got famous in such a horrible place before."

"I remember that it was said in the book that there are many bounty hunters on the Whiskey Peak, who are specially designed to deceive the cute new pirates who have just entered the great route." Nicole Robin put down the book in her hand and asked.

"Look, I don't know how long ago the sailing diary was, right? Whiskey Hill is not like this now." Alonso waved his hand lazily.

"Oh, have those bounty hunters been killed?" Lao Cai asked.

"No... those bounty hunters have already been recruited, and now they don't need to rely on deception to catch pirates, but come directly to force."

"Ah!? So arrogant?"

……

As the ships of Alonso and others approached slowly.Seeing the pirate ships approaching from the Whiskey Mountain, Lao Cai's face suddenly changed color, and a layer of black armed domineering was faintly wrapped around his feet.

"Is it going to start? Captain Alonso."

Snapped!Lao Cai received a violent shudder on the head. "Don't think about fighting and killing everything you see. The most important thing for a pirate is to understand the ways of the world."

"What the hell..., sophistication?!"

Alonso took out a phone bug, and after muttering for a while, the bounty hunter's boats that surrounded him aggressively turned a 180-degree turn and turned into a group of welcoming boats.

"Sophistication means that I know their boss." Alonso said with a smile.

"Isn't this too un-pirate?" Lao Cai was dumbfounded.

"Hehe, if your grandfather wasn't a pillar of the Kingdom of Flowers, Garp would have thrown him to the city of Advancement long ago. It can be seen that the relationship network exists everywhere."

Especially the next One Piece, if it weren't for the strong network, when he first started sailing, he didn't know how many times he was finished.Alonso muttered secretly in his heart.

.........

"Wow, it's really beautiful here!" After getting off the boat, Lao Cai looked around in surprise. The pier was not as messy as imagined, but was full of tidy floor tiles and a well-built driveway.

Especially in the distance, the entire Whiskey Mountain was built into a golden city, shining golden light under the sunlight.

"This should be the legendary Golden City. I heard that the main city of the Golden City was built in Alabasta not far from here. This should be their semicolon!"

"Can't think of the name of the Golden City, has it spread so far?" Alonso was a little surprised, after all, it's only been a few years.

In fact, Golden City, as the leader of the underground gaming business of the entire Pirate World, is more famous than Doflamingo himself imagined.Not to mention anything else, dozens of semicolons have been opened. This is a gambling industry opened on a town scale.

In addition, there are also some small golden semicolon casinos, which are distributed in many lively cities, and it can be said that they are making money every day.

Of course, in addition to the gaming industry, there are other entertainment activities like the Golden City, and it is an entertainment city as a whole.

"However, I heard that the Dragon Hunting Pirates are very strict with pirates, and these bounty hunters just saw us. They don't mean to show mercy. If all the pirates are caught, then Where are the guests from the Golden City?"

Nicole Robin, who has been observing the surroundings, said with some doubts.

After all, the guests who come to gamble the most should be pirates.

"As long as you buy tickets to the Golden City, the bounty hunters won't hunt them down," Alonso said with a smile. "So the business here is much more prosperous than expected."

Nicole Robin and Lao Cai were speechless for a moment, co-authoring this is a strong buy and sell!
"The tickets for the Golden City are as high as one million Baileys, but after buying it once, you can directly enter for free no matter where you are in the Golden City, and enjoy [-]% off the board and lodging fees, as well as special ship maintenance repair."

"It sounds pretty good." Lao Cai muttered, as if he didn't think he was at a disadvantage.

Nicole Robin smiled without saying a word. Although she is still young, Nicole Robin already has the demeanor of an intellectual beauty in the future. She can easily see the Golden City's means of attracting consumption.

Even if the Golden City makes a small profit on meals and ship repairs, but if you go there to spend, the bulk of your spending will definitely not be on meals and ship repairs, right?

Isn't it a dream to expect pirates to have the idea of ​​saving money?Money, beauties, rum, that is the life most pirates yearn for, what?Save money for retirement?How many pirates have you seen live to old age?

Maybe the next time I go to sea, people will feed sea beasts, be beaten to death by their peers, or be imprisoned by the navy and sent to Jinjin City. Then what will they do with so much money?Spoils of war for peers or the navy?
In this case, the income of the Golden City can be imagined, and the Golden City is also responsible for the business of selling stolen goods to pirates.

The spoils snatched by the pirates, in addition to the direct Bailey, the remaining gold and silver treasures and the like, although it is not difficult to sell, but it is inevitable that the price will be suppressed, and they can sell one-third of their value One is not bad.

Not to mention some works of art and the like, if they can sell for one-tenth of the original price, it is considered the buyer's kindness.
