People are pirates, creating Cthulhu

Under Wilson's urging, Bart skipped several opportunities to stop the ship and crossed the mountains and seas to the Black Iron Town port in just two days.

Although Bart said he disliked Wilson for not doing his job properly, secretly he had a special affection for Lynch who was willing to invest a huge amount of money in Wilson. Every time they had a meal, Bart would specially arrange for the chef to open a small stove for the three of them and add an extra meat dish.

But even after all three people got off the boat, Bart's farewell was still full of distrust of Wilson.

"Wilson, after taking Atrak's investment, you have to be more careful. If you lose all your underwear again, I won't have the money to save you!"

"I know! It's so long-winded..."

Wilson waved his hand and took Lynch and Robin straight to the busiest part of the town without looking back.

As an important mining town, the prosperity of Black Iron Town is no less than that of Pallas Island. However, the black smoke filling the air of the town makes people who come here for the first time more or less intimidated.

Even the green plants on both sides of the road were soaked in black smoke, revealing a black metallic luster from the inside out.

Although the environment is very poor, for various reasons, the town is already becoming overcrowded at this time.

"Hey! We promised to deliver ten tons of cargo today! You're not going to tell me there's no more, are you?"

"Increase the price! I can increase the price by 30.00%, as long as you can get me thirty tons of black iron within three days!"

"Brother, I'm already in Black Iron Town, but now there's no goods everywhere. Black iron has been sold for 20 beli per ton on the black market. It's still priceless but no market."

"Goods! I want goods! No one can leave here today without goods!"

A rough voice exploded in the crowd, and then came the screams of exclamation from everyone. The crowded street in front instantly disappeared, leaving only a man with dark skin and voluptuous muscles all over his body, holding a gun in one hand and holding a tight circle with the other. A portly man.

呲!

Just when the crowd was panicking, the head of the black man who had taken the hostage suddenly drew a beautiful arc in the air, and hot blood spread on the ground. The black man's arm strength was lost, and the fat man's legs were missing. He fell to the ground and gasped wildly.

A pale-faced, tall and thin man wearing a top hat appeared behind the two of them. This man looked like a mime actor with strange dark red lips.

"La... Lafitte..."

Someone among the people who fled far away shouted, and the whole street instantly became silent.

Lafitte wiped his cane knife elegantly, leaned down to the shivering fat man, and asked in a low voice: "I wonder how much your life is worth?"

"All...all...all my money will be given to you..."

Sweat poured out of the fat man's body as if it was free of money. He hurriedly answered Lafitte's question without thinking.

After hearing his answer, Lafitte showed a satisfied smile and put his cane knife into its sheath: "Then let's go, it's time to pay."

Watching the fat man and Lafitte leave here, the street was like boiling water again, submerged in the noise.

"Atrak, uh...this is forty thousand beli. The money invested will be returned to you."

Wilson was like a rooster that had lost a fight, his whole body was dying, and he completely lost the high-spirited feeling he had when he first set foot on the island.

"what happened?"

"Alas, I was too naive. I didn't expect that the price of ore in Black Iron Town has risen to such an extent that [-] Baileys can't even buy a ton of ore."

Wilson knew that the price of black iron ore would rise, but he never thought that the price would rise to such an outrageous level. You must know that before this, the highest unit price of black iron ore was less than [-] Baileys per ton, which was only a few dollars. The time in the day actually doubled by nearly fifty times.

"Don't worry, let's find a place to rest first."

Lynch did not take the money bag he handed over, but instead led Robin through the streets and alleys to the door of a hotel.

Due to the sudden increase in the number of people on the island, most hotels in Black Iron Town have "full" signs hanging at the door. After looking around, this hotel was the only one with available rooms. Although it was not as shabby as the forest, Qi was not a very particular person, so he took Robin and Wilson directly to the front desk to check in.

While they were going through the formalities, a dark-skinned man with a black turban on his head, round black glasses, and a black trench coat came down from upstairs carrying a package.

This man was Vice Admiral Kuzan who rushed from Marineland to Pallas Island in the Western Sea.

Since he didn't know who else in the navy was Sakaski's accomplice, he did not travel on a warship during this operation. Fortunately, with his Devil Fruit ability, the speed of riding a bicycle on the sea was not much slower than that of a warship.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left Upside Down Mountain, he would meet a group of secret agents belonging to CP9. After following them to the land of Black Iron Town, what he didn't expect even more was that Robin would also appear here.

Pushing up his glasses, Kuzan left the hotel without stopping.

Whether it was the arrival of CP9 or the appearance of Robin, he realized that something big was about to happen in this town that had just suffered a serious mining disaster.

Maybe the real reason for the change in Sakaski can be found without going to Pallas Island.

After checking in, as soon as Wilson entered the room, he brought up the old matter again and wanted to return the [-] Baileys to Lynch.

Lynch still didn't accept it. He patted Wilson on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, [-] Baileys is enough as a start-up capital. You can take Robin around the town later and learn more about it in detail." Let’s take a look at the current market situation and let me handle the purchase of black iron ore.”

Lynch's voice seemed to be magical, and even though there was no basis for it, Wilson believed what he said.

After a short rest, the three of them divided into two teams. Wilson took Robin to inquire about the situation in the town, while Lynch stayed away from the town alone, passed through the dense forest, and went straight to the main body of the "Spoon", Black Iron Mine.

There is only one road leading from the town to the mine. Although it is quite solidly built, it is still a mountain road through mountains and ridges. It has been covered with gray-green leaves after it has not been used for a few days.

At the end of the road, close to the mine, a group of soldiers in bright clothes guarded the perimeter of the mine. At this time, several men in black had just completed negotiations with the soldiers and crossed the blockade to enter the mine.

The gray mist flowed around Lin Qi's body, and his body merged with the surroundings. Even if he stepped on the leaves, it would be as if he was nothing, leaving no trace.
