Raise your glass and ignite the world of One Piece

The Brewmaster departed from Batlila Island and headed towards the Kingdom of Sobel.

As Venn said, it is certainly not as easy to get high-end filling equipment on the small island of Batlila as it is on the large island of Sobel Kingdom.

Well, who said Wayne can't make wine bottles?

Of course, Wayne's main purpose is to go to Sobel Kingdom to investigate.

Not just because he was very interested in bears.

It's because you should be able to meet some interesting characters hiding in the dark there.

"President, ahead is the last supply island before reaching Sobel Kingdom."

Karl looked at the chart carefully and marked the location corresponding to the island that appeared ahead.

Although his navigation skills are half-assed, that's only in terms of the Grand Line.

In the South China Sea, his navigation skills are still up to average.

"Then let's go take a look and replenish the food."

Wayne stretched out from the captain's cabin.

"I'm tired of eating fish all the time. Speaking of which, there are only a few sea kings in the world."

The area of ​​the Four Seas is much larger than that of the Grand Line.

Therefore, it may take a few days to reach an island on the Grand Line, but if it is on the Four Seas, it may take several months of sailing.

Of course, the Kingdom of Sobel is relatively close to Batlila, and even so, it would take more than a week to sail.

They had been sailing for five days.

“Tsk, I didn’t feel it when I experienced life and death at sea.

"After staying in Bartlila for a few days, I started to yearn for the land——

"Get ready to land on the island!"

"Yes, President!"

William guarded the Brewmaster while Wayne and Carl went to the island to purchase food and supplies.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Uh... Carl, have you been to this island before?"

After walking not far, the corner of Wayne's mouth twitched.

Not far in front of them, there were explosions and gunshots from a store that seemed normal just now.

Then thick smoke started to appear, and there was no doubt that the store had been robbed.

But then instead of the robbers running out with their things, the store owner was blasted out with a rocket launcher.

"Boom..."

An explosion sounded in the street, and the robbers who had ran in to steal things were knocked upside down by the explosion.

Then, another wave of delinquents who looked like they were wearing fancy clothes rushed over, robbed this wave of unlucky robbers, and walked away...

"What's going on with this special horse!"

Karl's eyes widened and he couldn't help but cursed:

"This island is called 'Spitsberg', also known as 'Bear Island'. We have indeed been here before...

"But it was quite quiet and peaceful here back then!"

"Tsk, isn't there a naval station here? Don't you care?"

Wayne shook his head. Although he was stationed in the Grand Line, Sihai also had missions to come.

It is true that he has never been to this island, but usually such an island that can even be built into a city has a navy stationed there.

Karl scratched his head when he heard this and sighed:

"Well, it seems that the country on this island is not a member of the World Government."

"Well, that's it."

Wayne also gave up on using his knowledge to find a naval base.

"If you are not a franchising country and you don't pay the 'heavenly gold', you won't get the protection of the navy."

"Heavenly Gold", the huge wealth that the participating countries of the World Government must pay tribute to the "World Nobles" Tianlong people every year.

That is, the protection fee paid by the franchise countries to the world government.

In the era of great piracy, which is becoming increasingly fierce, even more countries are sparing no effort to collect "heavenly gold" in order to obtain the protection of their navy.

Of course, it seems that more countries are using this excuse to double plunder their people.

Therefore, part of the bad reputation of pirates comes from their real atrocities.

The other part also comes from the more demanding "Heavenly Gold" tribute they indirectly facilitated.

If you don’t join or pay, you will be robbed by pirates or attacked by enemy countries.

It's so realistic.

So why fight for the justice of the world and the safety of the people...

The navy may have thought so.

But the World Government made the navy's justice inherently irreparable.

"Well, although it is said that there is nothing in this world without effort, one is 'excessive' and the other is 'hypocritical'.

“This operation of the World Government that squeezes everyone so hard while praising their own merits is really disgusting to death.

"Compared to being killed by pirates, starving to death because you can't afford the heavenly gold is probably a more miserable way to die."

Karl has experienced life and death and seems to have a clear view on these things.

He and William paid a price for Wayne's protection.

Their loyalty.

But in the first place it was their own free will.

Secondly, not only will you survive, but you will also live a better life.

Give everything you have and then die miserably.

For businessmen, they would rather die with their wealth.

[Oh, to many people, BIGMOM’s plan of charging life span in exchange for shelter seems much kinder in comparison. 】

Wayne thought silently and shook his head slightly.

Carl is a businessman, and now he can also be said to be an outlaw.

What's more, he is now a subordinate of himself, the "Dragon Slayer".

The awe of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons was long gone.

But he also followed the trading principles of a businessman.

Looking at the World Government's military garrison and protection for the franchised countries from a "transactional" perspective, the country and the people are undoubtedly doing a loss-making business.

“From time to time, there will be countries that are kicked out of the membership because they cannot pay the heavenly gold, and then perish for various reasons.

"But regardless of whether they were kicked out or not, the rampage of bandits seems to be the prelude to destruction."

Wayne walked forward, and he felt as if he was face to face with some eager glances around the street.

"Carl, throw these guys into the ocean and calm down."

"Yes, President!"

"Shh!"

"what!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft! Who! What bastard..."

"Puff, puff..."

Wayne walked forward slowly and calmly, and Karl's figure disappeared from his side.

Then, a series of exclamations and the sound of falling into the water came.

"It's done, President!"

Karl took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and shook his head proudly. It only took 30 seconds.

This pocket watch was bought with the pocket money given by Wayne when he was in Bartlila.

When he started to study new moves inspired by Wayne, he found that this pocket watch "matched" his "temperament" very well.

"The moving distance has improved, and the strength has also increased, but the movements are still a bit sloppy."

Wayne's comments poured cold water on Karl, and his eyelids drooped.

"I'll try my best... ugh!!"

Karl suddenly felt as if his head had been hit by something, and he felt dizzy.

"This, this is..."

"what!!!"

In the distance, a young man's wailing voice filled with despair and anger could be heard.

Karl turned his head with difficulty, but saw that the people nearby, as well as the robbers who had just been thrown into the sea and climbed up, were already frothing at the mouth and fell to the ground!

"This is... the tyrannical domineering!"

Wayne looked in the direction of the sound with a serious face.

His sense of knowledge has been turned on, and it is like real anger and hatred, filling his senses.

"Did you just wake up..."
