"Captain, Roguetown is just ahead.”Demetrio, who was wearing a sun hat, held a monocular and observed the island several miles away.
"Ah, I know. Roguetown, the town of the beginning and the end, the hometown of the Pirate King. We've arrived.”Arida put away the funny expression on his face and looked at the town on the island expressionlessly.
The town on this island was a famous place in both the world of Arida's previous life and this world. It was a town that witnessed the life and death of a king, and it was also the place that Arida wanted to go to the most in the East Sea. Even if he did not want to be the Pirate King, as a pirate, it would be a lifetime regret for Arida if he did not come here to witness it.
"Captain, there are many pirate ships in Roguetown!”Demetrio, who was observing through binoculars, suddenly exclaimed.
"What?" Arida quickly picked up a telescope and looked in the direction of Roguetown. He was a little stunned. This was impossible! Why are there so many pirate ships?
From the binoculars of Arida, there were at least ten ships docked at the port of Roguetown. Looking at the flags on them, many of them were pirate skulls. They belonged to at least eight or nine different pirate groups, and the rest were basically merchant ships.
Roguetown was located near the entrance of the great sea route in the East China Sea. It was a place that one must pass through to enter the great sea route. This place should be a key location where the navy was stationed. Why were there so many pirate ships quietly docked at the port?
"This kind of critical place…should at least be where the navy is stationed.”Demetrio was also a little confused.
Listening to Arida and Demetrio's description, Allaine frowned. He thought carefully and said in a guessing tone,""Could it be that Roguetown was originally a place where the navy was stationed, but because of the arrival of the Great Voyage Era, the sudden increase in pirates entering the Great Sea Route caused Roguetown, which was originally heavily guarded, to become a gathering place for pirates under the constant assault of countless pirates?”
"Yes, it's possible!" Arida suddenly remembered that in the original novel, the highest commander of the navy stationed in Roguetown was Smoky Fruit ability user Smog. Before he became the highest commander of Roguetown, this was once a gathering place for pirates, similar to Magic Valley Town of the Great Sea Route, which was a part of Gaya Island, where Hyena Bellamy first appeared.
Arida guessed that because the navy had to deal with the pirates of the other three seas, as well as the pirates of the New World in the first half and the second half of the great sea route, and because the navy had to guard the entire sea, they were exhausted every day. Therefore, whether it was the navy headquarters or the other branch fortresses, no powerful generals could be sent here to guard.
The slightly weaker generals had to deal with the sudden increase in the number of pirates in the East China Sea every day, and they were simply too busy. Sending overly strong generals to the East China Sea, the weakest sea, for long-term garrison was a waste of combat power in itself. Moreover, the navy, which had always felt that their combat power was insufficient, would not do so. They wanted to send all the officers with powerful combat power to the new world to suppress those big pirates. Therefore, the situation in Roguetown had been so bad.
As for the navy, because the situation at sea had become more stable, the three major forces had joined forces to balance the sea, so the navy had sent Smoggy to Roguetown.
The reason was simple:
First, Smoggy was the former general, Blackwrist Zefa's teacher. In addition, he was a natural-type Smoky Fruit ability user, so his strength was enough to suppress the pirates of the East Sea. Because those pirates who did not have a domineering aura could not cause any damage to Smoggy, those physical skills experts who were stronger than Smoggy were not as good as Smoggy.
Second, Smoggy was a troublemaker himself. He was a lone ranger who often disobeyed his superiors. However, he was a fruit ability user with the nature attribute. He was not weak and was a rising star in the navy. With General Qing Zhi helping him, it was not easy to punish him, but it was also a headache for the navy. It just so happened that Roguetown lacked a fierce general to guard it, so they sent him over. Out of sight, out of mind.
Third, Smog was also born in Roguetown and was very familiar with Roguetown. He was definitely one of the best candidates to be the highest officer of Roguetown.
"Isn't it better if we don't have a navy? After all, our original plan wasn't to fight the navy head-on. We only wanted to make a name for ourselves and let the navy know about us.”Oliver leaned against the railing lazily.
"Ha, then we'll rest in Roguetown for a bit before we can enter the great sea route.”Demetrio said excitedly.
"At the same time, I can replenish the supplies that I didn't buy in Houton Port City.”Gorb replied.
Not long after, the Chris entered the port of Roguetown.
Compared to the other pirate ships that were less than 100 meters long, Chris's warship could be considered the largest. The pirates who were left behind on the pirate ships looked up at the huge Chris with their mouths agape. This was because these pirate ships were clearly much smaller than the Chris. Be it in length, width, or height, they could not compare.
"Such a big ship, is it a pirate?”
"This pirate flag…it feels so familiar.”
"That, that's the C-Chris Pirates.”
"The Chris Pirates with a total bounty of 80 million Bailey on their first attempt!”
"The number one person in the Eastern Sea, the Golden Hoop with a bounty of 40 million Bailey, Chris T. Arida's Pirate Squad.”
"They, they have also come to Roguetown. Are they going to the great sea route called the Demon Sea?”
……
The pirates on the pirate ships and the sailors on the merchant ships discussed animatedly. When they saw Arida's pirate flag, their eyes were filled with fear, envy, surprise, unwillingness, and many more. However, no one or pirate ship dared to stand in the way of the Chris.
After all, a person's name was like a tree's shadow. The navy was not an idiot. For a pirate group to receive such a high bounty on their first time, there must be something powerful and dangerous about it. Although the bounty did not necessarily represent the strength of an individual.
When the world government and the navy issued the bounty, they considered the threat this person posed to the world or the navy. However, there was no doubt that those powerful pirates all had extremely high bounties.
Even Nicole Robin, who was known as the " Son of the Devil " and could decipher historical texts, was offered a bounty of 79 million Bailey when she was only eight years old. However, that was because Robin's existence would very likely expose the history of 800 years ago that the World Government had tried their best to hide. This history was the World Government's bottom line and taboo. It was a past that the World Government had tried their best to hide.
Even so, the bounty issued by the World Government did not exceed 100 million, because to them, Robin's danger was even less than a supernova with a bounty of more than 100 million.
Therefore, for pirates, the higher the bounty, the stronger they would be.
