Arida and the others stood in front of the port of Roguetown. There was a triangular arch on the port of Roguetown. Seeing this scene, Arida was still very emotional that he had finally arrived at an address in the original novel.
"Sigh, this place is so bustling!" Arida looked around the memorial archway. There were all kinds of shops on the street, and there was a porch in front of the shops. It was crowded with people. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many fierce guys with knives and guns, who were dressed like non-mainstream people, he really wouldn't have known that this was a gathering place for pirates.
"Didn't they say that this is a gathering place for pirates? Why is it still so prosperous?" Demetrio was also confused. He had never been here before, because when Captain Jerry brought him to adventure, he would directly skip this place and enter the Great Sea Route.
As they talked, they walked deeper into the town. The deeper they went, the more prosperous it became, and the streets were wider. Of course, there were more pirates. Seeing how lively the place was, Arida waved his hand, allowing his crew to move freely. Soon, only Arida, Arline, Oliver, Gorb, Demetrio, Millie, and Mina were left.
" Are all the pirates here so cultured…" Oliver scratched his head in confusion and kept looking around. He had already seen hundreds of fierce-looking pirates on this street, not including other pirates.
She saw that he hadn't finished speaking.
Thump!
A person was sent flying, lying on the ground with a bruised face. Immediately after, a few pirates carrying knives rushed out and punched and kicked the person. In a short while, the person was beaten to death. Then, two of them dragged the corpse away, and the remaining people skillfully took out mops, rags, and buckets to wash the blood on the ground.
Most importantly, look at the people around them. They were all indifferent to this matter, as if they were used to it. There weren't even many onlookers.
"Uh…"
Arida and the others were dumbfounded. What was going on?
"Hehe, looking at you, this is your first time in Roguetown, right?”
Suddenly, an old voice came from the side. There was a hint of laughter in the voice.
Arida and the others turned their heads. An old man with white hair and a height of about 1.5 meters was smiling at them with his hands behind his back. Arida asked curiously,"That's right! Old Master, this is our first time here. It looks very prosperous here, but there are pirates who even killed people in broad daylight. Isn't there a navy management? Aren't you afraid?"
"Yes, the navy is in a fortress outside Roguetown, but the navy is in a weak position. Moreover, we were very afraid of these pirates at the beginning, but it was fine later.”The old man said with a slightly regretful smile.
"Oh, then can you tell us in detail?”Allaine asked with a puzzled expression.
"Sure!" The old man stroked his beard and slowly recalled."We have to start from when One Piece Roger died…"
Along with the old man's recollection, Arida and the others also learned about the strange situation in Roguetown.
Back then, the last sentence of the pirate king, Gor D. Roger, before his death, opened the prelude to the era of the great pirates. It made people rush to the sea, causing many pirates to establish hegemony in order to compete for the " One Piece."
Although the Eastern Sea was the weakest of the four seas, there were still many people who went to the sea, especially Roguetown, which was located near the entrance of the great sea route. Pirates passed by almost every day. At that time, the navy had deployed more than a thousand elites here, built forts and fortresses, and sent colonels from the headquarters to stop the pirates from going to the great sea route.
However, there were simply too many pirates. They could not defeat one pirate group, but when the other pirate groups attacked together, or when more than ten pirate groups attacked together, they even took turns to fight. The navy headquarters and various branches and divisions of the East China Sea had provided support, but they could not hold on any longer. In the end, the navy could only defend the fortress to the death, and Roguetown fell to the pirates.
Moreover, because the Great Sea Route was too dangerous, those who went there never came back. As a result, many pirates did not dare to go to the Great Sea Route even after going out to sea. They gathered in Roguetown, and as a result, more and more pirates gathered. The navy had once gathered troops in the East China Sea to clean up a few times, but after each time, they would quickly return to their original state. The navy had no choice but to maintain the status quo.
Of course, there were smart people among the pirates. He knew that if every pirate group came to Roguetown to rob once, Roguetown would be abandoned sooner or later. This would make it impossible for future pirates to enter the great sea route as their last supply point. Moreover, the pirates also needed a gathering place.
Therefore, some pirate groups banded together and set some rules for Roguetown. These rules were even supported by Roguetown's navy. There were not many rules. The main thing was that pirates could fight and kill in Roguetown, but they were not allowed to rob and wantonly kill the residents and merchants of Roguetown. They were also not allowed to destroy a large number of buildings. The navy and the navy did not allow large-scale battles with more than 100 people in Roguetown. If they wanted to start a war, they could do it outside the town or on the sea.
As for the rest, it was up to them. If they violated the rules, the pirates and navy of Roguetown would join forces to encircle and suppress them.
"Haha…pirates working together. Interesting, interesting.”Arida smiled happily. So that was the situation. No wonder the owner of the weapon shop in Roguetown complained that Smoggy's arrival and management had caused his business to plummet.
"Not bad, we can stay in Roguetown with peace of mind. We can set off after Gorbo has bought the remaining supplies.”Allaine smiled and patted Gorb's shoulder.
" Hehe..." Golb and Demetrio also laughed.
"Just in time. I'll go buy some wine." Oliver suddenly became energetic.
Chu ~
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion came from the direction of the port.
"What happened?" Alarmed, Arida quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the port.
"It's the sound of cannonballs." Allaine and the others also turned around.
At the same time, the people on the streets were also a little flustered. From the sound of the cannon, it seemed that the shells had hit the port.
Sure enough, a large group of people rushed over from the port in a panic, almost blocking the street.
"Run!"
"The battle has begun."
"The navy is going to start a war against the pirates in the town.”
……
Arida and the others were stunned.
Navy?
Where did the navy come from?
The navy headquarters in Donghai had been wiped out, so how could they have the courage to attack?
"Is the navy going to wipe out the pirates in Roguetown again?”The old man almost pulled out his beard. He was so scared that he hurriedly ran back. His speed was so fast that ordinary young men could not catch up.
"F * ck, Captain, our ship is still at the port.”Allaine slapped his right leg and suddenly woke up.
" F * ck, hurry, hurry back to the port." Arida dashed out with a whoosh.
"F * ck, wait for us."
Allaine and Oliver were so angry that they cursed. The others quickly followed.
