Nero looked around.
Behind him was an endless sea.
In front of him was a lush forest. There was nothing special about it.
From the sea map, this place was located in the northeast of the island, while the Evil Dragon Pirates 'stronghold was located in the southwest.
The position between the two was almost diagonally.
Nero deliberately made such a big detour to avoid the many spies of the Evil Dragon Pirates.
He still had things to do and didn't want to be exposed to Ah Long so early.
Jaffe, who was beside Nero, looked surprised.
During the few days of sailing, she had also taken some time to understand the Evil Dragon Pirate Team.
The bounty for the captain of the Evil Dragon Pirates, Ah Long, had yet to reach the terrifying level of 30 million Bailey three years later, but it had already reached 24 million Bailey.
Moreover, with the collusion between Ah Long and the navy branch, the speed at which the Evil Dragon Pirate Gang amassed wealth was terrifying.
Just Nami alone had brought them a terrifying income of nearly 100 million Bailey.
Although this was a situation where the entire village was being threatened, it was also clear how wealthy the Evil Dragon Pirates were.
Although Nero didn't need much money now, she would have a chance to use it sooner or later. It wasn't a bad thing to save more.
"Jaffe, go find something to eat first. I have something to do.”
Nero said to Jaffe who was following behind her.
At this moment, they could already see a little smoke appearing in front of the forest. They should be able to find the village not far ahead.
"Alright then."
Seeing Nero's mysterious look, Jaffe had no choice but to agree.
He tapped his toes lightly.
As expected of a girl who grew up in the mountains.
In just a few breaths, Jaffe disappeared like a fish in the sea.
Nero watched Jaffe leave, then walked along the river towards Cocosia Village.
On her way, Nero met a middle-aged man who was fishing.
The harpoon danced vigorously, and in a short while, it had stabbed several fish. Their bright scales glistened under the sunlight.
In order to save time, Nero walked over.
"Uncle! May I know how to get to Cocosia Village?"
Nero tried her best to put on a kind face and asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man was on guard.
He held a sharp harpoon in his hand and was on guard against Nero.
After all, Nero didn't look like a resident of the island.
"Young man, you're not from here, are you?”
The middle-aged man looked at Nero, who didn't look like a bad person.
It could only be said that Nero's host was pretty good-looking and harmless.
"Oh, I'm from Banana.”
"What are you going to Cocosia Village for?”
The uncle saw that Nero was honest, so his face softened a bit, but he still couldn't help asking.
"I have a relative here and I want to see him.”
Nero remained calm and her acting skills were not bad.
The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this, as if he had recalled something bad.
"Didn't your relative tell you about the situation on this island? You'd better leave quickly. You'll be attacked by the evil dragon later."
The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped talking and looked around in fear. After making sure that there was no one around, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Young man, this is the territory of the Evil Dragon Pirates.”
Although the middle-aged man's face was pale, he still chose to warn Nero.
This was to prevent this young and strong young man from being discovered and being forced to stay as a laborer.
This was the original sin of the weak, and also the most basic rule of this world.
The era of the great pirates sounded better, but in fact, the ones who suffered the most were the powerless ordinary people.
Pirates with dreams like the red-haired straw hats were rare.
Most pirate groups were like the Evil Dragon Pirate Group and the pirates on Pirate Mountain. They burned, killed, and plundered. They did all kinds of evil.
In the end, not many people could maintain their original intentions in the face of power.
With enough power, the evil thoughts in his heart could no longer be controlled.
The dozens of villages controlled by the Evil Dragon Pirates on this island were only a small miniature of this world.
There were countless places that were crueler than this.
Therefore, in this world, strength was the only capital.
With strength, you can control your own life and not be forced to drift.
Nero looked at the uncle with a smile and replied,"
"I know. It's okay, uncle. I'll be careful.”
After saying that, Nero turned around and left.
He couldn't possibly say that he was here to defeat Ah Long, right? If he said that, others probably wouldn't believe it.
The middle-aged man looked at Nero's back and felt helpless.
These young people always thought that they had some strength, but in the end...
alas
He shook his head.
? The uncle placed the fish on the basket on his waist and continued to look for fish in the river.
