Chapter 150: Slippery all over!
The climate of the island where Carnival City is located has a very normal climate. The weather is sunny and windy, neither cold nor hot. However, the products are not good. Before the sea train was opened, it was a normal island.
After the railway was opened, there was industry here and it became a famous entertainment city.
After half a circle around the island, a huge Ferris wheel came into Sage's sight. Even in the daytime, he could see some large enough entertainment facilities in the city.
The entertainment industry does not only refer to the custom industry.
Detailed information provided by Carnival City shows that it includes various industries such as children's entertainment, performing arts, singing and dancing, and entertainment.
It is a very prosperous city with several ports and a large number of ships.
Whether they are merchant ships transporting goods or cruise ships simply transporting tourists, you can see them in batches.
Even several docked warships were found in the port.
“The best place to grab.”
Sarge licked his lips, bared his teeth and said with a smile: "I'll give you half a day to relax, gather information, and then start the robbery, Lao Huo."
Hawkins pulled out a few tarot cards, pointed to a place on the island, and said: "Stop there. The chance of being discovered is 10%. It's a good place to hide."
There is a forest covering the direction he pointed, which just blocks the view of Carnival City from the city.
As the Death Omen docked at the shore, the gangway dropped, and Sage walked down first. The black-on-red-tipped fur cloak behind him swayed with his movements, leaving only the No. 200 guarding the ship. people, leading a thousand people towards the city ahead.
In just twenty minutes, their footsteps left the ground and reached the stone-paved street.
Surrounded by a dazzling array of shops, from time to time you can see several circuses passing by performing acrobatics, which made Renedia and Lars' eyes shine.
One is ten years old and the other is eight years old. Of course they are very interested in children's play.
“Sag, I want to go there!”
Reynedia grabbed Sage's cloak, pointed at the huge Ferris wheel, and shouted.
“Then take a group of people over and find out where it's worth grabbing.”
Sage waved his hand and said, "It's all gone. Go and do whatever you want."
Reynedia cheered and left with Lars and a dozen or so demons who were interested in the amusement park.
The pirates also dispersed and went into groups to have fun.
They all have money, so of course they need to spend money.
Whether they buy new clothes, find a place to drink, or have fun wherever they go, that is all their freedom.
Although the entertainment industry is developed, the business here is not that weak. There are still quite a lot of things, and you can find something of interest here.
Lily likes perfume. While leading people to find out information, she also wanted to see if there was any good-smelling perfume.
In addition to being interested in ingredients, Marika also likes some kitchen knives, so she took a group of subordinates to buy kitchen knives.
As for Sage
Don't seek the best, just the most expensive!
“Hey, why are you going?”
Sage saw Hawkins was about to leave, so he stopped him.
"I'm going to see some decorative items and bathing utensils." Hawkins said calmly.
In addition to his love for decorative arts, Hawkins also liked bathing very much. The bathroom in his own room was the most luxurious.
“You are a big man, but you actually like to take a bath. You are considered an outlier among pirates.”
Sage chuckled: "I'll buy those things later. Let's go, our captain will take you to have fun! As for taking a bath, letting others wash it for you is the happiest thing!"
At this time, there were only a few men left around him.
Hawkins, Ajin, Palu, Miot, and Bellamy.
Hawkins frowned and said: "I only like to take a bath alone, and... it's daytime, it's still morning, isn't it too early?"
Of course he can understand what Sage means, but he is not very interested in these. In comparison, he prefers to do divination quietly.
“What happened in the morning? Who has time to wait until evening and look over there?”
Sagar pointed to a row of tall buildings in front of him, "The lights in that place are full of colors. It's bright outside, but it's neon and colorful inside. There's no difference between day and night. Let's go and have fun!"
As he said that, he strode forward without thinking about himself. Hawkins pursed his lips and had no choice but to follow.
Although there were only a few people in this group, they were not easy to mess with at first glance. Bellamy looked arrogant, and from time to time he would reach out and lick his lower lip, which was full of disgust.
Miote has a huge body of about three meters tall and a calm face that makes people afraid to look directly at him.
Ah Jin had a sinister look on his face, and his eyes were like those of a ghost, exuding a fierce aura that made people afraid to approach him.
Hawkins was melancholy, but his black vertical eyebrows gave him a bit of evil energy.
The leader Sage was even more arrogant. The gold and silver jewelry he wore made him look like a rich country man. Behind him were a group of thugs, asking pedestrians in front to avoid them one by one.
As for Palu
That silly face has nothing to say, no one cares about sneaking in anyway.
Just among the pedestrians and tourists who were actively avoiding it, a small figure suddenly rushed over, carrying a series of balloons and shouting: "Buy a balloon!"
It was a child with a ponytail, about seven or eight years old, with a pair of big eyes, standing next to the road that Sag must pass, and handed the thread in his hand forward, "It's very beautiful. Balloons, buy one, guest!”
Palu clicked his tongue and took the lead to drive the girl away, but at this moment, a man ran faster than him, hugged the girl, bowed to Sagar and said: "I'm very sorry, several guests. "The child is ignorant, so I will take her away."
That was a middle-aged man who ran over from the balloon stall next to him. He was pulling the little girl and was about to go back.
“Dad, they are also guests, maybe they will buy something.” The little girl was still shouting.
"Shut up and come back with me!" the middle-aged man shouted, but he obviously didn't have much strength to hold the little girl's hand. This is a very thin man, with a hungry yellow color that only appears due to malnutrition on his face, and he has no strength to catch anyone.
“Wait a minute.”
Sage suddenly spoke, which startled the middle-aged man. He protected the little girl behind him with his backhand. He was slightly wary and forced a smile: "Guest, what can I do for you?"
This group of people looked very difficult to deal with at first glance, and he didn't want to get into trouble.
“Just buy a balloon.”
Sarge took out a gold coin from his cloak, and it flew in the air for a while with a flick of his thumb. The middle-aged man subconsciously took it.
“That, carp streamer-like balloon, bring it to me.”
He pointed at one of the balloons the little girl was holding and said.
The little girl's eyes lit up, she ran out from behind the middle-aged man and handed a balloon that looked like a carp streamer to Sage, “Thank you, guest, this is your balloon!”
Sagar waved his hand and asked Palu to take it. He glanced at the middle-aged man who was confused about the gold coins, then at the little girl, and said with a smile: "Not bad. He is helping the family at such a young age. He is a good person." Girl."
"Of course!"
The little girl raised her head proudly, "My dad is responsible for guarding the street stall, and I am responsible for selling along the street. Now I have sold twenty balloons, and my goal today is one hundred!"
“Oh? Why work so hard?” Sag laughed.
“Of course it's to repay the loan. Our family still has thirty-two years of loans. My grandparents, my parents, are working hard, and I will work hard too.”
The little girl said with some hope, "Sooner or later the loan will be repaid, and then I will buy the stall, so I don't have to pay rent."
“Hehehe, come on.”
Sage rubbed the little girl's head and continued moving forward.
"Guest, guest. The gold coins are too valuable. I will change them for you right now!" Only then did the middle-aged man react and wanted to catch up.
As soon as he took a step forward, Ah Jin stretched out his hand to stop his movement and said, "It's for you."
As he said that, he ignored the man and followed Sage.
Hawkins followed Sager and said thoughtfully: "Simple kindness? Or gathering information?"
“All.”
Sagar smiled and said, "When you are rich, isn't it normal for you to show kindness occasionally? The intelligence department happened to find out, killing two birds with one stone. However, have you noticed?"
Hawkins nodded and looked towards the street ahead.
On both sides of the street, in addition to shops, there are also people selling small commodities at street stalls. Compared with the tourists, these people selling street stalls look very weak, as if they have not had enough to eat. Rice is very different from that middle-aged man.
The performers who perform **** the streets and make tourists cheer from time to time can see numbness under their almost frozen smiles.
In addition, those who opened shops also looked tired.
“Puppet.” Hawkins said succinctly.
“Hahahaha, you are quite insightful.”
Sage smiled and said: "It's something like that. The houses here are not cheap, and they also involve things like mortgages and rents. People in Carnival City all work for others, so the group of people who have gained wealth "
His eyes gradually showed greed, "You are richer than I thought!"
There is suffering everywhere. This is an unchanging truth. Of course, there will also be nobles and wealthy businessmen. These people control most of the wealth in a place.
It is also this group of people that Sage wants to rob.
Otherwise, who would you rob?
The balloon seller?
His one gold coin can be worth the balloons he sold for several days.
This kind of bitterness, what can you get?
A few people walked through several streets and came to the high-rise building that Sage had pointed out before, which was glowing with colorful lights during the day. It was also a street, and the entire street was covered with colorful signs.
Under the signboard, there are women dressed in different styles, either charming or innocent, standing under the signboard to solicit customers.
"Guest, do you want to come here for a drink?" A woman's eyes lit up when she saw Sage and the others. She was completely mesmerized by the jewelry Sage was wearing, and she came over directly, "Our izakaya is very good. , it will definitely make the guests slippery and shine!”
This kind of place
Of course I drink.
What else could it be?
Explicit, do you understand it?
“It's so slippery, there are no good women at all, liar!”
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a fat man walked out angrily, "You actually dare to charge two hundred thousand beli for a bottle of Tom Perry. Other stores only charge one hundred thousand. It's just a black shop, worse than me!"
Sound, very familiar
Sage turned his head and looked over, stunned for a moment.
The fat man who was talking also saw Sage being clung to by the woman. He was startled when he walked out and stopped there.
He blinked, as if he was hallucinating after drinking too much. He rubbed his eyes uncertainly and took another look. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The greedy and arrogant face under the white hair is unmistakable to him!
The person who added a rich touch to his life that is still unforgettable.
Now on the sea, he is even more famous, and the name of natural disaster resounds throughout the sea!
“Norton Sugg!”
Hearing this, Sage bared his teeth and said, "Link! Long time no see! You've come to the Grand Line too."
