Chapter 290 Turtle
Vacanogres is a standard volcanic island with a small area. It is not a member of the World Government. It is not even a country because it has a small population and only one town close to the landing point. A few scattered villages.
According to Andre, he didn't know how many villages there were, but there were about 10,000 people in the towns.
Boom!
Boom!
A strong storm was blowing on the rough sea, and streaks of thunder were mixed with the storm and fell towards the sea.
In this sea area where any ship sailing would be swallowed up by the dangerous weather, a black ship moved forward with the rough waves and was not affected by the rough waves, as if it was parallel to the waves.
Stable duck skin.
Boom!
A bolt of thunder descended against the window of the Death Omen Star, which shocked Andre who was standing there. He paused and continued: "The one who rules there is our mayor, and he is also the owner of the island. He has ruled for generations. Stay there. Of course, if it's you, Lord Sage, you don't have to be afraid at all.”
Andri doesn't have the courage to challenge the family that has been ruled for generations. It has nothing to do with whether he is strong enough. Even though he has subordinates, he still won't challenge authority from the bottom of his heart.
He is just a businessman.
And this time he was able to come to Gareth because of the order of their mayor. It has been like this since a long time ago. Because it is very close to Gareth, food is often transported here for sale, and then brought Some merchandise goes back.
But in the meantime, he won't make much money. Although as a merchant, he is better than the civilians living on the island and is qualified to trade in other places, the status of a merchant is the same no matter where he is.
They just serve the nobility.
But it's still a service, so why not replace them with someone who treats them well?
Just because he doesn't dare, doesn't mean Sage doesn't.
This person is a natural disaster dragon and everyone dares to kill him, there is nothing he dares not do!
The ambition that was growing day by day but they didn't dare to act, met a guy who was bold and kind to them, and of course there was a serious chemical reaction.
After listening to Andre's introduction, Sag changed to a more comfortable position and leaned on the throne in the banquet hall. He put one foot on the armrest and nodded:
"Very good, I will leave it to you to manage after I conquer the place. If you want to set up a food factory, then set it up on that island."
"The only thing I ask of you is to pay as much salary as you should. Do you understand? As for profit, I only collect taxes. How much money you can make is up to you."
"Yes, Lord Sager! I will not let you down!" Andre's eyes shone.
He understood clearly that the ruler was Sage, and he only served him. The people on the territory he occupied certainly belonged to him, and even he himself served Sage.
But one thing is, he can make money!
Putting aside costs and taxes, the rest is his!
In addition to setting up a food factory on the island, he has asked three times, and he indeed has the power to open a factory at will on Lord Calamity's territory!
That means you can make money again!
In this ocean, if you don't have status and just have a lot of money, there will be problems.
There is a powerful guy who protects the representatives and can make money.
This is something I don't even dare to dream about.
"Where are you?"
Sage stopped looking at Andre and turned to ask Lily.
Lily looked at the permanent pointer on Vulcanogres in her hand, thought for a while, and said:
"If it's a day's sailing distance for an ordinary ship, we'll arrive in about two hours. As for the location, it's due east of Gareth."
Not really.
Of course, the Grand Line cannot be viewed this way. If the sun is used as the anchor point, the entire Grand Line intersects with the Red Continent in an 'X' shape. The first half of the Grand Line is southeast, and the second half is northwest.
But Lily explained it to Sage in the shape of a cross, just because illiterate people could understand it.
"That's pretty quick. It can be solved in the evening. Marika, just do something and wait until I occupy that place and then have dinner there." Sage said.
"Understood."
Marika said with a smile, and then looked at Sayu who was still a little timid in the banquet hall, "Can you please have sweets, Sayu?"
"Okay, okay, thank you, Madam Marika." Sayu nodded.
The little girl also came.
Originally, Sage didn't want to come. It's a small island with not enough people, and it's just a mayor. He doesn't need to take action. He can just send individual cadres there. Send a big cadre to a safe spot and it can definitely be done.
But this should be considered his first subsidiary territory, and it is also a grain-producing area, so he still has to give him face.
There is another thing, and that is the material problem of rainbow gems.
Sayu's rainbow gem was made from a large amount of material. She was a fairly good scientist. Most of the materials could be prepared in the Kingdom of Gareth, but there was a missing type of volcanic rock.
It happened that the place was a volcanic island, and she wanted to see if it was suitable.
So Sage decided to go in person. Moria was in charge of the Kingdom of Gareth, so there was no big problem, and he wasn't afraid of any sneak attacks.
As for the people I brought with me, I brought three of them, and they were also the most core personnel on the ship.
Lily is a navigator and cannot run away.
Leti is a boatman and can also take over the ship when necessary, which is equally important.
Marika is the cook, and the food she makes is of course the most delicious and essential.
Bringing a thousand newly joined pirates, although it is only half of the Death Star, the current Death Star is not like before. With the existence of the power meter, it only needs a minimum of 300 people to control it. vessel.
Of course, it must be three hundred experienced sailors.
Two hours later, a white crater appeared in front of the Death Star. The violent storm also stopped at this moment, revealing the setting sun.
For the Death Omen Star, it takes 24 hours for an ordinary ship to reach it. It departs in the morning and arrives in the evening.
"Volcano. Is it white snow?"
Lily walked out of the banquet hall, stood on the deck and stretched out her hand, letting the snowflakes falling from the sky fall on her palm. She looked up and said, "Winter? No. The island climate is a mixture of autumn and winter. No wonder it is fertile soil."
In addition to volcanic ash, this snow can also grow land.
It is indeed an island with high food production.
"Go ahead at full speed." Lily said to her men who came out of the cabin: "Sag will have dinner there tonight, so don't delay."
"Yes! Lady Lily!"
The men took up their positions, raised the sails, pulled the ropes, steered the ship, and accelerated towards the island that could already be seen.
On such a small island, there is no need for Sagar to take action. She can handle it alone.
The Death Star quickly docked at the landing site, and a group of pirates quickly jumped off and rushed towards the town not far ahead.
Around that town, there were golden wheat fields, glowing in the setting sun, and the ears of wheat were moved by the wind, like golden waves.
Some civilians were bending down to harvest wheat, and then they saw smoke and dust appearing in front of them, and a group of pirates roared towards this direction.
"Sea, sea, pirate?!"
A middle-aged man let go of his hand and dropped his sickle to the ground. He exclaimed and subconsciously wanted to run back, but because he was too frightened, he fell to the ground instead. He could only watch in despair as the pirate rushed quickly. Come.
Then rushed past him.
The pirates ignored these people at all. After attacking the town, they headed straight for the largest manor in the center of the town.
Although they are all new members, there are still some pirates who understand the rules, such as Barnaby who surrendered before.
He understood what Sargar's rules were. Most pirates lead the new with the old. Barnaby had already become familiar with the new guys and made them remember Sargar's rules.
There was nothing I could do, not even remember it. There was no one in Fort Augustine who wanted to bully the civilians. But as soon as he started, he didn't have to wait until the next day. Two hours after the incident, Ajin led someone to hang him alive. He died and his body is still hanging in the central square.
Anyone who doesn't obey the captain's orders will of course be executed.
Fortunately, it was Captain Ajin. It would have been even scarier if he had met that little devil with black eyes.
At the city gate, there are still a few skins that have been peeled off, ribs lifted from the back, and corpses like **** wings are kneeling there.
I heard it was called the Blood Eagle Punishment. It was an old tradition many years ago. Today's pirates may not remember it. I don't know where they found it from, but the effect is remarkable and scary.
boom!
Just after the first group of pirates entered the manor, there was a muffled sound inside the manor, and a dozen pirates flew out and fell in front of the pirates behind.
"Pirates! And Andre!"
A fat guy with a big belly and wearing furs came out. The first thing he saw was Andre in the crowd, "How dare you betray me and introduce pirates, you hateful guy!"
"You did it wrong!"
Andre was a little scared at first, but when he saw so many people around him, he frowned and said:
"What you did is not right at all. What have you done all these years! I made so much money for you, and there is so much food here, but in the end, Jenny starved to death by you!"
"You didn't treat her parents when they were sick, and even the little girl starved to death. You obviously have so much food and so much money! I tried to persuade you, but you didn't listen at all! We are all here for you If you don't care about the work, then let's change the master!”
If there is plenty of food, will we definitely be able to eat enough?
This guy would rather the food spoil and fall into the sea than give them a bite to eat!
Just because they don't have money to buy it!
But those Baileys he distributed would only fall into poverty if something unexpected happened, and they would not even be able to afford food.
This was three years ago, and since then, Andre has suffered from a severe phobia of money.
He didn't want that to happen to him.
"It seems that I am too tolerant of you."
The mayor's body began to swell at this moment, "Do you think you can defeat me by bringing some pirates here? I am the strongest here. Have you forgotten how I punished you guys who protested! "
His swollen body turned gray at this moment, and two layers of tortoise shell-like bulges appeared on his body. His original height of about two meters suddenly increased to about five meters.
Like a turtle?
"I ate the turtle fruit, the ancient species, and the original snapping turtle."
laugh!
Before he could finish speaking, a black light streaked through the air like thunder, cutting a deep ravine in his chest, and blood spurted out like a fountain. His body shook, and he wanted to turn around, but at this moment, his eyes It turned over and fell to the ground.
"Those who can?"
Lily swung the makeshift scimitar and shook out the blood on the blade. After a glance, she turned around and said, "Sarge, do you want to stay?"
The crowd parted automatically, and as a cloak with a black background and red tips fluttered and swayed, Sag came over with Renedia and Marika.
"Original snapping turtle?"
Sage glanced at the mayor who had not yet returned to his human form in time, and was stunned, "Why do I look like a turtle? An ancient species? Really? Forget it, just stay. After all, he is a person with abilities. Let's look back. Who needs it?"
As he spoke, he turned around and laughed at the frightened civilians who had gathered at the gate of the town:
"From now on, this place is taken over by me, the 'Natural Disaster'! This place will be my territory from now on. The target of your allegiance is no longer the mayor, village chief, or a noble somewhere. You only need to be loyal to me." Everything belongs to me! Hahahahaha!”
Lily looked at Sage, who exuded absolute confidence, with a soft look in her eyes.
At least Sager's rule is not oppressive.
During this period, she had killed herself, as well as those reported by others. According to statistics, there were almost 10,000 nobles, large and small.
Without these people, the changes in the people of Gareth Kingdom can be seen.
Because apart from fairness, Sager has another biggest characteristic.
Two million people were oppressed by 10,000 nobles and lived a very miserable life. On average, 200 people supported one person.
But being oppressed by only one person can completely support him.
Sage will not give the right to rule to others. Except for himself, everyone has to do things.
In this case, as the territory becomes larger, the pressure to support Sage will not be pressure at all.
There is no pressure now, and it will be better in the future.
