One Piece’S Scarlet Swordsman

Thalia Island, in a spacious courtyard.

"Huh~huh~"

A man with naked torso held a nearly two-meter-long Taito in his hand and kept waving.

With every wave, a breeze blows, lifting up dust and leaves on the ground.

"Captain, news from the outside."

Lanlot was practicing in his yard, and suddenly, a subordinate ran from the corridor inside the yard and shouted to him.

"Huh!"

Lanrot stopped, and a gust of wind swept through, seeing his subordinates throat pulsing.

"what's up?"

Lanrot asked with his back to his subordinates.

"Uh, there is a notification from the outer police post that the Pirates of Spades is here, shall we..."

The pirate's subordinate bowed to him and asked him respectfully.

"The Pirates of Spades?"

Lanrot frowned, turned and walked towards his men, asking as they walked.

"Does their captain have a D in the name?"

Seeing Lanrot coming towards him, the subordinates immediately stood up straight and nodded in response.

"Yes, Captain."

"His name is Portgas·D·Ace, the super rookie pirate who has recently skyrocketed in fame."

"Strong strength."

After speaking, he handed the reward order of Ace in his hand to Lanrot. Lanrot took the reward order, looked at the boy in the photo, and fell into contemplation.

After a while, he said.

"Did they have any changes?"

"No, just like an ordinary merchant ship, it sailed all the way and was in peace with the other pirate groups."

"Don't act rashly, I'll go touch it."

"Hi."

Lanlot's pirate group has always been in charge of the outer guard of Thalia Island, and all the ships passing by must go through his investigation.

Under the Scarlet Pirate Group, as long as it is the core elite resident in the base camp, the mayor of Thalia has allocated a villa for them to rest and practice.

According to their status, they are also divided into single-family, double-row, stacked, with gardens and yards, and yards without gardens.

A special hotel chef is arranged every day to prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc.

Compared with other pirate groups stationed outside, the treatment is completely different.

When Lanrot's men notified him, the ship of the Pirates of Spades had arrived at the port of Thalia.

Thalia Island, as the base camp of the Scarlet Pirates, has a tendency to become one of the most prosperous island cities in New World after a long period of development.

In the world, the captain of the Scarlet Pirates, Gulante, killed countless people, cold-blooded and ruthless, and was an extremely cruel Pirate Emperor.

But in fact, in the islands and countries ruled by the Scarlet Pirates in New World, the credibility of the Scarlet Pirates even surpasses that of Marine.

All national caravans, merchant ships, and trading ships that enter the waters of the Scarlet Pirate Group will not be attacked by the pirates, and will even be protected.

The reason is that as long as in the territory of the Scarlet Pirates, a part of the monthly profit from the transaction is paid to the Scarlet Pirates as taxes and fees in the name of an individual or the country.

Not only trade, but also different taxes and fees will be levied on different main businesses in the city.

Just like a country, according to different industries and different main business income, different tax rates and different scales are customized for taxation.

And the pirate groups under the Scarlet Pirate Group have the responsibility to protect the trading ships.

This is the rule made by Gulant, as long as they are in the territory of the Scarlet Pirates, anyone must abide by it.

For the rest of the pirate ships entering the territory of the Scarlet Pirates, as long as they abide by the rules of the Scarlet Pirates, they will all be in peace.

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this to run smoothly is based on the strong strength of Gurant.

The territory of the Scarlet Pirates is the safest place in the hearts of many ordinary people in New World.

Therefore, after Ace and his party entered the territory of the Scarlet Pirates, they could reach Thalia Island so smoothly.

When they landed on Thalia Island, they found that there was a prosperous place far less than other islands.

Unlike other countries or island towns on the sea, Thalia's scale has grown over a long period of time, and almost half of the islands are covered by cities.

Standing on the bow, you can see the high-rise buildings in the city, or star hotels, or city landmarks from a distance.

There are faint shadows of modern cities.

And all of this was changed after the mayor of Gurantjeantalia, went to the entertainment city "Grand Tesoro" of Tezolo.

Gurant told him that if he couldn't do it, he would replace him.

…

…

…

In the port of Thalia, dozens of merchant ships or cargo ships stay at the pier, and there are countless containers on the pier.

Countless laborers and pedestrians shuttled among them.

Ace and his group stepped onto the pier, looking at the huge and busy pier, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh~ so big!!!"

People pass by them from time to time, and from time to time there are suits and leather shoes on ships in the port, and a businessman dressed as a successful person stepped onto the pier to communicate with the people who came with them.

Ace and his group wandered along the pier and finally found a avenue, leaving the port along both sides of the avenue and entering the city.

"Didi~"

Suddenly, a "monster" making a weird noise attracted their attention and turned his head to look.

It turned out to be a car driving on the avenue with only two seats on it, with a man and a woman seated respectively.

"what is that?"

Someone in Ace's group was puzzled.

"It's so convenient, you don't have to walk by yourself."

Ace also exclaimed with a strange expression on his face.

The group of people walked along the avenue all the way, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden and saw many new and strange things that they had never seen before.

For a while, they actually forgot their purpose here.

"Brother, I haven't seen you."

Suddenly, when they passed a fruit shop, the owner of the fruit shop spoke to them.

"Is this the first time in Thalia Island?"

The owner of the fruit shop is an old man with gray hair, wearing an Arabian hat, a towel around his neck and sandals on his feet.

Picking up a colorful exotic fruit, smiled at Ace and his group.

"Look, do you want to try it, this is a colorful apple imported from the Kingdom of Chennis."

Ace and others were attracted by the fruit and stopped in front of his fruit shop.

"Oh~ There is such a beautiful fruit, I have never seen it before."

Ace looked at the fruit in the boss's hand, surprised.

The fruit shopkeeper saw that he was interested and that he was a young man, waved to him, motioned for him to lean over, looked around, and whispered softly.

"Actually, this is actually an ultra-rare and precious fruit specially offered by the royal family of King Chenis."

"I heard that as long as you eat one bite, you will never forget that kind of delicacy for the rest of your life."

Seeing the surprised expression on Ace's and his party's faces again, the boss continued to proudly said.

"It's more than that, as long as you eat a colorful apple, you can live another hundred years."

"If you buy it now, I will give you a special discount. You can buy one for as long as one hundred thousand Baileys."

Just as the boss just finished speaking, a soft voice came from the side.

"One Hundred Thousand Baileys?"

"That can buy your fruit shop and there is still room."

An ordinary young man walked over, blinked at Ace and his group, and smiled.

"Don't be fooled by him. It is indeed the fruit imported from the Kingdom of Chenis, but it is not a special fruit, just ordinary fruit."

"This city is everywhere. One hundred thousand Bailey can eat you to the hospital."

Ace smiled, looked at the fruit shopkeeper, pressed his hat, and smiled.

"Sorry, boss."

"I'm not interested in being able to live more than a hundred years, as long as I can live well today."

Then he led a group of people away in the boss's dismayed gaze, turned his head to look at the young man who had broken his good deeds, and snorted uncomfortably.
