The navy catches pirates, and the pirates rob the merchant ships of the Chamber of Commerce, and the merchants pay taxes to pay for the navy's operations. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this way, the three are closely linked together, forming a very solid triangular ecosystem on this ocean.

However, just as not all pirates are afraid of navies, some merchant ships are not afraid of the most vicious pirates at all.

This canary chamber flagship - the Nabos is a good example.

Despite the fact that this giant merchant ship looks very beautiful on the outside, when you peel back its ornate shell, you will find those sturdy ramming angles and hideous gun muzzles. To be honest, the Naboh was more like a misflagged naval warship than a merchant ship used to transport goods.

I really don't know what Lady Emily thinks, she actually spent so much Bailey to build such a "merchant ship". ”

Leaning against the railing of the Nabo, Sholaia blew the cool sea breeze and glanced at the eternal hands on his wrist.

"It's almost a day's journey to Hannabal, and I don't know how Adele is doing these days. ”

Thinking of his own sister who recognised him after 8 years of absence, this young man wearing a jazz hat couldn't help but show a warm smile.

After following the advice of Lieutenant General Siso, Sholea took his sister Adele to Hannabal, intending to start a new life here.

With his reputation and excellent sailing skills over the years, this former [Pirate Executioner] was hired by Lady Emily, the president of the Canary Chamber of Commerce, and became a leader of the Chamber of Commerce's escort team, but also had a well-paid and stable job.

Compared to the previous years when his mind was full of revenge, Sholaya prefers the current life.

It's easy and it's fun.

"By the way, that bastard of Gaspardi didn't accept the so-called "just trial" of the Navy in the end......"

At the mention of the navy scum who had a blood feud with him, Xiao Laiya's face couldn't help but change to look ugly.

After Gaspardi was captured by Lieutenant General Hisoka, Sholaya begged the Golden Shura to let him kill his enemies with his own hands, but the latter refused.

Later, when the Sand Crocodile attacked the G-17 fortress, Gaspardi was released by Klockdahl, and then fought the Straw Hats in Albana, where he was killed by the Sorcerer's Killer Gun.

(Sorcerer...... I heard from the grapevine that he killed the 95 million Bailey pirate in seconds with just one blow, hiss-what a terrible guy~)

(It's a bit of a shame that I didn't get revenge myself, but I still have to thank him, well, if I can meet him.) ）

Perhaps thinking that this idea was a little unrealistic, Xiao Laiya chuckled and shook his head.

After all, this ocean is too vast, and it is not easy to meet.

"Boss Sholea!

Here, a sailor stood on a lookout at the top of the Nabbo mast and shouted below, "A pirate ship has appeared directly in front of us!"

"Pirates?"

Xiao Laiya's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Then do they have penguin flags on their pirate ships?"

"No, they're not registered pirates of Hannabal. ”

The sailor held up the high-powered telescope and looked at it for a while: "And their pirate flag is very unfamiliar, it is a skeleton wearing a straw hat, it is estimated that it is the first time to come to this sea area." ”

"That's right. Xiao Laiya breathed a sigh of relief: "Then as long as they don't attack us, don't leave them alone...... Wait, what did you just say? Skeleton in a straw hat???"

Rumble!!!!

Just as Shoraia suddenly realized something, a deafening cannon sound came from the Nabo's main cannon.

"I wipe ......"

(Who set off the cannon? Could it be Nabo's bear kid again!)

A gust of wind blew Sholaya's hat away, but he stood there like a wooden man.

If the other party is really the Straw Hat Pirates he knows, then this cannon is not as simple as stabbing a hornet's nest.

(Gotta report Lady Emily!)

…………

On the other side, the Straw Hats were drenched in the splash of the shells.

"It's really accurate. ”

Robin visually measured the distance between the Merry and the white merchant ship, and analyzed calmly: "If it weren't for the limit distance of the artillery, I'm afraid we would have been hit, hehe, their gunners are very powerful." ”

Sauron didn't say a word, just silently pulled out his turban and tied it around his head.

"There's a kind!" Sanji loosened his tie and lit a cigarette.

"They're probably declaring war, it's funny, it's the first time I've heard of a merchant ship that actively attacked pirates."

Sherlock looked at Luffy and smiled while gently wiping the lenses of his baby's glasses with a silk scarf; What do you think we should do now? ”

"Ah, though I don't know why they're attacking us......"

The dead cargo captain put on his straw hat and moved his wrist joints, his eyebrows filled with high fighting spirit.

"But if they want to fight, we'll be there for them!"

The four strongest fighters in the Straw Hat Pirates stood together, their fighting intent burning like a raging fire.

"Go for it! Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Sherlock. ”

"We'll be back on your feet!"

"Come on!"

"Hey ......" X2

Looking at the timid trio who hid in the rear and shouted at the flag without knowing when, Zoro and Sanji suddenly had black lines on their faces.

"But don't you think it's a little strange?"

Robin rubbed his smooth chin, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his blue and black eyes: "Why did they suddenly quiet down after firing a shot?"

Hearing this, Nami and the others were stunned, but before they could think about it, the Straw Hats saw an even more unbelievable scene.

I saw that the white merchant ship, which was not too far away from the Merry, slowly lowered the flag with the canary on it, put away the sails, and stayed in place.

"What is this ship doing? Why is it parked where it is?" Usopp wondered.

"Could it be ......" The orange-haired navigator covered his mouth in surprise after a moment's thought.

"Well, they're surrendering. ”

Putting the silver-rimmed glasses back on, Sherlock gently pushed the glasses, and said with a subtle expression: "Lowering the flag and closing the sails, this is the standard routine for merchant ships to surrender after being robbed by pirates, and then in order to show their sincerity, the captain of that ship will come to the Merry as a hostage to discuss the ransom with us." ”

"Haa????" XN

Everyone was collectively stunned, especially Zoro and Sanji, who were ready to fight, and they were as powerless as punching into the air.

"Ransom?" The greedy navigator who heard these two words had already entered a state of wealth obsession.

"Whoahahaha! Sure enough, they took the name of my Captain Usopp, so they surrendered in fright!"

Chopper's body shook: "Oh, really, Usopp is amazing!"

"Surrender? Why surrender? We didn't want to rob that merchant ship?" said Luffy, digging his nose in confusion.

To be precise, this one who is full of tendons to be the king of the pirates has no idea of robbing merchant ships at all, and it is simply a clear stream in the pirate world.

"I guess they misunderstood. Robin smiled.

"But even if it's a misunderstanding, this should be the first robbery of our pirates, right?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say at this time.

First, I met a merchant ship inexplicably.

Then he was inexplicably shot.

As a result, the merchant ship surrendered inexplicably?

Hehe, this is all some inexplicable god unfolding!
