Chapter 19: The Thieves Are Coming
PS: Anyway, I really want to change jobs to 2K...... Although this chapter is still 3k......
Body:
The Chambord Islands, also known as the Bubble Islands. The Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is located in the middle of the Great Shipping Route, before the Red Earth Continent. And geographically, the Chambord Islands divide the great route into two parts—the first half of the paradise, and the second half of the new world. The legendary Great Secret Treasure is said to be hidden at the end of the New World.
However, in Krokdal's view, this place is not so much an island as a multitude of trees that have taken root here. There are 79 large trees in total, and the roots of each tree extend out, making it look like a separate island. This is where the name of the archipelago comes from.
Walking along the street, you can see tree roots sticking out of the water everywhere. Where the roots of these trees converge, the thick trunks stand straight and straight, and the numbers written on them are the marks of the island.
At this time, Crockdale was in GR 52, the area of the Chambord Islands that was planned as a shipyard.
After landing in the Chambord Islands with the Princess Anne, they moved the ship to the shipyard here for renovation. After all, there are only two ways to get to the New World through the Chambord Islands, either apply to the Navy and enter the New World through the Holy Land of Mary Joy, or coat the ship and dive through a passage 10,000 meters below the bottom of the sea.
When he was once a Seven Martial Sea, Crockdahl could naturally find the navy to "borrow", but in his current situation, there was actually only a second way to choose.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the specialty of the Chambord Islands - bubbles. Bubbles are constantly popping up from the ground and dotting the island, hence the name Bubble Island.
The bubbles here look like soap bubbles on the outside, but they are actually formed by resin secreted by the roots of the trees here due to respiration. Therefore, as long as these bubbles do not rise into the sky, not only will they not break, but they will have extraordinary resilience. Moreover, these bubbles also have the advantages of waterproof, breathable, lightweight, etc., and are widely used by the residents here in their lives. For example, bubble cars, bubble houses, bubble amusement parks, etc......
The so-called coating of ships is actually the coaters, with their superb craftsmanship to wrap a thick layer of bubbles on the ship. After coating, the ship can sail underwater like a submarine. And what's even more amazing is that because of the characteristics of bubbles, it can filter the air, ignore water pressure and so on. This is more than a step above a simple submarine. The only pity is that bubbles only exist near the waters of the Chambord Islands. Once you leave the special climate here, or rise into the sky, the bubbles will burst automatically.
Crockdahl is a well-informed person, and in his memory, as well as the body itself, knows the Chambord Islands very well, and he has not even been here again. But after crossing this nonsense, it was the first time to come here. It's like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, which has a dreamlike feeling.
Speaking of which, Crockdahl is not quite sure whether his current situation is really crossed. Or is it that he just gained a memory of another world, and then fused it into his soul?
Because he found that he had become more and more indifferent to his life in that world, and he couldn't even recall his original life experience. Similarly, in this world, the memory of being a person named "Crockdahl" has also appeared a part of confusion and blankness.
This is likely to be a side effect of soul fusion, and the most intuitive manifestation is his changeable personality. Sometimes it's gloomy and scary, sometimes it's childish, and it can even be called a ...... How do you say that word, comics?
Crockdahl rubbed his temples, seemingly distracted again. And every time he wanted to think about the memories of the past, there was always a feeling of drowsiness, as if something was preventing him from searching.
Thinking about it, Crockdahl tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the smile on his face was indescribably weird. Is this a disgrace to the revolutionary ancestors who have crossed over?
But ah, I really should say that-
"What about the long-lost Chambord Islands, in every sense of the word. ”
……
As we all know, the Great Shipping Route is a long and narrow route separated by the Red Earth Continent and the windless belt. But from a bird's-eye view, this route is somewhat similar to an hourglass.
There is no wind band on both sides, which is the column of the hourglass. Separated by a thin neck in the middle of the hourglass, it is the paradise and the new world of the great voyage. And the sand that keeps leaking is the ships that break into the New World.
The people of the first half of the Great Voyage, regardless of the route, would gather at the Chambord Islands, and then, after a short rest, set sail again. Therefore, this has also earned the Chambord Islands a reputation as the "island of restart".
This used to be the case, but since the advent of the Age of the Sea Pirates, the situation has changed dramatically......
If the Great Passage is like a huge survival knockout, then the pirates who flock in from all entrances are the challengers to participate in this brutal competition.
The people who can pass the challenges of each channel and finally reach the Chambord Islands are all pirate elites who have been screened by the waves and sands. And among these pirate elites, it is likely that one person will grow into a pirate who is enough to lead the new era and become a big man who will give the navy a headache.
The reason why the New World will be divided by the Four Emperors is precisely for this reason. And the red-haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, is also the leader who stands out from this road.
As a result, the Chambord Islands became a place of naval surveillance. In order to prevent the pirate power from growing bigger, the navy can only choose to tightly choke the thin neck in the middle of the hourglass. Even if this is done, there is actually no way to shake the power and influence of the Four Emperors in the new world, but in a certain sense, it has maintained the stability of the new world.
It's like there's a huge pebble blocking it, and no matter how much sand you have, it won't be in vain if you can't pass through the stone blockade and flow into the new world. Unless the sand is extremely agile and swift enough to bypass the stone and leak down, or strong enough to chisel through the stone. Otherwise, the new world will not be yours.
From that day on, countless pirates were intercepted in the Chambord Islands and had to return. It's been many years, and no new person has been able to pass through this place and enter the new world......
After this happened, over time, it gave the Chambord Islands another name: the island of losers.
However, this newly acquired designation, instead of stopping the arrival of the pirates, attracted more and more people to flock to it. But anyone with ambition wants to give it a try. While there is a high probability of failure, what if it succeeds?
As long as you can enter the new world, it is the biggest improvement in reputation. And fame, wealth, power, aren't they the things people crave?
Even One Piece Roger, didn't he all use this as a guide and leave a sentence? And this sentence, the big secret treasure "onepiece" that cannot be determined to be authentic, is not also the prelude to the era of pirates?
So from that same day on, the Chambord Islands, the island that guards the entrance to the New World, became more and more lively. As if igniting the flames of battle, more and more pirates flocked to the Chambord Islands to challenge this "impossible" route. And after countless failures, there are many more who follow suit......
In particular, it is very difficult to enter the new world from here, but it is not impossible!
Isn't the closest to now, the newly "Thor" Anilu, who has recently become the Seven Martial Seas, succeed?
This is the most vivid and powerful example!
At the same time, this thing is like the most fragrant bait in front of you, constantly sending out the hint that "I am really delicious, as long as I reach out and grab it".
Against this backdrop, it seems that stimulated by the Anilu incident, the pirates in the first half of the Great Voyage once again swarmed in. Whether it's for their dreams or ambitions, they've all gathered here. The Chambord Islands really have the feeling of a gathering place. And among these people, there are many sea thieves with hundreds of millions of bounties on their backs.
If every sea pirate corresponds to a starry morning, then the Chambord Islands at this time must be starry!
Needless to say, Crockdahl, and the "Hades" Reilly, who lives in seclusion, doesn't need to say much. But in comparison, it is the guys known as the "Supernova Eleven" who are even more dazzling.
Although the Chambord Islands are a place where the navy is stationed, they also have their own rules, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are unspoken rules. The so-called self-respect of raising thieves, if the pirates are all eliminated, there is naturally no need for the navy to exist, so although this is a place to cut off the pirates from going to the new world, it is also a laissez-faire for the pirates on the other hand. As long as it's not too noisy, there won't be much of a problem, especially in areas 1 to 29, which are called places that can't be bothered. Here, no one will interfere in whatever you do.
At this time, the pirates entrenched in the Chambord Islands are led by these supernovas.
The pirates who can be called "supernovas" must be the ones who won a bounty of over 100 million in the first year of their debut.
The supernovas of the previous generation were "Fire Fist" Ace and "Pirate Nobleman" Cavendis. Although there are only two of them, and Ace is facing execution by the Navy, they have undoubtedly become famous figures. This also shows the gold content of the evaluation of supernova.
Supernova is not every year, and it is only when a new person with enough potential emerges that it is called so. But this generation of supernovae is like a blowout, emerging one after another. Even if you exclude Anilu, who has become the "Seven Martial Seas", there are still eleven people......
In the news circulating in private, people even refer to this group of newcomers as the "extremely evil generation"!
Now, the Chambord Islands have been invaded, and the supernovas have converged as if fate had planned it. Under the calm Chambord Islands, there is already an undercurrent. If these newcomers are allowed to pour into the new world, it will inevitably bring new waves to the new world that is gradually stabilizing.
