Chapter Seventy-Five: Ironstone Island

The Terror Trimas, as a drifting man-made island that enters the great voyage from the Western Sea, is itself magnetic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

That's why the Hearts Pirates dare to stay on the island for any amount of time without thinking about the pointer.

For the same reason, this "Ironstone Island" is not the next island corresponding to the Dreaded Trimas, but the location of the island that Lance has designated.

The planet on which the One Piece world is located is of a different structure than the Earth.

On Earth, the equator divides the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres, while the equator itself is east-west.

Of course, the equator does not exist, it is just an imaginary line.

But in the world of One Piece, whether it is the Red Earth Continent or the Great Passage, it does not run east-west or north-south, but intersects with east, west, north and south equally.

In other words, the Great Shipping Route plus the Red Earth Continent happened to form an equal "meter" with the east, west, north and south, and the compass failed on the Great Route, so there are few words about the southeast, northwest, and northwest in the Great Route.

Most of the time, people rely on the pointing of the record pointer.

If we take the course of the Great Voyage in the right direction, then the naval headquarters is in front of the right of the Chambord Islands, the Submarine Prison Advance City is in the windless zone behind the right rear of the Chambord Islands, and this so-called "Ironstone Island" is in the left rear of the Chambord Islands.

Ironstone Island is a small island with a small area, at best the size of Drum Island, but because of the abundance of iron ore here, the economy here is relatively prosperous.

Since the island is rich in iron ore, it is natural that it will also be rich in all kinds of weapons and tools, which are the by-products of iron ore.

In addition, there are many blacksmiths on the island, and there are several well-known blacksmiths on the island who often tailor weapons of this level to guests.

But that's limited to good knives.

At the level of the Great Quick Knife, there are only two master blacksmiths on the island who can build it, and it takes time and effort to have the corresponding materials.

As for the Supreme Great Knife, it can only be a legend.

Although this is an iron ore island, due to the distance from the navy and the isolation of the Magic Triangle, the naval power on this island is not strong.

Therefore, the navy also gave up the intention of directly controlling the island, and chose to support a local chamber of commerce organization, as long as it can obtain certain benefits from it, the navy will not be too involved in the internal affairs of the chamber of commerce.

And this chamber of commerce organization does not rely on the navy alone, they have transactions with the local underground organization, as well as some surrounding pirate forces, otherwise, they would not have survived unharmed until now.

Of course, Lance and the others didn't know about this information at the beginning, but when they landed and asked a little more, they basically knew everything, after all, it was not a secret.

……

The group docked the ship in the harbor of Ironstone and went their separate ways.

Leaving a few people to guard the ship with Zhao Yun, Lance and Luo and the other members all went to the island with their own goals to purchase various information and items.

With Zhao Yun's current combat effectiveness, it should be more than enough to deal with a pacifist, so as long as he is not unlucky to encounter some powerful enemies, then with Zhao Yun's strength and calm character, he can completely deal with it.

Therefore, Lance also relaxed and went deep into the towns on the island.

Lance planned to find a master blacksmith to build a spear for Zhao Yun, while Brooke, Bartolorio and other crew members were more playful, and Luo also had what he wanted to do, so the group divided into three waves in the port and entered the town separately.

Lance inquired and learned that there was a master blacksmith named "Terra" on the island who had the ability to craft large knives, but this master smith was one of the senior members of the "Ironstone Chamber of Commerce", the largest force on Ironstone Island.

The same name as Tra is a master blacksmith named "Kent", but this Kent has a more eccentric personality, refuses the invitation of the Ironstone Chamber of Commerce to cooperate, and lives alone on a hill behind the "Iron Ore Forest" on Ironstone Island.

And this Kent is not very easy-going, if you want to find him to build a weapon at the level of a big fast knife, it is not enough to pay money, not only to prepare the materials yourself, but also to get his approval.

If it was a visitor who lacked "bearing", or if the other party was not a real swordsman at all, Kent would not forge a great fast sword for him.

As for the idea that someone wants to deal with Kent with threats, that's not easy either.

Because the strength of this Kent itself is not low, if it is just a small pirate with a reward of no more than 100 million, Kent himself can deal with them; And if he steps into a pirate at the level of a sea pirate, usually no one will embarrass him, an old man.

In addition, if there are sea pirate level visitors, they can basically be recognized by Kent, because those sea thieves who are not swordsmen are basically not interested in threatening Kent to build a big fast knife for them purely for show.

Knowing this information, Lance naturally wanted to visit this Kent first.

Because as a rule of thumb, this kind of old guy with a more eccentric personality is generally slightly stronger than those "masters" in the Chamber of Commerce.

As for whether Kent will create a weapon of the "Lance" series, Lance took the initiative to ignore this issue.

Because he also needs to see the bearing of this strange forger, if it is not bad, it will not be a problem to call Zhao Yun over and let him study the forging of the spear with Kent.

With these questions in mind, Lance quickened his pace of walking and walked straight in the direction he had inquired about.

As Reims gets closer to the iron ore forest, there are more and more pedestrians on the road, because the scenery of the iron ore forest is also one of the elements that attracts many tourists.

The Iron Ore Forest is the most mineral-rich area on Ironstone Island, and it's not the iron ore that attracts tourists, but the strange trees.

It's amazing how those big trees can thrive among the solid iron ore.

Of course, these tourists are not the kind of sightseeing groups on Earth, but from various pirates, merchant forces, and some navy in civilian clothes.

And the reason why they came to the iron ore forest for "sightseeing" was just out of curiosity, not really for tourism.

It was in this ironstone forest that Lance sensed a rich "earth element" message, which was the Five Elements technique that he had obtained but had not really mastered.

And just as Lance felt this stronger elemental sense than usual, a black figure in a cloak stared at Lance not far away, and gradually stretched out his arm behind his back.
