Chapter 51: Notoriety

Leviathan is also known as the City of Daytime.

But in reality, the name of the Daylight City has nothing to do with King Ahab on the top of Leviathan Island.

It originated from the city of Dick, the only city under the rule of the kingdom of Ahab.

It is also a thriving city located "inside the whale's mouth" on Leviathan Island.

Because Dick City is located in the belly of the island, it is nicknamed "Cave City".

The masted boat on which Maud and his party were riding sailed into the great harbor.

Unlike the dim environment imagined, the space in the belly of this island is as bright as day.

On the roof of the cave in the rock formation in the belly of the island, vine-like branches as thick as pillars hang down.

On each branch, there are a number of balls of light hanging from each branch.

These balls of light are no different in size from basketballs, but they are numerous.

It is precisely because of the soft light emitted from these spheres of light that the belly of the island is as bright as day.

Shrouded in the soft light, the mast ship crashed into the calm waters of the harbor.

The ripples of the sea that cut from the sides of the keel on the bottom of the boat shone with brilliant points of light.

Bailey leaned over the railing, curiously observing the sparkling waves on the sea.

Maude and the others looked up at the ball of light vines above the belly of the island.

The bright light covering the body is not only not dazzling, but even like the sun, it can bring a little warmth to the skin.

"What a magical plant ......"

Maud thought to herself.

With the presence of such a transcendent plant, it is no wonder that a thriving city can be built in the heart of the Leviathan.

Jia Ya looked at those light ball vines, raised her finger to her chin, and said to herself, "I don't know what it tastes like, and whether it can be used as an ingredient." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing the whisper, Maude couldn't help but glance at Jaya.

Those light ball vines are obviously the lifeblood of Dick City, and there is a high probability that they will not be easily touched by outsiders.

In a short time, the mast ship arrived at the mooring place provided by Dick City for foreign ships.

It is located on the left side of the harbor, and there are about fifty or sixty ships of various sizes moored.

Among them, there are as many as 20 pirate ships alone.

Being able to allow pirates to enter and leave Dick City freely is also one of the characteristics of the Kingdom of Ahab on Leviathan Island.

For the country and its people, the frequent pirates can bring chaos as well as income.

As a result, Thomas's shipyard, whose customers are mainly pirates, can become the tax giant of the Ahab Kingdom, and can pay a staggering amount of taxes to the Ahab Kingdom every year.

As for what the pirates will do in Dick City, as long as they hide in the gutter, the greedy king who lives on the head of the whale will only turn a blind eye.

But if it goes too far, the army of the kingdom of Ahab will not be polite.

After the mast boat docked, Maud and several people disembarked one after another.

Before disembarking, Maud had packed all the funds on board.

A rough calculation shows that it is about 600 million.

With this amount of money, even if Thomas Shipyard is notoriously ruthless, it is enough for Maud to change them to a top-notch ship.

The dock was originally full of people, but as Maude and the others got off the boat, it gradually quieted down.

"It's the Maude Pirates......"

The people around them all looked at Maude and the others with different expressions.

Their eyes were mostly focused on Maude.

Because of the massacre on Twin Islands, in the eyes of others, Maude has become an unreasonable murderer.

Maud ignored the gaze from around her and looked up at her surroundings to find out where Thomas's shipyard was located.

In general, shipyards are located in ports or near water.

But after a few glances, Maud didn't see a shipyard-like building.

"Let's find someone to ask."

Maud muttered to herself, looking at the crowd around her.

At a glance, he caught a glimpse of a large bearded man with a strong presence in the crowd, and he walked towards the big man.

"Mom!"

When the big man saw Maude staring at him, his body trembled, and he turned around and ran.

β€œοΌŸοΌŸοΌŸβ€

Maude looked at the bearded man who had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

What's going on?

Confused, Maude turned to look at a beautiful woman nearby.

"Ah!!h

After the woman's gaze met Maude's, she first screamed, then lifted the corner of her skirt, and ran away.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Maude's eyelids jumped.

Didn't you just want to ask for directions, as for it?

Confused, Maude could only look at the others.

however

He glanced around, and in less than ten seconds, the crowd dispersed.

In a huge area, only Maud and the others remained.

"What's going on?"

Maud was stunned.

"Ho-ho."

Lafayette could probably guess what was going on, and after chuckling, he said seriously: "Our captain is now notorious. ”

"This ......"

Maud was powerless to refute.

This pier, which is reserved for foreign ships, is only a part of the harbor of Dicktown.

Originally, people came and went, and it was quite lively.

Now there was no figure to be seen, but there were a few more shoes on the ground that had fallen from someone else.

"Forget it, let's go to the city."

Maud shook her head slightly.

He just wanted to ask for directions, and he never thought that it would be like this after a glance.

Maud led the way.

Behind them, Jaya and the others looked at the back of their captain with a smile on their faces.

Maude and his party had barely walked a distance when a boy came out from behind a warehouse on the side of the road and stopped Maude and the others alone.

The boy had a small head, several stains on his face and clothes, and when he opened his mouth, the two notches on his teeth were very conspicuous.

After stopping Maude and the others, the toothless boy pulled out a small notebook with folded pages from his satchel.

"Sir, I have here a tourist brochure for Dick City, and if you are willing to buy it, I think it will help you a lot."

The boy looked calm, however, his legs were swinging.

I don't know if it's nervous or scared.

Maud looked at the boy in front of him with interest.

He wanted to ask for directions just now, but he somehow persuaded a group of people to retreat.

On the contrary, this boy, who looked only eight or nine years old, had the courage to stand in front of him.

"Got a map?"

"Yes!"

"How much?"

"A thousand Baileys!"

When Maude heard this, he directly took out a thousand Baileys and bought the so-called tourist brochure.

The toothless boy accepted the money, but instead of leaving, he watched Maude open the tourist brochure.

"What? Anything else? ”

Maud opened the brochure and looked down at the toothless boy.

The toothless boy's legs were still swinging, and he pretended to be calm: "If you are not satisfied with the 'tourist brochure', I can handle the return for you immediately." ”

This one-glance remark in the tone of an adult made Maude laugh.

On the other hand, Jia Ya and they are the same, they just think this little bean boy is a little interesting.

"Okay."

Maud nodded at the toothless boy and quickly read the manual.

To his surprise, the map in the manual was hand-drawn.

However, I can understand it.

Maud glanced at the map, and at once saw the location of Thomas's shipyard, which turned out to be in the innermost part of Dick City, which seemed to be built along the mountain wall.

"You drew this manual yourself?"

"Hmm."

The toothless boy nervously asked, "Are youβ€”are you satisfied?" ”

"It's good."

Maud put away the manual.

Seeing that Maud had no intention of returning the goods, the toothless boy breathed a sigh of relief.

Maude looked at the toothless boy and suddenly asked, "We lack a guide, are you interested?" ”

"Huh?"

The toothless boy's eyes widened.

Soon, he reacted, and without even asking for the reward, he nodded like garlic.

Maud smiled, and after a few words promised a suitable payment.

Led by the toothless boy, Maude and his party walked towards Dick City.

After Maud and the others are gone.

Many eyes in the shadows looked at their backs.

Some of these eyes have Maude's bounty warrants in their hands, some have assassination warrants, and some even hold newspapers that reported on the events on the Twin Islands some time ago.

"The Maude Pirates, they can't be here for the Devil Fruit, right?"

A man with two chains wrapped around his body, his hair and beard combed like fan blades, whispered to himself.
