Chapter 40: Whiskey Peak
After another ten days of wandering at sea, an island finally appeared in front of Zhang Xuan and the others.
"My lord, judging from the map, this should still be a starting island on the Great Passage, but it's hard to determine which one it is." Samyi took the map and said to Zhang Xuan.
Because the two of them were wandering around the sea like headless flies before, the specific location is not clear at present.
"Or the original island...... Then go up and have a look, and then find a way to get a permanent pointer, so that if you get lost in the future, you will have a way out. Zhang Xuan said.
The recording pointer needs to stay on one island for a sufficient period of time before it can record the location of the next island.
The permanent pointer, on the other hand, will always point in the direction of the target position, and will not be affected by the chaotic magnetic fields of the Great Passage.
This is just a relative reference coordinate for Zhang Xuan, who wants to take an unusual path on the great channel.
Zhang Xuan and Samyi parked the boat on the shore of the island and went straight to the island.
Soon, the two found a small town.
"Whiskey Town?"
Looking at the plaque in front of the town, Zhang Xuan frowned.
"My lord, what's wrong? Is there a problem with this town? Seeing this, Sam Yi asked.
"Well, let's be careful later, but the people inside don't do anything, so we don't have to worry, everything is under my command." Zhang Xuan commanded, then raised his feet and walked into the town.
Of course, Zhang Xuan, the name of Whiskey Town, knows that this is the first island on the Great Passage route chosen by Luffy and his gang.
On the surface, the island is a bustling town that welcomes pirates and is hospitable.
But in fact, it was one of the strongholds of the Baroque Workshop, a branch of the Baroque Workshop.
Whiskey Town is home to many bounty hunters, all of whom come for the pirates who are just starting out in the Great Passages.
As soon as they arrived at the Great Passage, many unknown pirates were captured by this group of bounty hunters for bounties.
Zhang Xuan knew about this situation, and from the moment he entered the town, he carefully observed.
The residents of the surrounding towns noticed that outsiders were coming in, and they all paid attention to it.
Although they covered it up well, under Zhang Xuan's observation, there was nothing to hide.
However, before the place started, Zhang Xuan was not ready to take the lead, he decided to eat a good meal first and trim it later.
……………………
It's approaching evening.
In a tall tower closest to the mountainside of Whisky Town, a group of townspeople who do business on the streets during the day gather here.
"The two people who came during the day, have you found out their identities?" A middle-aged man smoking a cigarette was the first to ask.
"I found out that these two people just landed on the shore in the morning, and they were driving a medium and large sea ship, but there was no pirate flag on the ship, so they didn't look like pirates." A thief-eyed guy spoke.
"Hey, hey! This time you can look away, these two guys are a big fish. The middle-aged man said, slapping the two bounty slips on the table.
"It's ......"
Looking around, it was found that it was the latest issue of the Navy's bounty list.
"Charles Cage, bounty...... 48 million? ”
When everyone saw the string of zeros on the bounty, they immediately screamed.
As for Samyi's 8 million Bailey bounty in the back, it has been automatically ignored by them.
"Hehe, the bounty of 48 million Bailey, this is a big deal, pirates who have just entered the great waterway, rarely have such a high bounty." The middle-aged man smoked a cigarette and said leisurely.
"But...... Did we deal with such a guy? Do you want to wait for the people up there...... "Someone hesitated.
The Baroque Workshop is very well structured, with only twelve groups of the strongest bounty hunters, all elite, one male and one female, with Mr. and Miss as the starting numbers.
And the bounty hunters in Whiskey Town are hundreds of millions of elders and millions of elders under the twelve.
At the end of the day, these people are just miscellaneous fish.
You know, these people can't even compare to Princess Weiwei, at least they still have code names for the elite.
However, listening to the words of the subordinate, the middle-aged man in the lead snorted.
"Wait for the people above to come, do you think we can still get the bounty of the commission?"
"This ......"
"You fools, can't we come to the dark? No matter how strong a person is, there are times when they are lax, we can find a way to let them relax their vigilance first, and then secretly sneak attack, understand? The middle-aged man said, glaring at the crowd.
"Okay, we got it."
Seeing this, the people below nodded their heads in understanding.
These billions and millions of elders actually don't have a good relationship with the code agent above, and only when the agent above dies can they be replaced.
So although they are usually very respectful to the code agent above, they will not give in when it comes to conflicts of interest.
The pirates they capture, they can get most of the bounty.
But if the people above do it, they won't even be able to drink the soup.
So after finalizing the plan, many bounty hunters quickly moved into action.
………………
Inside a restaurant in Whiskey Town.
Zhang Xuan and Samui were having dinner.
After drifting at sea for nearly such a long time, the food reserves of the two of them have long been gone, and they all rely on sea fish and soldier food pills to survive.
So after going ashore, eating and drinking is unavoidable.
And just as the two were eating, there was a sudden bustle outside the restaurant.
"What's going on? What's going on out there? Zhang Xuan heard this and said strangely.
"What do they seem to be celebrating?" Samui looked at the situation outside, and he was also a little confused.
At this time, a passing waiter heard the words and came over and said:
"Guests, today is a carnival on our island, you can also participate, there are free drinks and meals."
"Huh? So good? When Zhang Xuan heard this, he pretended to be surprised.
It's just that in my heart, I'm complaining, this is about the same number as the Straw Hat Pirates, don't these guys have any other ideas?
"Of course, today's carnival is the most important festival in our town, the grandest ......"
The waiter didn't know that Zhang Xuan had already seen through their conspiracy, and he was still desperately promoting the charm of the carnival.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuan pretended to be moved, hurriedly settled the account and ran out with Samyi.
At this time, the whole whisky town is really a lively scene, and all the residents are partying outside.
Zhang Xuan and Samyi followed the flow of people and came to the central square of the town.
Sumptuous drinks and meals are served here, and they are really free to enjoy.
Unconsciously, the residents of the surrounding towns surrounded Zhang Xuan and the two in the center......
