The nearest island to the gravity island is called Elu Island, from the sky above the island, the shape is round, there is a huge moat on the island, almost half of the island, the huge long moat in the shape of "man" to split the eastern half of the island in half, and under the perennial waves, this moat has become a sheltered port suitable for ships to dock near the shore.

Over the past year or so, merchant ships have been coming and going to this island more and more frequently, if in the past, most merchant ships would only come once every six months, but now it is not the same as before, and the time is half a month to a month, and you will definitely see those merchant ships carrying goods.

Since the island had enough hard currency, the locals began to buy the flannel linen clothes and new farm tools that had been hoarded by foreign merchants.

Just half a month ago, the village chief of Elu Village bought a batch of rice seeds that were easy to survive and had a high yield, and distributed them to the villagers below, for which he also paid a lot of baili.

But whether it is a local villager or a businessman who travels thousands of miles, they all smile at the conclusion of the business.

But no one would have thought that the reason why this not rich and somewhat remote land could gradually develop was because of the arrival of a group of foreign pirates.

Talo, a fisherman, is an authentic aborigine, he owns a small thatched hut near the harbor, compared to the surrounding fishermen, he is one of the more outstanding, net-making, fishing, drying nets, and selling sea fish to the fishmongers on the island, he is young and moves much neater than other peers.

As such, he was also entrusted with the task of being one of the few scouts on the island, and in the event of any strange stranger on the shore, he had to put down his work and inform the village chief.

If it had been a year ago, he would have been unable to help the panic and deep fear in his heart once a pirate ship approached, but now, he was looking forward to the arrival of the pirate ship with the red-nosed skull sail flag painted on it.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Tharlo watched as the dark shadow in the sea fog in the distance gradually transformed into a pirate ship, a heartfelt smile on his face, and he raised his hand and waved it on the shore.

The pirate ship headed for the harbor, anchored, and a dozen or so pirates walked down the ship, laughing and laughing, carrying a few sturdy sacks behind them.

The sack contained some gold utensils, ornaments, and glittering jewels.

He knew that the pirates would then trade with the village chief, using the gold and jewels to buy rice wine, fresh water, and food in the village, and that the excess price difference would be used to buy other supplies on the island, or to hold a celebratory banquet on the island.

These pirates had never plundered their village since they had begun more than a year ago, and each time they had spoken amicably, like the elegant gentlemen of storybooks, at least that's what Tharlo thought.

Not only that, but several pirates in their forties also moved here with the consent of the village chief, and their years of pirate life have made them more physically energetic than the farmers on the island, and they are more skilled in hunting wild beasts, because of their arrival, last year's harvest and the number of wild beasts hunted were half higher than in previous years.

"It's good to be a pirate...... "Tharlo watched a few "new islanders" and the pirates of the Rednose Pirates chatting casually, and sincerely envied, he also wanted to be a great pirate, sail freely on the magnificent sea, and return to the island when he was old, and share the vastness and interesting stories of the sea with everyone.

"Tharlo." The older fisherman on the side patted him on the shoulder and said in a joking tone, "These pirates are a group of pirates like no other!" Ask and ask, and maybe they'll take you as a young boy! ”

Tharlo just smiled, he wasn't sure if he would dare to be a real pirate, but even if he couldn't achieve it, with a dream in his heart, the future would be more or less vibrant, not lifeless.

Most of the young people on the island thought the same way, and this group of foreign pirates gave them a lot of beautiful reverie...... For example, wealth and freedom.

……

To the southwest of the island, a naval warship slowly sailed towards the island of Ero, passing through the dense fog of the sea, and the faces of the three naval officers standing on the bow deck of the ship were revealed.

The soldier standing to the left of the leading officer respectfully reported: "Colonel Mouse, in half an hour we will be able to reach the island of Elu." ”

"Squeak-" Colonel Rat let out a strange laugh and looked rather pleasant, "huh...... According to the informant's intelligence, the Bucky Pirates have been in deep contact with Elu Island for more than a year, and it is not surprising that they will also appear on this island today, tsk, this group of pirates who have done all kinds of evil have disappeared for so long, it seems that they want to retreat, but it's a pity......"

He took out a bounty list, looked at it disdainfully, then let go of his hand, stepped on the bounty sheet on the soles of his feet and ravaged it fiercely, "It's too naïve to do so many bad things and want to wash your hands in a golden basin." ”

The sergeant standing to the right of Colonel Rat asked in a low voice with a hint of concern, "Lord Colonel, the leader of the Bucky Pirates, Bucky, is a sea pirate with 10 million Baileys, why should we provoke him......

Colonel Rat squeaked and laughed: "Sir, thanks to you following me for so many years, your brain has not grown at all." ”

"Lord Colonel, I don't understand it yet...... he is a henchman of Colonel Mouse, who followed all the way from the Great Voyage to the East China Sea, and with the support of Mouse, he was promoted from a miscellaneous soldier to a sergeant in just a few years.

"If you do things with your brains, you don't have to go to Aaron every time to get some taxes, I will do it myself, it seems that I still have to teach you something." Colonel Rat snickered sinisterly, "It's because he's a pirate of the Ten Million Bailey that we need to take his head......"

His two mouse-like eyes narrowed slightly: "Actually, although I try my best to hide it, the rumors will always leak, and some clowns in the headquarters have raised objections to me, but there is no way to do it, Aaron has established a huge 'empire' openly within my jurisdiction, and even the white hunter in Rogue Town knows about it, and he is very dissatisfied......"

"Of course, in addition to the protection of Ah Long himself and the fish-man in the Seven Martial Seas, there are also people above me who help me suppress this matter, but this is not enough, I must come up with some visible military merits to maintain my status, even if the ordinary little pirates catch ten, a hundred, a thousand, it will be useless......

And there are only a few pirates in the East China Sea, and I naturally can't make a move on Ah Long, a stinky fish man, after all, he can bring me too many benefits, and as for Admiral Klick, that tricky bastard, I won't ask for trouble......"

"If you think about it this way......" the mouse squeaked, "Isn't this Bucky Pirate who doesn't move like a target exactly the prey that I sent to my door, and if I take out such a human head that far exceeds the average of three million bounties in the East China Sea, there should be nothing to say about the headquarters." ”

"I know......," the sergeant on the side came to his senses, "The pirates of the Bucky Pirates are said to be less than fifty people, even if the captain is 10 million pirates, it is impossible to defeat the five hundred soldiers and sophisticated equipment and weapons on our warship!" ”

"Squeak, how many of us...... But ten times as many as them! ”
