Chapter 50: Donald's Fish-Man Island
Donald was a businessman, but not a businessman who was fixed to start an industry somewhere.
He was a maritime merchant who bought goods from one place at a low price and sold them at a high price to another.
This is a profiteering industry in Qinghai.
Due to the lack of transportation, the severe lack of communication between the islands, and the uneven distribution of resources, what is cheap on this island may be worth a lot of money on another island.
This gives traders the opportunity to earn the difference.
However, in this part of Qinghai, it is very risky to become a maritime businessman.
The sea has always been dangerous, not to mention that there are so many pirates on the sea now, and it is not uncommon for merchants to be robbed and killed by pirates.
And Donald was even a merchant who begged for a living on the Great Voyage.
The treacherous climate, unpredictable currents, and pirates far more powerful than the four seas make this a nightmare for maritime merchants.
But Donald mixes well here.
On the one hand, he has good strength, and on the other hand, no one can rob him on the route he runs long.
Donald is a merchant who always travels back and forth between Fish-Man Island and the Chambord Islands.
Buy some daily necessities and daily necessities in the Chambord Islands, and ship them to Fish-Man Island to sell them at a high price, and then buy some coral pearls that are only available under the sea on Fish-Man Island, and you can make a lot of money in the Chambord Islands.
Although it is not too profitable, it is quite a lot of money after removing the coating money.
After all, Fish-Man Island is quite close to the Chambord Islands.
If it weren't for the fact that this route was really dangerous and the death rate was so high, Donald would have been unable to tell how many of his competitors there were.
Donald doesn't care about sailing in the deep sea.
He was more afraid of running out of money than dying.
On this day, Donald once again bought a boatload of goods, and after finishing the coating, he dived straight into the deep sea, all the way to Fish-Man Island.
This route has been traveled I don't know how many times, as long as it is not for the luck of being suddenly attacked by the Sea King, Donald is confident that he will definitely not have any problems.
Indeed, this time he also successfully entered the cavity under the Red Earth Continent, and went all the way, and soon came to the area where even though it was in the deep sea, it still shone brightly.
Donald couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This time he survived again.
If you don't really like money, who wants to go back and forth on such a devil's route?
Soon, though, Donald noticed that there was a ship ahead of him.
He took out his binoculars and looked at them.
"Pirate ships?"
Donald immediately slowed down the crew.
In the distance, it was a pirate ship.
He even recognized the pirate flag by memory.
A bounty of 34 million pirates, the ship of the giant axe Sisi!
Although it is difficult for them to risk the threat of the deep sea to carry out any kind of attack, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, right?
The merchant ships deliberately lagged behind by some distance, but eventually they got closer and closer to Fish-Man Island.
And then.
"Huh?"
Donald suddenly saw a dark shadow rapidly approaching.
Then his expression changed dramatically.
That's a sea beast!
An adult sea lion with a body length of more than 50 meters!
The apex predator of the sea except for the sea kings!
Before his fear could take over his brain, he saw the sea lion's body around him againβ
"Fish people?"
There are so many fish-people surrounding the sea lions!
They wear the same uniforms!
What is the new Fish-Man Pirates?
Donald knew that there were pirates among the Fish-Man, and they were all around Fish-Man Island, either robbing the humans who came and going, or simply robbing the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island.
"Don't act rashly!"
Donald shouted to stop the frightened crew from taking up arms.
In the deep sea, there is no chance of winning a fight with fishmen.
Not to mention that the other party still has a sea beast, and the number is also overwhelming.
Donald struggled to calm down.
Fish-people are better than sea beasts, at least they can communicate.
The sea beast and the fish-people stopped a short distance ahead, and then a fish-man paddled over, passed through the coating, and landed directly on the deck.
"What do you have to do with this fishman?"
Donald knows that many fish-people hate humans, so he tries to show his friendliness.
Fish-Man glanced at him and said directly, "We are the patrol force under the Fish-Man Island Exit and Entry Bureau, responsible for inspecting all ships coming and going to Fish-Man Island, now, please let us search your ships to ensure that nothing happens that harms Fish-Man Island." β
Bright would be glad to see this, and it would not be easy to get these guys to say this calmly in the face of humans.
Donald was stunned for a moment, "Immigration Bureau? Sorry Mr. Fishman, I'm a businessman who travels back and forth to Fish-Man Island a lot, but why haven't I heard of this agency? β
Isn't it really some Fish-Man pirate who is preparing to rob in the name of Fish-Man Island?
"We are a newly established institution."
The fishman frowned slightly, and his attitude was already a little impatient, "You just need to choose to accept it or not." β
Donald cautiously asked, "What if you don't accept it?" β
"If you don't accept it, you won't be allowed to land on Fish-Man Island, you can go back the way you came or go straight to the New World." The fish-man said coldly.
Donald breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay, it's okay, I thought I would die after refusing.
Then he thought about it for a moment and asked tentatively, "So, what if you want to forcibly land on Fish-Man Island without being inspected?" β
Donald watched the fish-man smile on his face.
"In that case, you can see for yourself the consequences of doing so."
The fish-man turned and pointed to the front of the boat.
Donald looked in the direction he was directing.
In the distance, the pirate ship I saw earlier was also confronting a sea beast.
The sea beast pounced in the next moment, directly smashing through the coating on the pirate ship, and slapped a large hole in the pirate ship's hull with one claw.
Then, without even doing anything more than the sea beast, the membrane shattered, the deep sea water penetrated, and under the pressure, everything was crushed.
Donald was instantly silent.
Is this the end of wanting to break through?
"Please search casually, the cabin is full of ordinary cargo."
Donald hurried.
The fish-men nodded, and with a wave of their hands, another group of fish-men landed on the deck, swaggering past the pale crew and into the cabin, where the search began.
Donald took a deep breath.
How did Fish-Man Island get so tough?
This deep sea is about to change the sky.
Humans who want to pass through here are afraid that they will face a deep sea disaster next.
What will become of Fish-Man Island next?
Donald can't wait to land on Fish-Man Island to see it.
The fishmen quickly checked it, because it was true that no contraband was found, but the weapons were all confiscated, and they said that they would be returned when they left Fish-Man Island.
After that, the fishmen questioned Donald again, asking him about the purpose of coming to Fish-Man Island, the identity of the people on board, and how long he was going to stay.
After all the questions were asked, the fishmen gave them a slip on which the results of the inspection were recorded.
Donald relaxed, it seems that although Fish-Man Island's attitude has become tougher, it is not blindly rejecting humans.
Then, it was stopped again outside the gate of Fish-Man Island.
The fishmen who wore the same uniform as the fishmen just now had to register them.
Donald glanced at the sea beast rolling in the water diagonally behind him, and did not refuse.
Thorough inspections have already been done, so what's the big deal about registering?
The inspection slips were handed in, and each person was photographed, and finally everyone on board was given a pass with their photo affixed to it for a limited period of time.
The fishmen said that if they want to travel on Fish-Man Island now, they must use a pass, otherwise they will be evicted as illegal invasion.
Expelled from Fish-Man Island in this deep sea -
Donald shuddered, and immediately told everyone to put this pass away.
Then finally able to officially land, and along the sea route, Donald sailed the ship to the familiar port.
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that there were also many soldiers of the Blue System patrolling the shore of the port, and there should be a sea beast floating in the sky.
It's really a new institution on Fish-Man Island.
Donald was amazed.
With the crew ready to unload, Donald disembarked with two of his men, ready to ship to the familiar Fish-Man Island merchants.
As soon as I stepped onto the shore and breathed in the sweet air of Fish-Man Island, the sound of commotion could be heard in the distance.
There's a lot to see, so what's there to hesitate about?
Donald walked over with his men.
On the other side of the port, a human wall has been formed.
Donald managed to squeeze in, and all he saw was the two groups of people who were fighting.
Soldiers dressed in blue are besieging a group of humans.
Huge sea beasts were wreaking havoc, each slapping accompanied by a loud scream.
Donald held his breath.
"What's going on? Why did you start fighting all of a sudden? β
"It is said that the pirates were preparing to set sail, but refused to be inspected, which caused a conflict, and in the end, it was like this."
"What the hell is going on in Fish-Man Island? Who wants to be here? It's just a drop-by. β
"It will even anger the pirates, they are going to be in big trouble."
Donald listened to the voice, then slowly withdrew from the crowd.
One of his subordinates said worriedly, "Boss, now that the form of Fish-Man Island is so severe, it seems that it is no longer suitable for business. β
Donald looked at him in surprise, "What are you talking about, isn't this a huge business opportunity?" β
"Huh?"
"Hahahaha! It's time to get rich! Lao Tzu wants to go and see the director first! β
