Bab 8: The barrel kingdom and 'the' crocodile
"Damn it! Whitebeard, just you wait!"
Whitebeard was now on the deck of the Moby Dick, looking at Chinjao who was held by the Happo Navy crew members, he smirked disdainfully.
Ralph even after using the double chanting was defeated by Chinjao, but before Whitebeard, he didn't last long.
To be honest, Chinjao is indeed one of the top powerhouses on the sea. But his opponent is Whitebeard who is at his peak, and it was already incredible to hold on for so long.
Therefore, the Happo Navy led by Chinjao could only retreat. As for the cursing of the defeated Chinjao, whitebeard didn't think much of it.
The Happo Navy is not much different from pirates, and there were many treasures on board, and the treasures all fell into the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates. Such a big gain is certainly worth having another party.
After a night of singing and dancing, everyone resumed their normal life as a pirate. sailing a ship, drinking, and training, so everyone was busy with their own affairs.
After drifting on the seas for several weeks, they finally saw a piece of land. It was not deserted, but an inhabited island.
The Moby Dick was slowly approaching the port, and Ralph was still wondering why when such a large pirate ship was approaching, there was no turmoil in the port.
When he looked up, he found a flag of the Whitebeard pirates hanging on the port.
Only then did Ralph remember that a big pirate like Whitebeard, with his power and reputation could lend his banner to others.
And daring to attack the people who he lent his flag is equivalent to declaring war on him.
Generally speaking, such a flag is equivalent to the royal decree of a kingdom, enough to protect them from pirates. And as a price, these countries only need to provide some treasures to the Whitebeard pirates.
This is what the New World calls the Yonko's territory, and Whitebeard is the pirate with the most territory now.
Speaking of which, this approach is no different from the tax collected by the world government. It is equivalent to protection fees, but the target is different.
Of course, there is another difference, and that is the Whitebeard pirates will not collect protection fees as harshly as the world government.
Whitebeard's popularity is quite high and has friends everywhere in the sea, the kings in most of his territories are basically like this, so Whitebeard didn't receive much money.
The country of barrels is such a country. King Bibo II is an old friend of Whitebeard.
The country of barrels is said to be a kingdom, but the land area is only this island. And true to its name this is a country full of wooden barrels, and even the buildings on the port are built like wooden barrels.
This country maintains its economy by manufacturing sturdy barrels and selling them, but it is a relatively small and wealthy country. Coupled with the Whitebeard pirates banner, there are no pirate raids, and you can see the happy smiles of the people who are walking by.
Whitebeard jumped onto the harbor and turned around and said, "Okay! boys, next we are going to steer the Moby Dick to the dock to get it fixed, and after that do what you want!"
The Moby Dick suffered a storm before and docked on an island, planning to repair it on the spot.
But he didn't expect to meet Ralph and had to leave under the pressure of the captain-commander. For the next two months, no suitable islands were found to repair the ship.
Fortunately, in the past two months, there was no severe weather and strong enemies.
After Whitebeard gave his orders, he walked in the direction of the palace.
Ralph greeted everyone and then walked towards the town. He was very interested in the towns of the Pirate World.
Walking on the streets of the town, he couldn't help but think it was interesting. This country really deserves to be a country of wooden barrels, even the people carry small wooden barrels on their waists.
Such a weird situation may only occur in the Pirate World.
Suddenly, Ralph saw a shop with clothes hung up, so he walked in.
Ralph has recently been practicing advanced Shunpo, specifically the Utsusemi technique, however, Ralph only has one Shinigami outfit, and it is inconvenient to practice in.
The tailor was a long-arm tribe member and was extremely proficient in what he does, and after listening to Ralph's request he made the clothes in a few minutes.
Ralph copied the fourth-generation hokage style of wearing clothes. Of course, it isn't really the Hokage robe, but a white Haori that can only be worn by the captains of the 13 divisions. The difference is that embroidered on the back of Ralph's haori is not a number, but the whitebeard pirate symbol.
Ralph has a high amount of Reiryoku, his Kidō, and Hakuda are at a high level, and to put it bluntly, he has already reached the captain's standard and is qualified to wear the Haori.
Ralph commissioned the tailor to make more, and agreed to come over to pick it up in the evening, and then left the shop.
Wearing this Haori, Ralph felt that his aura has risen. But he snapped back to reality and thought of how to accumulate invasion points.
After all, I'm just a swordsman and I can't be a captain without starting my own pirate crew.
Pushing open the door of a tavern, he saw at a glance that most of the Whitebeard Pirates were drinking and cheering. There were also some small-time pirates who could only hide in the corner and watch the crowd while keeping their heads down.
Although there are always pirates who live and die aiming at Whitebeard, most of the pirates still understand the status of the Whitebeard Pirates in this sea, so how would they dare provoke them?
Thatch saw Ralph walking in and raising the barrel-like beer mug in his hand and said "You're finally here, you've been shopping for so long and you only bought clothes?"
Ralph sat next to thatch and said, "I can say the same for you, as you got off the ship you came here to drink."
Ralph turned around and asked the bartender for the specialty here. The two of them were drinking, and suddenly they heard a commotion in the street.
Thatch put down his beer mug and said unhappily, "What's the matter, anyone dares to cause trouble where the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates is hung?"
Ralph was also very curious about who was so unlucky to cause trouble when the Whitebeard Pirates are on the island. So the two left the tavern together.
The civilians with barrels around their waste, ran and fled into the distance.
The two looked in the direction these people came, and they saw a group of people approaching with great momentum.
The leader of the group had a big bushy beard with a crocodile helmet on his head and a long-handle mace in his hand while a group of crooked pirates followed him.
The group saw Ralph, Thatch, and the others standing in front of them.
"Hey, who are you? How dare you stand in my way!" The crocodile hat man's tone was quite arrogant.
Thatch said in a disdainful tone "Do you know where you are, and who you're talking to."
It's a common problem for pirates to be underestimated by others, especially the crocodile head, carrying a mace and saying, "I'm a big pirate with a bounty of 110 million."
"Yeah yeah! Our captain has a bounty of 110 million, the great pirate Proses."
Thatch dug his ears with his little finger, then put it in front of his mouth and blew, and said more contemptuously "What big pirate, I haven't heard of it."
The corner of Ralph's mouth twitched, but it wasn't because he looked down on the pirate in front of him. This kind of trash that hasn't appeared in the original work is not worth the time and effort.
He just thought of something else. The devil fruits in the Pirate World are all sorts of strange, among them the zoan seems to give people the worse impression. This of course does not include the rare mythical and some ancient species.
Among them, two of the fruits seemed to be eaten one is a fruit eaten by a reindeer, and Ralph would never think of how to develop it.
The other is a fish fruit, originally thought that this funny fruit would not exist. What do you do after eating? Be a fish that can't swim!
But the forms of these two fruits are extremely powerful, Now there is a crocodile man.
"But, is a crocodile counted as a fish?"
