The five old stars made a shocking conspiracy against the navy in the dark room.
But what they don't know is...
at this time
A bald man with a painting style far superior to theirs has landed on the Chambord Islands.
The Chambord Islands are located in front of the red earth continent in the middle of the Grand Line. They are composed of many towering trees. Tree roots are formed on the ground. Countless bubbles float out from the ground in an endless stream, forming a unique landscape on the Grand Line.
This is the only way to the new world, and countless pirates and bounty hunters gather here.
However, the security of the islands is pretty good.
Because the Navy Headquarters and the World Government, which are the most powerful forces in the world, are not far away, no matter how powerful and lawless the pirates are, they have no courage to cause trouble here.
With the navy, there is order.
And some bold businessmen gradually started thinking about doing pirate business.
Thanks to the bubble culture on the island, countless derivative products have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Pirates spend money lavishly and merchants make a lot of money.
The navy has a dedicated landing port, and pirates must not be seen there.
So along the way, it was Taschi who was introducing various cultural landscapes here and some potential rules of the island to Saitama.
"This place is very close to Mariejoia, so the Celestial Dragons often appear..."
As Dasqi walked, he said: "Most people don't dare to mess with them, because once the Tianlong people are threatened, the Navy Headquarters will dispatch generals to clean up all threats on the island... But this also creates their character of doing whatever they want, and they Thinking they are superior to others, they even keep human slaves in captivity..."
Saitama looked around at the scenery on the island, squinting his eyes and saying, "What a bunch of nasty guys."
"Well, the Navy also has a headache with them..."
Dasqi nodded and sighed softly: "For various reasons, the Navy has compromised with the Tianlong people, so even if they break the law, they cannot be caught for trial... But secretly, the Navy has been trying its best to protect the civilians on the island. Only the Celestial Dragons are allowed to own pirate slaves. Pirates are almost all guilty of heinous crimes. If they fall into the hands of the Celestial Dragons, their evil will be punished... "
Saitama raised his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
"However, there are exceptions..."
Daschi whispered to Saitama: "The commander-in-chief of the three armed forces has restricted the scope of activities of the Tianlong people, and has stipulated that slaves are only allowed to be pirates, but those who are not members of the World Government are not protected by the law, so Even if the human traffickers catch them and sell them to the Celestial Dragons, the Navy has no right to interfere... There are also many young and beautiful women who, once spotted by the Celestial Dragons, will be forced to take them as concubines. This is not a slave trade, but a legal one. Marriage, so the navy also... Alas!"
"Since it is forced, it is not legal."
Saitama continued walking, tilting his head and thinking: "I see... there is no difference between them and pirates."
"The one who makes laws is the highest authority of the world government - the Five Elder Stars."
Dasqi said helplessly: "They are also Celestial Dragons themselves, so of course they will give Celestial Dragons some privileges... If the Navy wants to arrest criminals, there must be laws to follow, so these years the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces has been competing with the Five Old Stars for power. Just amend the law, even though it will have little effect..."
"This world is really complicated..."
Saitama smiled: "But no matter how complicated the world is, there are always heroes who have justice and want to change the world, so you don't have to be too depressed, Dasqi. At least there are countless people working hard to change the status quo. , and now..."
"I'm just standing here!"
In one sentence, it speaks volumes.
The simple expression on that round face can inexplicably make people feel at ease!
"Yes! Mr. Saitama!"
Dasqi cheered up again, stood at attention and saluted: "We are here just for change! So now, shall we go to the World Government to meet the Five Old Stars?"
"No, wait a little longer..."
Saitama turned his head and looked in the other direction of the Chambord Islands, and said slowly: "Now it is not just about my assassination but also about the lives of one million people in Alabasta. I have heard many things from you. If If possible, I would like to solve it as soon as possible..."
Dasqi was stunned: "...so?"
"So... Dasqi, are you familiar with this place?"
Saitama smiled and patted Tatsuki on the shoulder: "I want to see the current situation of this island with my own eyes. It would be great if I could meet the Tianlong people."
"Ah, yes!"
Dasqi quickly took out the phone bug from his pocket, and after reporting to the Navy headquarters, he took Saitama and left the navy's dedicated port: "Mr. Saitama, I have told the headquarters that we will go there later, um... now, I Let me take you to the lawless areas of Islands 1 to 29 first, there should be a lot of pirates gathering there."
"Pirate?"
Saitama curiously asked: "Since we know the pirates are there, why doesn't the navy go and arrest them?"
"Because they are all going to the New World."
As Tatsuki and Saitama walked, they answered questions for Saitama: "The New World is a territory ruled by four pirates called 'Emperors'. It is also a strategy to let the pirates go and kill each other. The New World's If there are more pirates, there will be fewer pirates on our side. Moreover, pirates must pay huge taxes to pass through the Red Earth Continent. The world government will use this tax to reward pirates, killing two birds with one stone... "
Saitama suddenly said: "You are really smart!"
It sounds smart, but it's actually a compromise.
Otherwise, there are so many pirates on the sea, and each one has a bounty on his head. How can the world government have so much money for bounty hunters
In the end, the pirate's money can only be used to kill the pirate.
Governing the world is not something we can take for granted.
Absolute justice requires too much to pay.
…
Just as he was talking, Saitama suddenly stopped, lowered his head and touched his stomach.
"Ah... I'm suddenly hungry..."
So Saitama turned to Tashigi and asked: "Is there a place to eat near here? It would be better if there are cabbage and hot pot."
"Hot pot is something from your world, Mr. Saitama, it shouldn't exist..."
Dasqi thought for a moment, snapped her fingers and said, "But I remember that the Peninsula Restaurant in Area 24 has a very good specialty, the Great Steak. Pirates and navy alike often visit there."
"Steak..."
Saitama nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there!"
…
District 24
Peninsula Restaurant
It's a little far away from the naval port.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that the farther away the gathering place of criminals is from the navy, the better.
So when Saitama and Tatsuki walked into the Peninsula Restaurant, it was already a little late, but there were still many vicious guys staying here, in groups.
