After landing on the island, Ian and the others walked towards the town. Teana Ww
At the entrance of the town, Ian and the others saw the name of the island. Two pillars supported a curved plaque that read "Welcome to Tiao Island"!
In contrast, there is the huge black pirate flag above the plaque, on which the logo of the Whitebeard Pirates hangs.
This is indeed the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
However, after entering the town, Ian discovered that there are many ordinary residents here.
The spacious avenue, the dazzling array of shops, and all kinds of buildings with different styles give the whole town a bright atmosphere.
While Ian was still admiring the appearance of the city, suddenly a barking sound came from behind. Ian thought there was a dog, so he turned around and looked.
As a result, seeing this almost made his eyeballs pop out!
It was indeed a dog running from behind, but Ian saw that the dog had a key on it, and the key was slowly turning while the dog was running.
A brat laughed loudly, chasing the dog and running behind, as if trying to catch him, one person and one dog, running past Ian and the others like a gust of wind.
"I... Am I blinded?" Ian rubbed his eyes vigorously: "Why is there a strip on the dog? Could it be that brat inserted it?"
The rest of the pirates also looked at each other in blank dismay.
And as Ian and the others went deeper into the town, they saw more and more such creatures.
Whether it's a dog or a cat, they all have an iron bar key on their bodies. Ian also saw livestock such as cows and horses in this town. These animals, without exception, also have bars on their bodies.
A parrot flew over Ian's head, with a bunch of keys behind his buttocks, turning and turning...
"Haha! This is your first time to Tiaodao?" A passing old man couldn't help laughing when he saw Ian's stunned look.
"Grandpa, are the strips on these animals real?" Ian asked blankly, pointing at the flying parrot.
The old man smiled and said: "Yes, the creatures on this island are all very rare 'creatures'! They are definitely alive."
To be precise, this island should be called Zhenshou Island. The creatures on the island all have a special "bar organ". After nightfall, these living things will go dormant, and at the same time, the bars will automatically recover, just like twisting the bars, which is the source of power for their activities.
"This island was born in ancient times!" The old man introduced to Ian and the others with a cane, "These creatures were also born at that time. They have been living on this island for thousands of years." They lived on the island until someone landed on the island. Some scholars settled on the island and established towns in order to study these rare creatures. However, when the news spread, more and more More and more people have started to think about these rare creatures, they wantonly hunted and killed these rare creatures for sale, and we civilians are often harassed by them."
The old man sighed and said, "A lot of people thought they couldn't live anymore and wanted to leave this island, but thirty years ago, Whitebeard came to this island and designated it as one of his territories. , it seems to have protected this place.”
Ian nodded straightly when he heard it. Indeed, those who made plans for creatures are probably pirates or bounty hunters. Whitebeard has designated this place as a powerful territory, and no one would dare to mess around in his territory.
"Listen up!" The old man pointed at Ian, and said to him, "It's fine for you to stay on the island, but don't take advantage of these creatures, otherwise no one will be able to save you!"
Ian shrugged, he didn't expect to be admonished by two people one after another as soon as he landed on this island.
He hadn't thought about attacking these creatures in the first place, so naturally he didn't take it to heart.
This island is quite big, but the towns on the island are not that big. From a distance, there are dense forests and mountains behind the towns. It is estimated that these creatures inhabit these forests.
Ian and his group consisted of more than 60 people, which can be regarded as a mighty force. After entering the town, they first found a place to sell the surplus supplies they had scavenged from the warship.
These things are mainly swords and firearms. At that time, the naval soldiers on the entire ship were equipped with guns and swords. After the surrender, they were all taken away by Ian. There were seven or eight hundred firearms, and there were seven or eight hundred handles. As for swords, Ian and the others only have more than 70 people here, even if they have one, there are still many more.
Naturally, these weapons couldn't be left to rust all the time, so Ian and the others took out some of them for sale.
The navy's guns and weapons are naturally good things, so they don't have to worry about selling them. Ian and the others found a weapons store and sold them directly to the boss.
This is Whitebeard's territory, so even if it looks like it's from the navy, the boss will accept it, but Ian and the others are still under pressure. In the end, there are more than 500 guns and swords. I only bought more than half a million Baileys.
Although it wasn't much, but they had money, so they naturally wanted to spend it. At Duo Luni's suggestion, they found a larger tavern and planned to go in for a drink and something to eat.
After arriving at the tavern, Saldin found himself in a difficult situation. The door was too small for him to get in, so he had no choice but to find the owner of the tavern and ask him to move out dozens of barrels and put them outside for Saldin to drink.
Ian and the others could be regarded as big customers, but the tavern owner also cooperated, welcoming them in graciously, and beckoning them to sit down.
The people dispersed to seven or eight tables and sat down. Big glasses of wine were served, and all kinds of delicious food were also served, so that everyone began to feast on it.
Matthew is a chef. He is very curious about the unique food on this island, so he dragged the tavern owner to ask for advice, but his slow tone made the tavern owner unbearable and ran away in a hurry.
The rest of the people chatted about interesting things while drinking, and laughed out loud from time to time. This is a typical pirate style.
Ian didn't participate much, he was listening to the conversation of other people in the tavern.
It is said that the tavern is an important source of information, which is not false at all. Apart from Ian and the others, there are many other pirates in this tavern. When they chat, they often talk about what they have seen and heard, and the information It is often found in this way inadvertently.
While drinking silently while listening, at this moment, the conversation among the pirates at the table behind caught his attention.
"Hey, have you heard about that masked man!"
"Masked man? Who is this?"
"You are stupid! Who else is the most famous masked person now?"
"Hey! You are talking about the guy who was offered a reward of 500 million Baileys, right?"
"That's him! The Marie Gioia arsonist!"
Upon hearing this, Ian immediately knew who they were talking about, so he immediately pricked up his ears to listen.
"500 million Baileys, damn it, I don't know why the Navy gave such a high bounty!"
"Do you still need to think about it? It must have burned down the house of the Tianlong people, making the Tianlong people angry!"
"By the way, why did you suddenly mention him?"
"Hey... I heard that that guy has come to Tiaodao!"
Ian snorted and almost spit out a mouthful of wine, what the hell is this! ? How can any pirate know the news of his arrival here
When will even a pirate be able to control his whereabouts
In the midst of doubts, Ian heard the pirates at the table behind continue to communicate: "What? The masked man really came to Tiao Island?"
"Of course, this news is absolutely reliable!"
"No way, isn't that what we have achieved? As long as we can catch that guy, won't we be able to get 500 million Baileys?"
"You brag, the 500 million bounty, do you think it's really that easy to catch? Isn't it written on the bounty list? It can only be captured alive!"
"That's not a problem, as long as you find him, it will be fine with a sap from behind?"
"Tch, you are really stupid to say you are stupid, this is Whitebeard's territory, you dare to arrest people here?"
"It's not easy, as long as the people of the Whitebeard Pirates can't see it?"
"Go away, that masked man is someone that even the Whitebeard Pirates value. I heard that as soon as he landed on the island, the Whitebeard Pirates recognized him and wanted to pull him in!"
"Isn't it? Doesn't that mean you can't move him at all?"
Ian was puzzled for a while, what's going on? When did the members of the Whitebeard Pirates recognize themselves? When did you recruit yourself into the gang
He was completely confused by the news...
