Arceus's Pirate Journey
Chapter 325: A Surprise Discovery in Trading
The arms trade in Wano has not been abandoned. Most of this business relies on the underground black market in the New World. The underground industry in the New World has long been divided up. No one except the beasts of the year can join it.
.
There are dedicated merchants for warehousing and shipping, and all Baishou needs to do is deliver goods.
As their business expands, they earn more by giving up part of their profits to middlemen.
However, they will also ask the Beast Pirates to deliver goods to some new customers individually, such as some people who are located in the first half of the Grand Line.
As the influence of the Great Pirate Age becomes more and more intense, various countries, forces, and pirate groups are gradually increasing their reliance on weapons. As long as some powder of liquor and iron ore is mixed into the sword, the weapon can be made sharper.
The manufactured gun barrels are mixed with some liquor iron ore powder to increase service life and durability, so the weapons of the Beast Pirates have always occupied a high-end share of the weapons market.
The standard weapons flowing out from within the navy and the weapons produced by the beasts have always been the most popular types. This trip to Manderfesh was to meet their new customers.
The Kingdom of Sikeal, a country on Krayingana Island in the first half of the Great Line, is a non-franchised country. At this time, there is a war on the island, and a battle is taking place between the royal army and the rebels.
The war started not long ago, and the cause was the tax issue. Sikai V came to the throne two years ago. Although he was a royal family, he was not satisfied. He wanted to join the World Government and then become a franchising country, and finally become a world noble.
One of the mandatory requirements for joining the World Government is the additional payment of heavenly gold. In order to collect the heavenly gold, he began to pay taxes. In one year, the Kingdom of Sikeal had many kinds of bizarre taxes.
But this is far from enough, not even enough money to bribe others. There are so many countries in the world. If you want to join the world government, you can't have no one to recommend you. And they won't recommend people for no reason, so you have to use Bailey to open the way.
In this case, he chose to continue to raise taxes. The original taxes made their lives difficult, but they were still able to survive, so no one chose to become rebels.
But in doing so, he exceeded the limits of the people's tolerance. After a family was arrested because they could not pay taxes, conflicts finally broke out.
The first turmoil broke out in the kingdom. The original purpose was to ask him to cancel taxes, but a certain genius minister gave him an extremely outrageous suggestion. The fact that the common people could resist meant that the taxes were not high enough. As long as they continued to increase taxes, they would have nothing.
Any strength to resist will be fine.
So in this case, the parade turned into a rebel army. Since taxes were imposed anyway, they simply pooled their money and bought weapons from passing merchant ships.
In this era of great pirates, weapons were hard currency worth more than gold, and eight out of ten merchant ships would carry weapons. In this way, the Sikeal rebellion completely broke out.
One side had more people, and the other side had better equipment and quality, and Sikeal eventually fell into this stalemate.
As time went by, both sides were thinking about how to deal with each other, and the rebels also began to look for more sophisticated weapons, and finally they succeeded in finding the Beast.
But this has nothing to do with the beasts. They don't check the household registration when selling weapons. Manderfesh came to deliver these weapons just because their bid was high enough.
"Brother Manderfish, we are here!"
"I saw it, but it was really lively. Where is the consignee? It would be embarrassing if it was delivered to the wrong person. Reputation is still very important."
This kind of melee situation is not a good thing for them. If the weapons are accidentally sent to the enemy of the cargo owner, it will become a joke.
"They said they would wait for us at a port on the east coast."
"Rear the sails and wait until night. Their battle has nothing to do with us."
Mandefish does not intend to interfere in their battlefield. The Beast Pirates provide mercenary services, but that is for an additional fee. If they encounter an enemy team during the day, it will not be appropriate for them to fight or not. Mandefish gives permission.
We don't intend to let the other party use our combat power for nothing.
At night, Manderfish took a few people in a small boat and landed at the eastern port of Krayingana Island.
"Who is it!"
As soon as the ship docked, several figures with guns appeared in the shadows. According to Manderfish's perception, there were several people hiding in other places and not showing up.
"The one who sent the weapons, Joseph, must be one of yours."
Manderfish mentioned the name of the consignee, but the other party did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he asked Manderfish about the secret code agreed upon.
After getting the correct answer, they took them to the rebel base. This was their self-proclaimed name, but in the eyes of the kingdom, they were just rebels.
"We have brought the ammunition, swords, and everything you asked for. Where's the money?"
"Here, but this is only half... The rest will have to wait until we defeat the opponent before we can give it to you. We have some funds..."
"Hey, old man, are you kidding me? Do you think our business can be done on credit?"
Manderfish's expression immediately changed when he heard that he had no money. It was impossible to open a credit account in this area of business, and once it was opened, it could not be closed.
"You don't think I'm easy to talk to, do you? Your funding is your problem. If you can't pay the final payment, we won't refund the deposit."
If you can get the money, you are the customer; if you can't get the money, you are cheating them.
"We lost a lot of supplies due to the defeat on the front line, so..."
"That has nothing to do with me! I just want to ask, do you have any money?!"
As he spoke, Manderfesh punched the table in front of him. In his opinion, the table would be smashed to pieces with this punch, but a huge backlash force came and he almost sprained himself.
took his own hands.
"Wait, Brother Manderfish."
The men suddenly grabbed Manderfish, which made him a little dissatisfied.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Manderfish, look at that thing... it seems to be... that..."
Although it was not broken by the hammer, the things on the table had been blown away by Manderfish's power, and the table that fell to the side was in the shape of a stone slab.
There is also a very simple test method for the Slate Beasts Pirates. If it cannot be broken, it is real. Manderfish still has some confidence in his own strength. Looking at the undamaged tabletop, he found that he had picked up a treasure.
.
"Ahem, don't be nervous, everyone. This is actually a show. You are new customers. I can give you a small discount. But this stone is quite strong. Do you have any objections to us taking it away?"
