I Have Accomplished Nothing, So I Can Only Become the Pirate King

Chapter 59 Chaotic Rogge Town

 Sage has worked in many professions, including local gangsters. This profession is also related to those black market merchants.

 The goods looted by pirates are basically collected by these people. As for the price, it is definitely not as high as it can be obtained through formal channels.

 But similarly, the stolen goods do not require capital, and the profits are higher than those of serious merchants.

 Everyone can make money, and it can be considered a winwin.

After counting the loot, the pirates should rest and take a rest. In this stormy weather, people still need to be on duty. One is to go to the top of the deck building to look out, and the other is to observe the surroundings and the hull on the deck. facility.

 However, the latter can be rotated faster. They have many people, and a half-hour rotation is enough.

“Sarge, the current men are not enough to convert into combat power, and the weapons we grabbed are completely insufficient.”

Lily continued there: "Should we let them replenish their supplies when we get to the next place?"

To rob a merchant ship, it was naturally impossible for the whole army to be mobilized. It was just Akin and some thirty old pirates who did it. The remaining newly joined pirates were still wearing prison uniforms and did not even have any weapons. Of course they were not easy to rob.

There were some escorts on the ship, but there were only a dozen or so in number. The weapons collected were only a few guns and a few long blunderbuss, which could not even be wedged between the teeth.

“Of course we need supplies, we can’t just rely on our fists to grab them.” Sage took a sip of wine and leaned on the throne.

 “What about this money?” Lily asked.

The more than 600 newly joined pirates will definitely have no money. If they want to replenish their equipment, they will definitely need money.

Even if each person has a bad sword and there are more than 600 people, it will still cost 30 to 40 million beli, which is a big sum.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‖

Saag moved his body comfortably, shook the jeweled wine glass, and smiled: "When you get to Rogge Town, just grab it."

The island in the chart that Lily pointed to before is the island closest to Upside Down Mountain, and there is a big town on the island, which is known as the "Town of the Beginning and End"

  Rogg Town.

 …

As an island close to the entrance of the Grand Line, Rogge Town, which occupies one-third of the island area, is an extremely prosperous large town. However, at the same time, it is also a gathering place for pirates who once aimed to enter the Grand Line. There will be a battle between navy and pirates.

Ever since Navy Captain Smoker took charge of this place, no pirate who entered here has been able to escape.

 But Smoker left some time ago, and Rogge Town, which lacked strong people to suppress it, eventually lost this specialness.

 Rogg Town is completely in chaos.

 Bang, bang, bang!

 Dangdang!

　　Boom!

 The sound of guns and weapons echoed throughout the town.

Docked at the port were a dozen pirate ships flying pirate flags, and the pirates below were fighting with the navy. The buildings in the town were on fire, and the flames burned almost to the sky. , dyeing the streets near the port red.

 “Lieutenant Colonel! Pirates broke in from the port!”

  A branch captain trotted close to the naval defensive line and stood at attention to salute a marine wearing a military cap and a double-breasted coat.

That was a branch lieutenant colonel, not yet old enough to wear the coat of justice, but at his level, he was free to choose his attire.

“Let the troops support us and don’t let the pirates break through the port defense line!” the branch’s lieutenant colonel gave the order with a calm face.

"yes!"

The captain led a group of marines to a certain street to engage in battle with the pirates who broke in.

 “Damn it!”

 The colonel of the branch had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth: "Everyone, we cannot let the pirates break through again, we must protect the people!"

 After Colonel Smoker left, all **** broke loose.

In fact, even before Colonel Smoker came, there were not so many pirates in Rogge Town who dared to invade Rogge Town. After all, the naval base here is also quite large. Ordinary pirates would not come to plunder. Even if they come, they can suppress it.

Whether it is the number of people or the force, they are more powerful than the pirates with only one ship.

After all, a normal ship can only carry a hundred people. A large fleet like Crick, which claims to have 5,000 people, is still a minority, but its bounty is second to none in the East China Sea.

The pirates in the East China Sea, who have an average bounty of three million Baileys, will not take the initiative to provoke the navy. The pirates who come here, those with bounties, will deliberately disguise themselves to enter the town.

And the navy is not that stupid. They turn a blind eye to pirates who do not cause trouble. As long as they are not messing around openly, they will not deliberately search them.

 In the past, Rogge Town maintained such a balance.

Colonel Smoker came down from his headquarters to take charge of this place for a few years. All active pirates were captured, leaving no pirate in Rogge Town able to escape. I thought this was a good thing, but once he left, the consequences of this extreme suppression were Crazy rebound.

Taken from the reputation of Colonel Smoker, the pirates who did not dare to approach Rogge Town all arrived at Rogge Town. At the beginning, there were only two pirate groups, and their navy could still handle it. But after all, it was not Colonel Smogg’s crushing battle. Their battle with the pirates was back and forth, which also led the pirate group to think that Rogge Town had become ‘normal’.

The backlash caused by Colonel Smoker's departure has caused more and more incoming pirate groups, and the navy has become more and more exhausted. Obviously these pirates are uncooperative and are playing their own tricks, but the more and more After the confrontation, the more they discovered that they had formed an alliance with a tacit understanding, and eventually more than a dozen pirate groups all launched an attack on Rogge Town!

　　A tall pirate who used a giant ax to knock several sailors away shouted loudly: "Young men, defeat these sailors! Rob this town, prepare supplies, and let's go to the Grand Line!"

‘Big Ax Blade’ Pabala has a bounty of 11 million!

“Hee hee hee, robbed, robbed, robbed! Kill them, and we will rush in and plunder the treasure!” The pirates who used double knives as weapons stabbed the bodies of several sailors and smiled sinisterly.

　　‘Double Blade Snake’ Morrow, with a bounty of 9.5 million!

The East China Sea is not without pirates. There are also a lot of pirates in this sea area. The captains of the pirate groups who attacked each have a bounty of about 10 million. They are all troublesome pirates!

 “Cannon! Are the cannons ready?”

 The branch lieutenant colonel turned around and shouted: "Use artillery fire!"

 Cannons were pushed to the top of the building and aimed at the incoming pirates.

 “We are also using artillery fire here!”

Not to be outdone, the pirates brought the cannons on board in rows when they landed, aiming at the navy in front as a defensive front.

"open"

 Boom!

Just when the two sides were about to fire, a thunder flashed in the sky, and then, huge raindrops brought up strong winds and swept through the entire Rogge Town.

 At this moment, the sky became extremely dark.

 It’s raining heavily!

 The rain fell, soaking cannons and firearms, rendering them useless.

“Part of them will go back and take care of the equipment, and the rest of the navy will go back.”

 The lieutenant colonel drew out the knife from his waist and shouted: "Fight the pirates with me!"

This rainy day can be regarded as helping them. As long as they survive the pirates' attack and wait for the navy to protect their guns and cannons from rainy weather, they will definitely win!

 “Come on, deal with them!”

The pirates also understood this truth, abandoned their cannons and blunderbuss, drew their weapons, and charged at each other with the navy one by one with ferocious looks.

As long as they win the battle, the town will be free for them to plunder!

　　Boom!

At this moment, a cannon shot rang out at the port behind them, and a pirate ship was blown up from it. It hit the ammunition depot in the cabin, causing a huge explosion, and was blown into several pieces in an instant. , floating on the sea.

 Where did the shelling come from on a rainy day? !

Whether it was the navy or the pirates, they were all attracted by the sudden cannonball, and they all looked towards the port.

　　咻!

I saw another series of cannonballs flying from the distance, hitting several pirate ships near the wreckage, blowing them into several pieces, and gradually sank into the sea.

At this time, the storm became more and more intense. In this huge rain curtain, a black outline appeared inexplicably on the sea.

 The shell seemed to be fired from within that outline.

 “Reinforcements!”

 The pirate captains had gloomy faces.

 The reinforcements must have come too quickly.

The navy was overjoyed. They immediately sent a request for support to the surrounding branches, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly. Now they were saved.

 The lieutenant colonel of the branch raised his knife excitedly: "Reinforcements are coming, don't let these pirates escape, arrest them all!"

 “Lieutenant Colonel.”

The naval officer next to him was originally very excited, but as the silhouette quickly approached and showed some signs, his face instantly turned pale.

 “It’s not reinforcements, that is.”

He swallowed hard, stared at the giant ship sailing steadily in the center of the storm, and said in a trembling voice: "It's a black sailboat. A black sailboat under the storm. That's a 'natural disaster'! A 'natural disaster' is coming!"
