On this day, July 31, 400 in the Nautical calendar, the Spirit pushed the waves and slid into the arms of Iron Thorn Harbor. The two ships docked side by side, in a long row of moored ships, not very conspicuous.

Iron Harbour is located in a standard crescent-shaped harbor. Many ships are queuing up to enter the port, and some are preparing to leave the port. The whole port appears to be extremely busy.

On the cliffs of the harbor are also carved a huge stone statue in the shape of a human figure, holding a sword in one hand, pointing in the direction of the sea. Tang Zhen also saw that some people on the merchant ship were still saluting the statue. It was only their king, after all, the man who carved it was richly dressed and wore a crown.

Tang Zhen, who was waiting in line, was thinking about how to pass this boring time.

Suddenly, I was caught by a behemoth driving not far away.

Tang Zhen was shocked, this is the boat that a man should control. Looking at his own boat, looking at other people's boats, the gap is so big that even if he stops there and lets himself bang, he can't do anything to others. The wooden deck, which is at least 70 centimeters, is not for fun.

It seems that during the First Opium War, the largest battleship of the British was three third-class battleships, and even the first- and second-class battleships on them were not dispatched. And only the Far Eastern Fleet, that is, the fleet stationed in India, was dispatched. The home fleet was not mobilized.

But now, the British Empire, which was once known as the empire on which the sun never sets, has now become a big brother.

And that once poor and weak country is now back in the midst of a great revival.

"Ding! You've arrived at Iron Thorn Harbor and obtained basic information about this port.

Tang Zhen got such a message as soon as he landed, and he immediately opened it.

Port: Iron Thorn Harbor Country: Franky Country

Special Locations: He

glanced around, clicked a few times on various buildings, and got some introductions, such as clicking on the exchange, you can know what goods are inside, and you can know the price of these goods. This information is of great benefit to the businessman, who does not have to worry about being deceived when he knows the actual price of the goods, and can also save time in investigation. If you have access to trade information from multiple ports, you will be able to grasp the best business opportunities and make huge profits by reselling goods.

However, Tang Zhen is not interested in business for the time being.

Tang Zhen got off the boat, and not far away, he saw a little beauty with short yellow hair. He was waving at a boat, as if he was saying goodbye to someone.

Behind him was a man in a suit, with a big back hair, who looked like he was supposed to be a butler. He often uses his hands to hold his glasses, but unlike normal people, he uses the palm of his hand close to his wrist to help.

Tang Zhen's heart moved, and he used the investigation technique on him: "Sure enough, did this also appear? "Character

: Clabat (Chloe)Occupation: Intermediate SwordsmanIdentity

: Butler of the Kya Family (Captain of the Black Cat Pirates)Strength

: Second-Order Peak

Bounty Amount: 3000 Gold CoinsCharacter

Profile: Chloe

is known as a hundred tricks because of his tricks. Because the bounty is getting higher and higher, he is being hunted down by the navy and pirate hunters. The long period of arrest made him tired of this life on the run. Therefore, he came to this port incognito and planned to marry Keya, the daughter of a wealthy local merchant, in order to leap over the class.

Interestingly, even here, the trajectory of fate has not changed.

I just don't know if Usopp still exists.

When Baiji Rock does it, he may also go to help. After all, it is rare to see a girl as gentle and kind as Keya.

As for whether there are other thoughts, only Tang Zhen knows in his heart.

Soon they were gone.

Tang Zhen was also busy, he got off the ship after docking, dealt with the port authority officials at the port, paid the berthing fee, and filled out a slip with his relevant information. Tang Zhen's physical characteristics are standard Oriental, and since he has no legal nationality, he has to apply for a temporary residence permit, which is very formal, which gives Tang Ke a new understanding of the integrity of the political system of the other world.

Especially after stuffing a few golden things, Yiying documents were quickly sent to Tang Zhen.

The clothes of the officials here are similar to the impression of the West, they all have wigs with many curls on their heads, the wigs are white or off-white, very thick, and the weather is hot and inevitably cover the panic, so they have to wear perfume to cover up the smell of sweat.

Tang Zhen saw that those who wore wigs were sweating profusely, and then he felt that this fee was not in vain.

Pirates are a group of people who seek freedom, but they also have to have a force behind them. Most pirates will choose to have good relations with a country so that they can get a supply port and no one will go around making enemies.

That's why Tang Zhen went to apply for a temporary residence permit.

While chatting with the officials of those ports, Tang Zhen learned that the cliffs of the harbor were engraved with the statue of a great navigator - the prince of navigation Vasco da Gama, who was the pioneer of the Age of Discovery, who led the fleet to explore the unknown seas and open up new routes, so that later generations reached the New World from the Western Road.

The beginning of a new era brought in a new calendar, and this era was called the Nautical Calendar, the first year of the Nautical Calendar, and that year was when Vasco da Gama set sail.

400 years later, the people of the Western Continent still pay homage to this navigator, whether it be a merchant, a pirate or a navy.

Vasco da Gama was a symbol, a symbol of the beginning of the Age of Discovery! No

matter how dangerous the sea was, it could not stop people from wanting to conquer it!

Of course, for other countries, it was a complete colonizer. is the embodiment of evil.
