Pirates: Dangerous options in my head

"Boss, how did you sell this knife?"

In the weapons shop, Vivian pointed to a red sword with a red scabbard and asked the boss.

He just walked around the entire shop, and he only thought that this knife was pretty good, and the rest were almost not much different from the standard military knives issued by the base.

"Five million Baileys."

The boss sitting behind the counter said weakly.

"Five million Baileys..." Dasqi, who was following Vivian, pushed up his glasses, then took the knife from Vivian's hand, pulled it out and inspected it carefully.

"Although the workmanship of this knife is exquisite, the materials used are not particular at all. It can't even be ranked among the 50-grade good and fast knives. It can barely be regarded as a fast knife. Five million...actually.

Isn’t it too expensive?”

This is a total rip-off.

Somehow, Dasqi's eyes subconsciously looked at the weapon shop owner with a little anger.

Hearing this, the weapons store owner stood up and was about to get angry, but after seeing the navy uniforms worn by Vivian and others, he immediately became respectful.

"This is Lord Marine. Sit down wherever you like. I'll get you some drinks..."

"No, how much does this knife cost?" Vivian stretched out her hand to stop him.

"Actually, it's only two million Baileys." The boss said with a flattering smile.

"Two million, that's about the same price." Dasqi nodded with satisfaction.

And at the moment when Vivian took out his money bag from his arms and was about to pay, a young man wearing rags and linen clothes, about 1.7 meters tall, with a bamboo basket on his back, hurried out of the door.

He came in, bumped into Vivian's chest, and then fell to the ground.

Wow——!

From the bamboo basket, more than twenty red swords fell out and spread all over the floor.

He glanced at the red sword in his hand, then looked down at the one on the ground.

Vivian:???

"What does this mean?"

Vivian was dumbfounded.

Likewise, Dasqi, who was standing next to him, was also shocked and speechless.

I picked up two handfuls from the ground and checked them carefully. After I found that they were exactly the same as the ones in Vivian's hand, my little mouth suddenly opened wide.

"How can it be?!"

There are more than twenty "quick knives", and each knife has basically no difference in appearance and grip.

"Quick knife... can also be produced?"

Dasqi, whose common sense was subverted, was in shock.

Vivian, on the other hand, cast her gaze on the young man.

"Did you hit these knives?"

"Who are you?"

The young man rubbed his forehead in pain. He just felt as if he had hit a rock.

"Me? My name is Alfred Vivian, and I'm a Marine."

"navy?"

The young man who heard these two words curled his lips in disdain, "What's so great about the navy? It doesn't do anything all day long, but it can use the taxes we pay as wages. A navy like this is nothing like a pirate."

respectively."

bbq Island is under the flag of the World Government, so every year a large amount of "heavenly gold" is handed over to the Tianlong people.

If things go on like this, civilians will naturally have a bad impression of the world government and naval institutions.

"Lamore!" The weapons store owner winked at him.

But Vivian took a step forward and said, "You haven't answered me yet. Were you the one who hit all these knives on the ground?"

"So what?"

Larmore put his hands on his hips and looked up at Vivian with a look like what can you do to me.

He knew how to forge swords and didn't break the law, so he didn't believe that the navy in front of him would dare to do anything to him in broad daylight.

However, Vivian then added: "Take me to your house to watch you forge a knife. I will give you 500,000 beli as an observation fee. What do you think?"

juvenile:???

...

If you don't make money, you are a fool.

You can earn 500,000 Baileys for nothing just by letting people watch you forge a knife. Naturally, Larmore would not refuse such a good thing.

So he took Vivian around in the alleys of the town for a while, and came to the entrance of a dilapidated factory.

"arrive."

Larmore said, pushing the door open and going in. A strong smell of rust instantly came out from inside.

Vivian covered her mouth and nose and followed Larmore in. The scene that came into view immediately made him frown.

The factory is almost empty.

There was a forging stove and piles of various metal materials placed against the wall. Apart from that, there were two beds and a square table, and there was nothing else.

Glancing at the old man lying on the bed who seemed to be ill, Vivian said to Larmore: "Are you poor? Those knives can be sold for 2 million beli each, but you did this

If you have more, you should be very rich, right?"

"It's not because you have to pay taxes." When he said this, Larmore became angry.

According to the regulations of the franchise country, he needs to pay 50% of his income as tax every year, and not only that, because he has no money to buy a shop, he can only place the prepared swords in the weapons shop.

The boss helps sell it and takes 30% of the profit.

Calculated in this way, after deducting the cost of materials, he can only earn less than 500,000 beli for an average knife.

"May I ask, this old man?" Vivian said.

"The gangsters in the town wanted my grandfather to forge knives for them. After my grandfather forged the knife, they refused to give him any money, so my grandfather got so angry that he came to ask for it, and then they chopped off one of his legs.

"Not only that, they also force-fed my grandpa poison. If I don't pay them another two million beli on time every month, my grandpa will die from the poison."

"Money for life extension plus money for medical treatment..."

Larmore said in an extremely calm tone: "Now you know why I have no money, right?"

silence.

After hearing this story, Vivian wanted to smoke a little, but she glanced at the old man lying on the bed and immediately gave up the idea.

"Didn't you tell the navy about this?" he then asked.

However, Larmore couldn't help but sneered when he heard this sentence.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"When the navy passed by here the past few times, I would come forward to report my experience, but you would either ignore it, or you would verbally deal with it and agree to it, but in the end nothing would happen."

It wasn't until one time, after he reported the situation, that night that he was caught, dragged into an alley, and beaten severely that he was beaten half to death. Only then did he realize how naive he was in the past.

There is actually no difference between the navy and pirates!

This is also the reason why he said those words when he was in the weapons store just now.

"Don't talk about those things that are available but not available. Don't you want to see me forging a knife? Just put the money on the table. Of course, you don't have to give it if you don't want to, as long as it doesn't disturb me."

Larmore said, sighed, turned around helplessly and walked towards the stove.

And at the same time.

Can this be branched out?

Looking at the options that appeared in front of her, Vivian seemed a little hesitant again.
