Pirates: The first partner is Makima

The South China Sea, Paparila Island.

The sunny port, with a constant flow of merchant ships, might this be a prosperous town on the surface?

But the people who got off these ships were worried, and the sailors who were responsible for helping at the port were also absent-minded, and five out of ten people were sighing.

Some people kept looking for something in the crowd...

Some people sat on the stone steps and cried with their faces covered after searching in vain, and some people hugged and cried after finding their family and friends.

The happiness of surviving the disaster and the sadness of losing everything.

The people here in the port are all conveying such emotions.

Luo Zhen and Machima looked out of place among the group of people. They were dressed in high-class clothes and had beautiful and handsome faces. Some people would be amazed when they saw them, but more people would be malicious.

This situation was the first time since Machima went to sea.

Machima tapped her chin, looking innocent: "These should be the people who lost their homes in the war, right? The malice is too pure..."

Luo Zhen: "In this world, most nobles are indeed a bunch of blood-sucking insects. They usually exploit civilians, and when disaster strikes, they will push civilians out as cannon fodder and sacrifices without hesitation.

In the eyes of most people, nobles are also a bunch of guys without honor and humanity.

These guys classify us as that kind of people, and we are really hated for no reason."

Machima tilted her head: "Do you want to take the next ship directly to go somewhere else?"

Luo Zhen: "What is Miss Machima's opinion?"

Machima: "I don't think it matters. This is our first stop in the South China Sea. Maybe we can get first-hand information about the war in the South China Sea here."

Luo Zhen agreed with this sentence.

Not caring about these malices at all, the two walked straight out of the port.

After leaving the port, at the entrance of the town, there were many people in ragged clothes and haggard faces on both sides, who were obviously disaster victims.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, and we can see how serious the chaos in the South China Sea is.

Da Da Da——

Accompanied by a messy trot, a short figure ran into Machima's arms.

What caught my eye was a bright red hair.

"Tsk..."

A little dissatisfaction, it sounded like a girl?

"Don't run! Little thief who stole things!"

Not far away, two burly men were chasing after them with knives.

The little red figure didn't seem to be ready to say sorry, but bypassed Machima and ran towards the crowded port.

Machima looked calm, Luo Zhen glanced at her, but there was no movement.

The two big men just ran over.

This was just an unexpected episode.

Luo Zhen: "Is Miss Machima okay?"

Machima shook her head, patted her dusty belly, and raised her lips slightly: "She's a very cute child."

Luo Zhen looked sideways in the direction of the dock, nodded, and then continued to walk into the town.

Machima followed.

The number of people in the town was really exaggerated. The so-called superficial prosperity of the port was completely a phenomenon of refugees pouring in. There were vagrants everywhere in the town. The security soldiers who maintained the town were using guns to drive away those guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

This security was really worrying.

Luo Zhen and Machima naturally attracted the attention of those who wanted to take advantage of them, but at the moment of approaching, a look full of oppression would stare over.

Can eyes kill people?

This is something that only monsters in horror stories can do.

Those guys with bad intentions experienced it personally.

One look made people sweat profusely, and their hearts seemed to weaken. If they dared to offend again... they would only die!

After scaring off several waves of people, Luo Zhen and Machima entered a restaurant.

There was no one else in this restaurant except a waitress and a male boss. It was out of tune with all the chaos outside, as if it was not a scene in a town.

(Interesting...)

Luo Zhen's mouth corners rose, and then he sat down at the bar with Machima.

The man behind the bar, with his arms crossed, looked about 40 years old, with an eye mask on his right eye, exuding a vicissitudes of life, full of storytelling, and a state of closing his eyes to rest, not like a simple character.

"

Hello, what would you like to order? "

The man's voice was very attractive, and with that handsome face, he was really an old man with flavor.

Machima took the menu from the girl who came over, took a quick look, and ordered a steak and a cheesecake, and then asked the man to mix two of his best cocktails.

The waitress stood aside and looked at the couple with shining eyes.

What beautiful people, this sister is so beautiful, her eyes... so wonderful, and her figure is even more enviable.

That big brother is even more amazing. He is simply a male god, wow... I wish he was my boyfriend, hehe...

The purple-haired girl was thinking about it, with a cute and innocent expression on her face.

"Xibeier..."

The man looked over with a stern look.

"Hey!

The girl was startled, stood at attention and saluted, and then slipped away.

The boss put down his arms and began to mix the wine skillfully, looking very skilled.

Luo Zhen crossed his hands and covered his face: "Boss, is the South China Sea so chaotic?"

The boss did not raise his head and replied slowly: "Three months ago, the Kingdom of Baron broke out in turmoil due to the problem of unpaid wages. Later, the Kingdom of Lanier and the Kingdom of Itiya intervened in the civil strife in Baron.

However, this was just an excuse.

The war broke out, and Lanier and Itiya burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.

Two months ago, the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Babania was poisoned at a dinner party again, and the whole country was in an uproar. The old king was old and terminally ill, and the remaining The three sons started fighting for the throne again.

Each of the three sons brought troops from their mother's country and started a war on the land of Babania.

This involved three more countries, and with it came the alliance of interests among these countries. Anyway, the turmoil sweeping the South China Sea has been getting more and more intense.

It just so happens that there are still a few Tianshangjing in this country that have not paid all the money this year, and they may not be able to keep their position as member countries, so the government is even more lazy to care. "

This simple sentence has almost described the situation in the South China Sea.

In fact, it is normal.

The member countries of the World Government will be recognized and protected by the government, but in fact, the government has never really taken action, unless it is a very wealthy and rich country that can invite the government.

It is good for a poor small country to pay all the Tianshangjin and get recognition, but don't expect the government to spend energy to deal with the troubles of those countries.

Navy?

The navy is dedicated to dealing with pirates and generally does not interfere in the affairs of other countries.

So...

Is the Explosive Pirates that Garp mentioned behind all this?
