The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

Chapter 77 Inside Story (Please recommend~!!!)

As the bow of the ship hits the buffer strip on the dock, Roger tells the skeleton crew to drop the anchor, then tells them to return to the cabin so as not to scare anyone.

Jumping off the bow of the ship again, Elok looked around the port. Although there is some firelight, it is far from the level of bright lights. The moon in the sky is somewhat incomplete, but still very bright. Makes up for the lack of lighting. The sea of ​​stars in the night sky is very dazzling. It's not like the polluted starry sky on Earth. The stars here are very bright.

In the dead of night, there is only the distant sound of wild cats chirping. Alok pinched his waist and sighed, sighing:

"It's better to be on land!"

"That's not what you said just now, Captain." Roger, who climbed down from the ladder, came to Elok's side and heard the words. "You just said that the sea is better. How freeing. Tsk tsk tsk~~ If I hadn't seen you vomiting, I would have thought it was true."

"So now I'm going to have a midnight snack. Do you have any objections?" Alok turned his head and looked at Roger, his tone threatening.

He curled his lips helplessly, then patted Alok on the shoulder, and Roger said:

"Of course not, Captain. Let's go to the bar."

"Mitsuwa?"

"Of course, only Sanhe is still in business." Roger strode ahead. Looks very familiar with the port.

This made Alok curious. After all, pirates don't come to Port Drol very often. The only time I come here is to rob. So he caught up and asked:

"What did the White Seagull do before?"

"White Seagull?" Roger asked strangely as he walked away. "I used to be a pirate. He committed murder, arson, and all kinds of evil."

"Then why are you so familiar with Dror Port?" Elok asked strangely.

"Is this weird? I am a pirate. Why can't I get familiar with this place? This is like our home. We often come here for entertainment." Roger said as he walked. Then he pushed forward with his lower body.

Ignoring Roger's actions, Alok asked in confusion:

"Uh~~ I think it's quite strange. Aren't you afraid of being caught by the police?"

Roger suddenly stopped, looked at Alok with a strange expression, and said, "What are you afraid of? We are a serious passenger ship. A passenger ship that travels between Guinea Island in the Eastern Continent and Dror Port. Although there is not a single guest on the ship. No, but we still work hard to travel between the two places every day.”

Just saying. Isn't it just hiding as a passenger ship? Was what I just expressed inaccurate?

Eastern Continent? That was a place separated from the Hutt Empire by an entire mysterious sea. Damn, it will take a whole month to get there. I still work hard to go back and forth here every day. It's perfunctory enough to make up lies like this.

Alok shook his head helplessly, passed Roger and walked in front, and said: "From now on, we will also be a passenger ship traveling between Guinea and Drole Port every day."

He coughed slightly and cleared his throat. Roger caught up from behind and struck:

"But I have to warn you, Captain Jack. Your ship is a little too small to be a passenger ship."

"The White Seagull is also very small. And it can't reach Guinaria Island in one day." Airok said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Roger chuckled, "At least it's bigger than your Ghost Pirate Ship."

Then he looked at Alok, who looked a little uncomfortable, and said, "That's right, it's just a cover-up anyway, everyone knows. There are many people who are not doing serious business."

"Oh? Didn't you say there is only one pirate family in the Misty Sea?" Alok looked at Roger and asked doubtfully.

"Since you asked, let me tell you some inside information. Everyone knows this anyway. It's only a matter of time before you find out." He glanced at Alok's side face with unknown meaning.

"Although there is only one pirate in the Mystic Sea, pirates are not the only ones who engage in illegal business." Roger smiled mysteriously. He continued: "Piracy is the most unscrupulous business on the surface. It robs cargo ships and kills people. But haven't you seen what those cargo ships and passenger ships are doing? They are much darker than pirates."

"What for?" Alok echoed in confusion when he saw Roger who looked like a teacher.

This really gave Roger a sense of superiority as an old sailor and gave him more information:

"The 'cargo ship' in our slang refers to the smuggling ships that travel between the Hutt Empire and other empires. Of course, there are also smuggling ships that travel to and from various states. And the 'passenger ship' means the human trafficking ships that travel between various places. "

Looking at Alok's somewhat doubtful eyes, Roger continued: "If they go to and from Dror City and Damia, they abduct women, sell alcohol, tobacco and drugs. If they go to the Eastern Continent, it will be even worse. What? All can be smuggled.”

He looked at Alok with a weird smile and emphasized again: "You can get anything, anything, as long as you want it. The most common ones are guns, ammunition and drugs."

"Really? Are there many such things?" Alok was even more surprised and asked again.

"You can pick any ship and go up and take a look. There are almost all of them." Roger pointed at the cargo ship behind him and said again. "If you don't come into contact with these, you may never know it for the rest of your life."

This~~I really didn’t expect this. Is this also an unspoken rule? I thought the Hutt Empire was a country governed by the rule of law. Unexpectedly, it is only on the surface. The various relationships behind the scenes are very messy.

Why does the God of Order allow unspoken rules?

This is outrageous. Wouldn’t this undermine the foundation of a country?

If only there was so much smuggling and human trafficking.

Won't this shake the population base of a country? It's scary to think about it.

No wonder there are so many missing people every year. The police say they disappeared in the mysterious sea. Who knows where they went?

He shook his head slightly, sighing that life is so difficult. Alok continued to listen to Roger silently.

"So everyone knows what they are doing, and most of them are just joking. If it doesn't infringe on their own interests, then drink together and have fun together. If it infringes on each other's interests, then fight. Until one side dies." Roger continued with an ambiguous smile.

"So, when we choose those cargo ships to rob, we must look carefully. Don't choose those tough guys."

"Oh?" Alok suddenly asked in confusion.

"Many cargo ships have extraordinary people on board. You don't think smuggling and doing those jobs are safe." Roger looked at Alok seriously after hearing this.

"Doing illegal work can earn you more, but of course you have to invest more. It's common to hire a few extraordinary people as bodyguards. Moreover, there are many cases where extraordinary people are captains and bosses. After all, extraordinary people spend a lot of money."

Ahem~ I really didn't think of finding some cargo ships to rob, after all, I can't be considered a real pirate. But if you listen to Roger's words, it seems that pirates are much better than them.

According to the law, those people can die ten thousand times. Hey~

Then isn't it a way to get rid of harm for the people? And save thousands of girls by the way?

"But what? In fact, middle-level extraordinary people will never do this kind of bodyguard business at sea. After all, their own worth is there. On the one hand, they are unwilling to take this kind of hard work, and on the other hand, the boss can't afford to hire them." Roger looked at Alok who was still listening and continued to explain.

"Of course, except for those who are bosses themselves." He said with a smile. Then he stopped talking.

Seeing Roger stopped talking, Alok nodded gratefully:

"Thank you, Roger. This has taught me a lot of inside information. At least I am not a rookie anymore."

"You're welcome. I don't want my captain to be knocked down by other extraordinary people on his first trip to the sea. I will be buried with him then." Roger waved his hand indifferently.

Then he said again in a small inaudible voice: "Just consider it as tuition. I won't pay it back?"

"What did you say?" Alok asked after hearing Roger's mumbling.

"Nothing, Captain." He laughed, patted Alok on the shoulder, pointed to the brightly lit Sanhe Bar in front and said:

"We are here at Sanhe."
