Chapter 13 Straw Hats: Where is our popularity?(1/4)
The Chambord Islands, located in front of the Red Continent in the middle of the Great Line, are known as the "Island of Departure Again."
This island is located near Marineland, the headquarters of the Navy, and not far from the Holy Land of Mariejoia, so it is often visited by Celestial Dragons.
There are many "Archman mangroves" growing here. Because the roots of the mangroves need to breathe, the dense roots will always be exposed on the sea, forming the Shampoo Islands.
The island is composed of 79 huge mangrove trees, all of which are numbered to divide the areas.
There are towns and facilities at the root of each tree, and their functions are different.
1st to 29th: There are mainly human trafficking shops, human auctions, illegal zones, etc.
30th to 39th: Mainly include soap bubble park, etc.
No. 40 to 49: There are mainly tourist areas, specialty shops, etc.
No. 50 to 59: Mainly shipyards, coating craftsmen, etc.
No. 60 to 69: Mainly include naval garrison, government entrance and exit, etc.
No. 70 to 79: There are mainly hotel streets, etc.
The trunks of mangroves are marked with numbers, which are clearly visible at a glance.
"I really don't understand why the green algae-headed swordsman would get lost in a place like this."
Renn checked the number on the mangrove tree and complained.
He is now in Area 49, and going down seems to be the shipyard and the coating area for craftsmen.
But he didn't need coating, and he didn't think he could just meet Pluto Rayleigh who had become an old coating craftsman there.
Naturally, he chose to go left, to the specialty area, Bubble Park...
This is a very magical and beautiful island, with large and small bubbles floating in the air. They become colorful under the scattering of sunlight, making people feel like they are in a dream kingdom.
This is the bubble formed by the expansion of the resin due to air when the roots of the mangrove tree breathe.
These bubbles are very elastic and difficult to burst, at least near the islands.
While walking on the soft grass, Ren saw a large bubble expanding from the surface of the ground and sat on it.
The bubble bounced a few times, but it was still suspended, carrying him around slowly.
"Sir, do you need to buy a bubble car?"
Next to him, a tall and thick man saw this and immediately came over to sell the bubble car.
The bubble car is a simple windmill device. It is put into the bubble and pedaled to create wind force, so that the bubble floating in the air, which is not stressed, can be pushed forward.
The middle-aged vendor had a broad smile. He took off the low-quality cigarette in his mouth and introduced enthusiastically:
"Bubble cars are very cheap. For only 10,000 Baileys, you can own this magical and convenient vehicle and use it to fly around the world..."
"Don't be ridiculous, brother."
Renn sneered, "Although I haven't been back for five years, I am a local, thank you."
"Dry!"
The middle-aged vendor couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, turned around and left without saying a word.
Bubbles are only adapted to the climatic range of the Argi mangroves.
Once the bubble leaves the climate zone of the Shampoo Islands, the resin component will explode because it cannot fully exert its power, and the same is naturally true for the bubble car.
Unless you are a local, once you buy a bubble car and leave the Shampoo Islands, it will become a piece of junk.
Vendors selling bubble cars like to slaughter the fat sheep that have just arrived.
Don’t underestimate 10,000 Baileys, the cost of bubble cars is relatively low.
A small businessman who deceives ten out-of-towners earns 100,000 beli a day, 3 million a month, and more than 30 million a year... After deducting the cost, it is still a profit.
By analogy, it is more profitable than cell phone stickers...
“Wei Bao, fresh Wei Bao!”
Beside the street, the owner of the specialty shop shouted loudly.
"Give me ten, stuffed with beef, thank you."
Ren was seduced by the scent and immediately stopped. He looked at the freshly baked bags in the steamer and paid for one.
Weibao is a steamed bun.
The reason why it is called Wei Bao is because it is a bun on the Great Line.
In the same way, there are also Weibing, Weitiao, Viagra... cough cough.
"Mmm, it smells so good!"
While eating the beef stuffed buns, Ren walked towards his home.
He owns real estate here and is a proper local.
Because the Francis couple were indeed real people. They were indeed explorers from the Chambord Islands and died in a shipwreck.
Of course, they have no children at all, and Ren was programmed and inserted by the system.
He walked leisurely to Area 16, and was stopped as soon as he entered an alley.
"Ren? How dare you come back, you damn liar?!"
The person who stopped him had a sharp mouth and a monkey's cheek, and a sinister eyebrow and a rat's eye. He looked very cunning and insidious.
But he is very tall and intimidating.
This man's name is Pittman, the boss of the "Hound Pets", a human trafficking gang in the Shampoo Islands. He is staring at Ren with a surprised and extremely angry look.
Don't underestimate him, he is the trafficker who originally kidnapped the mermaid Kemi, and indirectly caused the incident of Luffy fighting the Celestial Dragons.
"I've missed you so much these years!"
Pittman reached out and grabbed Ren's collar, and said with fierce eyes, "I think about it day and night, and I can hardly sleep!"
Listen to these words of tiger and wolf.
"Sorry, I'm not gay."
Ren swatted his hand away, took a few steps back, and stared at him very unhappy, "Also, who are you? I don't even know you!"
"Don't you know? I know your stinky face turning into ashes!"
Pitman sneered and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid. I heard your shit was reheated and became smelly again, so I came to you with my nose covered!"
Renn: "..."
Three consecutive qualities, very powerful.
"Why didn't you say anything?"
The trafficker Pittman was furious and asked, "Do you think that by remaining silent, you don't have to pay back the 20 million Baileys you owe me?!"
Renn: "..."
Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings, he wanted to say that he never lent him any money...
No, there was no such person as Renn before.
But I think people won't believe it.
It was impossible to pay back the money, Ren shrugged and reminded deliberately:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I said, haven't you read the newspapers in the past few days?"
Please note, he is now a big pirate with a bounty of 500 million beli.
"Looked at it."
"and you……"
"Hahahahahaha..."
Pittman laughed heartily and said with a sarcastic face, "You don't mean to say that you are the great swordsman Wren, do you?
Don't be ridiculous, they just happen to have the same name, why don't you just take a pee and look in the mirror!
You are ugly and mischievous, and you still want to pretend to be a boss. Does your father know that you are so awesome? If you had one-tenth of the skills of the great swordsman Ren, you would not be chased by the navy like a lost dog.
Jump down!"
"..."
It’s another three consecutive rounds of quality, and a tic-tac-toe has appeared on Ren’s forehead, “Speak well, little friend.”
"Is the debt still justified?"
Pitman looked disdainful, "Do you think you can be arrogant with a little swordsmanship and a few kilograms of strength? Do you know how many people you have offended? If you are a grandson, please stop pretending to be an uncle to me. Believe it or not, I..."
Bang!
Without any warning, a sandbag-sized fist quickly enlarged in front of Pittman, hitting him so hard that his face was distorted!
His body instantly flew sideways and hit the wall. His body was embedded in the wall of the alley, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on it.
