In the East China Sea, there is an island not far from the island of Shuangyue Village. Its name is Sweets. The island is steaming from time to time and is a natural hot spring island.
In the center of this island, there is a hot spring town, and related industries have been developed. Although the industry is not big and not well-known, it is still quite popular in the nearby waters.
For the people nearby, things rarely happen here. Whenever pirates come here, they will be dealt with by the boss here. And every time they kill these pirates, they will raise the skull and crossbones flag to mark their identity.
They are also pirates, but without their bounties, people nearby also like them very much and will not report them to the navy. Instead, they will provide intelligence to these pirates.
For the residents of Tsivetus, these pirates are their natural protectors.
At this time, at the gate of the hot spring village, a man in black formal clothes looked up at the plaque above and the skull and crossbones flag in the lower right corner of the plaque, and raised the brim of his hat.
"Hey, this guest!"
At the door, a waiter dressed in civilian clothes rubbed his hands and smiled: "Do you want to come here to soak in the hot springs? Our Svetus Hot Spring Village is very famous here. In addition to hot springs, there are also steam rooms, saunas, and many supporting facilities.
Oh, guest, you can find everything you want here."
The waiter's winks were full of hints.
"Oh? Is there such a place in the small East China Sea?"
The man smiled and said, "It's so complete, I really want to know who the boss is here."
"Of course Boss Boss is our big hero on Thwaites Island!"
Mentioning their boss, the man beamed with joy and said: "Our boss is a celebrity here, Sam William, a big pirate who provides us with protection!"
"Big pirate?"
The man in black formal clothes looked up at the plaque and said, "The pirate is a criminal, right? How much reward does he have?"
"No, Lord William is different from those pirates. He never goes out to rob, he only protects the safety of our island. Although he is a pirate, he is different from other pirates."
The waiter said: "Sir William has not offered a reward yet. Although I think this is inappropriate. Without a reward, there is no reputation. But Mr. William doesn't seem to like the reward in this regard. Well, anyway, he is a big pirate in our hearts. If he goes to sea
If so, I will follow you!"
"I see."
The black man nodded, said nothing, turned around and left.
"Eh? Why don't you come in and have fun?" The waiter stared blankly at the back of the black formal suit leaving.
Suddenly, a somewhat polite man walked next to him, looked curiously at the side where the waiter was looking, and said, "What are you looking at?"
"Oh Lord Elmira, there was a strange guest just now. He came to ask about Lord William and then left. Well, he was dressed so well. I thought he was a wealthy guest, but he is so stingy."
"Inquiring about William?"
The person named Elmira was stunned and narrowed her eyes, "What does that person look like?"
When the waiter told the man's appearance, Elmira pondered for a moment, then suddenly her eyes widened and she shed a cold sweat. She ran outside without saying a word. Soon, he arrived at the largest house on the island.
"William, the matter has been exposed, we were investigated by the CP organization!"
…
G-3 Fortress.
"Mr. Kuro, CP sent information and said that it has been investigated clearly."
At this time in the office, Crowe reported: "According to the information about 'hot spring bathing' provided by Bucky, CP visited many similar islands and found the skull and crossbones flag on a natural hot spring island called Svest.
The owner of the sign, named Sam William, is very prestigious on the island and in the surrounding area, but there is no bounty."
"No bounty?" Kuro was stunned for a moment, "What kind of pirate would you be if you didn't have a bounty? Continue."
CP has found its target and wants to investigate a person, so of course it won't use such little information.
"Sam William is something special. Mr. Clow, he is your fellow countryman."
Crow's words made Crow blink his eyes.
My fellow countryman?
"Shieldstown?" Kuro asked.
"Yes, he is from Shields Town. He is now thirty-one years old. He went to sea twelve years ago and seemed to have established a pirate group, but he has not become famous. He does not know what he is doing. There is no news. Five years
They landed in Sweets before, settled there and developed the hot spring industry. At the same time, they mainly sold alcohol and other products. There is a wine on the market in Donghai that belongs to them.
Crowe pushed up his glasses and said: "The name of the wine is Stim wine, I have drunk it before."
"Oh? That one, I think I've also drank it. It's from their family." Kuro was a little surprised. He had drunk this wine before in the East China Sea, and it was also sold in the navy. It tasted pretty good, but it had to be
Even if it is good, it is not very good. It is a civilian wine.
"so."
Qrow pondered for a moment, "This guy named Sam William is a bathhouse owner and liquor seller, a pirate with no bounty on his head?"
"That should be it." Crowe nodded.
"What are you picturing?"
Crowley was a little stunned. To be honest, he came from the same town, but Crowley had never heard of this person.
But this is normal. He has been looking for a place to practice every three days since he started practicing. He doesn't go home much. He basically doesn't have any good relationships in Shields Town. He had a high sense of crisis at that time. How could he say hello to people?
, it’s just other people saying hello to him, it’s so normal that he’s never heard of it.
But what is this man trying to do? Isn't he just a businessman? Why should he be called a pirate?
"Tsk, another accessory from the era of great pirates?" Clow could only think of this.
In the era after Roger, everyone felt that it was uncomfortable to go to sea without a name like "pirate", and there was a strange feeling of pride.
Maybe that man is like this too?
“But the cigars are very good.”
Cullo took out the cigar box, opened the box, picked up a cigar with gold and white lines, and said: "Let's do this, for the sake of my fellow countrymen and the fact that there is no reward, give him a way to make a fortune. Gram
Luo, call the navy near that hot spring town and ask them to come over."
"Just tell the man named Sam William that I like this cigar very much. I hope he can make it special for me. I will pay a high price. This thing is worth the price. I asked him to give the pirate flag to him by the way.
, be a good businessman and stop playing pirate games."
This kind of person is a serious businessman except for his name of "pirate". If CP didn't find anything, it means there is no secret.
Of course, it is impossible for Kuro to be so heartless and rely on the word "pirate" to get other people's property. If he can buy it with money, he can buy it with money.
I'm a little tired, so I'll catch up on some sleep and see how much I can write tomorrow, and I'll try my best to update at 70, 89, or something.
