The Sea of ​​Floating Light is a dream paradise belonging to the seaweed race, and of course it is also a nightmare for all sailors. In this warm sea area, in the range visible to the ship's observation field, in addition to seaweed and seaweed, various seaweeds of different sizes and colors can rarely be seen in the area of ​​the Sea of ​​Floating Light. Those islands that are so large that they can be settled for a long time and have fresh water resources are also extremely scarce resources throughout the Sea of ​​Floating Light. Of course, it is impossible for a large sea area to be found even several islands. There is only one reason why people have difficulty discovering these hidden lands for a long time. They are paradises for pirates and are not open to ordinary merchant fleets.

In the middle of the rule of the Light Dynasty, it was also the time when shipping trade between the main continent and the outer sea was the most prosperous. On average, more than fifty merchant ships were plundered by pirates on the Floating Sea of ​​Light.

The pirate fleet that made a lot of money, the supply ports and stolen sales bases that rely on for the plundering operations are these hidden islands far away from the sight of ordinary people. They have white beaches and lagoon reefs. The Mili Atoll, which is swaying in the coconut forest, is also one of the pirate supply ports hidden in the sea of ​​light.

"Oh! Isn't this an old sword-kill Zora? I heard that you gave the Seventh Fleet of the Elf Federation some time ago, and it's quite fast to turn over!"

The scar-faced man who spoke to Sailor Zorra Hegel was shirtless, with his upper body. His angular chest muscles looked like a professional bodybuilder. This person's face was handsome, and he couldn't resist a scar that stretched down from the left forehead to the corner of his mouth, which made his face look like a sneer whenever he looked. Even if he didn't speak sarcastically, he knew that this face was a standard MT style that attracted hatred and monsters.

When they met, they were ridiculed by someone's old scars and ridiculed them. No matter how deep Zora Hegel's scheming was, he could not bear the face. The muscles on his face twitched a few times, raised his hand and slapped them on the table, shouting in a rough voice:

"Stop talking nonsense! Boss, bring the wine quickly."

In the ocean voyage, which is often calculated in months, the number of fresh water and fresh food that the ship can carry is limited and difficult to store. Not every fleet can be luxurious enough to store it in a space bag like Luo Zhengdao. In the New World, space equipment is also relatively high-end magic items. Large-capacity space equipment is even worth more than a battleship. If pirates can afford such luxurious magic props, why should they go out to sea to make a living? The long-distance ships left the supply port and could still eat fresh vegetables and fruits after a few months. Only the great nobles who are not short of money will pursue this extremely luxurious life enjoyment. Pirates and ordinary sailors can only make a fuss when they arrive on the ship, and there is almost no room for picking up three meals.

The food and drinking water carried by the ocean fleet are stored in the bottom warehouse where small creatures such as cockroaches and rats often appear. It is unknown whether it is possible to know that under such a harsh storage environment, fresh food and drinking water will soon become deteriorated and moldy. Even if the fresh water stored in the oak barrel is sealed, it will usually rot and smelly for only two weeks. Cookies that are deliberately baked dry and hard will inevitably produce insects. The salty and hard can be used as bricks to beat people's bacon. Such poor food and drinking water will make it a bad experience, and people who have never tried it personally will never imagine it out of thin air.

For most sailors sailing above the seven seas, drinking ale and cheap strong rum is one of the few happy times in their lives. No matter what the point of view, drinking is much better than tasting dirty water full of rotten smell. Because of this, most sailors have developed the habit of drinking drunkenly, and each person has two large glasses of ale per day, or rum made from the remaining molasses and bagasse in the plantation sugar,

It is one of their main daily benefits. Correspondingly, prohibition is also used as an extremely severe punishment method on the ship. If any bastard offends the captain and the commander of the equities, then deducting his alcohol quota is second only to the severe punishment method of having close contact with the Nine-tailed Cat. I believe that 99% of alcoholics would rather be beaten by a whip than to drink for half a month without drinking. This kind of mental pain is even more than physical pain!

Luo Zhengdao Fleet has been warmly welcomed by local residents in Mili Atoll. In recent days, the goblin fleet has been violently acting like a wolf or a tiger, constantly stimulating the sensitive nerves of merchants and challenging their psychological endurance limits.

There is no doubt that merchants are willing to risk going to the gallows for excess profits, but the death penalty methods of goblins are not just hanging, and their torture methods are even more complicated than many pirates. There are many people in the world who love money, and there are also many people who cherish life. Not everyone is sufficiently aware of the ending of their life torture to death. There are quite a few businessmen who are scared away by the outrageous rumor and brutal customs of goblins, which directly leads to the Great Depression of the Sea of ​​Light. Pirate Group, which cut off its main source of income, had to follow the prey to gradually transfer hunting grounds to the outer sea. Under the chain reaction, Mili Atoll, a supply port with unique golden waterway resources, also suffered a recession for the first time.

After a while, the appearance of Luo Zhengdao, a small pirate fleet, will be particularly welcomed and treated, and it seems that it is not difficult to understand.

"Hahahaha, distinguished guest, welcome to Mili Atoll. We are Pirates Paradise. Please enjoy it as if you were back in your hometown!"

The bar owner who met for the first time greeted him warmly. In Luo Zhengdao, he sounded more like a bad advertising slogan from a resort. He smiled and glanced at the bar's furnishings and said:

"Oh, is it safe here?"

Hearing Luo Zhengdao's questioning question, the bar owner smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth. While wiping the wine glass with a white scarf, he boasted with smugness:

"Hahahaha, of course, there is no need to doubt safety. Do you see the reef outside? It's a natural barrier. Without the water diverter we sent, the Yaling fleet would not even want to break in when it comes."

Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao's face still had no joy. He nodded and said:

"Is that so? That would be better."

Looking out through the bar's simple wooden windows, a golden sun projection was shining on the entire Mili Atoll from the sky. The snow-white beaches and the green warm sea water became more and more beautiful under the sun. The beautiful scenery was as intoxicating as a fairyland on earth. Only the fortress fortress built of gray-white rocks not far away was awesome. Luo Zhengdao really felt that this broken place had the leisurely interest of the old world Southeast Asian island tourist destination.

"Hey, Will, do you want to go to the exchange with me?"

The half-elf beauty greeted at the bar door. Luo Zhengdao opened his mouth wide in surprise when he heard the sound, and asked back:

"Oh, are there any exchanges here?"

After hearing this, Vina Dubov rolled his eyes angrily and amusedly, and said:

"Look at what you said, pirates have to eat. If they don't cash out the spoils, they can't rob a ship of linen and take it back to make their own clothes, and rob a ship of salt and take it back to eat it yourself. When will it be used!"

Before traveling to the new world, Luo Zhengdao had never been engaged in a business of illegal and disorderly discipline. He had only read his career as a desperate person who licked blood from the knife. The film and television works involving pirates seem to focus on outlining the grand and fantasy battle scenes rather than the daily lives of pirates. How to prepare for robbery and solve the problem of selling stolen goods is reasonable. He is not familiar with this business.

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao, who scratched his head, smiled mockingly and said:

"Well, you've said it's reasonable. No matter how much you read, it's better to see the world with your own eyes. To increase your knowledge, you have to see it yourself before you can count it."

After leaving the bar together, Vina Dubov, who was aware of the way, led Luo Zhengdao to walk around the twisty port city for several circles, and confirmed that no one was following them. Their steps stopped in front of a three-story building painted in white. This building can be regarded as one of the most impressive buildings on Mili Atoll.

In the eyes of modern people in the old world, the profession of Pirates is full of mystery. Hollywood has filmed entertainment blockbusters such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" to please the audience, and the filmmakers also make a fortune by themselves.

The term pirate has completely different meanings in the cultural circles of the East and the West. Orientals have never experienced the huge impact of the great geographical discovery and the era of navigation. For them, pirates are those bandits who went out to sea to plunder in strange costumes. The most typical of them is the description of Japanese pirates in Chinese history books. In fact, more than 90% of the so-called Japanese pirates were local maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty. The number of ronin from the Japanese archipelago was not only limited, but also the lower-level roles who hired thugs. The main leaders of the pirate group were all from the Ming Dynasty.

The Zhu Ming Dynasty tried to monopolize the rich profits of overseas trade. Instead, it did not have the idea of ​​restoring overseas trade in the Song and Yuan dynasties, but instead brought down a ban on the sea, trying to put all the benefits of overseas trade into its own pocket.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. A red-headed document cannot stop people's strong desire for wealth, and harsh laws are unable to curb the violation of bans. When the Ming Dynasty was unable to stop the sea, these people were maritime merchants engaged in trade. Once the ban on sea was issued, they turned into pirates, so the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were repeatedly banned.

There is always a reason for Chinese people to have a bad impression of pirates. In the consciousness of Westerners, the image of pirates is much more positive, and pirates have become a material carrier for adventure and enterprising spirit. Just imagine those poor boys who came from humble origins and had nothing to risk taking a sailboat to the sky with the wind and seizing wealth and honor from the distant places. After a few years, they returned home in glory. What a legendary inspirational story! Regardless of whether their source of wealth is legal or whether their means are bad, the story of this poor man turning over and getting rich is very inflammatory. Therefore, in Western culture, the spirit of pirates represents not only being so simple to go out to sea to rob wealth, but more like a great dream that is difficult to practice.

Luo Zhengdao followed Vina Dubov into the exchange gate and entered the exchange that serves pirates and stolen goods. He suddenly found himself in a variety of product displays. This is not a department store. Although many goods are also samples, you have to go to the dock warehouse to pick up the goods. The exchange does not conduct retail sales, and the minimum transaction amount is calculated in units of barrels and boxes.

The knowledgeable exchange owner looked up and saw a gorgeously dressed young human man and a half-elf beauty appear together. He smiled without surprise and stood up to say hello to the two. His attitude was as enthusiastic as if he had seen an old friend:

"You can just look at what kind of goods you want from the two customers. If you want to sell the goods, please remember to bring samples."
