Chapter 174 How to Go to Sea Legally
Fan fiction is all a lie. This is a legitimate human auction house. The items being auctioned are only slaves. There are no famous swords or devil fruits.
After searching the entire venue relying on the effect of invisible ink, Zhang Da came to this conclusion .
They dared to say that because they even pried open the safe in the chief auctioneer's disco room, and found nothing but some dirty money.
Tom had pried open the safe with a can opener, which seemed no more difficult than opening a tin.
Zhang Da also chose to pack up the dirty money and take it away. He used part of it as severance pay for slaves and the rest as a navigation fund to rob the rich and help his own poor.
If you really think about it, he actually contributed a little to the rescue of so many people in the past, and now it's just the right time to make up for the loss.
When they found the place where the slaves were held, Zhang Daye and his companions were a little surprised, because it was the first time they saw the Long-Handed Tribe in person.
It looks quite strange that the arm has one more joint than normal people.
Apart from this special race, the others are probably pirate captains, dancers with outstanding looks, maids who are good at housework, etc. The most common label is "strong adult man".
After untying their collars one by one, they were allowed to leave on their own and they were kindly reminded that if they were chased and had no other options, they could go to a bar in 13GR. However, the chance of survival was only 50% if they went there, so they had to choose carefully.
Looking at the remaining pirates who were knocked unconscious, Zhang Da was also a little tempted. The pirates who could be sent to the auction house for solitary confinement basically had a bounty, which basically started at tens of millions.
Because Shark Pepper didn't show up, I don't know the details - the invisible ink didn't seem to treat Shark Pepper as a human being, so it didn't work when applied on him.
So Zhang Da simply let him and Rui Mengmeng stay on the boat to cover their alibi.
This afternoon, many boatmen and guests who went to repair the boat saw that Zhang Daye and Altria fell asleep while sunbathing while playing cards with Rui Mengmeng. What happened in other places had nothing to do with them.
What they saw at first was a real person, but later it was replaced by a dummy made by Tom, which was put on a big sun hat and covered with a blanket, making it unrecognizable.
This was not enough, Zhang Da also planned to turn the auction house into an explosion caused by the chief auctioneer, Mr. Disco, who was smoking near the kitchen and accidentally ignited the gas.
It would be best if this matter had nothing to do with him, Zhang, and also nothing to do with the 'Night Nightmare'. In addition, the sheriffs of several nearby islands can prove that Zhang Da is usually busy catching thieves at night, and has nothing to do with the 'Night Nightmare'.
Altria agreed, saying that gas explosions often occurred in Fuyuki City, and this common phenomenon should not be too noticeable.
Thus, on October 14, 1510 in the Haiyuan calendar, there was a loud bang on , and this "job security center" that had witnessed countless ugly transactions was reduced to ruins.
Many people stopped to watch the scene and were shocked after roughly estimating the location of the explosion. Someone actually dared to do something there.
People who were well-informed immediately guessed that it was the Night Nightmare. Besides being amazed at the Night Nightmare's courage, they were also a little surprised that the Night Nightmare would actually take action in the daytime?
The people who had just escaped from that place took a deep look at the fire and smoke over there, then turned around and continued to run. Many people cried while running, and then laughed while crying:
That fire is the Radiance! Those invisible people are the most dazzling light in the world!
Not long after, Zhang Daye, Altria and Tom "woke up" on the boat.
Zhang Da also looked at the sky and felt it was very hot: "This kind of weather is most suitable for eating iced watermelon. I'll go get some from the refrigerator."
Suggestions about food are rarely rejected, so Altria and Tom took the initiative to help get a few watermelons from the refrigerator.
After cutting one neatly, Altria picked up a piece and was about to take a bite, but was stopped by Zhang Daye.
Zhang Da also gave her half a watermelon and a spoon in exchange for her puzzled look: "Try eating it this way?"
Altria scooped up a small piece of watermelon, put it into her mouth, and closed her eyes happily.
Tom held half a watermelon and tried to take a bite of it, and gradually he experienced the joy of eating watermelon in this way.
Rui Mengmeng and Shark Chili were not interested in this way of eating . They just picked up a petal each and took big bites of it.
Zhang Da also brought out some melons on a tray and called out to the nearby boatmen, "Uncle Goodman, and everyone else! Does anyone want some melons?"
"I want one!"
“I want one too!”
"Thank you, bro!"
"I should thank you all for helping to watch the boat these past few days."
That afternoon, no one knew about the Radiant or the Dire, and everyone was just an ordinary spectator.
Then that night, Zhang Da also suffered from insomnia.
"Who said listening to the sound of the waves helps you sleep?" Zhang Da also yawned with dark circles under his eyes. His first night on the boat was a terrible experience. "Tom, please help me boil two eggs while you make breakfast."
"I slept very well, didn't I?" Rui Mengmeng asked, "Boss, didn't you say that you drifted on the sea with Teacher Tom for a few days before? How come you are not used to it?"
"Maybe it was because I was hungry and tired at that time. I am still used to sleeping in a quiet place."
Altria asked, "Should we delay the voyage until you can get used to it?"
"No, with my current physical condition, it won't be a big problem." Zhang Da also said, "I have finished what I need to do. I will leave after saying goodbye to Uncle Goodman."
Things that needed to be done included hanging up the traveling sign on the door of the tavern again, moving the remaining wine to the ship, and saying hello to the wine merchant Gragas.
Old Bob and a few of his friends also stopped by on their way to purchase goods. The milk order for the little girl Mu Ke was naturally cancelled. As an apology, Zhang Da also gave her a necklace from Fishman Island.
In addition, law-abiding citizens like Zhang Da also have to do an important thing before going out to sea, which is to go to the naval base to register the ship's style, name and flag.
The conscientious Lieutenant Colonel T. Peng also kindly reminded them that when they legally enter the member states after going out to sea, a tax will be collected. That is the way that migrant populations such as businessmen pay the "heavenly gold".
The specific amount is decided by the member states themselves, and the world government has no control over non-member states.
The advantage of paying taxes according to the rules is that if you encounter any accidents at sea, you can always ask for help from the nearby navy, but the extent of their help depends on the character of the base commander.
Zhang Da also wrote down the precautions one by one, not for asking for help, but just because he didn't want to be mistaken for a pirate for no reason one day.
