Chapter 422 Just Like Heaven
"Nicole Robin?"
Sage, who had just come down, was stunned, "What is she doing here?"
"Talk about business."
Hawkins said: "I came here five days ago, and I was accompanied by a girl. There is no need to check, my identity was exposed."
He glanced around and whispered to Sage and Lily who were following: "Revolutionary Army."
Sagar raised his brows and said with a smile: "It's interesting, they asked me to do business. Okay, let's go make arrangements and talk while we eat."
With that said, he took the lead and walked towards the palace.
Lily, on the other hand, thought for a moment, waved to Ah Jin who was disembarking from the boat behind, and ordered:
"Cover the piece of historical text with a black cloth and then send it to the treasure house so that no one can see it."
Of course, things that were hard to come by must not be seen by others, especially a guy like Robin, who was born in O'Hara but was definitely not illiterate.
Not everyone can see the credentials of the Yonko.
At this time, an orange-haired woman wearing a short dress, stockings on her legs, high heels, and a hat with goggles was walking in the streets of Storm City.
She was still holding the ice cream in her hand, licking it as she walked, showing a very satisfied expression.
Kerla, a cadre of the Revolutionary Army and an acting master of Yuman Karate, came here for five days. Except for being under guard on the first day, he was free to walk here for the next few days.
In line with the revolutionary army's emphasis on local intelligence, she would definitely not give up the opportunity to collect intelligence here.
They just know that the Calamity Pirates are doing a good job in trade, especially weapons and warships, and it seems to include a lot of food, which the revolutionary army is in short supply.
In addition to trading here, Kerra also wants to find out the information here and prepare for the future.
Most pirates have already taught them what life is like for the people under a pirate's rule.
Few people dare to break into the territory of the four emperors, and the revolutionary army will not make enemies for nothing. On the way against the Tianlong people, they will add a few more terrible enemies to themselves.
But it has also been heard.
Under Big Mom's rule, the people live the best life, but this best life also requires their own life.
The worst thing, I heard, is under Kaido's rule, but no matter what, no one can go to Wano Country yet.
The territory of the Four Emperors is currently best explored for information related to natural disasters, because he does not prohibit anyone from coming here.
Although the Four Emperors are not the target of their current crusade, it is still possible to get the information first.
But after arriving, Kerla found something was wrong.
Along the way, she heard Robin talk about her younger brother. Although she didn't know much about it, she was certain that he was a man who was informal and heroic, but at the same time he did not hide his demands and greed. Now he is most in line with the times. , neither traditional nor innovative, the most standard pirate.
For such a pirate, she originally thought that people's lives should be okay, at least they shouldn't feel bad when they see her.
But once Shin came over, many things went beyond Korra's expectations.
Not bad.
It's so much better!
"Old man, how are you doing?"
Kerla randomly asked an old man pushing a cart. The cart was filled with some beautifully made handicrafts.
The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Kerla strangely, and didn't answer.
"I'm a reporter. I heard that Storm City is the most prosperous city in the world, so I came to interview it."
Kerra took out a pen and paper with ease, as if conducting an interview.
She has used this trick many times. As long as she pretends to be a reporter, someone will definitely answer the question.
Sure enough, the old man's eyes lit up, he parked the car and said with joy, "Are you a reporter? Then you must record it carefully. You are right, Storm City is this sea, the most prosperous city in the world!"
"The Capital of the Seven Waters and Mariejoia are not as good as our Storm City! It would be a waste for me to be a pirate. I heard that the World Government has an empty throne. Why not invite our sir to it?" , he should be sitting in that position!”
Next, a series of words of praise came out of the old man's mouth. His body, which was still a little tired just now, stood up involuntarily, with a look of pride and confidence on his face.
Words like 'the largest city', 'the ultimate trading place', and 'the golden city' all came out of his mouth.
He is obviously a seller, and these things seem to have nothing to do with him, but once mentioned, it seems that such a person can become proud and tall.
"Don't worry, I am very tired like this, but I can make money no matter how much work I do. I will definitely earn more than three million beli this year, reaching the fifth tax bracket. I will contribute to the master!"
The old man was confident and full of expectations for the future, and he thought:
"I don't want O'Hara's island, it's too expensive, but I can do the other islands. I've thought about the place. There is an island that produces clay. I will buy a piece of land there and build a large estate. , accept a few apprentices to pass on my craftsmanship, and you will be blessed for the rest of your life!”
"You're a good-looking woman. Otherwise, don't be a reporter. The master's palace is looking for maids and dancers. If my daughter hadn't not met the standards, I would have let her go. But, do You are free to do whatever you want, you can make money by doing something else, as long as you stay here."
The old man bared his white teeth and showed a bright smile: "There will definitely be hope!"
Even though it was not the first time that Kerla heard this, she was still shocked.
She didn't know why. She had heard such words countless times. The answers she got every time were almost the same, and the results she got every time made her very sure that life here was very good.
No one was redundant, no one was abandoned. From the prosperous Storm City to the surrounding suburbs, everyone had something to do.
It's not that they were not tired. In addition to verbal questions, Kerla was also observing. Although she couldn't enter the factories in the suburbs, she could see the status of the workers coming out.
She also sneaked into the doors of some houses in the middle of the night and listened carefully to their conversations.
Naturally, some people were tired, and some complained that the work was too heavy and wanted to do something easier. Then, some people really changed jobs the next day without any obstacles.
She even heard that some people had been lying at home for several months until their savings were spent, and then they came out to find a job.
There are all kinds of people, hardworking, lazy, complaining, dissatisfied with the status quo. But the only thing that has never been experienced is suffering.
What is suffering?
Kerla has a say.
She has seen too many countries that are on the verge of collapse, and those who can't even afford to eat because of heavy taxes. The member states have heavy heavenly gold, and some have lost their nationality because of this money and become savages without citizenship.
There are also tyrants in non-member states, who want to become member states and collect taxes crazily, or constantly exploit in order to satisfy the selfish desires of the upper nobles.
That kind of suffering is the suffering of not having enough food and no future.
But the suffering here is hard work, making money, and having hope.
Everyone has hope, all of them have broken away from the most basic state of being full, and are planning for their future lives.
Kerla likes to see this and likes to listen to them talk, even if she doesn't get bored even over and over again.
This is a completely new way of life that Kerla has never seen before.
Just like the heaven in her dreams.
Can this be achieved just by trade?
Or is it because he didn't pay the Heavenly Gold?
She had many questions, and she wanted to ask Norton Sage in person.
If the pirates could do it, couldn't their revolutionary army do the same?
A guy like him, or maybe he could join their revolutionary army
"Oh! The black ship is coming! The master is back!"
The old man who was talking nonstop suddenly paused, looking at the huge black ship that appeared in the port in the distance, he didn't even want the cart, and ran forward at full speed.
"Hey! Your cart!"
Kerla was stunned for a moment, subconsciously pulled up the cart, and followed the old man.
