Pirates: The fake navy in the Straw Hat Pirates
Chapter 126
Seeing that the tax collector fainted, the Straw Hats stopped paying attention to it and chose to land on the island directly.
As soon as they landed on the island, everyone was stopped by a strange short old man.
The short old man was carrying a backpack like a probe, and he looked a little funny with pilot's goggles on his face.
At first glance, I thought it was an unknown funny artist.
The old man stared at the straw hats in front of him, and said
, "Hey, have you ever seen a rainbow-colored mist?"
The old man's words made everyone stunned.
"Rainbow-colored mist, what's that?"
Usopp asked, curious.
"Oh, I don't think I've seen it before...",
the old man took off his goggles and turned away.
But before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Robin.
"This old gentleman, can you make it clear?" The old
man looked back at Robin and said, "I'm a scientist who studies the rainbow-colored fog, and if you want to talk to me, at least a meal!"
At this moment, Weiwei, who was frowning and thinking, suddenly exclaimed, "Rainbow-colored fog, isn't this the book I read when I was a child?"
Robin nodded and said, "Yes, this book is borrowed from the Alabastan Library!"
After hearing the conversation between Vivi and Robin, the short old man suddenly became excited.
"You speak of that book.... Where's it?Bring it to me!
" Robin heard this, looked at Usopp and said, "Usopp, please bring the book on my desk, okay?"
Speechless, Usopp returned to the ship and took the book down.
.....
Soon, the crowd catches up with Luffy and Ike and arrives at a nearby restaurant.
Despite Ike's resistance, Luffy still ordered a lot of food.
Seeing this scene, the restaurant owner couldn't help but remind, "Order so much.... Can you bear
it?" Luffy smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't waste it!" The
restaurateur shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean the meal tax, can you afford it?"
"Do you have to pay taxes for a meal?" asked
Vivi, surprised.
Originally, the restaurateur wanted to complain about the tax problem, but when he saw Henzo, his face suddenly became ugly, and he said, "Hmph! It's not because there is a scammer in the name of research that Witton collects taxes everywhere."
Henzo heard the restaurateur still look at the book in his hand with a blank face, which was exactly the rainbow-colored mist that Vivi and Robin had mentioned earlier.
In fact, the reason why Henzo promised Witton, the great enemy, to help him study the secret of the rainbow-colored fog was because he wanted to rescue his friend who was swallowed by the rainbow-colored fog.
For the sake of his friends, even if he is scolded as a dog by the residents of the entire island, he has no regrets.
Henzo looked down at the rainbow-colored mist that Robin handed over, and after reading it, he shook his head and said, "The content is just a legend!"
In fact, what he didn't know was that the author of this rainbow-colored mist was actually a person who lived in the rainbow-colored fog and was also Henzo's companion.
....
Just when a few people were eating and chatting, the sound of gongs and drums sounded.
Hearing this voice, the people who were still eating leisurely suddenly accelerated the pace of eating.
Luffy, who was chewing food, looked at all this with some confusion, no one was faster than him in terms of eating speed, but... There was too much food in front of him.
Just when a few people were wondering what was going on now, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and then a middle-aged man walked in.
Once inside, the man began to collect taxes for various reasons.
For example, if you still have alcohol in your glass, you will be charged a drinking tax.
If there is still a dish on the plate, the meal tax will be charged.
Moreover, these taxes are forcibly collected, and if you don't want to pay them, the soldiers standing behind the man will be forcibly searched, and if you can't find the money, you will take valuable things from your home to deduct the tax.
.....
Wei Wei frowned, it was the first time she had seen such a tax collection, this was not a tax collection at all, but an open robbery...
Usopp asked with some curiosity
, "Who is this guy?" Hearing Usopp's question, the restaurant owner who hadn't left before he left explained, "This guy is Philips, the son of Mayor Witton, and this annoying bastard always comes over to us to force all kinds of taxes.
As if hearing someone say bad things about himself, Philips looked back, and the restaurateur who had whispered before suddenly closed his mouth.
When he turned around, he saw Henry, and Philips, who originally wanted to tease, was attracted by Luffy, who was eating a lot.
"Yo.... This little brother looks very raw!Eating so much is a lot of taxes!"
Luffy didn't reply, but continued to eat the food in front of him.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Philips narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.
Seeing this, several soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward to take Luffy down and make him pay taxes.
But before they could make a move, Ike stood in front of a few people, "Hey.... I haven't
asked you to collect taxes yet!Why are you embarrassed to ask me for taxes?" Philips was stunned by Ike's words, and then asked, "What are you looking for me to collect taxes, what are you kidding, do you
know who I am?" Ike didn't reply, but asked rhetorically, "Do you know who I am
?" "Who are you?"
Ike smiled, then took out the private navy license and said, "I'm the private navy admiral Ike!".
Immediately, Ike pointed at Luffy and said, "He's the Marshal of the Private Navy!" "
We've always maintained justice and peace on the sea, so it's normal to ask you to collect taxes, right?"
Your family has a lot of taxes to pay!
" "I'll do the math.... A pirate .... If you become the mayor of Liangliang, of course you have to pay good taxes! The tax is not much, just hand over all the money in your family"
Philips was shocked by Ike's words and took two steps back.
Few people on the island know that Mayor Witton is actually a pirate who once invaded Luluja Island, and most of the people who once knew about it did not dare to mention it, and those who dared to mention it were killed by Witton...
But Philips didn't expect this kind of thing to be mentioned by a strange young man.... He suddenly panicked.
Especially since the other party is still a private admiral.
Alas, what is a
private navy? Although I don't know what a private navy is, Philips, who has pirate genes, was still frightened by the words admiral.
"That.... It's my dad's responsibility to pay taxes or something!"
Philips left in a hurry.
He was going to go home and tell his dad Witton about the situation.
....
Ike didn't stop Philips from leaving, after all, he was going
to come to the door to collect taxes in person! Ike planned to come and treat him in his own way, not only to collect Witton's taxes, but also to send him into the city to pick up soap!
