The soldier dragged the store owner down the street toward the base.
Countless people along the way paid attention to this matter.
They woke up from a dream and remembered what the navy was. It was an institution of violence and an army formed by the world government.
Fighting pirates is the purpose of this army being formed, so there is no doubt that the navy wants to fight pirates.
They have enjoyed the pirate economy for too long and completely ignored this point.
If you insult the navy because the navy attacks pirates... just detain the pirates and take them away directly.
Moreover, the merchants on this island are not clean to begin with. They are just doing business with pirates.
If you want to investigate, you can directly seal it up and then throw the person into jail.
There may not even be a place to cry out grievances.
The naval base is largely autonomous. If the base commander wants to take action, they really have no place to complain...
Who is this person in the hall who is suing me!
…
Uta walked out of the shop angrily.
"Why, Luffy is obviously doing good things, why are they so hostile to you?"
"There are too many third-rate pirates on the streets. It's easy to get into trouble. They will steal residents' things and run away, and they will also bully people. Luffy is doing a good deed!"
"But everyone doesn't like Luffy anymore, why!"
Doubts and dissatisfaction filled Uta's chest. She was a kind-hearted and empathetic girl with a common problem among artists.
As he spoke, Uta's eyes turned red and watery.
"Because he is a businessman, it is normal for this to happen." Noqigao said to Uta with a normal expression.
"Businessmen only care about money. Pirates can give merchants a lot of money, so they will hate Luffy who drove away the pirates."
"We are ordinary residents, so we will be very grateful to Luffy for driving away the pirates." Nami continued.
"Aren't we all the same?" Uta asked.
She has a pirate's perspective, so in her eyes, residents and merchants are weak people who will be bullied by third-rate pirates. From this perspective, to Uta, everyone is the same .
"Don't worry, it's normal to be hated. Even Bailey, not everyone will like him. For example, I'm not interested in Bailey."
Luffy touched Uta's head. Her rabbit hair had completely fallen down due to her depression.
There is a saying that this kind of Uta has more charm and becomes more beautiful.
Luffy still wanted her bunny hair to stand up though.
Luffy grabbed her bunny hair and helped her stand up.
The girl looked at him with misty eyes.
"Obviously Luffy suffered such serious injuries in order to defeat these third-raters, but they still hate Luffy..."
"It's so unfair!"
"Uta, it's normal for them to hate me, because I hurt them." Luffy said.
"Eh?"
"This kind of harm is not direct, but indirect. The pirates brought them a lot of money. I drove the pirates away, so they didn't have the money the pirates brought them. This is a kind of harm to the merchants. "
"Luffy didn't take their money! They just lost the money the pirates gave them!" Uta was dissatisfied.
"Their own money is still there, not less!"
"Because the pirates are always there, they always have the money given by the pirates.
The civilians don't have any money from pirates, so they won't have any dissatisfaction with me driving away the pirates. "
"For businessmen, making less or not making money is a loss in itself, so they will feel that I have hurt them."
Luffy simply told Uta why he was hated.
"Businessmen are too annoying..."
"Businessmen are too annoying..."
"Nami also hates businessmen. There are obviously many books in the bookstore, but Nami can't even take a look at them!" Nami said to Uta with a smile.
"Idiot Nami, why do others have to show you for nothing?" Nokigao said.
"Off!" Nami made a face.
Luffy bought a glass of orange juice and handed it to Uta, "Businessman..."
Just as he was thinking about speaking simply, five or six young people quickly surrounded him.
"What do these people do?"
Luffy looked at them strangely.
"It was you who chopped our boss to death!" the young man said fiercely to Luffy.
"Too many people have died in my hands. I don't know exactly who they are, but they must be pirates." Luffy twisted his neck.
Apart from cutting down some pirates to practice his sword and increase his experience against enemies, he didn't cut anything else.
But it's amazing that there are still people who dare to stand in front of him like this, and they are very weak at first glance.
These people are about fifteen or sixteen years old, probably.
"You guys don't want to live anymore, do you?"
The marine following Luffy shouted loudly.
"Your Highness, these people are local gangs." Haibing explained.
"Gangster?"
Gangsters are also products of wealthy towns, and gangsters are a bit special.
They don't have a bounty on their head and they are not pirates, so the navy usually doesn't care about gang affairs.
The gangsters are left to the Sheriff.
But...can the Sheriff control gangs? cannot.
So the gang has become a very strange product that no one can control.
In large countries, the king's army will deal with gangs. Anyway, the navy usually ignores gangs.
Unless gangsters go to sea, their profession will change to pirates, they will have wanted orders, and the navy will take the initiative to take action against them.
"Luffy! Today I will avenge my dead boss!"
The gang members shouted as they simultaneously took out their muskets and pointed them at Luffy and his companions.
In an instant, the silver moon flickered, and Wang Jian fell into the scabbard with a click.
"What kind of strange species are gangsters?" Luffy asked, grinning.
Because of pulling out the knife, the originally healed wound opened up some more.
Under normal circumstances, this thing was rampant and domineering over the West Sea. He didn't remember it very clearly.
"Your Highness, gangs are generally made up of local people. They are gangsters who make a living by collecting protection fees from shops on the street. Occasionally, some gangs will become brothers with pirates, but generally they will not go to sea to become pirates..."
Haibing explained that there are gangs in Rogue Town. In the original plot, Luffy's younger brother, Bartolomeo, is a gangster from Rogue Town. He rules the island including Rogue Town, one hundred and fifty The underground forces in several towns only went to sea.
And this guy is Luffy's biggest fan. Even if Luffy is the enemy of the whole world, he will stand behind Luffy.
As for why he is the enemy of the whole world... This guy used Luffy's name to declare war on his territory, and even burned the red-haired pirates' flag to declare war on Shanks on Luffy's behalf...
Very classic, my idol's idol, not my idol.
"Look, businessmen also have to pay protection fees. There is a reason why they need money." Luffy said to Uta.
