Chương 493: Smuggling

This kind of behavior is enough for those knowledgeable people to understand the difference between the Moria Pirates and those stupid young people.

For the Rockefeller Pirates.

As long as the other party doesn't mess with them, he can make trouble as he pleases.

But today is different.

Sailing under the banner of the Moria Pirates with such great fanfare, they sailed within the sphere of influence of the Rockefeller Pirates.

This in itself is a provocation.

Caesar's eyes darkened.

Although he is a bit lazy, he will never show mercy to those who dare to provoke the Rockefeller Pirates.

You can tell from his nickname.

The Demon Dragon Caesar only had the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

"You are so brave. Are you declaring war on us?"

Caesar put away his lazy expression and looked at the slowly approaching ship in the distance.

"Do you think you have the ability to challenge the Three Emperors?"

Caesar looked at the three ships approaching him and others with disdain.

"Master, do you want to raise a flag and ask?"

asked the deputy on the side.

"Okay, we should be polite first and then fight. This will make others say we don't follow the rules."

Caesar's eyes flashed coldly.

There is no more frivolity like before.

When the deputy heard this, he immediately winked and waved.

When the flagman saw it, he immediately waved the flag and signaled to the fleet on the opposite side.

And the Moria Pirates in the distance.

There are only three pirate ships flying the flag of Moria.

But Moria himself was not there.

"Captain Logue, the Rockefeller Pirates ahead have raised their flags and asked us why we are here?"

A sailor hurried over and asked.

The captain named Logue was standing on the bow of the ship with an unruly look on his face, looking at the fleet standing opposite him in the distance with a look of disdain on his face.

"What are we doing? It's none of his business what we do. I'm Lord Moria's subordinate. What can the Rockefeller Pirates do to me? Just ignore him."

Captain Logue ignored the warnings issued by the Rockefeller Pirates and continued sailing.

Captain Logue was ordered to obtain a batch of weapons from the kings of the dark world and escort the weapons back to the home of the Moria Pirates.

But because most of the sea areas in the New World have basically been occupied by the Three Emperors, in order to increase their profits, the Three Emperors directly set up checkpoints at key points in each sea area to collect tariffs on passing merchant ships.

This idea was first thought up and launched by Charlotte.

It is really the needs of the war, and we cannot make ends meet. Even if Charlotte has a golden mountain, we cannot build it like this. We must increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

As a result, Charlotte came up with this idea.

Set up a card to collect taxes.

This makes those businessmen who rely on reselling seem very powerless in the face of the tyranny of the Rockefeller Pirates.

Faced with the threat of force, no one dared to refuse.

Even the merchant ships affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates have to pay taxes.

As a result, Whitebeard and Charlotte Lingling looked at it this way.

Why, just allow you to collect taxes, and so can we.

At this point, the Three Emperors Pirates entrenched in the New World began to impose tariffs on their own territory.

In fact, those merchants and those attached to the big pirate's banner didn't think it was anything.

Only those merchants who did not have the support of the big pirates were in bad luck.

It doesn't stop there.

After the three major pirate groups began to collect tariffs, the various small pirate groups sandwiched between the three major pirate groups also began to imitate the customs after occupying an island.

Each and every one of them imposed tariffs in the name of tariffs.

These little pirates don't understand the long flow of water.

As soon as he encountered the fat sheep, he snatched them all without leaving any room.

This resulted in a pirate group as ambitious as the Moria Pirates who wanted to purchase supplies from outside, but was exploited at all levels.

This led to constant smuggling under the power of the Three Emperors.

I would rather go to the territory of the Three Emperors than the so-called peaceful zone.

If someone from the Three Emperors encounters him, he will be fined at most.

The people of the Three Emperors are not like those little pirates who don't know the importance.

This resulted in constant smuggling under the forces of the Three Emperors, especially in the territory of the Rockefeller Pirates.

That's where smuggling is rampant.

Charlotte also issued an order in this regard. If you want to sail in the territory of the Rockefeller Pirates, you must pay a toll.

It's not expensive either. For 100 million Baileys, a ship can be equipped with a flag issued by the Rockefeller Pirates, which is valid for one month.

With this flag, you can basically travel through the entire new world.

No one will offend the Rockefeller Pirates for this flag.

This instantly caused the Rockefeller Pirates' income to skyrocket.

Don't underestimate those businessmen. Some people dare to take risks even if they only have a small profit.

The new world has never been short of war.

Once a war breaks out somewhere, there will be a shortage of various supplies.

There will be countless people driving supplies ships to you.

And this situation affected the pirate groups who wanted to attack the throne of the Three Emperors.

The reason why the Moria Pirates have not yet challenged the Three Emperors is for this reason.

He was driven to the center of the new world by the Warring States Period. Because he wanted to annex the power of the people around him, he started fighting almost every day. Don't underestimate the current Moonlight Moria.

Even though he was driven to the center of the New World by the Warring States Period, he did not give up his ambition for the Pirate King at all, but he also knew that his power was currently slightly insufficient compared to the Three Emperors located throughout the New World.

In order to narrow this gap, Moria and Instead of attacking the Three Emperors directly like those foolish young men, he slowly developed into a behemoth by merging small forces one by one, which required a huge amount of supplies, and his supplies basically relied on supplements from the outside world.

The Moria Pirates simply couldn't withstand the attacks from the pirate groups scattered all over the new world.

These forces that hinder the development of the Moria Pirates are a thorn in Moria's side.

Currently, the Moria Pirates are frantically launching attacks on the other four pirate groups to open up this material transportation channel.

The supplies that are currently lacking are being shipped in from the outside world every day.

The fastest way is to cross the territory of the Three Emperors.

Originally, all I had to do was pay some tolls and put away my flag.

These are also allowed by Moria.

But it turns out that Logue thinks that the Moria Pirates are the strongest, and their boss, Moonlight Moria, is a figure who can rival the Three Emperors.

It's just that they haven't yet been able to take action against the Three Emperors.

The reputation of the Moria Pirates has weakened.

Being famous does not mean that you are weak.

He was still a little worried at first, but after going back and forth three or four times and still not being discovered, Logue became crazy in his heart.

What he didn't know was that this sea area was stationed by Esdeath.
