Chapter 184 Tickets
"I can't handle this kind of enemy."

On the distant house, Borsalino placed his hands in a circle on his eye sockets, like a small telescope.

He said this softly, feeling a little hesitant inside.

"Forget it. I'm not a good person. How can I save so many people? Why would I risk my life for such a small salary every month? There's nothing good to gain."

After he finished speaking, Borsalino turned into light and slowly disappeared, and his whereabouts disappeared.

...............

Liku Royal City.

This is a rather old small fortress that can be traced back to the sea nine hundred years ago, when it was one of the main fortresses of the Don Quixote family.

But later it was occupied by the Liku royal family, so it was renamed.

"Oh no, Dad. The music square in the west has been attacked by pirates. Send someone to rescue the people there quickly!"

Scarlett arrived at the capital of the Riku Kingdom and saw her father, Rikudold III, leaving, and shouted to attract attention.

Dold turned around and saw that it was his eldest daughter Scarlett and said:

"Scarlett, you went out to play again? I've told you so many times, Dressrosa is very dangerous right now! There are crazy pirates everywhere pretending to be ordinary people to do gangster activities. What if something happens to you!"

"I know, I know, but now let's send troops to the music square in the west! If we go too late, the lives of the people there might be in danger!"

Scarlett was of course aware of her father's good intentions, but she herself was a person who could not sit still, and the Riku royal family was famous for fighting!
Even her mother met Dold in battle.

"Huh! You are really... Never mind, sooner or later I will find someone to take care of you! I am on my way to solve this matter now. The Kingdom Army has already assembled. Go back to your room and don't make me worry!"

Dold said unhappily, then waved his hand and asked two soldiers to come and stand behind Scarlett. He then put on a blue cloak, put on a gladiator helmet, picked up a round shield and a long sword, and slowly left.

The situation in the New World has gradually become clear. The stabilized pirate Big Mom is expanding outward frantically, and the same is true for Whitebeard Newgate.

Shiki the Golden Lion is a pirate who occupies the first half of the Grand Line and two sea areas, forcing some pirates who are unwilling to give up their freedom to expand outward or even lurk in the kingdom to find their own way out.

This is the case in Dressrosa now, with at least 5% of the country's population being flooded in by pirates.

Now there is another pirate invasion that is obviously not a simple one.

Dold was very tired. Perhaps he should find a helper, or ask for help from the Dontata tribe in the Greenbit Forest on the uninhabited island "Greenbit".

He gathered his body and went to the foot of King Liku's city. Behind Dold were three hundred strong warriors of the kingdom's army, who followed him in an orderly manner.

He raised the long sword in his hand:

"For Dressrosa! Drive out those invading pirates! Kill them all!"

"For Dressrosa!"

"Kill them all!"

"For Dressrosa!"

"Kill them all!"

A team of three hundred people walked at full speed on the empty street, with Dold leading the way, and the group soon arrived at the music square where the incident occurred.

It is very quiet here at the moment. The people around have retreated, leaving only those who are tied up and shivering in the invisible barrier, and those who are outside holding Baileys to redeem their families.

There were adults, children, and even old people, but there were no young and beautiful women. Yes, everyone knew what pirates were, and young women were also a kind of currency, and their face value was very high.

"Please, my child's name is Butelu, here is 100,000 Baileys, please let him go!"

A middle-aged man held a stack of Baileys with some smaller denomination coins on top.

There are wrinkled ones, brand new ones, and even more worn-out paper Baileys that have been used time and time again.

"Alas, the sea is not peaceful right now, and that's why our pirate group resorted to this desperate measure. In fact, our captain is a very kind person, and he only plundered for our food and supplies.

In this way, the ticket price for the child will be halved. Keep the 50,000 Baileys and live well. We will come again!"

A pirate who was in charge of collecting the "tickets" shook his head, took out a 10,000-dollar bill from the one the man had handed over, and some other smaller-denomination bills, totaling nearly 50,000, and returned it to him.

He patted the confused man on the shoulder and shouted behind him:

"Who is called Bute Lu? Your father is here to redeem you. Come out quickly and don't waste everyone's time!"

"I, I, I, I'm Butelu!"

"Bullshit, I am Bute Road, Dad, take me home!"

"Wow, wow, dad, I'm Butelu, I'm just swollen from being beaten up, please take me away!"

Dozens of people began to stir, including two adults who looked strange. Some children had been staying with the adults, but for some reason they stood up and rashly took their places.

The scene became chaotic for a while, but due to the weapons in the hands of the guarding pirates, they did not dare to act too recklessly.

The ugliness of human nature is fully revealed when faced with life and death.

Some of them were anxious, some were being ordered around, and some simply couldn't afford the money and wanted to take a gamble.

"Well, go in and find it yourself."

When the pirate who collected the tickets saw this situation, he pointed behind him and signaled the man to go in and find his child.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

The man bowed, thanked repeatedly, and then rushed into the white barrier in a panic. The barrier that even ordinary swords could not damage seemed to open a path for him, allowing him to move forward unhindered.

However, the man did not notice that the pirate who collected the tickets had a slight smile on his face, but it quickly disappeared. He continued to collect tickets from other people, and then let them go in and find their families in a similar way.

Soon, as time passed, the man successfully came out with a child.

But when he was about to leave, a long knife blocked his way.

The pirate who sold the "tickets" earlier said slowly:

"One adult is offered 100,000 Baileys. Sir, you can keep the child here first, then pay 50,000 Baileys to leave first, and then use another 50,000 Baileys to buy a ticket for your child."

"You! I...but!"

"No problem. This is the rule. Since you have entered the territory designated by my captain, you must buy a ticket to enter and exit! Otherwise..."

The pirate put away his sword, held it in front of him and looked at it for a few seconds, glanced at the Kingdom Army standing still not far away, and then looked at the man with sharp eyes.

"Otherwise... just become our hostage. This is also a way to survive."

Sorry, I got a little addicted to playing World of Warcraft today.
