The pirates who can make it all the way here are the elite among pirates.
From the four seas to the Grand Line, they completed the first half of the journey, plundering along the way, and their hands were stained with countless blood.
Li Zhong was walking around.
Although it is a lawless area, it is not completely without rules.
Otherwise the whole thing would be a mess.
The pirates still have to live here for a period of time. Even if it is just to get a good night's sleep, there are certain unspoken rules here.
For example, some market stalls have a rule that prohibits physical contact.
Pirates sell stolen goods for money here, and merchants or other entities from outside who want to buy goods at a low price will trade here.
Most of the things here are not worthy of an auction, but are of some value.
Li Zhong has already found out through his Observation Haki that the next larger auction will be held next week.
So before next week, Li Zhong can only shop here.
Walking through the market, Li Zhong was not wearing a navy uniform, but instead casually pulled on a short-sleeved shirt and a long windbreaker.
People of all kinds passed by him, and Li Zhong's eyes swept across the stalls.
Blood-stained gemstone jewelry, burly fish-man slaves with lifeless eyes, human slaves, and gadgets of unknown use, these kinds of things occupied the majority of the stalls in the market.
Then there were the people selling swords and guns. Judging from the degree of wear and tear on those weapons, it was obvious that these pirates had snatched them from their peers.
In addition to these, there are various minor contraband items, addictive drugs and the like that are prohibited by the world government from being sold.
Of course, the pirates looted much more than this, they just took those that could be consumed internally or were easy to sell, and they would not put them here for sale cheaply.
Li Zhong stopped and stopped in front of the stall of a middle-aged pirate with a fat face.
He pointed to a fist-sized piece of wood on the stall and asked, "How much is this?"
"Sir, you have good taste. This is..."
"You don't need to introduce it, I know what it is, just quote the price directly."
The pirate with a face full of flesh looked at Li Zhong's tall figure, thought for a moment, and then said, "2000 million Baileys."
In fact, his psychological bottom line price is 200 million Baileys, but when doing business, no one would quote the lowest price at the beginning.
Both sides were asking for a sky-high price and paying on the spot. The pirates thought that if they were lucky, they might be able to close the deal at 500 million Baileys.
Don't be fooled by his fierce appearance, he is actually the most eloquent person in his own pirate group.
That's why he was assigned by the captain to sell goods here. He believed that with his eloquent tongue, he would definitely gain something.
He is very motivated.
Because the captain promised him that as long as he sold well, he would give him a commission based on the payment for the goods!
Even if it's not because of the captain's orders, he will work hard for his own pocket!
When Li Zhong heard the price, he blinked and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, that's the price."
what?
After a moment of hesitation, the pirate who was setting up the stall broke into a smile, making his already fleshy face look even more ferocious.
But he waited for a while, but the tall man opposite did not take out the money.
The man opposite looked around, as if looking for something.
…Could it be that he came here with his companions and he is not responsible for the money?
The pirate felt uneasy, thinking, could this business be a lie?
Generally, those who are in charge of money are very shrewd and I am afraid they will not agree to this deal.
Just when he was worried about gains and losses.
Li Zhong finally found a suitable target.
"This is exactly 2000 million, not a cent more, you don't need to give me the change."
Before the middle-aged pirate could react, the man waved.
Then a head, still flowing with warm blood, flew into his arms!
Not far away, a headless body fell to the ground with a thud!
----
It's a little late today_(:з」∠)_
Chapter 367: Collapse and sell out
silence.
The originally bustling pirate market fell into silence as the headless body fell to the ground.
In this area, the vendors who set up stalls are all pirates who live on the edge of a knife, and the buyers who come with money are mostly not good people either.
In order to ensure a smooth transaction, both parties tacitly established an unspoken rule that no bloody conflict would occur here.
And when this unspoken rule is broken...
Everyone looked over and looked at the stall owner, the middle-aged pirate, who was holding the head, as if they were looking at a dead person.
Feeling everyone's gaze, he, who had originally had a ferocious look, now looked panicked. The stark contrast in his reactions seemed a little funny.
"No, it's not me!"
"It's him! He did it!" The pirate boss hurriedly threw the pirate's head, which was still open, aside and pointed at Li Zhong who was picking up the broken wood.
Facing everyone's unanimous gaze, Li Zhong acted as if no one was around and just watched with interest holding the piece of wood.
Li Zhong knows this world very well, but not enough. He doesn't know much about those secrets, but he basically knows all the information that ordinary people can obtain, including the origin of this piece of wood.
This is a fragment of the precious tree Adam, the toughest tree in the world.
Judging from its shape, this small piece of wood must have once been part of the keel of a ship, and no one knows how it was broken.
Given the strength of the treasure tree Adam, it is not easy to break it.
The price of Baoshu Adam has always been very high. If you want to build a ship made of Baoshu Adam, the material cost alone will be hundreds of millions.
This is only the case when the ship is not large. Otherwise, only important parts such as the keel can be made of Baoshu Adam, and other parts can be made of ordinary wood.
The most important thing is not that it is expensive, but that this thing is in short supply due to the scarcity of the material. Even if you offer a high price, there is nowhere to buy it. You have to wait for fate.
The reason why Li Zhong bought this was mainly because he wanted to use this piece of Baoshu Adam wood, which seemed to have no other use except being polished into a handicraft, to study why Baoshu Adam was so tough.
If all goes well, Li Zhong might be able to crack the material structure of Baoshu Adam and upgrade his Black Sail Wind Chime.
To be honest, this small sailboat brought from the North Sea is just an ordinary medium-sized warship of a North Sea naval officer.
Not to mention those famous large ships, even the warships of the headquarters cannot compare with them in terms of functionality or durability.
Li Zhong is a nostalgic person. On the one hand, he is used to living in this house and doesn't like to move. On the other hand, there are many research equipments in the house that are not easy to move. They are not easy to change and quite troublesome.
So if possible, Li Zhong still plans to upgrade and renovate it based on the original foundation as much as possible.
But a good cook cannot cook without rice. Li Zhong can learn the work of a shipwright, but the problem of materials is difficult to solve.
Until today, when he accidentally came across this piece of the precious tree Adam, the things that had been put aside in the past were brought up again in Li Zhong's mind.
"It seems that if you go out more often, you will encounter good things." Just as Li Zhong was playing with the fragments of the treasure tree Adam, several fierce-looking men holding machetes and axes walked over.
They are the keepers of order in this market.
He is a skilled worker hired by the founder of the market at a high price.
If converted according to the bounty, their strength is approximately between 5000 million and 7000 million Beli, which makes them considered top figures even in the Grand Line.
"Boy, didn't anyone teach you the rules when you came here?" the leading burly man with a knife asked coldly.
He said he was asking, but while he was asking, he began to slowly draw his knife, seemingly not intending to change his actions because of Li Zhong's answer.
"What rules?" Li Zhong was a polite man. When asked, he answered. He ignored the long knife drawn by the burly man.
"No killing and no blood can be seen here. You broke the rules and it's time to go!" After saying that, he didn't even wait for Li Zhong's reply and raised his knife to kill!
Clang!
There was a crisp sound.
Li Zhong stood there without moving, and the burly man with the knife kept swinging the knife.
……what happened?
Looking at the bare handle in his hand and the broken blade that fell at his feet.
The sturdy man's mind was interrupted, and he felt as if his perception of time had been taken away by someone else.
Before he could react, he was already defeated!
At this time, Li Zhong's voice answered: "No, I didn't break the rules."
"Where I am, my will is the biggest rule." Li Zhong said calmly, as if he was talking about something ordinary.
"But as long as it's not too extreme, even if it violates my rules, I will give the other party one chance, only one chance."
The warm liquid flowed down his forehead, around his eyebrows, and left red marks on both sides of the sturdy man's cheeks.
At some point, a straight-shaped wound appeared on his forehead, so deep that the bone could be seen. It was not fatal, but it proved one thing, that Li Zhong could take his life at any time!
If the person standing in front of Li Zhong was a pirate, Li Zhong might have killed him easily.
But this sturdy man with a knife is not like that. He was just a gladiator in the arena before.
Just came here to work.
After saying that, Li Zhong ignored him and continued to walk to other stalls nearby.
Want to see if there is anything else interesting.
Maybe it was because he killed too many pirates in his daily life and did a lot of good deeds, so after taking a quick look, he actually found something he was interested in at another stall not far away.
"How much is this?" Li Zhong asked, pointing at the goods on the stall.
Also small objects not often seen in the ocean are the Flash Shell and the Impact Shell.
"Five million Baileys." The stall owner was still in shock from the instant defeat of the powerful market order maintainer. In response to Li Zhong's question, he subconsciously said the usual selling price.
After hearing this, Li Zhong nodded, then looked around and waved again.
Another warm human head flew into the sky and fell into the arms of the vendor selling flash shells opposite Li Zhong.
Not far away, a headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
But this time, the sturdy man with the knife came to his senses and didn't intend to care.
I came here just to work and earn money.
It’s okay to take care of some small pirates.
Even if he was fighting against someone who was equally strong as him, he could still fight because of the money given by his boss.
But the person on the other side, he didn't even see his move, and he was already "dead". This was a peerless master who was completely on a different level than him! !
Just make some money, even though you know you will die.
slipped away!
Chapter 368: Cranialism (bushi)
"There's no suitable one. You can keep the six million. No need to give me the change." Li Zhong, who gave away the head, said generously.
Then put the two shellfish into his pocket.
Flash shell, impact shell.
It is not a shellfish that is meant to be looked at or eaten.
This is a specialty of the White Sea Sky Island in the Imperial Cumulus Clouds at altitudes above 7000 meters.
The shellfish there have a very peculiar quality.
That is, the ability to absorb certain specific substances and forces and then release them.
The two types of shellfish in Li Zhong's hands, as the name suggests, are shellfish that can absorb flash and impact.
