Chapter 136 Rent Collection
When Long knew that he was going to escort Tian Shangjin, to Garp's surprise, he acted very calmly and just replied calmly,
"okay, I get it."
However, the more Long acted like this, the more uneasy Garp felt, but he couldn't do anything about his son.
Come to think of it, given the rebellious bloodline of the Monkey family, it is already a rarity for Garp to be able to serve as a navy honestly. Don't expect him to be able to manage his descendants.
Soon a month passed, and the World Government's ship to collect the Heavenly Gold arrived as scheduled. Zigg took Lucia and Ginny on board.
The person sent by the World Government this time is also an old acquaintance, namely Ziger's number one lackey, Spandine.
As soon as he saw Jiger, he came up to him excitedly.
"Gee.....General Black Dragon! I'm so glad to see you again!"
Under the gaze of the sailors and men in suits on the ship, Zigg smiled and shook hands with Spandine, which caused Spandine to flatter him again. He didn't shut up until the arrival of Cap and his son.
However, when facing Karp, Spandine was not so enthusiastic. He just greeted him symbolically and then ran to Jiger to show his courtesy.
Karp naturally noticed the change in Spandine's attitude, but he didn't care much about it. He just said to Long,
"Long, you see, this is what the officials in the World Government look like. You can take this opportunity to get used to it in advance, as you will inevitably have contact with them in the future."
Long hummed lightly, but a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.
He didn't want to look at Spandine's disgusting face anymore, so he turned his head to face the sea and said silently in his heart,
“Is there any reason for such a world government to exist?”
......
Along the way, the atmosphere on the ship was quite harmonious, except for the Karp father and son.
Except for hanging out on the deck for a while, the two of them usually stay in the room and seem to be quite honest.
On the way, they also encountered some pirate groups who were rushing to die, but each of them was very weak.
After all, the Sky Gold is no longer a secret, but this year the World Government specifically announced the military deployment on the ship and specifically emphasized the presence of Ziger and Garp.
Any pirate with a bit of brains knows that this year's Sky Gold is not something they can get their hands on.
Most of these pirate groups that dared to come and encounter bad luck had just set out to sea and were still in the novice expansion period. They simply came here and died on the ship.
The rest had some strength, but not much. Their fate was the same as the previous group, with the ship destroyed and everyone on board dead.
During this period, Jiger didn't even take any action. Almost all the problems were solved by Lucia and Ginny. They just regarded it as a reward for their military merits.
Spandine did not dare to have any other thoughts towards the two beauties, Lucia and Ginny. Every time the two women destroyed a pirate group, he would immediately come out to praise them, and then exaggerate their achievements and write them down, patting his chest and saying that he would definitely take credit for the two women when he returned.
It's just that Lucia and Ginny don't pay much attention to him. When they have nothing to do, they stick to Jig. It's a bit hard for Lucia, because she can't run to Jig's room at night like last time...
The ship sailed on the sea along the predetermined route, and the countries along the way voluntarily handed over a large number of rare treasures, including two devil fruits.
However, the quality is very average. There are people on the ship who specialize in identifying devil fruits. After identification, they were found to be just two ordinary animal-type devil fruits.
You have to know that there are more than 170 member states that pay Heavenly Gold, and they always receive a few Devil Fruits every year. It is not surprising that there are people who specialize in identifying Devil Fruits.
Zigg has already instructed Spandine to send the two devil fruits directly to Vegapunk for his research after returning to Marijoa.
After less than a month of sailing, the giant cabin specially built for collecting gold from the sky was already filled by about one-third.
This also allowed Ziger to see the gap between the rich and the poor between countries. The amount of Heavenly Gold paid by Dressrosa alone was enough to equal that of ten countries.
One of the two devil fruits comes from this country.
There are also a few countries that cannot afford to pay the gold from heaven. Jiger is neither a good person nor a bad person. When encountering such a situation, he will let Spandine come forward and deal with it accordingly.
However, Spandine's actions were obviously extremely bad for Dragon, which made him increasingly disgusted with the World Government.
He wanted to rush over and deal with Spandine several times, but was stopped by Karp every time.
Jiger saw everything, but he continued to command the ship calmly until they reached the East China Sea.
The East China Sea is the hometown of Garp and Dragon, but the father and son did not feel any joy when they returned here, because they came here to help the Celestial Dragons make money, which made them feel speechless in front of their fellow countrymen.
So since arriving in the East China Sea, the father and son have never shown up again. They stayed in their room all day, choosing to act like ostriches.
But Jiger would not let them hide like that.
On this day, Karp and his son stayed in the room as usual. They were so bored that they even played chess. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Long went to open the door, and standing outside was Spandine, the person he hated the most.
Seeing that it was Spandine, Long turned around and left without saying a word, sitting back on his bed.
Karp didn't want to pay attention to Spandine. He picked his nose with one hand, pretending that he didn't see Spandine, and asked casually,
"Long, who is standing outside the door?"
Long sat on the bed and continued to play chess with Garp, saying as he played,
"I didn't see anyone, I only saw a dog."
"Well? Are there any dogs on board?"
Garp and Long were talking to each other, their words full of sarcasm towards Spandine.
A layer of gloom appeared in Spandine's eyes. He admitted that he was indeed a dog in front of the Celestial Dragons, especially the Celestial Dragon Jiger Sheng. But outside, even the king had to call him Lord Spandine when he saw him!
What qualifications do these two bastards have to call themselves dogs! ?
He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth,
"How dare you scold me? Do you know what's behind me?"
To Garp and his son, Spandine's anger was just impotent rage. Garp picked out a booger and flicked it at Spandine, and it just stuck to Spandine's white collar.
Long raised his eyes, looked calmly at Spandine, whose face was ashen, and said,
"I don't know. I only know that if you say one more word of nonsense, I will throw you into the sea."
