Chapter 57 Kidnapping

This is already a high-end reception. Although the speed is not fast and it is much farther than taking a boat, you can intuitively feel the specific situation of the country of Alabasta along the way.

Because what you can see along the way is almost the same as the state of the Tru Kingdom in the previous two years, and the people are all in a state of poverty.

"I heard that your country is going to join the world government?" Weiwei, who was sitting on the carriage, asked without anything to say.

"Yes."

"Why do all countries want to join the world government and have to pay high heavenly gold fees every year? I really don't know what it is for?"

Hearing what Weiwei said, Changnuo smiled, and then said, "If I remember correctly, Alabasta doesn't need to hand over heavenly gold, right?

Besides, many times managing a country is not as simple as you think. For example, joining the world government is not something everyone wants to do, and sometimes they have no choice but to do so.

But on the other hand, if a country develops economically and politically, joining a world government may have more advantages than disadvantages for them, just like our country.

Now the entire country has just started, but we have no choice when it comes to development. After joining the world government, at least our country's economic development can take a big step forward. "

"Why is it like you said?"

Facing Weiwei's words, Changnuo thought for a moment and said, "After joining the World Government, although we need to pay heavenly gold every year, it is indeed a huge expense, but it is precisely because of this that we have free For naval use, at least there is no need to consider safety issues when sailing on the sea.

Most pirates would not take such a big risk to rob a ship flying the World Government flag.

Another and most important point is that our goods can open the door to the Grand Route and can directly cross the Red Continent. What do you think of this explanation? "

"So it can still be like this? It feels so profound!"

In fact, Weiwei still didn't understand the meaning of these words. She didn't have access to this level at all, so naturally she was confused about these words.

In the rapeseed field, Junhe had directly ordered all the members of the King's Guard to disperse. Their mission was to find the missing navigator Barlow within an hour.

But one hour was indeed too urgent for them, but the rapeseed field was just that big. They only needed to start searching according to where Barlow might appear. As long as they found a clue, the rest of the matter would be easily solved.

Barlow is a relatively short man, so his appearance and characteristics are almost obvious. As long as you ask around, it doesn't take long anyway, and you can still have some impression of the person you have met.

The King's Guards thus began a comprehensive search, but at this time, Barlow had already begun to suffer inhuman treatment.

"Have you thought about whether to notify your partners and ask them to bring 10 million Baileys over? In this case, it will be good for you, and it will be good for us. "

In an abandoned house, Barlow had been beaten to a state of disgrace. He and another person were tied to a pillar, and four or five people were sitting next to them.

There is no need to go into detail. Judging from the clothes of these people, you can tell what kind of work these people are engaged in.

Junhe's previous guess was quite correct. In the end, Barlow was caught by the pirates. The former pirate captain had been beaten all night and still didn't say a word.

"Captain, why don't we just go and rob the ship? Why do we need to catch this guy here and ask for 10 million Baileys?"

One of the thinner guys among the pirates opened his mouth and asked in confusion.

"What do you know? With such a big ship on board, if Alabasta's army is attracted by then, wouldn't we be able to escape by then?" The captain, who was blind in one eye, said unceremoniously Said directly.

"Ten million beli is about the same. It's enough for us brothers to enjoy themselves for a while. Looking at their boats, these people should be considered quite rich."

Another man wearing what looked like a beret said with a smile on his face.

They were chatting freely here about what it would be like after getting 10 million, but they didn't know what kind of ending was waiting for them now.

Although Barlow had been beaten all night, and his originally chubby face now looked like a pig's head, there was an imperceptible smile on his lips.

After following his king for such a long time, he naturally knows what the strength of Chuan Chuan and others is, so as long as he is still alive, he is not worried at all.

"You guys have been chatting for so long, and you asked me to notify this and that, at least give me the phone bug, right?" Barlow leaned against the pillar and finally started to speak.

After hearing this, the blind captain looked at the other people with curiosity, and asked with a kind of hatred, "Didn't you give him the phone bug?"

"Captain, it seems true, but he has never asked us for it before?" The man wearing a beret said directly.

"You bastards, you've been doing this for so long and you've ended up like this. If this guy hadn't spoken out, when would we have gotten the money?" the blind captain yelled angrily.

The group of boys below saw that their captain was now angry, and hurriedly began to search for Barlow.

Until finally, I found a phone bug wearing a crown, and pressed it directly in front of Barlow.

"Porlu Porro..., Porlu Porlu..."

As the phone bug started ringing, after a while, the phone bug croaked directly, and then a roaring voice came from the other side, "Barlow, where are you bastard now?"

Barlow recognized the other party's voice and smiled with a swollen face, but the pirate next to him punched him in the face and said with a low smile, "I asked you to speak!"

"Barlow, are you in trouble?"

Junhe's voice came from the phone again, but he didn't know that the moment the other party turned on the phone, he had already sensed Barlow's position with his sense of sight.

"The so-called Barlow in your mouth is now in our hands. With 10 million Baileys, go to the Crimea Tavern to find us, otherwise your companions will have to die here."

The captain who is blind in one eye. He grabbed the phone directly and shouted to Junhe.
