Pirates start with breathing in the complete set
Chapter 42: Massawa Town
After half a month of sailing, Rogge and the others finally arrived at the town of Massawa on the West Sea!
In the four seas, every town closest to the Grand Line is the most prosperous one in the four seas!
The town of Massawa in the West Sea is no exception.
After Rogge arrived in Massawa Town, he saw that the port here was full of all kinds of merchant ships. Ships were entering and exiting the port every second. Some merchant ships were even temporarily queuing at sea because they couldn't find a place to dock!
However, Rogge and the others do not have to queue up at the commercial port to enter the island. On the other side of Massawa Island is the largest naval ship repair yard in the West Sea, where a military seaport has been specially opened for the navy to dock warships.
At Military Seaport No. 4, Rogge said goodbye to the North Navy ship escorting them and disembarked.
The current acting commander of Massawa Town, Major Telford, led a team of navy to warmly welcome Rogge. Telford clapped his hands and said to Rogge and Ain: "Welcome Colonel Rogge and Lieutenant Colonel Ain. Come and serve in Massawa Town, and Massawa Town will become more prosperous under your leadership!"
"What are you two doing in a daze? Go and help the two officers with their luggage!"
After Major Telford arranged for two marines to help Rogge and Ain carry their luggage, he made a gesture of invitation and introduced Rogge directly to the general situation of Massawa Town: "Before you came, I was Ma Acting Chief of Sawa Town, but now Massawa Town is your residence, let me give you a brief introduction to Massawa Town:
Massawa Town has a history of more than 700 years since its establishment. It covers an area of 3200 square kilometers and has a current permanent population of about 80.
Most of the residents of Massawa Town live in the town. Only a small number of farmers who grow sugar cane and potatoes live on the small plain in the northwest of Massawa Island. There is an administrative village called Tiantian Village where permanent residents The population is approximately 1.
Due to the advantage of Massawa Town's location, almost all ships going to the Grand Line must stop here for final supplies. Therefore, Massawa Town's commercial trade and various entertainment industries are very developed, and the majority of our annual tax revenue comes from here.
Then there are seven ship repair shops on the east side of the island in the town of Massawa, and most of the young men on the island go to work there.
Besides that……"
Major Telford, the acting commander of Massawa Town, was a sensible person and did not give Rogge the same orders as Lieutenant Curry, who was already cold.
After all, Rogge and Ain directly destroyed Tortuga Island, known as the evil island in the North Sea, with just two people!
With such a record, Major Telford did not look down on Rogge and Ain just because they looked young!
After introducing the situation in Massawa Town to Rogge in detail, Major Telford then asked Rogge for his opinion: "Should we go directly to the naval station or should we go around Massawa Town first?"
There is nothing more boring than sailing.
The water outside is the same, especially in this world without the Internet. Apart from practicing, reading and playing cards, there are no other entertainment activities on the boat.
Therefore, in the original One Piece, whenever Luffy sees an island, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, he must land on it and take a walk, otherwise Luffy may not be able to reach Rafdru and will go crazy.
Although Rogge's character is not as out-of-the-box as Luo Fei's, the half-month voyage is really a bit boring.
Turning to look at Ain, Rogge got the same answer from Ain's eyes, and said to Major Telford: "Let's go to Massawa Town first. We have been on the ship for the past half month. I’m almost exhausted.”
"Okay Colonel Rogge!"
After Major Telford agreed, he looked at his watch and then said to Rogge: "But the navy station has arranged a welcome banquet for you two in the evening. It's getting late now. Let's just hang around for a while. If you two are interested, tomorrow How about we come back for a nice stroll?"
"it is good!"
Roger followed the Romans and agreed to Major Telford's arrangement.
……
The commercial street in Massawa Town is bustling with people, and there is everything to eat, drink and have fun on the street!The level of prosperity is not much worse than the towns of Malinfando.
Although the town of Massawa was bustling with people, Rogge's face became gloomier as he walked around...
On the streets of Massawa Town, whether it is a grocery store, a clothing store, a weapons store, or a restaurant, all kinds of sinister-looking people wearing cloaks to hide their identities can be seen everywhere!Everyone, including the shops and residents of Massawa Town, has become accustomed to the existence of these cloaked men, and treats them as normal customers to do business with them.
The guys with the cloaks who know how to hide their identities are okay.
Rogge even saw a few bastards with pirate tattoos on their arms and chests, with knives and guns on their waists who were obviously dressed as pirates, singing and drinking in open-air bars in broad daylight!
They didn't care at all when they saw Rogge and his group nearby, they were still gathering around the table gambling and drinking as if no one else was around!
Rogge looked at the pirates who were drinking and gambling and asked Major Telford: "Is Massawa Town always like this?"
"No, no, this is an accident!"
When Major Telford saw the pirates, he quickly explained to Rogge: "These bastards must be young people who have just arrived in Massawa Town. I will warn them soon!"
The old people who often come here will hide their identities and won't embarrass us so much! "
Roger was just generally angry.
After listening to Major Telford's words, veins popped up on his forehead. He suppressed his anger and asked Major Telford:
"Come often?
caveat?
Why don't you embarrass us so much?
Are you talking about a town with a navy garrison? It's normal for pirates to come here to trade! ? "
A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Major Telford's forehead, and he stammered and asked Rogge: "If you think about it on Massawa Island, is it...isn't it like this on the other side of the North Sea?"
Rogge was stunned when he heard what Major Telford said. According to Major Telford's opinion, the North Sea is the same as here. He laughed angrily and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have been in the Beihai for six years. What is the situation in the Beihai?" Don’t I know?”
After hearing Rogge's words, Major Telford suddenly asked him: "Where have you served in the past six years? Is it at Ogawa Port or near Ogawa Port?"
"How do you know?" Roger asked Major Telford curiously.After all, Telford is only a major, and with his authority, he cannot see his resume.
Major Telford breathed a sigh of relief after getting the accurate answer from Rogge, and then said to Rogge: "Ogawa Port is a very special island!
The local residents there are basically Wano people who immigrated from the country of Wano decades ago in order to escape the rule of Kaido of the Hundred Beasts. This group of Wano people themselves are very powerful in combat, and in addition to Ogawa Port and The navy is stationed there, so no pirates dare to go wild in Ogawa Port.
You may have basically been active in this small circle for six years and are not very familiar with the surroundings. In fact..."
Major Telford said that he specifically looked at Rogge's face. Seeing that Rogge had no expression, he continued: "Actually, even in the North Sea, the situation on the islands other than Ogawa Port is not much different from here...
In the four seas, every town closest to the Grand Line is the most prosperous one in the four seas!
