Chapter 1342: The Twenty-first Island
The life raft was moored to the shore.
Su Xiao immediately stepped onto the grass and felt something strange under his feet.
Lifting his foot, he saw several white bubbles under the sole of his shoe.
Soap bubbles began to rise from the ground and gradually floated up...
When Su Xiao saw them, he immediately thought of Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Bubtney seemed to recognize the bubbles immediately, as he jumped on them without much thought.
These soap bubbles formed naturally. The Yarukiman mangrove roots released a natural resin that formed similar bubbles after absorbing a certain amount of air.
These soap bubbles had a wide range of applications. They could be used for building houses, for transportation, for covering the hull of a ship, and so on.
More than 60% of the entire archipelago's surface was covered with tar. This resin could not be seen only in commercial and residential areas.
Su Xiao wasn't sure about the island he was currently on. Sabaodi had a total of 79 islands, meaning that the archipelago consisted of 79 islands. They were connected to each other, so they were eventually called the " Sabaodi Archipelago».
The islands from 1 to 29 were considered a lawless zone, they were usually free to roam pirates, various criminals and bounty hunters, respectively, establishments on these islands were mainly aimed at contact with dangerous people.
Islands 30 to 39 were an amusement park complete with various hotels and shops.
Islands 40 to 69 were very safe, with a tourist area, a ship-building area, and the local Marine headquarters located on them
The islands from 70 to 79 were filled with hotels and various famous streets for a couple.
In fact, the Sabaodi Archipelago could be divided into four main areas. The first area was very dangerous, without a certain strength, it was better not to go into it at all.
The second was commercial, relatively safe, and had a large number of legitimate entertainment venues.
The third was a residential area, considered the safest in its own right, and home to more than 90% of the Sabaodi Archipelago's population.
The fourth was a gray area. Most of the women didn't dare enter it without some special reason. During the day, there weren't many people on the streets of this area, but at night it was very busy.
Su Xiao looked around and saw a tree that was almost five meters thick with the number 30 on it, which meant that he was in a relatively safe area.
Since Su Xiao himself was starving, the first thing he and Bubtney did was head to the nearest restaurant.
It was impossible to get lost in the Sabaodi Archipelago. Every tree on this island was marked. Getting lost on this island was only possible if a person completely ignored all the clues.
The Sabaodi Archipelago was a very important place. When Su Xiao was last in the world of Wang Peace, he was able to get detailed information about the archipelago from the Marine Watch.
If his memory was correct, the nearest restaurant was on Island 33, or rather, the entire island was a fast-food zone.
After passing through 31 islands, Su Xiao set foot on the land of 33 islands.
After crossing the stone bridge he smelled the aroma of various dishes.
----
Five minutes later, on the street food street.
— Only two five hundred belli.
— Someone ordered a royal set!..
— Guests, please do not crowd...
This island was very busy. On the streets, you could see pirates who had wandered the sea for a long time, as well as local residents with newspapers in their hands, standing in line to local popular establishments.
There were no high-end restaurants on this island. Basically, you could only buy ready-made street food from roadside kiosks, or packaged food in stores.
Even restaurants put up roadside kiosks on their territory, because they allowed them to attract more visitors. Because of the huge competition, often people simply did not go to a restaurant if they did not see the food served in it with their own eyes.
After Su Xiao handed Bubtni 500,000 belli, he went to a restaurant that specialized in seafood cooking.
Soon, a plate of seafood of various shapes and colors was placed on his table.
One had to admit that the seafood in this world was very delicious. In part, this was due to the fact that there was not yet a problem in this world in the form of pollution and artificial breeding was not yet so popular.
After a hearty meal, Su Xiao leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette.
He arrived at the Sabaodi Archipelago very early, he had 11 more days to complete the task.
His two targets, two Sky Dragons, will appear on the archipelago in ten days.
According to Su Xiao's guess, the two Sky Dragons would arrive at the Sabaodi Archipelago a few days before the mission's announced deadline. Su Xiao certainly wouldn't be able to kill them individually. He would have to kill them in a very short period of time, as only by doing so would he be able to minimize the risks.
Other than that, Su Xiao would also need to find scapegoats so that the World Government wouldn't immediately pursue him after eliminating the two Heavenly Dragons.
And those were already in mind. Several well-known pirate groups will arrive in the Sabaodi Archipelago in the near future.
All of them will unwittingly help him in this difficult task.
While Su Xiao was thinking about this, Bubtney came into the restaurant. He was clearly having trouble moving around because he had eaten too much.
— Woof, woo-woo-g-r-r-r~, " Bubtney seemed to want to say something, but a sudden burp made it impossible for Su Xiao to fully understand the message of his message.
— Did something happen on the twenty-first island?" Su Xiao asked and looked at Bubtney with doubt in his eyes, to which he immediately received a more detailed answer.
While Bubtney was trying this and that food, he overheard information from ordinary residents, according to which 21 islands were now turned upside down.
If it was already better not to visit this island unnecessarily before, now even strong pirates did not dare to appear on this island.
Previously, there were many popular bars on 21 islands, but in just one day all the owners of these bars decided to run away.
During the day, you couldn't even see tumbleweeds on the streets, let alone at night.
If something like this happened on the neighboring island, the border area that separated lawlessness and a very peaceful part of the archipelago, then the Marine Watch would definitely not be idle.
And Bubtney could hear that even the Marines didn't dare enter the 21 islands right now. Marine Patrol, pirates, ordinary people, reporters… No one dared set foot on this island. Anyone who went there ended up disappearing without a trace.
Su Xiao immediately thought of who had occupied this island. It was obviously occupied by contractors. Only contractors would dare to act so recklessly.
But the contractors didn't fight each other in and around Dress Rosa, so why did they go all the way to the Sabaodi archipelago and start a war on one of its islands? What was the reason? Moreover, they were very brazen, from what Bubtney could hear, their battle had already lasted for several days.
Maybe they didn't need to travel around this world and only needed to do something in the archipelago?
Su Xiao opened the contractor communication platform. Due to the fact that all the third rank contractors had returned, the platform became much quieter.
In fact, no one has written on this platform for a long time. A total of 278 fourth-rank contractors had entered this world, and even if some of them were killed in the Battle of Dress Rose, in the worst case scenario, at least 200 fourth-rank contractors would still be alive.
But now there was not a single message from 200 contractors of these contractors.
[
Normandie (Single Player): I'm looking for a group, I'll sign a contract at my own expense, I expect a fair distribution of pirate reputation.
After seeing this message , Su Xiao understood why 21 islands had become like this.
This was due to the pirate's reputation.
The top five pirates would get very good rewards, but what about everyone else? All the reputation they've gained will go down the drain? Just disappear? Su Xiao felt that such an outcome was unlikely. When the time came for all the contractors to leave this world, the contractors who didn't take the top five places would most likely receive an additional reward depending on their pirate reputation, of course, their reward would be inferior to the rewards of the top five, but still, it was better to get something than nothing at all.
