Chapter 301: Iceberg!
Su Xiao and Rob Lucci stared at each other for a few seconds before both of them looked away at the same time.
Su Xiao looked around and saw a wooden house in the open space that was usually occupied by the person in charge of this shipyard.
Inside the building, there was a square table where a company worker was sitting.
— Hello, is Galli-La still recruiting? Su Xiao asked with a smile.
— The worker looked at him, then continued to fill out the paperwork.
This was Su Xiao's main problem in the form of 5 points of charisma.
Many characters simply won't take him seriously until he picks up a gun..
— Wait a bit.
Su Xiao sighed after hearing this.
After waiting for a few minutes, he saw the worker finish filling out the paperwork and take off his glasses, then he looked at Su Xiao and said, " Origin?
— East Blue.
— Name?
— Byakuya.
----
The worker stamped the document and then said — " I survived the shipwreck and ended up in Water 7.".. That's all.
The employee took out a stack of documents and looked at them for a while, then said to Su Xiao — " Dock No. 3 needs workers with good physical strength, the payment is 4,000 belli a day.
The meaning of his words was obvious.
Su Xiao thought for a moment, then left the building and pulled out an iron bar from the scrap pile nearby, then returned and bent it with ease, causing the employee's eyes to widen.
But Su Xiao continued to bend the rod until it looked like an iron circle.
The worker's attitude immediately changed. The worker pulled up a chair and motioned for Su Xiao to sit down.
— How strong will you be able to deal with the pirates if anything happens?
The best way to describe someone's strength in this world would be the pirate head reward system.
— 50 to 100 million belli per head is not a problem.
Hearing this, the worker was surprised.
With Su Xiao's strength, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with pirates of this level. In this period of history, he could match the strength of Roronoa Zoro.
— This... May I ask how you fight?" The worker politely asked Su Xiao.
The presence of power completely negated the lack of charisma.
Su Xiao immediately pulled out the Dragon Flash from his inventory and made it appear behind his belt, then pointed at the sword hilt with a light flick of his hand.
— The swordsman?
In the world of Van Pease, anyone who had a melee weapon was a swordsman, and it didn't matter if a person wielded a saber or a sword.
Su Xiao didn't say anything and only nodded.
— Then come with me! The worker motioned for Su Xiao to follow him.
— Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier, my name is Angus and I'm in charge of the first dock.
Angus couldn't have been more than thirty years old. He was a white man with big eyes, and on his body was the most ordinary clothes that could be seen on a simple dock worker.
— Byakuya, who were you before? Angus asked.
Which was the most precious thing in any world. Gold? Money? No, nothing could compare to power, a power that had to be respected and reckoned with.
It was necessary to have the strength that could crush steel if necessary.
— A security guard, I suppose. I accompanied the king of a small country to East Blue, but that country ended up being invaded.
Although Su Xiao had never been there in person, he was very familiar with this world, so he could lie as much as he wanted.
Moreover, even if his lies were discovered, he was now part of the Halley-La company, which did not like to delve into the identities of its employees.
Angus led Su Xiao out of the building and in a certain direction, and Bubtney naturally followed them.
— Is that your dog?" Angus looked at Bubtney in surprise and wanted to touch his head, but when he saw the huge dog's fangs and heard his growl, he quickly pulled his hand away.
— Yes, this is a hybrid of a dog and a wolf.
Angus tried to remember someone who looked like Su Xiao — a guy in his early twenties, a swordsman named Byakuya, who had a very memorable dog with him, and this guy himself was the king's guard.
Thinking back to all the rewards he had seen in his life, he didn't find anyone like Su Xiao.
Well, at least even if he was a pirate, there was no bounty on his head.
They boarded a yagar buli and reached the Water Center in a relatively short time. 7».
Yagara buli was no longer needed in this place, for it was artificial land.
Those who lived in this place were the so-called "Water" nobles 7».
Su Xiao was walking with an escort to the mayor's office.
After entering the building, Angus immediately led Su Xiao to the fourth floor.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
Angus knocked on the office door, and a moment later they both heard, " Come in.".
Angus pushed open the door, and a rather large office with all sorts of furniture appeared in front of Su Xiao.
A tall, middle-aged man with blue hair and matching lips, a sparse stubble on his face, wearing a red-and-orange striped shirt with a wide collar, was resting on a chair.
Su Xiao recognized the man immediately — it was Iceberg, the president of the Halley-La company.
From the Straw Hat Pirates ' point of view, he was a good character.
But was this really the case? Of course, that wasn't the case.
He might be a man of good character, but the business he was involved in wasn't clean.
He sold ships to pirates and helped them repair their ships.
In Van Pease's world, ships were the main means of transportation, so his company was one of the most popular.
And on top of that, Iceberg was an apprentice to Tom, the legendary carpenter who built J. D. Roger's ship. If it wasn't for Tom's skills, he would have been killed by the World Government's people long ago.
Since Iceberg was a direct disciple of Tom, the World Government did not touch him and allowed him to do business.
A business that was closely associated with both pirates and the World Government.
