Chapter 15 - 15 - Arriving At The Village Of Cocoyashi

The future 18-year-old Navy Captain is still a small, fat, cowardly, and clumsy 'loser' who has no friends!

Will thought it would be a pity if he didn't lead such a good seedling astray.

What future Navy!

He has more future as his handyman!

Ahem... What Will means is that he can also train Koby, even if he doesn't have the navy's unorthodox food and Garp's loving iron fist education, he can also train him right?

So when he gets into a fight with someone in the future, Koby can beat them for him and when he wins, he'll be able to say, "You can't even beat the handyman on my ship, why don't you die already."

It's so compelling, you know!

At the thought of this, Will's expression as he looked at Koby became strange.

"My lord, I don't quite understand what you mean." Koby lowered his head in a compliant manner.

"You are still young and have never seen many dark sides in this world, that's why you think that the Navy is necessarily righteous, but it's not!"

"So then I'll show you for yourself how dirty the dark side of the Navy really is, and if after that you are still determined to become a Navy, I'll personally send you there."

"If by then you understand your heart and want to stand up for what is right and not just become a navy, I will personally train you so that you have the strength to stand up for what is right in your heart!"

'Damn! It's really addicting when you're getting into your role, it always felt like I was instilling the concept of 'partner of justice' philosophy into Koby's head.' Will thought a little embarrassed.

It would be more embarrassing if one day Koby who remembers his words screamed for Justice just to kill him for being 'evil'!

All these years Koby didn't have a single friend, since all of them just looked at him as a coward and Will was the first person who valued him.

So Koby was very excited when he heard that he could learn under such a strong man!

But before he gave up on being a Navy as his profession, his real ideal was to become a Navy that upholds justice!

"Thank you, my lord! I will record everything that I witnessed with these eyes of mine, and no matter what the end result is, I will remember this kindness of saving me from the pirates for the rest of my life!"

Seeing that his 'brainwashing' was somewhat effective, Will nodded with great satisfaction.

"Okay, go to work, by the way, help me make a cocktail and bring it out."

"Yes!"

Seeing Koby leave with full of energy, Will wondered if it wasn't a little unkind of him to do this, because even if Koby was left alone, he would have unlimited success in the future, while his future under him was unknown.

Well, what the heck!

Anyway, the moment he destroyed the Alvida Pirates and rescued Koby, his life had already changed, and whether he could meet Luffy in the future and join the navy was still a matter of debate.

Then again, as a traveller with Goldfinger, if he can't train Koby, he is useless!

He's the one who's going to stand on top of the world and snap his fingers!

All of a sudden, Will was filled with unlimited confidence in himself again!

....

A few days later, the two Ships finally arrived at the village of Cocoyashi, where oranges are grown.

After paying the so-called 'taxes' to a few fish watchmen, the group was able to go ashore and conduct normal business.

After all, a village needs all sorts of things in order to live properly, and merchants are naturally indispensable!

Instead of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, Arlong allows the people and merchants from the villages to trade for household goods for a fee.

But only for household goods.

As for weapons?

Even if someone dares to sell, do they dare to buy?

Before coming here, the Bluebird Chamber of Commerce had already gathered information on the subject, so what they brought with them were very ordinary daily necessities, pots and pans, as well as salt, vegetables, meat and other things.

Although this trip might not earn much money, Old John did everything he could to befriend Will.

After they landed on the shore, many civilians came to inquire about the situation, and when they learned that they were merchants looking for a trade, all of them had a look of joy on their faces.

Since the moment this place was occupied by the Arlong Pirates six years ago, more and more merchants have been reluctant to come here.

After all, pirates and merchants are naturally on opposite sides, and God knows if they will be swallowed directly after coming here and if their luck is not so good that they will even lose their lives or become slaves which is not impossible!

And the other reason why no merchants come To this Village is because the Villagers are being exploited by Arlong Pirates that they have no purchasing power.

That's why as time went by, no merchants were willing to come here anymore, as risk and reward were not in proportion to the amount of money they would lose.

The villagers, who lacked daily necessities and necessities such as salt, had to pay exorbitant prices just to buy it from Arlong.

That's why a vicious circle was born. And the people who died in the village of Cocoyashi over the years under the rule of Arlong was unknown.

And Nami's adoptive mother, Bellemère, was definitely not the only victim!

It's a good thing Nami, the only one who can move around freely, often brings something back, or there would be more deaths!

....

In the course of the transaction, Will asked about a few things and felt that he had indeed come to the right place this time.

An evil Fish(Shark) like Arlong, he didn't need any sympathy from him for sure!

"That... We don't have any more money, can we exchange it for something else, please, we really need salt."

A woman with a child was pleading with tears on her face, grabbing the first mate's hand, and the first mate also looked embarrassed, after all, he didn't have any say about this, or else if the chairman is not satisfied after going back, he will be the unlucky one.

At this time, Will came over, "We accept barter exchange, not only you, everyone can!".

The villagers immediately looked at him with surprise, and even the captain and first mate looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Is it really okay?"

"Is it okay to trade oranges?"

"I'll trade a hundred pounds of oranges for a pound, no! Is half a pound of salt okay?"

Almost all the villagers use orange as their barters, and it's not really weird since it's the only thing they have after living under Arlong.

But it's alright since their Orange is delicious!

Anyway, Will came here to get rid of the tumour called Arlong and his goons, and then abduct little Nami, so it's naturally a good choice to let his good impression be known by all.
