One piece : The God Slayer

Chapter 8: Heavenly tribute



---

"Hahaha, as expected, after fighting as hard as you can, you should pair it with fine wine!"

The next second, roger was lying on the deck and drinking leisurely.

"You guy, when did you take it out?"

Rono soon discovered that Roger got the wine from his own boat!

After learning advanced winemaking techniques on the island, Rono made a lot of wine and kept it in the warehouse. When did this guy find out?

"Is this the wine you made? The craftsmanship is good!"

Gulp, gulp, and soon a jar of wine was drunk by Roger.

But in the blink of an eye, Roger disappeared and reappeared. When he appeared, there were more than a dozen jars of wine in front of him.

"It's boring to drink alone, let's drink together." The next second Roger threw a jar of wine to Rono.

"Hey, I haven't brewed much in total!" Rono felt a little pain in his heart.

These wines were meant to last until he joined the Rocks Pirates.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it! The battle just now made me exhausted, cheers!"

Roger didn't care about that; he took Rono and started drinking.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"What are you doing with the wine at the bottom of the glass? Are you gonna waste it?"

"Come again, come again, whoever falls first is the loser!"

"Compared to drinking capacity, you can't beat me!"

"You're going to lose to me!"

On the deck of the Vengeance, the excited voices of two people could be heard from time to time.

Just like this, one jar after another, the time went from day to night, from night to day.

Another day and night passed, and Rono's stock was running out.

"You're still not drunk? Are you really only 17 years old?" Roger, slightly blushing, looked at Rono, who was still sober, and couldn't help but exclaim.

When he was 17 years old, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol. How could this guy stay sober after drinking for a day?

It's just that his fighting talent is so remarkable, but his drinking talent is equally incredible!

Coupled with the fact that Rono has great winemaking skills, it's a shame this guy can't join his crew!

Roger couldn't help beating his chest.

"I won't get drunk even if I have another one!"

Rono picked up the jar of wine in front of him and gulped it down.

The system can pick up everything, and drinking capacity can also be picked up naturally.

That's why Rono could drink with Roger all day and night.

Otherwise, with Rono's real drinking capacity, he might sleep for three days and three nights after just one jar.

"Blow it up." Roger felt that Rono was bragging, and he was far behind him in this regard.

"Haha, don't believe me? I'll show you another day." Rono took a bite of the roast chicken first, then picked up a jar of wine and drank it.

"Damn, I'm going to be drunk!"

Seeing that the wine was running out, Roger threw away the chicken drumstick in his hand and drank a jar in his left hand and a jar in his right.

"You actually plotted against me! What a bastard!" Rono was not to be outdone when he saw this, and he drank wildly with both hands.

After all, this is a matter of dignity, and he must not admit defeat.

Gulp, gulp, gulp~

The two of them drank as if it were boiled water, and the hundreds of jars of fine wine were instantly swept away.

"Hahaha, I'm so happy, the sea is so beautiful!"

As the inventory was completely exhausted, the two of them fell drunk on the deck, snoring with laughter.

.....

"How long have I slept?"

As the snot bubble burst, Roger came to his senses.

"Three days." Rono answered while standing in the control room, taking control of the rudder.

"Where are we going?" Roger asked subconsciously when he realized that the ship had already started.

"Heh, an interesting place, definitely to your liking." A smile appeared on the corner of Rono's mouth.

"Oh?"

Hearing that, Roger got interested, got up, and started his own investigation.

Just a short distance away, there were many ships, including a naval warship, a world government frigate, and a giant transport ship.

On the transport ship was a huge amount of gold, silver jewelry, and Berries.

The interesting thing Rono was referring to was obvious.

"Heavenly Tribute?"

"That's right, isn't it funny?" Rono nodded.

Just after a huge growth in his own strength, he encountered the Heavenly Tribute Fleet. Isn't this a coincidence?

With Observation Haki, Rono could perceive the surrounding environment.

So he found an interesting thing - the World Government was collecting Heavenly Tribute.

This is something that every World Government member country must contribute, which is equivalent to a tax.

All this money will be used for the food, daily life, and entertainment of the Celestial Dragons.

If you pay the Heavenly Tribute, the World Government will protect the country from intrusion by others, but if you don't pay, then the life and death of that country has nothing to do with the World Government.

However, the amount of Heavenly Tribute is so huge that even the power of a country is a bit strained.

If things go on like this, some countries levy extortionate taxes, and ordinary people cannot survive, so they go out to sea and become pirates.

Some poor countries even go bankrupt because of this, and the navy does not care if the people are oppressed by pirates.

In the original story, the opening of the era of the Great Pirates certainly has the credit of Roger's last words.

However, many countries went bankrupt due to Heavenly Tribute, and it was also the choice of the times for a considerable number of people who couldn't survive to go to sea and become pirates.

"Hahaha, Heavenly Tribute, it's so interesting, let's start the adventure now!"

Roger opened his mouth wide, revealing an excited smile.

Even though he became a pirate, in Roger's style, he wouldn't rob people, but if the target was the Celestial Dragons, that was a different story.
