The War Of Pirates

Chapter 25 - The Journey to the Peak of Mount Kledge (Part 2)

"It looks like tomorrow, you don't have to behave like this anymore to the two of them, Captain." Zack. "Yes, but it depends on the situation." Answer Captain Albert.

"And it seems that based on your research, it means that in the meantime the merchant has been shown not to lie." Zack.

"Yes, but we must not 100% believe the whole talk, because it could be a lure so that we become fully confident with all the talk and if it happens, it could be, then we can be deceived very easily by it." Answer Captain Albert.

The next morning, at 5 a.m, Captain Albert and the entire army he selected to search for information on Liberly Island as well as the captured merchant Captain Albert were ready to depart for the Liberly Island Information Center Building.

"How's the guy doing ?." Captain Albert asked while putting up his shoes. "The situation is much better than before, although I still have to get further treatment because even though the bullet from your shot managed to get out of his leg. Your shot yesterday managed to stick in his shin so that it made his shin crack. Oh yes by the way if you want to see him right now, then it's a pity that he's sleeping." Answer Wilson.

"Then, everyone. Lock up the entire room in this inn, prepare the food in the man's room. After that we bring the main key of this inn. One more, Wilson, please place these five gold coins next to the man !." Captain Albert's orders.

"But what are you doing that for ?." Ask the merchant. "Of course, because right now maybe Christopher Maximus' men might have known that the man had told us about information he shouldn't have given us. At least with us doing this, the man can have some time to escape through his bedroom window." Zack.

"Not that. My point is why are you helping that guy, I guess you want to kill him ?." Ask the merchant.

"It can be said to be a sign of gratitude, after all there is no point in me killing the man and I am not a bren*sek like you guys." Answer Captain Albert.

After that, Captain Albert and all the troops he selected to search for information on Liberly Island as well as the captured merchant Captain Albert immediately left for the Liberly Island Information Center Building.

"Captain, don't you feel like something's weird ?." Ask Zack. "Yes, this road feels too quiet, even though we are part of the departure, but there should be one or two people who walk this road besides us, but we are, but right now we're the only ones who've been down this road. Though this is the only way to the Liberly Island Information Center Building." Answer Captain Albert.

"Are we not going the wrong way ?." Ask Zuma. Captain Albert stopped walking. "What's up, Captain ?." Ask Rowan.

"Hey, can you explain what's going on here ?!?." Captain Albert asked the merchant he was holding.

"What do you mean ?." Ask the merchant. "Don't pretend to be stupid. Why are we the only ones passing this road ?!?. Though this is the only way to the Liberly Island Information Center Building." Ask Captain Albert.

"Calm down first. That's because there's been a lot of murder and theft in this area lately, which has led to a decline in people's interest in buying information from Foerix on this mountain top, and please keep your voice down." Answer the merchant slowly.

"Yes, it's not strange, if this area is the target of murder, robbery, and others. You see, the people who cross this road must bring money or abundant property to buy information from Foerix. Moreover, this road is covered with trees from the forest that surrounds it, making the lighting on this road not too good. It makes this place the perfect target for crime." Zack.

"But, what do you mean by lately ?. Was the previous criminal level in this area not as high as it is now ?." Ask Captain Albert.

"Yes, does it have anything to do with the English Black Document ?." Ask Zuma. "After the British withdrew from the war on February 7, 1849, 3 days later the Zolda Region surrendered to the Wonder Area because it could not finance their war needs anymore." Answer the merchant.

"Wasn't it been decades ago ?. So what does that have to do with the high criminal rate on this trail right now ?." Ask Rowan.

"That with regard to the high criminal rate on this trail is a result of such events. After the war that raged for several years was over, both the losers and the victors had to taste enormous losses, both from human resources, property, and property, nor the power of the Pacific Pirates that suffered paralysis. As a result of the defeat of the Zolda Region, their territory fell into the hands of the Wonder Area completely, and as a result of these events, their, the entire pirate territory allied with the Zolda Region also fell into the hands of the Wonder Area, making the Wonder Region must lead the entire Pacific Pirates. This was initially a very happy news for the Wonder Area and its allies, namely the entire Pirate Area in the Western Pacific, but on March 1, 1849, the United Kingdom again attacked, this time even with his European allies. This made the Pacific Pirates who had not recovered from the previous major war forced to fight again. The Pacific Pirates surrendered to the British and their allies exactly 1 month later, on April 1, 1849. It made the Pacific Pirates have to lose a lot of territory...." Answer the merchant.

"Wait a minute, why didn't the British and their allies eradicate the Pacific Pirates to their roots ?." Ask Wilson.

"Hm.... Perhaps the British and their allies wanted victory with the slightest loss." Answer Zack.

"But isn't it more profitable to directly root it out ?." Ask Zuma.

"What makes this way more profitable than how to eradicate to the roots that you say is because by attacking one by one the Pacific Pirates can suppress the mental want to become a Pacific Pirate, it is tantamount to destroying the interest of those who want to join the Pacific Pirates and destroying the mentality of all members of the Pacific Pirates so as to make their fighting spirit decrease......" Answer Zack.

"Especially if not wrong 20 years ago the UK began to provide relief to all immigrants who are inmates and ex-convicts from all over the world to enter his country to date. This might be able to get many members of the Pacific Pirates out and join the British side." Keep Wilson.

"Yes, but I'm still confused. What does this have to do with rising crime rates on this road. Is not the decline of the population equal to the rise in welfare because of the decline in competition ?." Ask Zack.

"Yes, what you said was all right. But there's something you're missing. After the Pacific War 2, which lasted from March 1, 1849 to April 1, 1849, pacific Pirate leaders negotiated and argued over their already severely weakened defensive power as a result of previous major wars. To that end the entire Pacific Pirates agreed to take all human resources from every ship that passed in the Pacific......." Answer the merchant.

"Captain, we should walk while telling a story. If we can't, we'll be late here." Cut Rowan.

The six of them walked back and talked. "After that what happened ?." Ask Captain Albert.

"All right, I'm going on. This made the international world, especially Europe, very panicked with the large number of their people who were enslaved by the Pacific Pirates. This makes the threat of Pacific War 3 unavoidable. The war broke out on October 26, 1852 and ended on August 15, 1860....." Answer the merchant.

"Wow, what a long war. Looks like those Pacific Pirates are a big group, huh ?. War as long as it should have been able to wipe out tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people." Connect Rowan.

"Yes, the war was officially won by the Pacific Pirates, but if physically, the Pacific Pirates were badly outnumbered by the huge number of casualties. However, about 45% of the total Pacific Pirates were slaves. With the end of the great war the Pacific Pirates negotiated with the British and their allies to ask them to sign a cease-fire agreement until 1900....." Said the trader.

"Wait first. Why did the Pacific Pirates take such action ?." Ask Zuma.
